Chapter 1264 Do you want to be a shopkeeper?

The guy who asked about the price obviously didn't have the ability to redeem the store.The shopkeeper has been running the store for so many years, and he has very sharp eyes, and he can still read people very accurately.He can tell at a glance who has this strength and who is just a talker.

The person who asked about the price almost had the words "the middleman makes the difference" written on his face. The shopkeeper was in a bad mood, so naturally he didn't have a good attitude towards him.

The man was not annoyed and said with a playful smile: "Shopkeeper, you don't care whether I'm a pimp or not. The key is how much money you want to exchange. All sales are negotiated. Even if I'm a pimp, I can get you a price you're satisfied with. Only if the price is reached, the store is still yours, and I can’t rob you, right? After all, it’s just the price? Who is selling it? Don’t underestimate us middlemen, we might be able to negotiate a comparison What about the higher price you expected?"

The shopkeeper was originally angry, but after hearing this man's explanation, he felt that it made some sense.What I want is the final price, so what does it matter if I am a middleman?As long as it reaches your psychological price, wouldn't it be nice to sell this store and use the money to support your retirement?
The man looked at his words and knew that the shopkeeper was a little moved, so he laughed and said: "Shopkeeper, if it's inconvenient, let's take a step to talk."

The shopkeeper was shrewd and refused to discuss the price with this man in private.Obviously he feels that if his psychological price is discussed openly, everyone can bid.If you talk in private, you are more likely to be lowered by the other party or even deceived by the other party.He knows very well how capable these middlemen are of deceiving others.

"There's no need to take a step to talk. I'm old, and I've been thinking about cashing in my store for the past two years. It just so happens that I've been annoyed by these yamen during this time. I'm an old man and I'm not good at dealing with these. When dealing with an official, if you find someone who can do the job, you might be able to run this tavern better. If you want to be a middleman and earn some intermediary fees, I have no objection. The storefront of this tavern is mine, and all the equipment in it is mine. They are all my own. Whoever bids [-] silver coins, I will pay. Of course, the wine in my tavern has an exclusive secret brewing recipe. If you want the secret recipe, the price of the secret recipe will have to be calculated separately. The secret recipe is priced at one price, and the other is the secret recipe. Add [-]. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want the secret recipe, just take the [-] silver coins. I, an old man, will leave empty-handed.”

Eighty thousand silver coins, if you want to say it is a lot, it is not much, but if you want to say it is a small amount, it is definitely a lot.

Of course, everyone owns their own store. Just such a large store in this location is worth forty or fifty thousand silver coins.In addition, this pub has been a long-established brand for many years, and the sign is worth twenty thousand.In addition, including equipment, tools and other belongings, the total price of [-] yuan is actually not a false price.

But as a middleman, naturally he would not agree so readily.

He smiled and said: "Old shopkeeper, this price is a bit insincere, isn't it? You are making a sudden change, you can't just pay the market price directly. Moreover, your price is not only the market price, but there is actually some premium. The current environment is so It’s complicated, and [-] silver coins is a bit too much.”

When it comes to his own interests, the old shopkeeper refuses to give in: "If the environment hadn't been complicated, you wouldn't have thought of me taking action, let alone [-] or [-]. My store is an old sign, and everyone can see how the business is doing. At which point is there no one in the store? During busy periods, it is always full and the tables are constantly changing."

The middleman chuckled and said: "Business is good, but it can't support the industriousness of the major yamen. Most people really can't handle it."

"Business depends on everyone. Anyone who dares to take over must be able to handle these things. Just because the old man like me can't handle it doesn't mean that the new boss can't handle it. If there are official connections and can handle these miscellaneous things, my store If you cash it in, you can make money by lying down. I’m not exaggerating at all.”

"Haha, it has to be your secret recipe, it has to be your wine. If I don't buy your secret recipe, I'll have to buy additional drinks. It's hard to say whether this customer base will always be prosperous."

"Isn't it easy to ask for a secret recipe? Add another fifty thousand. This price is already a breaking price. If I hadn't wanted to retire, I wouldn't have paid one hundred thousand for my secret recipe. If our wine hadn't been something exclusive, Can we have so many repeat customers?”

The wine is good, and most of the customers in the store come here for the wine.No one can deny this.

One of the waiters said: "Someone offered us [-] yuan to buy our shopkeeper's secret recipe, but my shopkeeper really didn't sell it."

