Chapter 150 Buying a Shop
"In fact, any business in our city is good. There are both poor and rich people. People here are willing to spend money. West Street has the most rich people, and things there are more expensive. East Street has more poor people, but they are still richer than the poor people in other places. They are just poor compared to the rich people here, so things there are naturally cheaper. So it depends on what you want to do."
Seeing that the team had also started to leave, Tian Yuheng did not bother them and let them go first. "Okay, thank you, big brother."
After entering the city, the eldest brother also had urgent matters to attend to, so he didn't say much to Tian Yuheng and the others, and the two sides went their separate ways.
"This city is unusual. Looking at the shops on both sides of the street, it seems that they sell everything. There are also many people in the morning market." Tian Xing'er was also tired of riding in the carriage, so she got off and walked with her brothers.
"Yes, let's have some breakfast first to fill our stomachs, and then start shopping later."
After breakfast, Tian Xing'er and his siblings began to stroll along the main street of the county town. They visited many places in the morning and gained a general understanding of the situation in the county town.
They were planning to find a dealer in the afternoon. They were planning to open a shop on both the East Street and the West Street. The goods could be shipped directly from Jiangnan first, because they only sold common items and didn't care whether they were fashionable or not.
Wait until Yingzhou can produce it themselves, and then transport it from Yingzhou. It would be best to build a factory here, or find someone to produce it on your behalf. However, it is easy for others to control the cost, and the price will not be favorable.
"Mr. Tian, how about Miss Tian's shop? It's a two-story detached house with a small courtyard in the back, suitable for living. But the price is a bit expensive. I wonder if you are satisfied with it." After lunch, Tian Xing'er and the others came to look at the shops on West Street.
The two of them have looked at many shops, and this one is the one they are most satisfied with at the moment. However, Tian Xing'er doesn't like its location, which is a bit off the beaten path and the orientation is not good.
"Let's take another look. I'm still not quite satisfied with this place. I want a building with a better orientation. Something similar to this one will be fine."
"Then I'll go back and see if there are any places with similar styles, and show you all at once. How about it, Miss, Sir, are you sure you want this type of shop?"
"Yes, this one. If there's something better than this one, that'll be fine too." Tian Xing'er wanted to do more product categories on West Street. After all, the silk made in Jiangnan has good craftsmanship. With Sister Fang's goods and craftsmanship, it shouldn't be difficult to do it here. Having her own factory has advantages.
Not long after, Yazi came to the inn where Tian Xing'er and the others were staying and said, "You guys are lucky today. When I got back just now, I heard that there is a new shop for rent. But they said that if the price is good, they can sell it to you. You two will definitely be satisfied with the shop. The location is also excellent. It is in the center of West Street and has a large shop front at the intersection.
The other boss is either in urgent need of money and unwilling to rent out the property, or they want you to pay one year's rent in one go. But there are discounts for this, and the more years you pay, the more discounts you can get."
Seeing that Yazi recommended it so enthusiastically, the location might be very good, but the price should be very expensive. For a location that good, it can't be cheap.
"Okay, then take us over there to have a look."
"Okay, that location is just across the street from us. Let's go."
When the yazi brought Tian Xing'er and the others to the shop, Tian Xing'er and Tian Yuheng fell in love with it at first sight, looked at each other and nodded. They walked around inside a few more times, and the more they looked at it, the better they thought it was.
"How much is the rent for this shop? If I buy it, how much will it cost?"
"You two have taken a fancy to it. If you pay the rent annually, it's one hundred taels a year. You can see the location. Isn't the area large enough? It's much larger than what we have seen before. They used to run a grain store, so there is a large warehouse, and people also live here.
If you want to buy it, it will cost about 5 taels, payable in full at one time, and you will also be given some things from our store.
How about it, are you interested in buying it?" If the full amount is paid for this order, then the seller won't have to worry about opening orders for the whole month.
"Please let us discuss it." Tian Xing'er was unsure and wanted to discuss it with her second brother.
The price was indeed a bit high, and they had other places to go later, so it was impossible for them to take out so much money at once. However, they did want the shop, so they considered inviting the seller out to have a talk.
Yazi was also happy to help with this. He wanted to make this deal happen more than Tian Xing'er and the others.
When the seller arrived, Tian Xing'er and the others discovered that this shop belonged to Mr. Lei, who had stayed overnight there.
"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Are you two interested in my shop? To be honest, I'm a little short of money now and I'm in urgent need of cash, so I have to rent it out. The location is excellent, and I'm not transferring it because there is no business. If you don't believe me, you can ask the neighbors around here." Master Lei was also surprised to see Tian Xing'er and the others when he arrived.
He didn't expect that it was these two people who took a fancy to his shop. They said yesterday that they were just running a small business, but now it seems that their business is really big. The shop is so big that it is not affordable for ordinary merchants to rent, let alone buy it. He originally thought that it might take some time to rent it out, or he might have to split it up and rent it out, after all, the shop is too big.
The grain store itself makes money, but it also requires a lot of capital turnover. He is now investing in other businesses, which also requires money. The grain store requires even more money. He simply does not have the ability to pay so much money at once.
Tian Yuheng was quite surprised. He had asked someone to look after the farm yesterday, and he had to sell the shop today. Is it so difficult for him now? Then Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu will have nowhere to go. Tian Yuheng wanted to ask Mr. Lei if he had sold the farm as well, and how Uncle Hu and his family would be settled in the future, but now he had to see what the shop said.
"Okay, we will go and ask. By the way, Mr. Lei, we don't have that much cash right now. If we are sure to book this shop, can you allow us to rent it for a year first, and then buy it after a year? We can then deduct this year's rent. How about that? It will be considered a preferential price for us." Tian Xing'er actually wanted to buy it, but now she could only rent it first. She hoped that Mr. Lei would be interested in it and give us a discount.
After all, this young man is quite honest and probably easy to talk to, unlike other people who are cunning.
Master Lei thought for a while and said, "Okay, we are destined to meet each other. I am happy to make friends with you. It is a good place for me to leave my shop to you, and it will not be ruined by others."
"Thank you, Mr. Lei. Let's take another look at the shop. If we are sure, we will sign the contract tomorrow morning." Tian Xing'er was still a little afraid that she would make an impulse purchase. It would be better to take a closer look. She was worried that she would be as stupid as Mr. Lei and get cheated.
In short, no matter how much you like something, you can't buy it immediately. You have to give yourself some buffer, otherwise you will easily be taken advantage of and regret it too late.
"Yeah, okay."
Seeing that his sister had settled the matter with the other party, Tian Yuheng asked the question on his mind, "Master Lei, I have a question about your manor. Can I ask you about it?"
"Mr. Tian, just say whatever you want to say. There's nothing wrong with asking." Mr. Lei was very straightforward and didn't shy away from the topic.
"So you're going to sell your farm? Then how are Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu going to be accommodated in the future?"
"I haven't mortgaged my 2 yet. I have a business here. I heard it's very good. Let's go to the teahouse and I'll talk to you in detail. If you are interested, you can join in." Master Lei was very generous and wanted to share his business with Tian Xing'er and the others.
