Lin Qing looked at the two fingers the middle-aged man held out, smiled slightly, and already had a plan in mind.
"Two hundred yuan? Okay!"
Lin Qing nodded and agreed with a smile.
The middle-aged man shook his head upon hearing this. "Not two hundred yuan, it's two thousand yuan?"
Lin Qing was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then broke into a bright smile. She hadn't expected to encounter such a big fish today. It seemed that this middle-aged man's strength was not to be underestimated!
"2000 yuan, that's no small sum. Are you sure you can handle it?"
Lin Qing asked tentatively.
"Since I dare say I can definitely eat it, it just depends on whether you can get your hands on the goods, comrade."
The middle-aged man smiled and then said with a profound expression.
"How can I be sure you're not playing me? What if I get the goods and you don't want them? This isn't a small amount."
Lin Qing thought for a while after hearing this, and then asked thoughtfully.
The middle-aged man frowned upon hearing this. He thought for a moment, then asked, "What do you suggest we do?"
"A deposit? You need to pay me half of the deposit?"
Lin Qing thought for a moment and then said.
Upon hearing this, a glint of shrewdness flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He hadn't expected the woman in front of him to say such a thing, but he quickly regained his composure, nodded, and said, "I can pay you a deposit, but how can I be sure you won't run off with it?"
Lin Qing frowned with a troubled expression upon hearing this. She didn't want to reveal her address to the middle-aged man in front of her, but she also felt that the middle-aged man's concerns were understandable. After all, it was their first meeting today, and it was normal for them not to trust each other.
The middle-aged man watched Lin Qing remain silent, but he wasn't in a hurry. He waited patiently by her side, surprised that this woman could actually get the two thousand watches.
This made him take a fresh look. He thought that if all else failed, he would pay the other party a deposit. After all, in this capital city, no one dared to cheat his Third Master.
Lin Qing lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly noticed the shop behind her.
Then, she had a sudden inspiration, smiled, and said, "This shop behind me is mine. With this shop here, I definitely won't run away, don't worry!"
The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "This shop is yours?"
"That's right!"
Lin Qing replied with a smile.
"Then this shop next door is yours too, right?"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then continued to ask.
Why do you ask that?
Lin Qing did not answer the middle-aged man's question directly, but instead asked him with a wary expression.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t mean any harm. I just wanted to buy these two shops before, but the housing authority told me they had already been sold. I didn’t expect it was you who bought them.”
Seeing Lin Qing's nervousness, the middle-aged man smiled and explained.
Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but remained vigilant. "Now you should believe I won't run away, right?"
"How can I be sure these two shops are yours, and not that you're lying to me!"
The middle-aged man still didn't agree, but continued to ask.
Lin Qing thought for a moment after hearing this, and then took out the land deed of the shop from her bag.
"This is the property deed for the shop. I put it in my bag and forgot to take it out. It can prove that the shop is mine."
The middle-aged man glanced at the land deed in Lin Qing's hand, then nodded. "Alright, if you hadn't said you forgot to take it out, I would have thought you were here to scam people."
The middle-aged man smiled and then continued, "I can pay you a deposit, but half is too much. I'll pay you a maximum of 10%, which is about 10 yuan."
Lin Qing frowned. "No, 10% is too little."
"Comrade, I'm genuinely interested in negotiating this deal with you. 10% is already quite a lot."
The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Lin Qing shook her head again, "At least 30%, 10% is too risky for me."
"How about this? Let's compromise and settle for 20%. Comrade, you need to understand that these two shops behind you aren't worth 20% of the money. The risk I'm taking is far greater than yours."
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and then said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing glanced behind him. He knew the middle-aged man was right. He had bought the two shops behind him for only 9,000 yuan, but the man was willing to pay a deposit of 9,000 yuan to a stranger, which was indeed a great risk.
“Okay, how about this? You go back and get the money, and I'll write up a contract. That way, it'll be in black and white, and neither of us will have any worries.”
"Okay, then you wait here, I'll go back and get the money!"
When the middle-aged man heard Lin Qing mention signing a contract, he smiled. He wasn't actually afraid that the woman in front of him would deceive him, but it was good that the contract was signed.
…………
Not long after the middle-aged man left, the young girls arrived with their relatives and friends.
The four girls brought a total of 13 customers. As promised, Lin Qing sold them watches and gave them a commission of 13 yuan as agreed.
"Boss, will you be selling watches here again tomorrow?"
After seeing off their relatives and friends, the girls received their commissions from Lin Qing with delighted expressions, and then asked her with smiles.
"I won't be coming tomorrow, the watches are all sold out!"
Lin Qing smiled and shook her head.
"Oh! They're all sold out! Will you still sell watches in the future?"
The girls asked with regret.
"I probably won't be selling anymore, but I still sell clothes. You can help me sell clothes."
