Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

Zheng Liang was still enjoying the various delicious foods on the table. When he saw Chen Liangzi standing up beside him, he stopped what he was doing and stood up with Chen Liangzi.

The capable middle-aged man who came in quickly figured out who was in charge.

He extended his hand towards Chen Liangzi, shook hands with him, and then gestured for everyone to sit down together.

"My name is Luo Linkun. We were talking on the phone at noon. What are your names?"

Luo Linkun is the owner of that stall. He originally started his business by selling seafood at the dock.

As a result, seeing the rapid development of the real estate industry in the past few years, I began to think about investing in the real estate industry.

When I first entered the industry, I was learning as I went along. However, thanks to the soaring land and housing prices in various parts of Hong Kong Island in those two years.

Therefore, even if you are only half-baked, you can still make a lot of money.

But the good times did not last long. Just as the business was getting on track, foreign trade was blocked, and the real estate industry was quickly affected, almost like a weather vane.

At first, I thought I could just hold on and get through this cold winter, but it ended up taking me almost two years.

The economic situation still shows no signs of improvement.

In addition, since the beginning of this year, the original black and white forces have been replaced one after another, making it almost impossible for people to live in peace every day.

That's why he decided to shut down this business completely.

The female sales clerk from yesterday was harassed by those Dongji guys again, and she asked for her resignation from him, which made him more determined.

So, a day later, when Chen Liangzi, Zheng Liang and others came here again, they saw that the house had been closed and transferred.

Of course, Chen Liangzi had some guesses in his mind. They were present yesterday, and in fact, they were the ones who pushed for it personally.

The female sales clerk had been harassed by these guys before, and it was probably Zheng Liang's words yesterday, "kill this woman together," that completely made her give up.

"Hello, Mr. Luo! My name is Chen Liang, and this is my brother, Zheng Liang!"

After Chen Liangzi introduced himself and Zheng Liang to Luo Linkun, he called the waiter outside in.

"We're a little early. Could you please take a look and order something else?"

However, Luo Linkun did not reject Chen Liangzi's kindness, although it seemed that he was the one who paid in the end.

After ordering a cup of coffee, I asked the waiter to leave.

"Judging from your accents, it seems you're not from Hong Kong Island either?"

Luo Linkun asked Chen Liangzi and Zheng Liang with a smile.

Of course, this question is actually nonsense. With such an obvious accent, anyone who is not deaf can hear it.

Although Zheng Liang and his friends had learned Cantonese for a few days before, they only learned the basics.

After listening to this, Chen Liangzi just smiled and nodded, without denying it.

Luo Linkun actually had some guesses when he called in the afternoon.

In this environment, it is really a pipe dream for him to sell his property to local people in Hong Kong Island.

Who among the locals would take over his property which essentially has no assets?

Apart from a shop, the only things that are of some value are some customer information and nearby houses for rent and sale.

That is to say, outsiders would need it, so Luo Linkun was indeed anxious to make a move, and he felt that Chen Liangzi and others were suitable trading partners, so he hurriedly asked them to come out.

After Chen Liangzi nodded, in order to avoid an awkward atmosphere, he could only continue speaking.

"I came to Hong Kong Island with some friends to make a living, so I looked around to see if there was any suitable business to start."

Luo Linkun laughed and began to introduce enthusiastically.

"Mr. Chen is indeed a man of great courage. He can bring his brothers here and still have such thoughts. He is indeed a responsible big brother!"

"But since we're talking about business, I really recommend Mr. Chen's upcoming property. As you can see, Hong Kong Island has a thriving economy and is a major port. Although housing prices have dropped significantly right now, they're bound to recover!"

Chen Liangzi listened to Luo Linkun's introduction without interrupting, but just nodded continuously.

After all, these all fall into the category of social economics. Chen Liangzi doesn't understand such advanced knowledge.

It is true that he is involved in the underworld, but asking him to predict or judge the economic situation is really asking too much.

However, there is someone behind him who makes the decision. Since Ning Yuan asked him to participate in the real estate industry, he just has to do it.

