"Ah..." Chen Chang couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the shopkeeper calling him. He was also complaining in his heart. He had never seen such a beautiful woman. When he saw the proprietor's wife, he lost his composure and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
: "I, Chen Chang, have been very presumptuous towards Madam just now. I hope Madam will forgive me."
Madam frowned slightly. Strictly speaking, it couldn't be said that Chen Chang had lost his temper. It was indeed an unexpected incident. No one had expected it. If Chen Chang hadn't taken action in time, the screen would probably have hit their master and servant.
The lady nodded slightly and said calmly: "Mr. Chen, please sit down."
"Thank you, madam!" Chen Chang hurriedly took his seat. Since there is no screen to obstruct the situation, everyone does not need to be as secretive as before. We have all seen it before.
Chen Chang sighed in his heart, this lady's voice is quite nice and very magnetic.
The shopkeeper coughed a few times and sat down opposite Chen Chang.
The frightened maid poured tea for the two of them, her hands still shaking slightly.
After pouring the tea, Madam asked calmly: "I heard from Shopkeeper Qiu that Mr. Chen is interested in buying our restaurant?"
It seems that she is really eager to sell the restaurant. If she were an ordinary person, she would have to say a few polite words before she can officially get to the point. Now she goes straight to the point, and her eagerness is self-evident.
Chen Chang stood up slowly and saluted his wife again: "Madam, what Shopkeeper Qiu said is true. I do have the intention to purchase your restaurant."
The lady leaned forward and said, "Did Shopkeeper Qiu ever tell you this price?"
Being eager to negotiate the price shows that you are not good at negotiation.
Chen Chang said: "I have said it, but I am not prepared to agree!"
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Qiu's face changed drastically. He stood up and asked, "Mr. Chen, you didn't say that just now. Don't you want to entertain me?"
The lady in the seat also looked slightly stunned.
"Madam, shopkeeper, please be patient." Chen Chang smiled lightly, "I haven't finished what I said yet. I really feel that the price Madam gave is not high, but I don't have that much money in my pocket."
Madam and Shopkeeper Qiu looked at each other and said, after all, they don't have any money.
You don’t have any money, so why come here to talk about acquisitions? What else is this if it’s not entertainment?
The reaction of the two of them was already expected by Chen Chang. Why are you two so impatient? Can't you just listen patiently to what I have to say?
"Madam, to tell you the truth, the price you offered is too low."
Madam and Shopkeeper Qiu were even more puzzled by Monk Zhang Er. They saw that this man had fine features and elegant demeanor, and he didn't look like a fool.
The two simply stopped talking and waited for Chen Chang to continue.
"I fully understand Madam's eagerness to sell the restaurant, but if you do this, someone will deliberately lower the price. The transaction price will only be lower than the current price. Is Madam willing to see this happen?" Chen Chang
He looked at Madam with a smile.
Madam's face turned red. This restaurant was the property of her husband's family. In the past, the old lady and her husband took care of it. However, within a year, the father and son passed away one after another, leaving only a restaurant in Nuo Da. How could she be a woman?
Take care of.
To take a step back, even if you have the intention, you are powerless.
During this period of time, it was thanks to the busy work of shopkeeper Qiu that we managed to survive until now.
Her husband left no heirs, so she had nothing to worry about here. She was not willing to stay in this sad place like Jiangling. She just wanted to sell the restaurant and rush back to her hometown to guard the property to live her life.
The initial price was 3,000 guan, but more than a month later, less than ten customers came to inquire. When these people heard the price of 3,000 guan, they shook their heads, and the one with the most offered 2,000 guan.
One thousand or two hundred guan, the least is less than 2,000 guan.
Madam naturally also knew that these people were deliberately lowering the price. She and Shopkeeper Qiu had carefully calculated that, considering the size of this restaurant, three thousand guan was a really reasonable price. If it were based on market conditions, even 3,500 guan would be reasonable.
At that time, shopkeeper Qiu also advised his wife not to rush to take action. After all, the restaurant still has some customers. It cannot be said that it is very profitable, but at least it can be maintained.
But the lady couldn't wait any longer and was eager to cash in.
In this way, there will be even fewer people coming to inquire.
When shopkeeper Qiu first met Chen Chang, he was the young master of a certain family. He thought that this business would be successful, but who could have imagined that this man almost jumped out of his way.
Could this guy be cheating on food and drink?
Shopkeeper Qiu glanced at his wife, saw that her face was slightly unhappy, and she was complaining in her heart. He immediately walked to Chen Chang and whispered: "Young gentleman, please follow me to the counter, and I will give you a small gift."
Just think of it as a way to avoid disaster, otherwise it would be bad to be entangled by a scoundrel.
Chen Chang couldn't help but smile. Who do you think I am? Are you deceiving me?
If he hadn't been concerned about his image in front of his wife, he might have rolled his eyes at Shopkeeper Qiu.
"Shopkeeper Qiu, I'm really here to discuss cooperation and acquisition with you!" Chen Chang asked himself and couldn't be more serious.
"you……?"
Shopkeeper Qiu looked at him. He was already here, and he was still pretending. Not to mention buying the restaurant, whether he could make ends meet was another question. Most of the skin he was wearing was borrowed.
"Mr. Chen, please don't say it's a joke. Let's talk at the front counter." Shopkeeper Qiu was sweating profusely. He really regretted bringing Chen Chang to see his wife now.
Chen Chang smiled slightly and said: "Shopkeeper, I do this with full sincerity."
