NOVPUBChen Nan looked at the charming and lovely Xu Lu in his arms with disbelief, "Is all this your idea?"
Xu Lu revealed a mischievous smile, "How could I have such a brain? This plan was discussed last night while chatting with Sister Xiaoyu. It’s her dream!"
Chen Nan was relieved. He hadn’t expected Nie Xiaoyu’s dream to be so grand.
"Rome wasn’t built in a day. We must still proceed steadily and not take steps too large, or we might pull a muscle." Chen Nan said with a smile.
He would certainly help Nie Xiaoyu realize her dream.
However.
The pressing matter was to first secure the businesses of Mi Yu Tea House and Zhen Guo Xuan. Only by gaining a firm foothold in Ningji could he start drawing up other dream blueprints.
Just then.
Chen Nan’s phone suddenly lit up.
After seeing that it was a message from Dai Shouyi’s beautiful secretary, Wu Mei, he couldn’t help but brighten up.
He looked at Xu Lu in his arms and said softly, "Go make the medicine!"
Xu Lu pouted reluctantly, leaving Chen Nan’s embrace and swaying her sexy hips as she entered the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Chen Nan opened the message, which boldly stated: 58 million.
Chen Nan knew this was the bidding price for the plot of land that Lu Anran was eyeing.
As long as the bid she made was closest to this number during the auction, she could secure the piece of land in the west of the city for a golf course.
Thinking of this, he replied to Wu Mei with an emoji of clasped hands.
Soon after, Wu Mei sent another message, "You’d better remember the thing you promised me!"
Seeing this, Chen Nan’s mouth twitched slightly. Previously, he had promised Wu Mei that if she could help secure the land, he would go down on her...
While he didn’t mind going down on others, it depended on the person.
He rather did not want to go down on Wu Mei, after all, she was Dai Shouyi’s mistress.
But.
The promised matter, he would certainly not renege on.
After a brief chat, Chen Nan called Lu Anran and informed her of the bidding price of 58 million.
"What? Only 58 million?" Lu Anran’s voice was full of shock; the price was much lower than she had expected. She thought it would at least be a small target.
Regaining her composure, she fought to contain her excitement and said, "Honey, I’m a bit busy these next two days. Once I’m done, I’ll come to find you, and whatever you want to do, I’m all yours, love you!"
Listening to the voice coming through the phone, Chen Nan also felt a surge of passion.
Although he had numerous confidantes.
The most fun of all was Lu Anran, this top-notch married woman who had just given birth.
She was juicy and tight, especially good at cooperating.
Of course.
The most important point was that if he ever felt tired with her, he could always drink her breast milk to replenish his energy.
This was something the other women could not satisfy him with.
It was for this reason that he agreed to Wu Mei’s request for this plot of land.
Just after hanging up, Chen Nan’s phone rang again, displaying Zhou Long’s number. He answered the call and got straight to the point, "Brother Long, go ahead."
Zhou Long respectfully said, "Mr. Chen, I just sent two brothers to approach the owners of Honey Language Teahouse and Precious Fruit Pavilion. Both of them were very clear that renting their shops would cost at least two million."
Chen Nan gasped, "Damn, are they out to rob people?"
He knew that the shop areas of Honey Language Teahouse and Precious Fruit Pavilion were much larger than "National Tea", but the annual rent for "National Tea" was only about two hundred thousand.
The fact that they asked for two million right off the bat truly shocked him.
Zhou Long said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, don’t get worked up yet. Indeed, two million in rent is expensive, but that two million is not for one year’s rent, it’s for five years."
"As far as I know, the business of these two dessert shops has always been good, of course, the rent is expensive too, about five hundred and fifty thousand a year."
"As a result, half a month ago, the owners of the two shops approached the manager of the commercial street and rented for five years at a rate of four hundred and fifty thousand a year, totaling two million two hundred and fifty thousand."
"They are giving a discount of twenty-five thousand, asking only for two million in rent."
Chen Nan nodded thoughtfully, "This price is already very sincere, relatively speaking."
Zhou Long couldn’t help saying, "Not just very sincere, it’s absolutely brimming with sincerity!"
Chen Nan said, "I feel we can knock a zero off that two million."
Pfft!
Zhou Long on the other end of the phone nearly spurted out old blood, "Mr. Chen, you can’t be joking, right? With such good locations and storefronts, how could they possibly transfer them to someone else for two hundred thousand?"
At this point, he paused and asked cautiously, "Are you suggesting that we force them to transfer to us for two hundred thousand?"
Chen Nan was amused, "Big Brother Long, you’re hilarious. If we were really going to use intimidation, why would we give them two hundred thousand?"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Long was utterly confused.
Chen Nan instructed, "Here’s what you do then, send those two brothers to talk to the owners of Honey Language Teahouse and Precious Fruit Pavilion again, and propose a deal of two hundred thousand for one year’s rent, payable annually."
"Leave the rest to me, I guarantee we will secure the use of those two shops for five years at the price of two hundred thousand."
"Alright, I’ll send the brothers over once more," Though Zhou Long couldn’t fathom what Chen Nan was planning, he chose to trust him.
Because he knew all too well that Chen Nan had many tricks up his sleeve.
Even if Chen Nan said a sow could climb a tree, he would believe it without question.
After ending the call with Zhou Long, Chen Nan took out the solid gold business card given to him by Qian Feng and dialed the number on it.
A moment later.
The phone was picked up, and Qian Feng’s authoritative voice came through, "Who’s this?"
Chen Nan got straight to the point, "Hello Mr. Qian, this is Chen Nan."
A brief silence ensued on the other end, followed by Qian Feng’s voice filled with nervousness and excitement, "I’m sorry Mr. Chen, I don’t have your number, please forgive my rudeness."
"What can I do for you?"
Chen Nan casually said, "Mr. Qian, there’s no need to be nervous. I’m calling because I need a favor from you."
Qian Feng replied, flattered, "Mr. Chen, you’re too kind. It’s an honor for me to serve you. Please just give your instructions, and I will exhaust every effort unto death."
Chen Nan explained, "The thing is, I’m interested in the Honey Language Teahouse and Precious Fruit Pavilion shops on the commercial street. It so happens they are up for transfer, but the price they’re asking is not to my satisfaction."
Qian Feng responded anxiously, "I heard about those two dessert shops before; they seemed to have caused you trouble, didn’t they?"
Chen Nan chuckled, "Business is like a battlefield, I’m sure Mr. Qian understands the perils of the business world better than I do."
Qian Feng hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, rest assured, I know what to do. I guarantee the owners of both shops will be more than willing to transfer those prime locations to you."
Chen Nan’s lips curled into a meaningful smile, "Then I shall await the good news from Mr. Qian!"
