Moreover, it also gives Xu's Fast Food Restaurant a piece of its mind, so it's not a bad deal.
Immediately, Ren Peng took out his phone and called the landlord, saying that he could offer 2,000 yuan a month for the rent and that he could help him pay the penalty for breach of contract.
Upon hearing this, the landlord immediately grabbed the contract and came over eagerly.
At this time, the landlord next door wanted to break the contract with Xu An and sign a new lease agreement with Ren Peng.
After listening to their stories, Xu An remained calm and composed, looking at the landlord with a composed expression: "There is a clause in the contract that requires compensation for breach of contract. You should be aware of that, right?"
"Yes, yes, the boss said he would pay the breach of contract penalty for me," the landlord hurriedly replied, glancing at Ren Peng with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
“That’s right, I will pay the penalty.” Ren Peng said very decisively, and immediately opened his briefcase to take out money to give to Xu An, but Xu An stopped him.
"Do you know how much the penalty for breach of contract is?" Xu An asked Ren Peng with a half-smile and a curious look.
"Three months' deposit and three months' rent in advance, the penalty for breach of contract after three months is only a little over five thousand, I can afford that little bit of money," Ren Peng said with considerable confidence.
"Mr. Ren, I suggest you read the contract terms carefully before making a decision," Xu An said kindly, glancing at the landlord next door.
contract?
Ren Peng looked at the contract clutched tightly in the landlord's hand with some doubt, and held out his palm, indicating that he should show it to him.
The landlord hesitantly handed the contract to Ren Peng, and even tried to pull it back halfway, but Ren Peng grabbed it.
Starting from the first page, the preceding clauses seemed normal and without any problems. However, when he saw the supplementary clauses on the last page, Ren Peng's face turned green.
The lease term is two years, with a monthly rent of 1800 yuan. Either party breaching the contract will be required to pay three times the deposit as compensation.
Three months' deposit plus three months' rent in advance, that's three times the deposit, that's a lot!
Depend on!
Ren Peng suddenly realized that anything related to Xu's Fast Food Restaurant was bound to be bad. This was true for Elsa Clothing Company, and it was also true for the shop he wanted to lease.
The rent is over 16,000 yuan, and these construction sites generally have a construction period of about one year, which adds more than 1,300 yuan to the cost every month out of nowhere.
Although he wanted to annoy Xu An, there was no need to waste money. He could use the money to look for a better location nearby.
Ren Peng immediately shoved the contract back into the landlord's hands, forced a smile, said goodbye to Xu An, and drove off, leaving the landlord completely bewildered.
"You little bastard, you came here to scare me! If you'd told me you couldn't pay the penalty for breaking the contract, I wouldn't have made this trip!" The landlord next door cursed at Ren Peng's departing car, then turned to Xu An: "You little rascal, you're so cunning! You've dug such a big hole for me, ruining my chance to make money. You believe I'll hire a bunch of thugs to cause trouble every day, making your business impossible..."
Before he could speak, two mountain-like figures appeared behind Xu An, their knuckles cracking as they clenched their fists, looking fierce and menacing.
"Street hustlers? Which street hustlers are you looking for? Do you want me to introduce you to some?" Second Grandfather said, staring menacingly into the eyes of the landlord next door.
Xu Dongliang didn't speak, but simply bent his arms, revealing clearly defined muscles on his arms. His tightly clenched fists seemed capable of smashing a person's head with a single punch.
Holy crap! Things have changed, time to get out of here!
"You just wait!"
After leaving behind this saving face remark, the landlord next door did not hesitate at all, jumped onto his electric scooter, turned on the throttle, and sped away.
Because I was walking too fast, I almost bumped into the flower bed on the side, but luckily I reacted quickly and narrowly avoided it.
Watching his neighbor's disheveled escape, Xu An felt speechless. This guy was really bad at everything but loved to play games! Every time he came out to make a big show of it, he would run away in a sorry state.
It seems that the trick I had when I signed the contract was still useful, otherwise I would have been in trouble with this landlord today, tsk!
Xu An then looked in the direction Ren Peng had left, but Ren Peng was nowhere to be seen. Xu An couldn't help but mutter to himself.
The commercial area here is not yet fully developed, so why is Ren Peng rushing here to open a chain store? Could it be that he has heard some news?
Could it be that the news about Xuguang Real Estate's upcoming meal allowance distribution at its construction sites has been leaked? If Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant knows about it, do the other restaurants already know as well?
Just as Xu An was pondering, his second grandfather reached out and patted Xu An's shoulder, pointing to Xu Dongliang beside him and saying, "Don't worry about that kid. Your Uncle Dongliang is working at the construction site across the street. If anything happens, just give him a shout and he'll come out to help, right, Dongliang?"
Xu An and Xu Dongliang were speechless. They had only been bluffing, but now, after their second grandfather's words, they suddenly seemed like a gangster.
However, with the threats from my second grandfather and Uncle Dongliang this time, the landlord next door probably won't dare to cause trouble again, which is good news.
