30: Chapter 30 Thank you, President Su! This is a win-win situation!

Chapter 30: Thank You, President Su! It's a Win-Win!

"That's impossible!"

Xu Tianqi slapped the table and stood up!

He felt that Xu Zhiping was just as black-hearted as those professional shop-closers!

"President Xu, please don't be angry. Sit down and let's talk!" Su Yang quickly tried to persuade him. "And Store Manager Xu, isn't your asking price a bit excessive?"

Xu Zhiping explained respectfully, "Boss, you don't know. President Xu's Qiangli Fitness might have already collected five or six million in early pre-payments. Now that he's transferring Qiangli Fitness to you, he just wants you to take over this mess!"

Xu Tianqi said aggrievedly, "But I invested four million in the early stages!"

Xu Zhiping corrected him, "It was three million! Gao Qiang mentioned it when he was preparing for Qiangli Fitness!"

At that moment, Xu Tianqi really wanted to drag Gao Qiang out and give him a beating!

Xu Zhiping continued, "Boss, if you really want to buy a gym, Jijian is still better. At least we won't lose money buying Jijian. Qiangli Fitness's debt is too large!"

"But..."

Seeing Su Yang start to hesitate, Xu Tianqi knew he had to make a decision:

"President Su, I can transfer Qiangli Fitness to you for free!"

Xu Zhiping said, "Boss, President Xu still lacks sincerity!"

Su Yang suddenly asked, "How about this, President Xu? If you give me five hundred thousand, I'll take it off your hands."

"Uh..."

Xu Tianqi didn't know what to say.

Su Yang said very seriously, "This way, you can still make two million!"

"President Su!"

Xu Zhiping shouted.

Su Yang laughed awkwardly, "I think Qiangli Fitness is not bad. At least it's new, and the place is quite large!"

Xu Tianqi said helplessly, "President Su, I really didn't make two million!"

He was telling the truth!

He had invested three million in the gym initially, but perhaps because the reputation of commercial gyms had become somewhat tarnished, the funds he recovered in the first three months through memberships and private training courses were only close to five million!

After deducting promotional and marketing expenses, it was only a bit over four million!

In other words, his total investment had only earned him a bit over a million.

Did Su Yang and Xu Zhiping know?

They knew perfectly well, but they still had to pretend they didn't.

They also had to try their best to exaggerate how much Xu Tianqi had earned!

Su Yang asked, "Then how much will you give me?"

Xu Tianqi hesitated for a moment and glanced at Xu Zhiping. "Three hundred thousand?"

Su Yang looked at Xu Zhiping. Xu Zhiping thought for a moment and asked, "Does the boss really want it?"

"I'm somewhat interested, but I'll still listen to you. After all, I'm a layman!"

Xu Tianqi's heart skipped a beat.

Xu Zhiping asked, "President Xu, how is the rent for Qiangli Fitness paid?"

"Paid quarterly!"

"Then the two months' rent won't be refunded!"

"Fine!"

Two months' rent was one hundred and twenty thousand; just thinking about it made Xu Tianqi feel the sting!

"Also, this month's staff salaries will be paid by you!"

"That's only right!"

"Then let it be so!" Xu Zhiping turned to Su Yang and said, "Boss, I really don't want you to take over Qiangli Fitness. Since you've accepted it, you must be prepared to sustain losses for a period of time!"

Su Yang smiled and said, "I'm quite good at that. Anyway, I have plenty of time."

Hearing this, Xu Tianqi, who was standing nearby, suddenly felt a bit more relieved!

At least he could still make about a million, making his hard work for an entire year not entirely in vain!

Opening a large commercial gym wasn't that easy.

From site selection to decoration, from handling various business licenses to passing fire safety inspections and so on, he had utilized many connections and spent a lot of energy!

With an investment of three million, he had also taken a big risk!

His building materials business was doing very poorly, many accounts had not been collected, and his cash flow was extremely tight!

Now that he had transferred the gym, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At the end of the day, he felt more at ease holding cash in his hand!

"President Xu, then it's settled!"

Su Yang stood up and extended his hand to Xu Tianqi.

His mood was naturally pleasant; after all, he had essentially saved 1.42 million!

Xu Tianqi shook Su Yang's hand with both of his and said sincerely, "Thank you, President Su!"

This "thank you" made Su Yang, whose conscience was still somewhat intact, want to laugh!

Great!

He even has to thank me!

But Su Yang understood after a moment of thought.

Xu Tianqi didn't know he was being taken advantage of!

Su Yang emphasized, "This is a win-win!"

He not only got Qiangli Fitness but also saved over a million and received Xu Tianqi's gratitude... it seemed like more than just a win-win!

As for the million Xu Tianqi earned, he wasn't particularly jealous.

After all, the man had spent over half a year and used real money to build the gym!

"Yes! President Su is right! This is a win-win!"

Xu Tianqi also laughed.

He felt that Su Yang's words were very pleasant to hear!

Thus, Xu Tianqi handed Su Yang a business card. "President Su, I specialize in the building materials business. If you ever need anything, you can find me. I'll definitely give you a discount!"

He actually had a good impression of Su Yang.

He felt the other party was a wealthy and impulsive second-generation rich kid.

Straightforward, easy to talk to, and easy to deal with!

At least he looked much more agreeable than Xu Zhiping!

"Alright!"

Su Yang took the business card and glanced at it.

Only after seeing Xu Tianqi to the door did Su Yang gradually relax.

Acting for the first time, he was still a bit nervous; he couldn't compare to those old foxes!

"Well done!"

Su Yang praised Xu Zhiping.

Xu Zhiping said, "It's all thanks to the boss's strategic planning!"

Although he still felt the boss's offer was slightly high, he had also seen his own boss's ability!

Every step Xu Tianqi took seemed to have been calculated perfectly by Su Yang!

If Su Yang were a bit more cold-hearted, he might have saved even more money!

However, a boss with a kind personality didn't seem like a bad thing.

[Ding~ Spark Fitness Store Manager Xu Zhiping's loyalty has increased to 90. You have gained 1 Strength attribute point.]

Hearing this notification, Su Yang was stunned for a moment.

Then he started laughing.

"I'll reward you with ten thousand this time. Tell Gao Qiang that he gets it too!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Having shed the burden of Qiangli Fitness, Xu Tianqi was in a good mood.

Not long after, he received a call from Gao Qiang.

"Boss, how did the talk go?"

Xu Tianqi said proudly, "With me personally taking action, it was naturally a success!"

By now, he had already forgotten his pathetic appearance during the negotiations with Xu Zhiping just now.

"Then can I continue to be the store manager?"

"I believe that with your ability, President Su will definitely appreciate you!" Xu Tianqi didn't want to say much more to Gao Qiang. "Alright, that's all. I'm driving!"

With that, he hung up the phone immediately.

"Heh!"

Gao Qiang put down the phone with a cold sneer.

But he soon became happy.

Before calling Xu Tianqi, he already knew the negotiation was a success!

He spun around in his office in joy and then looked at his phone, smiling. "The new boss is still better. Before I've even officially joined, he's already given me a ten-thousand-yuan bonus!"

Su Yang returned to his office and stuffed Xu Tianqi's business card into the bottom drawer.

Having conspired with Gao Qiang to plot against Xu Tianqi, Su Yang still felt somewhat guilty.

Supporting his business was probably out of the question!

Standing by the window and looking at the towering office buildings outside, Su Yang felt quite ambitious!

I felt a bit tired at 4 PM and wanted to take a short nap, but ended up sleeping until the next day. I only updated one chapter yesterday and hope it won't affect the recommendations... Truly speechless...
