12: Chapter 12 Negotiations for the Purchase of a Factory

Su Rou’s eyes widened; it seemed she hadn’t been mistaken earlier. This beauty’s mind was indeed quite ill, but thankfully, her own advantages were still present.

“Hey, why are you looking more and more sympathetic towards me? There’s nothing wrong with my mind!” Xiao Jiazi was still quibbling, oh, no, explaining.

Chen Yu and Su Rou had already stopped paying attention to her, letting her chatter endlessly behind them.

Actually, Xiao Jiazi had only just been created; she still had much to learn.

Once she stayed in human society long enough, she would be able to be exactly like Earthlings, and she would also develop the same emotions as humans.

But for now, it was clearly not yet there, and her speech was still a bit jumbled.

Chen Yu drove for over an hour, following the navigation Su Rou sent him, arriving at the outermost suburbs of Jiangcheng.

He even drove on a particularly bad dirt road before stopping in front of a huge factory building.

When Chen Yu got out of the car, he immediately felt the dilapidation of the factory building, although its area looked quite substantial.

“My goodness, this is indeed very big, but it’s a bit remote and a bit dilapidated!” Chen Yu complained.

“Uh, Mr. Chen, I didn’t know it was so remote here. If you think the location isn’t good, then we can tell Mr. Wu and just leave.”

“No need. I think this place is good. Although it’s remote, as long as our product makes a name for itself, this area might become an industrial zone.”

Su Rou looked at Chen Yu with reverence, as if all of this would come true.

“Let’s go in and talk to Mr. Wu.”

“Okay!”

Chen Yu led the two beauties and stepped into the dilapidated factory building.

It was very desolate inside, with some sticks and brooms still on the ground, clearly indicating it hadn’t been cleaned for a long time.

Just as Chen Yu and the others were looking for Mr. Wu’s office,

On the balcony of a small, dilapidated building within the factory, a fatman shouted to Chen Yu and the others:

“Hey, over here!”

Su Rou looked over, revealing a pleasant surprise.

“Mr. Chen, that’s Mr. Wu. Let’s go up.”

Chen Yu arrived at Mr. Wu’s office. After the fatMr. Wu led the three into the office,

He furtively looked towards the factory gate, then quickly closed the door.

Chen Yu couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.

Mr. Wu sat down in his equally dilapidated old boss chair.

He carefully scrutinized Chen Yu and Xiao Jiazi behind him, a subtle shock appearing on his face, then he said with a smile:

“Hehe, you must be Mr. Chen. Xiao Su told me you want to buy a factory building, right? If your price is suitable, we’ll sign the contract as soon as possible.”

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes, staring at Mr. Wu like that. He always felt the other party was hiding something.

Moreover, the other party was clearly quite anxious, constantly glancing out the window towards the main gate while speaking, as if afraid something would break in.

“Mr. Wu, please tell me about your factory building first, such as its area.”

“My factory used to produce many kinds of goods, but now the business has failed. However, the factory area is still very large. It’s currently mainly used as a warehouse. The entire factory covers 500,000 square meters, and there’s an additional 300,000 square meters of empty land outside.”

Chen Yu’s eyes lit up; this perfectly met his requirements.

Tesla’s factory area is only 860,000 square meters; this place is more than half of Tesla’s factory.

Furthermore, there are an additional 300,000 square meters of empty land outside. If fully utilized, it would be enough to set up a super factory.

And the factory for producing Heavy Hydrogen Ion Batteries in the early stage doesn’t even need to be this large.

“Mr. Wu, your factory building is so remote, and it’s now very dilapidated. Just tell me the price.”

Mr. Wu’s eyes brightened. Asking for the price right away meant there was hope.

“Mr. Chen, to be honest, although my factory is dilapidated, its area is large enough. Although it’s located on the outskirts of Jiangcheng, it’s still within Jiangcheng, right? How about this, a fixed price of 30 million.”

Chen Yu frowned slightly, staring intently at Mr. Wu’s fatface, seemingly trying to find some flaw on his face.

After more than ten seconds, Mr. Wu felt his scalp tingle under Chen Yu’s gaze.

“Mr. Chen, are you not satisfied with this price?”

“Heh heh, Mr. Wu, don’t think I don’t know the ropes. I’ll give you one more chance. Give me a price again.”

Mr. Wu coughed, clearly having never encountered a client with such an aura.

At this moment, Chen Yu established a connection with the Smart Brain in his mind.

‘Hey, Smart Brain, can you help me check the factory information at my current location and see if there are any abnormalities?’

[Okay, Captain, I will immediately connect to the Earth network and conduct a comprehensive check.]

After only a few seconds, the voice of the Smart Brain sounded in Chen Yu’s mind.

[Captain, I have found all the information about this factory. I’ll tell you the key points.]

[Currently, the total area of this factory building is 830,000 square meters, and the property rights still have 11 years remaining. Based on the surrounding land prices, it’s approximately 6,000 yuan per mu.]

[According to the conversion, 830,000 square meters is 1,245 mu, so the total land price is about 7.5 million. The buildings in these factory buildings are also relatively dilapidated and will require renovation and improvement later.]

[My analysis for you is that the actual price of this factory is between 10 million and 15 million.]

[Also, I investigated on the internet and found that the legal representative of this factory, which is this Mr. Wu, still owes the nearby villagers a total of 3 million in wages. If this matter is not resolved, we will also encounter trouble from the villagers if we buy it.]

Chen Yu’s lips curled up. This Mr. Wu was truly asking for an exorbitant price, doubling the quote for a factory building worth at most 15 million.

Did he really think he was a sucker? Moreover, the property rights here were only for 11 years, which would further discount the price.

If it expired, he would have to spend at least several million more to renew the property rights.

Seeing that Chen Yu wasn’t speaking, Mr. Wu couldn’t sit still anymore.

“Mr. Chen, how about this, I’ll reduce it by 3 million, how about 27 million?”

Chen Yu showed a strange smile.

“Mr. Wu, it seems you’re not sincere. I’ll be frank. The land price around your factory building is about 6,000, and according to the area you mentioned, it’s at most 7 million. These factory buildings of yours are dilapidated and worthless. I’d have to renovate them. The most important point is that your factory’s property rights only have 11 years left, and you still want 30 million. You must be dreaming.”

Sweat trickled down Mr. Wu’s forehead. He was surprised why Chen Yu knew so much about his factory.

“Oh, and Mr. Wu, I also know that you owe the villagers here 3 million in wages. If they often come to cause trouble, your factory might be worthless!”

Mr. Wu’s eyes widened. Chen Yu even knew about that!

Seeing Mr. Wu’s expression, Su Rou also noticed that something was off with him. Could everything Chen Yu said be true?

But she had only told Chen Yu today. How did he find out all this in such a short time?

Of course, Su Rou didn’t know that Chen Yu had the help of the Smart Brain to infiltrate the Earth network, making these things easy to find.

Mr. Wu was completely deflated, his expression becoming dejected.

“Then, Mr. Chen, you name a price. If it’s suitable, I’ll sell it!”

“Hmm, alright then, a fixed price of 13 million. I’m already giving you the highest market price. You’d best consider it carefully.”

While Mr. Wu was considering, a noisy commotion suddenly erupted at the factory gate.

Mr. Wu immediately looked outside in a panic.

He saw a huge crowd of villagers, armed with sticks, brooms, and even machetes, surging into the factory gate.
