Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"Huh? I'm leaving right after I arrived!"

Jin Yaner looked at Li Shuo walking towards her with a confused look on her face and was speechless for a moment.

Xu Ji came to her side, grabbed her hand and walked out. Jin Yaner muttered softly: "What? You said you wanted to buy it..."

"Silence"

Before she could finish, Xu Ji gave her a sharp look and Jin Yaner suddenly fell silent.

"Hold on"

At this moment, the owner walked up quickly and smiled for the first time: "Hey, President, why are you in such a hurry? Although many people have seen it, none of them are like you... I can tell at a glance that you really want to buy it. If you are sure you want to buy it today, and can even pay the full amount, then we can sit down and have a good talk..."

Hearing this, Xu Ji smiled. Jin Yan'er looked at the group of people in the room with a look of sudden enlightenment: they were locals, and they immediately understood that this was a means for the owners to drive up the house prices. I'm afraid 99% of the people here were not here to buy shops!

Li Shuo turned around and said simply, "Clear out the irrelevant people first."

The words were still not made clear, but the owner understood instantly: people had already seen through this little trick.

But it doesn’t matter, compared to the shop price of 500 billion won, everything is a small matter!

"The president has good eyesight!"

The owner laughed loudly and waved to the others, "Please step aside, guests."

Everyone left without saying much. Li Shuo didn't even comment on this. He just said, "If you want to pay in full today, give me a real price!"

"Hey, don't worry, come on, everyone, please take a seat and have some tea..."

The owner called out to them, but Li Shuo didn't say anything and no one moved.

Seeing this, he looked at Li Shuo and said, "President, such a big deal can't be concluded overnight, right?"

He is also a business owner, and his company is valued at tens of billions of won, so he thinks it is normal for big deals to take a week or two to negotiate.

Li Shuo said calmly, "As long as both parties are sincere, no matter how big the deal is, it can be concluded quickly! My time is limited, so I came here with sincerity. I just don't know what you think?"

The owner smiled a little more when he heard this. He hired people to drive up the price of the shop because he naturally wanted to sell it.

"President, you're right. I won't waste any more words. For 510 billion, this shop will be yours!"

Before Li Shuo opened his mouth, Qian Xiaolu immediately raised her voice according to the normal business negotiation routine: "Chairman Gu, you have to show your sincerity. 510 billion is the routine price you just mentioned!"

The owner said flatly: "Yes, that's right, but I think it will rise again in two days, so I included its increase in the next week!"

He looked at Li Shuo, waiting for him to bargain.

Jin Yaner pulled Xu Ji and whispered, "It looks like we have discussed something..."

Xu Ji nodded in agreement: "After all, it's a 500 billion dollar business. Even for a real chaebol, this is a huge sum!"

Just as she was about to walk to the side with her daughter to carefully appreciate the interior decoration of this huge store, she heard Li Shuo say steadily and forcefully: "510 billion! Let's sign the contract today, Yan'er, please prepare!"

"what?"

Jin Yaner was speechless with shock. Such a huge sum of money was actually given just like that!

The key point is that the other party obviously wants a higher price! No matter how you look at it, it seems like both parties colluded and deliberately acted, right?

Xu Ji also frowned, but she didn't think she was acting. The "little conflict" between the owner and Li Shuo just now was not a lie, and the store had an excellent location in Jiangnan District. If she looked back and checked, she would know whether the person in front of her was the real owner or not. He couldn't lie!

The owner was also shocked. He suspected that he had underpriced the price. He looked at Li Shuo and asked tentatively, "Really? 510 billion in cash?"

Li Shuo asked indifferently: "Why? Do you think it can still increase by more than 510 billion in the next week? If you don't want to, you can still regret it before the contract is signed!"

"No, no, no, I thought..."

The owner quickly took back his words halfway through. He felt that he was too excited and almost revealed his true feelings.

"What else did you think? I would bargain?"

Li Shuo sneered, looking disdainful at him: "It's only a difference of 10 billion, I'll give it to you! My time is more valuable than you think!"

This performance actually made the owner feel relieved, thinking: He looks like a second-generation chaebol? From this point of view, there seems to be nothing wrong.

