Chapter 2095 The Business Wisdom of the New Era is Too Profound

Logically, the cheaper the rent for a storefront, the better, as the reduced costs themselves become part of the profit.

however……

Information exchange is based on the "megabyte" unit; registering a company is as easy as smoking a cigarette; company bankruptcy and liquidation are as frequent as children playing house; the pressure of business competition is like a raging flood; and many bosses, big and small, are experiencing depression and other psychological problems to varying degrees. These new-era business factors are "coupled" together, gradually giving rise to many new business "routines." Some people, in order to achieve certain goals that can only be done but not spoken of, inevitably harbor some special intentions within these business "routines."

Having dealt with all sorts of wealthy people every day, Bian Mu has unconsciously come to know some of the little "tricks" in the local business district of Lijin.

Complete strangers, yet Bian Mu won the Qi family's favor simply because he gave Ms. Qi a relatively accurate diagnosis?! Out of gratitude? Out of respect? A successful male boss in the Qi family casually offered Bian Mu a rent reduction of tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan?!

The Qi family is a well-known business empire in the area. Their very blood seems to have a golden hue. Calculation, cost-effectiveness, and profit-seeking are all naturally ingrained in their very being. Even if Bian Mu is a medical genius, he is still an outsider, and outsiders should be accounted for according to outsiders' standards!

The Qi family's "account books" were incredibly thick and layered, far beyond what a young man like Bian Mu, from a humble background, could imagine. Their accounting strategies and methods were completely beyond Bian Mu's comprehension. In short, even when the Qi family members were asleep at night, if they were to do some calculations in their minds, ordinary people would be no match for them. Bian Mu was always very clear-headed about this and never indulged in any unrealistic fantasies.

Grandma Lin's encounter was a stroke of incredible luck; most people wouldn't encounter such a thing even once in their lifetime. Bian Mu was absolutely incredibly lucky last time. Could Lady Luck be on his side again?!

Anyone who believes this is a pig!
Nowadays, Bian Mu's comprehensive abilities in stock trading, accounting, business management, and many other aspects are no less than those of any ordinary businessman. Although he still cannot see through the "goodwill" of the Qi family, which is tinged with some kind of scheming, and he has no way of knowing the specific details of the most crucial logic, he can clearly see the special "sprouts of the heart" revealed in the eyes of every member of the Qi family. This is something that, apart from the forest ranger Lao Liangtou who knows a little about it, no one else who has actually come into contact with Bian Mu has noticed at all.

Therefore, in Bian Mu's view, the Qi siblings' trip today was a waste of time.

"Excuse me! That gentleman over there, surnamed Gu, is also a very outstanding traditional Chinese medicine doctor. We need to discuss some important matters, so I won't keep you any longer. Also, I forgot to mention something. After parting ways with Ms. Qi, my partners and I did some detailed research, and the property you have isn't really suitable for us. I've been busy seeing patients all day, and my brain is a bit foggy. I was so focused on discussing the rent with you guys that I forgot about this. I'm truly sorry!" As she spoke, Bian Mu showed no intention of sitting down again, but stood to the side, ready to politely see the three of them out.

With an awkward smile, Ms. Qi and the other two exchanged a few polite words with Bian Mu. After chatting and laughing, Bian Mu very politely saw them off. Unlike before, this time Bian Mu did not watch them leave at all and immediately turned around and went back to the lobby on the first floor of the clinic.

"See? He never intended to rent our house. I heard this guy is really something else, with a very deep background! And he's involved in Beiqi, Nanjin, Jinghai and other places. You've seen it for yourself! His cunning is as deep as the sea!" Mr. Qi's wife turned her head and watched Bian Mu walk back to the clinic without hesitation, and said a few words in a somewhat resentful tone.

"Xiao Fu! Didn't you say he was easy to talk to? What's wrong? He's offering so much discount and he still thinks we're not sincere enough? What does he mean?" Boss Qi asked casually.

“Brother! Maybe he’s too smart. My sister-in-law said he might actually have a very powerful background. He might be thinking of other benefits besides the rent. Anyway, there are some things we didn’t tell him outright! Don’t let his young age fool you, he’s got quite a bit of experience!” Ms. Qi replied with a smile.

"I see... Then we can only wait for him to come back to us. Apart from the old Lin family's ancestral home he's currently renting, I don't believe there's any location in Lijin City that can surpass our street-front shop! Right? The fact that it has a high-end elevator alone eliminates half of them. The Lin family's house is nice, but it's so inconvenient without an elevator!" The boss, Ms. Qi, seemed to realize something. "Let's leave these things to fate!" Ms. Qi needed Bian Mu's help right now, so she naturally couldn't speak carelessly in front of her relatives.

"Alright! Let's go to Four Seasons Harbor for some tea! Whatever happens, happens! There are plenty of famous doctors in Lijin City, not just him. What's with all the arrogance? Let's go!" After making a few minor complaints, Boss Qi took the lead and headed towards the parking lot.

The chauffeur, seeing his boss and his entourage approaching from afar, quickly got out of the car and opened both doors...

……

"You're just going to send them away like that? Is that really going to work?" Gu Yuefeng asked with a complicated expression.

"It's tough! There are probably a lot of traps hidden in the agreement. It's quite tiring to do business with this owner. Lijin City is so big, why do you have to rent his house, right? Come on! Have some hot drinks!" As she spoke, Bian Mu moved the tea on the table aside and replaced it with a large pot of red bean paste hot drinks.

The Qi family didn't even wait for the tea to be poured before Bian Mu saw them out. It wasn't convenient to drink tea in the evening, so Bian Mu specially brought over another pot of hot drinks that he had prepared for himself. To him, Gu Yuefeng was indeed one of his own.

"The rent must be quite expensive, right?" Gu Yuefeng asked casually, somewhat disgruntled.

"Nearly 50! The location is truly excellent, the feng shui... no, I still need to practice my counting rods more. How could I forget to consider the crucial element of 'human harmony'? My apologies, my apologies!"

"Then... let's find another place?"

"No! It's still on that street. Find another landlord!"

"Oh! So you're saying that Dr. Sun and the others have passed your scrutiny?" Gu Yuefeng's tone revealed a hint of sourness.

"Hahaha... I already told you, you're one of us. I've never backed down from opening a branch, but good things often come with difficulties! Opening a clinic and practicing medicine is also a business, and the intricacies hidden in the business world these days are no simpler than reading a person's pulse. I have to be extremely patient and eliminate at least 12% of the less-than-honorable things deep down in the hearts of all those involved. Don't misunderstand! You're not on that blacklist!" Bian Mu replied frankly.

Hearing this, Gu Yuefeng's expression softened somewhat.
