Chapter 9 Your Acting Skills Are Also Superb

Zhang Sirui was very surprised: "Mr. Chen, the second reason is that the public security in this place is not good. The key is that there are not many rich people."

"Although Mewtwo is a kind of mass entertainment, in general, the more economically developed the place, the more popular it is. Choosing the location here may not be conducive to the promotion of our new Mewtwo."

"Our Mewtwo is best aimed at wealthy people. Those poor people will probably choose the cheaper black Mewtwo or the simpler and more crude dopamine chip instead."

Chen She shook his head slightly: "If you think so, the level is too shallow."

"We Lishan Technology are not a Mewtwo giant like Changye Entertainment Group, and we have no advantage in head-to-head competition."

"Almost all Chaomeng giants know that wealthy people in the inner city are Chaomeng's main customers. There are dozens of experience stores of Changye Entertainment Group in the inner city alone."

“In this case, what advantages does our experience store have?”

"Although the economic conditions in the outer areas of the inner city are worse, people here also have Chaomeng entertainment needs. By choosing our location here, we can compete with other Chaomeng companies."

Zhang Sirui opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but felt that what Chen She said seemed to make sense.

So after he struggled for a while, he nodded: "Okay, Mr. Chen, let's go look at the third site first."

"Since you don't need to enter the inner city, it's easier. You should be able to get there soon."

The highways leading to each satellite city can actually directly connect to the inner city, but entering the inner city requires strict inspection and identity verification, which is more troublesome.

But if you don't enter the inner city and just wander around the outer areas, then you can go all the way unimpeded.

After getting off the highway, Chen She could clearly feel that the surrounding scenery had changed.

Looking from the highway, you can see the towering skyscrapers in the inner city, which are like rolling mountains, majestic.

However, at this time, the buildings on both sides of the road became relatively dilapidated. At the foot of the seemingly glamorous high-rise buildings are graffiti of various colors on the walls, and garbage can be seen everywhere on the ground.

It seemed like gunshots could still be heard vaguely in the distance.

Under the overpass, many homeless people were burning something unknown in the iron barrels in front of them. Their faces were full of indifferent expressions. From time to time, they looked up at the passing vehicles, and then quickly lowered their heads.

Similar situations abound. These homeless or impoverished people are struggling to survive on the outskirts of this magnificent city in various disgraceful ways.

As the commercial vehicles continued to penetrate into the surrounding area, the scene became better, and relatively prosperous commercial centers and dense residential areas began to appear.

Although you can still see some homeless people from time to time, the situation is much better compared to the surrounding areas.

From time to time, several police cars with the "DCPD" logo on them roar past.

DCPD, which is the abbreviation of Dawn City Police Department.

It's a good sign to see a police car. After all, you can't even see a police car in the real slums.

The police won't care about the security of that kind of place at all. People there want to live peacefully, it all depends on their own abilities.

But even though the situation here is somewhat better than in the outermost areas, the large number of buildings crowded together still gives people a feeling of depression and suffocation.

When the commercial vehicle arrives at the designated location, it automatically stops.

Zhang Sirui got out of the car first, and after making sure the surroundings were safe, he opened the door for Chen She.

Chen She got out of the car and looked around, and found that this was indeed a relatively prosperous and lively area.

Although there are still many street gangsters with earrings and tattoos active here, the commercial activities of many low-level merchants are also going on as usual.

Restaurants, bars, weapon shops, and special places with flashing pink lights that have not yet opened for business... Different groups of people mix and mingle, and there is a sense of life.

Of course, the commercial areas in the outer areas cannot be compared with the high-end and high-end commercial places in the inner city. But the level of excitement is even greater than that.

Zhang Sirui said with some emotion: "This kind of scene is really nostalgic."

Through the memory of the original owner, Chen She vaguely remembered that Zhang Sirui was a street gang gangster before joining the resistance. It was only after joining the resistance that he changed his mind and became what he is now.

Chen She guessed that Zhang Sirui's mood at this time should be similar to that of when he just saw the Chaomeng R&D Department, and he felt as familiar as if he had gone home.

The two accompanying resistance fighters, like Zhang Sirui, were always alert to their surroundings and paid attention to protecting Chen She's safety.

However, it turns out that the security level Chen She considered was obviously beyond the standard.

After he got out of the car, although some gangsters cast dangerous and unfriendly looks at him, they quickly looked away.

Obviously, these people can see that Zhang Sirui and these two bodyguards are not easy to mess with.

The four of them walked into an ordinary shop next to the street.

Although there are more skyscrapers in Liming City the closer to the central city, but not all buildings will be built that high.

There are also many buildings with only 7 or 8 floors or even 4 or 5 floors in the outer areas. These old buildings will exist for a long time until relevant companies buy the land and invest a lot of money to build high-rise buildings.

This shop is a four-story building, and each floor covers an area of ​​about four to five hundred square meters.

However, judging from the situation on the first floor, this shop is idle. There are many overturned tables and chairs and garbage inside. It can be said that it is a mess and is not officially open for business.

