I, reborn, really don't want to be a matchmaker!

Chapter 40 Who is the real sucker?

"Thirty thousand? Your breakfast shop looks like a ghost town, I don't think it's even worth three thousand." Wang Xiaoli retorted.

"Eight hundred at most, we won't take a penny more," Li Mei couldn't help but say, revealing her ideal price.

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen was so angry he felt like vomiting blood: "The valuable part of my breakfast shop isn't the breakfast shop itself, but the building and the land."

"I spent almost ten thousand just building the premises to open this shop, and you're offering only eight hundred? Are you kidding me?"

"Are you sure you built this house?" Qin Chaoyang asked, quite surprised.

"Of course," Cao Zhen replied confidently.

"Then show me your relevant documents." Qin Chaoyang extended his right hand.

"Fine, I'll take it. You just wait here." Cao Zhen turned and walked into the breakfast shop.

Upon seeing this, several employees demanding their wages followed behind like shadows.

Qin Chaoyang smiled as he watched this scene, then chatted quietly with Wang Xiaoli and Li Mei.

Just when everyone thought Cao Zhen wouldn't be able to produce the relevant documents, surprisingly, a few minutes later, Cao Zhen brought out a bundle of documents, along with the original permits and approvals for building the house.

Qin Chaoyang carefully examined the documents and permits, and seeing that they were all genuine and complete, he said seriously to Cao Zhen, "Even if the breakfast shop's building and land are yours, in my opinion, it's not worth 30,000."

It's definitely not worth that much in 1988.

After all, 30,000 is no small amount; decades later, it would be equivalent to several million or even tens of millions.

"So how much do you think it's worth?" Cao Zhen asked.

"Well..." Qin Chaoyang looked at Wang Xiaoli: "You're very knowledgeable about real estate values, tell me your opinion."

In fact, Wang Xiaoli is not good at it at all.

Qin Chaoyang's purpose in saying this.

It's obvious they want to lower the price.

Wang Xiaoli understood, and she said, "The land for building houses on Jiefang Road Main Street could be applied for for free by any local villager. They only needed to pay a few yuan in processing fees."

"In other words, the land itself won't cost much."

"As for building the house, the area of ​​the breakfast shop plus the backyard and storage room does not exceed 200 square meters."

"The cost of building a 200-square-meter red brick house, even including decoration, would not have exceeded 5,000 in 1988..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Zhen angrily interrupted him: "Don't talk nonsense! From the construction of the new building to the subsequent renovations, I spent nearly ten thousand yuan on this breakfast shop!"

"Then you dare to ask me for 30,000?" Qin Chaoyang laughed.

"Why wouldn't you dare to take it? The property prices and land prices in this area of ​​Jiefang Road and Zhengjie Street have both gone up," Cao Zhen replied.

"The price has indeed gone up. Then you can go find a sucker to take the fall! I'm not going to be that sucker." Qin Chaoyang patted the fallen leaves off his clothes and left with Wang Xiaoli and Li Mei.

go.

It's a strategy.

After all, it's such a big breakfast shop.

It's impossible to agree on an acquisition price right away.

But Cao Zhen panicked and rushed forward to grab Qin Chaoyang: "Boss Qin, don't go! We can talk about the price properly, just let me lose less money."

"You said it yourself." Qin Chaoyang looked at Cao Zhen: "I just did a mental calculation of your breakfast shop, and it's worth at most five thousand."

"Don't feel like you've lost out. The breakfast shop I have by the Dayu River only cost me 1,500 yuan back then, and that place is much bigger than yours."

"But this is Jiefang Road, the main street. How can it compare to the Dayu River?" Cao Zhen said with a mournful face.

"It's incomparable, so I'll offer five thousand!" Qin Chaoyang said with a smile.

"I think five thousand is too much." Wang Xiaoli frowned and reminded him, "If we really want to open a breakfast shop on Jiefang Road, we can buy a house in other areas. I estimate that we can get one for a maximum of three thousand, and the area will be bigger than Boss Cao's breakfast shop."

That makes a lot of sense. After all, in 1988, houses along Jiefang Road were practically worthless, and nobody wanted to buy them.

So Cao Zhen wanted to refute, but after opening his mouth, he couldn't utter a single word.

Finally, having no other choice, he pleaded with Qin Chaoyang, "Five thousand yuan is really too low, could you add a little more?"

"I can't add any more." Qin Chaoyang looked at Cao Zhen: "I only have about five thousand in my savings account, that's all I have."

"After we sign the transfer agreement, can you pay in full at once?" Cao Zhen asked Qin Chaoyang after gritting his teeth.

"This..." Qin Chaoyang looked at Wang Xiaoli.

"Paying in one lump sum is a bit difficult; you'll need at least two or three days," Wang Xiaoli replied.

After all, there are so many places to spend money these days! It's impossible for her, as the accountant, to give all the money to Cao Zhen.

But if it's delayed by two or three days, the situation will be quite different.

"Then I'll wait for you for three days." Cao Zhen glanced at the time on his watch: "We'll sign the transfer agreement in three days."

"Okay." Qin Chaoyang nodded.

Just in case.

He used a virtual pop-up window to view Cao Zhen's personal information.

……

It was reading Cao Zhen's personal information.

Qin Chaoyang was delighted.

There were some things I hadn't expected.

Cao Zhen will encounter a carefully designed "pig butchering scam" by Ma Zhengqin this year.

In other words, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Cao Zhen's current urgent need for money most likely indicates that he has partnered with Huo Zhenzhong and Zhuang Biyan to jointly purchase the Hongxing Restaurant.

Otherwise...

It's impossible to rush into selling the entire breakfast shop.

Instead, they would sublet the properties and live off the rent, becoming landlords.

Thinking of this, Qin Chaoyang gave Wang Xiaoli and Li Mei a wink, then turned and walked towards the Dayu River.

The three of them hadn't gone five meters when they unexpectedly ran into Huo Zhenzhong and Huo Longquan, who were riding in a Santana.

Logically speaking, Qin Chaoyang has already left Xiao Wu Hunan Cuisine Restaurant and has no further connection with Huo Zhenzhong and Huo Longquan.

But Huo Zhenzhong had the driver stop the Santana, then rolled down the window: "Oh! What a coincidence! Xiao Qin."

"Yes, it is quite a coincidence." Qin Chaoyang nodded.

"What are you doing here?" Huo Zhenzhong asked.

"Let's talk business," Qin Chaoyang said dismissively.

"What kind of business?" Huo Zhenzhong asked curiously.

Qin Chaoyang didn't answer and was about to make an excuse to leave when Cao Zhen came running over excitedly: "Boss Huo, you've finally arrived."

"I've just finalized the deal with Boss Qin. The breakfast shop will be transferred to him for 5,000 yuan in three days."

"I'll transfer the money to you as soon as I get it."

"What did you say?" Huo Zhenzhong was taken aback and then burst out laughing.

Huo Longquan also said with a mocking expression, "Boss Qin is really rich. That boss from Quanzhou was only willing to offer four thousand to buy Boss Cao's breakfast shop!"

"You're really sucking up by offering five thousand."

"Really?" Qin Chaoyang wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Thank you for telling me this inside story. I haven't signed a contract with Boss Cao yet, so... I don't want the breakfast shop anymore. I'm not going to be a sucker."

"Xiaoli, Limei, let's go!"

Huo Longquan: "..."

Huo Zhenzhong: "..."

Cao Zhen: "..."
