I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

Because Fritz's order was too large, Youxia didn't prepare the goods until the third day. During the process, because he didn't have enough liquidity to buy goods in the mall, he boldly asked the Elf King to borrow [-] gold coins.

It has to be said that the Elven King is really rich, and Youxia only learned later that the land that the elders of the Elf went to the City Lord's Mansion to negotiate was worth nearly ten thousand gold coins, which was almost the middle of the city of Ross to Pustead Town. The piece of land was completely circled, and even the several manors around the city of Ross, the elders of the elves also communicated with people, and bought all they could buy.

During the past three days, the gold coins spent from the Elf King's hand sounded like running water, but the other party didn't care at all, and they didn't even blink their eyes when they gave the money, which made Youxia have to send out Augst's words in his heart. Voice: Wood elves are really rich!

After the scope of the new family land was determined, all the Elf Elders left the city of Ross except for the Leyou Gate. The two priests, Jean and Senia Leimen, were responsible for rotating the patron saint tree and the holy pool. The Elf King and the Great Elder They need to rush back to the Yingdeng Forest. First, they need to inform the whole clan of the news of finding the new sacred tree as soon as possible. Second, they have to discuss with the elders and priests about the planning and development of the new clan land, as well as the construction of the new clan land. Elf candidates also need to be carefully determined.

You Xia reckoned that when Yingdeng Forest came next time, there would really be a lot of beauties.

Having said that, after signing the contract with Fritz and clearing the money and goods, Youxia's funds suddenly became more abundant. Excluding the 430 gold coins to be returned to the Elf King, he still has [-] gold coins in his hand, reaching reached a record high.

It’s just that his newly acquired gold coins hadn’t been warmed up yet. In the afternoon, Diss came to the door again, saying that he finally waited until there was a shop for rent on Schlevoge Street, and it was a very good shop, so he had to go and see it. .

Because last time Youxia wanted to rent a house to open a hot pot restaurant in the city center but failed, after that he asked Diss to help him keep an eye on the empty shop in Schlevog for rent, so that he could prepare for the next shop, but he didn't expect this vacant room to come. So fast.

So far, it hasn't been long since the new store opened, and the hot pot restaurant has just started on the right track. He hasn't even unlocked all the soup bases yet. If he is ready to start the clothing store now, he will definitely not be able to take care of it.

However, it was hard to wait until there was a shop for rent on Schlevoger Street. If you missed it in vain, you don’t know when you will have to wait for the next time there is a shop for rent.

Youxia hesitated for a few minutes, and finally decided to go with Diss to have a look. If he was satisfied with the location and structure of the store, he would rent it first. After the hot pot restaurant stabilized, he would directly prepare for the opening of the clothing store. It is also very convenient.

·

Once you enter the center of the bustling Schlevogel Street, you can't help but feel that the surrounding atmosphere has become much colder, without the warmth and intimacy of other urban areas, and the pedestrians and horses on the street are coming and going in a hurry, even if The smiles on the faces of the wives and ladies who are wandering around don't reach the bottom of their eyes.

You Xia thought that when he visited the square before, he didn't feel that the atmosphere in the city center was so indifferent, probably because he stayed in the noisy and enthusiastic atmosphere of a hot pot restaurant not long ago, and came here suddenly to give him such a feeling.

The two walked around the large fountain in the City Hall Square, waited for several carriages to pass, and then walked eastward along the sidewalk paved with stone slabs.

Youxia heard Diss say that the store is in the city center, so he took it for granted that it should be near the square. However, Diss didn’t stop after walking along the street for a long time, and even the fountain in the center of the square could not be seen. , he couldn't help but ask, "Where is that shop probably located?"

"On the street of Schlevoge, the building at No. [-]," Diss said as he walked, "is the double-headed eagle sculpture gallery. The owner is the very famous sculptor Herbert. You may have heard of it?"

As soon as he mentioned the Double-Headed Eagle Sculpture Hall, You Xia immediately had an impression.

When shooting lipstick posters for Les before, they went to the sculpture gallery specifically to find a suitable venue, but unfortunately the owner was not at home at the time and was declined by the manager. The restaurants are closed.

"Do you know why he didn't open it?"

"It is said that Mr. Herbert was planning to open a sculpture gallery in Bayswater, so he transferred all the works here," Dees explained.

"But it's the same thing when you think about it. We people in Los Angeles like to go shopping and go to the market, but we don't like to visit sculpture museums and art galleries. Even the art galleries in the square are rarely visited. On the contrary, those in the capital city The noble lord usually likes to discuss these profound things when he is free, no wonder Mr. Herbert wants to move his shop there."

His speculation is very reasonable, You Xia nodded clearly.

"I think that house is really good. It has a large space and is beautiful. There is a big ginkgo tree at the door. Next to it is a high-end residence in the Wickenburg district. , the flow of people will not be less, you must like it..."

Diss chattered about his reasons for recommendation, and Youxia listened carefully.

"Just one thing," he suddenly changed his subject, and said cautiously, "I heard from the manager that their boss will not come back after going to Bayswater, so the shop is rented for five years. As far as you are concerned, there should be no problem, right?"

You Xia asked directly: "What about the rent, how is the annual rent calculated?"

"Twenty gold coins for a year." Diss replied.

