Chapter 35: Haggling

  Chapter Thirty-Five: Haggling

  When Tang Feng and Xu Qiang returned to the hotel, it was already after 1 o'clock in the night. Guan Zhiyong and Yin Fei were sitting on the sofa watching TV, while Wang Sheng had not returned from the Slow Shake Bar.

  After washing his face, Tang Feng took over the hot tea handed by Yin Fei and asked: "Stabbing knife, how was it today? Was there any gain?"

  Guo Zhiyong smiled and said, "Of course there are gains. The black mantis has basically stabilized now. The original 12 security guards have all entered the right-handed war hall, and today we also recruited 20 little brothers."

  "Hmm? Haha, that's not bad at all. The Flying Bird has already been taken down by me and Xu Qiang. We've got 22 new brothers and 4 security guards. I plan to gather all the new brothers together tomorrow and do two things: first, make it clear what our rules are, and second, give them some intense training. From what I've seen, these young punks are all too weak. I'm thinking of splitting them in half, with one half training and the other half watching the scene, then switching them out later. On my way back just now, I already told Left Hand to find a bigger place tomorrow to use as our training base." Tang Feng was feeling very good.

  "Hey, you're thinking the same as me. I told them to gather at Hei Se Man Toh tomorrow morning at 8:30, since we're moving tomorrow, haha, with free labor force, of course, we'll make use of it." Guan Zhi Yong's mischievous words also brought out an expression that only appeared when he was with his brothers.

  Tang Feng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing and said: "Haha, you're indeed a good brother, we even thought of this together. I also told them to gather at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, haha."

  The four people in the house burst out laughing.

  The next morning, Guan Zhiyong and Tang Feng went to two different venues separately, while Xu Qiang went alone to find a suitable training venue. He had originally wanted to bring Yin Fei along, but Yin Fei shut him down with just one sentence: "No way, a group of stinky men moving the house, what if I don't keep an eye on them and things are put in the wrong place? You'll have to rearrange everything again later?"

  The flying bird and the black mantis are the same, they don't open during the day, only starting business at 8 pm. As soon as you enter, a group of younger brothers stand up and shout in unison: "Hello boss."

  It was a slight shock, but it felt quite good. Leaving 6 people to watch the door, Tang Feng took the remaining 20 people in a car to rush to his new home.

  When Tang Feng arrived, Guan Zhiyong had also arrived. Seeing that Tang Feng was coming, he hurriedly went forward with Yin Fei and said: "Boss, the furniture city and electrical appliances store have all called, and the goods will be delivered soon."

  Tang Feng nodded and said: "Call all your younger brothers over there."

  Guan Zhiyong called all the younger brothers he had recruited yesterday and said to them: "This is my big brother, also known as our Huaxing Society's big brother, Death God."

  "Great, boss." Another wave of satisfaction.

  "Alright, that's all for today. I didn't call you here for anything else, just to help me move house. Of course, I won't let you go empty-handed, after we're done, I'll treat you to dinner."

  Everyone below burst out laughing, this old man is really down-to-earth and affable.

  He pointed to his own adopted younger brother and then pointed to Guan Zhiyong's adopted younger brother, Tang Feng said: "You guys chat first, get familiar with each other, in the future we are all brothers of our own family, don't go out and fight without knowing whether the person standing next to you is a brother or an enemy."

  The younger brothers burst into laughter again, and after laughing, they started bragging to each other. One said that I had killed so many people before, another said that I had done this and that in the past. In the end, it was all about Xu Qiang and Guan Zhiyong. Tang Feng shook his head at these people and thought: They are still a group of small-time hooligans, they have a long way to go to become real gangsters.

  When all the furniture and electrical appliances were delivered, the younger brothers rushed to move things, who didn't want to leave a good impression on the new boss?

  Everything was settled and it was already past 12 o'clock, just in time for lunch. Tang Feng pulled Yin Fei, who insisted on staying home to clean the house, along with a group of younger brothers, rushing towards the restaurant.

  Don't be kidding, how could Yinfei do that kind of work? Not to mention the exhaustion from thoroughly cleaning such a large house, even if it wasn't tiring, Tang Feng wouldn't let Yinfei do it anyway.

  He casually found a housekeeping company on the road, left the address and key of the house, and Tang Feng left. He was not afraid that those who did housework would steal things or something, he was now an underworld figure, whoever dared to steal his things really didn't know how to die. It's also said that nowadays housekeeping companies are very formal, and such things rarely happen.

