Chapter 1148: 1147 Negotiations

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The four of them looked at each other and then sent a representative to speak.

The merchant representative said, “Miss Tan Rou, we don’t want to quarrel with you. We’re here to give you a reasonable suggestion on behalf of all the merchants in the mall.”

Tan Rou leaned back on the sofa and crossed one leg over the other. “A reasonable suggestion? I wonder what reasonable suggestions you want to give me? Tell me about it.”

The representative saw that Tan Rou’s att.i.tude was rather gentle, so he sat down. Then, he took out a notebook and began to make his so-called reasonable suggestions.

“First of all, although this mall already belongs to you, we merchants have been doing business here for many years. Our customers are all here. If we move away, it will definitely affect your business, so I hope that we can continue to stay here and allow us to continue. I hope you can sign a new contract with us.” The merchant representative suggested.

Tan Rou’s expression didn’t change at all. She had already expected these representatives to talk about this matter, so she nodded. “Well said. Go on to the next one.”

When the merchant representative heard this, his confidence grew. They were already prepared to argue with Tan Rou, but when they thought about how easy Tan Rou was to talk to, not only did she not argue, but she also patiently listened to their suggestions.

However, this was quite reasonable. After all, Tan Rou was a young lady. This time, only she and a young lady beside her came. The two young ladies would definitely be afraid of them. The current situation was very favorable for them. They had to seize the time and put forward all their suggestions.

“Second suggestion.” The representative continued, “There are still some merchants in this mall whose contracts haven’t expired. Now that you’ve bought the mall, you have to maintain the previous contracts and compensate these merchants for the replacement of the contracts.”

Tan Rou was almost amused by them, but she held it in. “What kind of compensation do you need?”

Her tone was very gentle, as if she really wanted to compensate them. The representatives were overjoyed. They did not follow the agreement they had reached earlier and began to propose compensation conditions.

“We want to lower the rent! We want to extend the contract. We want to change to a bigger shop, but the rent should be kept at the same rate.”

This representative was talking about his conditions like hundreds of ducks making a ruckus. Tan Rou did not hear clearly who was talking. She only knew that they wanted to lower the rent, extend the contract period, and change the store.

Tan Rou laughed coldly in her heart. These few representatives were not united. They were all here for their own benefits. Once there was a conflict of interest, she reckoned that she would not need to do anything. They would start fighting on their own.

“Your suggestion is quite reasonable. I don’t think I have any reason to reject you,” said Tan Rou.

The representatives were very happy and praised Tan Rou. “Miss Tan Rou, you’re really a good person!”

Tan Rou finished the coffee in her cup and started talking about business. “Do you know why I bought this mall?”

“I heard that you’re going to hold an exhibition here,” said the representative who spoke first.

“I’m sure everyone knows what the TR Company produces. I didn’t buy this mall to collect rent. I wanted to turn it into an exhibition hall. I originally thought that there was no need to use so many floors, so I wanted to turn one or two floors into an exhibition hall. Now that I think about it, I should renovate all the floors.”

Tan Rou had never thought of chasing all the merchants out. If possible, she would still be willing to let these merchants stay. After all, she did not need such a large s.p.a.ce.

However, after listening to these merchants’ words tonight, she suddenly felt that none of these merchants could stay. They were clearly at a disadvantage, but they still dared to make so many demands of her. Did they really think that she was easy to bully?

The representative was very angry. “What do you mean? If you renovate all the floors, how will our shop continue to operate?”

“Well, you can choose not to open for business.” Tan Rou chuckled.

“Why should I not open for business?” the representative said angrily.

Tan Rou’s gaze turned extremely cold. She raised her chin slightly and said, “Because I’m the boss of the mall now! If I want you to close down, you have to close down!”
