"More."
Hearing the number of 550,000, Chen Fan's face did not have the extra emotion to change, so that the woman opposite could not guess his thoughts.
"First of all, computers are consumables and need to be updated and replaced very quickly."
"Especially if you run an Internet cafe, you will be more demanding on computer performance. Once your computer performance cannot keep up, you will be overtaken by other peers immediately."
"So, to me, the computers in your Internet cafe are not worth much. I will have to reconsider replacing all of them with new ones after one year."
"The most valuable asset in an Internet cafe is the computer..."
Having said this, Chen Fan stopped and looked at the woman opposite him.
"So, you're taking advantage of me by offering this price because I'm not in the same industry."
The woman looked at Chen Fan in surprise. Just a few minutes after they met, Chen Fan had already surprised her several times.
Seemingly feeling embarrassed, the woman raised her head and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Well, if you really want to take it, I can lower the price a little more."
The woman thought about it and named a price.
"Three thousand."
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, indicating that the price was still not worth it.
"To be honest, if I had 30,000 yuan, I could just rent a small shop and open an Internet cafe."
"Besides, I use the latest computer on the market with the best configuration. My business will definitely not be worse than your current store, right?"
The most crucial problem was exposed at once, and for the first time, a trace of panic appeared in the woman's eyes.
He didn't expect that Chen Fan, a freshman, would be so sharp in his view of the problem.
Just a few words got to the heart of the matter and made her lose the battle.
The woman glanced at Chen Fan, hesitated for a moment, and gritted her teeth.
"As long as you can pay the full amount, I will sell it to you in bulk for 30,000 yuan."
Chen Fan continued, "I don't know how long you've had the transfer ad posted."
"But I believe that if you offer 30,000, no one will take it unless they are wronged."
"Again, with that much money, why don't they choose to open a new internet cafe on the same street?"
Chen Fan went on to analyze, "Internet cafes are the most difficult to sell because their most valuable assets are computers, which happen to have the highest depreciation rate."
"Computers are updated very quickly, so the transfer fees for Internet cafes are often very low."
"The only advantage of your Internet cafe is its location, because it is next to Yunhai University. If it is well managed, you will have no problem attracting customers."
The woman nodded quickly.
"Yes, we don't have to worry about the source of customers. Isn't this worth three hundred thousand?"
Chen Fan smiled slightly.
"If I were a customer, why wouldn't I go to a better internet cafe instead of yours which is almost outdated?"
"I joined your Internet cafe to make money. If these computers become outdated after a year, won't I have to buy new ones? Otherwise, I will go bankrupt."
"Then what's the point of me taking over your Internet cafe?"
"Is that the truth?"
After hearing this, the woman stared at Chen Fan in a daze, and finally leaned back in her chair powerlessly, as if all her energy had been drained away.
Obviously, she was at a loss for words after being told off by Chen Fan.
This guy doesn't look like a naive freshman at all, but more like a battle-hardened business elite.
As if she was thinking about something, the woman's eyes reddened slightly.
After a few seconds of silence, he opened his mouth weakly.
"Twenty thousand."
"This is my lowest price. If you don't think it's suitable, then there's no need for us to talk further."
"You've mentioned so many shortcomings, but you know that my Internet cafe is still profitable."
"Let's do a simple calculation. Even if these computers become obsolete in a year, the money you earn in that year will have already paid back your transfer fees."
"You can't lose."
Chen Fan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this woman would react so quickly.
To be honest, if it was two years later, given the current situation of the other party's Internet cafe.
He thinks 20,000 is a rip-off.
But what the woman just said is very true.
Now it is 2000, and Internet cafes are still making profits.
Moreover, Chen Fan is very clear that in the next one or two years, Internet cafes will usher in a real peak period.
At that time, opening an Internet cafe was like planting a money-making tree.
By this calculation, the 20,000 yuan transfer fee is definitely a profit.
But in negotiations, you have to speak in a way that is beneficial to yourself.
Chen Fan looked at the other party and said with a smile:
Chen Fan secretly glanced at the woman in front of him.
Even though he knew he was bargaining so hard, he still agreed to the price reduction.
It seems that the other party is really in urgent need of money.
But Chen Fan's target was not this Internet cafe from the beginning.
"Um... can I ask you, you opened this Internet cafe and shop, is it your own business?"
The woman glanced at Chen Fan with some surprise.
"You can rest assured about this. The house is mine. If you accept it, I can give you a preferential rent. And I promise that the rent will not increase within three years."
"You misunderstood."
Chen Fan smiled and tried to ask, "I want to ask if you are willing to sell this Internet cafe."
The woman was visibly stunned.
"Do you want to buy an internet cafe or a house?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "If you want, I want to buy the internet cafe and the house together."
For the first time, the woman looked at Chen Fan meaningfully.
"Little brother, you have a lot of ideas."
Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Are you willing to sell it?"
The woman shook her head.
"I'm sorry, this house was left to me by my parents, and I have no plans to sell it for the time being."
Chen Fan was a little disappointed.
His goal has always been the house.
Now that I can’t afford a house, I spent 20,000 yuan to buy an Internet cafe.
Although I may not lose money, it is still a bit unsatisfactory.
"What do you think? Do you still want to buy it?"
The woman looked at Chen Fan with some anticipation.
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment and tried to ask.
"Can I think about it and give you an answer?"
The light in the woman's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she forced a smile.
"Of course."
"But... I'll only give you one week, if..."
"no problem."
Chen Fan nodded in agreement.
"During this week, you can continue to post notices. If someone is willing to buy it, or offers a higher price than me, you can sell it to them at any time."
Hearing this answer, the woman was satisfied.
He took out a notebook from his pocket.
"Leave me your phone number so I can contact you when needed..."
Chen Fan smiled a little embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, I don't have a phone number, but don't worry, once I've thought it through, I'll go to the Internet cafe to find you as soon as possible."
The woman looked at Chen Fan with some surprise.
She began to feel unsure of this boy.
He was talking to me about tens of thousands of dollars worth of business, but I didn't even get a single phone call.
This guy, is he really trying to play a trick on me on purpose?