  For the time it took to finish a meal, Tang Feng and Guan Zhiyong's ears had not been idle, listening to their younger brothers' flattery. However, the two were still very pleased, if they weren't still unfamiliar with the new boss, the two would have probably been drunk by now.

  After finishing the meal, there was also news from Xu Qiang's side. Over the phone, he gave Tang Feng an address and asked him to go take a look. After telling the younger brothers to either engage in free activities or stay in the courtyard, Tang Feng took Guan Zhiyong and Yin Fei to hurry to the address left by Xu Qiang.

  From a distance, Tang Feng vaguely saw Xu Qiang and a middle-aged man standing by several houses talking about something. When the three people walked to the front, Xu Qiang finally saw him and hurried over to say: "Boss, this was originally a private school, but later the school went bankrupt. Although the dormitory building and teaching building are still there, I just went in and took a look. Except for some broken walls, everything else is fine. Moreover, there is a large playground here, and behind the school, there is a large piece of open land. The location is indeed good."

  The middle-aged man saw Xu Qiang reporting to Tang Feng and knew that Tang Feng was the one in charge. He walked up and shook hands with Tang Feng, saying: "What's this young man's name?"

  Tang Feng was stunned, what to say? Say the surname is dead and the name is god? Not laughing to death would be strange, saying the surname is Tang? That's absolutely not okay. Suddenly, Tang Feng thought of his new identity, smiled and said to the middle-aged man: "My surname is Zhao, I don't know how you should address me?"

  "Oh, Mr. Zhao, haha, you're really young and promising! My surname is Li, I'm the former principal of this school." The middle-aged man said enthusiastically.

  "Oh, so it's Principal Li. Has my brother talked to you about our intention to buy this land?" Tang Feng said with a smile.

  Principal Li nodded hastily: "Yes, yes, Mr. has just talked to me about this. Look at our school, it covers a large area of land, with one dormitory building, one teaching building, and a canteen. Although the exterior looks very old, it's because no one has lived here for a long time. In fact, these buildings were built less than 5 years ago, and their useful life is still quite long. Plus the front and back playgrounds, this place is really not bad."

  Tang Feng felt depressed in his heart, it seems that people are still the same, Wang Po sells melons and boasts about them herself.

  "I wonder how much Principal Li wants for it?" Tang Feng asked.

  Principal Li saw Tang Feng being so direct and smiled, saying: "Mr. Zhao is also a straightforward person, 50 million, everything here is yours."

  Tang Feng was not very satisfied with this price in his heart, but he didn't think it was high either. He wasn't satisfied because he only had less than 50 million on hand now. He frowned and said: "This price is too high, to be honest, these buildings are of no use to us at all. After buying the land, we still need to hire a demolition company to demolish these buildings, which is also a considerable expense."

  Principal Li said with some difficulty: "Mr. Zhao, these buildings are all good, why do you want to demolish them? A new coat of paint can make them continue to be used."

  Tang Feng laughed and after a while said: "Principal Li, don't you think what you're saying is ridiculous? We don't need this building at all, we only want this piece of land."

  "How much is Mr. Zhao willing to pay?" Principal Li asked cautiously.

  "Tang Feng stretched out three fingers: '30 million, this is my bottom line. If you think it's acceptable, we can handle the transfer procedures immediately. If you don't think it's suitable, then we won't force it.'"

  Principal Li thought for a moment and sighed: "Forget it, forget it, 30 million is just 30 million, oh well."

  He also had an unbearable bitter heart, when he first built this school, it cost a lot of money to buy land, approve and build houses, most of which were loans. However, the school did not work out, and the bank loan could not be repaid. Seeing the bank urging him every day, he even thought of running away.

  Previously, some people had intended to buy this place, but he was not satisfied with the price they offered. The highest offer came from a pharmaceutical factory that was willing to pay 50 million, but he didn't sell it. Now the bank is pressing him more and more urgently, and he really has no choice, otherwise he wouldn't have sold it cheaply to Tang Feng.

  After Xiang Qiang used a fake identity and went through the formalities with Principal Li, Yin Fei asked: "Brother, are these buildings really going to be demolished?"

  "What's the point of dismantling it?"

  "You just said you wanted to break up"

  "Didn't I say that three million can buy it?" Tang Feng and the others laughed as they returned to the villa. The luck of these past few days was really too good, especially this piece of land. Those houses could be said to be useless for other buyers, but for Tang Feng, they were just right, at least solving the problem of accommodation and meals for his younger brothers during training. However, Tang Feng had a faintly uneasy feeling.
