10am.. So Ringo (our man in Bali) called Mr Two-wifes.. and after a long speech about how good he had been to us, how happy we were to do business how we hope to do business in the future what a good landlord etc etc.. he delivered the news that we were going.. long pause.. he obviously asked where to? But Ringo tactfully avoided an answer.
OK I said.. now lets hottail it to see the new landlord, we need to get something signed and a deposit paid.
11 am.. We meet the new guy. There is a problem, it seems that after checking he only owns the land for the next two and half years, after that he must renegotiate the land rent from the land boss. OK.. where is the land boss?
11.30 am..Conveniently next door..
The land boss on the left, warehouse boss on the right. After a little friendly negotiating he agreed to extend the land lease.. for a share of the rental money. So we were back in business. Everyone happy.
11.45am.. Phone call from Mr Two-wifes, an offer of 10% discount if we stay, although he would like use of a small room we have not used (saving face).. again asks where we are going.
12 am.. meeting with new warehouse boss.. in the new warehouse.
We write down all the terms we have discussed on a piece of paper. Ringo pulls out the backpack of cash we take everywhere and counts out ten million Indonesian Rupees.
