The weather is already very warm, Yan Buwen is too hot to wear a shirt, and today is still the beginning of summer, waiting for the newspaper office to walk to the next street, Yan Buwen shirt has been wet with sweat, the street next door is more remote than Tianxiang Road, where Xinglong Newspaper is located, there are almost no people on the street, so the rent here is also cheap, and Xinglong Newspaper is only less than 500 meters away, it is convenient to go back and forth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cao Yuan'an, Chen Kang, Yan Buwen, and Luo Yang, the manager of the printing department, met with the boss of the factory, and the boss warmly invited Yan Buwen to take a look inside the factory, and when they went in, they found that the place was quite large, a total of about four or five hundred square meters, and it was more than enough to place twenty or thirty machines.

The boss introduced: "The factory built by my own family was rented to a factory before, but after the factory closed down, it has been empty, if you want to rent, I will make it cheaper for you." ”

Cao Yuan'an looked around, he had been here once before, and he thought it was okay, this time he mainly brought the main person in charge of the newspaper to come and have a look, and if there was no problem, he would directly finalize: "What do you think?" ”

Chen Kang is Cao Yuanan's confidant, and everything he says follows Cao Yuanan: "The manager has seen it before, there is no problem, then there must be no problem, Mr. Yan, what do you think?" ”

Yan Buwen looked at these three people, Chen Kang and Luo Yang were both Cao Yuanan's people, and their opinions were no longer important: "If you can, that's it." ”

The boss smiled: "If you want to rent, we will say that we need a ** year's rent, and soon the troops in Guangzhou will come over, I have to go to Guangzhou to take refuge, in total, you just give 5,000 yuan." ”

5000？ Yan Buwen smiled, isn't this boss planning to come back? 5,000 yuan can buy his place, and the rent of this four or five hundred square meters of factory is at most 1,000 yuan a year, and this guy also sits on the ground and starts at the price.

Chen Kang was so angry that he grabbed the boss's collar when he went up: "When we asked you before, wasn't it just 1,000 yuan, and now you have multiplied me fivefold?" ”

The boss broke free of Chen Kang and smiled: "Don't be angry, you have something to say, this factory is such a large area, 5,000 yuan is not expensive, and you see that our area is not very remote, and the price is indeed cheap." ”

Chen Kang's face is red and his ears are hot, he is originally a scholar, and he is definitely not as good as the old fritters of these societies in terms of quarrels, if he fights, a scholar like Chen Kang who does not have much strength may not be able to beat this boss who looks very fat. He could only be angry on the sidelines, hoping that his anger would scare the boss.

The boss smiled: "Manager Cao, I respect you for being an honest person, so I took you to see, 5,000 yuan is not high, for such a big newspaper as yours, and you also said that you want to rent, I will keep it for you, I have done my best, what are you doing?" ”

Luo Yang said: "Whoever played you, it turned out to be a thousand, and now it is five thousand, you are playing us, okay, we won't talk nonsense with you, today I will let you see how good I am." ”

Luo Yang looks five big and three thick, he doesn't look like a scholar at all, he is one meter eight tall, and his whole body is full of muscles, this weather, he is only wearing a short sleeve inside, and a coat outside, he has never seen it before, according to Cao Yuanan, he went home to visit relatives some time ago, and he only came back in the past few days.

Luo Yang didn't care, he strode forward directly, and picked up the boss of the factory like a little hen, so frightened that the boss shouted: "What are you going to do?" I don't want to rent it, you guys hurry up and get out of here, I won't rent it to you. ”

Cao Yuanan motioned to Luo Yang to put down the boss, and then said with a smile: "I heard that your eldest wife has gone to Guangdong with a part of her property to join her mother's family, leaving you and your little wife ready to sell the remaining assets, and take everything that can be taken away, and decide not to come back in the future." So the day before yesterday, I came to discuss with you about renting a factory, and you agreed, and yesterday I sold this factory to someone else, is there such a thing? ”

The boss was stunned, he didn't expect Cao Yuan'an to inquire so clearly, and even his own small actions were clearly grasped, so he simply admitted directly: "What's the matter, that person paid a lot more than you, tell me, 10,000 yuan to take my factory, I went to Guangzhou and may not come back, I still suffer a loss when I rent to you, you can rent it, don't rent it down, anyway, that gentleman will come to see the house tomorrow." The boss broke the jar, but finally realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.

Chen Kang understood: "Okay, you told us to deliver the house this weekend, it turned out to be this idea, today to cheat us 5,000 rental fees, tomorrow to cheat that person 10,000 to buy a house, and then you ran away with this money, the little abacus is good." ”

Chen Kang said in one word, which made the boss very flustered, but he was not nervous: "Forget it, since you have seen through it, I won't rent it to you, you guys will fuck me off, and I will sell this house tomorrow." ”

The feeling of being exposed as a lie made the boss very unhappy, but there was no way, this is the truth, in the war years, who knows what will happen if the army in the south fights, and this place is not in the concession, no one can keep it, it is better to sell it as soon as possible and take the money to Guangzhou to develop.

