The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han drove to Zhou Jiequan's real estate company, their conversation escalating as they discussed their upcoming negotiation strategies. Sunlight streamed through the windshield, casting a tense yet exciting atmosphere on the car.

“I think we can acquire these two properties at the lowest possible price,” Ouyang Han said confidently, gripping the steering wheel. “Especially the handicraft factory. Although it’s a bit old, the location is good, making it a perfect venue for martial arts.”

Chen Mengyao nodded, her gaze firm: "I'll handle the negotiations for the new office building; you'll be in charge of the handicraft factory. We need to show sincerity, but we can't let them think we're in a rush to buy. We need to keep the price stable and negotiate a little lower."

Ouyang Han smiled and said, "Understood. We'll split up and be more efficient."

The car slowly pulled into the real estate agency's parking lot. The two men straightened their clothes and walked into the company's lobby. As soon as they entered, they saw two middle-aged men already sitting on the sofa, talking in hushed tones, their expressions serious and focused.

When Zhou Jiequan saw them come in, he immediately got up and went to greet them, shaking hands warmly: "Oh, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for ages."

As he spoke, he introduced the two parties: "These two are the key figures today—this one, surnamed Li, is the owner's representative of the newly built office building; this one, surnamed Zhang, is the owner of the abandoned handicraft factory."

After the group nodded to each other, Zhou Jiequan led everyone to the conference room, invited them to sit down, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

"We've gathered here today mainly to discuss the price of these two venues," Zhou Jiequan said bluntly. "We are interested in purchasing them, but as for the price, it depends on what you all think."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Han smiled slightly and took the initiative to speak: "I think we can talk separately first, it will be more efficient. Mr. Zhang, although your handicraft factory is a bit old, I am personally quite interested in that land. Why don't we talk about it separately?"

Mr. Zhang nodded and smiled slightly: "Alright, young man, you have good taste. Let's talk then."

At the same time, Chen Mengyao picked up her teacup, took a sip, and looked calmly at Mr. Li: "Mr. Li, I heard that your building is newly built and has complete facilities, which makes us very interested. However, what are your considerations regarding the price?"

Mr. Li placed his hands on the table and said firmly, "To be honest, this building was only completed by our company last year. The location is good, the transportation is convenient, and the surrounding facilities are well-developed. Our quoted price is 18,000 yuan per square meter, for a total price of 25 million yuan. This price is not considered high in the current market."

Chen Mengyao smiled slightly, her tone gentle yet sharp: "Mr. Li, you're right, this building is indeed quite nice. However, we're acquiring it as a whole, not selling it piecemeal. And, to be honest, we also have other projects under consideration, so if we could be a little more flexible on the price, I think our cooperation would proceed more quickly."

Mr. Li frowned: "You want the whole building, and of course we know that this is not a small business. But we also need to consider the return on investment; we can't sell at a loss."

“I understand,” Chen Mengyao nodded. “However, I can give you a preliminary quote: 16,000 yuan per square meter, for a total price of 22.5 million yuan, payable in full upfront. This will ensure your profit margin and allow us to complete the transaction as quickly as possible. What do you think?”

Mr. Li pondered for a moment, picked up his water glass, took a sip, and slowly said, "This price... is much lower than we expected. But since you're so sincere, let's go with this price."

Meanwhile, Ouyang Han was looking through the blueprints of the abandoned workshop provided by Boss Zhang, speaking casually to him: "Boss Zhang, your land is quite large and the location is convenient, but the factory building is a bit old and its structure needs to be assessed. So, my budget is about five thousand per square meter, totaling eight million. Do you see any room for negotiation?"

Mr. Zhang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Young man, you're trying to get a bargain. Although this factory is a bit old, the land is designated for industrial use, so it has great potential for future development. I'm asking for twelve million, not a penny less."

Ouyang Han remained calm and tapped the table lightly: "Mr. Zhang, I understand your thoughts. But as you know, the approval process for converting industrial land to commercial use is very strict now, and this factory is dilapidated, so the repair costs are not low. If you insist on 12 million, then I regret to inform you that I have to give up."

Mr. Zhang narrowed his eyes, clearly weighing the pros and cons. After a few seconds, he sighed, "How about this, eleven million, that's the lowest I can go. If you really want it, I can accept this price."

Ouyang Han's lips curled slightly as he extended his hand: "The condition for the deal is that payment must be made within three months of the contract being signed. I can transfer five million upfront, with the remainder to be transferred in two installments over two months. If you agree to this, I can finalize the deal with you right now."

Boss Zhang glanced at Ouyang Han, then at Chen Mengyao's situation, and finally grasped his hand: "Okay, it's settled then."

The atmosphere in the meeting room gradually eased, and all parties reached a preliminary consensus. Zhou Jiequan nodded in satisfaction, secretly admiring the negotiation skills of the two young men.

The four then had Zhou Jiequan draft the contract according to the agreed price and payment method. After the contract was signed, Chen Mengyao paid the full amount to Boss Li, while Ouyang Han paid Boss Zhang five million, instructing them to arrange the transfer of ownership within the next few days.

"Remember to complete the formalities as soon as possible, and notify us immediately after the transfer is completed," Chen Mengyao instructed before leaving.

"No problem, we'll handle it as soon as possible," Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang replied in unison.

After leaving the spacious and bright conference room, Chen Mengyao quickly transferred the commission she was owed to Zhou Jiequan's real estate agency. This fee was an affirmation of Zhou Jiequan's professional service and a thank you for successfully facilitating the transaction. At the same time, Ouyang Han also did not forget to express his gratitude to Zhou Jiequan. He privately sent Zhou Jiequan a sum of money as a reward for his role in facilitating the deal.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Ouyang Han sent a red envelope via WeChat to express his gratitude to Zhou Jiequan. After receiving the red envelope, Zhou Jiequan replied with a smile, "You guys are really amazing, you negotiated the price so quickly." His words were full of praise and respect.

Chen Mengyao chimed in, "I'll treat you to dinner another time when I have time. I've been incredibly busy these past few days." Her words revealed her gratitude and apology towards Zhou Jiequan, while also expressing her recent busy schedule.

After exchanging a few more polite words and wishing each other a brighter future, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han bid farewell to Zhou Jiequan, thanking him for his help and support. They knew that this successful transaction was inseparable from Zhou Jiequan's professional service and selfless assistance.

After finishing all their business, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han prepared to return to the supermarket to pick up their grandparents and maternal grandparents to take home and rest. On the way home, Ouyang Han said with emotion, "This time, we really owe you a lot." His words were full of gratitude towards Chen Mengyao. "If you hadn't calmed Mr. Li down first, the price might not have gone so smoothly," he continued, emphasizing Chen Mengyao's important role in the negotiations.

Chen Mengyao smiled and replied, "You too. Boss Zhang was initially very tough, but you managed to gradually win him back. Your negotiation skills are becoming more and more refined." Her words were full of praise and affirmation for Ouyang Han. Ouyang Han shrugged and said modestly, "Our excellent teamwork is what makes things twice as effective." His words revealed his confidence and satisfaction with their collaboration.

Both are extremely satisfied with the office building and space they purchased. They can't wait to go back and design how to renovate and refurbish the spaces. They believe that with their combined efforts, the project will be a complete success.
