Good afternoon, Zongyuan! The construction party of the Shenzhen hotel has asked us to go to Shenzhen to discuss the settlement. I have a few questions: 1. Which two days next week are favorable to go to Shenzhen for the negotiation? 2. Is it better to negotiate at the hotel between both parties, or at the sub-district mediation office with a third party present? 3. How much should we offer this time? What final amount can we reach? Thank you for your guidance. 🤲🤲🤲😀

道长下午好！深圳酒店的施工方约我们去深圳商谈结算的事项我想咨询以下几个点：1、下个星期哪两天去深圳商谈比较有利？ 2、谈判地点是在酒店双方谈判，还是在街道调解办公室有第三方在比较好？3、这一次谈判我们出价多少？最终多少金额能够达成？请道长指点。🤲🤲🤲😀

Zongyuan

What is the current rough price range?

目前大致的金额区间是多少?

Client

The appraisal company assessed the amount at 8.9 million. It should be settled between 8 and 8.9 million?

评估公司评估的金额是890万，应该在800-890万之间能够了结?

Zongyuan

Alright, let me take a look.

好的我看一眼

Client

Okay.

好

A few notes: 1. The power of metal is auspicious, so for the negotiation, you can go on the afternoons of July 9 and July 10. 2. Metal represents the commander, and also reliable government institutions, so try to find a place with third-party supervision, such as a mediation office, or places related to the police, procuratorate or court.

几个提示: 1 见金的力量为吉，因此在谈判的时候，可以选择7/9,7/10 这两天的下午去谈判。 2 金为统帅，也是比较靠谱的政府机构，因此尽量找有第三方监管的地方，比如调解处，或者警局，公检法有关的场所都可以。

3. The inner hexagram shows a wealth figure of 5, and the changed hexagram shows 2. So you can consider the final price to be at least 8.2 million, and at most within the range of 8.9 million minus 500,000 — that is, between 8.2 and 8.5 million. There is still hope to reach an agreement.

3 互卦得财为5数，变卦出2数，因此可以考虑最终的价格最低为820，最高在890-50万的区间里，也就是820-850之间，还是有希望可以达成一致。

4. It is favorable to have women present, as they can ease the atmosphere. In this situation, women are people who help.

4 在场喜有女性，可以调节气氛，这个缓解里女性为贵人。

5. It is good to settle things quickly. After reaching an agreement on the spot, you need to sign the contract immediately, do not delay until the next day. So it is best to have someone like a clerk on site that day to record, print and complete the signing for both parties.

5 喜速战速决，当场达成一致之后，需要立刻签署合同，不要拖到后一天，因此最好当天有书记员之类的角色可以现场记录和打印，完成双方签署。

Please take note.

Yes, we pushed it to August 15 to wait for the loan to come through. It will ease the pressure a bit. The bank will come to the hotel for another inspection tomorrow.

是的把它延后到8月15，等贷款下来压力小一些，明天银行的去酒店再考察一次。
