Chapter 292: Negotiating a shop in a prime location
Yan Tielong took the Night Star Ruosi and Mad Igangde to Xigu Street, which leads directly to the main road of the West Gate, and they looked in front of the Polestar Defense Armor Shop, which had been smashed by a large stone with a diameter of three meters.
"This land is less than 100 meters away from the West Gate, no wonder it will be hit by a boulder, but in the future, if the adventurers of Guyu Town want to go to the ruins of the Xingyu God to adventure, then they will have to pass through here, and this shop will definitely be a treasure land in the future!" Yan Tielong looked at the shop in front of him that was smashed by the big stone and became more and more satisfied.
Night Star Ruosi was also very satisfied with the lot in front of him, but he was worried that the owner of this shop would open his mouth and said, "Captain, the location is indeed very good, but judging from the information of Brother Kemidis, the price of this section of land may be quite high!"
Yan Tielong heard Ye Xing Ruosi's worried words, but he didn't care and said, "The owner of this piece of land will indeed pay a high price, but he can't pay a high price of 100,000 gold coins!"
"Chief, it's hard to say! After all, the owner of this lot hasn't sold it for two months in a row!" said Nightstar Ruos.
Yan Tielong also began to worry when he heard the words of Night Star Ruosi, after all, it was impossible for him to be the only person with vision, and he had not sold it for two consecutive months, which showed that the person who owned the rank star defense armor shop was not satisfied with the price of the person who came to buy his shop, otherwise he would have been bought by someone a long time ago.
After looking at Yan Tielong, he took the Night Star Ruosi and Mad Igangde to the house of the owner of the shop with the Pole Star Defense Armor.
It's just that when Yan Tielong and the others came to their destination, they thought that they had come to the wrong place, because the dilapidated thatched hut in front of Yan Tielong and them was where the owner of the Polestar Armor Shop lived, which was completely different from what Yan Tielong and they believed.
Yan Tielong went to the door of the thatched hut and knocked on the door a few times: knock knock.
"Who are you?".
Yan Tielong looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was unkempt, the cloth clothes on his body were tattered, and he looked guarded, and asked, "Excuse me, are you His Excellency Ma De Zhong Likai?"
"I'm Ma De Zhong Likai, what are you looking for me?"
Yan Tielong looked at the more vigilant Ma De Zhong Likai to introduce himself and Dao Ming: "My name is Yan Tielong, I am the leader of the Holy Tattoo Mercenary Group, I saw that you posted the information of the shop for sale in the Green Feather Qian Tavern, but your store did not indicate the price, so I asked you how much price you are willing to ask for before you are willing to sell?"
Ma De Zhong Likai heard that Yan Tielong was here to buy his shop, and he changed from guard to very polite and said: "Everyone, it's not convenient to discuss outside, come and ask you to come into the house." ”。
Yan Tielong and the others were introduced to the thatched house by Ma De Zhong Likai, but the thatched house was very messy, almost covered by wine bottles, and there was almost no place to put their feet.
Ma De Zhong Likai saw that there was no place for his feet in the house, and he was a little embarrassed and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'll clean it up first." ”。
When Ma De Zhong Likai cleaned up and got out of bed, he asked Yan Tielong and them to sit on the edge of the bed, and then directly asked Yan Tielong how much he was willing to pay for his shop.
Before Yan Tielong could make an offer, Night Star Ruosi asked Ma De Zhong Likai if he could see if he had the title deed of the Pole Star Defense Armor Shop, after all, the current Ma De Zhong Likai was too shabby in his clothes.
Regarding the request of Night Star Ruosi, Ma Dezhong Likai refused directly without thinking about it, he was worried that Yan Tielong would snatch the title deed of his shop.
Yan Tielong had no way to distrust Ma De Zhong Likai, so he proposed what to do to make Ma De Zhong Likai a regular buyer, not a lawbreaker who wanted to snatch the land deed.
Ma De Zhong Likai hopes to negotiate the price first, and when the price is negotiated, he will take the shop property to the Governor's Palace for delivery.
Yan Tielong had no choice but to ask the other party how much he was willing to sell at what price, and Ma De Zhong Likai directly stretched out his palm and said, "This number!"
Seeing Ma De Zhong Likai's five fingers, Night Star Ruosi said: "Five thousand gold coins, this number is a bit high for now, but it is acceptable." ”。
It's a pity that Ma De Zhong Likai shook his head directly, and the night star Ruosi asked in disbelief: "Your Excellency Ma De Zhong Likai, should you ask for 50,000 gold coins?"
Seeing Ma De Zhong Likai nodded, Night Star Ruosi couldn't help but say to Yan Tielong: "Commander, we should go, this guy has no sincerity to sell his piece of land at all!"
And Crazy Yigangde was also given a big jump by the number reported by the other party, and at the same time felt that the other party was not sincere at all, so he agreed with the words of the night star Ruosi: "Leader, let's go, this guy is crazy about money!"
Yan Tielong heard the words of the group members, and also got up and walked towards the door, after all, the other party's lion opened his mouth with no sincerity at all.
