Feng Ye quickly explained, "It's the price for all three shops together, 55,000 yuan. A single shop would cost around 20,000 yuan."
“That’s too expensive.” Xiao Zhaojun shook his head repeatedly. “No, I can’t lend you that money.”
Feng Xuan couldn't help but interject, "Are you out of your mind, A-Ye? This isn't just a few hundred or a few thousand yuan; you can't just buy it like that. This is fifty-five thousand yuan! What are you going to do with it? Are you quitting fishing and coming here to sell your fish?"
"Yeah, Ye-ge, you need to think this through. You can't act impulsively!"
"That's right, that's right. You have to think carefully about such a large sum of money. You can't just buy it on a whim."
"Ah Ye, don't be impulsive. Go back and discuss it with your uncle and the others first..."
Ah-Can, Xiao Guowen, Xiao Yunjiang, and others also offered their own words of advice.
If he really buys it, it will be difficult to explain when we get back. Feng Jiaqing and his wife will complain to death.
Despite everyone's advice, Feng Ye remained unmoved.
“I know you all mean well, but I’ve really thought this through.”
Feng Ye said firmly, "I think these three shops are a bit expensive, but they can't possibly be a loss. They will definitely appreciate in value in the future."
"Think about it, how much did it cost to build a house seven or eight years ago? Two or three thousand yuan at most. But now, it costs at least eight or nine thousand yuan."
"What does this mean? It means that prices are rising and money is losing value."
"As fixed assets, the value of shops will naturally increase with the rise in prices."
"Moreover, these three shops are located in the center of the market, with high foot traffic and huge commercial potential. If you don't buy them now, they will definitely be more expensive in the future."
"It's a pity there are only three, otherwise I would have advised you to buy one or two."
Feng Ye's words made everyone present fall into deep thought.
Indeed, rising prices and currency devaluation are undeniable facts.
Young people may not feel it much, but Xiao Zhaojun feels it deeply.
As fixed assets, shops often retain their value against inflation.
Feng Ye's analysis seems to have some merit.
Xiao Zhaojun was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Aye, what you said makes sense. However, fifty-five thousand is not a small amount. Will your family agree?"
Feng Ye sighed, "Probably. I think I'll buy it now. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't miss out!"
"Ah Ye, don't rush. Go back and discuss it with your parents and Ah Ling first. If they have no objections, it's not too late to buy it then."
"That's right, Brother Ye, this shop isn't going anywhere."
"Of course I can't escape, I'm just afraid someone will beat me to it."
Feng Ye shook his head. "The boss said that more than 20 people have already inquired about it, and with so many people in this market, maybe someone will decide to buy it."
His eyes revealed an unwavering determination as he continued, "I know you all mean well, but I really can't bear not to buy it."
"Are you sure you want to buy it?" Xiao Zhaojun was still a little uneasy.
"I'm sure."
Feng Ye spoke with absolute certainty.
Finally, he added, "If any of you want to partner with me to buy it, you're welcome to join me."
Xiao Zhaojun refused, saying, "Forget it. I borrowed a lot of money when I bought the Harvest ship, and I haven't paid it all back yet. Where would I get the money?"
Since he had said that, even if Xiao Guowen and Xiao Guowu had their own thoughts, they had no choice but to keep them to themselves.
Ah-Can, however, seemed somewhat intrigued after hearing this: "Brother Ye, can we really make money from this?"
"Trust me, it's definitely possible. Even if you don't need it yourself, renting it out is a good option; you can easily make several hundred yuan a month."
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this number is a bit large, I need to go back and discuss it with my parents."
After finishing counting, Ah-Can turned to Feng Xuan and asked, "Brother Xuan, what do you think?"
Feng Xuan, who was lost in thought, snapped out of it: "Ah Ye, I believe you, I'll go crazy with you this once. Anyway, the money I've made recently is because I believe in you, so if I lose it all, I can always start over."
Feng Ye's lips twitched, and he regretted saying that extra word.
Just by touching your lips like that, you've lost millions!
But the words have already been spoken and cannot be taken back.
Moreover, one is his own elder brother, and the other is a brother he felt guilty about for half his previous life, so he couldn't refuse.
However, their involvement did alleviate their financial pressure.
Honestly, if he spent it all, he might end up in debt, so he was a little reluctant to do so. He had to keep some in hand, right?
But thinking of his sister-in-law's personality, he said with some concern, "Of course I welcome her, but will she agree? Let's not let this cause any problems..."
Feng Xuan quickly added, "I'll talk to her properly, but whether she agrees or not, the result is the same. I earned the money, and I can spend it however I want."
Feng Ye stared at Feng Xuan with wide eyes, as if he didn't recognize him.
Is this still the eldest brother?
When has my elder brother ever been so assertive when it comes to money?
“If your family all agrees, then according to the share distribution of the Sunrise, I will take half, and you and A-Can will each take 25%.”
"Okay, let's do it that way."
Feng Xuan and A-Can both nodded.
Feng Ye turned to Xiao Zhaojun: "Uncle Jun, can you lend us the money now? We can pay you back as soon as we get back. Besides, the three of us own 40% of the Harvest Ship."
"You guys..."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhaojun couldn't help but shake his head.
Good heavens, first one person went crazy, now the other two have gone crazy too.
Even if he had money, he wouldn't dare gamble like that; he'd rather save it and use it to buy another boat when he's saved enough.
He didn't try to dissuade them any further, saying, "Ah Ye, I can lend you the money, but you have to think it through. Once you invest it, there's no turning back."
“I’ve thought it through enough. Uncle Jun, please lend us the money.”
"Alright, but I don't have that much on me. I only brought back 11,000 from this voyage, and even with what I had yesterday and today, I only have a little over 39,000."
"Lend me the whole number 39,000, and I'll borrow 6,000 from others."
"I hope you won't regret it, and that you can actually make money."
Xiao Zhaojun took out the money, counted out the change, and handed it all to Feng Ye.
Feng Ye breathed a sigh of relief and happily accepted the money, counting it out in front of him: "Thank you, Uncle Jun. I'll pay you back when I get back."
"No rush. Anyway, you all have a share in Harvest. At worst, we can leave it idle for a few months and not give you any dividends."
"Remember to keep this a secret for us, don't let it get out."
Feng Ye gave a few words of advice, then went with Feng Xuan and A Can to the stall of a fellow villager.
After much persuasion and pleading, I finally managed to borrow six thousand yuan.
Similarly, I gave them a word of advice before they left.
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever, but this saying can still have some effect and prevent it from spreading too quickly.
The three of them then went to shop number 4 and found the owner.
