Chapter: 6311

Zhou Liying nodded slightly: "Then contact the landlord and let's sign the contract together."

Before the landlord arrived, Zhou Liying had already spread the news that he was taking over this store on Ancient Pawn Street.

Chen Yifei from Ji Qing Tang didn't think Zhou Liying's speed would be so fast, so he quickly dialed Zhang Ermao's phone and said: "Ermao, Zhou Liying is moving too fast! He's already taken over the store by early morning! Have you found anything?"

Zhang Ermao also hadn't expected Zhou Liying to be so efficient, so he opened his mouth to say: "Hold on a minute, I'm still looking for information. Zhou Liying is more capable than you and probably won't be outdone. It's hard to find something that can intimidate him."

He then asked: "Which store did Zhou Liying take over?"

Chen Yifei replied: "It was the precious goods hall, said to have paid no transfer fees at all!"

"Whoa!" Zhang Ermao exclaimed in surprise: "The owner of the precious goods hall is notorious for being stubborn and hard to deal with. He actually gave up his store without asking for a single penny transfer fee when Zhou Liying took it over?"

Chen Yifei said: "Not at all, it's said that Zhou Liying gave the owner of precious goods hall five thousand yuan to move his store, allowing him to quickly clean up today, isn't this just disrespect? The owner of precious goods hall didn't even ask for a single penny transfer fee when he agreed!"

"This Zhou guy has something going on." Zhang Ermao sighed and opened his mouth: "Alright, I'll go to the antique street in the afternoon and meet with Zhou Liying first!"

To avoid destroying the remaining three months of rent, the owner of precious goods hall used the fastest speed to find the landlord, then brought along some colleagues to assess the goods.

Cutting meat is always the most difficult decision, but once it's made, there's no cutting back.

The landlord was very pleased, after all, the new tenant had a settled home, otherwise, what if the current renter expires and nobody wants to take over? I'd have to spend so much time finding new tenants every day, losing one day's rent.

So he arrived and immediately signed an agreement with two people recognizing the remaining three months of rent transfer, as well as a new contract with Zhou Liying. Zhou Liying doesn't need to pay immediately; only needs to hand over the rent to the landlord before the new rental period starts.

After signing the agreement, the colleagues from antique street and precious goods hall alike swarmed in.

This is where the merchants love to sell their goods at fellow merchants' shops.

Once this partner decides not to operate or even doesn't plan to personally clear out remaining goods, it means he's willing to accept a price lower than cost to clear out the goods from his peers.

Things worth one hundred yuan are often sold for seven or eight tens, and you can get them cheaper by buying them yourself outside instead of going to the antique street and precious goods hall.

The boss watched as the partner quickly cleared out all the goods in no time, unable to help but express admiration at Zhou Liying: "It looks like it's time to cut one's losses. In the past, I just worried about this pile of goods, but now they're all gone, and my mood has become much more relaxed, although I did lose some money, but ultimately it was a good feeling."

Zhou Liying nodded in agreement: "As people say, 'you don't see what's not there, you don't worry about it.' When these things become a burden for you, although they still have value, before they can be turned into cash, they only provide negative emotional value every day, and that's an intangible loss."

The boss nodded: "You're right! It's like I invested in that oil stock when I was young. From the second day after I bought it, every day was a good time to cut one's losses, but unfortunately, I was so foolish, stuck my head into the sand, and didn't care about anything, waiting for it to recover, which took me over 10 years, taking into account inflation, I lost at least 90%."

Zhou Liying smiled slightly: "Most people are actually like this, hesitating and holding onto unrealistic fantasies. Such people are not suitable for investing, always struggling to grasp the timing of cutting losses and reaping profits.

The boss saw that most of the goods had been cleared out and called a few friends over to help him pack up his personal belongings and move everything into a small truck. He then turned to Zhou Liying: "These old tables, chairs, and benches have been around for years; they're not worth selling or giving away. You might not want them either, but you can leave them here until you settle into your new place, and when the new ones come in, we can send these back."

"Okay." Zhou Liying nodded.

The boss then said: "Oh, I'm leaving the store's signboard intact; if you don't like it, you can change it later."

Zhou Liying laughed: "Jewels is such a common term used in our industry; but as for me, I'm lazy and won't bother coming up with a new name. When the time comes, we'll just replace the character '珍' (jewel) with '甄選' (selection)." JrNovels.com
