"Words are not enough, Qin Yun, let's sign a formal agreement," Zuo Han said with a smile.

In his view, Qin Yun seemed to be blinded by rage at the moment.

A small Celestial Fortune Clothing trying to shut down their Cold Dew Clothing? It's simply the biggest joke of the year.

He was worried that Qin Yun might back out.

Qin Yun certainly had no objections.

"Alright, Qin Yun, we'll meet again after the agreement is sorted," Zuo Han said with a smile.

After speaking, he left, and a man who looked to be in his fifties approached Qin Yun, laughing, "Boss Qin, how's business going lately?"

"Not bad," Qin Yun looked at the man and said calmly.

This man was the landlord of his Celestial Fortune Clothing store.

Arriving at the Celestial Fortune Clothing store, Qin Yun suddenly asked, "Boss Liu, if I decide to stop renting this store, how much rent can you refund me?"

This Celestial Fortune Clothing store was 230 square meters, and he had paid a year's rent of 450,000, averaging nearly 40,000 a month.

"Haha, Boss Qin, you've already rented for a year. Even if you want to stop, I won't refund any rent. You can find someone else willing to take over,"

Upon hearing this, Boss Liu shook his head directly.

Landlord Boss Liu said without hesitation, "Besides, we signed a breach of contract agreement. Even if you go to court, I can slowly fight it with you."

He laughed cheerfully, not worried about anything.

Hearing about the breach of contract, Qin Yun's expression darkened.

Previously, when Sun Yadong offered sky-high rent and so on, although he ultimately didn't suffer losses, he learned his lesson.

With the Wealth Gathering Array, any clothing store he opened would surely do well, so landlords like Sun Yadong with similar ideas were bound to appear.

Therefore, when signing a lease agreement, he also prepared for that breach of contract, where if the landlord suddenly regretted during the store's operation and wanted to reclaim the shop, they would have to bear his losses, and several times over.

But agreements are mutual; when restricting the landlord, if he violated the agreement, he would also have to pay a lot.

The previous agreement now instead has a greater impact on him.

Soon, the landlord left, Zhao Tianqiang came to Qin Yun, looking displeased, "President Qin, this landlord is definitely siding with Zuo Han."

"I know," Qin Yun said calmly.

He asked the landlord about this on purpose not long ago.

Cold Dew Clothing is coming on strong, opening stores around the three major Celestial Fortune Clothing stores, mimicking the styles and everything, with prices even cheaper.

In response, Qin Yun could counter that by moving to another location.

But since agreements with the shops have been signed, the contract won't expire for at least half a year. Leaving early would mean breaching the contract.

And the landlord and Zuo Han have reached an agreement, clearly not letting him leave easily.

Unless he simply forfeits tens of thousands of rent.

Finding someone else to continue the lease isn't easy, like with the previous Fatty Wang, who might wait for a long time with no one willing to take over.

If he takes this step, Qin Yun will undoubtedly suffer huge losses.

Moreover, in Zuo Han and the others' view, even if he opens a store elsewhere, first, it's uncertain whether business will be good; it might thrive in one place but become neglected in another.

Secondly, even if business booms again, Cold Dew Clothing, with its ample funds, can open another store around Celestial Fortune Clothing and suppress it with the same tactics.

Then Qin Yun would abandon the rent again and move to a third place?

No strategy to counter that.

So in anyone's view, Qin Yun, starting from scratch, is definitely not financially strong enough, and under the siege of Cold Dew Clothing, has no chance of victory. Defeat is a matter of time.

"What should I do now?"

Qin Yun thought silently, sorting out his thoughts.

"Now both Celestial Fortune Clothing and Cold Dew Clothing have a lot of foot traffic. However, with the Wealth Gathering Array, the traffic at Celestial Fortune Clothing is genuine, while the traffic at Cold Dew Clothing is fake. If we keep fighting like this, I won't lose much, make a little money, but Cold Dew Clothing's losses are bound to be huge."

In reality, the situation looks dangerous on the surface, but Qin Yun isn't really worried.

He has the Wealth Gathering Array, so no matter how he's besieged, he will definitely still make money.

At most, he will hold out until the rent expires, then move to another place.

Given the current situation, Cold Dew Clothing really can't suppress him.

"But the issue with the store is always my weakness. If I can solve this, I'll be invincible."

The store is rented, so control always lies with the landlord.

He wants to leave, which would be a breach of contract if the landlord doesn't refund the rent. This matter's prone to dragging out; even if reported to the police or taken to court, it could take months.

Moreover, another possibility is he doesn't want to leave, but the landlord breaches the contract and makes him vacate.

The store belongs to the landlord, so at most the landlord pays some breach fee.

Although it's in violation of the agreement by the landlord, Qin Yun can choose to continue the business, but if the landlord frequently brings relatives to make a scene at the store, even calling the police would likely just result in advice to negotiate and resolve it.

The commotion would inevitably impact business.

After all, who wants to shop for clothes in a noisy store?

So, with the store not his own, he's basically in a passive state.

Now, Zuo Han and the landlord are teaming up to disgust him.

Although Qin Yun isn't worried now, Cold Dew Clothing has substantial capital, and later who knows what they'll do, so he must resolve this weakness to avoid any vulnerabilities.

"To solve it, I need to make the store entirely my own. But to do that, I need to buy it outright," Qin Yun thought silently.

He thought about buying the property fully, but felt a bit headache-inducing.

In fact, Qin Yun had long known about this shortcoming. Sun Yadong's incident reminded him earlier.

Celestial Fortune Clothing is booming wherever it opens, and there will definitely be landlords with ideas.

However, Jinling is a place where every inch of land is expensive, and his stores are on bustling streets in the city.

The more bustling, the higher the rent.

Even if he were to buy a small 40-square-meter shop in full, it would cost at least two million!

Currently, he has six 40-square-meter stores in Jinling, which would cost at least twelve million together!

And 200-square-meter places would cost at least ten million to buy in full!

Not to mention he now also has two 230-square-meter stores, which together would cost at least 24 million!

In other words, Qin Yun's nine stores in Jinling would cost 46 million to buy outright!