In fact, although Luo Linkun's words just now were indeed used to fool Chen Liangzi and the others, at its core, there is some truth in them.

As for Ning Yuan, there is no need to even mention it. He doesn't even need to understand economic logic or anything.

He knows the answer exactly. Basically, in September or October, when the new policies of Hong Kong Island are introduced, housing prices will immediately stop falling and rise again.

The timing of this incident is so coincidental that it is almost shameless.

Chen Liangzi didn't understand all these things, but he knew how to bargain, so after listening to Luo Linkun's words, he gathered his thoughts and then spoke.

"Mr. Luo's explanation was very good. It really taught us a lesson. Since this business is so profitable, we won't steal your love. You should run it yourself!"

After saying that, he directly asked Zheng Liang beside him to stand up, and the two of them acted as if they were going to leave immediately.

When Luo Linkun heard the first sentence, he thought he could finally sell the house at a good price.

But who would have thought that the two mainland guys opposite would just leave after saying something. This really gave him a big blow.

So these two came here just to have a meal with him?

After realizing what was going on, Luo Linkun quickly stood up, stopped Chen Liangzi and Zheng Liang, and began to explain.

"Well, since I've already put up the notice, I must have my own difficulties. To be honest with you two, I'm in need of money recently, so I'm in a hurry to make a move!"

After hearing what he said, Chen Liangzi sat back down.

That's right, this is the attitude to talk about things.

"Then Mr. Luo, why don't you just tell me how much you plan to sell your property for?"

Hearing that Chen Liangzi finally got to the point, Luo Linkun smiled again. He took a sip of coffee, weighed the pros and cons, and then spoke cautiously.

"Eighty thousand yuan is enough for the transfer fee. The shop still has two years left on its lease, so the rent alone is around forty thousand yuan. Add to that the formalities for the property, customer information, property information, and so on. This price is really not expensive!"

Chen Liangzi had already agreed with this price. After all, he had inquired about various prices in the morning, including the rent of some stalls, transfer fees and so on.

I have some understanding of it, but the problem now is that recognition is recognition.

I don’t have that much money!

(Chapter supplement!)

After thinking for a moment, Chen Liangzi said to Luo Linkun somewhat embarrassedly.

"Mr. Luo, I'll tell you the truth. My brothers and I didn't bring much money with us when we came to Hong Kong Island this time. So, if you ask for 80,000, I really can't afford it!"

Luo Linkun hadn't originally thought that the deal could be finalized in one go, so when he quoted the price, he was prepared for the other party to bargain.

After seeing that the expression on Chen Liangzi's face did not seem fake, he nodded and then asked Chen Liangzi again.

"Since Mr. Chen has said so, I, A-Kun, am not the kind of person who is unreasonable. How about this, Mr. Chen, you name a price and we can discuss it."

After hearing Luo Linkun's words, Zheng Liang, who was sitting aside without interrupting, secretly patted Chen Liangzi's leg under the table.

Chen Liangzi looked down and saw Zheng Liang secretly making a six gesture to him.

Chen Liangzi knew exactly what this meant. He only counted the money he had in the afternoon, and it was just over 60,000 yuan in total.

Zheng Liang wanted to ask Chen Liangzi to directly cut the price to 60,000, so that he could get it.

Chen Liangzi smiled and did not respond to Zheng Liang. Instead, he looked up at Luo Linkun and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Well, let me be frank. We only have 40,000 yuan right now. Your place is empty anyway, so why not just sublet it to us? Let's just be friends!"

Luo Linkun smiled and shook his head, then sighed and spoke again.

"Mr. Chen, you're leaving me with absolutely no chance of making a profit! This price is really too low. Could you please increase it a little more?"

Zheng Liang, who was standing by, swallowed his saliva quietly when he heard Chen Liangzi start with 40,000.

These Buddhas are so cruel and evil-minded. Damn, this is how the gangs behave!

However, Chen Liangzi did not really follow Luo Linkun's words and raise the price at will.

Anyway, when doing business, you have to negotiate a lot, right? What you save is yours.