Shopkeeper Qiu wants to hit people, but sincerity is of no use. You don’t have any money in your pocket, so what does it matter if you have sincerity?
What the madam wants is cash, two thousand five hundred guan, not a penny less.
When the lady saw the two of them talking together, she lost her temper. She coughed lightly and said: "Chen Langjun, although our restaurant is not well run, we are not allowed to be bullied by others. The young master is still
Leave early, I have something else to do!"
How can you tell yourself that your business is not good? Isn’t this exposing your family’s disgrace? Others want to lower the price for you, but you’d better do it!
It seems that this woman has no business sense at all. Doesn't this give others an excuse to lower the price?
"Madam, I think although this restaurant doesn't have many customers right now, it is a time-honored restaurant after all. If Madam is willing to put more thought into it, it is not impossible to restore it to its former glory."
The lady looked at him. In the past, when the father-in-law and her husband were alive, the business of this restaurant was indeed very prosperous. I dare not say that it was one of the best restaurants in Jiangling City, but as long as Songhe Tower was mentioned, almost no one in Jiangling City would not say...
Know.
Naturally, she didn't want to see her husband's ancestral property ruined in her own hands, but she came from a womanly family, didn't understand business at all, and couldn't show her face, so what could she do?
"Chen Langjun, I have decided to sell the restaurant. If you are really sincere, please come up with 2,500 yuan now, and we will sign and deposit it on the spot to complete the delivery. You can take over the restaurant early the day after tomorrow.
.”
It's useless to talk too much, and the right thing to do is to give money.
The lady asked herself that it was impossible for Chen Chang to come up with so much money, so she simply said this to force Chen Chang to leave.
After so many days, no one could reach a conclusion. To be honest, she was a little frustrated.
Chen Chang smiled and said: "Madam, I told you that I can't come up with so much money at the moment, but we can cooperate!"
cooperate?
If you have no money, how can you cooperate?
Could it be that you just want to get away with nothing?
Madam and Shopkeeper Qiu looked disdainful.
If it weren't for his wife's presence, Shopkeeper Qiu might have pulled him out.
Chen Chang also knew that he had no money in his pocket, so it was difficult to convince these two people, so he said immediately: "Madam, shopkeeper, have you heard of the Lou family in Jiangling City?"
The lady frowned lightly, glanced at the shopkeeper, and saw that he was also confused, so she turned to Chen Chang and said: "Chen Langjun, it is said that the Lou family is as rich as the country, but I don't know why you mentioned the Lou family?
"
The Lou family is one of the top wealthy families in Jiangling. They have friends with people from the imperial court to first-class figures among princes and generals, as well as from the three religions and nine schools. Their influence is so intricate that they cannot be underestimated.
Could it be that this young handsome man is really from the Lou family, but he doesn't look like it, and I have never heard of such a person in the Lou family.
Chen Chang looked at her weird eyes and understood immediately.
Hey, I'm talking about the Lou family, not the big fat Lou family.
Well, blame me for not making it clear, he complained secretly.
"Sorry, I may not have made it clear. The Lou family I am talking about is not the Lou family of Lou Shaokang, but another Lou family."
"Are you talking about sister Qingyi's house?" Madam exclaimed.
Chen Chang was surprised, did he recognize his relatives?
Jiangling City is really too small, and the shop was sold to an acquaintance.
The price is hard to negotiate, and I'm too familiar with it to buy it.
He looked at his wife again. Could it be that this person was also from the circle of ladies and ladies in Jiangling?
Madam's expression immediately softened, and she even had a slight smile on her pretty face, saying, "I wonder who Mr. Chen is from the Lou family?"
This question is a bit embarrassing. I am the unrecognized son-in-law of the Lou family, but this cannot be mentioned in front of others.
"Actually, Madam should have guessed it a long time ago, right?"
The best way to avoid answering a question is to throw it back to the other person.
The lady turned to look at the shopkeeper and asked: "Shopkeeper Qiu, you sent someone to send a congratulatory gift to sister Qingyi on her wedding day. Do you still remember what happened on that day?"
The implication is that he asked the shopkeeper if this person was Lou Qingyi's husband.
Shopkeeper Qiu looked embarrassed. He only delivered the congratulatory gifts that day and did not attend the wedding banquet at all. Who was the groom and how did he know?
The lady was very disappointed. She looked at Chen Chang and hesitated to speak.
Chen Chang knew that he, the son-in-law of the Lou family, had no status in the eyes of outsiders, and also knew what she wanted to say. He laughed and said: "Madam, actually this is nothing. I am just a person with no roof over my head.
A homeless man with no place to stand, who wants money but no money, and no power, is a great blessing to be able to marry Qingyi."
There is a contract signed with Lou Qingyi, and in front of outsiders, they have to pretend to be a model couple and spread dog food everywhere.
A flash of surprise flashed in Madam's eyes, obviously she didn't expect Chen Changhui to speak so directly.
She and Lou Qingyi have been close friends for many years. Naturally, she knew that Lou Qingyi's thoughts were with He Baichuan. However, the two uncles in the family were so hard at each other that Lou Qingyi could only give up her own happiness and marry
Give it to someone you don't like.
She felt that she and sister Lou Qingyi were both suffering from the same fate.
Lou Qingyi married someone she didn't love, and although she married someone she liked, her husband left her early.
Chen Chang didn't know that his wife had such rich psychological activities, so he was eager to negotiate this business.
