Chapter 1264 Driving up the Rent


    After arriving at the property, Brother Gou followed thendlord around and inspected the office


    space before agreeing to rent it.


    Thendlord hurriedly said that they had to negotiate the price again and threw him a bunch of


    excuses. Brother Gou said nothing and only frowned, but immediately agreed after that.


    After Brother Gou left, thendlord was exhrated.


    But before he could enjoy his bliss even for a while, another call came. Someone else was


    interested in renting the space too. The new potential tenant even offered a price that was even


    higher than Brother Gou''s rental charges before thendlord uttered a word.


    "Sure sure sure! Come over and check out the ce before we negotiate!"


    Thendlord couldn''t wrap his mind around it. What was going on today? Why did so many people


    want to view this office space?


    Even though he kept offering a higher rental price, they wanted to rent it without hesitation.


    The rent kept increasing. By now, the rent had increased three-fold.


    Thendlord was overwhelmed with excitement. In the end, Number Six secretly told him that he


    wanted to snatch the property from Lin Group and prevent them from getting it. He even told the


    landlord that many people were eyeing it, so he wanted to sign the lease on the spot.


    After Number Six had left, thendlord regretted his actions very quickly. He decided to scrap the


    contract at all costs, even if he had topensate his tenant!


    Number Six scolded thendlord angrily for a long time the moment they got downstairs. The


    landlord didn''t find it embarrassing at all when he refunded the deposit and forked out


    Number Six took the deposit angrily and left with his face stiffened as he cursed thendlord.


    Thendlord finally realized what hot property he was sitting on since its rental kept soaring. If he


    could keep a straight face, he might even stand to make ten times more.


    Many people kept calling to ask about the office space, including potential tenants who were


    sincerely interested in renting it. But everyone was turned off by the astronomical rental.


    Someone even cursed thendlord right away, "Are you money crazy? Do you think you are selling


    us a burial spot?”


    But thendlord didn''t give a hoot. These poor losers were incapable of paying the rent, but


    someone who could afford it would turn up.


    After waiting for a few days and rejecting the bona fide renters, no one else who was willing to pay


    the exorbitant rent turned up.


    Brother Gou, Number Five, Number Six, Number Seven and Number Eight all didn''t get back in


    touch with thendlord, and this sent him into a panic.


    Thendlord incurred quite a huge loss for each day that passed with the office space left empty.


    Not only did he lose out on rent, but he also had to pay taxes, management fees, and of course, all


    thatpensation he paid earlier on.


    Five days passed, and no potential tenants came to rent it.


    Thendlord was in a genuine panic. He called Brother Gou, who cursed him. Brother Gou told him


    he had already rented property elsewhere.


    Next, he called Number Six who told him he didn''t want it anymore.


    Number Six immediately scolded thendlord so hard that thendlord couldn''t help hanging up.


    Three more days passed, and thendlord still failed to rent out the property. By his rough estimate,


    he had incurred a loss equivalent to the total ofst year''s rent revenue.


    Thendlord hurriedly lowered the rent, but someone released news of him raising the rent at the


    veryst minute, and his potential tenants quickly called to give up on the office space.

    Thendlord really wanted to cry, but no tears came out from his eyes. After hesitating for some


    time, he rang Xiang Gao again.


    The moment he asked if Xiang Gao still wanted to rent the space, Xiang Gao immediately haggled


    its rent down by 30%. Then he said calmly, "I''m not that desperate."


    Then just as he was about to hang up, thendlord agreed helplessly.


    Thendlord could no longer afford to make losses if this went on!


    His reputation was tarnished, so other than Xiang Gao, no one else was willing to rent it in the short


    term, and he couldn''t


    afford the loss.


    Xiang Gao agreed to rent it, but he didn''t go over to sign the lease immediately. Instead, he got


    people to send out the news that Lin Group had already rented the property and let thendlord


    wait...