The middleman just laughed, but obviously still didn't approve of the price.

When Jiang Yue sat at the table, Ah Piao sighed: "The business of this store is really good. I once estimated that the shopkeeper would definitely be able to earn thirty to fifty thousand a year. This is still a conservative estimate. If my Ah Piao had This money must be redeemed. It will be repaid in two years. The rest is just to make money. It's a pity, a pity."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "You go and talk."

"Me? I'll take the lead in the negotiation? People see me as a poor loser and won't pay attention to me at all."

"I asked you to talk, can I still joke with you?" Jiang Yue said lightly.

Ah Piao looked at Jiang Yue in surprise: "You...you don't mean to say that you want to cash in on this store, right?"

"What? I can't exchange it? What's the point?" Jiang Yue asked displeasedly.

"It's not that there's anything special about it, it's just...do you really have that much money? Eighty thousand plus fifty thousand, that's 13. And there are also labor expenses. If you don't have 20, you may not be able to turn over the store if you take over it. of."

Although Ah Piao has never opened a tavern, he still knows the rules and regulations that exist here.

Making money is indeed making money, it can even be said to be huge profits.But the cost here is really not low.It's not that he looks down on Mushroom Man, but this deal is indeed too big.

"Don't look at me. I definitely don't have that much money. But my employer does. Not to mention 20, even 200 million is nothing."

Ah Piao was doubtful: "Are you serious?"

"Let's go and talk. If we can negotiate, I might let you be the shopkeeper when I'm in a good mood."

Ah Piao's eyes suddenly became extremely hot.As a shopkeeper?He has been a waiter all his life.

The shopkeeper was so far away from him that he never even dreamed that he could become the shopkeeper.In his opinion, the shopkeeper was a superior being, a being that he had never dreamed of approaching.

Could this mushroom man be joking?Can this huge pie really hit me on the head?Ah Piao swallowed hard and stared at Jiang Yue intently, obviously observing whether the other party was teasing him.

"What do you think I'm going to do? As long as you have this ability, it doesn't matter if I hire you as a shopkeeper? But if you can't hold up the wall, then don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

Ah Piao finally heard it. Is this person serious?He really wants to redeem the store?Moreover, do you really want to promote him, Ah Piao, to be the shopkeeper?
"Brother, this is a big deal. Can you be the boss of your employer?"

"Haha, since I dare to say it, I can do it naturally. I'm afraid that you don't have the ability to be the shopkeeper. If you mess up my business, it won't be good."

"That's not possible. Have we never eaten pork or seen pigs running away? To be a shopkeeper, doesn't it mean that you have to be discerning? Do you have to be good at dealing with people? Do you speak human words when you see people and tell lies when you see ghosts? We all know these things. ." Ah Piao boasted.

Jiang Yue chuckled: "You go ahead and negotiate. This price is not unrealistic. Someone will definitely bid later. I suggest it be first come, first served."

Ah Piao's emotions were completely ignited, thinking that he might jump to the dragon's door and become the shopkeeper.Although he does not own the store, the feeling of standing in front of the counter is definitely enough for him to honor his ancestors.

That belongs to the shopkeeper.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt very motivated. "Okay, I'll go talk. But what if someone looks down on us... and ignores me?"

"Easy to handle, deposit. Nothing is more convincing than a deposit."

With that said, Jiang Yue waved to Ah Piao, whispered a few words in his ear, and gave him instructions.Ah Piao nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

After a while, Ah Piao got three thousand silver coins from Jiang Yue.As a deposit, these three thousand silver coins are obviously sincere enough.

There were many people surrounding the shopkeeper at this moment.Ah Piao leaned over and didn't look out of place.However, Ah Piao did not go to the shopkeeper directly. Instead, he found a clerk, gave him ten silver coins to spend, and muttered a few words to the clerk.

The guy got his consumption and went away happily.

He came to the shopkeeper and said a few more words in the shopkeeper's ear.The shopkeeper was slightly startled, and then showed a little surprise.

"Everyone, excuse me." The shopkeeper said and walked towards the back hall.Ah Piao had been waiting there for a long time.

"Are you trying to cash in on my tavern?" The shopkeeper obviously looked familiar to Ah Piao and knew his general background. He didn't seem like someone with such strength.

