Looking at the shining white fan, Boss Wang suddenly had a bad feeling.
Lin Wanrong smiled, "Boss Wang, it's easy. My father isn't anyone special. He's just someone who works for the emperor and can't be seen in public."
When it came to reading people's minds, Lin Wanrong's years as a sales manager weren't for nothing. What he said was useless, but it was definitely useful.
He had heard from Dong Rende that this Boss Wang's son was a county magistrate and had earned a lot of money. People gave him the nickname One Meter Higher Sky. This old man was preparing to go home and enjoy his son's life, which was why he wanted to take over the shop. Although this Delicious Pavilion had a beautiful name, Boss Wang was a petty person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Thus, the shop's business wasn't good.
Experienced Jianghu people were not afraid of those who said that their father was a minister and their grandfather was the prime minister. What they were afraid of was this kind of smiling childe with evil in his heart. Boss Wang was experienced in Jianghu, so he naturally knew this.
"I won't hide it from Young Master Lin. This restaurant's location is great and it has many regulars. If I didn't have to retire, I wouldn't be willing to sell this restaurant. However, Young Master Lin has an imposing appearance and one look and I can tell that you are someone who will do great things. This little shop is definitely the right choice in Young Master Lin's hands. This old man doesn't dare to ask for a high price. 6,800 taels of silver, an auspicious number. What do you think? "Boss Wang said happily.
"6,800 taels? That's not impossible. " Lin Wanrong waved her fan and smiled. "But Boss Wang, I have a temper. I don't like to keep odd numbers when doing business. How about this? Let's be more straightforward and round it up to a whole number. How about six thousand taels, or seven thousand taels. What do you think?"
Old Dong was so shocked that he bit his tongue. Was there anyone who haggled like this? Did this Young Master Lin become stupid after earning so much money yesterday?
Lin Wanrong smiled faintly. Dong Rende heard his words and was confused. Wasn't he raising the price for himself? If Boss Wang insisted on 7,000 taels of silver, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot?
Lin Wanrong wasn't worried about that. In the end, it was a question of who was more shameless. When it came to shamelessness, if Lin Wanrong claimed to be second, no one would dare to claim to be first.
Although this Boss Wang was also a veteran, when it came to shamelessness, he was far from Lin Wanrong. When he heard this, he couldn't take it anymore. This Young Master Lin was obviously trying to extort a confession. Did he really have to be so thick-skinned as to say seven thousand taels?
Boss Wang smiled awkwardly, "Young Master Lin, this, this isn't —"
"Boss Wang, 800 taels of silver is nothing to me, and it's nothing to you, but this is a matter of doing business. To tell you the truth, we scholars are not interested in doing business. I bought this shop just for fun. When my old man comes to Jiangnan, I'll be able to give him an explanation. If you think the price is right, then we have a deal. If it's not, hmph, then pretend I didn't say anything. "Lin Wanrong said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
Boss Wang wiped away his cold sweat. Who knew what kind of background his old man had? He didn't want his son to get into trouble unknowingly.
Boss Wang thought for a while, then clenched his teeth and said, "Fine, 6,000 taels it is. I only hope that Young Master Lin can be more tolerant in the future."
"Straightforward! I like it! " Lin Wanrong closed his fan with a snap and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then let's not delay and quickly sign the contract."
Boss Wang said, "No problem, I also like doing business with straightforward people."
Lin Wanrong nodded and said to Dong Rende, "Dong, quickly take out 3,000 taels of silver."
Dong Rende was stunned, but the two of them had already agreed to follow Lin Wanrong's lead, so he hurriedly took out 3,000 taels of silver.
Boss Wang didn't know what he meant and said doubtfully, "Young Master Lin, this 3,000 taels …"
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Boss Wang, this 3,000 taels is the first payment. The other 3,000 taels, I will pay you in half a year."
"How can this be done?" Boss Wang was shocked and said, "Doing business is all about money and goods."
Lin Wanrong said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Boss Wang, it's not that I don't trust you, but it's really hard to know a person's heart. Although you've transferred this restaurant to me, who knows if you have any debts on the outside or if you've mortgaged this restaurant? "
Boss Wang was stunned and his face immediately became a bit ugly. He said, "Young Master Lin, isn't this making things too difficult for me?"
Lin Wanrong's expression didn't change. He said, "Difficult? Not at all, not at all. Boss Wang, I'm doing this to ensure both of our interests. As long as there are no creditors in half a year, not only will I pay you the 3,000 taels, but I will also calculate the interest monthly. This way, you won't lose anything and I can buy without worry. "
Dong Rende finally understood. Lin Wanrong originally wanted to find Boss Wang for a loan. Only a thick-skinned person like him could think of such a shameless and dirty excuse.
Seeing Boss Wang's troubled expression, Lin Wanrong's eyebrows twitched and his expression changed. He said, "What? Could it be that Boss Wang doesn't trust me? Humph, although I don't walk around the Jinling court often, I can still make my face familiar. As for those little brats who are messing around, they won't give me face. Boss Wang, don't worry, as long as I call them, they won't dare to cause trouble for you. However, without me, I can't guarantee that they will do anything … "
A threat, this was a blatant threat!
Boss Wang saw the cold smile on Lin Wanrong's face and his heart shivered. Where did this young master come from? How could he be so thick-skinned? Even his threats were so blatant. He didn't expect that his face was even blacker than his heart. If he didn't have someone backing him, this brat wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
Dong Rende was well aware of Lin Wanrong's background. Seeing how Lin Wanrong was able to make up lies with such an arrogant tone, Dong Rende couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If they were seen through, it would be strange if they didn't have their legs broken.
Boss Wang's heart shivered. Lin Wanrong opened his paper fan with a swish and waved it a few times. He smiled and said, "Boss Wang, you can rest assured. I never like to bully people. We can sign a contract. If I can't pay you back in half a year and the interest, this restaurant … you can take it back."
Under the coercion and temptation, Boss Wang had already lost his ability to judge and could only agree.
Fortunately, if he really did as Lin Wanrong said, he wouldn't lose out. If he couldn't pay back the money in half a year, the restaurant would still belong to him.
The two of them signed a contract and agreed that if he couldn't pay back the money in half a year, the restaurant would return to Boss Wang's name.
When the two of them left the building, it was already noon. Lin Wanrong only felt that his back was drenched in sweat. Even when he was a sales manager, he had never experienced such an exhilarating and extortionate situation.
Dong Rende saw that Lin Wanrong had Boss Wang under his thumb with just a few words. Not only did he buy the restaurant, but he also got a half-year loan of three thousand taels of silver. He really admired Lin Wanrong's shamelessness and fearlessness.
Lin Wanrong wiped the cold sweat off his body and said to Dong Rende, "Uncle Dong, today is an important day. Go and call Qiaoqiao and Qingshan over. Let's celebrate."
