Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Do You Want to Play Dirty?_1

If ACT and New Sun go too far in raising the rent and management fees.

If the customers refuse to pay this much and collectively decide to move to the new market in Lyublino, that would be quite a spectacle!

Thus, Maylov dares not take this risk.

Since Wang Ye suggested this idea, he must have a corresponding plan.

He smiled and said, "That’s what I was about to say next. I’ll take care of the Lyublino market. If it doesn’t open for business, all the problems are solved!"

Maylov’s eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Wang Ye.

This kid...

He’s pretty ambitious!

He does not dare to be sneaky anymore, as he suffered a big loss at the hands of Khodorkovsky!

Does Wang Ye have a better idea and can he "defeat" Lyublino without lifting a finger?

Maylov doesn’t think it’s possible because he also knows the situation over there and the power of the consortium behind Lyublino.

They invested heavily with the market almost ready to make big money, how could they willingly close for business!

"What is your plan..." he asked tentatively.

If Wang Ye really intends to play dirty, he doesn’t want to be part of it because it could cause endless trouble in the future.

Wang Ye smiled mysteriously and said, "I can’t reveal that now. Just wait and see. But I’m a law-abiding citizen, I won’t resort to... um, unreasonable means. Besides, if our two markets want to raise prices, we need to wait a while, until the merchants have settled down."

Maylov nodded, feeling that what Wang Ye said was reasonable.

After thinking about it, he finally nodded, "If you can really accomplish that and force Lyublino to close, then I agree to cooperate with you and no longer allow Chinese businessmen to settle in the ACT Market. But there’s still a problem, what about the Chinese businessmen who already bought or rented stores in ACT? I can’t force them out."

Here, he still played a trick.

He can’t give up on Chinese businessmen who account for nearly half of the ACT market!

Wang Ye didn’t mind, and casually said, "Of course you don’t need to drive them out, let the existing merchants make their own choice. If they wish to stay in ACT, let them stay there. If they want to come to New Sun Market, don’t stop them."

A sense of great joy filled Maylov’s heart, according to Wang Ye, this would be beneficial for the ACT Market!

Because from the moment they reach a cooperation agreement, New Sun can only accept Chinese merchants and can’t allow merchants from other countries to do business here.

Of course, ACT can no longer accept Chinese merchants.

But the problem is, the ACT market is now overcrowded!

When the market reopens in a few days, perhaps some Chinese merchants will move to New Sun Market, but that’s not a problem, as the old market is in high demand, new merchants will soon come and fill the gap.

As for New Sun Market, it can take its time with leasing...

"Deal!" Maylov raised his hand.

"Hmm, deal!" Wang Ye also raised his hand.

The two slapped hands, sealing the agreement.

Before leaving, Maylov told Wang Ye, "Let me know when you’re going to take over Xiao Ying Hotel, I’ll have my assistant accompany you to do the handover. I’ll have them expedite the procedures, it should be done in a maximum of three days."

The Xiao Ying Hotel has a new owner, so the new boss definitely needs to make an appearance and meet the hotel management staff.

Wang Ye nodded in understanding, he wasn’t in a hurry to take over the hotel. He would wait until he talked with Kaja, and if she was willing to go to Xiao Ying Hotel, he’d take her with him.

......

As soon as Maylov left, Big Head Kong knocked on the door and came in.

His chubby face was slightly sweaty. Wang Ye took one look and laughed, asking, "It’s not that hot today, have you just been running? Why are you still sweating?"

Early May in Moscow is almost the best climate of the year.

The grass and trees turn green, flowers are in full bloom, the weather is neither cold nor hot.

But it’s obviously not hot enough to make someone sweat.

"Oh, don’t mention it, there are too many people lining up to lease shops downstairs. All the people of our company are involved and it’s a bit too much for us to handle. I just went to help." Big Head Kong took a tissue and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

His words sounded like complaints, but there was unmistakable joy in his tone.

It’s very clear that New Sun Market has suddenly become popular after being previously ignored.

Big Head Kong is also one of the company’s shareholders, so naturally, he is very happy!

Having just discussed his cooperation terms with Maylov, Wang Ye asked him, "Are all the people coming to rent shops Chinese merchants? Are there any people from other countries?"

Big Head Kong considered this for a moment and replied uncertainly, "I don’t think so. After all, our initial advertisements were in Chinese newspapers, and we didn’t aim to attract those Vietnamese people and Russians. Ugh, those guys are poor and cause a lot of trouble!"

Apparently, Big Head Kong also doesn’t like Vietnamese people and Russians...

Wang Ye nodded and said, "You take note of this, I just talked to Maylov from the ACT, our two markets will cooperate in the future. One of the basic conditions is that we only let Chinese businessmen settle in, and they let businessmen from other countries settle in. As for the existing Chinese businessmen in ACT, let’s leave it up to them to decide where they want to go."

Big Head Kong was stunned, he tilted his head and thought for a moment, but he didn’t understand right away who stands to gain from this condition...

But since the boss has decided on this, he just needs to execute, it’s not his place to question anything.

"Alright, I’ll instruct the staff to take note later. If any businessmen from other countries come to rent shops, we’ll reject them directly. I’ll also review all the contracts that have been signed, any that aren’t with Chinese merchants will be voided." Big Head Kong quickly said.

As for merchants whose contracts are cancelled because they aren’t Chinese businessmen and whether they will protest, this is not a concern for Big Head Kong.

This is Russia!

Who gives a damn about reasoning...

......

New Sun Market’s leasing business has indeed been very successful these past couple of days!

It’s only the second day, and Big Head Kong already said that thousands of merchants have signed contracts to settle in the New Sun Market.

Of course, that’s also because the ACT market is closed, plus New Sun doesn’t charge rent or management fees.

Many people are just here to take advantage of the situation. As long as it doesn’t cost them anything, they don’t care whether New Sun Market can do business in the future, they’ll just stake their claim first!

If things don’t work out, they can flee back to the ACT Market.

If things do work out, then they’ve hit the jackpot!

This issue, of course, has also been considered by Wang Ye.

Truth be told, the current booming situation of New Sun Market is due to the perfect combination of timing, location and people.

But whether they can keep these merchants in the future and even make them give up their shops in the ACT market, that requires more work...
