Chapter 1712: Increase the stakes
I saw there were other guests besides my father.
Meng Lin's wife immediately went to make a pot of Longjing tea.
While drinking tea, Meng Lincai briefly introduced himself.
Meng Lin's wife's eyes were all red and she didn't have time to say anything just now.
Now that the gangsters had returned all the things and the people were gone, she dared to tell the truth.
It turns out that just a few days after Boss Meng was taken away, gangsters came to the house and wanted to smash things.
Then I saw that they really had no money at home, so I thought about moving everything away.
Their daughter was also at home at the time. Seeing that there was a young daughter, the gangsters had evil thoughts.
In the end, it was Meng Lin's wife who begged and persuaded loudly to finally save her daughter.
From then on, my daughter also began to feel a little depressed. She locked herself in her room all day long, for fear that she would be captured by gangsters when she went out.
"It's so lawless!" Wu Ning slapped the table. What he hated most was the bastards who robbed civilian girls.
Lin Ran also felt that what they did went too far. Even if they were betting on dogs, as long as they could punish themselves, that would be enough.
As the saying goes, no harm comes to the family. What they did was a bit excessive. They must talk to Song Qiang about it later.
Song Qiang is really too much. He doesn't care about doing these things in Sichuan Province. He dares to do this in the capital. He really doesn't take the people of the capital seriously.
"Don't worry, I know their boss. These gangsters will definitely not cause trouble for you in the future." Lin Ran comforted.
"Really?" Meng Lin's daughter's eyes flickered. She was indeed frightened. She locked herself in the room all day long and did not dare to come out even if she heard her father's voice.
"Yes, I promise." Lin Ran confirmed.
Let alone Song Qiang's subordinates, even if Song Qiang came today, he would have to hold back.
Boss Meng picked up the tea cup and cried bitterly: "Mr. Lin, you are really my reborn parents!"
"No need." Lin Ran didn't want such a useless son, so he said instead: "Don't borrow money to gamble anymore, think more about your children."
He even said to Meng Lin's wife: "If he goes out to gamble again in the future, you should get divorced as soon as possible. Then if there are any gangsters coming to cause trouble in the future, just call the police."
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!" Meng Lin said quickly.
Sitting in the living room, they chatted for a while.
After confirming that there was no problem, Meng Lin knew that it was almost time for them to get down to business.
So I made an excuse to send the two of them away, leaving only the three of them in the living room.
"Boss Meng, we have already taken care of your matter for you. Now is it time to fulfill the contents of the supplementary contract?" Wu Ning said lightly.
Wu Ning had already guessed Lin Ran's thoughts when they signed the cooperation agreement.
The content of the supplementary agreement actually means that if Meng Lin's store needs to be transferred, they have the right of first refusal.
"Isn't this inappropriate?" Meng Lin said with a sad face: "Didn't I already send the things to your auction house? They will arrive tomorrow."
Seeing that he was acting rogue again, Lin Ran didn't say anything and just sneered.
Meng Lin had just been taken out of the basement, and now he didn't dare to offend Lin Ran at all. Seeing him sneer, he was even more frightened.
Lin Ran knew that silent threats would frighten him more at this time, so he deliberately remained silent.
"A contract is a contract. Do you think you can still run a store like this?" Wu Ning asked.
Their idea is actually very simple. If the contract continues to be performed, they will make up for the remaining payment as long as the contract is required.
But if his store continues to operate like this, it will be a matter of time before it goes bankrupt.
So it was better to sell the store to Lin Ran now.
Boss Meng was naturally not happy: "You want to take over my store for only 15? Do you know how much Panjiayuan's store is worth?"
"30." Wu Ning said, "I have already done some research. Even if it is a new store located relatively close to the door, 30 is more than enough."
"That's it, do you want to forcefully buy and sell at half price?" Meng Lin became more stubborn now, but I don't know if he was so tough when facing creditors before.
"You don't have to worry about this. The 15 just now was the money to buy the store." Wu Ning explained.
"There is also 15 in cash, which is the goods in your store."
Judging from the current state of his family, he must be very short of money.
15 was enough for him to start a small business and make a comeback.
Compared with other gambling dogs, he was really lucky. He met Lin Ran at the most dangerous time.
Boss Meng was naturally not happy. According to his estimation, the principal of 15 was not even comparable to the money he won back then.
"I don't think this can be done." Boss Meng objected again, then knelt on the ground with a plop, "Mr. Lin, you are different from those people. You won't cut off my family's food, right?"
Lin Ran smiled coldly. He had already guessed that Meng Lin might do this.
The worst case scenario is that Meng Lin refuses to admit his guilt.
And he couldn't tie him up and take away all his belongings like the gangsters did.
In the end, it will only turn into Boss Meng playing rogue, stalling for time with them, and finally letting it go.
This kind of thing was very common in the early 80s. Due to lack of capacity, the courts' enforcement efforts were usually not very strong.
Lin Ran said: "Are you sure you only have these debts?"
Listening to his tone, Lin Ran felt that this matter was not simple.
He was so anxious to get money, and he didn't want to sell the store to them, so it was obvious that he just wanted to raise the price.
If you think about his personality, a businessman like him should be able to accept some bridge loans.
Originally, Meng Lin wanted to keep hiding it, but seeing Lin Ran's serious look, he guessed that he might not be able to hide his affairs from him.
So he sighed heavily.
"Anyway, my wife is not here right now. Let me tell you, in fact, I also borrowed 6 yuan from Wang Dehua."
Oh, there is a nest of crows in the world, and he is actually related to Wang Dehua.
The two black shop owners actually still have this connection.
"After Wang Dehua found out that my shop had been robbed, he also added insult to injury and strongly demanded that I pay back the money tomorrow. He also said that if I didn't pay back, he would destroy my shop."
At this point, Meng Lin pretended to squeeze out a few tears.
"Mr. Lin, you won't refuse to save me until you die, right?"
On the surface, he was pretending to cry, but in his heart, he was thinking that he wanted to take money from good people. Bad people were more ruthless than him and could not afford to offend him. A good person like Lin Ran would naturally take advantage of him.
