Chapter 135: Being Cheated by a Profligate Merchant
When Chen Yimin heard what Deng Ziqi said, he naturally agreed.
What he wants now is to open a hot pot restaurant and then build up the business.
In this way, both of them will have a stable income when they get old.
After all, the entertainment industry is a job that relies on youth.
You still have to think more about your future.
The next morning, the two of them packed up early, put on masks, and prepared to go to a shopping mall in the city center to inspect the stores.
It has been 10 years since that shopping mall opened, and due to its geographical location, business has always been good.
So Chen Yimin specifically chose that shopping mall.
At the beginning, rent a more expensive storefront, run the business for a while, and see how much income you can generate.
After the two of them arrived at the mall, they looked up at each floor.
When they see a sublease sign on the door of a store, Chen Yimin and Deng Ziqi will go to the store to check out the environment.
After looking around, the two finally chose a store.
This is mainly because the original merchants in this store have moved away, and the location is also very good, right where you get off the elevator.
The floor space is also large enough.
The decoration there is pretty good. If it doesn’t work out, we can redecorate it then.
After the two reached a consensus, they came to the front of the store.
There was an announcement written on it saying that the resale fee was 2 million.
After all, the shops in this mall are not cheap, and Chen Yimin also expressed his understanding.
So he walked into the shop and prepared to discuss the details of the sublease with the boss.
When I walked into the store, I saw a fat man sitting in the middle.
You can tell at first glance that he eats well, as his body is covered with fat.
The middle-aged man saw Chen Yimin and Deng Ziqi walk in, glanced at them with disdain and said.
"You are here to negotiate the sale of the store, right? My price is 4 million yuan. Give me 4 million yuan and I will sell this store to you. If you don't agree, get out of here."
Deng Ziqi was unhappy when she heard this, because she clearly saw 2 million outside just now.
How come the price increased by 2 million yuan as soon as I entered the door? This is seriously inconsistent with the actual price.
So she said angrily.
"What do you mean? Are you trying to blackmail us? The notice board at the door clearly showed that the sublease fee was 2 million yuan, but how come it's 4 million yuan now?"
Chen Yimin next to him was also somewhat dissatisfied. This was a bit like bullying.
The middle-aged man sitting on the stool heard Deng Ziqi's words and said with disdain.
"This is my price. You can buy it or not. If you don't want to buy it, forget it."
Just now, when he saw two people walking in, he took a special look at them.
The two men looked young and young. Thinking of this, the middle-aged man made up his mind to extort money from them.
Because he felt that neither Eason Chan nor Tsz Ki-kei knew the prices of buying and selling shops in the market.
It would be a waste not to slaughter a fat sheep that comes to your door .
So he prepared to temporarily increase the price, from the initial 2 million yuan to the current 4 million yuan.
The man stood up with his big belly and said.
"This mall is priced this way. My location is so good, as you can see, our store is right after you get off the elevator, and it also occupies a large area. 4 million yuan is not too much."
Deng Ziqi felt even more unhappy after hearing this.
It is true that the geographical location and area of this store are very suitable, but the price is a bit too high.
There are so many stores in the mall, and the price of an ordinary one would be at most 2 million yuan.
Now the boss asked for 4 million yuan and even raised the price temporarily. This behavior made her very unhappy.
Thinking of this, Deng Ziqi directly responded.
"Boss, you are being unreasonable. It's clearly written on your sign that the price is 2 million yuan, but now it says 4 million yuan. Are you playing tricks on us? I've never seen you do business like this. No wonder you can't keep it going."
The fat-faced man standing opposite them became unhappy when he heard Deng Ziqi's words.
It seems that she is just scolding herself for being incompetent.
I feel more and more that these two young people are really ungrateful.
He looked at the little girl in front of him and replied.
"I want 4 million yuan today, what can you do to me? This store is mine anyway. If you say that, I think you will lose money no matter where you open a store . With your bad temper, customers will never come to your store."
Then he looked at Chen Yimin from beginning to end with a disdainful look.
"This is your boyfriend, right? He looks poor. If you don't have money, don't open a shop here. You should know that this is a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. Not everyone can afford to spend money here. Before you go out, you should take a good look in the mirror to see how much you weigh."
After finishing, he sat back on the stool and looked at Chen Yimin and Deng Ziqi with contempt.
Deng Ziqi couldn't suppress the anger in her heart anymore when she saw the fat man in front of her.
It's fine if they just said that about her, but now they're even talking about Chen Yimin? They even said that the two of them are poor.
Make yourself act like a multi-millionaire.
I really don't know where this man got his sense of superiority from. He actually dared to say such things in front of the two of them.
Looking at the man in front of her, Deng Ziqi retorted.
"I'm telling you, you're a profiteer! You're an out-and-out black-hearted merchant! I seriously suspect that the things you sold in your store were all fake. People like you don't deserve to make any money in your life."
After saying that, he pulled Chen Yimin and wanted to go outside.
The fat man sitting on the stool saw Deng Ziqi and Chen Yimin were about to leave, and quickly stood up and blocked their way.
"Why are you leaving after I say a few words to you? You young people nowadays just can't afford to have fun. I advise you not to come to this mall. Be careful or I'll ruin your family."
Chen Yimin looked at the fat man in front of him. He had originally come here with a sincere intention to buy the shop, but after seeing what he did, he lost all interest in buying the shop.
Now he understood why the man couldn't run the shop well.
It must be because I have offended too many people and no customers are willing to come.
Looking at the man in front of him with a face full of flesh, Chen Yimin didn't want to say a word to him. He pulled Deng Ziqi and walked to the side.
But when the fat man saw the two people trying to leave, he turned around and stood in front of them again.
"Neither of you can leave today. You just insulted me, and I want you to pay me for mental damages. Let everyone see how you two bullied me."
After saying that, he sat down at the door of the store, blocking the only exit.
Seeing the man's rogue look, Chen Yimin felt very angry in his heart.
