The middle-aged man was overjoyed to see Feng Ye, who had left not long ago, come back again.
He had already thought that the matter would likely remain unresolved and he had given up hope.
"Oh, you're back so soon? Looks like you've made up your mind?"
The middle-aged man had a broad smile on his face, and his eyes were shining with anticipation.
"Yes, I've decided to buy these three shops."
Feng Ye nodded. "However, I'd like to confirm first that there are no disputes regarding the ownership of these three shops, right?"
"Don't worry, there won't be any disputes or trouble."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he quickly took out several large red books from the drawer, spread them out on the table, and said:
"These are the property ownership certificates, deeds, and land certificates for the three shops. They are all complete, legal and compliant, and all in my name."
“I’ve been doing business here for so many years and I still have a good reputation. I would never joke about these things.”
Feng Ye carefully examined the large red booklet and saw that all the owners had the same name. Satisfied, he looked up at the middle-aged man and asked, "Boss, your name is Xu Shaoping?"
"Yes, the name on it is mine."
The middle-aged man answered with a smile.
"The property rights are indeed clear, so there's no problem."
Feng Ye took out the prepared money and neatly stacked it on the table: "It's 55,000 in total, boss, please count it."
Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xu Shaoping's eyes.
In such a short time, this young man actually managed to raise the money.
This was something he hadn't expected at all.
Instead of touching the money, he sincerely said, "Actually, there's no need to pay in full now. Just pay a deposit first, and you can pay the balance when you go to the relevant department to transfer the property."
Feng Ye was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Damn, I was way too impatient!
Upon seeing a shop for sale, they couldn't wait to raise money to buy it.
However, they did not carefully consider the process, did not ask any questions, and did not even think about the transfer of ownership.
It's a disgrace that he made such a grave mistake after living two lives.
At that moment, he wished he could slap himself.
Fortunately, the boss was an honest man and didn't take advantage of him.
If the boss is a bit unscrupulous and takes the money but refuses to cooperate with the transfer of ownership, then there will be a lot of trouble.
If you're even more ruthless, you could sell it a second, a third time...
One woman married multiple times.
Just imagining the scene of a bunch of people arguing and bickering sent chills down his spine.
Feng Xuan and A Can, who were standing to the side, also realized Feng Ye's oversight. Their faces darkened, and they muttered something to each other.
"Mr. Xu, I'm so sorry, I was a bit too hasty and didn't think through the details."
Feng Ye smiled somewhat awkwardly, "You're right, it's fine to pay the deposit first, and the balance can be paid when the property is transferred. That way, everyone will feel at ease."
Xu Shaoping nodded, indicating his understanding: "Young people are bound to be impulsive in their actions, which is understandable."
"How much deposit do you think is appropriate?"
"Anything is fine, any amount is acceptable."
Feng Ye thought for a moment: "Would a thousand be okay?"
“Sure,” Xu Shaoping said nonchalantly. “However, if you change your mind and don’t want to buy it, I won’t refund your money.”
"Of course, what if it's you, Mr. Xu, who changes your mind?"
I'll refund you double.
"Okay, write a receipt."
Feng Ye took the money back, counted out one thousand yuan, and handed it over.
Xu Shaoping counted them, picked up a pen and paper from the table, wrote a few words, and then looked up and asked, "Oh, by the way, what's your name?"
"Feng Ye".
Feng Ye gave his name, but fearing that he might not know how to write it, he added, "Feng is Ma, Ye is the radical for sun, plus the character for China."
"Understood."
Xu Shaoping nodded, wrote a deposit receipt, including the clause about breach of contract, and then handed it to Feng Ye.
Feng Ye glanced at the receipt and asked, "When can we transfer the ownership?"
"Then it's up to you. All my documents are here. Just come find me when you're ready."
After Xu Shaoping finished speaking, he opened a drawer and took out a contract: "This is the sales contract for the shop. Take it back and take a close look. Bring it with you when you transfer the ownership."
Feng Ye took the contract and glanced at it briefly.
The contract details the shop's location, size, price, payment method, and the rights and obligations of both parties.
The specific details were not convenient to look at at this time, but having a general understanding, Feng Ye put the contract away.
"Then we'll head back now and come back tomorrow at the latest."
"Okay, take care. You can come find me anytime."
After saying goodbye to the owner, Feng Ye and his two companions left the shop.
Looking at the bustling crowd outside, Feng Xuan and A Can suddenly felt like they were dreaming, and were a little anxious.
It's just selling fish at the market.
How did you end up buying shares in three shops?
The total price is 55,000, and if each of them takes 25%, that's more than 10,000 yuan.
I don't know if I should have come.
I should be able to make money, not lose money, right?
It should be possible!
"What are you thinking? Are you having second thoughts? If you are, it's not too late. I'll pay for it myself."
Feng Ye looked at the two of them and teased them with a smile.
Feng Xuan and A-Can exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and nodded at the same time.
"That's true to some extent, but backing out is impossible. Once words are spoken, they can't be taken back."
"I don't regret it at all, but I'm a little heartbroken. More than ten thousand yuan, just gone like that, I don't know when I'll ever earn it back."
After listening to their words, Feng Ye smiled and patted them on the shoulder: "Don't worry, making money is a certainty, it just takes a long time, so don't rush it."
Feng Xuan said, "Since I've already bought it, I can only pray to the Goddess Mazu for protection, hoping to earn it back as soon as possible!"
"Yes, may Goddess Mazu bless us!" Ah-Can also prayed.
"Aren't you looking at the wrong person? Mazu, the Goddess of the Sea, only deals with matters at sea. Shouldn't you consult the God of Wealth for things related to money?"
"Then let's pray to the God of Wealth for protection!"
The two quickly switched their prayers.
"It's a pity I don't know where there's a temple dedicated to the God of Wealth, otherwise I would definitely go and burn incense."
"Go back and ask around; maybe someone knows."
"Well, let's not worry about whether it works or not for now, let's just pray first."
"That's right..."
Listening to their conversation, Feng Ye smiled.
That's just how Chinese people are; when faced with the unknown and risks, they always like to seek some spiritual comfort and solace.
Whether it's Mazu, the God of Wealth, or other deities, they all represent people's yearning for a better life and their expectations for the future.
They first went to a fellow villager's stall and returned the 6,000 yuan they had borrowed, inevitably leading to another round of explanations.
They then returned to their own stall.
