Fanhua: Abao, stop here and pay me back.

Chapter 28 Everyone is happy
The next day, Gou Siji did not meet someone from the Qilin Society, or Qiang Mujie, the representative of the Pengcheng forces, as he expected. Instead, the person waiting was Wang Lijun.

"Boss Gou, I'm sorry to disturb you so early."

Wang Lijun said he was embarrassed, but in fact he took a low stool next to Gou Siji and sat on it without any thought of treating him as an outsider.

"Brother Wang, is there something good coming to my little shop? Brother Wang, please come over in person."

Gou Siji asked thoughtfully.

The meaning of Gou Siji's words is, don't come to me if things are not done well. I don't have that much time.

Gou Siji believed that Wang Lijun understood what he meant and that he was not welcome here.

"I'm just here to inform Boss Gou of the good news."

Wang Lijun smiled.

"The stores at No. 240 Qiujiang Road and No. 242 Qiujiang Road have initially accepted my request."

Wang Lijun showed his white teeth.

"What about the store at No. 241 Qiujiang Road?"

Gou Siji had no intention of playing riddles with this poisonous snake.

"The landlord of the store at No. 241 Qiujiang Road has announced that the store will no longer be rented."

Wang Lijun spread his hands and showed a helpless expression.

"Okay, since the agreement between us cannot be fulfilled, then it will be invalidated."

Gou Siji pointed his left hand toward the door, making a gesture of inviting guests.

According to the agreement, Wang Lijun wanted to establish a connection with Qianqiao and convince the shop No. 240 and No. 242 on Qiujiang Road to be transferred. He also had to convince the owner of shop No. 241 to agree to rent the shop to him. On top of this, Wang Lijun also needs to convince these three stores to sign long-term rental contracts with him.

These conditions are indispensable.

What's more, the most critical No. 241 Qiujiang Road is missing.

The store at No. 241 Qiujiang Road is missing, and the remaining two stores are completely unconnected.

Two independent street shops are of little use to Gou Siji.

Since Wang Lijun failed to secure the store at No. 241 Qiujiang Road, there is nothing left to talk about.

It was quite polite to ask Wang Lijun to go out.

But Wang Lijun was completely unmoved.

Just when Gou Siji was about to get angry, he called Li Tian's men to drive Wang Lijun away.

"Boss Gou, don't get angry yet, I still got a chance."

Wang Lijun did not feel any embarrassment.

After all, for a loan shark like him, if he is embarrassed when he encounters something that he doesn't understand, then he doesn't want to get back the money he loaned out.

"What chance? This is not the place to bargain with you. You'd better make it clear once and for all."

Gou Siji said expressionlessly.

"The owner of the shop at No. 241 Qiujiang Road did not want to rent out the shop, but wanted to do it himself. But after he heard that he wanted to rent the shop at No. 241 Qiujiang Road, after my hard persuasion, he I promised to see you first."

Wang Lijun said with a smile.

Of course Wang Lijun didn't tell lies, but he didn't tell the whole truth either.

For example, the "hard persuasion" did not happen at all. There is no emotional drama in the mall, only a naked exchange of interests.

The reason why the matter was not settled was because the bargaining chips Wang Lijun used in exchange did not satisfy the owner of the shop at No. 241 Qiujiang Road.

But after hearing that the person who wanted to rent was Gou Siji, he suddenly agreed to talk. Maybe it was because Gou Siji had interests that the owner of the shop at No. 241 Qiujiang Road was interested in.

Gou Siji also saw it, but didn't expose it.

"Then let's meet and you will lead the way."

Gou Siji said directly.

Inside a local restaurant on Jinxian Road.

The landlady entertained the customers with an impatient tone.

But the customers didn't mind the boss lady's bad attitude at all.

This is the norm in local restaurants in Shanghai, and customers may feel more at ease with the proprietress’s Shanghai dialect.

Gou Siji followed Wang Lijun's guidance and came to a private room inside.

"Boss Gou, I have long admired you. I am the landlord of the shop at No. 241 Qiujiang Road, and my name is Wang Xihuan." After seeing Gou Siji come in, a man sitting at the main seat in the private room stood up politely and introduced himself.

"Boss Wang is very polite. I heard from Brother Wang that you intend to transfer the store to me."

Gou Siji told a little lie.

What Wang Lijun said from beginning to end was to help Gou Siji sign a long-term lease contract, not to transfer the store.

You must know that the Qiujiang Road shops at the intersection of Pudong and Puxi occupy a huge advantage in location. In the 1980s and 1990s, it was a street that outsiders would inevitably pass by when coming to Shanghai.

Everyone knows that Qiujiang Road will definitely become more and more prosperous.

The store on Qiujiang Road is unlikely to be for sale.

The reason why Gou Siji said this is because, in order to achieve the purpose of opening a window, he must first raise the roof.

"Boss Gou, are you kidding? It is absolutely impossible to sell the shops on Qiujiang Road. This is the guarantee for our generation's retirement."

As a veteran in the business world, Wang Xihuan also understood that Gou Siji was showing his strength.

"It's like this. I want to take back this shop and do some small business on my own. But I heard that Boss Gou also wants my shop, so I want to listen to Boss Gou's opinion."

Wang Xihuan said to Gou Siji while ordering food.

Gou Siji instantly realized that the other party was also a veteran in the business world.

This seemingly nonsensical statement is actually asking how much price Gou Siji can pay.

"I don't know how Boss Wang found Gou's qualities among so many tenants."

Gou Siji kicked the ball back to Wang Xihuan.

Gou Siji only thought it was funny. Wang Xihuan could take the initiative to discuss with him because he must have liked something in him.

If you make an offer in advance, you will only fall into a passive position.

If it's too high, you'll suffer.

If it is too low, you will lose your confidence at the negotiation table.

Therefore, let the other party make an offer first, so that you can gain an advantageous position in the negotiation.

In this transaction, although it was Gou Siji who sought the lease first, it was Wang Xihuan who took the initiative to find him.

Therefore, Wang Xihuan is the passive party.

When Wang Xihuan saw this young man, he also put away his contemptuous thoughts.

This is not a young person, this is an old fritter.

Signal those around you to leave first.

After seeing his own people leaving with Wang Lijun.

Wang Xihuan said.

"Boss Gou, let me tell you directly. I heard that the game cartridges in our flea market are all purchased from you. I am in the game console business myself, and I would like to know where you purchase them from."

Wang Xihuan directly asked Gou Siji about his foundation.

Everyone who does business knows that the purchase channel is one of their fundamental competitiveness. If the purchase channel is known to others, one of their advantages will be lost.

Wang Xihuan obviously wanted to use the lease of his own store in exchange for the channels in Gou Siji's hands.

"Oh, Boss Wang is also in the game console business? This business should be quite big, right?"

Gou Siji did not answer Wang Xihuan's question, but instead asked Wang Xihuan about his main business.

Because Wang Xihuan made it clear that he had not opened a store before, but he was in the game console business, he could only be a channel dealer or agent.

"really."

Wang Xihuan directly confirmed Gou Siji's guess.

After all, there is nothing that cannot be said. Wang Xihuan also hopes to cooperate with more downstream stores.

"I just get the goods from myself."

Gou Siji said with a smile.
