SRGA Chapter 35: The Fear of Song Kaifeng
"Buy this shop?"
Such a thought popped into Lin Tian's mind.
The decoration of this shop was quite nice, although the location wasn't the best, but since he didn't plan on opening a store, he didn't need a prime location.
When he rented it, the landlord joked with him that if he wanted to buy it, he could give him a discount, just 15 million.
This "just" made Lin Tian feel a bit uneasy before.
At that time, he had less than a hundred thousand yuan in his bank account.
"Landlord, are you really planning to sell this shop?"
Lin Tian called the landlord's phone.
"Yeah, do you have a friend who wants to buy it?"
"If your friend can buy it for 14.88 million, that's fine. Similar shops nearby are around 14.7 million, but the renovation of my shop is worth at least three million."
The landlord hurriedly said.
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow. The landlord had previously mentioned selling it cheaper, at 15 million, but now he mentioned 14.88 million.
It seemed that the landlord was genuinely interested in selling this shop.
"Landlord, this isn't cheaper, it's actually higher than the market price. Renovation might not matter if others don't like it, and it would cost money to tear it down."
"And the previous tenant has already moved in, so there might be some impact."
Lin Tian said.
On the other end of the phone, the landlord fell silent for a while before saying, "Little Lin, if your friend can buy it within three days, 14.68 million will do."
"He probably likes the renovation of the shop. If not, I'll continue renting it out and wait for the right person."
Lin Tian said, "Landlord, if you're in a hurry to sell, this price might still be a bit high. If you're really sincere about selling, you should reconsider."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian went to nearby real estate agencies to inquire about the market situation as a seller. It was roughly similar to what the landlord had said.
The landlord was probably asking around as well.
The previous tenant moved out, and he might have thought that if news spread, it would affect the rent of his shop.
There were many shops in the market, and this shop's location wasn't very good, so business-minded people might consider feng shui issues.
"Ding ding!"
After grabbing a bite to eat, Lin Tian drove home, and before he arrived, the landlord called. Lin Tian's face showed a faint smile.
"Little Lin, after discussing with my family, if your friend is sincere about buying it, I'll sell it for 14.38 million."
"This price is already lower than the market price, and the renovation of the shop is so good."
The landlord said in a low voice.
"Landlord, this price doesn't sound right. 14.36 million, I'll take the shop. Let's do the transfer on Monday."
Lin Tian smiled.
On the other end of the phone, the landlord's eyes lit up. "Okay, Little Lin, I knew you had the ability!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian had a faint smile on his face.
Buying this shop for a little over 14 million, he was satisfied. Normally, a shop like this couldn't be rented for less than 20,000 yuan.
The landlord probably wanted to sell while continuing to rent it out.
Maybe he would sell the shop at some point. Lin Tian didn't pay the full three months' rent as a deposit, so there wouldn't be any penalty if the landlord sold the shop.
It wouldn't be easy to find another suitable place. Even if he found a similar shop, the rent wouldn't be less than tens of thousands.
"Spending one million on a qin, buying this shop still leaves me with a couple of hundred thousand, not bad."
Lin Tian muttered to himself.
...
Not long after, Lin Tian returned home, and Luo Bingning hadn't come back yet.
"Ding dong!"
The doorbell rang.
"Click."
Opening the door, Lin Tian saw Song Kaifeng outside.
"Brother Song, what's up?"
Lin Tian smiled.
This was the benefactor who "gifted" him a good car.
Song Kaifeng's face was gloomy. "Lin Tian, are you messing with me behind my back? Damn it, you caused me to go to the police station and lose over a million, I can see that you're not thinking straight."
Lin Tian's eyes narrowed.
"Brother Song, you can't just say things like that."
Song Kaifeng said coldly, "I've found out where your hometown is and who's in your family. I've got everything clear."
"Now I'll give you two choices. First, drive away with the car I gave you and stop bothering Luo Bingning. Second, let's settle this once and for all, and I'll take you down legally and properly."
These days he had been dealing with these matters.
He came out of the police station the same day, but the compensation wasn't finalized until today, with a total of over 1.1 million for three families.
Lin Tian's face turned cold.
He moved instantly, grabbing Song Kaifeng's neck with his right hand and applying a little force, lifting Song Kaifeng up.
Song Kaifeng's neck was intensely painful, his face turning red from the pressure.
"Song, calling yourself 'Brother Song,' do you really think you're my brother? You even threatened me by looking up my home address? You're asking for trouble!"
Lin Tian stared coldly at Song Kaifeng.
Song Kaifeng struggled to break free, but Lin Tian's fingers were like iron claws, he couldn't move an inch even with all his strength.
In just a short time, Song Kaifeng felt like his eyeballs were about to pop out.
"When you speak in the future, you better be polite."
Song Kaifeng couldn't bear it anymore, and Lin Tian finally let go of his hand.
"Cough, cough!"
Song Kaifeng crouched down, coughing violently from the pain.
Just now, he couldn't breathe at all, feeling like he was about to die.
"Clap, clap!"
Lin Tian tapped Song Kaifeng's face twice as he crouched there.
"Brother Song, money is a good thing, but sometimes, if you provoke the wrong person, money won't be of much use. Don't you think?"
Lin Tian smiled lightly.
Fear began to grow in Song Kaifeng's heart.
Originally, in his eyes, Lin Tian was just a poor guy. Now, he saw Lin Tian as extremely, extremely terrifying.
He weighed around 70 kilograms, yet Lin Tian managed to lift him up with one hand, and even held on for twenty or thirty seconds. What kind of strength was that?
With all his might, Lin Tian could probably kill him with one punch.
"Brother Lin, I was wrong."
"Brother Lin, I promise I won't provoke you and Luo Bingning again."
Song Kaifeng said tremblingly.
Lin Tian chuckled, "Brother Song, don't do this again in the future. I have a lot of strength, and sometimes I can