The owner of the shop is a hunchbacked old man. Most of his right leg has been transformed into a mechanical prosthesis. From the earrings and tattoos on his body, it can be seen that he should have been a member of the gang on this street when he was young.

But after getting old, with the overall degeneration of his body functions, his mechanical prosthesis has completely become a prosthetic.

For a mechanical prosthesis to fully exert its performance, it first requires a certain degree of genetic modification of the human body. Just like a cold weapon, no matter how powerful the magic weapon is, the user cannot control it if the power is not enough.

Seeing Zhang Sirui and Chen She walk into the shop, the old man immediately put on a smile and greeted them.

"Are you interested in my shop? Whether you want to rent or buy, I can guarantee that there is no place on the whole street that is more cost-effective than mine!"

"If you rent, each floor only needs 12,000 credit points per month; if you buy, each floor only needs 3.7 million credit points!"

"There are discounts for all 4 floors."

"If you are willing to settle with corporate bonds, you can get another 20% discount!"

Credit points are the legal currency of this world, and the current purchasing power is roughly similar to the currency commonly used by Chen She in his previous life. However, the purchasing power of credit points is not stable and often depreciates.

Therefore, most of the current large transactions prefer to be settled with corporate bonds.

Corporate bonds are a type of bond jointly issued by many large chaebols in the old land, which is more valuable than credit points.

Of course, there are more valuable things, which are space-time particles, but generally no consortium will use space-time particles to make some low-end transactions.

Only when they are really unable to make ends meet will they choose to use space-time particles for emergency transactions.

Chen She looked at Zhang Sirui, because he did not understand the price level of this world.

The old man had a sly smile on his face. The price he offered was definitely high, but Chen She didn't know how much higher it was.

Zhang Sirui said, "4 floors total 8 million credit points. If you don't agree, then forget it."

The old man was shocked, with an expression that said, "Why don't you follow martial ethics?"

This bargaining was too ruthless. The original price was nearly 15 million credit points, but it was directly cut to 8 million, almost halved!

The old man was about to say something, but Zhang Sirui ignored him and said to Chen She: "Mr. Chen, there is obviously something wrong with this store."

"As far as I know, the two gangs in this area often have conflicts, and the business environment nearby is deteriorating rapidly."

"Many tables and chairs in this store have been smashed, which means that this is likely to be an important place for the two gangs to compete. Or it is also possible that this old man has serious conflicts and frictions with a gang."

"This boss sold the store to us, and he can get out of it safely, but for us, there may be a series of troubles in the future, which is very unprofitable."

"So there is no point in buying it if it is higher than 8 million credit points."

When Zhang Sirui was young, he used to hang around street gangs, and this little twist and turn obviously couldn't fool his eyes.

The boss who was exposed in an instant looked a little ugly. Obviously, what Zhang Sirui said completely hit his soft spot.

At the beginning, the old man opened his mouth at the highest price in the market, just treating Chen She and others as suckers, thinking that he could cheat as much as he could.

But now that he was exposed by Zhang Sirui, he had to put on another face.

Because he could see that Chen She and others had good financial strength.

This store has not found a suitable buyer for a long time. Those who are not afraid of trouble cannot afford the price, and those who can afford the price are afraid of trouble, or they simply do not like this location.

As the fight between the two gangs intensifies, the price of this store will only become lower if it continues to be in his hands.

Thinking of this, the old man gritted his teeth and said: "9 million! What do you think?"

Zhang Sirui carefully looked at the old man's expression and said to Chen She: "Mr. Chen, judging from the old man's reaction, I am afraid that the actual situation is even worse than I expected. I think there is no need to buy it if it is higher than 7 million."

"I suggest you check the other two locations. Although they are a little more expensive, they will be less troublesome in the future. Although this place is cheap, we will have to clean up this mess ourselves in the future."

The boss was speechless. He lowered the price, but Zhang Sirui further lowered the estimate in his mind?

This is really unreasonable!

But seeing that several people seemed to turn around and leave, the old man finally lost his temper: "Come on, 8 million is 8 million! You pay now and the deal is done on the spot!"

Chen She decided to try to cut the price one last time to show his presence as a boss: "750."

The old man was completely helpless. After struggling for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay, 7.5 million is 7.5 million!"

"Who made me old and weak now, I can't fight anymore. If I were 10 years younger, I wouldn't give a penny cheaper!"

The technology in this world is relatively advanced, and even this relatively complex real estate transaction is very convenient. The entire transaction process is completed through the bracelet. All links, including signing contracts and payment, can be completed quickly online.

The old man looked at his bracelet and found that the money had arrived. He happily said some words of blessing, and then he couldn't wait to run away.

Chen She looked at Zhang Sirui: "You bargained well, your acting skills are superb! That serious and resolute tone completely scared the boss."

Zhang Sirui was silent for a while and said: "Mr. Chen, what I said is true."

The two looked at each other, and the scene became a little awkward for a while.
