Little wealth

Anyang Town is only about the size of a palm. A cross street from the town gate is divided into four streets in the southeast, northwest, and there are some small alleys inside. There are also some small shops in the alleys. place.

On this day, they went to Guanya to look at the house. Guanya is a person who is listed in the government office. He has the news of renting out houses and shops in the whole town, and he is responsible for taking people to see houses and selling houses.

Compared with looking for private girls, official girls must be safer and more reliable, so the official girls they found this day led them to see the house.

Guan Ya, who led the way, opened the door of a shop with the key in his hand. Once the door was opened, he could see that the place inside was quite large. The man said, "This shop is the biggest, and there is a yard behind it. Shops can be opened in the front, and people can live in the back.”

"Well, the place here is quite big." Josh went in and looked inside, and it was indeed as the boy who showed them the shop said, the front door was quite big, and there was a yard behind it. There is also a courtyard in the middle. If they rent this place, people can live and store things in the back.

They looked at so many shops in a row, and so far this one was the one he was most satisfied with. The only drawback was that the location of this shop was not on the main street, but in an alley inside.There are more pedestrians on the main street, and naturally fewer people go in the alley.

But at this time, there is no such a large shop for rent on the main street, even if there is, they have to consider the issue of shop rent.

But if they are renting it as a facade, and are only responsible for receiving guests, it is actually enough to have such a place to discuss business.And the backyard is quite big, the promenade on one side can be used to store things, the backyard can be used for work, and the houses inside can also be used for people.

The first time he walked in here, Josh already had some thoughts about this place in his heart, but he still turned his head to discuss with the man behind him, "What do you think of this place?"

Just now Zhao He also went in and took a look around, and said truthfully, "It's better than the ones we looked at earlier."

"Well, I think so too. Let's consider renting this place. If we rent this place, then the front can be used to pick up customers and place things for you. The backyard should be enough for work and people to live in." Josh stood at the door of the shop and looked out, because this place was not on the main street, and there were not many people going shopping inside.

But it is quite close to the main street, and you can see the pedestrians on the main street when you stand at the door, so you don't have to worry that no one will find it here.

Pointing his finger in the direction of the intersection ahead, Josh said, "We can hang a sign in front at that time to show people the way to come in. The business of our store is different from other people's. We don't need so many people to come in every day. Yes, if we can get a few deals a month, it should be enough for our shop rent. As long as our business is opened in the future, some people will take the initiative to go here."

Zhao He nodded, feeling that what Fu Lang said made sense.

Zhao Hu and Chen Yan were also visiting the shop today, and their mother was waiting for them with their grandson.Josh looked back at the two who had walked so many places with them, and asked, "What do you two think of this place?"

Chen Yan didn't speak, but looked at Zhao Hu, waiting for him to speak.

"Ah...all, they're all pretty good. What do you guys think, Brother and Brother? Shall we rent this place?" Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment before he realized that any shop was similar, and it was here. The place is bigger.

But there are no people walking at the door here, will they lose business if they open the store here?He was a little worried.

"Let's take a look again. It's not necessarily necessary to rent this place. Maybe there will be a better place later." Josh didn't immediately say that he would rent this place, because he didn't want the babes to know that they wanted to rent this place and deliberately increase the price. They haven't even asked about the rent yet, so they will have to ask about it later.

But he cared more about other things than rent.

Josh turned around and asked the guy who showed them the house, and asked the guy, "I don't know what kind of business this place used to be?"

"Don't worry about this little man, this place used to be a cloth shop, and it has been here for several years. Later, the owner of the cloth shop went to Lu Cheng's son, and closed the cloth shop here. It was just a while ago, and the shop here was vacant." Seeing that the other party wanted to rent the place, Yaren told them about the previous cloth owner of the shop.

"It's not like I said, you can't find a better shop than here in the whole of Anyang Town. The things here are not very long. The front door here can be cleaned up to open a shop, and the backyard can be opened after cleaning up. There is no waste for people to live in. There is also a well in this courtyard, you can use the well water here in the future, and you don’t need to find someone who buys water to fetch water.”

"Although this place is not on the street, it is not far from the street. Once you go out, you will be on the street. If you want to open a shop here, no matter what business you do, the business will definitely be very good in the future. Before you, there were three Five people came to see it, and two or three said to go back and discuss with the family before coming back. If you are really interested in renting this place, I advise you to hurry up, or you won’t be like this when someone else rents it out. Good shop."

Josh felt that this idiot's words were very watery. If this shop is really so good, why did the previous owners run away?It's not just because the location here is not very good, there are no people here, and the business is deserted, so naturally it can't go on.

And there must be a reason why so many people came here and didn't rent the shop, so he didn't make a final decision about renting this place.

"Let's go inside and take a closer look." Now that they have decided to rent this place, they should take a closer look, so as not to find out what's wrong after renting it, and then it will be troublesome if they want to cancel the lease .

"Okay, I'll take you to see it again." Yaren led the people in, talking about how wonderful this place is.

Josh just watched him, listening in with his left ear and out with his right ear, completely unaffected.

