Chapter 2089 The Most Handsome Landlord On The Street
Mag used 30 minutes to convey to Fitch the distribution and composition of businesses that the system designed and the rental that shocked Fitch.
Then Mag bought all the buildings that were recently put up for sale. He bought another 30-odd properties.
“Mr. Hades, you are such an extraordinary person.” Fitch watched Mag sign on the subscription documents with complicated emotions.
Even though he was earning another several hundred thousands, he felt guilty watching Mag sink deeper and deeper. As for the business plan that Mr. Hades mentioned earlier, the rental rate that was several times higher than the current Romo Street’s rental rate was an absurd idea. “Go to Romo Street in the afternoon, and put up your contact details on my vacant houses. People will be looking for you very soon,” Mag said with a smile.
“Alright. That’s part of my job. I will bring my people there immediately after I settle the documents.” Fitch nodded with a smile.
Perhaps an easy customer like Hades was every salesperson’s favorite.
The sales of 33 properties had completed Fitch’s first month requirement after he was promoted to a supervisor. He wondered if he could have dinner with the boss’ daughter tonight, and perhaps go further with her.
Mag could see through Fitch’s thinking, but the man’s attitude was good, and his ability was not bad, so Mag was willing to work with him. He didn’t care about his other thoughts.
Fitch sent Mag out, and arranged for the shop’s horse-drawn carriage to send him home.
Mag sat in the horse-drawn carriage, and stretched out lazily and comfortably.
He was so young, and he was going to collect rent until his hands shook and he became the most handsome landlord on the street.
The lifestyle of the rich was just dull and boring

“Supervisor, you are so out of this world. You just sold 33 properties in a blink of an eye.” The staff member who had gone to call Fitch earlier looked at him with admiration.
“It’s just normal operation.” Fitch placed the documents onto the table calmly. “Sort out these documents, and then follow me to Romo Street.”
“Alrighty,” that person answered. He picked up the documents on the table, and curiously asked, “Why are we going to Romo Street? Didn’t you sell all the properties there already?”
“The buyer wants us to help rent out these properties, so we are going to stick to the rent notices there,” Fitch answered.
“Would anyone still want to rent a shop there?” That person was perplexed, but he still returned to his seat with the documents.
Soon, Fitch brought his men to Romo Street. The street was still cold and destitute as before. There weren’t many pedestrians on the street now, and some shops were on the verge of closing, while many had “for rent” notices stuck on them.
His subordinate flicked a glance at the tavern with its doors half-closed, and whispered, “I think it won’t take long before all shops close down on this street.”
Fitch sighed inwardly. Romo Street had been glorious once too. However, he quickly retracted his gaze, pushed the glue bucket into his subordinate’s hands, and said, “We are paid to do a job. Let’s stick to all the notices quickly. We need to stick to over 100 notices.”
The subordinate couldn’t help asking a question as he worked. “Supervisor, what background that boss comes from? He simply bought up over 100 properties. No matter how cheap they are, he will still need to pay one to two billion copper coins in cash. Is he really that rich?”
“He said he came from a normal family. Do you believe him?” Fitch threw him a look.
“This… We also can’t say we don’t, right?” The subordinate shrugged his shoulders.
“Then let’s move quickly. The weather is so cold. Won’t it be comfortable to go back and toast ourselves at the fireplace.” Fitch rolled his eyes at him. He was also carrying a bucket of glue and sticking the notices on the doors.
Romo Street wasn’t big, and it was mainly made up of old houses. However, these old houses could all be demolished and rebuilt. This wasn’t hard for the construction teams with cultivators. It would be even cheaper than remodeling the old properties.
However, Fitch didn’t believe there would be idiots coming here to rent properties. It was obviously a money-losing deal. Unless… another Mr. Hades came along.
“Excuse me, is this property for rent?” a voice spoke up behind Fitch.
Fitch turned around, and saw two rather well-dressed middle-aged men behind them.
Fitch showed a professional smile and nodded. “Yes, Sir. This property is for rent. Apart from this property, we have over 100 properties for rent on this street too.”
Shocked, the tall and thin middle-aged man on the left said, “Over 100 properties? All yours?”
“No, we are just the agents responsible for renting out the properties.” Fitch shook his head and sized them up reservedly.
Judging from their clothes, both of them should be rich upper-class people. Perhaps he had really bumped into idiots? Was his luck really that good?! “Agents.” The two of them realized.
“How big is this property? How much is its annual rental?” the short and fat man asked.
Fitch flipped through the documents Mag passed to him that morning, and quickly found this building’s number. He answered, “The single floor area of this building is 200 square meters. There are three floors above ground and one underground cellar. The first year’s rental is 200,000 copper coins.”
“200,000 copper coins? Isn’t it too expensive for such a location and human traffic’s conditions?” The middle-aged man frowned. He was obviously not very satisfied with the price.
“This is the price that the owner asked for. We have no right to change it.” Fitch laughed awkwardly. He had already told Mag that the price was double that of the market price, but Mag insisted on it.
Fitch promoted it enthusiastically. “However, if you look at this building, it’s considered very new on Romo Street, and its interior is still very much intact. It was a tavern previously, and many of the things that were left behind could be used right away. If you weren’t on Romo Street, but on the other streets, it wouldn’t be this price.”
“It’s true that we can’t find such cheap shops if we aren’t on Romo Street, but it’s precisely why it shouldn’t be this price because it’s on Romo Street.” The tall and lean man shook his head with a smile. He pointed at a tavern that had a “for sale” sign hanging on its door. “That old tavern’s stamp duty + one year’s rental is only 200,000 copper coins, and we can start our business as soon as we take over it. Isn’t that better?”
“That’s indeed a better choice.” Fitch nodded in agreement. These two were obviously smart businessmen.
The short and fat middle-aged man looked around him, and then said to Fitch, “You guys are agents, so do you know if there are any other shops for sale on Romo Street?”
“Shops?” Fitch and his subordinate had a surprised expression.
It was already weird enough that these two seemingly weird businessmen came to rent shops on Romo Street, but they even came to ask about shops for sale. Could they really be two dupes?
However, Mr. Hades had bought all the properties for sale on Romo Street. These 33 buildings sold today were the last batch.
The rest were basically occupied by the owners who lived there or already rented for income. There was no inclination for sale.
Fitch shook his head, and said, “I’m sorry. Just today, the last 33 properties were already sold, and there are no shops for sale on Romo Street currently.”
