Chapter 400 Please Bear the Pain and Stop It!
"200,000? Are you sure it's not Japanese yen?"
After hearing this huge number, my uncle Sun Dahai couldn't believe his ears.
When the couple sublet the Mingyun clothing store on Xihe Street, because there were some simple decorations inside, the transfer fee cost 2,000 yuan, and the monthly rent is only 500 yuan per month.
At present, the monthly salary level of ordinary employees in Mingzhou is about 500 to 600 yuan, and foreign-funded enterprises are slightly more, averaging 800 to 1,000 yuan.
The current price of new houses in Mingzhou city is about 1,000 yuan per square meter.
This 200,000 yuan is equivalent to the current 20-year income of an ordinary employee, and can buy two 100-square-meter new houses in the city center!
Now someone is willing to pay 200,000 to take over their storefront. Either the boss of this company has a brain problem, or he is just having fun - teasing you, or there is another kind: a liar!
Sun Dahai simply took the phone from his aunt Li Weiyun and shouted into the phone:
"Boss Wu, you are not trying to make fun of us, are you?"
Wu Xiumei replied on the phone: "Boss, we are serious and sincerely come to discuss cooperation!"
"Which company are you from?"
"Our company's name is Mingzhou Yifan Industry and Trade. The company's office address is at the end of the west side of Xihe Street where your clothing store is located. After crossing the bridge, the two buildings next to Haishu Park are our company's office location. My name is Wu Xiumei, the general manager of this company. You are dialing my mobile phone number now..."
"Oh, so you are Yifan Industry and Trade Company! Every day on the way to our own clothing store, we will pass by your company and see your company's big sign. The two office buildings of your company are designed very specially!"
"Yes, boss, those two very special buildings are the office locations of our Yifan Industry and Trade Company. You are welcome to visit us anytime when you are free!"
"Boss Wu, why did you take a fancy to our clothing store?" Sun Dahai asked curiously
After a few words, Sun Dahai felt that Wu Xiumei on the phone was not a liar.
She spoke politely, and the "Mingzhou Industry and Trade Company" she reported was quite reliable. He passed by it every day, and felt that it was a large and very tasteful company, and the other party took the initiative to invite him to negotiate.
If they wanted to cheat him, they only had this shabby clothing store and didn't have much money, so it didn't seem worth cheating...
But the other party's motives and starting points made the couple feel very strange! They wanted to ask for clarification, and they were afraid of encountering a liar.
After hearing the question raised by Sun Dahai, Wu Xiumei replied with a smile on the phone:
"Our big boss believes in Feng Shui very much. His career has been developing smoothly before, but he has encountered a bottleneck in his career development recently. A few days ago, he spent a lot of money to invite a well-known Feng Shui master in China to look at the Feng Shui of our current office building. The master took a compass and circled around our company for a day, and finally determined that our company's Qinglong God of Wealth is in your current clothing store..."
"Ah, your company's God of Wealth is actually in our clothing store, which seems to have nothing to do with it?" Sun Dahai said in surprise.
"Boss, that's wrong. The master told us that the environment around the office building should be balanced between the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger. Your clothing store is at the intersection of Xiaowen Street and Xihe Street, which is in the Azure Dragon position corresponding to the west of our office building. After using the compass to speculate several times, the master found that your clothing store is exactly the Azure Dragon God of Wealth position corresponding to our company!"
"The master said that if our company buys your current clothing store and opens a store of our company, it is equivalent to opening the front door of our company to the Azure Dragon God of Wealth position. The master said that the door is the air intake, and the intake of vitality and auspicious air is the intake of wealth. The road is water, and water is wealth. When our company's store opens to the location of your clothing store at the intersection of Xiaowen Street and Xihe Street, it will form a 'reverse water situation', that is, open the door facing the incoming water, and there will be a lot of money in the future!"
After being "fooled" by Wu Xiumei, Sun Dahai seemed to "understand" a little bit. He had heard that the big bosses believed in Feng Shui.