After complaining again, Chen Liangzi still insisted on the price of 40,000 yuan and refused to budge.

This is the time to test endurance. Whoever gives up first will have the advantage.

However, what surprised Chen Liangzi was that Luo Linkun also insisted on the bottom line of 40,000 yuan, and the two of them were in a stalemate.

Just when the situation seemed to be about to collapse.

Seeing that Luo Linkun's expression was becoming increasingly impatient, Chen Liangzi bumped into Zheng Liang, who was still sitting next to him without saying a word, with his leg under the table.

Zheng Liang has broadened his horizons and today he finally understood how business is conducted.

He has a calm personality and a quick mind, but he just doesn't understand these things very well because he has no experience in the past.

Seeing Chen Liangzi reminding him from below, he immediately realized that it was his turn to step forward and cooperate.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Liang slowly said to Chen Liangzi.

"Um, Brother Chen, I also have something to tell you!"

When Chen Liangzi heard Zheng Liang's words, he realized that this boy must have understood what he was hinting at.

So, even though he knew what was going on, he still pretended to be confused and asked with a frown.

"What's going on, Old Zheng? Why don't you tell me the time? I'm in the middle of a business negotiation right now!"

Zheng Liang nodded, then pretended to be embarrassed and hesitated to explain to Chen Liangzi.

"Brother Chen, I have to tell you this right now. Actually, weren't you and Mr. Luo just discussing something that was just a little short of the target? If we can't do that, we can just give Mr. Luo a little more. That way, both sides can have a good time!"

Finally, he turned to look at Luo Linkun and asked a question.

"You agree, Mr. Luo!"

Luo Linkun wanted to remain calm, but he still nodded towards Zheng Liang.

After hearing what Zheng Liang said, Chen Liangzi became a little angry.

"I want to join in too. I really appreciate Mr. Luo for treating us two brothers to such a sumptuous meal. But we are limited, right? Don't we have any extra money?"

Zheng Liang patted Chen Liangzi's shoulder and said embarrassedly.

"Brother Chen, what I want to say is actually this. When I smuggled over from the mainland, I actually hid a little money, only a few thousand yuan. How about we just give it to Mr. Luo, and we'll be worthy of Mr. Luo's meal!"

After hearing what Zheng Liang said, Chen Liangzi really couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

This kid is really smart. I didn't even tell him what to do. I just gave him a reminder, and he actually cooperated to this extent.

Of course, some surface work still needs to be done.

Chen Liangzi glared and pointed at Zheng Liang, then put down his arm in annoyance and asked Zheng Liang.

"You, forget it, forget it. I'll talk to you when we get home tonight. Now let's get down to business. Tell me the truth, how much money do you have?"

This time, Zheng Liang made a five gesture directly on the table.

He came up with this number after thinking about it for a while.

Five thousand is a reasonable amount, and it can at least satisfy Luo Linkun's desire to ask for a higher price.

Moreover, for them, it is within an acceptable price range.

If Chen Liangzi felt that the amount given was too much, he could use the excuse that everyone needed to eat and withhold some more.

No matter how you calculate it, it is a relatively appropriate number.

Sure enough, Chen Liangzi nodded at him imperceptibly.

Then he turned and looked at Luo Linkun who was sitting across the table.

"Mr. Luo, how about adding another 4,000? We just got here, so we have to save some money for food!"

Luo Linkun looked at the two people opposite him. Since the conversation had reached this point, he nodded helplessly.

In fact, according to his bottom line, the minimum should be 50,000 yuan.

But the current 44,000 is a decent enough explanation.

"So, when do we pay the money and go through the paperwork? How about tomorrow morning, still in this teahouse, or in this private room?"

Luo Linkun thought that these two mainlanders would not carry such a large amount of money with them and walk around everywhere!

Moreover, even if they really came with money, he still had to prepare the transfer contract, the client, and the property information, so he simply made an appointment for tomorrow morning.

Chen Liangzi and the others naturally had nothing to say and agreed immediately.
