Chapter 29: Black Mandala

  The next day, Tang Feng accompanied Yin Fei to go shopping and bought mobile phones for several people. In this highly developed era, it's really inconvenient without a mobile phone. Before, Tang Feng always heard people say that accompanying women to shop was so painful. Every time he heard these words, he would despise the other person for not being able to handle even this small matter. But when it came to himself, Tang Feng deeply felt that the experience summed up by millions of men was correct.

  Yin Fei is now just a girl and she's already so formidable, I really don't dare to imagine how terrifying she'll be when she grows up and becomes a woman.

  After finally waiting until the agreed time with Boss Wang, Tang Feng sent Yin Fei back to the hotel, and then he and Wang Sheng, Xu Qiang went on their way.

  "Boss, it's here, this area has many universities, and with so many students, the local economy is also booming. Now, you can say that this place in XA is one of the more prosperous areas. Look, it's that Slow Bar over there." Wang Sheng told the driver to pull over, and got out of the car while introducing it to Tang Feng.

  Tang Feng took a look around and indeed, the location was great, with a lot of foot traffic, and mostly clothing stores, restaurants, and other eateries nearby. There weren't many bars or entertainment venues, which explained why Wang Sheng said that this slow bar did well. Following Wang Sheng's direction, Tang Feng saw a very eye-catching neon sign "Black Mandala", and couldn't help but chuckle. He thought the owner of this store was quite interesting to use such a poisonous flower as its name.

  Several people walked into the Slow Shake Bar, and Tang Feng's heart added a few more points. Just this facade must have cost a lot of money! Maybe it was not yet business hours, there were no waiters at the door, so several people just walked in directly.

  "Sorry sir, we're not open yet. Please come back after 8 o'clock." A handsome young man blocked several people.

  Xu Qiang was about to lose his temper, but Tang Feng stopped him and said to the waiter, "Hehe, we're not here to play around. We were invited by your boss to discuss business. Would you please take us to see your boss?" At this point, Tang Feng didn't want to cause any trouble. Who knows, maybe in a few minutes or tens of minutes, this place would be his own. If he succeeded, he wouldn't even plan on replacing these service staff. After all, they had been working here for so long and were familiar with all aspects, so it was still necessary to leave a good impression on them.

  The waiter saw Tang Feng speaking very politely, nodded and smiled at Tang Feng, saying: "Then trouble Mr. to wait for a moment, I will go to inform the others." After finishing, he turned around and walked inside.

  Tang Feng and several others casually sat down on a scattered table, Wang Sheng opened his mouth and said: "Boss, this place is indeed not bad. You see, whether it's from decoration or environment, it's quite good. The most important thing is that there is a university town nearby, students' money is the easiest to earn, and now young people all like to come here to spend their leisure time. As long as we can take it down, it will definitely be profitable."

  Tang Feng nodded and began to carefully examine the surroundings. The room was divided into two levels, with a bar counter on the right side as soon as you entered. Opposite the bar counter was a small dance floor, surrounded by about twenty four-seat tables. In the left corner of the wall, there was a spiral staircase made entirely of glass, which led to the upper level.

  The upper level is actually only half, it's a circular arc, saying it's the upper level, it's better to say it's a platform. On the edge of the platform, there are two low walls made of glass, with a gap of about 20 centimeters between them. From the outside, it seems to be sealed, but inside, they raise some tropical fish and aquatic plants. It can prevent guests on the upper level from falling down due to drinking too much or other reasons, while also looking beautiful and elegant. It's actually a very good idea, but I don't know how long these fish can survive in such an environment. Constantly changing fish is also a considerable expense.

  There are about ten tables placed on the platform, adding up to thirty or so with the twenty downstairs, which is enough.

  Inside, there are two corridors. One corridor has a toilet, a utility room, a storage room and an employee locker room. The other corridor is the VIP rooms, from 01 to 22, but I don't know what's inside the VIP rooms.

