Chapter 1533
Xin Gaoyang rolled up his sleeves. "He just made a fish specimen. I cook. Can his fish specimen making compare to my cooking? Cooking is a skill!"
Zhang Haidai, who was standing nearby, picked at his ear. "Brother Han, they're arguing again."
Jiang Han thought the bickering was quite nice. Anyway, Xin Gaoyang could argue with Zhang Haidai, or even Lai Zhuang, if not Cai Chengyan.
"Let them be." No matter how loud the argument gets, it won't escalate to physical violence.
Moreover, this argument is at most just a bickering.
Xin Gaoyang is the kind of person who gets restless and talks too much unless he has something to say to someone.
Jiang Han looked at Xin Gaoyang, "Didn't I ask you to contact the amusement park owner? How did the talks go?"
Xin Gaoyang came to his senses and ignored Cai Chengyan.
"Need I say more? The amusement park owner was completely fooled by me. I not only contacted that amusement park owner, but also other amusement park owners."
"It can only be said that the economy is really bad right now. There are too many amusement parks, big and small, going out of business all over China. At first, those owners were stubbornly sticking to their prices. I ignored them when they tried to lower the price. But after I gave them the cold shoulder, they called me a few days later."
Xin Gaoyang leaned closer to Jiang Han, "Do you know how much the boss Lai Zhuang initially asked for?"
"How many?"
"you guess."
Jiang Han frowned. He had no time to guess, so he just casually gave a number, "One hundred million."
Xin Gaoyang immediately looked at Jiang Han with admiration, "Holy crap, you're amazing! You even guessed that."
Jiang Han was stunned for a moment, "Really one hundred million?"
"Yeah, isn't 100 million a ridiculously high price? This amusement park has been operating for several years. It was even closed for half a year. And he sold off some of the equipment. The remaining equipment has been idle for so long, it's questionable whether it's even usable. With less than 10 years of lease time left, how did he manage to ask for 100 million?"
Jiang Han felt that if it really came down to 100 million, he would also advise Lai Zhuang to give up on the amusement park. Although he wanted to make Lai Zhuang happy, he felt that Lai Zhuang was being taken for a ride too much.
"And then what?" Jiang Han felt that if things hadn't taken a turn for the better, Xin Gaoyang wouldn't have brought this up to tell him.
"At first, I acted like I really wanted to buy it. But when I saw that he kept sticking to the price, I ignored him. He contacted me a few times, but I was indifferent, so he started to lower the price on his own initiative."
How much will it decrease?
"This boss is pretty hard-hearted. He started at 100 million and then reduced it to 80 million. When I still ignored him, he reduced it to 50 million. This morning he even called me and said he'd sell it to me for 30 million."
Jiang Han felt that if the economy were good, 3,000 million would be enough to buy it.
Jiang Han looked at Xin Gaoyang, "What do you think?"
"Of course I can't buy it. Two other amusement parks of similar size, with newer equipment, only cost a little over 2000 million. One of the smaller amusement parks is willing to give me 800 million as a discount, and said there's room for further reduction. I think 800 million is about right for Lai Zhuang to play around with, but that one is too far from Zhou City, which is a bit inconvenient."
Jiang Han smiled. It seemed that Xin Gaoyang's efforts to lower prices had been quite effective. "Well done."
Xin Gaoyang, flattered by the praise, said, "That's right. I'll see how things go in a few days. If I really can't suppress it, I'll have to take action."
Jiang Han nodded, "If they are really in trouble, there's no need to pressure them too much. Maybe they're using the money to pay their employees' salaries. You can decide the appropriate amount yourself."
Jiang Han wasn't a philanthropist, but he knew that during an economic downturn, one shouldn't push desperate businessmen too hard.
They're happy if they can gain some advantage.
Jiang Han and the others spent two days on the ship, making a lot of noise.
The porcelain bowl repaired by Li Dashan was almost indistinguishable from the original. Cai Chengyan's specimen of the Indian mackerel was also successfully completed.
