Lü Qiuyi closed the folder, stood up, and asked:
"Okay, let's go now. How many homeowners are ahead of us?" The secretary didn't hesitate and immediately gave a number:
"Ninety percent of the owners have already taken their orders. There are a few who can't come due to other commitments, and some who reside abroad, so it may depend on whether their flights are available."
The Hongxin Plaza in the suburbs of Nanshan City is now owned by Lu Fan, but some property rights are still registered under the names of other owners.
If Lu Fan wants to fully own the entire unit, he will need to contact these small business owners to complete the acquisition.
These matters have always been handled by Lü Qiuyi. This time, she arranged for her secretary to contact individual property owners to come to the suburbs to discuss the acquisition.
On the way to the negotiations, the secretary was still a little worried and said to Lü Qiuyi with concern:
"Sister Lü, the other party is a bunch of stubborn old folks; they refused to sell from the start."
"They keep raising prices and then acting like scoundrels, always complaining that they don't have enough money. If it weren't for Mr. Lu insisting that this Hongxin Plaza belong to him alone, we wouldn't be letting them ask for exorbitant prices."
Lu Qiuyi merely smiled upon hearing this:
"They're asking for an exorbitant price, and we're just going to haggle over it? It's just a matter of talking, not worth it."
The secretary still pursed her lips and said:
"They're just being deliberately greedy, seeing that we want it, they're going to ask for an exorbitant price." "Sister Lü, you wouldn't really agree to them, would you? The price for one shop is enough to buy two decent shops."
Lu Qiuyi walked with a steady gait, always calm and composed, and smiled as usual upon hearing this:
"Who said we're here to talk about money today? Mr. Lu is rich, but he's not a brainless rich kid."
"They built their businesses from scratch, so it's hard to tell what these owners are thinking."
At this point, the secretary became even more confused. Weren't they here today to discuss the acquisition?
It's one thing if the other homeowner isn't cooperating, but why does it seem like Sister Lü on her side isn't really willing to cooperate either?
The secretary really couldn't understand Lü Qiuyi's, or rather, President Lu's, plans.
However, in such matters, the order from above is always followed exactly.
She's just a secretary, not some big shot. Such complicated matters are not her place to worry about!
With that thought in mind, the secretary stopped arguing and happily followed Lü Qiuyi into the office to meet the homeowners who had just arrived.
These homeowners are considered hardliners: they will not sell unless they are offered double or even three times the market price!
However, Lü Qiuyi helped Lu Fan acquire no fewer than a hundred shops in Hongxin Plaza.
If all the owners were like these hardline landlords, wouldn't the owners who bought the shops at reasonable market prices feel like they lost out?
If they can't tear up a contract that's already in effect, and then come to cause trouble out of resentment, Lu Fan's side will only suffer greater losses.
Therefore, from beginning to end, Lü Qiuyi advised Lu Fan not to tolerate the price-gouging tactics of these hardline homeowners.
Lu Fan had the same plan.
If they hadn't offered a higher price to acquire them, these shops would never have ended up in Lu Fan's hands.
Lü Qiuyi had no other good ideas, but Lu Fan was a businessman who had seen and experienced a lot.
So they quickly came up with an idea together with Lü Qiuyi.
"Ms. Lü, where is your General Manager Lu? He must be very busy."
"That's right, we're very busy too. How about we talk and leave now?"
Several homeowners surrounded Lü Qiuyi, clamoring to leave, but none of them moved an inch further than the doorway.
The secretary quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Everyone, this matter has always been handled by our Sister Lü. She is the legal director of the company and represents our General Manager Lu."
The homeowners only thought that because Lü Qiuyi was a woman, they could overpower her by shouting a few times.
Upon hearing this, they widened their eyes, but ultimately decided that money was the most important thing, so they took their seats amidst the secretary's smile.
Once everyone had quieted down and was seated, Lü Qiuyi instructed her secretary to distribute the documents she had brought:
"This is the purpose of my visit. Everyone, please take a look."
"Gentlemen, this Hongxin Plaza has been acquired by our Fanyue Real Estate Company and will soon be transformed into Fanyue Shopping Plaza."
"New people, new look. Our boss also has some new requirements for the companies under his control. Now that the name has been changed, shouldn't the building layout also be changed?"
The documents held by the homeowners were the changes that Lu Fan was going to make to Hongxin Plaza.
The name change is already a big concern for the property owners, since they bought the shops in the Hongxin Plaza because of the Wang family's reputation, hoping to get promoted and invest in the property with the substantial rental income.
Who would have thought that the new buyer would be so short-sighted? How could "Fan Yue" compare to the Wang family's Hongxin?
If you were to spread the word, who in the whole country would know you, Fan Yue? But almost everyone knows Hong Xin!
Any further changes to the layout are even less likely.
