After we crossed a few avenues, the car finally stopped next to a high-end star hotel.

I closed the car door, lit a cigarette, looked up at the ten-storey star-rated hotel and said to the blind man: "Even if I sell all my organs, I won't be able to take over such a high-end hotel." ”

"Just a few pieces of you're worth a few pounds. ”

As he spoke, the blind man walked in front of me and lit a cigarette: "The location of the small hotel that is going to change hands is too far away for the car to drive into." Let's go, don't look at it, it won't be yours if you look at it again. ”

I exhaled a puff of cigarette, nodded to the blind man, and followed his footsteps through a few dark alleys before stopping at a small inn called "Moon Half Bay".

It is a small five-story hotel, and the white tiles on the exterior wall have long been yellowed, and the white lines between the white tiles have been smeared with a layer of time. We were greeted by a middle-aged man who was not tall and had a fat figure.

The middle-aged man smiled at us, and his outstretched left hand respectfully shook the blind man's hand: "Hello, Boss Chen." ”

At the same time, the blind man also nodded at him: "Brother Li, hello." ”

"This is my good buddy Zhai Xiuwen. "The blind man introduced me to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at me and stretched out his hand to me again: "Hello, Brother Zhai." ”

"Hello, Boss Li. ”

After a while, the middle-aged man led us into the hotel.

The design of the hotel lobby is simple and common. There are sofas and a table on one side of the lobby, opposite the service desk, and then two bonsai plants on either side of the elevator.

The middle-aged man took us to sit on the sofa in the hall, and beckoned the waiter at the front desk to bring us each a bottle of mineral water.

The middle-aged man handed each of us a cigarette and said, "Do you want to go up and see the house now?" ”

I looked at the blind man to see what he thought. The blind man lit a cigarette and said to the middle-aged man, "Don't look at it yet, let's talk about the specific transfer cost first." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "250,000." ”

"Brother Li, it's a bit of a lion's mouth. As far as I know, there should be less than a year left in the lease of this hotel, let's put aside the decoration, it is too far from the main street, except for motorcycles and bicycles, small cars can't drive in at all, and there is a star hotel in front of it. The nearby hotels are all on the main street, but yours is too far away. After the blind man finished speaking, he smiled at the middle-aged man.

Since I didn't know much about the situation, I rarely interjected during the whole exchange.

"Boss Chen, this is a bad statement. The hotel was renovated three years ago, and there are a total of 16 rooms available for rent, and you are in the industry, so you don't know what 16 rooms mean. ”

"Haha, Brother Li, you know the situation of your hotel, I believe that there is probably not a single guest in your room now. ”

The middle-aged man smiled at us awkwardly, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by the blind man:

"Your hotel was about to change hands last year, but almost a year has passed, and no one has come to take over, I think you should know better than me what the reason is. ”

The middle-aged man looked at the blind man in silence, and the blind man continued when he saw that the man did not speak:

"You've been in charge of this hotel for almost three years, how many times have you stayed in this hotel over the years? Even in the peak tourist season, I don't think many people want to stay in it. Over the years, you have reduced the price and discounted it, and you have lost a lot. ”

The blind man looked at me triumphantly, and I secretly gave him a thumbs up.

The man was silent for a while, then said to us, "Then how much money do you want to take over?" ”

The blind man said to the middle-aged man without thinking about it: "160,000, this is already the limit." ”

The man was still a little unwilling, he shook his body and said, "Why don't you have 20 sons." ”

"Brother Li, I gave you 160,000 yuan for the sake of our acquaintance, you pull your hotel out and ask, and people will give you 100,000 at most. ”

The man sighed and smoked in silence. The blind man said again: "Brother Li, don't worry. It's the off-season, and it's just started, and your hotel lease is less than a year. At least half a year before this off-season can pass, if you don't change hands now, you will lose even more at that time, it is better to be more profitable now, which is only good for you, no harm. ”

The man snorted, "Okay, but I need to get the money today." ”

The blind man looked at me, and then I remembered that I was going to take over the little inn, and nodded to the blind man, signaling that he could.

After chatting with the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man showed us the guest rooms inside. Overall, the decoration in the guest room is not too old, and the layout and layout of the room are okay, and finally we both decided to take over this small hotel for 160,000 yuan.

We returned to the hall again, and the middle-aged man introduced us to the little girl at the front desk: "This is the only staff member in our hotel, she and I have always taken turns to watch the class, if you want to change people, you can decide for yourself." ”

I looked at the little girl at the front desk, and she smiled at us, and two small dimples appeared on her cheeks, which looked very cute. This little girl doesn't look very old, probably about 20 years old.

I leaned over to her and asked, "Little sister, what's your name?" ”

The little girl at the front desk pursed her lips and said to me, "Zhang Xiaoting." ”

"My name is Zhai Xiuwen, and I will be your new boss in the future, do you welcome me. ”

"Of course welcome, it doesn't matter who the boss is, the important thing is to pay me on time, just don't fire me. ”

"Haha. Zhang Xiaoting's words completely amused us.

After the chat was over, the three of us walked out of the hotel, and the middle-aged man once again stretched out his grip to me and the blind man, and shook it heavily: "Thank you, happy cooperation." ”

"Happy cooperation, I'll transfer the money to your account when I go back tonight. The blind man held the middle-aged man's hand a little harder.

The middle-aged man nodded to us: "This hotel will be handed over to you, I'll go." ”

The man put down my hand and the blind man's hand, then stood there again and looked up at the inn, sighed, and left, until his back disappeared from our sight.

"You can transfer the money to my account later, I'll just transfer it to Lao Li. The blind man turned to me and said.

Only then did I realize that I didn't have much money in my hands, only about 120,000.

I looked apologetically at the blind man and said, "I only have a little more than 120,000 in my hands now." ”

"120,000 and you dare to promise someone. The blind man said to me in a loud voice.

"It's not you, who said it so wonderfully and brought me in. ”

The blind man looked at me helplessly and said, "Anyway, I want to open a branch now, besides, since you are back, buddy has no reason not to help you, so let's do it, we will each pay 80,000, and we will split the profit and loss in half." ”

"I also have such an idea, with you, buddy, don't worry. I looked up at him and patted him on the chest.

"You're a scoundrel. ”

The blind man smiled bitterly, straightened his face again, and said to me solemnly: "But do you really have the confidence to open this hotel well? Let me tell you, the one in front is a star-rated hotel, and it is far from the sea, and the street is far away, and the most important thing is that cars cannot drive into this place at all, and the passers-by do not know that there is a hotel here unless they look carefully." ”

"I know this, but I've taken over, I'm going to find a way to bring this hotel back to life, not to mention that with you, it won't be too bad. ”

"It's good to have confidence, but it's the off-season, and you don't want too many tourists to stay in. But you can rest assured that if my sea hotel is full, I will recommend other travelers to stay here. ”

"Okay. ”

"Then I'll go back and transfer the money to Lao Li first, you can familiarize yourself here first, and you can slowly transfer the 80,000 yuan to me." After the blind man finished speaking, he also walked out with the footsteps of the middle-aged man.

I waved at him and looked back, and this is where I'm going to start over.

I said to myself, "Come on." ”
