"too much."
Upon hearing the number 550,000, Chen Fan showed no unnecessary emotional changes on his face. Let the woman opposite him not guess what he is thinking.
"First of all, computers are consumables and can be updated very quickly."
"Especially if you open an Internet cafe, your computer performance requirements are even more stringent. Once your computer performance cannot keep up, you will immediately be overtaken by other peers."
"So, to me, these computers in your Internet cafe are not valuable. Maybe I will have to reconsider replacing them all with new computers in a year."
"And the most valuable asset of an Internet cafe is the computer..."
At this point, Chen Fan stopped and looked at the woman opposite.
"So, the price you offered is a bit bullying because I am not from the industry."
The woman looked at Chen Fan in surprise. Within ten minutes of meeting him, Chen Fan had surprised him several times.
As if feeling embarrassed, the woman raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ears.
"In this way, if you really want to take over, I can lower the price a little more."
The woman thought for a moment and came up with a price.
"Three hundred and seventy thousand."
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, saying that the price was still not worth it.
"To be honest, if I had 370,000 yuan, I could just rent a small store and open an Internet cafe."
"And I'm using the latest computer on the market with the best configuration, so the business will definitely not be worse than your current store, right?"
The most critical issue was revealed at once, and for the first time there was a hint of panic in the woman's eyes.
He didn't expect that Chen Fan, a freshman, could see things so sharply.
A few words went straight to the core of the problem and she was defeated.
The woman glanced at Chen Fan, hesitated and gritted her teeth.
"As long as you can pay in full, I can package it up and sell it to you for 300,000 yuan in full."
Chen Fan continued: "I don't know how long your transfer advertisement has been posted."
"But I believe that if you offer 300,000 yuan, no one will take it unless you encounter someone who is taking advantage of you."
"Again, with all this money, why don't people choose to open a new Internet cafe on the same street?"
Chen Fan then analyzed: "The transfer of a store like an Internet cafe is the most troublesome. Because the most expensive asset is the computer, which happens to have the highest depreciation rate."
"Computers are updated very quickly, so the transfer fees in Internet cafes are often very low."
"The only transfer advantage of your Internet cafe is its geographical location, because it is close to Yunhai University. If it is well run, there will be no worries about customer sources."
The woman nodded quickly.
"Yes, you don't have to worry about the source of customers. Isn't this worth three hundred thousand?"
Chen Fan smiled slightly.
"If I were a customer, why wouldn't I go to a better-equipped Internet cafe instead of your Internet cafe, which is about to become outdated?"
"The purpose of taking over your Internet cafe is to make money. If these computers become outdated in a year, wouldn't I have to buy a new computer, or I will go bankrupt?"
"Then what's the point of me taking over your Internet cafe?"
"Do you think this is true?"
After hearing this, the woman looked at Chen Fan blankly, and finally leaned back on the chair weakly, as if all her energy had been drained away.
Obviously, she was at a loss for words by what Chen Fan said.
This guy doesn't look like a naive freshman at all, but more like a battle-hardened business elite.
As if she thought of something, the woman's eyes turned slightly red.
After more than ten seconds of silence, he spoke weakly.
"Two hundred thousand."
"This is already my lowest price. If you don't think it's suitable, then there's no need for us to talk."
"You have mentioned so many shortcomings, but you also know that my Internet cafe is still profitable."
"A simple calculation shows that even if these computers are outdated in a year, the money you make within this year will have already earned back your transfer fee."
"You can't lose."
Chen Fan was a little surprised. He didn't expect this woman to react so quickly.
To be honest, if it were twenty years later, the current situation of the other party's Internet cafe would be like this.
Even two hundred thousand dollars seemed like a lie to him.
But what this woman just said was right.
It's 2000, and Internet cafes are always profitable.
And Chen Fan knew very well that in another year or two, Internet cafes would usher in a real peak period.
At that time, opening an Internet cafe was equivalent to planting a money tree.
Calculated this way, the transfer fee of 200,000 is definitely a profit.
But when negotiating, you have to go in a direction that is beneficial to you.
Chen Fan looked at the other party and said with a smile:
Chen Fan quietly glanced at the woman in front of him.
Knowing that he bargained so hard, he agreed to the price reduction.
It seems that the other party is really in urgent need of money.
But Chen Fan's goal was not this Internet cafe from the beginning.
"Um...can I ask, if you open this Internet cafe shop, are you the owner?"
The woman glanced at Chen Fan in surprise.
"You can rest assured that the house belongs to me. If you take it over, I can give you a preferential rent price. And I promise that the price will not increase within three years."
"You misunderstood."
Chen Fan smiled and waved his hand, and tried to ask, "I want to ask if you are willing to sell this Internet cafe house."
The woman was obviously stunned.
"Do you... do you want to buy an Internet cafe or a house?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "If possible, I would like to buy the Internet cafe and the house together."
For the first time, the woman looked at Chen Fan with deep meaning in her eyes.
"Little brother, you have great ideas."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Are you willing to sell?"
The woman shook her head.
"Sorry, the house was left to me by my parents, and I have no plans to sell it yet."
Chen Fan was a little disappointed.
His goal has always been the house.
Now that I can't buy a house, I spent 200,000 to take over an Internet cafe.
Although it is impossible to lose money, it is still somewhat unsatisfactory.
"What do you think? Do you still want to buy it?"
The woman looked at Chen Fan expectantly.
Chen Fan hesitated and tried to ask.
"Can I think about it and give you an answer?"
The brightness in the woman's eyes dimmed momentarily, and she forced a smile.
"Of course it's possible."
"But... I will only give you one week, if..."
"no problem."
Chen Fan directly nodded in agreement.
"During this week, you can continue to post the notice. If someone is willing to buy it, or the price is higher than mine, you can sell it to them at any time."
After hearing this answer, the woman was satisfied.
He took out a notebook from his pocket.
"Leave me a phone number so I can contact you easily..."
Chen Fan smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry, I don't have a phone number, but don't worry, once I think about it, I will go to the Internet cafe to find you as soon as possible."
The woman looked at Chen Fan with some surprise.
She started to feel a little unsure about this guy.
Feng Qingyun calmly discussed a business worth hundreds of thousands with herself, but she didn't even get a phone call.
Is this guy really not trying to trick me on purpose?
