"Okay, leave this matter to me, your senior brother." Lian Guoying said with a smile.
"Of course it has to be handed over to you, otherwise who can control Long Yan?" Zhou Yi quickly agreed.
Zhou Yike felt relieved after hearing that someone was practicing Guoying. She was so worried that she would have to face Long Yan. She really didn't want to talk to Long Yan anymore. It was too disgusting.
Lian Guoying saw that Zhou Yi didn't want to see Long Yan, so he took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, let's see how I, your senior brother, make sure his efforts are in vain."
On the other side, Long Yan tried many ways to rescue Nie Yue but failed.
Nie Yue had already encountered setbacks with Zhou Yi, and now he would have to stay in there for at least three or four years. When he returned to his residence, he couldn't help but get very angry. With bloodshot eyes, he threw everything in the study room all over the place, looking like an angry beast.
After falling, he lit a cigarette and took two deep puffs. If someone saw Long Yan like this, they would be extremely surprised. He always looked calm, composed and polite in public, but he looked like this when no one was around.
"Zhou Yi, Su family, just wait for me. I will repay you a hundredfold for the humiliation you suffered this time." Long Yan muttered to himself while standing by the window smoking.
The next morning, just after Longyan failed to make another appointment with Lian Guoying, a family surnamed Li from Guangzhou, whom he had contacted before, contacted him and said that the owner of the shop he had previously taken a fancy to was now renting it out.
Long Yan immediately went to Li's house. Of course, he didn't want to rent the house, but wanted to get the contact information of the owner.
Because he knew how passive he would be if he rented a shop.
Of course, if there is really no other way, it is also possible to rent it for a long time.
Long Yan came to the Li family, but the head of the Li family told him that the owner only rented and did not sell, and the contract could only be rented for one year.
"Mr. Li, how can you rent a shop on a yearly basis these days? What if I invest in renovations and get kicked out by the owner after a year without earning back my principal?" Long Yan said to Li Li.
Li Li glanced at Long Yan and expressed his understanding: "Mr. Long, I understand your concerns, but the landlord's conditions are there. He also said that if you can't accept it, he would rather not rent it."
Long Yan frowned and asked tentatively, "I wonder who the owners of these shops are? Mr. Li, could you please introduce me to someone? Of course, if the deal goes through, Mr. Li, I will definitely reward you handsomely for your kindness."
Li Li frowned and replied, "This owner is very mysterious. He's the only one who can contact me every time. I can't get in touch with him."
"Could you please tell me his name? Or his surname?" Long Yan asked.
"I'm afraid that's not convenient. He seldom appears in public, and he doesn't want others to know that he is the owner of these shops." Li Li replied while drinking tea.
Long Yan felt that this was even more suspicious and couldn't help asking, "Is the other party's surname Su or Lian?"
Li Li laughed out loud, then replied, "Mr. Long, although I can't tell you who the owner is, I can assure you that it's not the two surnames you mentioned."
At this time, Li Li had to admire Lian Guoying. Basically, what Long Yan said and asked when he came to see him were exactly the same as what Lian Guoying had guessed.
When Long Yan heard Li Li say that the owner's surname was neither Su nor Lian, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the owner's requirements were too harsh.
He wanted Li Li to help him negotiate a lease term: "Mr. Li, you know that signing a one-year contract is really risky for the tenant. I wonder if you can help talk to the landlord and ask for at least a three-year contract."
Li Li shook his head and said, "When he told me about the lease, he made it very clear that if the tenant couldn't accept it, he would rather not rent it."
"Then, Mr. Li, do you know why the owner set such conditions?" Long Yan continued to ask.
In fact, Long Yan is now forced into a desperate situation. If he fails to take the shop, the military order signed with Nai Ke will not be completed, and this is a key area in Yangcheng.
But there must be a reason for the one-year contract, right?
What if there is fraud here? If he signs the contracts for these shops together, and the owners go back on their word and don't renew the contracts after this year, where can he seek justice?
And even to this day, we still can’t find out who the owner is.
"Mr. Long, to be honest, this owner has no trouble renting out his shop, so he has relatively strict requirements for tenants. He is worried that the tenants will mess up his shop. If Mr. Long is really worried, he can look at other shops. After all, there are still many shops in Guangzhou." Li Li talked nonsense seriously.
Lian Guoying once told him that if Longyan continued to ask questions at this point in the conversation, he could persuade Longyan to find another good shop.
Sure enough, when Long Yan heard Li Li urging him to look at other shops, he stopped asking questions, but he didn't say anything and just thought silently.
Long Yan has already visited other shops, and basically none of them can meet Naiko's requirements, otherwise he would not have to go through so much trouble to find out who the owners of these good shops are.
Originally, he wanted to buy it. After all, a rented shop could not be considered a channel established by themselves. What if Naiko contacted the owner directly, or the owner did not renew the contract when it expired? These were all risks he had to consider.
But now the owner only rents and does not sell, and the lease period is so short, Longyan is in a dilemma.
"Mr. Li, next time the owner contacts you, tell him that I am interested and I will sign contracts for all his shops at the same time. I wonder if the owner has told you about the rent of the shops?" Long Yan decided to rent the shops first and see how the rest goes later.
"He didn't say that, but next time he contacts me, I can ask him if he can meet with you when signing the contract." Li Li answered according to Lian Guoying's meaning.
"That's great. Knowing who the owner is, I'll feel more at ease." Long Yan looked at Li Li with a smile.
Finally, when he left the Li family, he left a gift box full of money for Li Li.
After Long Yan left, Li Li called Lian Guoying to report the situation. "Guoying, you're amazing! What Long Yan said is exactly what you speculated."
"It's not difficult. Just keep the gift box he gave you. The Long family's money is ill-gotten gains anyway. You can handle it with it," said Lian Guoying.
"This is not ill-gotten gains. I, Li Li, will not accept them." Li Li said with a smile.
"Then you can donate wherever it is needed," said Lian Guoying.
"Okay, let's do it." Li Li smiled, then continued, "In my opinion, you don't need to do anything with this kid surnamed Long."
"Li Li, don't underestimate him. The best is yet to come." Lian Guoying said and hung up the phone.
