Reborn in 2000: I just want to love a few people properly.

"This is a business owned by one of our school's teachers. They are going abroad soon, so they want to dispose of their assets in China."

Upon arriving at the Fenglin campus, the group walked north for one street and then reached the shop that the aunt had mentioned.

The signboard at the entrance, with the words "Italian Casual Dining" in large characters, is very eye-catching, but it has accumulated some dust because the door is locked.

"The area is about 300 square meters, but less than 400 square meters. Although this is an old residential area, the area is already considered very large among the surrounding shops."

Looking around at the bustling crowd, Xu Bo was satisfied with the place, but the environment inside was still unknown.

"We just need a shop. We've been to every mall these past two days, and there isn't a single empty space. Plus, they're asking for two million, and you have to wait in line and make a reservation."

Looking at the shop in front of him, Xu Bo couldn't help but complain.

"That's normal. Shanghai is not like Hangzhou. Land here is extremely valuable, but there are also more opportunities to make money."

My aunt spoke softly beside me, her fingers flying across the keyboard as if she were typing.

"My friend will be here soon; he just came out of school."

People can be seen sitting on the ground on the streets of Shanghai at any time.

Xu Bo got tired of standing, so he took out cigarettes from his pocket, took out four, and handed them to the three people next to him.

Sitting on the curb, Xu Bo began to observe the flow of people at a milk tea shop across the street.

In just over ten minutes, thirteen people had already gone in, and each of them came out holding a cup of milk tea.

Xu Bo has sharp eyesight and noticed that the cheapest cup on the sign across the street costs more than ten yuan.

Taking into account utilities, rent, and labor costs, Xu Bo estimates that the gross profit margin should be between 40% and 50%.

In other words, the other party's boss made more than fifty yuan in those ten minutes.

A small shop with an area of ​​less than 40 square meters can make a profit of about 2,000 yuan a day.

Even if there are some discrepancies, Xu Bo estimated that they shouldn't be too far off.

"Here he comes." Just as Xu Bo was lost in thought, a man ran from the street corner.

The shorts paired with long white socks looked strange to Xu Bo no matter how he looked at it.

"This is Professor Chen from our School of Marxism."

When my aunt saw her friend arrive, she quickly introduced them.

When shaking hands, Xu Bo could feel that the other person's hand was very delicate, and that the other person held his hand for a longer time.

"It's over!" Xu Bo thought to himself, especially after hearing the slight Sichuan and Chongqing accent in the other person's speech, which made his suspicions even stronger.

They unlocked the door and went inside. It was a simple first-floor space, but the functional areas were clearly divided.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, Xu Bo took a quick look and found no problems. As for the dining area, all that was needed was to repaint the walls.

The ceiling is openwork, so it needs to be reinstalled.

"My shop is in a very good location," the man said, speaking with a local accent.

"If it weren't for Teacher Li's introduction, I wouldn't have been planning to make a purchase yet. The housing prices here will definitely keep going up in the future."

The man spoke with a delicate, orchid-like gesture, his expression full of pride.

Seeing this, Yu Haoqi and Song Leisong didn't dare to go forward. They both hid behind Xu Bo and pretended to look at the store environment.

"This house was bought by my family and is registered in my name. If you want to buy it, it will cost 2.6 million."

Teacher Chen began to speak, and Xu Bo was somewhat confused.

"Excuse me, we're here to rent, not to buy."

As Xu Bo spoke, he glanced at Li Yahan, indicating that there was a difference in their conversation.

"What's going on? Teacher Li, didn't I say I needed to deal with my domestic assets? I meant I wanted to sell them. If I were just renting them out, so many people wanted to rent this shop before, would I have waited until now?"

Seeing their reactions, Teacher Chen understood what was going on and quickly turned to Li Yahan, speaking with slight dissatisfaction.

"Teacher Li, you know my situation. What you're doing is a complete waste of my time."

Seeing that something had happened, Li Yahan quickly tried to comfort him in a low voice, then pulled Xu Bo aside and whispered something to him.

"That's his situation. He only sells the house, not rents it out. If I hadn't said that, he wouldn't have come out. The rest is up to you."

After speaking to Xu Bo, the aunt turned to Teacher Chen and said...

"This child is a relative of mine. He is studying in Hangzhou, and his family supports him to do some business to gain experience."

"It was my fault this time, please forgive me. I'll treat you to a meal when you have time," the aunt quickly lowered her tone and begged for forgiveness in a low voice.

"Teacher Chen, we were wrong this time. Let me apologize to you first."

Seeing that he had become the protagonist of this negotiation, Xu Bo remained calm and sat down in his chair to speak.

"Let me tell you, I'm only considering selling this house, not renting it out. The price is 2.6 million, no bargaining."

Teacher Chen twirled her fingers and picked at her nails as she spoke softly.

Xu Bo did not respond immediately, but thought for a moment before speaking.

"Mr. Chen, I know you want to settle abroad, so you want to properly liquidate all your assets in China. But I'm sorry, I can't afford to pay the full amount for your house right now."

Upon hearing Xu Bo's words, Teacher Chen immediately stood up, grabbed her backpack, and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Teacher Chen," Xu Bo called out to Teacher Chen.

Standing at the door, Old Chen looked at Li Yahan outside, forcibly suppressing his anger, and said coldly without turning his head.

"If you can't afford it, don't waste my time here."

Xu Bo also got up, walked to Teacher Chen's side, gently pressed Teacher Chen's shoulder and said.

"I can't afford to buy it now, but I'm definitely going to take this house!"

Xu Bo handed the documents to Teacher Chen and then continued.

"Our company, Hailaolao, currently has two million yuan in cash on hand, and a well-established supply chain. One of our stores in Hangzhou has a daily turnover of over ten thousand yuan and a profit margin of forty percent."

"Currently, two new stores in Hangzhou are under renovation, and two stores in Nanjing are also preparing to open."

"We expect to open successfully within a month. You can go back to the school and ask around. Surely some of the students there have heard of the Hai Lao Lao hot pot brand. I am absolutely confident, which is why I dare to stand here and talk to you."

Teacher Chen sneered as he listened, and then spoke.

"What does this have to do with me? Even if your hot pot restaurant is doing well, what does it have to do with me? I just want to sell this house. If you can't afford it, don't talk to me anymore!"

The moment he opened the door, Xu Bo stopped him.

"Keep it a secret, Teacher Chen, you haven't heard all my conditions yet. We can sign the contract now, you sell this house to me, and we'll cover all the expenses incurred."

"Of course, paying in full right now is impossible. If possible, I hope you can give me a chance."

"I will purchase this house for you in installments. For the first two years, I will pay you the market rental price each year. In the third year, I will pay you a lump sum of 1.5 million. In this way, over three years, your return will definitely be more cost-effective than selling it directly."

"If you agree, my lawyer will sign the contract right here."

Attorney Ma stepped forward at the opportune moment and looked at Teacher Chen intently.

Although he remained outwardly calm, Teacher Chen was already calculating in his mind.

"Based on market prices, I could easily rent out this house for 600,000 to 700,000 yuan a year, around 1.5 million yuan in two years, and another 1.5 million yuan in the third year, totaling 3 million yuan, which is 400,000 yuan more than the price I quoted."

Settling abroad means you want to get as much money as possible. Even though it's troublesome, it's still worth it to get an extra 400,000 over three years.

After thinking it over carefully, Teacher Chen said to Xu Bo.

"Let's sit down and talk."
