Space Farming: The Rough Man Orion Dotes on His Wife Excessively

Gu Rao slept until midnight. When she woke up, she was alone on the bed and the house was silent.

After going downstairs, I found that Bieye was not at home.

Where did you go?

When she just woke up, her thoughts were not very clear. It wasn't until she washed her face that her mind became clear. She remembered that she and Zhang Yong would go to West Street to check out the shops this afternoon.

Could it be that he went alone?

-

Gu Rao was looking for them while walking on West Street. Not long after walking, he met Bieye and Zhang Yong on the road.

Bieye asked, "Why did you wake up so early?"

Gu Rao glared at him.

"Is it still early?"

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Do you want to see what time it is? It will be dark if you sleep a little longer!"

"Do I have to sleep until night and wake up early?"

Bieye could hear her anger.

"Calm down."

Gu Rao snorted.

"I've always been calm. I was a little angry before. Why didn't you call me and come to see the shop alone? How did it go?"

Bieye said, "I have only been here not long ago and I visited two stores. The shops here are indeed better than those we saw on the other three streets."

After a pause, he said, "Those two shops meet your requirements. They are spacious and in good locations, but the price is a bit beyond our expectations."

Gu Rao was a little curious.

"how much is it?"

Zhang Yong said, "This shop used to be a rouge and gouache business. It only has the first floor. You can buy it directly for two hundred taels of silver."

"The other shop is the third shop diagonally across from Qiushui Academy. It used to be a restaurant, with three floors and a wide area."

"Those who can enter Qiushui Academy either have rich or expensive families, or they have a little savings at home and are willing to spend money. Therefore, the closer the shops to Qiushui Academy, the better the business."

Gu Rao was a little moved when he heard this.

"Since the location is so good, why does the owner want to sell such a good restaurant?"

Zhang Yong smiled sarcastically.

"The owner of that restaurant is named Chen. He is a wealthy businessman in the county. This restaurant in Yezhu Town has always been looked after by his son."

"His son became addicted to gambling and almost lost all his wealth. He also owed a huge debt to the gambling house. The people in the gambling house threatened to cut off his hands if he didn't pay back the money next month. No, no, in order to pay back the money, he wants to sell such a good restaurant without telling his father."

“Many people are now eager and waiting for the auction in three days.”

Gu Rao was a little worried.

"What if his father finds out and doesn't agree to sell the restaurant and makes trouble with the person who bought the restaurant? Wouldn't it be unclear?"

Zhang Yong shook his head.

"Boss Chen gave this restaurant to his son. The land deed is in his son's hands. If you take the photo on the same day, you can get the land deed on the same day. Then take the land deed to the county government to change the name on the land deed. Who owns the land deed? That land belongs to whoever goes on it.”

Gu Rao was even more excited.

"Take me to see this restaurant."

Zhang Yong was extremely surprised.

"Do you want to bid?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"The location is so good. If we can take pictures, will we still have to worry about the source of customers in the future? I have already seen the purchasing power of Zhongqiushui Academy!"

Although there is an obvious gap between the rich and the poor among the few scholars Xiang Shuangping brought before, even the most simple and frugal scholar would come to their store every now and then to buy things, not to mention the richer Mu family elders. Young Master, he buys a lot every time and spends money very lavishly!

Only good things will make people fight for them, right?

"Besides, that's the third floor. There are three floors. Do you still worry about too many customers and not being able to sit in the store? Our courtyard is too small now. Every day, many customers complain that there is no place to sit."

Zhang Yong, "..."

How dare you think!

"The starting price is three hundred taels of silver. When the time comes, there will definitely be many rich people rushing to bid. Boss Gu, do you really think you can win?"

Gu Rao was calm and relaxed.

"The most important thing in everything is participation. If you don't even dare to participate, you are likely to regret it in the future. But if you participate, if you fail, you will not regret it as long as you work hard."

"I haven't had close contact with rich people, and I don't have much experience. After three days, it won't be a bad idea to go see the rich people spending money like water."

These words caused Bieye to look at her.

Wasn't she the daughter of an official family before?

Even if the family is in decline, a person who has kept so many valuable jewelry does not look like he has little money at home.

Doesn’t this mean you haven’t had close contact with rich people?

She was once rich herself.

Bieye doesn't know if all officials are rich, but he always feels that if he is an upright and honest official, no matter how rich he is, he will not be able to give so many expensive gifts to his family just by relying on his salary.

He once wondered whether his wife's father's house was confiscated because of corruption and bribery, which seemed to make sense.

But he didn't want to think of his wife's family so badly.

It is also possible that someone in the wife's family is not only an official, but also someone in business.

Either way, he didn't care.

What is past is past.

He only cares about his present and future with her.

Zhang Yong saw that what Gu Rao said was clear and logical, and felt that there was a little bit of truth in it, so he said, "Okay then, I will go with you in three days."

Gu Rao said, "Aren't you busy in three days?"

Zhang Yong put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly.

"I also want to see how rich people spend their money."

Gu Rao smiled and said, "Then you can come with us."

Zhang Yong asked again, "Do you want to go to other shops?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"Look, if the trip with you in three days is in vain, there are other options. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do this afternoon, so let's just watch the one on West Street."

"Thanks a lot."

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

"I also want to make money. If you buy a shop, I can get an agency fee from it. As long as you are sure you want to buy it, don't ask me to take you around for a day. What about two or three more days?"

What's more, I just had a meal with them.

"When you finish the business, I'll treat you to a meal. If you have any business in the future, you must give me priority."

"I promise to give you the best service and introduce you to the best stores!"

Gu Rao promised, "We are so familiar with each other, and I will definitely come to you whenever I have anything to buy or rent."

"You also have to help us negotiate the price with the selling price, and try to give us the best and cheapest price."

Zhang Yong patted his chest and assured.

"Don't worry, I promise to negotiate the price with you!"

-

Next, Gu Rao and Bieye went to see a few more shops. In fact, they were all better than what they had seen before. They were spacious, clean, and well-decorated. They could open the business directly after buying them, without having to re-decorate them themselves. Saves a lot of time.

In addition to those that can be bought directly with money, there are also those that require bidding just like that restaurant.

Gu Rao took notes in a small notebook.

"If that restaurant fails to be auctioned, we will go and photograph other shops. These shops that are up for auction are all in better locations."

Those that can be bought directly with money, although they are also very wide, but the locations are not as good as those that require bidding. Some are in the middle of the street, and some are on the road at the end of the street.

The ones in front of the street entrance have the best locations. The further back you go, the fewer customers there are. This is because many customers go shopping and leave in the front for a while, without even bothering to finish shopping.
