Convincing the landlord to back out, taking back the Celestial Fortune Clothing store’s shop, is also a means of squeezing.
For this small shop, Zuo Han doesn’t really care, after all, six together are only 240 square meters, just equivalent to one large store of Qin Yun’s.
Celestial Fortune Clothing has nine stores, and he is currently targeting three large ones, not considering the six small ones.
Because, if the same tactic were applied to six small shops and slowly wear them down, it would not be beneficial for Cold Dew Clothing.
If not prepared to squeeze, but also not wanting Qin Yun’s six small shops to thrive.
After all, these six stores are definitely profitable.
So he persuaded the landlord, who wants to take back the shop. According to his estimation, Qin Yun will surely disagree, allowing the landlord to cause some trouble, causing disturbances in the shop, which the police might not handle well.
Gradually, business at the small stores of Celestial Fortune Clothing opened by Qin Yun is bound to get worse.
"President Zuo, what if Qin Yun agrees?" the middle-aged man inquired.
Zuo Han smiled slightly, saying, "If Qin Yun agrees, then have the landlord renege again, without refunding the rent."
Generally, when a clothing store is running well, suddenly being targeted, it’s impossible to close the store directly.
The six stores Qin Yun operates are doing well, it won’t close down just because of targeting.
But even if it escalates, and Qin Yun prepares to close the store, the landlord reneges again, how uncomfortable would that be for Qin Yun?
In short, he devised a series of plans against the Celestial Fortune Clothing store to suppress and squeeze comprehensively, ultimately forcing the Celestial Fortune Clothing store to close down.
Zuo Han smiled, "No matter what happens with those six small stores, we must create enough trouble for Qin Yun. As for the big stores, I continue to suppress, and the landlord won’t refund the rent, the purpose is to continuously exhaust Celestial Fortune’s funds."
The Celestial Fortune Clothing store can relocate, but the hundreds of thousands of rent paid would be lost.
As for getting the landlord to follow their lead, it’s due to having sufficient capital.
...
"President Qin, this includes all Cold Dew Clothing branches in Jinling, with information on store size, exact location, etc."
When Zuo Han received the lawyer’s letter, Zhao Tianqiang handed some materials to Qin Yun.
Earlier, Qin Yun had asked him to thoroughly investigate.
Cold Dew Clothing has nine stores in Jinling, and now to squeeze Qin Yun’s Celestial Fortune Clothing, two more have been opened, making a total of eleven.
Four of them are located at the same places as Celestial Fortune stores.
Qin Yun examined them carefully, after which he pondered briefly and asked, "Around these shops, are there many stores up to forty square meters available for outright purchase by businesses?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianqiang nodded and said, "I’ve looked into it, there are indeed quite a few such properties, at least two places with full sale offers, as property prices have become hard to increase these days."
Since last year, the increase in property prices seems to have hit a plateau, in some areas even seeing significant drops.
Of course, those are very few cases, the rise in property prices is still mainstream, but the increase has slowed significantly, the possibility of getting rich quickly isn’t high.
So, if someone wants to make a full payment to buy a shop, many are willing to sell.
"Alright, pick out seven places with forty square meters and four places with over two hundred square meters for me. My first requirement is a good location, second proximity to Cold Dew Clothing, third, that the shop landlords are willing to sell outright," he instructed directly.
Now, Cold Dew Clothing is coming on strong, eager to crush his Celestial Fortune Clothing.
If Qin Yun didn’t retaliate against this blow, he wouldn’t be Qin Yun.
Previously, when Sun Yadong raised the rent to sky-high levels, he ended up losing thousands in Qin Yun’s retaliation, leaving in disgrace.
Qin Yun never considered himself a good person, if attacked, be prepared for significant losses!
Cold Dew Clothing is immensely powerful, but with the Wealth Gathering Array, he isn’t worried. In the business world, he fears no one.
Moreover, Cold Dew Clothing’s main influence is in Hang City, Zhe Province, here in Jinling, its influence is much less.
According to Qin Yun’s plan, his expansion in Su Province will take at least another half-year, temporarily not connecting with Zhe Province, avoiding direct confrontation with Cold Dew Clothing.
This gives him the courage to retaliate now.
He isn’t foolish either, if he were in Hang City, right under Cold Dew’s nose, resistance would be impossible, facing a tough situation, he’d choose not to engage, wait silently for an opportunity.
From the current situation, in another half-year, if he occupies the entire Su Province market, he would not fear the entire Cold Dew Clothing!
"Alright, President Qin, I’ll get these things done as soon as possible." Listening to Qin Yun, Zhao Tianqiang nodded directly.
For Qin Yun’s instructions, he never questions much, as this was made clear by Qin Yun at the start.
His job is to manage the clothing store well for Qin Yun, without worrying about other matters.
Buzz...
At that moment, Qin Yun’s phone rang unexpectedly.
Looking at the caller ID, Qin Yun immediately frowned.
"Hello."
He answered the phone directly.
After a few words, Qin Yun hung up the phone.
"President Qin, was it the landlord?" Zhao Tianqiang couldn’t help but ask.
He also saw the caller ID just now.
"Yes, the landlord said they won’t rent us the shop anymore," Qin Yun said in a deep voice.
"What?"
Upon hearing, Zhao Tianqiang’s face changed, exclaiming angrily, "This must be the doing of Cold Dew Clothing."
"Of course, it’s them," Qin Yun’s expression darkened slightly.
"Let’s go, we’ll first head to the clothing store."
The two of them left from there, swiftly heading to a spot.
...
Upon arriving at a shop, a middle-aged man was already waiting there.
"Boss." Seeing Qin Yun walk in, the store manager immediately approached.
She was a woman around thirty, named Zhao Yue, whom Qin Yun had hired later on.
"Boss Qin, you’re finally here." The middle-aged man, hearing Zhao Yue’s words, looked towards Qin Yun and his eyes lit up as he quickly approached.
"Boss Lin."
Gazing at the somewhat chubby middle-aged man, Qin Yun asked, "What brings you to me?"
This man was Lin Daqiang, the landlord of the shop.
Upon hearing Qin Yun’s inquiry, Lin Daqiang’s face showed slight embarrassment, saying, "Boss Qin, didn’t I mention over the phone? I won’t rent the shop anymore, planning to take it back."
Hearing this, Qin Yun’s expression immediately turned cold, "Boss Lin, are you playing games with me? It’s been less than a month since we signed the contract, with eleven months remaining, I’ve paid for a year, and now you say you’re taking back the shop?"
