Chapter 115: Chapter 115: I Want Three Streets_1

Wang Ye casually crossed his legs and said with a smile, "I want three streets!"

Big Head Kong, who was drinking coffee at the time, was so startled that the coffee spilled out of his cup.

But he didn’t bother cleaning up the coffee-stained trousers. Instead, he stared at Wang Ye with incredulous eyes.

Three streets...

After a moment of silence, he managed to say, "Do you have any idea how many booths there are on three streets?"

"Three hundred," Wang Ye replied calmly.

Big Head Kong leaned forward, asking anxiously, "Manager Wang, you’re not joking, right? Three streets, really?"

"Absolutely!" Wang Ye replied simply.

With that, Big Head Kong immediately stood up, paced around the sofa several times, then stopped abruptly and said through gritted teeth, "If you’re truly buying three streets, I’m going all in. I’ll give you a 40% discount!"

I must say, Big Head Kong is quite the character!

He really is willing to give a discount...

This means that each booth would only cost three thousand US dollars, reducing by two thousand dollars, over three hundred booths, that would be a discount of six hundred thousand dollars!

No matter how you look at it, this discount is enormous!

Others might not have dared to ask for more and would directly make the purchase.

But Wang Ye is no ordinary person...

Contrary to Big Head Kong’s expectation, Wang Ye simply shook his head and said nothing.

Big Head Kong stared at Wang Ye in disbelief and exclaimed, "Manager Wang, are you not satisfied with this price? This is definitely a loss for me. If I’m lying, may I be hit by a car when I leave..."

Before he could finish swearing, he was cut off by Wang Ye.

"Wait, President Kong, I believe you’re taking a loss at this price. But..., I genuinely think the discount is not substantial enough!"

Big Head Kong took a seat, blushing and glaring at Wang Ye, "Then you explain it to me! If I’m selling at a loss, why is the discount still not big enough? Bro, doing business should be win-win. You can’t expect to trap your partner and take all the profits for yourself. That’s not a sustainable way to do business!"

Wang Ye was unfazed as he replied leisurely, "Let me explain it to you. At first glance, your discount seems quite decent. However, upon closer consideration, it is not as it seems."

Big Head Kong, stifling his anger and laughing, spread his hands and said, "Come on, explain to me what you mean."

Since Big Head Kong continued to feign confusion, Wang Ye decided to be frank.

He counter-asked, "If I don’t buy, you will have a hard time selling all these booths within half a year, right?"

Big Head Kong couldn’t dodge this question. The new market had so many booths that it would definitely be impossible to sell them all within half a year.

In fact, forget about half a year, Big Head Kong would be content if he managed to sell everything within a year!

"Approximately, I think it will take about half a year. Bro, you should know, this kind of large market is initially a bit challenging. But once it gets going, the booths are very popular," Big Head Kong replied vaguely.

Ignoring him, Wang Ye continued, "Let me ask you, selling the shops half a year in advance, how much can you make from the management fees alone?"

The management fee for each booth was five hundred US dollars per month!

This was unavoidable. In half a year, specifically six months, the management fee would total three thousand US dollars!

Upon this calculation, Big Head Kong’s two thousand dollars discount for each booth seemed a bit inadequate...

Having been "ruthlessly" exposed by Wang Ye, Big Head Kong felt somewhat embarrassed. He forced a laugh, "Ah...right! I forgot about that! But bro, you also have to understand that these management fees do not go into our pockets! Keeping the market safe and running isn’t cheap. Those Russians, they are all so greedy!"

Wang Ye didn’t argue with him over this. Instead, he said, "Actually, if I buy the booths on the three streets, I can bring you even greater benefits!"

"What benefits?" Big Head Kong asked skeptically.

"I can fill these three streets with merchants in no time, boosting the market’s popularity! The significance of this for the entire New Sun Market, I believe, needs no further explanation," Wang Ye replied with a smile.

At this point, Big Head Kong was genuinely excited.

Truth be told, if he had to choose between selling the booths and driving up their popularity, Big Head Kong would choose the latter without the slightest hesitation!

Because in a wholesale market, popularity is everything!

Once the market becomes popular, who would worry about inability to sell the booths?

By then, the primary concern might not be about offering discounts, but about how much to raise the price...

"Really? Manager Wang, are you that confident?" Big Head Kong asked eagerly.

"Of course, don’t forget that once I buy the three streets, I will be just as eager as you to see the market take off quickly. Or else, wouldn’t I be paying all these management fees for nothing?" Wang Ye replied candidly.

On this point, Big Head Kong harbored no doubts.

Indeed, if Wang Ye did buy the three streets, that would be three hundred booths and he would have to pay one hundred and fifty thousand US dollars in management fees each month!

No matter if his shops had started doing business or not, the management fees would still have to be paid...

So by then, Wang Ye and himself would be in the same boat, sharing both honor and disgrace...

Realizing this, Big Head Kong broke into a radiant smile, "Haha, since Manager Wang has said so, I’m eager to listen to your proposal. What price are you willing to accept?"

Not wanting to beat around the bush anymore, Wang Ye gave his expected price, holding up two fingers as he said, "Two thousand US dollars per booth and two months of waived management fees, then I’ll take all three streets!"

Well, he’s really cutting to the bone!

This wasn’t a mere cut to the waist but cutting straight to the "ankles"!

The original price was five thousand US dollars, he cut off three thousand US dollars.

Plus two months of management fees, that’s another thousand US dollars.

All in all, he was demanding Big Head Kong to offer him a discount of four thousand dollars...

Sweat began to bead on Big Head Kong’s forehead. He looked rather indecisive, his mind racing to consider whether he could accept the price that Wang Ye had offered.

On the one hand, the idea of selling three hundred booths on three streets was immensely appealing to him!

Of course, not to mention the promise Wang Ye just made about quickly driving up the market’s popularity.

On the other hand, the price Wang Ye was asking was almost equivalent to giving the booths away for free. Even as one of the investors of the market, this exceeded his authority!

Would the major shareholders behind him agree?

That was also a serious consideration!

...

After hesitating for quite some time, Big Head Kong finally said dejectedly, "Manager Wang, could you perhaps allow me to make a phone call to discuss this? This matter is of great magnitude. I, alone, cannot make this decision and need to consult with the shareholders."

Wang Ye was of course indifferent and noddingly expressed his consent.

Big Head Kong then rushed to grab his phone and hurried out of the room...
