Chapter 7 Buying the Bamboo Forest
"Son, when are you going to meet with those tea house owners" asked Feng Xuan's mother when they were eating their breakfast.
"At 9.30" said Feng Xuan.
"Then, why don't we come with you?" asked his mother.
"fine with me" said Feng Xuan he knew why they want to come with him thus he allowed them to accompany him while thinking about a plan to show them his money earning capability to make them believe that he earned money through correct methods.
Hearing his words sister, father and mother hurriedly ate their food and got dressed into formal cloths. After doing all this they went and sat in his car.
Feng Xuan also go into his new car and drew the car.
Since he had planned to go to the Bamboo Forest Tea house to meet the owner of the tea house for negotiations, he first went to the bamboo forest.
It took them 30 minutes to arrive at their location. Although they arrived 5 minutes earlier than the meeting time, he saw a fat middle aged man in front of the door of the tea house. At a glance Feng Xuan recognized the man as the current owner of tea house.
Since all his family members have got out of the car, he told them to follow him since they want to see the negotiation process.
By the time he was talking to father and mother, the owner of the bamboo forest tea house also looked at them and checked them.
Feeling the owners gaze, Feng Xuan went into Bosses direction.
"Hello! You must me mister Fin, I'm Feng Xuan who called you yesterday." Said Feng Xuan while extending his hand.
The owner who heard his words, was very surprised by Feng Xuan's age but still he handshake with Feng Xuan with a smile.
So, it's Mr. Feng, please forgive me for not recognizing you quickly." Said Mister Fin with a smile and then he looked behind Feng Xuan.
"oh, they are my family members, since this is my first time doing business they are afraid that I will mess things up thus they came with me." Said Feng Xuan seen where the current owner was looking.
Hearing his words, he went over and greeted them, knowing that they have the power to change Feng Xuan's words.
And after greeting all of them he led them to the top floor of the tea house and ordered his workers to bring out the best quality tea that they have.
Feng Xuan was not willing to waste more time so he said "Mr. Fin, let's go straight to the main topic. I willing to by this Tea house for 13 million Dollars."
Hearing the price that Feng Xuan offered the owner was not pleased so he said "Mr. Feng, my business worth more than 20 million so mister Feng so the price you offered is bit low."
"Mr. Fin, although the place of the business is good but still the shop designs and other thing have already grown old. And if I'm buying this Tea house I have to do many changes to it. So Mr. Fin I think my price is reasonable." Said Feng Xuan calmly.
Mr. Fin, who heard Feng Xuan's words frowned a little, he thought that he can earn a little more since Feng Xuan was young. Even though his parents were here they would not mind if the price were to go higher by a million. But now seen Feng Xuan's excellent eyesight he was impressed.
"Mr. Fin, don't be in a hurry to reject my offer. From what I see, if you were to reject my offer you will not even be able to even get 10 million if you were to sell this business to someone else." Said Feng Xuan in a deep tone.
"It's indeed like what Mr. Feng Said, since it's like this. Let's settle it with 13 million." With a fake smile.
Feng Xuan was surprised by his quick agreement, since he planned to convince the owner even if it took hours today, but he still he smiled and said "let's go and do the property ownership."
"Ok, Let's go" said Mr. Fin while getting up.
"Dad, Mom, you guys stay here. I will go and quickly finish Property transship agreement and come back." Said Feng Xuan While going out with Mr. Fin.
Mr. Fin who just came out of the room signed in relief because of the invisible pressure that both Feng Xuan's parents emitted when he was in the room disappeared after coming out of the room. And from that pressure he knew that this young man's parents were definitely big-shots and that was the reason why he had agreed to Feng Xuan's price quickly.
Although he was a greedy person he cares for his life even more than money.
He had been doing business since 30 so he knew some secrets. It was always good to on the good side of someone like them.
"Then Mr. Feng let me first introduce you to the staff here." Said Mr. Fin and he hurriedly led him to the ground floor and gathered all the staff members who were working.
"Every one, let me introduce this gentleman here. This is Mr. Feng Xuan and I have already sold this business to him. So from today onwards his will be owning this place. All of you have to work under him honestly" he Introduce Feng Xuan and looked at him.
"Hello, everyone I'm Feng Xuan.
I have already bought this Tea house. We don't currently have time to talk. But after I come back after handling the property ownership and I will call a meeting and inform all of you about the changes that will take place here.
Also my parents and my sister are on the second floor serve them well until I come back" Said Feng Xuan and left with Mr. Fin without caring about the Employees feelings.
After doing the property transfers with Mr. Fin he did not go straight way to the bamboo forest.
This time he went to the Bamboo Pavilion to buy it and after some negotiations he bought the business and did the property transfer with the owner. And then asked all the workers working in the shop to close the shop for today and go to the Bamboo forest for a meeting.
At the Bamboo forest there were already more than 40 workers currently inside the tea house and they were divided into two sides and looking at each other with hostility.
And Feng Xuan and his family members were at the front of them.
"Since everyone is here, let's talk about the next development plan about both the tea houses. And I think that all of you know that I have already bought the tea houses that you guys were working at. You'll might be thinking what I intend to do with these two tea houses. Well when I was researching abought this location I found out that this place was having a chance of having a Hot spring. Thus I'm planning to invest 100 million Dollars to rebuild this place into a High end hot Spring resort within a weeks' time. So some of you might not want to work with me thus thought about increasing your salaries a little so Except the tea refiners and the two managers all the other workers would get their salary increased to 5000 dollars and the tea refiners would get a salary of 10, 000 dollars and the two managers would get a salary of 15, 000 dollars and if anyone of you are no happy about my decisions the door is always open for you." Said Feng Xuan in a non-questionable tone.
"Does anyone have any problem?" asked Feng Xuan and looked around and seen them not asking anything he said "Although I'm twenty years' old. I'm not someone who tolerate any dishonest people. If I were to catch any of you doing something wrong, you will have to get ready to go home. Also I do not consider myself as a very good person so always be mindful of your actions. Ok, that's all for today we will close both the shops until the next week for the construction company to recreate this place." While revealing some pressure from his speech that he learned from the past life.
And after talking with all the employees at first he had another meeting with both the managers and discussed more about what they had to do in the next few days. And he also asked them to recruit some more capable people to work at his spring resort.
They also choose to name the Hot Spring Resort as "Bamboo Forest Hot Spring Resort" after discussing with his family members as well.
And when he finished all the work, it was already 2 pm in the afternoon. Thus he left the bamboo forest tea house after the construction team arrived.
While he was driving the car back home he suddenly remembered something and said "Mom, Dad lets go to the Antique Street to earn some money" and drew the car into the southern direction of the Yan city.
