Chapter 117: What Is the Final Offer?
The madam was dazed.
Even the man lying on the sofa across from her smoking suddenly sat up.
"You said you want to buy this amusement park?"
Chen Fan shook his head.
"Not just the amusement park, I plan to buy the land your amusement park is on as well."
"Young man, what do you do for work?"
Chen Fan smiled, "Why? Do you need to investigate someone's household registration to do business now?"
The boss puffed out a smoke ring.
"No, it's not that. I just want to remind you, do you know how much this place of mine costs?"
Chen Fan pointed at the madam next to him.
"Didn't I just ask her about that?"
The boss held up five fingers.
"5 million."
"Hand over 5 million, and this place is yours."
Chen Fan laughed, his expression not looking too good.
"Boss, I came here sincerely to discuss business with you. If you think I'm young and easy to fool, then there's no point in continuing this discussion."
"Just a few days ago she told me this place was selling for 4 million."
"I don't trust people who do business like you. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Chen Fan turned to leave.
Seeing this situation, the boss suddenly became a bit flustered.
He hurriedly gave his wife a look.
The woman quickly went after him.
"Little brother, don't go, don't go yet. Let's talk some more."
Chen Fan stopped, his tone unpleasant.
"What's there to talk about?"
"Heh heh, my husband was just joking with you earlier."
"We really are selling this place for 4 million."
"I want to ask, are you really interested in buying this place?"
Chen Fan said indifferently, "If I didn't really want to buy it, would I have come here to mess around?"
Seeing Chen Fan's unpleasant tone, the woman didn't get angry, but instead became even more excited.
Because in her perception, rich scions all had this kind of temperament.
"So, are you willing to spend 4 million to buy this place?"
Chen Fan sneered.
"Do you really think I'm stupid?"
"Spend 4 million to buy this run-down place, I'd have to be brain-damaged by a donkey's kick."
The madam's expression froze, her face not looking too good.
"Then what do you mean?"
Chen Fan took out a cigarette, lit one up and put it in his mouth, acting arrogantly old-fashioned.
"In business, honesty is important. Let's not waste words, you just give me a reasonable price."
The woman was a bit troubled and subconsciously looked at her husband.
That boss walked over.
"Do you really want to buy it?"
Seeing Chen Fan's cold smile, the boss pondered for two seconds.
Finally, he said, "Alright, if you're serious about buying, 3.8 million. That's my greatest sincerity."
He then made a show of sighing, "This place was my parents' lifelong hard work."
"Now my dad has passed away, and my mom is hospitalized with a serious illness. If it weren't to pay for her treatment, I wouldn't sell this place."
Chen Fan laughed.
If Fang Ling hadn't told him in advance that this boss had failed at starting a business and owed too much money, he might have really been fooled by this performance.
"Too expensive."
The boss was stunned and looked at Chen Fan.
"3.75 million."
Chen Fan still shook his head.
"Too expensive."
"Boss, you're not being reasonable."
"Look for yourself, what condition is your amusement park in?"
"The equipment is severely outdated, there are hardly any visitors every day...plus this remote location, no one is willing to come here to spend money..."
The boss was a bit embarrassed by being told this.
"Okay. Then you say, what price is appropriate?"
Chen Fan held up two fingers.
"2 million."
"Hey, did you come here to make trouble?"
The boss glared, almost getting physical with Chen Fan.
"2 million, you really dare say that."
"Do you know how much just the equipment cost when this amusement park first opened?"
Chen Fan shook his head.
"Talking about the past is meaningless, you should look more at the present..."
The boss paused for a moment, then shook his head.
"Regardless, 2 million is impossible."
"If you're really sincere about buying, I can lower it by another 50,000 to 3.7 million."
"This is my bottom line. If you want to buy, we can continue discussing. If not, then I can only send you off."
Chen Fan nodded.
"Alright, you think about it some more."
"Boss, don't blame me for not reminding you, you've had that transfer notice posted for a while now, right?"
"How many people have come and asked about the price?"
"Opportunities can sometimes slip away in an instant, you must seize them."
Chen Fan took out a slip of paper from his pocket.
"This is my phone number. If you come to your senses, you can contact me anytime."
"Of course, I hope you can contact me sooner rather than later, because I have many choices. There's more than just your place transferring in the west city..."
Upon hearing this, the man's expression instantly wavered, showing a hint of panic.
Chen Fan left his number and turned to leave.
Discussing business with this kind of person, it's impossible to reach a deal in one go.
He could only dangle it in front of the other party first, then slowly grind them down.
Since the other party owed money outside, Chen Fan believed it wouldn't take long before they would take the initiative to contact him.
Instead of going straight back to school from the west city, Chen Fan went to the city center and found a law firm.
Chen Fan said he would be discussing a business deal with someone in a couple days and signing a contract, and he hoped to have a lawyer present as a witness.
Soon, a middle-aged lawyer came out to meet with Chen Fan.
Chen Fan briefly explained the situation, and they exchanged contact information, agreeing to get in touch when the time came.
The amusement park boss contacted Chen Fan sooner than Chen Fan had expected.
After just two days, he called hoping to have a meal with Chen Fan and chat.
Chen Fan said over the phone that he was busy, so they could skip the meal but meet up to chat.
The two parties agreed to meet at a cafe in the city center.
When Chen Fan arrived, the boss couple was already there.
Chen Fan waved over a server.
"Three cups of your most expensive coffee here, and one dessert as well."
"Certainly, please wait a moment."
Seeing Chen Fan's imposing manner and demeanor, they became even more convinced he must be from a wealthy family.
The couple was inwardly excited, feeling they had a chance.
In the ensuing conversation, the couple changed from their previous skepticism and arrogance. Their attitude toward Chen Fan had clearly improved.
This meeting mainly discussed the price again.
The two sides went back and forth, probing each other's bottom lines.
The boss couple insisted the lowest was 3.5 million.
While Chen Fan stuck to his highest of only 2.3 million.
In the end, this meeting ended without success.
But over the next few days, the two sides met several more times.
The boss's bottom line dropped from 3.5 million to 3.25 million.
While Chen Fan's opening price gradually rose to 2.7 million.
This weekend, the other party took the initiative to invite Chen Fan to meet again.
Chen Fan estimated it was about time to reach a conclusion with them.
When he went, Chen Fan's estimated price range was between 3.1 million to 3 million.
But upon arriving and seeing only the male boss sitting there alone,
with an extremely anxious and tense expression on his face,
Chen Fan immediately realized something had changed.
This boss was probably being pressed for debts, which is why he was so eager to meet.
In that case, the price could potentially be pressed down even further.
So as soon as he took a seat, Chen Fan got straight to the point.
"Mr. Huang, we've met four or five times already and neither of us can convince the other."
"All of our time is precious, I hope this is the last time."
"If we can't reach a deal, then I'll have to give up and look elsewhere..."
Upon hearing this, the boss immediately panicked.
"No, no, Mr. Chen Fan, don't be hasty, we can discuss it, we can discuss it..."
Chen Fan looked up at him.
"So what is your final price?"
