"Chairman, you've changed. You're not like yourself anymore," Mu Xia said earnestly.
"You're not even going to bargain anymore!"
"Am I really that kind of person who's greedy for small gains?" Lu Yiming said, both amused and exasperated.
"In the past, it was because those capitalists would ask for exorbitant prices right from the start."
I only started bargaining.
Fifty million is a reasonable price, so why should I haggle?
Other people's businesses were also passed down from their ancestors.
Lu Yiming is not Chao Xiong.
We can't just bite everyone we see, can we?
They're just a middle-class person, the kind who wouldn't even rank among the elite in Shanghai.
Why bother?
"Chairman, you are such a good person."
Stop flattering me and hurry up and buy this hotel, or you won't be able to buy it anymore.
"We've also selected three other hotels; would you like to take a look at them too?"
"No need, I trust you, I'll leave this matter entirely to you!" Lu Yiming said directly.
Lu Yiming had complete confidence in Mu Xia's work ability!
Aside from one point where Lu Yiming must be wary of Mu Xia!
Mu Xia always seems to be causing him trouble!
Every time, Lu Yiming would inexplicably make money!
This is absolutely outrageous!
"Chairman... what price do you think would be appropriate for this room?" Mu Xia asked tentatively.
Fearing that Lu Yiming would do something that would lose money again, she whispered again:
"According to a survey conducted by our marketing department colleagues."
They believe that setting the monthly rent at 2,000 yuan is the most favorable price we can offer.
After all, we cover all water and electricity costs; if it were any cheaper, we would be operating at a loss.
Furthermore, to prevent tenants from deliberately damaging our hotel's public facilities, we believe that a deposit of three months' rent plus one month's rent in advance is more reasonable.
From Mu Xia's perspective, she felt that this price was the limit her company could offer without incurring losses.
But for Lu Yiming, this was far from meeting his expectations.
"No, the price is too high. Such a small room costs two thousand a month. It's too much of a burden for us working people in Shanghai."
Do you know how little salary many young people earn right after graduating from university in Shanghai?
Less than four thousand.
As a result, I have to spend half of my money on rent every month, which makes me feel like a miser!
Moreover, the deposit of three months' rent plus one month's rent means that they have to pay eight thousand yuan upfront in order to rent our house.
This is way too exaggerated!
What if they can't come up with the money? We can't exactly make them take out a loan to rent our house, can we?
Our house was originally intended for young people who were temporarily strapped for cash.
If it were really based on a three-month deposit and one-month payment system, someone who could come up with eight thousand yuan at once probably wouldn't be that strapped for cash.
It means that the people who rent our houses are all people who are not short of money.
That's completely the opposite of what we intended!
Just like that saying online, money ultimately flows to those who don't lack money!
Isn't this just making a joke?
"No, no, this absolutely won't do!"
"Then... what if the facilities break down? The long-term maintenance and upkeep of hotel facilities is also a considerable expense," Mu Xia asked doubtfully.
"This money should have been paid by us in the first place!" Lu Yiming said with a strange expression.
“They rented our room, and the facilities in the room were damaged. It is our responsibility to repair them!”
Unless it was intentionally damaged, we must take responsibility for it!
Besides, what rented room isn't damaged? Over time, those bumps and scratches are perfectly normal. Why be so harsh on the renters?
Lu Yiming's words brought tears to the eyes of a large number of viewers in the live stream.
"Waaaaah, the light bulb in the rented room broke by itself, and the landlord insists I broke it and wants me to pay for it. Even calling Uncle Hat didn't help. [Sobbing]"
"Heh, my last bastard landlord insisted that I had scratched the walls a lot and withheld my deposit! [Death smile]"
"My last landlord was the same! I put down two months' deposit with her! When I moved out, she refused to give it back! She even said the deposit was originally hers! And she told me to go to the yamen and sue her if I was not satisfied!"
I just don't understand! Where do these landlords get their audacity? Are they just taking advantage of us because we're from out of town and university students?
"Who invented this thing called a security deposit? I've had some stupid landlords like that before, so now I only live in apartments and will never rent from those stupid landlords again!"
"That's right! Brothers and sisters! Let's stick together! I refuse to believe it! If none of us rent, their houses will just gather dust!"
...
As soon as this topic came up, countless netizens in the live stream chat flooded the screen with comments.
These are the bitter tears of countless netizens!
Therefore, Lu Yiming directly rejected Mu Xia's suggestion.
Because he also came from a working-class background.
Until you realize how stifling it can be to rent someone else's house!
not to mention!
I, Lu Yiming, came here specifically to lose money, okay?!
How could I possibly let you ruin my plans so easily again?
"Then... what would be a suitable price?" Mu Xia asked again.
"How about this, a single room is 500 yuan a month, and a double room is 350 yuan per person a month," Lu Yiming said casually.
