An hour later, people from the real estate development group arrived at the meeting room.
"Hello Chairman Lu, my surname is Chen, and I am the deputy general manager of Longsheng Real Estate Development Group. I am honored that you have taken a liking to several shops under our company."
"We've come here specifically to discuss cooperation, and we hope to achieve good results today." The other party proactively extended their hand to Lu Yiming.
Lu Yiming warmly shook hands with the other party, expressing his enthusiastic welcome.
The other party not only brought their secretary, but also a complete professional team including negotiation experts, accountants, and lawyers.
Clearly, they are prepared for a protracted battle.
After all, this is a shop in the most commercially valuable business district in Shanghai!
It can generate a large amount of rental and advertising revenue every year!
Even if they can negotiate a price increase of just one percent, it would be a significant source of income for them!
"Mr. Chen, time is precious. In Shanghai, efficiency is paramount. Let's skip the unnecessary probing."
"Let's get straight to the point," Lu Yiming said.
"Chairman Lu is a very straightforward person."
Before you begin your first quote, I'd like to make a few points beforehand.
"Your secretary may have already told you." This Mr. Chen, a seasoned businessman, replied very shrewdly.
"These shops you've been eyeing are currently all rented out, and the five-year leases haven't expired yet."
If we want to terminate the lease early, we will have to pay the merchant a penalty fee. We hope Chairman Lu is aware of this.
"I know, the six million penalty for breach of contract, our company paid it."
I'll add another four million.
"Our company needs this urgently, and we hope you can vacate these tenants as soon as possible," Lu Yiming said casually.
It was as if the six million was nothing more than sixty dollars to him.
Goodness, this completely surprised President Chen.
In order to buy a few shops, they gave their company an extra four million in breach of contract fees for nothing.
Is it really that extravagant?
If they hadn't been aware of the actual commercial value of these shops, they would have thought there was oil buried beneath them, driving Chairman Chen to such madness.
However, Lu Yiming's words have completely exposed his bottom line.
Although I don't know why Lu Yiming and his group are in such a hurry to buy it.
But since Lu Yiming is in such a hurry, they can simply wait for a better price and raise it to a range that is most favorable to them!
"Holy crap! Six million! Breach of contract penalty? What kind of shop charges such a high penalty for breach of contract? Is this shop made of gold?"
"Six million! My goodness! Six hundred dollars is a huge sum for a penniless guy like me, let alone six million! It's practically taking my life!"
"And have you noticed that this six million is just the appetizer, the stepping stone, in this negotiation?"
Without this six million, there's no point in continuing the negotiations.
...
Viewers in the live stream chat flooded the screen with comments.
"That's all right, you can make your bid now," Mr. Chen gestured.
Generally speaking, the buyer makes the offer, and the seller counters.
Once a buyer makes an offer, the seller will definitely try to raise the price.
Then the buyer tries to negotiate a lower price.
Only when the price is brought down to a range acceptable to both parties can the deal be completed.
But this process is quite time-consuming.
It can take anywhere from one or two months to several years.
Some large companies' acquisition negotiations can take decades!
Any unforeseen circumstances that may arise during the negotiations could lead to their breakdown!
Therefore, Lu Yiming had no intention of wasting his time with them.
It's just money!
The one thing I, Lu Yiming, have in abundance is money!
I can just pay to skip this part of the story, okay?
"Mr. Chen, I'm a straightforward person and I don't like things being done in a dragging-out manner," Lu Yiming continued, getting straight to the point.
"We don't need to go through several or dozens of rounds to get a return price."
I'll offer you a fixed price right now. If you agree, we can sign the contract now.
If you don't agree, I'll look for other shops.
Mr. Chen was completely dumbfounded.
He's been in the business world of Shanghai for many years, and this is the first time he's ever seen negotiations like this!
This kind of open and aggressive negotiation style is a bit too much for him!
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Chen chuckled and said:
"Alright, then please name your price, Chairman Lu."
"The total area of the four shops is more than 2,000 square meters, right?"
I'll give you 150 million directly.
Sell these four shops to our company.
"What!!!"
In an instant, everyone present was shocked.
150 million!
Just to buy these four shops!
Are you crazy?!
Although Shanghai is a place where every inch of land is precious, it's not this expensive!
In China, some county-level cities don't even have an annual fiscal revenue of 150 million yuan!
Even Mr. Chen, a seasoned businessman, was shocked by Lu Yiming's extravagant spending!
I've seen spendthrifts before, but I've never seen one this extravagant!
Mu Xia, who was standing next to her, was so frightened by the number that her heart skipped a beat!
They were practically ready to rush up and stop Lu Yiming!
150 million!
Even for their company, this is definitely not a small amount!