Ma De Zhong Likai saw that several people were leaving, he hurriedly blocked the door of the house and said to Yan Tielong: "Your Excellencies, please wait! If you feel that the price is not satisfied, can you negotiate!"
Yan Tielong looked at Ma De Zhong Likai, and before he could speak, Night Star Ruosi said in a tone full of disappointment: "Your Excellency Ma De Zhong Likai, you don't have any sincerity at all, you must know that with 50,000 gold coins, we can buy a good shop in the bustling street of the Platinum Fortress."
And Guyu Town was almost breached by Greenskin, and now a large number of townspeople have sold their properties, maybe we will wait a while for someone to sell a better lot than the shop you own!"
When Ma De Zhong Likai heard the words of the night star Ruosi, he looked at Yan Tielong, and when he found that Yan Tielong was expressionless, he knew that there was still something to talk about, so he smiled and said: "Your Excellency, according to the current situation in Guyu Town, 50,000 gold coins is indeed very high, but don't you want to think about why I want to open such a high price?"
Yan Tielong and Night Star Ruosi heard what Ma De Zhong Likai said, they glanced at each other, they looked at each other with surprise and worry in their eyes, so Yan Tielong, who was quick and calm, asked: "Your Excellency Ma De Zhong Likai, then you can tell me why you quoted such a high price!"
Ma De Zhong Likai heard that Yan Tielong agreed with his explanation, so he took out a wooden box from the foot of a wall full of garbage and put it in front of Yan Tielong and said, "Your Excellency, this is the status of my business-grade Star Defense Armor Shop.
After you read it, you will understand why I am charging such a high price. ”。
When the night star Ruosi heard Ma De Zhong Likai's words, he showed a very interested expression, after all, the business situation of the merchant could be seen from the method of bookkeeping.
Yan Tielong was also very curious, and he also picked up a 1160 year ledger and looked at it, and when he finished reading the contents, he showed a surprised expression, because the net profit of the Polestar Defense Armor Shop after paying all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in a year was actually as high as 1,000 gold coins.
You must know that in 1160, Guyu Town was still Guyu Village, at that time, the scale was small and pitiful, and it was very dangerous, and it would be attacked by the green skin at any time, and doing business at that time was not as safe and simple as it is now.
And Yan Tielong once heard the older generation of Gu Yu Town say that at that time, Gu Yu Village had to evacuate to the Fortress of Platinum for refuge every few months because of the green skin, and only returned after the fortress legion sent troops to exterminate it, and then Gu Yu Village had a fixed scale and built a defensive wall, and only three to four years after the scale of the greenskin invasion took refuge in the Fortress of Platinum, and in such a difficult period, he could still get a net profit of 1000 gold coins, and he thought of how profitable this shop was now.
Then Yan Tielong looked at the account book of 1170 again, and he found that the net profit of this store was as high as more than 8,000 gold coins, with such a high profit, Yan Tielong wondered that even if Ma De Zhong Likai's store was destroyed, he should have enough capital to rebuild it, why sell it.
Just when Yan Tielong wanted to ask Ma De Zhong Likai why he wanted to sell the land of the shop, Yexing Ruosi asked directly: "Your Excellency Ma De Zhong Likai, with your high profits, you should have a lot of money to reopen the shop, why do you want to sell the shop?"
Ma De Zhong Likai heard the Night Star Ruosi ask, he picked up a bottle of wine and took a sip and recalled: "Since the greenskin trebuchet destroyed my shop, I sold the mansion of the Platinum Fortress to raise nearly 10,000 gold coins to buy a batch of new armor, planning to make a comeback.
But my most trusted partner actually sold me the defective product as a good armor, and the value of those goods was not even 100 gold coins, which caused me to be cheated out of nearly 10,000 gold coins by him, in order to raise funds, I entered the casino, and as a result, I even lost my home in Guyu Town, if it wasn't for my wife and children leaving me, I would even lose the title deed of the store! ”。
Yan Tielong heard the deep remorse in Ma De Zhong Likai's tone, and he muttered a few words to Night Star Ruosi, and the meaning of a few words was to agree that the other party would buy the other party's shop for 50,000, anyway, it would come soon with the 100,000 gold coins of Tianyu Academy.
And after listening to Yan Tielong's words, Night Star Ruosi frowned and whispered: "Leader, the account book can be faked, and the story can also be made up, it's too much of a loss to buy that store with 50,000 gold coins, why don't you give it to me?"
Yan Tielong nodded when he heard Night Star Ruosi's proposal, after all, he could have less, and he could also reduce his own losses, so Night Star Ruosi began to bargain with Ma De Zhong Likai, and finally reached an agreement with 38,000 gold coins.
"Your Excellency Ma De Zhong Likai, then let's go and prepare the money first, and wait for the meeting at the Governor's Palace. Yan Tielong and the three of them said goodbye at the door of the thatched house.
Ma Dezhong Likai promised: "Your Excellency Yan Tielong, please rest assured, I will definitely arrive on time!"
