Chapter 388.

“Mr. Mao, our boss said, zero rent for three days is too short, at least ten days to start, in addition, increase the price by fifty percent.” Early the next morning, Tang Tao asked the person to come to his office to talk.

Ten days to rent, but also increase the price by fifty percent! This was clearly a lion’s mouth.

When Mr. Mao heard this news, his chest almost exploded with anger, this is completely blackmail, there is no such thing.

However, he also knows that the sale is imminent, there is no time for him to go back and continue to consider, this batch of collected items if you continue to put in the hands, it may be smashed in their own hands, or perhaps the reputation will be affected.

Other venues, she has offered to add thirty percent to the original rent, no one dared to agree to rent to them.

All very clear, this money earned, trouble constantly, do not want to cause trouble.

Only this continental swimming pool, the boss behind is a high-ranking person in the inspectorate, not afraid of trouble, out of trouble may be able to solve the trouble.

However, their offer was already much higher than other venues, and now they are also asking to rent more than ten days in one breath, and the rent is even increased by fifty percent.

This made the already stretched funds even tighter.

This is not a matter for him alone, but if we go back to discuss and come back now, what if they change their minds again? For this kind of thing, it was safest to finalize the lease contract as soon as possible.

“Manager Tang, can we rent it for five days, with a slight discount on the rent?”

Tang Tao sighed tersely in his heart, are their own people, but they have to pretend not to know, but also have to be ruthless up to refuse, this play, it is really a little bit of a bad taste, however, for the sake of the big picture, he can only harden his heart: “This is our boss’s decision, if Mr. Mao does not agree, then there is no way out.”

“Can I see your boss for a moment?”

“No, our boss doesn’t see insignificant people, and to be honest, it doesn’t matter whether or not this single business of yours matters to him.” Tang Tao said with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Some words were really not good enough to be said explicitly.

“But, I don’t have so much money on hand right now to pay in advance?”

“This is not a big problem, Mr. Mao is a decent person, and our boss is not someone who is afraid of being reneged on, as long as the lease agreement is signed, the rest can be negotiated.” Tang Tao breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the other party would back out and not rent it.

According to the rules of the short lease, at least seventy percent of the rent must be paid up front, there is also a deposit, such a sum of money, for the Vocational Rescue Society, it is really not small, their activities next spend a lot of money, can’t use all the money to give the rent.

Finally some bargaining, agreed to pay thirty percent of the rent in advance, half of the time, pay forty percent, and then pay the remaining thirty percent after the final end.

As for the deposit, it was waived.

This was still agreed upon after half an hour of wrangling in the office, and Tang Tao called Cheng Mo again to confirm.

“Mr. Mao, are you really hiring our security?” After signing the lease agreement, Tang Tao once again asked.

Mr. Mao was also torn, hiring security, that’s another large sum of money, and it’s still unknown how much money can be raised from this charity sale in the end.

Such a sum of money does not know how many more sets of cotton clothes and shoes can be added to the frontline anti-Japanese soldiers, he felt that what can be saved should be saved.

Although there are people in the past in the charity sale to make trouble, in the end are not all solved well, this time should not have any problem.

Therefore, he immediately refused.

“This stingy, can’t do great things.” Cheng Mo sighed when he commented afterward.

Cheng Mo received this money, he didn’t intend to put it in his pocket, he would still return it, only, right now he couldn’t say anything.

He insisted that the other party rent for ten days, but he also hoped that the other party could seize these ten days to organize some more charity sale-type activities to raise more money for the anti-Japanese soldiers. As for whether or not they could understand or think of this, that would depend on their enlightenment.

Words he couldn’t say explicitly.

“You really don’t care, when the time comes, 76 will definitely send people in to smash the scene and make trouble?” Tang Tao asked in surprise.

“When the time comes, I’ll have Old Xu bring a team of people over to be on duty.” Cheng Mo considered it for a moment, he really couldn’t just leave it alone.

“A team of people is only not enough ……”

“I know it’s not enough, if I do too much, do you think 76 that Lin Shiqun is stupid?” Cheng Mo said, “If they hired our security, that’s another story, take money to do things, which no one can say anything.”

“Alright, maybe Lin Shiqun will look at your face and will restrain some.”

“Don’t take my face too big, I have no direct conflict with Lin Shiqun, but his men that Wu Sibao hates me to the bone, you think, he will not seize this opportunity to screw me a little?”

“How do I feel, you’re utilizing this matter to set up a trap for Wu Sibao to drill?” Tang Tao suddenly asked.

“Huh.” Cheng Mo didn’t say anything, this would be good if everyone thought that this was a personal grudge between him and Wu Sibao.

“When will the charity sale start?”

“This weekend, I think, they need to ship the goods over first, I still have to arrange the venue and make room for them.” Tang Tao said, “Key, I don’t have enough manpower here.”

“Don’t be anxious, the manpower will be available soon.” Cheng Mo said.

When Tang Tao saw Cheng Mo say this, he didn’t ask any more questions, he abided by the discipline of underground work and didn’t ask what he shouldn’t ask.

Cheng Mo soon received a call from Lu Jingshi, the higher-ups agreed to his request in principle, the lonely military camp side, willing to take off their uniforms and leave, can go.

Officers, squad and platoon level can also be, but the number must be controlled, at most one-third can only go.

However, this still needs to be communicated with the British side.

If the British agree, then this can be done.

There is also the Japanese side, also need to obtain a certain tacit understanding, otherwise, there will be trouble afterwards, this needs to be coordinated by Cheng Mo.

On the British side, Cheng Mo had already mentioned to Tony Kai Ziwei, in fact, they were also very afraid of this untimely bomb of the Lone Army Camp, who knew when it would explode, and the Japanese were always looking for trouble with this, and they were not tired of it.

If it can be solved properly, they will be happy to do so. The British don’t have a bad relationship with the Chungking side, and don’t want to cut ties with Chungking for Japan.

It is acceptable to keep the officers and release the lower level soldiers to be received by the Volunteer Corps of the Bureau of Public Works, no matter whether they are integrated into the Chinese Corps, or directly from the discharge, into the general population.

The Japanese are only interested in Xie Zhongmin these officers, as long as these officers are still there, the release of ordinary soldiers, it is just a scattered sand, not to worry about, if they are not assured, they can be sent to supervise it.

Cheng Mo this side through Chiyoko to the Japanese side of the message, he wants to enhance their own in the Ministry of Public Works Bureau of the strength of the patrol room, looking at the lonely military camp where the well-trained soldiers.

As for why it would be soldiers from the Lone Army Camp, this is something they can completely brainstorm, it’s not like his past experience at the Four Row Warehouse is a secret.

It’s up to the Japanese to see if they have the gumption.