It's so expensive - You Xia couldn't help sighing in his heart, starting to rent for five years, it costs one hundred gold coins each time!

"It's really expensive. I don't even dare to think about such a high price, but it's understandable according to the conditions of that shop..." Diss also muttered.

The two chatted all the way to the street, and when they arrived under the big ginkgo tree with thick green leaves, the sculpture gallery that You Xia thought was quite unique before appeared in front of him.

Different from the grand and magnificent style of most buildings on Schlevog Street, the appearance of this street sculpture museum is somewhat similar to Moroccan style.

The main body of the building is a centralized plane, with arched corridors in front of the door, and pointed arches on the roof. The walls are very bright, a splicing of bright yellow and grass green, and it looks like a temple in terms of structure.

Diss went into the corridor and knocked on the door. After a while, a familiar middle-aged steward came out from the beautiful carved wooden door.

The steward still remembered that Youxia came to ask about renting the venue. He nodded to Diss first, and then greeted Youxia with a smile: "Meet you again, Your Excellency Elf, are you here to visit the shop?"

"Yes, is your master there?"

"The master will come over at about four o'clock in the afternoon," said the steward, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and arranged, "It's almost three o'clock now, if you don't mind, you can sit and wait in the pavilion in the back garden In a moment, or I can show you the house first."

Hearing that there is a garden behind the sculpture hall, You Xia was slightly surprised, and then immediately responded: "Then please show me the house first."

"No problem." The steward agreed and opened the door to them.

As soon as you enter the sculpture hall, the first thing you see is a spacious hall. The floor is paved with dark yellow marble. It should make people feel cold and stiff, but because the walls and ceiling are covered with colorful geometric patterns The pattern makes the indoor atmosphere warm and lively.

You Xia and the two of them followed the steward through the hall and entered the spacious exhibition hall. The exhibition hall was empty, and the original sculptures had been emptied, leaving only traces of heavy objects removed on the ground.

While showing them around the halls, the steward introduced to them the original purpose of each room. It only took about 15 minutes for Youxia to turn around the large four-story building.

After that, the steward led them out through the arch at the back, and came to a small courtyard full of white roses.

The courtyard is pretty neat and tidy. Apart from the neatly manicured flower beds, the most conspicuous thing is the double-headed eagle fountain in the center. The mighty statue of a double-headed eagle stands in the center of the fountain, with its wings spread high, as if it is ready to fly at any time. to the sky.

The entire courtyard is surrounded by lush hedge trees. Through the hedge trees on the right, one can vaguely see the whitened street outside and the courtyard lawn of a mansion across the street.

Youxia and Diss took a look around the courtyard, and then sat down in the small pavilion surrounded by white roses on the west side of the courtyard.

The steward apologized and said that because all the things in the house had been removed, there was nothing to entertain them. After a while, he asked nervously: "What do you think of this house? The decoration and atmosphere are not bad, right?"

In fact, You Xia visited the store to see the size and structure of a house, and he didn't have any requirements for decoration. He felt that the structure of this building was really good, so he said bluntly: "It's pretty good, it meets my requirements."

The steward smiled contentedly, as if his child had been praised.

Herbit came later than expected, and Youxia sat in the courtyard for a full hour. Seeing that it was 10 minutes past four o'clock, the master hadn't come yet. From time to time, I would take out my pocket watch to check the time, or find some excuse to check at the main entrance.

After the steward walked out of the garden on the third excuse to open a window for the hall to let in some air, the other party finally brought Mr. Herbert, the owner of the shop, over after a short wait.

"I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting," Mr. Herbert apologized as soon as he arrived.

He is an elderly middle-aged man, dressed casually, his eyes are full of wrinkles, thick eyebrows make his face a bit fierce, but the light-colored shawl and curly hair give him a soft artist atmosphere, It made him look a bit contradictory.

After apologizing, Hebbit skillfully waved his clothes and sat down on the wicker chair on the other side, asking, "Has Wanda shown you the house yet?"

Wanda is the steward's name.

Yuxia nodded and said "yes".

Herbert asked a series of questions again: "What do you think, have you decided to rent this shop, or do you still need to think about it for a while? Although it is impolite to say this, but if you need to think about it for more than two days, I may We have to rent the house to someone else."

His tone was a little irritable, but he couldn't tell from his appearance that he was eager to do something. Yue Mo himself spoke in such an irritable tone.

"There is no need to think about it, I think this house is very suitable for me." Youxia replied patiently, "Have you brought the contract? If so, we can sign it now. I heard that the minimum rent is five years. ?"

"That's right, I probably won't come back after I went to Bayswater. I originally wanted to sell the store, but the bid was too high, and I couldn't find anyone to buy it for a while."

Herbert said in a low voice, and took out a roll of parchment contract that he had prepared earlier from his pocket, "When I went out at noon, I received a message that there might be an elf coming to see the house in the afternoon. I had a hunch at that time that today should I can rent out the house, so I brought out the contract, and sure enough, my premonition was correct."

You Xia smiled slightly, took the contract and browsed through it. Before signing his name, he asked casually: "If you want to transfer this house, what price do you plan to sell it for?"

Without hesitation, Herbit said, "With such a large area and a garden, it will cost at least a thousand gold coins!"

You Xia: "..."

Excuse me, he still rents a house!
