Chapter 1890 Getting the IFC Contract -Part 3

"AH! Speak of the devil," Kong Rong said as he raised his hand and Jin walked into the steakhouse looking for him. He was rather surprised that the Dungeon Supplier dressed himself well for the meeting. It was as if he was a different person when he walked in.

"Hi guys, nice to meet you. Sorry and thank you for this impromptu meeting. Name's Jin." The Dungeon Supplier immediately extended for handshake with the IFC Director of Operations.

"Hi, nice to meet you too. I heard a lot about you in recent times and they had been good rumours. Name's Sun Kai Hung. Or you can call me Kai if you wish. Some of the Westerners have difficulty pronouncing my name." Kai Hung said as he returned the handshake. It was strong, firm and Jin could feel that he was putting some chi into the handshake as well although it did not really matter to him.

"It's fine, Mr Sun. Thank you for meeting me,"

"Like I said, Kai Hung or Kai would be fine." Kai Hung said as he settled and Kong Rong sat beside him so that Jin could be seated at the opposite side and they could discuss the situation properly. "One of our tenants is leaving as their entire company had not been making much profit as a whole even though they are making bank at our IFC Mall."

"Just not enough to support the entire company?" Jin asked and Kai Hung nodded his head.

"This is privy information because the bid for the tenancy of the store is not out yet. But we are highly suspecting they are not staying within the next month."

"Wait, if there's a bid, then that means...?" Jin looked at Kong Rong. "You are not here just to inform me about just the bid, right?"

"I'm glad that you are catching on." Kai Hung smiled. "The rent for the place is right beside the Pineapple and Hua Wee's flag store in order to not say the name of the company but the previous tenant rented it for about 750, 000 Yuan annually. So, the base bid for the annual rental is about 800, 000 Yuan, about 66K Yuan per month. "

"I guess if you are asking whether I can give a flat annual rental price?" Jin asked and Kai Hung smiled.

"Kong Rong, I like your friend." Kai Hung said and raised the number 15 with his two hands. But then he realised it was facing Jin wrongly and he inverted it so the number 15 was seen by Jin.

"Hahahaha oh my god, Kai. I nearly thought that you wanted 5.1 million Yuan annually from Jin." n-)o-.v-(e.-l((b(-I.-n

"If he gave me that amount, I might as well rent the entire floor to him and have some notes left to smoke as well." Kai Hung joked back but Jin looked at him seriously.

"Can you? For 5.1million Yuan?" Jin asked and it baffled Kai Hung for a while.

"It's a joke... right?" Kai Hung did not know whether to laugh or not.

"Depends whether you can make that happen or not," Jin said as he straightened his suit and laid back as the waiter came and asked if he wanted to order anything. "No thanks, just plain water would be fine."

"The water is chargeable, just for your information." The Waiter said and Jin nodded his head. Kai Hung usually would judge someone based on their drinks but his potential tenant was drinking water and yet he was asking Kai Hung if he could rent out the entire floor for 5.1 million. He felt that suddenly his entire concept of rich was screwed up.

"Here's your mineral water sir." The waiter said and yet Jin was still waiting for Kai Hung's answer. It was then Kai Hung decided to see if he was willing to bite.

"How about this? We are slated to make Basement Five our newest car park floor. I don't rent it to you, I will sell it to you for 88 Million for good prosperity's sake." Kai Hung was half jesting.

lightsΝοvel "If you are willing to put two entire sets of escalators dedicated only to basement Five, I do not see a problem with that," Jin said as he took out his phone as if to check his accounts.

"Jin, you are kidding, right? No one will rent an entire basement floor for 88 million dollars!"

"He did not say rent, he says buy. I own that piece of basement. I own part of the International Financial Centre. Am I right to say that?"

"Yes, if you are really willing to buy it at that price, I will even throw in that store we were talking about for free to you." Kai Hung could feel that this was no longer a jest but he decided to follow through.

"Okay, then can I ask, when will the basement be ready?"

"It would be for slated next year." Kai Hung tried to remember the exact date but he could not recall it off the bat.

"What? Wait. So, you want me to pay this much and it is slated for next year? Kong Rong, do you think this is a joke from your pal?"

"Wait. If we can have the funds early, we should be able to call in the construction companies in be done by January next year." Kai Hung tried to compromise. 88 Million dollars is a lot of money, spending another few million or two to expedite the basement would be a good thing for the company as well.

"That's still at least three months away...oh wait I need to do my one year anniversary soon. Thanks for reminding me. Anyways, no. It's still too late. I need it next month for my one year anniversary reveal. 35 Million Yuan, I buy it off from you and do the fifth basement myself.

"Look, Mr Xie. It's not that I do not trust you or anything but we have contracted the best most experienced company in construction and what you are working on is our IFC's foundations. We cannot risk any other construction company to just take it."

"Oh no, you sure can." Someone tapped on Kai Hung's shoulder and Jin smiled devilishly as the Operations Director looked behind to see who it was.
