"Manager Huang, we're here today to buy a small shop. Our commune wants to sell some local specialties in the city to generate income. I heard that the small shop across the street belongs to your Third Department Store. Are you willing to sell it?"
"Your commune wants to generate income? Isn't it good enough for the commune to collect grain in the countryside? Why do you suddenly want to buy a shop in the city?"
Ma Le suddenly looked helpless. "We have no choice. There are many people in the town's commune who need to eat. We have been having trouble paying salaries recently, so we thought of selling some things to generate income. Yesterday, we happened to be shopping at your Third Department Store and saw that the shop across the street was empty, so we wanted to ask if you would sell anything to us?"
"Since your commune is in difficulty, why don't you rent it out? It's much cheaper to rent it out!" Manager Huang asked. In fact, it is not impossible to sell it. The house is a bit shabby and there is no point in keeping it. It can be sold if the price is right.
However, it is still necessary to find out whether it is the property of their Third Department Store.
Ma Le explained, "This is what happened. Yesterday I inquired about the shop next door. Renting it would cost quite a bit of money over the course of a year. After thinking about it, we decided it would be better to buy it. Having our own shop, we can sell whatever we want. It's so convenient!"
Manager Huang believed it a little: "It seems you have done a lot of homework!"
"That's for sure. Since the commune has decided to buy a shop, they must do their homework!" Ma Le nodded.
Manager Huang thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to sell it. I can sell it to you for 80,000."
"Eighty thousand!" Liu Gao shouted before Ma Le could say anything. "This—this is too expensive! Director, we're trying to make money, not sell off the commune! Forget it, Director. We can just go to the street over by the Second Department Store and buy a small shop. It'll only be a little over ten thousand. Eighty thousand is way too expensive!"
Eighty thousand! Nowadays, we buy things by the penny. It’s obviously a rip-off to ask for eighty thousand!
Ma Wan continued to act out the story: "This, this... Manager Huang, your 80,000 is too expensive!"
Manager Huang was startled by the screams from the other side and was unhappy: "You want to buy a shop without money?"
However, he also noticed that the Second Department Store they were talking about had a price of over 10,000 yuan, so the 80,000 yuan he asked for was indeed a bit expensive. The main reason was that the small building was in a state of disrepair. If it were intact, 80,000 yuan would not be a bad price.
Ma Wan glared at Liu Gao and continued to play the good cop: "It's because we have no money that we want to burn our boats. We have no other choice. Manager Huang, please give us a lower price!"
"The building outside the master is in tatters. If we buy it back, we'll have to spend money to renovate it. It's not cost-effective!" Liu Gao pretended to discuss with Ma Wan in a low voice. Although he spoke in a low voice, everyone in the house could hear it.
This made Manager Huang very unhappy, but he now believed in his heart that the person opposite was really going to buy the shop.
Ma Wan pretended to glare at Liu Gao, then said, "Manager Huang, your shop is indeed a bit shabby. How about a discount of 20,000?"
"Thirty thousand is impossible!" Manager Huang said, "There's a yard behind that small building, plus these rooms. Thirty thousand is way too cheap!"
"There's a small courtyard?" Ma Wan had actually known about it for a long time, but he still looked surprised. "Can you take us to see it now?"
Manager Huang nodded and asked his secretary to take the two of them to see the house. Finally, the two of them returned to the office for a second round of bargaining with Manager Huang, and finally got the house for 60,000.
In order to avoid any further complications, they went to complete the formalities immediately and completed most of the procedures that day.
The next day, Ma Wan and Liu Gao were worried about accidents, so they went to the Third Department Store to find Manager Huang's secretary. When they arrived at the Third Department Store, of course they had to say hello to Manager Huang.
After saying hello, the three of them went to the relevant departments to handle the formalities.
Just as the three of them left, a young man walked into the office and looked back at them with a puzzled look: "Uncle, what are these people doing?"
