How do we bet?
“If I sign the contract for sixty shops first, you can give me ten percent of the profit for this project… If you secure the shops from these three major owners first, I will give you ten percent of the profit.”
"It's quite fair."
"Do you dare to bet?"
I pinched my chin, then gritted my teeth and replied, "If it can bring out our fighting spirit, then let's gamble."
Chen Jin glanced at me, then took out two contracts from his delivery bag and threw them on the coffee table, saying to me, "Actually, I haven't been idle these past two days... Two contracts, one owner has two units, the other has one unit, a total of three units, and I've negotiated them all... The contracts are based on the template we prepared beforehand. If you think there are no problems, just sign them."
You tricked me!
Chen Jin smiled and replied, "I used to work in public relations and crisis management. If I can't even handle you, how can I survive in this industry?"
I smiled helplessly and said, "That's good, that's good... at least it proves that you and your brother have always been on the same side... before, I really thought you were discouraged!"
"No, I just wanted to put some pressure on you... You'll definitely find a way to deal with Cao Jinbo sooner or later."
"You have that much confidence in me?"
"If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't have come to Dali with you... Don't worry, buddy, I'm not the kind of person who can't handle pressure. As long as you don't get discouraged, I'll stick with you to the end on this project."
I patted Chen Jin on the shoulder to express my gratitude... I hadn't misjudged him; he really had his own way of handling public relations, and the fact that he was able to negotiate three shops in such a short time was the best proof of that.
But how should I proceed to negotiate with the three major property owners for their shops? As things stand, my ability to accomplish this task is far less than my confidence in the entire project.
I took a deep drag of my cigarette, releasing some of my worries, and then changed the subject, saying to Chen Jin, "By the way, I plan to use the 60,000 yuan I got from the auctioned shops for the renovation of the entire commercial street... I'd like to do some lighting work... Firstly, to enhance the commercial atmosphere of the whole street; secondly, to let the owners see our investment... With financial investment, they'll believe we're serious about this project... That way, the subsequent work will be relatively easier to carry out... What do you think?"
Chen Jin replied almost without hesitation, "You decide on the strategic matters... As long as it brings hope to our project, I'll support you unconditionally."
"Okay, then I'll start making preparations for this."
Chen Jin nodded... Just then, that extremely annoying noise came from upstairs through the ceiling again... and this time it was even more intense than before. Yang Sisi really did keep her word.
Chen Jin, just like me, couldn't stand it anymore. He rolled up his sleeves and cursed, "This is fucking unbearable... I'm going to go up and beat him up... How can this guy be such a coward!"
I quickly grabbed him and said, "Forget it... Let's go to Tina's bar and have a few drinks, as a celebration for securing six more shops. Let her do whatever she wants..."
"What if he knocks again when he comes back?"
I checked the time and replied, "By the time we get back, it won't be past midnight. She's not a robot; she'll get tired of typing."
Chen Jin looked at me with great suspicion, and after a long while asked, "You were even angrier than me just now, so why are you protecting him now?"
I replied with a smile, "When people are happy, they are in high spirits. There's no need to worry about other people's little mistakes."
As I said this, I thought of Yang Sisi's mischievous personality... I knew I had neglected her too much; she was just using this method to find a sense of self-worth. She seemed arrogant, but only she knew the bitterness in her heart.
