Chapter 265: Congratulations to the Second Young Master, you've picked up a great bargain
"35 million..."
Sitting across from him, Hai Laosi muttered the figure and suddenly laughed.
"You really dare to open your mouth wide like a lion, eh."
Chen Fan's face turned pale with anger.
"This price, I'm already taking a huge loss."
"Don't forget that the club has just started to become popular. Now is the time when it's making the most money."
"You're basically buying out the golden goose that's laying eggs for me."
Hai Laosi shook his head.
"That's still too high. Lower it a bit more."
Chen Fan stared at him coldly.
"This club is my heart's work, and initially I invested all my savings and effort into it."
"Just for building the entire venue, I spent several million. The later renovation and equipment purchases cost me a few more million."
"Before the opening, I had already invested close to 10 million..."
"Now the club is at its peak popularity, with a monthly turnover of several hundred thousand."
"Even if we just calculate based on a profit of seven hundred thousand per month, you'll earn back over 8 million in just one year."
"It would only take two or three years for you to earn back all the money..."
In fact, Chen Fan didn't really spend much on renovating the venue. The biggest expense was buying this plot of land for the amusement park.
The construction of the club was almost entirely based on renovating and improving the original amusement park facilities, especially those few venues which were built by renovating the existing structures.
The truth was that the entire construction of the club cost less than 2 million.
But the other party didn't know these secrets, so naturally Chen Fan was going to exaggerate as much as possible.
Chen Fan became more and more agitated as he spoke, eventually slamming the table and leaning forward to stare intensely at Hai Laosi.
"Excluding the costs, I'm only asking for two years' worth of your business revenue. Do you think that's expensive?"
"If you guys keep pushing me, I'll just put the club up for sale directly. Even if I ask for 40 million, there will still be plenty of interested buyers, do you believe me or not?"
Hai Laosi narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "Even if you dare to put it up for sale, someone still has to dare to buy it."
Chen Fan didn't back down at all and sneered coldly.
"If you really push me into a corner, at worst it'll be a case of the fish dying and the net breaking. We'll just see if anyone is interested then."
"I don't believe you can cover the sky with one hand."
Hai Laosi's expression darkened.
He stared fixedly at Chen Fan for two seconds, then suddenly changed his expression and laughed loudly.
"Haha, don't get angry. In business, we should negotiate."
"Alright, let me think it over. You have some tea first, I'll go to the restroom."
After saying that, Hai Laosi stood up and didn't forget to give his subordinate a signal.
"Take good care of Brother Chen."
Sitting there watching this guy rush out of the private room, Chen Fan sneered inwardly.
He guessed that Hai Laosi was probably going to make a secret phone call now.
He couldn't make the decision on this price himself, so naturally he had to contact the person behind him.
It was just unknown whether that was Zhao Longqi or the Zhao family.
Hai Laosi was gone for around ten minutes before returning with a smile.
"Ah, Brother Chen, my apologies for making you wait so long."
"About what you said earlier, I thought it over carefully and I think there's some reason to it. But..."
"The asking price of 35 million is still too high..."
Hai Laosi smiled at Chen Fan. "Don't get upset first, let me propose a price. See if you can accept it."
"20 million. As long as you agree, we can sign the contract today."
Bang!
Chen Fan suddenly slammed the table and stood up angrily.
"That's an insult. 20 million is simply an insult to me."
"If you're not sincere, I'd rather not sell."
Seeing Chen Fan get angry, Hai Laosi didn't get mad either and smiled as he spoke.
"Don't be impulsive. I advise you to consider it carefully."
"If you don't sell, then this club of yours will just become a bad investment."
Chen Fan sneered coldly, "If you push me to the edge, I'll put it up for sale tomorrow."
Hai Laosi said indifferently, "I'll say it again, without my approval, I want to see who dares to take over your club."
Chen Fan glared at him, enunciating each word.
"Don't forget. It's not only Yunhai that has companies, I can go to other cities to find partners. I believe with the potential of this club, there will definitely be companies interested..."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Hai Laosi's eyes flickered as he threatened coldly, "Then I want to see if they dare to make a move."
"Brother Chen, I am negotiating with you sincerely here. If you choose to be completely defiant, it's very likely you'll both end up losing. You'd better think carefully."
Chen Fan had an angry and helpless expression, angrily taking a few deep breaths.
Finally, he gritted his teeth.
"In any case, I absolutely cannot accept 20 million."
"If you really want to buy, I can make some concessions. 30 million. That's my bottom line."
Hai Laosi said indifferently, "25 million."
Chen Fan glared at him, "29 million. I can't go any lower."
Hai Laosi acted as if he had gained the upper hand over Chen Fan, smiling as he continued to bargain down the price.
"26 million."
"You..."
Hai Laosi directly cut off Chen Fan's words.
"I can tell you, this is my final offer. If you don't agree, we'll just see what happens..."
Chen Fan opened his mouth as if wanting to say some harsh words, but in the end he didn't say anything and slumped powerlessly into the chair.
After being silent for about a minute, Chen Fan finally spoke weakly.
"26 million...but I have one condition."
"It must be transferred in one lump sum. I don't trust you."
Finally, a smile appeared on Hai Laosi's face.
"Haha, of course no problem."
"Brother Chen, congratulations on making the correct choice."
Chen Fan stood up, his face unsightly.
"When will we sign the contract?"
"Naturally, the sooner the better."
"Tomorrow. I'll bring the contract over tomorrow. At that time, I must see the money transferred into my company's account before I sign."
Hai Laosi smiled and nodded.
"No problem."
Chen Fan looked at him deeply, snorted coldly, and left without turning back.
After Chen Fan slammed the door shut, Hai Laosi laughed heartily.
He took out his phone and made a call.
"Second Young Master, it's done."
"Haha, this kid didn't dare to keep defying us to the end."
"The final price is 26 million, 9 million less than his asking price."
"Congratulations to the Second Young Master, this is really a golden goose. Just one or two years and you'll earn all that money back."
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Longqi hung up and finally showed a smug smile.
"Chen Fan, Chen Fan, you probably don't know who exactly took your club away yet."
"Heh, I can't wait to see your expression when you find out the truth."
Zhao Longqi hummed a tune as he went upstairs to the study and pushed the door open.
"Dad, give me some money."
In the study, a middle-aged man with graying hair was practicing calligraphy.
Hearing this, he frowned.
"How many times have I told you to knock before entering the study? You're always so uncouth."
Zhao Longqi ignored this and excitedly walked over.
"Dad, I really need some money."
"Didn't I just give you living expenses a few days ago? You've spent it all again?"
"Not living expenses, I bought a club."
"You're always saying I just mess around aimlessly, unlike my older brother who has no ambition. Right?"
"This time, let me show you that I do have talent for doing business."
