Chapter 708: Chapter 343: Acquiring a Shop

Seeing Xuxu’s message, Lin Shen smiled knowingly. He and Qin Yuenan got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the residential complex.

Across the street, there was indeed a small convenience store surrounded by several restaurants. Business seemed to be doing quite well.

"Hello, sir," Lin Shen said with a smile as he walked in, immediately introducing himself upon seeing a man in his sixties sitting behind the cash register. "Did Xu Xu contact you earlier? I’m his friend. I wanted to talk to you about buying the shop."

"Oh, so you’re Xu’s friend."

Despite his age, the old man was full of spirit. He didn’t stoop at all, appearing as healthy and robust as a man in his prime.

Upon learning the purpose of Lin Shen’s visit, the old man hurriedly found two folding stools for Lin Shen and Qin Yuenan to sit on. He even handed them two bottles of water, which left Lin Shen feeling somewhat flattered.

"I’m not thirsty, sir. Thank you," Lin Shen said.

"Oh, come on, how much does water cost anyway? Just take it."

The old man forced the two bottles of water into Lin Shen and Qin Yuenan’s hands. The gesture made them smile, and they couldn’t help but feel a twinge of fondness for the kindly-faced man.

"Thank you, sir."

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing." The old man waved his hand dismissively and smilingly made small talk with Lin Shen. "I heard from Xu that you came from Modu?"

"Yes, sir." Lin Shen smiled. Not wanting to get too friendly lest he feel too embarrassed to negotiate the price later, he steered the conversation straight to the point. "Sir, how much are you planning to sell this shop for?"

"How much do you think is appropriate?" The old man clearly lacked experience in this area, but his attitude was very gentle. He took Lin Shen’s hand, patting the back of it affectionately with a kind smile. "Honestly, I don’t know either. My son said this location is pretty good, and the floor space is about twenty square meters. He suggested a transfer price of 100,000 yuan, including some of the inventory in the store. Would you be willing to pay that?"

One hundred thousand?

This price genuinely shocked Lin Shen. Was it really that cheap?

Having acquired dozens of physical stores in Modu, every single one had started in the millions. Compared to them, the price of this convenience store was absurdly low. It wouldn’t even add up to the daily income ReceivePal provided him.

This price was simply too good to be true!

So, Lin Shen said with a bright smile, "Of course I can, sir. Why don’t you find some time to call the landlord over? I’d like to talk it over with both of you."

"I am the landlord of this shop."

The old man smiled, causing Lin Shen to freeze in surprise.

Wait! He was the landlord? That meant this wasn’t just a business transfer, but a direct sale including the commercial storefront itself! That was absolutely absurd!

Lin Shen looked up and surveyed the interior space of the convenience store, visually estimating it to be around twenty square meters. That meant 100,000 yuan could buy an entire convenience store outright in his hometown?

This time, Lin Shen was truly stunned.

His spending sprees in Modu recently had significantly altered his perspective on consumption. A watch worth over 700,000 yuan; a luxury car worth over 40 million. In the eyes of Lin Shen, who had a daily income exceeding 200,000 yuan, these prices were no different from bouncing digits on a screen. He had developed a certain immunity to prices.

But buying a convenience store for 100,000 yuan yanked his perspective on money right back to the time before he had acquired the system.

Perhaps this was the concept of money that ordinary people dealt with.

Lin Shen silently sighed in admiration. Then, he held up two fingers on his right hand and smiled. "Sir, I’ll offer you 200,000 to buy this entire shop. What do you think?"

Two hundred thousand?

This figure thoroughly shocked the old man. His eyes widened, and he remained speechless for quite a while. Finally, after stammering for a moment, he hurriedly asked, "Isn’t that price a bit too high?"

"Not at all," Lin Shen said with a smile. "Why don’t you discuss it with your son? For 200,000 yuan, ownership of this shop—along with all its inventory—goes entirely to me. Is that alright?"
