"Damn it, are Eternal Peak so awesome now? They even swallowed up Lingyue City!"

"It's terrible. How did their guild do it?"

"Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about this new contract. Why has the rent almost doubled?"

"Isn't their guild obviously trying to steal money?"

"You also doubled the price? It turns out that everyone is the same!"

"Damn it, their guild is so shameless, they actually raised the price on the ground! I protest!"

"I also protest!"

...

Because the property rights of buildings in major cities in Apocalypse Continent are all contracted.

Shop owners can only spend money to rent the shop and have no independent property rights.

This situation is exactly the same as in the Eternal City.

Therefore, after the ownership of Lingyue City changes, they must sign a new contract.

And because the rent in this contract is set in accordance with the business standards of the Eternal City.

Therefore, the price is nearly twice as expensive as before.

No one can bear it. The "landlord" suddenly doubled the rent.

Naturally, it triggered a joint boycott from the major bosses.

However, when Cheng Qianmo saw clearly the new terms of the contract, he did not feel it was inappropriate.

Because in his eyes, the store locations in Eternal City belong to "blue chip stocks."

Judging from the current popularity and scale of the Eternal City, as well as its future development potential, doing business here is definitely a profitable business.

Now these people feel it is not suitable, so they don’t have to rent it at all.

Of course there will be knowledgeable people who will line up with banknotes to buy.

At that time, we will even need to consider whether these newly converted shops will be enough for everyone to buy.

Therefore, Cheng Qianmo is not worried at all about the sales of the shop.

However, at this moment, there are already signs of joint resistance in Lingyue City.

"We cannot be exploited by Eternal Peak for no reason. Let's unite together and don't sign a new contract."

"Yes, as long as everyone works together, they will definitely return to the original price when they are under pressure."

"Huh, the situation is now smaller. We can even use this opportunity to jointly lower prices!"

"Count me in, no one else wants to sign!"

...

I don’t know who started it, but many people are now advocating not to sign a new contract with Eternal Peak.

There are even some who are more courageous and want to take advantage of the opportunity to "force out the palace" and lower the rent.

At first, everyone was relatively united, but no one signed the contract.

Cheng Qianmo showed a joking smile after seeing that no one had done anything for several minutes.

"You won't sign it, right?"

"No problem, don't regret it."

With Cheng Qianmo's intelligence, it was easy to guess what these shop owners were thinking.

But he doesn't care.

Soon, he randomly selected five or six shops from the list of recovered properties.

Then their property rights will be recovered instantly and they will no longer be rented to the original tenants.

This move to "reverse the general's army" immediately caused several screams to erupt in Lingyue City in the distance.

"Fuck, my shop was taken back, and they were so decisive!"

"Damn it, the blacksmith shop I finally managed is gone!"

"Which bastard said that we wanted to boycott? This herbal medicine shop I opened for almost 8 years is now gone!"

"Do they, Eternal Peak, want to go against all businessmen?"

Because these bosses were wailing very loudly, the news quickly spread throughout Lingyue City.

Now many people finally panicked.

Especially those bosses who have been rooted in Lingyue City for many years.

Their store has already built a reputation, has a stable customer base, and naturally has a high income.

Even if the rent is doubled, they won't be able to afford it, they will just earn less.

So after some thought, they decided to sign the contract quietly.

After all, it is better to make less than nothing.

If you really anger Eternal Peak, you can turn around and take away the property rights of the store.

All the customers he had accumulated over the years were wasted.

Moreover, this type of boss who can make money has a higher vision than others.

They know that following the everlasting peak of the sun, they will definitely not be worse than before.

So soon more and more people compromised.

A few minutes later, the list in Cheng Qianmo's hand gradually began to update information.

A smile finally appeared on his face.

"It seems there are some smart people who know who to follow to make money."

"And since the rest of the idiots can't figure it out, I'll do whatever they want!"

In Cheng Qianmo's view, it is better to waste these scarce shop quotas on mediocre people.

It's better to take it back yourself and redistribute it to more capable businessmen.

This will make you more money.

So he speeded up the recycling of shops again.

Now the merchants in Lingyue City were completely trapped in Bengbu.

Everyone was like crazy and rushed to sign the new contract in their hands.

He was afraid that Cheng Qianmo's "butcher's knife" would hit him on the head in the next second.

At this moment, the psychological defenses of the merchants in the city were finally defeated by Cheng Qianmo's ruthlessness.

Only 4 minutes later, all the businessmen whose property rights had not been taken back signed new contracts doubling the rent!

In this wave, everyone who signs a contract needs to pay the rent for the next year in advance.

Therefore, the Eternal City received a large amount of gold coins.

Although Fan Hanyu and others did not understand what Cheng Qianmo had just done, they saw the funds in the guild's books.

First it went from more than 3 million to 1 million, and now it has skyrocketed to more than 4.3 million in an instant.

They were all dumbfounded.

Cheng Qianmo smiled slightly and briefly explained what he had just done.

After hearing this, everyone expressed their admiration.

After the "rent collection" operation ended, Cheng Qianmo opened the construction page.

He wanted to see if any new buildings would appear after the guild reached level nine.

The next second, he showed a surprised expression.
Chapter completed!
