Here, after seeing off Mrs. Ellie, Ren opened the tent and prepared to welcome the next batch of fat sheep.
About three hours later, at three o'clock in the morning, several local big businessmen came over anxiously.
This proves that they are not as well-informed as Mrs. Ellie. They probably only found out about Hara Zaro's visit to the mayor this morning.
"Good morning, Mr. Ackerman."
"Sir, you are really diligent and always stay on the front line of work."
"I heard that you are paid on a daily basis. It is rare to see a generous and kind businessman like you. It is really admirable."
…………
As soon as they met, these shrewd businessmen had flattering smiles on their faces, and they immediately began to flatter them.
For them, this is a basic operation, and it costs nothing to flatter them anyway.
The photo made Ren very comfortable...that's weird, don't think that they can talk easily because of their good attitude.
When they approached him two days ago, they were very enthusiastic, but in fact, they did not relent when they actually negotiated the terms.
The tent area built by Rennes is far away from the city center and has a lot of space for consumption. If it is filled with refugees and shops are opened here, you can definitely make a lot of money.
This is why these businessmen are so enthusiastic. Referring to the various shops around schools on Earth, they are very profitable, and that's just for students.
Ren was also smiling, asked them to sit down, and asked: "Now, can you agree to my conditions?"
He has bought this land, and if he wants to open a store here, he must obtain his consent and pay rent.
A greasy middle-aged businessman with a beer belly laughed and patted his chest: "No problem, we like to cooperate with generous people like you."
In fact, Renn's conditions are very harsh. He not only collects rent, but also wants a share of the profits from these businessmen, although the share is not much.
This is also the reason why they didn't agree last time. Of course, the most important thing is that the businessmen are not sure if anyone will live in these tents. They don't know that a war is coming.
Ren nodded, took out a few contracts that had already been drawn up from the drawer, and handed them to them: "Everyone, sign the contract and make money happily together."
Several businessmen reached out and took over the contract. Stanley, an acquaintance of Ren's, was not among them. He was just a small merchant and was not qualified to bargain.
They had read this contract yesterday, but no one signed it immediately.
The fat businessman rubbed his hands, looked at Ren with a smile on his round face and said: "Well, Mr. Ackerman, can the share be cancelled?
We can increase the rent, it’s easy to negotiate.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Renn, who demanded a 10% profit share, which meant that for every 10 silver coins they earned, one should be given to Renn.
To be honest, the businessmen didn't want to give it much. His conditions were a bit harsh. Renn was not exempt from rent, but also had to take a share. He was very evil-minded and very greedy.
The smile on Ren's face did not diminish, and his tone was calm: "This residential area is more than 2.5 kilometers away from the nearest commercial street and vegetable market, so it is not close by foot.
If there are various shops and stalls in the community, residents will naturally not go so far, and they will accept it even if it is more expensive.
People are lazy, and there are not many people who would walk an extra 2.5 kilometers for a few copper coins.
All I want is this part of the income, and you can still make the profits you deserve."
Having said that, who wouldn't be happy if you might earn more.
Several businessmen were flattering and flattering, and Ren was very happy to hear it.
You are all right, I am indeed generous, kind-hearted, young and promising, and handsome...but he just won't let go.
He was not afraid of the uncompromising businessmen, because the city hall would also develop the nearby vacant land in the future. Susanna had learned that private stalls were not allowed in this area.
If you want to make money and get on the bus, you must follow the "rules", which is why Renn dared to ask for a share.
The Sand Sculpture Conservation Association has been recruiting people recently, including ordinary cowboys and some clerical staff. Wren plans to take charge of the property management of the residential area himself.
If you don't sign this contract, don't even think about opening a store here. Even if you are a self-employed person setting up a stall, you will still have to pay the stall fee to the big boss Ren En.
Otherwise, the community property management and the security personnel of the Sand Sculpture Protection Association will immediately smash your stall, confiscate your items, and even go to the Public Security Bureau to sue you and ask you to compensate you for a sum of money.
Yes, he is so domineering, and Renne has successfully been promoted to domineering president, but what he said is:
Gold coins, you successfully caught my attention.
Sure enough, seeing that Renn refused to give in, the businessmen had no choice but to hold their noses and sign the contract with the overlord clause.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate. Believe me, this is a mutually beneficial and win-win matter."
Seeing that the dust had settled, Renn put away the contract and announced loudly.
“A pleasure to work with!”
"Haha, you are too polite."
"We are planning to hold a banquet tonight, and Mr. Ackerman must show his respect."
Everyone responded enthusiastically, even if Rennes' contract was a bit harsh, it was still a hugely profitable business.
There are two types of military tents built by Rennes, one covering an area of 20 square meters and the other covering an area of 16 square meters.
According to the average family composition of Kangao people, 4,000 military tents are enough to house about 20,000 people, which is almost 4,000 households.
This is the basic necessities, food, housing and transportation for 20,000 people. No matter how frugal a family is, they still have to consume 1 silver coin a day.
For 4,000 families, one day is 4,000 silver coins, and one month is 120,000 silver coins!
Renn takes 10%, which is about 10,000 silver coins, excluding the self-employed people who set up stalls, which is 1,000 gold.
Including the rent, each tent costs about 2 gold coins per month, 4,000 tents is about 8,000 gold coins, and 9,000 gold coins are credited to the account in a month.
The total investment in this business in Rennes is 25,000 gold, which means that the capital can be recovered within three months. This is still a conservative estimate and the minimum standard.
Moreover, Mrs. Ellie invested 5,000 gold coins (one-fifth) and received 12% of the rent, while Ren only invested 20,000 gold coins and received 88% of the rent.
He took out a loan of 10,000 gold coins. As a master-level transcendent, the loan had no interest for one year.
In the remaining gap of another 10,000 gold coins, most of the harvest from killing Marcelo, the money from blackmailing the Bluestone Department and selling the body of Marquis Clow were invested.
Renn currently only has 1,200 gold coins left on him, a fourth-level blood core, a storage ring, and a small amount of resources.
But it's all worth it and the rewards are huge.
Even Mrs. Ellie, who seems to have been ripped off by Ren, can still make a lot of money. She gets 12% of the rent of 8,000 gold coins, which is 960 gold a month.
She can get her money back in about 5 months, and the war will start in a year, with an unknown duration, and she and Ren have another deal.
After this business, she can earn enough money to advance to the fourth level with the top plan!
A cannon fires, and a thousand taels of gold!
Selling arms is not the only way to make war fortune.