Ah Piao knew what the shopkeeper was thinking and put three thousand silver coins on the table: "I am also running errands for others. This is a deposit of three thousand. I sincerely want to talk to the shopkeeper. Please clear the place first and let's talk face to face. . They said that as long as the shopkeeper is happy, we will settle the matter today, hand over the money with one hand and hand over the store with the other, and we will never play tricks."

Is it so fun?
The shopkeeper really couldn't trust Ah Piao, but he could trust him with three thousand silver coins.As Jiang Yue said, nothing is more convincing than a deposit.

No matter how nice your words are, they are not as impactful as real money.

"No tricks?"

"Look at what you said, are these three thousand silver coins fake?"

The shopkeeper has been dealing with money for half his life, so he certainly knows that the silver coins are genuine.He nodded immediately: "Okay, be happy, I'll clear the place right now."

With that said, the shopkeeper walked to the front hall and announced that it was not early today and the store was going to close. Thank you to all new and old customers for taking care of you. All drinks will be settled at a [-]% discount today.

The middleman was anxious: "Shopkeeper, isn't this a good talk about business? Why is there a discount?"

The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "What day can't we do business? I'm afraid if we don't close today, there will be another round of inspections, which I can't bear."

The store is about to close, so customers can’t hang around.

The middleman had no choice but to curse and pay and leave.

In the end, only Jiang Yue and A Piao were left.The shopkeeper looked left and right.Why do I feel like neither of these two people are capable of negotiating such a big deal?

"Are you two trying to redeem my tavern?" The shopkeeper couldn't help but wrap the three thousand silver coins tightly.He couldn't help but doubt it.One of them looked like a loser, the other looked like a mushroom, neither of them looked like those doing business.

Jiang Yue smiled and said: "The shopkeeper doesn't have to judge a book by its appearance. After all, the middleman is right. You will only sell when the price is in place. As long as you have money, you don't care who he gives it to?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "You're right, you're right. I want to exchange money at the store, and I'm not looking for a son-in-law. Naturally, I will exchange it for whoever has the money. So, do you have the money?"

"Money, shopkeeper, don't worry. We won't use [-] deposits to make such a joke with the shopkeeper." Jiang Yue said calmly.

"That's true. I'm telling you. If the money is not received, the three thousand deposit will not be refunded."

"Of course. However, I intend to buy the shopkeeper's secret recipe. However, I would like to ask the shopkeeper to be a little more accommodating regarding the price. Although your price is quite reasonable, in the final analysis, your store is indeed difficult to Management. The environment is complicated, and the shopkeeper also wants to be safe, right? Besides, if you sell the secret recipe to me and go to other places, you can definitely sell it a few more times, right?"

The shopkeeper was stunned: "You don't restrict me from selling another one?"

In his opinion, shouldn't this be an exclusive sale? If it is sold once, it cannot be sold again?

"Haha, the inner earth world is so big. As long as we don't compete in this city and sell dozens of products, it won't affect our business here." Jiang Yue is open-minded.

The shopkeeper thought for a while: "How many dishes will you allow me to sell?"

"I suggest that the shopkeeper sell as many recipes as he can, as long as he doesn't sell them in the same place. Of course, I'm not pretending to be generous, because I can't spend too much money to buy the secret recipe. I just want the right to use it. , do not want exclusive use rights.”

"Then how much can you say?"

"Ten thousand gold coins buy the right to use the secret recipe, which is exchanged for the store's fixed price of [-]. I won't bargain. I think this price is fair. As for the secret recipe, if the shopkeeper is willing to travel around the inner world and sell it for hundreds of thousands of silver coins, I think it’s very promising. The old shopkeeper actually doesn’t want to be burdened by opening a tavern anymore. Traveling around the inner world selling secret recipes is definitely a good choice, and it may be more profitable than opening a tavern.”

"Aren't you afraid that if I sell too much, it will affect the business here?"

"As long as it's not a city, the impact of competition is actually minimal."

The old shopkeeper thought about it for a while, and obviously found this cooperation method very novel, but particularly attractive.If you really want to follow this method, selling the secret recipe is really a big profit point.There is much more money than the exchange shop.

The more he thought about it, the more tempting the mushroom man's proposal became.

The old shopkeeper was obviously very happy and slapped his thigh: "Okay, this idea you came up with is indeed not a bad idea. I never thought of it before. It is simply a genius. You are open-minded, and I have to be honest. In this way, your three thousand deposit, Just pay for the right to use the secret recipe. I don’t charge you [-], but only [-]. You only need to give me [-] for the store fee, and the store will be yours!"
