After chatting with these tenants for a few words, Xiao Ran suddenly changed the topic.
"Everyone, since we are going to start digging and cleaning up treasures here today, we will definitely make a lot of noise."
"More importantly, the condition of this treasure is unknown and the underground situation is not very clear. There may be certain dangers."
"There are too many onlookers gathered outside, and those guys are very excited and may do some extreme or dangerous actions."
"For safety reasons, I suggest that everyone move to the nearby Plaza Hotel first and come back after this exploration operation is completely completed."
"After you move to the Plaza Hotel, I will pay for all normal expenses for food, accommodation, and you don't have to pay a penny."
"ah!"
With a cry of exclamation, all the tenants at the scene were stunned.
Several young people and children among them had excited eyes and were obviously tempted.
For them, if they can go to the top Plaza Hotel in New York to have a party, how can they say no?
Several middle-aged people were a little surprised and seemed not very moved.
They are not people who are short of money and may not care about such small favors.
Before they could respond, Xiao Ran continued:
"In addition, I can exempt you from two months' rent on the basis of my previous promise."
"In other words, as long as everyone cooperates with our exploratory actions, the rent for the next four months will be free of charge, including all other expenses."
"You don't have to worry. My security personnel will do their best to ensure the safety of everyone's property."
Hearing this, several middle-aged people couldn't help but feel excited and their eyes were full of joy.
With four months' rent plus gas, water, electricity, and a considerable amount of heating bills, you can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in one go!
Especially in the current depressed situation, it would be a lie to say that you are not excited!
Seeing the changes in the expressions of these tenants, Xiao Ran knew that the matter had been settled.
As long as these tenants can be invited out smoothly, the next thing will be easier to handle, and you can feel more at ease.
Next, he gave several preferential conditions.
Under the attack of a series of sugar-coated bullets, those tenants finally could not resist the temptation.
They all nodded and expressed their willingness to move to the Plaza Hotel for a day or two.
After settling the tenants in Sanmen, Xiao Ran asked Nick to lead people to mobilize other tenants in the apartment building and move them all to the Plaza Hotel temporarily.
The preferential conditions given have not changed and are enough to impress all tenants!
If there are tenants who are unwilling to move out, there are ways to deal with it.
Not only will they not be able to enjoy these preferential conditions, but when the lease expires, the apartment they rent will be taken back and the lease will not be renewed!
Under such circumstances, I believe no one would be stupid enough to refuse such a generous offer!
As soon as Nick took the people away, Sam's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Sean, there is an old man in his 60s or 70s who wants to see you. He says he is the original owner of this apartment building."
"He came here early in the morning and has been waiting for you at the door of the apartment building."
Upon hearing the announcement, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then, he turned to look at Mike standing aside.
"Mike, go out and see what's going on."
"If it is really the original owner, then bring it to the reception area in the basement."
"I don't know what this person's purpose is, he probably regrets it."
"Okay, Sean."
Mike nodded in response and walked towards the main entrance.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged tenant said sympathetically:
"There is indeed old Henry outside the door. He has been here for a while. We asked him to come in, but he refused."
"Don't even think about it. How can he not regret losing such a huge treasure?"
"In just one day, old Henry's hair turned completely white, making him look more than ten years older!"
Xiao Ran looked at the tenant, smiled and shook his head.
"Actually, there is no need to regret it. Even if I had not bought this apartment building, he would not have discovered this treasure buried deep underground."
"Except for me, no one else in the world knows about the existence of this treasure, let alone discovering this treasure accidentally."
"With old Henry's physical and financial situation, it will be a matter of time before he sells this apartment building. Only I can give him the best price!"
After saying that, he led Elaine and David towards the basement without discussing the issue again.
Several tenants were stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say.
They all felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't explain it, so they could only complain secretly!
"You robbed Old Henry, and you still want Old Henry to burst into tears of gratitude? How can this be justified?"
In a moment, Xiao Ran and the others had entered the basement.
There is a spacious leisure area here. Everyone enters directly and chooses to stay here.
Immediately afterwards, three lawyers who arrived in advance and company employees carrying various exploration equipment entered the basement one after another.