Li Shuo turned his head and looked at Xu Ji and the other two girls: "Yan'er?"

Jin Yaner raised her eyebrows and was about to say "Why do you keep calling me?", then she felt Xu Ji pinching her hand and then walked towards Li Shuo: "I'm here, I'll draw up the contract right away."

Only then did she realize that the "Jin Yaner" in Li Shuo's eyes was Xu Ji. It was just because of a joke they made during their first blind date that Li Shuo nicknamed Xu Ji "President Xu", not because he knew her true identity.

"Wait, sister, let me help you."

Such a small matter naturally cannot be left to Xu Ji...

The owner was waiting anxiously for Jin Yaner to draft the contract, while Qian Xiaolu and Han Enqing, with the employees of Shuoguo Asset Management, began to check the facilities and data in the house: these had been checked before, but now that the contract was signed and the house was to be handed over, they naturally had to confirm it again.

Only Li Shuo and Xu Ji were idle. The former held out his hand to her: "Do you want to go upstairs and take a look?"

"Okay." Xu Ji placed her little hand in his palm and smiled sweetly.

The shop was very deep, and in the middle was a medium-sized spiral escalator. The two of them stepped on it, and Xu Ji casually started a conversation: "This escalator is imported, and it looks new. Do you want to replace it?"

"Of course not. Running a company still requires streamlining finances, and I'm not the kind of person who throws money around."

In Xu Ji's gaze of "Are you sure?", Li Shuo smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. The reason why I readily agreed to the owner's price is because it is not too high: although this street-side shop will indeed reach 510 billion in a week, the current market price is more than 505 billion. The difference is not big. Since I am optimistic about it, I don't mind paying this little difference."

"However, running a company is different from buying and selling real estate. Buying this place can be considered an investment. I am sure that I will not lose money on this investment and may even make a profit in the future. However, when running a company, funds will continue to flow out during the operation process. At this time, I naturally have to make good use of every penny!"

As they talked, the two arrived at the second floor. Li Shuo pointed at the escalator behind him that was still running silently and commented:

"According to the information found by Shuoguo Assets, the previous tenant here was a tenant who gave up the lease because he could not afford the high rent. He operated this place for a very short time, and the escalators and other facilities were installed only after 10 years. Naturally, this new stuff can be used directly!"

"In addition to escalators, there are also fire protection, electricity, air conditioning and other facilities, which are extremely suitable for our luxury stores and can be used directly. This alone can save more than 10 billion yuan in expenses for the new store."

“So even if you buy it now at a premium, it’s still a good deal.”

If Jin Yaner heard these words, she would definitely curl her lips, thinking that this man seemed to be a generous tycoon on the surface, but was actually so calculating and she would feel that he was a bit stingy.

Xu Ji, however, runs her own law firm. She knows very well that starting a business is not easy, especially in the early stages of a business, where money is often spent like water and one may face bankruptcy at any time. At this moment, she looked at Li Shuo with a radiant gaze and could not help but exclaim:

"I am now very sure that you, President, are indeed the first generation to build a large group. Only those who have started a business personally know that the money you earn now is not easy to come by. Even if you have a net worth of billions, you will cherish it very much!"

Li Shuo was surprised and said seriously: "President Xu, I misjudged you!"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, she saw Li Shuo grinning: "Didn't you already confirm that I was not a liar when I agreed to buy this street-side shop?"

Xu Ji laughed dumbly: "That's true, I was wrong..."

Once the "misunderstanding" is resolved, ordinary men will take the initiative to attack, and at least ask "What do you think of our blind date?"

Li Shuo knew that this was a wrong approach, as it would hand over the initiative to someone else. He simply asked about the shop agreement and other related matters calmly:

"In South Korea, how many contracts are needed to transfer the property rights of a shop? When can the property certificate be issued? After obtaining the certificate, can I apply for a mortgage loan immediately?"

Hearing that it was her professional field, Xu Ji immediately entered "working mode" and explained...

Finally, she couldn't help but be curious and asked an extra question: "After getting the shop, will the president immediately mortgage it for a loan?"