The shop in front looks quite new, but the house in the backyard looks a bit dilapidated, the doors and windows are basically rotten, and there are holes in the roof, these are trivial things, as long as they are repaired Can live.

He was worried about other things in his heart. He was afraid that there had been some accidents in this place before, people died or something else. After all, they rented a house for business, and what they disliked the most was renting a house like that.But this can only be found out by asking people nearby. It is estimated that there is nothing to be asked from the Yaren, and even if the other party knows, they will definitely not tell them.

There is a well in the yard. He probed into the well and saw that there were dead grass and sundries floating on the surface of the water, and it was impossible to tell whether the water underneath was clear or unclear. But if they rent this place by then, the well here will definitely be Clean up again.

They have traveled so many places just now, either the location is not good, or the facade is too small.Their Anyang Town is such a big place, good shops must be rented out, and their business is doing well, and they will definitely not stop doing it.

Josh also understood in his heart that it was not so easy for them to rent a good shop, if they could find one that was similar to what they thought in their hearts, that would be fine.He bowed his head and discussed in a low voice with the man beside him, and then he asked the boy in front, "If you give me a more honest price, how much will it cost to rent here for a month?"

"I'm not asking you guys for random prices. The prices here are uniformly regulated. This shop costs five taels of silver per month, and one year's rent is required for one hand, which is 60 taels of silver." Yaren reported a number.

60 taels of silver is a lot of money for many ordinary people.

But for them, 60 taels of silver can still be obtained, but Josh is not willing to give a one-year rent all at once. Can't return.

They saw a shop earlier, which was much smaller than this one, and it cost six taels of silver a month. The place here is so big, it only costs five taels a month.However, the location of the shop in front is slightly better than here, and it's on the street, so it's good for a barbecue shop.

Josh thought for a while, then brought up the shop we saw before, and said, "Well, I won't tell you so much, we will rent the shop we saw just now. But the shop in front You will also give us five taels of silver a month for that one shop, and half a year’s rent for the two shops together, what do you think? Is it okay? You give us a promise.”

"This..." There was some hesitation on Yaren's face. This time, he lost one tael of silver in a month, and it would be more than a dozen taels of silver in a year.Moreover, they have always collected at least one year's rent, but now the two together only pay half a year, which is equivalent to only three months' rent.

This is afraid that if he agrees here, the owner of the house will not agree. After all, their house still belongs to the owner of the house, and they are just helping to run errands to get some hard work.

Yaren looked embarrassed, and said: "The shop in front of me is too short of a tael of silver, I'm afraid it won't work. These two shops together, no matter what, they have to give a year's rent."

"The shop in front is too small, and we can't do much business if we rent it. We may not be able to earn back the rent for six taels a month, and we will work for you for nothing by then. The money is not enough to pay the rent for you." Josh was also very firm about this, and said: "If you can give it, we will rent two shops, if not, we can discuss this matter again. "

Anyway, there is more than one idiot in Anyang Town, at worst, they will just ask other people, maybe they can find a place with better conditions than here.

If a shop is five taels a month, two taels is ten taels, and they will have to pay more than 100 taels a year just to pay the rent, which does not include the expenses and costs of hiring people, so if If they wanted to make money, they had to earn at least more than this amount in that year, otherwise they would have worked hard for a year and would be working for the landlord for nothing.And if the business is not good, they may not even be able to pay the rent.

After walking for such a long time, his legs were a little tired, and his son was left at home by them, and he didn't know if the child would cry when he didn't see them, and whether their mother could coax him.

Since he thinks this shop and the one in front are good, Josh doesn’t plan to continue shopping any longer. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, these shops have some shortcomings to some extent, but it’s not that there are no good places at all. It is suitable for them to do business.

As soon as Yaren gritted his teeth, he let go and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go and ask for you, the one I just saw earlier, is it the one at the corner of the street?"

"Well, yes, the shops on both sides are paid five taels a month, and we pay half a year's rent on the other side." Josh said.

"Okay, you guys wait here, I'll ask and I'll be back." Yaren left such a sentence and ran out.

Taking advantage of the Yaren walking away, Josh asked their uncle to go outside to inquire about the news about this shop. The news he brought back was slightly different from what the Yaren said, but fortunately, there was nothing he was worried about. matter.

Not long after, the Yaren who ran out came back panting again, and brought them good news, that is, the owner of the house over there was willing to give him a tael of silver a month, but he still insisted on letting it go. They pay a year's rent.

Since others are willing to lower the rent for them, Josh is no longer tossing about whether to rent the house for one year or half a year. The location over there is good. They open a barbecue restaurant there, and the business must be good. , so he nodded and asked, "Okay, if that's the case, we'll pay half a year's rent here and a year's rent there, what do you think?"

At this time, if the rent can be reduced a little, the rent will be reduced for one year. It does not mean that they only rent for a few months and do not intend to continue to rent.But there are still a lot of places to spend money behind them. No one can be sure that opening a shop and doing business will make money immediately. In the early stage, the investment must exceed the income, and there will be profits later, so this Save a little time if you can.

"Yes, yes." After receiving an affirmative answer, a smile appeared on Yaren's face this time.
