NFBE Chapter 350 Negotiation
Chapter 350 Negotiation
The whole yard was silent for a long time. When everyone arrived, a tall man stood up and asked, "Uncle Li, Uncle Liu, Aunt Yu, now that everyone is here, can you tell us why you called us all back?"
"Yes! Yes! Why did you ask us to come back and ask me to take a day off from work tomorrow? Why?"
"Uncle Li, has something happened? Tell us and let's discuss what to do."
“…………” The yard suddenly became noisy, and everyone was asking what was going on.
Uncle Li stepped forward, cleared his throat and said, "We called everyone back because we have something important to discuss. You all listen to me first. As you all know, our street is a dead end, and the shops on the street cannot be rented out. No one is willing to buy their own businesses, and all the shop owners have lost all their money. Since then, the shops have been empty. The shops cannot be rented out and we have no other income, so we are forced to go out to work to make a living, unlike other families who have income from shops and can enjoy a comfortable life at home."
"Uncle Li, this is the current situation of our entire street. It has been like this for many years. It's useless for you to complain now. It will only waste our time."
Uncle Liu was a bit more irritable. He stood up and said, "Don't interrupt. Let Old Man Li finish what he is saying."
Uncle Li was silent for a moment and then said, "I see that many shops are a bit shabby now. I feel sad and blame myself for choosing such a useless place."
Many people nodded, but this was an established fact and could not be changed.
Uncle Li said: "But today someone came to our street to look at shops, and visited several shops to see the situation. In the end she said she wanted our shop, but she made a few requests."
The crowd was suddenly in an uproar and began to talk.
"What? Someone wants to rent a shop. Which shop does he want? Mine can be rented. It doesn't matter if the rent is cheaper."
"My house can also be rented out. I'll rent both floors to him." "Uncle Li, why don't you keep him here? You should have called us back immediately. Why are you waiting until the evening? The flowers are already cold."
"As long as someone rents it, that's fine. We don't ask for much."
"........."
The shop has been vacant for too long, so of course I'm happy to hear that someone is renting it. So now if someone is willing to rent it, I'll agree to any conditions.
Uncle Li pressed his hand and said, "Everyone, listen to me first. Why do you have to come back at night? It's because you are not renting one or two shops, but the shops on our entire street."
Seeing that everyone had something to say, Uncle Liu stood up and shouted, "Be quiet, listen to your Uncle Li. You will have your turn to speak later. You keep wasting time by talking nonsense."
Everyone could only shut up and wait for Uncle Li to finish speaking.
Uncle Li continued, "The noble lady said she wanted the shops on the entire street, and she didn't want to waste time, so she asked us to gather everyone together to discuss whether they were willing to rent to her. If there were anyone who was not willing, she would look for one somewhere else.
The noble lady made several requests, I will convey them first. First, if she rents all the houses on our street, we must move out. Second, if she rents all our shops, we can no longer enter and exit from the shops, but can open a small door in the backyard. But she will provide job opportunities for people here. Third, if she buys all our shops, we can only enter and exit from the backyard, and she will also provide job opportunities. Fourth, if she buys all the houses on our street, this place will have nothing to do with us after she takes the money. These are the four conditions that the noble lady said, I have also conveyed them, you can discuss and decide among yourselves. "
The whole yard was about to explode, with discussions, screams, the sobbing of old people, and the crying of frightened children mixed together.
After the excitement, someone stood up and asked, "Uncle Li, you keep saying he was a noble man, but did he say who he was and why he rented so many shops from us?"
Uncle Li said, "We were worried that she was joking, and we were also afraid that she would use it for illegal business. We also asked about the situation. The person who came said that she was the Princess of Anping County, named Zheng Sisi, who lived on Zhuque Street, and she rented the shop to do business."
"Princess Anping, how can she rent so many shops at once? Is she here?"
Aunt Yu stepped forward and said, "There were four of them, and they were followed by three noblemen."
"Is it credible that she rented so many shops?"
Uncle Liu shouted, "Huzi, you work in the reception building, tell me what you think."