Recently, a friend of mine came back from a trip to Hong Kong and told them some interesting stories about Feng Shui battles in Hong Kong told by a local tour guide:
Six years ago in 1990, the Hong Kong Bank of China Building designed by I.M. Pei was completed and opened. The exterior of the Bank of China Building looks like a three-edged sharp knife, with each edge being a cold blade, radiating murderous aura, one pointing to HSBC, one pointing to the British Army Garrison in Hong Kong, and one pointing to the Governor's House.
It is said that just after the Bank of China Building was completed, the Governor of Hong Kong Island had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital.
The Hong Kong Bank of China Building broke ground in 1985, and the 26th Governor of Hong Kong died of a heart attack at the British Embassy in China where he was staying soon after. At that time, HSBC's stock price had once plummeted. The British people of HSBC, who originally had no knowledge of Feng Shui, immediately asked Feng Shui masters for advice. Later, two "cannons" were set up on the roof and pointed at the Bank of China, so-called "knives come and cannons go". It is said that after the two cannons were set up, the performance of the Bank of China declined for a time, and the vice president was also "blasted" out of office by the steel cannons...
Later, the Governor of Hong Kong invited the master to his home for dinner. After learning the "feng shui" reasons, they immediately planted six willow trees on the straight line between the knife edge of the Bank of China Building and the center of the Governor's Mansion. The soft and round shape of the willow trees buffered the sharp corners of the building, allowing the Governor behind to "escape"...
These feng shui stories that were once folk tales made Sun Dahai and Li Weiyun begin to believe in the "motives" of the owner of Yifan Industrial and Trade Company.
"Mr. Wu, is the location of our clothing store really so important to your company's Feng Shui?"
Wu Xiumei answered very "sincerely" on the phone:
"Yes, Mr. Sun, it is really very important! Our company is planning to go public in the capital market recently. The quality of this Feng Shui layout will directly affect the future development of our company. Therefore, I must ask you and your wife to reluctantly give up and transfer this store to our company."
"Mr. Sun, our big boss said that if you are not satisfied with our company's 200,000 offer, we can sit down and discuss it again. Or, please give us a price!"
Oh, my God, according to the implication of Mr. Wu on the phone, there is still room for floating and bargaining on the 200,000 transfer fee...
This happiness is really too unexpected! Li Weiyun and Sun Dahai felt like they were hit by gold falling from the sky tonight.
After the couple discussed it in a low voice, Sun Dahai replied to Wu Xiumei on the phone:
"Mr. Wu, we think that the 200,000 transfer fee given by your company may be too much, and we don't need that much..."
After hearing this, Wu Xiumei sighed in her heart on the other end of the phone: This couple is really honest. There are people in this world who dislike being paid too much. It's really rare nowadays!
"Boss Sun, let's not bargain anymore and settle on a transfer fee of 200,000. Tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning, my colleagues and I will come to your store to sign the transfer agreement and transfer 200,000 yuan to you!"
"Ah, so fast..."
"Boss Sun, do you want to increase the price?"
"No, no, we are very satisfied!"
"Then we will see each other tomorrow!"
...
After hanging up the phone, Li Weiyun and Sun Dahai discussed it quietly there. They were so excited that their faces were flushed and they were very happy.
Seeing the happy look of his sister-in-law and her husband, Li Xiaofan felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart.
At the other table No. 2, Li Xiaofan's second uncle, Li Weikang, the chief clerk of the office of the Foreign Trade Bureau of Mingzhou City, and Li Xiaofan's uncle, Li Weijian, the deputy director of the Gulou Branch of the Haishu Branch of the Mingzhou Branch of the Bank of China, were blushing and boasting while toasting each other.
As the two most promising "big leaders" children under the name of their grandfather Li Mingxian, they spoke louder than other relatives.
When they were happy, they stood up and said, "Hello, brothers, the top five!" and started to play rock-paper-scissors.
At this moment, two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes came in from outside with wine glasses.
After seeing the two middle-aged men coming in, the rock-paper-scissors sounds of the brothers Li Weikang and Li Weijian stopped abruptly!
Then, the two of them suddenly changed their expressions, put down their wine glasses, bowed their heads respectfully and greeted the visitor:
"Hello, President Sun!"
"Hello, Director Qian!"