  "Ah, sorry to keep you waiting for a bit, really sorry." Along with the voice, a stout middle-aged man walked out of the room beside the bar, smiling at Tang Feng and the others.

  Tang Feng and a few others stood up, smiled slightly, and seemed to have exchanged greetings. The middle-aged man walked forward and said to Wang Sheng: "Ah, little brother, you don't know, if you came a bit later, you might have made a trip in vain. These past few days, so many people called me saying they wanted to come see."

  Tang Feng smiled and didn't say a word. This middle-aged man's little trick, how could he not see through it? He just wanted to sell the price higher, that's all.

  "Boss Ma, this is my boss. Today, my boss has come to talk to you in person, which is already giving you a lot of face." Wang Sheng said while shaking hands with the middle-aged man. Another layer of meaning behind his words was: In my boss's eyes, you are nothing, so it's better to sell quickly and be done with it.

  Ma Lao Ban's body shook when he heard Wang Sheng's words. At first, he thought Wang Sheng was the leader among them, but unexpectedly it was this ordinary-looking young man. Moreover, although Ma Lao Ban didn't mingle with them, due to business relationships, he knew a bit about their affairs. Since Wang Sheng left yesterday, he had been inquiring about his background everywhere, but this person seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and nobody knew anything about him. Now that someone was saying this, it was clear that they didn't take themselves seriously. Although Ma Lao Ban didn't have a large following, due to his relationship with his uncle, he was also considered a figure in XA City, where except for those few famous leaders, nobody dared not to take him seriously.

  Ma Boss is also a veteran, quickly recovering as usual, smiling and saying to Tang Feng: "Really didn't expect, you're so young and can be the boss already, come on, come in, please go inside." After finishing, he led the way towards his own office.

  They arrived at Ma's office and, without waiting for Ma to invite them to sit down, Tang Feng and the other two directly sat on the sofa opposite his desk. Ma, who had just stretched out his hand to ask them to sit down, awkwardly withdrew it and chuckled a few times.

  "What would you like to drink?" asked Old Master Ma.

  Tang Feng put on a dignified air and waved his hand: "No need, we came here today to discuss business. We can drink after the deal is made."

  Seeing Tang Feng's straightforwardness, Old Horse didn't say anything else, lit a cigarette and said: "You all should know that my business here is not to be trifled with. With this renovation added on, haha, it can be seen that you're a man who values efficiency, so let's cut the nonsense. You directly tell me how much you're willing to give at most, as long as I don't lose out, we'll settle on it."

  Tang Feng silently appreciated this horse boss, who was indeed a shrewd businessman. If he quoted a low price, he could say it was low, but if he quoted a high price, he would probably pretend to be difficult and make it seem like Tang Feng had taken advantage of him.

  "Haha, Old Master Ma is indeed a businessman. Since you've said so, I won't waste any more words. I'll give you double the scrap value, 40 million. If you agree, we can handle the formalities now." Tang Feng said. In fact, in his heart, even if he spent 60 million to take it down, it would still be a good deal, just this land and house price is not low at all.

  The boss furrowed his brow, silently cursing: damn it, how did they know that the waste wanted to spend 20 million to buy this store. But he could only swallow his anger, thinking for a moment before saying: "Younger brother, since you also know that the waste wants to buy this store, I'll be straightforward with you. If we weren't afraid of offending the waste, I would absolutely not sell this store. 40 million is indeed too low, younger brother is also a knowledgeable person and should be able to see the value of this store."

  Tang Feng smiled and said, "If it were before, I really couldn't take out 4 million, but now it's different. As far as I know, the waste wants this store very much, and business has been getting worse recently, right? Hehe, although because of the relationship with the person behind your back, the waste doesn't dare to mess with you openly, but it's also inevitable that they'll send some younger brothers to cause trouble here every day. Although I didn't put the waste in my eyes at all, this is also a troublesome thing. Buying this store will not be peaceful for at least a few months. The king of hell is easy to provoke, and the little ghosts are difficult to mess with."
