Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 681 Store Manager Obara’s Purpose

The three of them came to sit down on the guest sofa, and Mengyu served tea to the store manager Ohara.

Ohara store manager Chao Yu Gongming smiled and said: "You are so lucky, this girl is beautiful and so sensible. You can't bully her!"

"Look what you said, I have such a beautiful girlfriend, and I can't even spoil her. How can I be willing to bully her?" Yu Gongming said with a smile.

But I was muttering secretly in my heart, it’s really hard to say who would bully whom in a fight...

Meng Yu was a little embarrassed and pushed Yu Gongming hard with Ben Bo: "Hey! What are you talking about in front of the guests!"

Yu Gongming looked innocent; "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm telling the truth!"

Meng Yu's face turned red and she stared at him fiercely: "Hey! Did you get the point wrong!?"

Seeing this, store manager Ohara couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha! I really envy you young people!"

Yu Gongming smiled slightly, gently held Meng Yu's hand to comfort her, and then finally got to the point: "Manager Ohara, why did you come to my place?"

Manager Ohara put away his smile and said, "I came here this time to ask if you are interested in the store downstairs?"

Yu Gongming was stunned: "Oh? Uncle, do you mean that you don't plan to continue running the convenience store?"

Store Manager Obara nodded: "Yes, my son has been living in Hokkaido before, and he added a boy to our Obara family some time ago, which made me very happy!"

"That is indeed a happy event. Congratulations to Uncle Ohara. The family is really prosperous!" Yu Gongming congratulated.

Store Manager Obara was obviously very impressed by Yu Gongming's words, and he laughed and said: "Yes, I went to the temple to pray to the Bodhisattva before and donated hundreds of thousands of yuan. It seems that the Bodhisattva felt my sincerity!"

Yu Gongming had never felt much about this kind of praying to gods and Buddhas. He casually echoed a few words and then returned to the previous topic:

"Then Uncle Ohara, you suddenly gave up running a convenience store because..."

"That's right!" Store manager Ohara nodded and said with a smile:

"Because both my son and daughter-in-law are busy with work, they are not comfortable hiring a nanny, so I, an old man, have no choice but to go over and help take care of my grandson!"

"Uncle, you are not old, you are not even fifty yet!" Yu Gongming said with a smile.

Store manager Ohara waved his hand: "I will be fifty next year, and I have reached the age where I know my destiny. You see, I am already a grandfather!"

After a pause, store manager Obara continued: "After all, I have opened a store here for more than ten years, so I still have some feelings for this store."

"Although for the sake of my little grandson, I still hope to hand over this store to a reliable person."

"I have watched you grow up, so I naturally know your character. Moreover, after you took over this detective agency, you were even better than your father."

"If I can leave the store to you, I can go to Hokkaido with peace of mind."

"Don't worry, everyone is not an outsider, I will give you a very favorable price!"

When Yu Gongming heard this, he subconsciously refused.

Now he has to run this detective agency to his limit. He also has to participate in Conan's cases from time to time, and he really is not in the mood to take care of the facade on the first floor.

Just as he was about to speak, Yu Gongming suddenly felt something in his heart: "Huh? I remember that there seems to be a basement under the Obara convenience store, which is used as a warehouse for storing goods..."

Thinking of this, Yu Gongming immediately changed his words: "Uncle, when you transfer the store, it should also include the basement below, right?"

"Of course! That basement was originally used as a warehouse for me to store goods. Now that the store is gone, what is the warehouse for?"

Yu Gongming nodded slightly and continued to ask: "I am indeed a little interested. I wonder, uncle, at what price are you going to sell it to me?"

Store manager Ohara smiled and said: "Don't worry, I am also your elder, I will not cheat you. When I bought this store, it cost 20 million, but it was still quite lively at that time."

"Now, more than ten years have passed, and these are already old houses. Moreover, as time has passed, this place has become much deserted, and it no longer has such high commercial value."

"This way, for ten million, this store is yours! What do you think?"

When Yu Gongming heard the price, his eyes flashed.

It seems that the other party is really not trying to trick him. It can even be said that the price is already quite low.

According to his understanding, if he wanted to buy the Obara convenience store and its basement, even if it was a second-hand house, it would cost him fifteen million.

Now the other party has offered a price of 10 million, which is indeed quite favorable!

Yu Gongming hesitated for a moment, but did not continue bargaining.

After all, he has been frequenting the Obara convenience store in the past few months, and he can feel the store manager's "elderly to younger" care.

Although this love is for the original person, after getting along with him for so many months, he also respects this stocky and kind store manager very much.

Now that the other party has given such a favorable price, he is really embarrassed to continue to lower the price.

After thinking for a while, Yu Gongming said: "Okay, the price of ten million is very reasonable."

"Great!" Store manager Xiao Yuan beamed with joy: "Let's go! I'll take you to see the store and the basement. If there are no problems, you can sign the contract!"

Naturally, Yu Gongming had no objection.

He actually already knew the structure and layout of the convenience store before. After all, he occasionally helped the store manager move some goods to the basement.

However, since the store manager took the initiative, he was certainly willing to confirm again.

"The store manager is indeed a kind person!" Yu Gongming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Later, Yu Gongming and Meng Yu followed the store manager downstairs.

The convenience store was closed at this moment, and the store manager opened the rolling shutter door, revealing the empty convenience store.

"I have cleaned up all the debris in the past few days, just take a look!" Store manager Ohara said with a smile.

Yu Gongming nodded slightly, leaving an empty room would save a lot of trouble.

Hanemiya Akira and Mengyu walked into the convenience store and visited the store and basement under the guidance of store manager Obara.

Looking at the ten-meter-long, six-meter-wide, and three-meter-high basement below, Yu Gongming walked around and patted the basement wall from time to time.

After a long time, he finally nodded with satisfaction: "The wall is very strong, and the sound insulation effect should be good..."

After visiting the store, several people returned to the office. Store Manager Obara looked at Hanemiya Akira with a hopeful look on his face: "How was it? Are you satisfied?"

Yu Gongming smiled and nodded: "Yeah! No problem."

Store Manager Obara immediately took out the contract from his bag with a smile on his face: "So, can we sign the contract?"

"Of course!" Yu Gongming took the contract with a smile and looked at it item by item.

After seeing that there was no problem, Yu Gongming neatly took out his ballpoint pen and signed his name.
