Chapter 231: Chapter 134 Are You Trying to Take Advantage of Me Again? _3

Moreover, looking at the transfer price, it will be even lower.Taking over would be very appropriate.

As for the already tarnished reputation, Xu Musen actually had a way to turn it around.

It's not yet certain who will be the unlucky one.

"I do feel like I should be quite lucky to pick up such a steal."

Xu Musen said with a smile, "Shall we go, can I treat you to a milk tea?"

"Forget it."

Zhu Yulan rolled her eyes. If it were a milk tea made by Xu Musen's own shop, she might have had some.

This shop she truly dared not enter.

Xu Musen went straight to the entrance of the milk tea shop, looked at the owner lounging and playing with his phone inside, and saw that business really wasn't bustling.

"Boss."

"Hmm? What would you like to order?" The owner opened his eyes and looked up.

Xu Musen took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to him: "I'm here to discuss the matter of the shop transfer with you."

"You?"

Hope flashed in the owner's eyes, thinking that he could finally get rid of this hot potato, but seeing how young Xu Musen was, he grew a bit skeptical.

"Is there a problem?"

Xu Musen smiled, subtly flashing his Rolex watch.

Zhu Yulan was standing not too far behind Xu Musen.

This young man he did not recognize, but Zhu Yulan was known to everyone on this street.

She drove a Ferrari every day and had even started a recruitment company—the very picture of a rich second-generation squandering her wealth on whims.

Suddenly, when he looked at Xu Musen, it was as if he saw a juicy piece of meat.

The money of the rich second generation is the easiest to swindle!

"Of course, there's no problem. You see the location of my shop, at the crossroads, where the foot traffic is heaviest, and the space isn't small either. Every evening there's a queue, and today it's just because it's the weekend, and everyone is out from school; on regular days the business is booming."

The owner perked up, praising his shop to the skies.

Such a smooth talker, really telling some shameless lies—truly the mark of an unscrupulous business owner.

Xu Musen wasn't going to be polite with him either.

He said cheerfully, "If business is so good, why think about subletting it?"

The owner coughed dryly, then let out a long sigh, "It's because my son is getting married, and we urgently need money at home. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the heart to sublet!"

Xu Musen nodded thoughtfully, "Then how much are you planning to ask for the transfer fee?"

"I see you're also a university student entrepreneur, we both have it tough. If it were someone else, I wouldn't let it go for less than two hundred thousand, but for you, I only want one hundred and eighty-eight thousand, how about that?"

The owner started his pitch, and Xu Musen thought to himself that this guy was really black-hearted.

Fudan University might be slightly better than Hu Hai University, but when it comes to on-campus entrepreneurship, they're not much different.

He had taken over everything including all the equipment for just one hundred thousand.

And now you're opening your mouth for one hundred and eighty-eight thousand?

You're not looking for a university student, you're looking for a sucker, right?

"That's too expensive," he said.

"Then I'll lower it further for you, one hundred and fifty thousand, how about that for refreshing?"

"I can't make one hundred and fifty thousand work either, any lower?"

"Then one hundred and thirty thousand, I really can't go any lower than that."

The owner was now eager to get the shop off his hands, as his business was losing more money with each day it operated.

Xu Musen said unhurriedly, "Boss, let me be honest with you too, I also applied for an entrepreneurship loan fund, I don't have much money on hand, and the funds won't be approved for at least another month. How about I observe for one more month?"

The owner panicked upon hearing this, his lousy shop had been doing worse and worse, even keeping it afloat for another month seemed impossible, let alone a week—it was all being laid bare!

He hastily spoke up, "Don't rush, don't rush, how much do you have on you right now?"

"Just about fifty or sixty thousand," Xu Musen lied without batting an eyelid.

"Fifty or sixty thousand… that's a bit too low," he said.

The owner frowned at this price, to be honest, it was definitely a loss.

Even though this shop had been losing money all along.

"How about adding a bit more?"

"I can maybe borrow a bit more, at most seventy thousand, but I can give you cash, and we sign the contract immediately, how about that?"

The owner really wanted to say whether this guy was a second-generation rich kid or not, fussing over a few tens of thousands of yuan, honestly, seventy thousand was a bit of a loss as well.

But continuing like this, he might end up without even that amount.

Finally, a sucker came along ready to take over; the sooner he could get rid of it, the sooner he could stop worrying.

With a final grit of his teeth and a stamp of his foot, he said, "Alright, alright, seventy thousand it is, but you said cash!"

Xu Musen looked at him, but he couldn't help laughing inside, "What about the money for your son's wedding?"

"A true man doesn't worry about finding a wife; sons and grandsons will be blessed by their own destiny!"

The owner was eager, couldn't wait to take the money and go.

Damn it, I've seen plenty of dutiful sons but this is my first time witnessing a dutiful father.

"Oh right, I have one more condition, leave the equipment in the shop for me as well, I'll add another three thousand for you."

"Three thousand? No way, no way."

The owner shook his head constantly, these pieces of equipment could sell for well over ten thousand when sold.

"Then we have a problem, that's all the money I have; if I can't afford the equipment, what's the point of opening a shop?"

Xu Musen shook his head, as if he was ready to walk away if they couldn't come to an agreement.

"Hold on... ah, forget it, forget it, three thousand it is, I'll leave it all for you."

"Okay, I'll go get the contract now."

The initial shop opening budget of over a hundred thousand was almost cut in half.

Xu Musen approached Zhu Yulan, who looked somewhat astonished.

Zhu Yulan had seen everything from the start, though the owner was quite detestable, taking over this milk tea shop even for a hundred thousand wouldn't be a loss.

He managed to slash the price to seventy thousand and even got the owner's machinery for an extra three thousand.

Moreover, his acting skills were on full display throughout the negotiation, expertly playing hard to get.

"Xu Musen, you're really not a good person," Zhu Yulan said seriously, pointing out that his negotiation had hit the owner where it hurt the most.

If the milk tea shop owner was a swindler, Xu Musen was the king of swindlers!

"You are mistaken, I am simply carrying out justice on behalf of the alumni of Hu Hai University, comrade, do not slander my noble and selfless reputation."

Xu Musen chuckled, then continued, "Oh right, could I borrow the printer from your company?" Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"For what?"

"To print two copies of the contract."

"Isn't there a copy shop right next door?"

"It's fifty cents per sheet of paper, I have to save where I can."

"..."

Zhu Yulan looked at Xu Musen's jesting face, bit her teeth in silence for a long while.

Keep being greedy, who knew you could be such a capitalist!