"Of course, otherwise wouldn't the funds be invested in just this one store? Since we are optimistic about the real estate market in Jiangnan District, we naturally have to use the biggest lever to maximize the efficiency of fund use."

This is the most mainstream view in South Korea, where investment is prevalent.

So Xu Ji nodded repeatedly and couldn't help asking, "Are you really that optimistic? Actually, I have some money on hand..."

Having said this, she paused again: Although she has confirmed that Li Shuo is not a liar, and has also witnessed his strength today, she always feels that it is not safe to suddenly talk about investment.

Li Shuo immediately waved his hand and said seriously: "Don't follow others in investing. This is extremely hurtful. If you make money, it will be good for you and me, but if you lose money, then we won't even be friends anymore!"

"Oh"

Xu Ji knew this and nodded silently.

"My Shuoguo Asset Management is qualified to accept investments from others. In China, I will work hard to attract customers' funds! But those people are just customers..."

When Li Shuo finished speaking, Xu Ji's heart beat faster, wanting to hear the second half, such as "But you are different. I cherish the relationship between us and even want to develop further with you."

But Li Shuo didn't continue, and even changed the subject, saying, "Why does the second floor feel bigger than the first? Is it my illusion?"

Xu Ji laughed: "A shop of 400 to 500 square meters is a department store-level property. It's hard to even see the edge at a glance. Moreover, the first floor has many more public areas than the second floor, so naturally the second and third floors are larger..."

South Korea, Hong Kong Island and other regions are greatly influenced by China. The property area is calculated in "ping", and each ping is approximately 3.33 square meters.

Li Shuo smiled and said, "The third floor is about 1000 square meters. That means it's about million won per square meter. What do you think of this price?"

"Of course it's great. You know, the median salary in South Korea is 2000 million, and you can buy a square meter at only half the price..."

Xu Ji talked eloquently, which surprised Li Shuo: "I didn't expect you to know this?"

"Lawyers have encountered all kinds of cases, so naturally they have to know a little bit about everything. But this is a shop. If it were a residence, the price would be at least 2000 million per square meter..."

"In the early stages of the real estate boom, residential prices are indeed higher, but when it starts to overheat or even bubble, street shops will be more expensive because a large amount of investment capital will enter the market, and most of them will target shops with investment properties..."

“You’re right, but real estate prices in South Korea’s capital have been rising for two years. Who knows what the future will hold?”

"Look more at government planning..."

Even when talking about such boring topics, the two were very passionate, and would even stubbornly retort a sentence or two when the conversation got deep into it.

When Jin Yaner and Han Enqing walked upstairs, they saw this scene:

"In the next five years, shop prices will never catch up with residential prices!" Xu Ji said firmly.

Li Shuo retorted: "No, according to the current monetary easing trend of the South Korean central bank, within three years, the price will surpass it..."

“Even if we overtake, it should be in a better location and area!”

“Isn’t Gangnam good enough?”

"Longshan District is the core!"

"Tsk, that's Lao Mi's territory, are you sure South Korea can help?"

"Humph! The Chinese are not worth having a say with!"

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you starting a regional attack while you're talking?"

Jin Yaner stared at Xu Ji, who looked like an angry little girl, in amazement. She rubbed her eyes hard and even wanted to pinch herself: Is this really the dignified and solemn biological mother in the law firm whose words are hers?

Han Enqing stepped forward at the right time and said, "President, the agreement has been drafted and the headquarters has reviewed it. There is no problem!"

"it is good"

Li Shuo responded, turned his head and saw Xu Ji looking unhappy. He naturally grabbed her hand and said softly, "Okay, it's just a small matter, don't be angry."

"Don't pull me!" Xu Ji pretended to shake him off, but Li Shuo's hands tightened and she couldn't break free.

"If it were an ordinary woman, I would tell her that what you said is right... But in my heart, President Xu is different from ordinary women. You are more rational and wise. So, let's make a bet, okay?"

Xu Ji really stopped struggling, stared at him and asked, "What's the bet?"

"It's too long and uncertain to predict its price in the next few years, so let's just bet on the market price of the street shops in two months. I bet it will be more than 2 billion!"

Xu Ji's first reaction was disbelief: "Are you crazy? You want to make 2% in 10 months?"
