Chapter 153: Signing the Agreement at a Low Price (Part 1/2)

350,000? This was definitely as low as it could get.

Previously,

Manager Ma’s friends had considered pooling money to open a children’s amusement park.

At that time, Old Ma had not failed to discuss this with the mall owner.

Even taking his face into account, the owner only offered a friendly price of 400,000.

If it was rented out for 350,000, what would his friends think of him, and what would the owner think?

Manager Ma frowned slightly and shook his head.

The female colleague understood and was about to refuse.

But suddenly,

Manager Ma laughed out loud.

What was he thinking?

How could he let a child bluff him!

In Manager Ma’s view, let alone 350,000, Zhao Qingfeng probably couldn’t come up with 35,000.

Moreover,

the young man had gone straight to the point as soon as he entered the door, without even looking at the space, which was completely illogical.

And he also said he was not a man, clearly using reverse psychology to force him to kick him out.

It wasn’t going to be that easy.

Coming here to prank, there must be a price to pay!

With this thought, he lit another cigarette and casually told the female colleague, “Go ahead, sign it with him, but you have to tell him if he can’t produce the rest of the money within the specified time, not only will we confiscate the 20,000, but we will also demand a compensation of ten million, oh no, a compensation of ten million!”

Love to joke, right?

Then just throw out a ten million to scare him!

See how he scrambles out with his tail between his legs!

The female colleague nodded, exchanged a few more words with Manager Ma, and then turned and ran upstairs.

After she left, Manager Ma completely put the matter out of his mind, treating it as a small joke that would only come up during a drinking session.

He casually walked to the chess stall next to the door, focused on watching the old men play chess, and occasionally frowned or grinned to give advice.

“Hey, why move there? Lifting the chariot to press the cannon is the right move!”

“Hm? No, I saw this move wrong, shouldn’t lift the chariot.”

“What’s the rush? Let me look again, he’s going to draw the general, should move the old general.”

“Or counter-attack? No, counter-attack won’t work, just make a casual move first, see how he reacts.”

Manager Ma was purely a terrible chess player.

After giving a few terrible moves, he managed to irritate the old man greatly.

And chess, once you really get into it, tends to make you forget the time.

It was unclear how much time had passed, just as the old man was about to lose, Manager Ma suddenly felt someone tugging at his arm. Turning around, it was the female colleague from before, now with an agreement in her hand.

“What’s up?”

Manager Ma glanced at it and continued to watch the chessboard.

“Signed.”

The female colleague smiled, “An annual rent of 350,000, signed for three years, payable annually. He has already paid a 20,000 deposit, promising to settle the remainder by August 10th. The agreement also clearly states a penalty of 10 million for breach of contract, he didn’t hesitate at all, directly pressed his thumbprint.”

“Oh.”

Manager Ma was still focused on the chessboard.

The battle on the chessboard was intense, and the old man he was advising was about to lose.

Manager Ma lit another cigarette, carefully watching, looking for an opportunity to turn the tables.

He felt bad for giving several bad moves earlier, really letting the old brother down.

But with his terrible chess skills, he couldn’t think of any good moves.

Wait!

He suddenly froze, turning his head sharply to look at the female colleague.

Forget the chess.

What did she just say?

Signed?

Manager Ma snapped back to reality.

He quickly snatched the agreement, staring at it without blinking.

The agreement was clear.

An annual rent of 350,000, signed for three consecutive years, with priority for renewal, and the penalty also shocked him – a whopping ten million in bold that startled him so much he immediately yelled, “Fuck!”

This was serious.

The old man, hearing ‘fuck’, thought it was the chess term ‘wow’!

Great move!

The old man first looked at the chessboard, then immediately turned to give Manager Ma an approving smile.

Well done.