After a while, Mike came in with three white people.
Among the three people, there was an old man in his sixties or seventies with white hair and a sad expression.
The other two white men were both in their forties. One of them was in a suit and leather suit, carrying a briefcase, and looked like a lawyer.
No need to ask, the white man in his 60s or 70s is the original owner, Old Henry.
The other two are his son and his personal lawyer.
Seeing them coming in, Xiao Ran and David immediately went over to greet them.
After the meeting, Mike gave an introduction to both parties.
As expected, the other party was the original owner Henry Sr. and his son, who looked like they were coming with bad intentions.
Xiao Ran didn't take it seriously, and always had a warm smile on his face.
After getting to know each other, he took old Henry and others into the small reception area and sat down on the sofa.
As soon as he sat down, Old Henry couldn't wait to get to the point.
"Mr. Sean, I want to repurchase this apartment building. The price can be higher, even if it is doubled. Do you agree?"
"Before this, I didn't know that there was a huge treasure hidden in the apartment building, so I sold this apartment building to you."
as expected!
This person's intestines are probably full of regret, so he wants to repurchase it and plan to recover the loss!
Xiao Ran looked at old Henry and his son, smiled and said:
"Mr. Henry, it seems that you regret it and want to take back this apartment building. This is not impossible!"
"I am very happy to sell this apartment building to you again. If you resell it, you will double the profit. Who would refuse such a good thing?"
"ah!"
Old Henry and the others all exclaimed, and they were all stunned.
This was the answer they most wanted to hear, but when they actually heard it, they couldn't believe it!
They never expected that Xiao Ran would have such an attitude.
Originally, they thought this was a negotiation with almost no hope, a verbal dispute.
But who would have imagined that Xiao Ran agreed so readily.
"Mr. Sean, did I hear you correctly? Are you really willing to sell this apartment building back to me?"
Old Henry said excitedly, his voice trembling.
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"You heard that right, Henry, I am indeed willing to sell this apartment building back to you, but the price will be doubled!"
Before he finished speaking, Old Henry's son suddenly said:
"Why? Aren't you here to explore the treasure?"
"If you sell the apartment building back to us, the treasure hidden here will no longer belong to you."
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, then shook his head gently.
"Gentlemen, you have made some mistakes. Even if I sell this luxury apartment building, it will not affect the ownership of that treasure!"
“That hidden treasure is always mine, that’s for sure and nothing will change!”
"The reason is simple. The treasure is buried deep underground. The ownership of this apartment building and the underground rights are separate, not one."
"In other words, even if you buy back this apartment building, the underground rights of this land are in my hands, and the treasure still belongs to me."
"ah!"
Old Henry and his son exclaimed again, and then they all turned to look at their lawyer.
The private lawyer nodded helplessly.
"That's right, Henry, none of the buildings along 64th Street have subterranean rights."
"The underground rights of this neighborhood should be in the hands of the New York Subway Company."
Hearing this, Old Henry and his son were stunned as if they were struck by lightning. Their faces instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, extremely ugly!
At this moment, Xiao Ran gave them another heavy blow, completely cutting off all their hopes.
"As far as I know, as early as the beginning of the last century, the underground rights of this block had been acquired by the New York Subway Company as a whole."
"When you bought this apartment building in the 1980s, it was very clear that underground rights were not included."
"This treasure hidden deep underground has a history of eighty or ninety years and has nothing to do with you."
"The building that originally stood here was torn down after World War II, and now this apartment building is built on the foundation of the original building."
Old Henry and his son were completely dumbfounded, and their faces became increasingly ugly.
Xiao Ran didn't stop, and continued talking calmly.
"This is enough to show that the treasures buried deep underground have nothing to do with the previous owners of this apartment building."
"I have bought the underground rights of this apartment building from the New York Subway Company. In other words, this treasure now belongs to me."
After the words fell, Old Henry and his son were completely desperate.
The father and son leaned on the sofa in frustration as if they were mourning their heirs.
At this moment, Xiao Ran asked again with a murderous heart.
"The situation has been stated. Are you still willing to pay double the price for this apartment building?"
