After hesitating for a moment, Wang Hua nodded vigorously: "Okay, give him a chance. Let's see if he's sincere about buying or if he's just trying to cause trouble."
"You can rest assured about that. He is absolutely sincere. To tell you the truth, he just bought a few shops and a large courtyard a few days ago. It's just that he hasn't found a shop in Wangfujing yet."
"He has connections, it seems to be the military in the southwest," Du Wei said in a low voice.
After hearing Du Wei's assurance, Wang Hua felt relieved.
Lin Chen is the heir of a long-established family in Shanghai, and has been carefully groomed by his family since childhood.
Lin Chen has been business-savvy since childhood, and there are rumors within his family that the government may loosen restrictions on private business licenses.
Businessmen don't get up early for nothing, and upon receiving this news, Lin Chenmin saw it as a business opportunity, so he came early to make arrangements without telling his family.
The news hasn't been released yet, so the price is lowest right now.
After some deliberation, he felt that the price of 16,000 was more reasonable. However, thinking that there was another group of people in the store who were eyeing the business covetously, he frowned.
After pondering for a while, he slowly walked over and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Wang, I am quite satisfied with this shop. Let's talk business. You can let them leave now."
As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, he noticed that Wang Hua, Du Wei, and Chen Jing were looking at him with strange eyes.
He was secretly annoyed, but he did not lower himself to contact Chen Jing. Instead, he said to Wang Hua, "There is no need to let irrelevant people stay here about these matters between us."
Upon hearing this, Wang Hua's smile became somewhat awkward. Just as he was about to explain, Chen Jing laughed and walked over.
"Young master, you've got your eye on this shop, and so have I. It's a seller's market right now, so why are you trying to drive us away? Did you book the whole place? How much did you pay for it?"
Lin Chen glanced at him coldly: "Mr. Wang, we Lin family don't like idle people watching our affairs."
"Tch, these country bumpkins are quite particular. Our boss doesn't like people watching his business."
Upon hearing the commotion, Wang Yuan immediately shouted his support, and Chen Jing couldn't help but give him an approving look with a smile.
Wang Hua smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Lin, this Mr. Chen is also planning to buy a shop."
Lin Chen's face turned cold: "What do you mean? You're planning to sell the same property twice? This is fraud!"
"What fraud? I already said it, it's a seller's market right now, don't you understand? If you don't know how to do business, don't get involved."
Chen Jing said casually, and Wang Hua smiled slightly: "Mr. Lin, what Mr. Chen means is that he is willing to bid against you."
"Bidding?"
Lin Chen's face darkened, his fair complexion turning black at a visible speed: "Do you think this is an auction?"
"Mr. Lin, I'm a businessman. If someone is willing to pay a high price, I have no reason to disagree, right?"
A few days ago, they only arranged to view the shop, but it wasn't agreed that it had to be given to the Lin family, and no contract was signed. Wang Hua thought back on it and remained very calm.
Lin Chen gave him a deep look, finally giving Chen Jing a proper examination.
The clothes she was wearing had a nice style, but the material was so-so. There were no labels on the cuffs or chest, so it wasn't a brand name. The cut of the clothes was average, and the shoulders and cuffs didn't fit well. It was obvious that the clothes were mass-produced in a factory, not custom-made.
Living environment shapes one's character, and upbringing shapes one's temperament. In fact, one can glean some clues about a person's background from their demeanor, speech, behavior, and clothing.
This is a petty hoodlum who barely scrapes by in the lower-tier market and is not worthy of respect.
How much money can a man like that afford to spend?
He felt disdain, but calmed down and looked at Wang Hua's expression again. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes, fearing that Wang Hua was deliberately inflating the price.
"Alright, Mr. Wang, how much do you want for this shop?"
Wang Hua glanced at Chen Jing, which further confirmed Lin Chen's suspicions, and he sneered inwardly.
Wang Hua: "I already told Mr. Chen when he was looking at the shop that the minimum price for this shop is 18,000."
Chen Jing grinned and raised his hand: "Eighteen thousand, Mr. Wang, you're too kind. I'll offer twenty thousand."
Du Wei and Wang Yuan, who had just walked over, couldn't help but shudder. They immediately offered two thousand yuan. Boss Chen really had guts.
Wang Hua's face lit up with joy, and he turned to Lin Chen with a slight smile: "Mr. Lin, what about you? What are your thoughts?"
Lin Chen gave them a deep look: "Twenty-one thousand."
Chen Jing readily raised his hand: "Twenty-two thousand."
Lin Chen: "Twenty-three thousand."
"Twenty-five thousand."
Chen Jing immediately raised the price by another two thousand, and gave Lin Chen a provocative smile: "Young Master Lin, do you want to raise it again?"
Lin Chen stared blankly at his expression. Twenty-five thousand, seven thousand more than the original price, could buy two shops or a large store in the newly opened Xiushui Street.
He suspected that if he added another five hundred or a thousand, the shop would become his unprofitable possession.
Is he such a sucker?
Thinking of this, Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Mr. Chen, you have great courage. I was wondering when you plan to go to the housing management office to transfer the property?"
"As long as Mr. Wang agrees, we can proceed with the transfer procedures immediately."
Chen Jing glanced at his watch and said, "It's only a little before 3:30, we should have enough time, right?"
Wang Hua was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Of course I have no problem, Mr. Lin, are you really not going to take this shop back?"
"No, thank you. Congratulations to Mr. Chen on your wish coming true."
Lin Chen nodded to Wang Hua and said, "Since that's the case, there's nothing for us to do, we'll take our leave."
He then called to his two attendants and strode out of the teahouse.
The two attendants sullenly snorted at Chen Jing, then turned and followed their master out.
As they left the teahouse, Lin Chen whispered to his attendant, "Keep an eye on them and see if they go to complete the transfer procedures, and whether they really want a buyer."
As soon as the three left, Chen Jing smiled and urged, "Boss Wang, can we go and complete the formalities now? It's almost 3:30, and we still need to go to the bank to withdraw money!"
Wang Hua was worried about whether this person would admit to the mistake, but upon hearing this, he felt relieved: "I'm ready anytime, it's up to you."
"In that case, let's meet at the housing management office in half an hour. I'll go to the bank first."
Just as he was about to leave, Wang Hua reached out and stopped him: "I'll go with you. You can take it out and I'll store it right away. No need to count it."
He was worried that Chen Jing would stand him up, so he just wanted to stay with Chen Jing and prevent him from getting away.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jing patted him on the shoulder generously: "No problem, Comrade Du, let's go together. I'll transfer the money to him later, so you can be a witness and prove that I paid."
"Of course, that's no problem."
Despite their mutual suspicions, the three of them went together happily.
The shop owner has a chance to earn an extra 5,000 yuan, and Du Wei can also earn a commission. At least Chen Jing's shop price this time is several thousand yuan higher than the market price, but thinking about the future prospects in his dream, several thousand yuan is just a month's income, so he took the gamble.
