Chapter 87: Chapter 87 What is this?
Wu Wei assessed the value of the firepot restaurant while eating, estimating its worth to be around five million.
He directly offered twice that amount, not believing the owner would remain unmoved.
As expected, hearing ten million, Boss Yang's tone instantly softened, "Mr. Wu, let's meet and discuss this in detail."
"Sure."
Wu Wei smiled and said, "I'm actually at your restaurant right now."
Boss Yang immediately said, "Okay, Mr. Wu, please wait a moment, I'll be right there."
About ten minutes later, a middle-aged fatty dressed in black casual wear entered through the door.
The welcoming waiter at the door greeted him as soon as he saw him, "Hello, boss!"
Boss Yang nodded and began searching the inside of the restaurant with his eyes.
When Wu Wei heard the voice, he turned his head to look towards the door, saw him searching for himself, and thus stood up, waving at him.
Seeing Wu Wei, Boss Yang's expression was clearly astonished.
He likely hadn't expected him to be so young.
But in just an instant, astonishment turned into a smile, and he walked briskly towards him.
"Are you Mr. Wu?"
Yang Lixin approached Wu Wei with a smile on his face and said.
"Yes." Wu Wei nodded.
"I didn't expect Mr. Wu to be so young; I thought I was mistaken just now."
While Yang Lixin was saying this, he sized up Wu Wei.
He thought to himself that this must be some rich second-generation wanting to start his own business to prove his abilities, and then took a fancy to his restaurant.
Wu Wei deliberately said, "It's okay, I'm used to it."
Upon hearing this, Yang Lixin's gaze shifted slightly, and he quickly said, "Mr. Wu, it's not convenient to talk about this here; let's go upstairs to a private room to discuss."
"Alright."
Wu Wei nodded and then followed Yang Lixin to an upscale private room upstairs.
After the waiter served tea, they closed the door and began their discussion.
…
About half an hour later, the door of the private room opened.
Yang Lixin and Wu Wei walked out one after another, both faces filled with smiles.
Turning to Wu Wei, Yang Lixin shook his hand, "I'll get a lawyer to draft the contract for the store transfer, and you can come over to sign it tomorrow."
"Thanks, Mr. Yang, for your trouble."
Wu Wei said politely, "Then let's make it tomorrow morning at ten o'clock; I'll be here on time."
"Sure thing, no problem."
Yang Lixin said, and then hurriedly left the building and drove away in his car.
Wu Wei also got into his Porsche, instructing his bodyguard to drive towards the hotel.
The matter went even smoother than he had anticipated.
He spent ten million in cash to acquire the full ownership of the firepot restaurant, including all the secret base recipe formulas.
The price he paid was undoubtedly an overpayment.
But for him, the more significant the overpayment, the better.
That way, he could wash a large amount of money.
After all, an overpayment of millions was just a few hundred to him.
The firepot restaurant, taking both floors together, totaled 458 square meters, with an average daily revenue of around thirty thousand.
However, due to its high-end positioning and expensive location, the operating costs were also very high.
Especially the rent, which was a whopping 160,000 per month, far exceeding that of other firepot restaurants in different areas.
This expense alone accounted for nearly twenty percent of the revenue.
After deducting forty percent for food costs, twenty percent for labor, and utilities and other miscellaneous fees, the net profit was only about twenty percent of the revenue.
That is to say, the net profit was roughly 6,000 a day.
For such a large firepot restaurant, this was quite low.
However, when calculated, the profit is actually quite substantial.
Six thousand a day, that's 180,000 a month, and 2.16 million a year!
This restaurant was opened by Yang Lixin two years ago, and according to him, he had invested over 4 million in total.
Originally, he thought he could recoup the investment in one or two years, but due to well-known reasons, the first year barely made any money.
After the situation improved this year, the business was still far from his initial expectations.
After all, following a disaster, everyone is more inclined to save and be frugal, and consumption took a significant downgrade.
This mid-to-high-end hot pot restaurant was particularly affected.
So even up to now, he hasn't earned back even half of the more than 4 million he invested.
He had been thinking about whether things might get better after the economy recovered, but now, Wu Wei had offered him an irresistible option.
To take away 10 million in one go!
In just two short years, a 4 million investment soared more than twice over!
A net profit of 6 million!
Only a fool would say no to this deal!
Add that to the profits made from the restaurant over the past two years, and the total was close to 8 million!
It was a complete windfall!
Therefore, without saying much, he readily agreed.
After all, he might not find such a "foolish spendthrift" in the future!
And in his eyes, the "foolish spendthrift" Wu Wei was actually secretly overjoyed.
Spending 10 million in one breath, it was simply too satisfying!
His whole being felt refreshed! Continue your saga on m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net
…
At six in the evening, Wu Wei received a WeChat message from Sun Yi saying her experiment was almost over.
So he immediately drove out to pick her up.
Having not seen her for two days, he was missing her terribly.
Of course, it was mainly because he was craving… her.
Driving to the building where Sun Yi was conducting her experiment, Wu Wei immediately spotted her Wenchang M5 parked in a spot, so he found a place to park nearby.
After waiting in the car for a while, he saw Sun Yi walking out of the building.
Wu Wei promptly got out of the car and went towards her.
"Wu Wei!"
Upon seeing Wu Wei, Sun Yi's face lit up with delight, and she happily jogged over to him.
Then she threw herself into his arms.
"Baby, I've missed you so much!"
Sun Yi wrapped her arms tightly around Wu Wei and asked, "Did you miss me these past two days?"
"I did, terribly!"
Wu Wei tenderly stroked Sun Yi's head and hugged her close.
Feeling the warmth of Sun Yi's body and her fragrant scent, the painfully deprived Wu Dawei instantly underwent a physical change.
"Hm? What's that thing pressing against me?"
Sun Yi felt something hard pressing against her abdomen and felt a bit uncomfortable.
Not immediately realizing what it was, thinking Wu Wei might have a beverage bottle or something similar in his pocket, she instinctively tried to move it away with her hand.
However, when her hand touched the object, she realized it didn't feel like a beverage bottle, and she felt a wave of confusion.
What is this thing?
She immediately looked down.
When she saw her hand was resting on the obviously large bulge, her eyes suddenly widened.
"Ah!"
She couldn't help but exclaim, instantly letting go of it as if it were a hot potato.