Cao Yuan'an saw that the boss was confident, and he definitely thought that someone would come over tomorrow to buy his factory: "You don't have to wait, you can take a ship to Guangzhou today." ”

Cao Yuanan smiled and saw that the boss didn't plan to pay attention to him, so he continued: "The boss who bought the factory tomorrow won't come over." ”

The boss sneered: "Who are you scaring about, I have made an appointment with him, and the phone has been left, so it's impossible not to buy it." ”

Cao Yuanan took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to the boss: "Is he the one you said you want to buy a factory?" ”

The boss took it casually, glanced at it impatiently, and was about to open his mouth to let Cao Yuanan and his party get out, but when he saw the person in the photo, cold sweat flowed down his forehead: "How can you have a photo of him?" ”

Cao Yuanan waved his hand, then took out another piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to the factory owner, and said, "Not only that, but he also asked me to bring you a manuscript." ”

"It's!" The boss's hand trembled, looking at the handwriting on the note, "How is it possible, if you don't buy it, you won't buy it?" ”

Cao Yuanan said: "He is my friend, you rented the factory to me at the same time, and sold it to him, if he didn't happen to come to the newspaper to find me, I was still kept in the dark by you, do you think there is no reason for him not to buy it?" Or do you think that the good deeds you do will not be exposed? ”

The owner of the factory didn't even believe it, and wanted to call to confirm, and after confirmation, his face was like ashes: "Okay, okay, how much money are you going to pay?" ”

"The price last time, 1,000 yuan." Cao Yuanan raised a finger, "You also know that the war is about to start, it is estimated that you will wait for another month, and you will not be able to rent it out when the war spreads to Shanghai, so we are only willing to pay 1,000 yuan, if you don't rent, we will look at other factories, you might as well wait." ”

The boss saw Cao Yuan'an's cold appearance, and also knew that the factory was not easy to rent now, but he was really reluctant to let him rent out for 1,000 yuan. ”

"Deal." Cao Yuan'an readily agreed, and soon signed the contract, and when the contract was signed, the factory owner realized that he may have been deceived by Cao Yuan'an, maybe the person who bought the house was arranged by him, no wonder it was so coincidental, the day before he just negotiated to rent a house, the next day someone came to buy a house, according to his logic, in another month or two Shanghai fell into war, no one should want to buy his factory. But as soon as the contract was signed, everything was decided, and it was impossible to regret it, so he could only leave with the 1,500 yuan given to him by Cao Yuanan.

After the boss left, Cao Yuan'an, Chen Kang, Luo Yang, and Yan Buwen were left in the factory, and Yan Buwen clapped his hands and said: "Mr. Cao has such a deep strategy, if you don't use this method, I'm afraid that no matter how much you grind, you won't be able to grind it to 1,500 yuan, and you still rent it for a year." ”

As for the person who is going to buy the factory, Cao Yuanan may or may not know, maybe he happened to meet yesterday, or he may not have met at all and only contacted through others, these things are only known to Cao Yuanan, but these things are not important, the important thing is to rent this factory for only 1,500 yuan. I have to say that Yan Buwen really felt Cao Yuan'an's methods.

Cao Yuanan smiled: "A little strategy, not enough to worry about, Xiao Luo, you arrange someone to quickly paint this factory and move the machine over as soon as possible, Xiao Chen, you go and ask when our new machine will arrive." "Now that the sales of newspapers are getting higher and higher, it is no longer just about increasing the number of people, and it is useless if there are not enough machines.

Cao Yuanan told Yan Buwen that with the previous machines, a total of thirty units, Mr. Chen's consent had been obtained, and the money had been paid.

Yan Buwen nodded, judging from the current situation, these machines will not be idle.

Back at the newspaper office, the people in the newspaper office shouted respectfully when they saw Yan Buwen: "Mr. Yan, okay." ”

"Heaven and Dragon Slayer" has reached a new high, if there is no accident, today's circulation will reach 95600, and now is the time for the climax, and it will not be too difficult to break through to 10,000 circulation.

These people are respectful and adore Yan Buwen because they know from the mouths of the old men in the newspaper that in the past, this "Dajiang Bao" was only a small newspaper of about 2,000 yuan, but now it has become a large newspaper with a circulation of more than 9,000 yuan, and Yan Buwen has become a legend, and these people all rely on the increased sales of Yan Buwen's novels to get bonuses, and it is normal to compliment them.

The "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" published in the newspaper has reached the middle stage, and the novel draft in Yan Buwen's hand has reached the late stage, or more than ten days, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" will be completed.

As usual, Yan Buwen went to the Yun'an Teahouse, Lu Yan had already prepared the refreshments and waited for Yan Buwen to come over, and after a few words of greeting, he stepped into the topic, Yan Buwen dictated, Lu Yan handwritten, and after writing 10,000 words, Yan Buwen signaled that it was okay.

Picking up the manuscript and about to get up to say goodbye, Lu Yan said: "Mr. Yan, I have something to do the day after tomorrow, can I ask for a leave, the manuscript of that day will be completed today." ”

Yan Buwen asked Lu Yan to ask for leave: "The day after tomorrow should be Saturday, I happen to have something to do, I will tell Donggua tomorrow, this week is a holiday, you have a good rest, resume next Monday, there are not many drafts left, next time I will try to finish writing in one go." ”

Lu Yan said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Yan." ”
