In the end, the outcome was still unfavorable .
Liu Guo Qiang just left . Although he acted politely when he left, he was definitely cursing Lin Fan's mother in his heart .
Lin Fan was guessing how this fella would curse him .
Old f*cker?
No, I'm still young . He's definitely calling me an ignorant little brat .
That's more likely .
Lil' Wu, who was standing outside the shop, started to speak, "Master Lin, you're really leaving?"
Lin Fan chuckled when he saw his expression . "Should be . I guess I'll be leaving Cloud Street . "
"Huh?!" Lil' Wu's jaw widened in disbelief . He couldn't bear for Lin Fan to leave . Why did he want to leave?
"Where are you planning to go?" He had to ask clearly . He wanted to know if it was far away from his workplace . If it wasn't far, he could move there too . Anyway, transport would be convenient and the train service could ferry him to work punctually .
Lin Fan chuckled, "I don't know about that yet . I haven't selected a place . "
Lil' Wu didn't ask much after that . He just looked like he couldn't bear for Lin Fan to leave . Then, he told the people in the WeChat group about what he had just witnessed .
The members in the group were shocked .
"D*mn! That's ruthless . A 100% increase? He's literally forcing every shop owner to leave
. "
"I won't even say anything else about this . I can only say that Little Boss is awesome . No matter where he moves to, I will definitely support him . If it is somewhere far away, I will make time to go and have a look whenever I can . "
"What is Little Boss trying to do? Didn't the man mention that he wouldn't be charged a single cent? Why did he still kick up a big fuss about it?"
"That's incorrect . You should know how Little Boss is like . He's not someone that's after such things . He's doing this simply because the other party went overboard . "
"In the past, Cloud Street didn't seem so crowded . Things only improved after Little Boss came . Now that they've decided to increase rental fees, it's such an ugly sight to see . "
"Yeah, if not for Little Boss, I wouldn't have gone to Cloud Street . I've been there every single day for the past two months . I've made friends with the other shop owners . Now that there is an ongoing conflict about the increase in rental fees, I definitely stand by them . "
Fraud Tian looked at Lin Fan . "It's obvious that the person that came earlier wants to keep you here . They want to double the rental fees to make a big sum of money . "
Lin Fan chuckled, "Can I let him get what he wants? Sure, only if I'm a fool . "
The other shop owners gathered around . Little Boss was their only hope . They were all very helpless . If they weren't forced to leave, they wouldn't have thought of leaving the place at all .
The increment was too much . They were simply being taken advantage of .
They had even been asked to just leave if they were unhappy with it . n.o.body could be spared from it .
As for Lin Fan, he didn't want to stay any further even if his fees were waived .
This was an awkward situation after all .
Lin Fan looked at everyone . "Everyone, don't worry . I will definitely fight for all of you regarding this . This b.l.o.o.d.y Xin Yu company wants to take advantage of us . How can we agree to it? The fella
fella told me that only my rental fees will be discounted or waived but I rejected him . Am I someone that can't afford it? He didn't understand why I rejected the offer and came to discuss with me . I have to say that it wasn't well done at all . "
The other shop owners remained silent . They just looked at Little Boss .
They were moved by him .
At the same time, they were wondering why would a person like Little Boss exist in this world .
This was something they had not seen before .
All businessmen were clever . They were well-versed when it comes to relations . Although some shop owners acted like they were living in harmony with the other shop owners, they would grumble about things behind each other's back .
But they all respected Little Boss .
If the person told them that their fees would be discounted and waived, it would be extremely difficult for them to not agree to that .
But now, they were a.s.sured that Master Lin was definitely on their side .
Elder Liang said, "Little Boss, I've never admired someone so much before . You're the only one that I admire . We will only listen to you regarding this matter . "
Elder Zhang said, "If we really decide to leave this place, we can just take a break for one or two months . It doesn't really affect us . I'm sure we can find a better place . "
Lin Fan chuckled, "Everyone, please do not think of this matter as a bad one . Everything can be changed in a split second . "
At Xin Yu Commercial Real Estate Company .
Liu Guo Qiang returned and he looked extremely stern . The other employees looked at each other and guessed that the discussion has definitely been unsuccessful . If it had been successful, his facial expression wouldn't have been so ugly .
Zhu Xiu Qin said, "How did it go? Did Master Lin agree to it?"
Liu Guo Qiang placed the doc.u.ments on the table . "Agree with it my a*s . He really thinks that Cloud Street won't be able to survive without him . I have already told him that we can discount and even waive his rental fees . He immediately rejected me and suggested for us to only increase it by 10% . I think he must be dreaming . How much is 10% as compared to 100%?"
Zhu Xiu Qin sneered, "I told you . We can't let them have their way . We have to teach them a lesson . We are a real estate company, not a charity . The increase in visitor flow in Cloud Street would definitely result in an increase in rental fees . That's just how the market works . "
"Yeah . " Liu Guo Qiang nodded . "I agree with what you said . We can't let them have what they want . They'll get used to it and this will become a norm . Then, it will be even more difficult for us in the future . "
Zhu Xiu Qin replied, "It's not as if we have never experienced this before . The increment in price is according to the market . We are not doing anything illegal at all and it's not up to us to say how much the fees should be increased . They can't hit us or scold us for it . If it's not agreeable to them, they can just leave . We wouldn't force them to stay . How are you going to deal with Master Lin's shop?"
Liu Guo Qiang paused for nearly thirty seconds, then, he said, "We have to treat everyone equally . His rental fees will be doubled as well . If he doesn't want to pay up, then he can leave . How're things with the promotions department?"
Zhu Xiu Qin smiled . "It's good . There were nearly a hundred companies that came to ask for unit rentals . The details will be sent over to us soon . "
*Dong dong!*
"It's here . Let's see how it went . "
An employee from the promotions department had come over with the relevant doc.u.ments . "Director Liu, Director Zhu, the doc.u.ments have been arranged for you . Please have a look . "
"Not bad . " Liu Guo Qiang nodded as he took the doc.u.ments over from him . "It's not bad after all . There are currently 103 interested parties . Even if the whole of Cloud Street moves away, the stoppage of work would only last a month at most . "
Zhu Xiu Qin laughed, "I told you that there are more than enough interested parties . "
Then, Liu Guo Qiang looked at the promotions department employee . "What is it? If you have something to say, say it . Do not be wishy-washy . "
The employee replied, "Sir, every single one of them asked the same question when they called . "
"What was it?" Liu Guo Qiang was curious . "Please tell me everything at once . Do not give me information in pieces . "
The employee replied, "They asked if they could be nearer to Master Lin's shop . "
Suddenly, Liu Guo Qiang and Zhu Xiu Qin were stunned .
Liu Guo Qiang asked curiously, "Every single one of them?"
The employee replied, "Yeah . "
Then, Liu Guo Qiang looked at Zhu Xiu Qin . This situation didn't seem too good .
*Ding ding!*
The employee's phone rang . He looked at the name on the phone . "This is a customer that I spoke to earlier . "
Zhu Xiu Qin said, "Answer it . Say that Master Lin will be moving away from Cloud Street and see his reaction . "
He answered the phone .
The employee replied, "Don't worry . When there's an available unit, we will definitely contact you . As for Master Lin's shop, the latest piece of information I got was that he might leave Cloud Street…"
"HUH?!"
After hanging up, the employee said, "The customer said that if Master Lin closes his shop, she won't rent it anymore .
Liu Guo Qiang and Zhu Xiu Qin were stunned . They were in disbelief .
It seemed like there was going to be a problem . . .
