Robin was ignored by Su Wanyi again, and he felt incredibly angry.
His eyes turned to Ye Chen.
"Kid, see that landmark building in Modu? My office is there, overlooking the entire Pu River."
Ye Chen glanced at that imposing high-rise and chuckled slightly: "You’re talking about Modu Mansion?"
Robin nodded: "Haha, that’s right, Modu Mansion. Kid, do you understand the gap between us now? Let me tell you, the rent for Modu Mansion is 30 yuan per square meter per day, which comes out to seventy or eighty million a year. Can you afford that?"
As he spoke, Robin arrogantly laughed a few times.
Ye Chen was just a DiDi driver, probably earning only a few thousand bucks a month.
While his annual salary was in the tens of millions.
"Kid, do you even have the qualifications to compete with me for a woman?"
"If you know what’s good for you, leave Miss Wanyi now."
Ye Chen was speechless. That Modu Mansion is mine, alright.
Rent? That’s never happening, because the whole building is mine, alright.
Su Wanyi really couldn’t be bothered with Robin, pulling Ye Chen and said: "Ye Chen, let’s go, this guy’s too annoying."
Ye Chen just smiled and said: "Did you guys sign the contract already? When are you moving in?"
"We’ve signed a preliminary agreement, and we’ll be moving in tomorrow."
Ye Chen laughed: "Stop bragging, Financial Mansion is the emblematic building of Modu, and you can move in there?"
Robin sneered: "Kid, you’re too naive. I am the Hua Country President of Da Mai Group, and forget about 30 yuan, even at 50 yuan per square meter per day, I can afford it."
Ye Chen nodded: "Alright, amazing, truly rich."
Robin looked proud: "Now you know how formidable I am."
Ye Chen laughed: "Yeah, when you move in, I’ll definitely personally visit your company to congratulate you."
Robin was delighted at Ye Chen’s words, as he was just fretting about not having a chance to completely crush Ye Chen.
Moving in was indeed a rare opportunity.
"Miss Wanyi should come along, too."
Robin believed that once Su Wanyi saw his magnificent office, she would certainly leave Ye Chen.
Originally, Su Wanyi wanted to refuse, but seeing Ye Chen wink at her, she had to nod: "Alright."
However, Su Wanyi was curious.
What was Ye Chen up to?
Clearly knowing this guy wanted to show off yet still sending himself there.
But Su Wanyi knew that Ye Chen never liked being at a disadvantage; there must be a reason this time.
Especially looking at Ye Chen’s mischievous smile, Su Wanyi knew Ye Chen must have some trick up his sleeve.
After Robin left, Ye Chen directly called Manager Chen from Modu Mansion’s property management.
"Manager Chen, is there someone named Robin wanting to rent a whole floor from us for an office today?"
Manager Chen said: "Yes, because you weren’t here, we just signed a preliminary agreement, and I was about to report to you."
"Initially, our rent was twelve, but seeing that guy’s a big spender, I directly raised it by two times."
Ye Chen laughed: "Hmm, not bad, but twice is too little, since it’s an international big company anyway. We should at least double it again, so let’s make it 36 per square meter."
"Ah, boss! 36 is too high, will we scare away this fat sheep?"
Ye Chen’s lips curled: "Relax, 36 and he’ll still move in. It’s a strict order from their boss to definitely set up the office in Modu Mansion. Whether he likes it or not, it has to happen."
Just now, Ye Chen hacked into Robin’s email using hacker software and saw their plans.
Moving into Modu Mansion was a crucial part of their plan this time.
"Yes, boss, I’ll do as you say."
But Chen Wei was a bit worried.
Is the opponent out of their mind?
Would they really rent at such a high price?
Although Chen Wei was somewhat doubtful, Ye Chen was the boss after all.
He dialed Robin’s number.
"President Luo, there’s a new situation. Just now, our boss didn’t approve the price, and he set it to 36 per square meter."
"What? 36, are you robbing me?"
This price was comparable to the rent of M Country’s Financial Mansion.
Chen Wei smiled: "Sorry, I can’t help it. After all, I’m just an employee. The boss said so, and I have to follow."
"We’ve already signed the contract."
"Sorry, we only signed a preliminary contract that isn’t legally binding. Only a contract signed by our boss has legal effect, and the boss instructed that your rent must be prepaid, or else you should rent elsewhere."
"You, you..." Robin was almost furious.
"Hmph, you’re too much, such a high price, you think I’m stupid? There are plenty of places in Modu where you can set up an office, not just Modu Mansion."
Saying this, Robin angrily slammed the phone.
Chen Wei sighed; the boss was too greedy, definitely scared away this fat sheep.
Immediately, Chen Wei reported the news to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen chuckled slightly, picked up his phone, and dialed using Robin’s business card number.
"Mr. Robin, I just heard from a friend that you can’t afford to rent an office in Modu Mansion. Oh well, it’s the landmark building in Modu; how could an ordinary small company afford it? Initially, I thought you were amazing, but it turns out you were just bragging, letting me down. By the way, I heard rents in the suburbs of Modu are really cheap. You might want to check there, I feel those places best suit your company."
Robin, who was already enraged, was further infuriated by Ye Chen’s call.
Damn it, calling us a small company? We are ranked top ten in investment firms in M Country.
Originally, he had planned to report to his boss that Modu Financial Mansion was asking sky-high prices, intending to switch to another location.
But with Ye Chen’s provocation, Robin got irritated.
Weren’t you saying I can’t afford to rent? Well, I’ll rent it out of spite.
Besides, he had also invited Su Wanyi.
If Su Wanyi discovered his company couldn’t even afford the rent in Modu Mansion, she would certainly think less of his company.
Moreover, this matter was personally decided by his boss, seeing that their aim was to showcase their company’s prowess. Changing the location would first disrespect his boss’s decision, and secondly, truly hinder showcasing their company’s strength.
Since the company spent money on flaunting, it’d be foolish not to flaunt.
Su Wanyi, this Eastern goddess, must be pursued. He really liked her too much, so he had to keep up the charade.
After contemplating, Robin finally gritted his teeth and dialed Chen Wei’s number.
"Manager Chen, 36 it is, we agree."
Hearing Robin’s agreement, even Chen Wei was taken aback.
This guy is way too rich.
Originally, he thought Ye Chen had miscalculated this time, but unexpectedly, the other party really agreed on 36 yuan per square meter rent.
Amazing, that’s certainly a sky-high price.
This time we’ve scored big.
Is Da Mai’s president out of his mind?
At this moment, Chen Wei’s admiration for Ye Chen rose by another level.
Truly worthy of being the boss, indeed a genius strategist.
