Chapter 84 I want to ask him what he really means!
Old Ma said with a bitter face, "Don't tell me you don't have inside information."
"They stopped allowing us to open yesterday, but nobody took it seriously yesterday afternoon. Then we heard last night that some of our competitors were facing fines of over 100,000 yuan, or their computers would be confiscated and their shops would be sealed off."
Seals aren't just pasted on randomly; once they're on, they're not easy to remove, and it's illegal for anyone to do so.
"I was so scared that I closed it last night and didn't dare to open it. I came here today to wait for regular customers. I can only greet them when they come, so that they won't not know the situation and stop coming."
Old Ma put his heart into this business. Even though the shop couldn't be closed, he was still thinking about how to make sure customers wouldn't stop coming back.
Jiang Cheng asked, "What's the situation with the new store next door that you mentioned opening in a couple of days?"
Old Ma was full of grievances. When Jiang Cheng asked, he also wanted to complain, saying, "I was standing right next to it a while ago... Look, you see this sign upstairs? It's mine."
"I cleared out a large space on the second floor to open a big internet cafe. It's all renovated and I was ready to open, but he said I need an operating license..."
Oh open?
Jiang Cheng almost burst out laughing.
This is a potential client.
"Old Ma, you don't want your new internet cafe to go bankrupt, do you?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Old Ma shook his head. "Sigh, if I had been more careful when you came that day, this wouldn't have happened... Now we can only try to find someone..."
Before Old Ma could finish speaking, a man walked over and said hurriedly, "I just went to ask. The internet cafe owner on the east side agreed to sell the ID, but that old guy asked for 280,000 yuan and wouldn't budge on the price. Fatty Liu from the east side of the city made the decision and went to transfer the money on the spot, saying he wanted to buy it!"
Although Jiang Cheng didn't touch the people they mentioned, he understood that people in the internet cafe circle were already getting permits everywhere, and the transaction price reached 280,000.
Old Ma quickly gave his partner a hand and a wink!
Then his gaze turned to Jiangcheng.
"Young man, you came to buy a certificate the other day, but I couldn't find one here. Did you manage to buy one elsewhere?"
In other places, Jiangcheng actually bought three properties, but the change of ownership procedures were completed. However, the process was much slower than the certificate processing procedure that Zheng Youwei had initiated.
So it will take a few days to receive it.
Jiang Cheng didn't want to go into too much detail.
So he said, "I couldn't buy any, but I have some at home."
That's right, he has seven at home!
Old Ma's eyes lit up. He was a shrewd man. He had talked to Jiang Cheng for so long just because Jiang Cheng was young. He wanted to build a relationship with him first before getting down to business.
After all, Jiangcheng had been acquiring documents before, so it's highly likely that he already possesses the necessary documents!
"Young man, you've seen my situation, and you'd like to buy one. Will you name a price?" Old Ma asked.
Jiang Cheng said, "You just said that other people's documents are selling for 280,000, and I'm selling mine for 250,000. Is that too much to ask?"
To be honest, Jiang Cheng himself had no recollection of the exact value of the documents at that time.
I just remember there was such a thing, and then I saw some articles saying numbers like two or three hundred thousand.
Now that we have a reference point, 250,000 is still acceptable for Jiangcheng.
After all, I have seven books!
The right thing to do is to get out of here as soon as possible.
"Do you really have it?" asked Lao Ma's partner.
Old Ma quickly pulled him back.
The partner didn't know Jiang Cheng's situation, but he did.
Old Ma said, "To be honest, this price is a bit high. When you bought it that day, I estimated that the price would be at most 10,000 or 20,000. This is ten times the price. You've made a lot of money."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Even if the price is low, I don't plan to sell it. I'll keep it to open my own internet cafe and make money. Now that everyone can't open one, as long as I have the license, I can open a big one and the business will be booming. It won't be long before I double my money back."
Old Ma was in a dilemma; his partner had just mentioned someone else's price.
Others pay 28, Jiangcheng pays 25, these are already low prices.
Moreover, what Jiang Cheng said was true. If he had the capital and the necessary permits, opening an internet cafe would definitely be more profitable.
Moreover, you could open a large internet cafe and never have to worry about not having business.
That's one aspect. On the other hand, even if the price of the documents drops in the future, we'll still make a huge profit.
Because people who go online all know each other, if you open a large internet cafe while other internet cafes are closing down, you'll steal all the customers. Even if other internet cafes open later...
These customers won't go anymore; they'll still be surfing the internet at your internet cafe.
This is the first-mover advantage of internet cafes!
"How about I discuss this with my partner? Don't rush off, let's settle this today, okay?" Old Ma was serious and couldn't show any indifference.
Therefore, the old-fashioned approach of recklessly lowering prices is no longer viable.
The important thing now is to negotiate this way and see if we can get a lower price, and at the same time reach an agreement with our partners to buy Jiangcheng's permits.
If Jiang Cheng leaves and the documents are bought by someone else, who knows what might happen next.
"Okay, I'll wait for you guys for a bit, it's fine." Jiang Cheng stood to the side with his bag on his back.
It's a business deal worth over 200,000 yuan, mainly in cash, so it'll be fine in a little while.
Across the street.
Zhou Chuyao, the white moonlight of Jiangcheng, is shopping with her best friend Su Xiaoli.
At this time, Zhou Chuyao looked thinner than when she graduated from high school.
However, her bone structure appears more beautiful, and she looks more innocent.
"Jiang Cheng?" Zhou Chuyao saw Jiang Cheng and unconsciously stopped in her tracks.
During this period, the boy who used to be so obedient to her blocked her number and stopped contacting her. It's impossible not to feel something when you see him on the street.
Sun Xiaoli followed Zhou Chuyao's gaze and saw Jiang Cheng as well.
"Heh, I thought he wasn't in Yancheng anymore. Let's see how long he can keep this up before he apologizes to me," Zhou Chuyao said with a cold snort.
what?
Sun Xiaoli stood to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
She really didn't know what to say.
Last time, Zhou Chuyao asked her to go to an intersection to find Jiang Cheng, and she went.
As a result, the things Jiang Cheng said to her, and the look and expression in his eyes when he said them, made Sun Xiaoli feel that Jiang Cheng really didn't like Zhou Chuyao anymore and wouldn't come looking for her again.
Not only that, Jiang Cheng also has two beautiful women by his side.
But Sun Xiaoli didn't tell Zhou Chuyao what Jiang Cheng said; she couldn't bear to.
"let's go."
Zhou Chuyao paused for a few seconds and then spoke.
Sun Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief; she was terrified that Zhou Chuyao would suddenly say she was going to cause trouble for Jiang Cheng.
That would be very awkward, and Zhou Chuyao would also feel very embarrassed.
If Zhou Chuyao doesn't go over there, then everything will be fine.
We'll talk about the future later. Anyway, it won't be long before everyone goes to university.
Given enough time, things will probably just pass.
After taking a few steps, Zhou Chuyao suddenly stopped and said, "No, I have to go and ask him what he means!"
