A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 113: People in the light don’t tell the hidden story

Seeing that the three men looked much better, Wang Yaren guessed that they were quite satisfied with the shop.

Zhang Cheng: "This shop is OK. I wonder how much it costs?"

"To be honest, the price of this shop is 600 taels."

Zhang Cheng was not in a hurry to ask for it right away: "Okay, let's look at the next one."

Wang Yaren nodded, and the three of them walked out of the shop and followed Wang Yaren forward.

After visiting four more shops, Wang Ya Ren took the three people back to the shop.

Wang Ya's people asked someone to serve tea and snacks to everyone. After walking for the whole morning, everyone was a little tired and thirsty.

Zhang Cheng raised his cup and took a sip of tea, then put it down and said to Wang Yaren: "Wang Yaren, let's discuss this and I'll get back to you later."

"Okay, the three of you can discuss it. If you need anything, just call me. I'll be right next to you."

After Wang Yaren sat a little further away, the three of them began to talk.

Zhang Cheng: "I prefer the second store, which has two floors and is not too big, but has a good view and has many things sold in the surrounding stores.

I've seen that the things they sell aren't particularly expensive, and most of them are visited by common people and people who are well-dressed. This shop is very suitable for a food store."

Zhang Yunyue nodded: "Yeah, I think so too. Then our food shop will be this one. What do you think of my hot pot shop? I think the fourth and fifth ones are both fine."

Zhang Xingyun: "Yueyue, I think the fourth room is better than the fifth."

"Hmm? Then big brother, tell me what's better. I'm a little confused right now."

“Well, although judging by the size of the shops inside, both the upper and lower floors are very large, and they were all restaurants before, and the backyards are similar, but there is a gambling house in the alley next to the fifth shop.

Just now you were all looking inside, and I saw a lot of men going into the alley, so I went in to see, and inside was the gambling house. Our family has no foundation, so I think it’s better to stay away from this kind of thing.”

"I haven't noticed that. Let's forget about this one. With a gambling house, I'm afraid something might happen one day and affect the surrounding areas. Second uncle, what do you think?"

Zhang Cheng: "I was also wavering between the fourth and fifth ones just now. After listening to Xiaoyun, let's choose the fourth one. Your hot pot restaurant targets the wealthy people. There are many wealthy people and rich families on East Street.

The decoration of the surrounding shops and the customers who come into the fourth shop are all well-dressed. There are restaurants around, but not many. Yours is a hot pot restaurant, which can attract people, and hot pot is relatively novel. "

Zhang Yunyue nodded: "Okay, then choose the second and fourth rooms. The second room is 600 taels, and the fourth room was a restaurant before, so the area of the first floor is about 200 square meters.

It's about 1300 square meters, and the location is better. It costs taels. I still have to ask Wang Ya to lower the price of the store."

Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xingyun nodded. Seeing that they had almost finished the discussion, Zhang Yunyue called Wang Yaren over.

"Wang Yaren, we have almost finished discussing this, could you please come over here?"

When Wang Yaren heard Zhang Yunyue calling him, he walked over and sat opposite the three of them, looking at them and said.

"My three guests, I wonder what the result of the discussion is?"

Zhang Yunyue: "We are interested in the second and fourth stores. Let's be frank. We would like you to lower the price. If it is suitable, we will take both stores. What do you think?"

When Wang Yaren heard Zhang Yunyue say that he wanted it from both stores, he was delighted. If that was the case, his commission this month would be quite a lot. He was determined to make this deal happen.

But you should still take it slow and bargain slowly. After all, the higher the selling price, the higher your commission will be.

"Girl, how about this, I'll give you 10 taels less silver in each store?"

Zhang Yunyue shook her head and said, "Wang Yanren, you are not very sincere in lowering the price. We are buying two stores, not just one. Moreover, if we cooperate this time and have this need next time, we will come to you again. You should think about it again."

After being reminded by Zhang Yunyue, Wang Yaren stopped shouting out prices. "Well, young lady, since everyone wants to trade with sincerity, the second shop will only charge 550 taels, and the fourth shop will charge 1200 taels. These two are the lowest prices given by the shop owners."

"Okay, if that's the case, then let's make a deal. By the way, do you need to go to the government office to help sign the contract for the shop, or do we need to go together with the shop owner to sign the contract?"

"Miss, it's like this. To sign the deed for a shop in the county, the owner, you and me, the middleman, need to go to the government office to sign the deed. By the way, the deed fee is five taels. For the two shops here, it's 10 taels."

"Okay, that's no problem. Then when will we sign the contract?"

"It's noon now. I will go to the landlord's house this afternoon to inform him. Otherwise, you can come to the brokerage firm at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow and we will go to the county government office together to handle the deed.

By the way, you three need to pay a deposit, 100 taels for the two shops, otherwise I will notify the owner, but if you don’t come tomorrow, the owner will have a problem with our shop.”

"Okay, I understand. I'll pay a deposit of 100 taels first." After saying that, Zhang Yunyue took out a silver note of 100 taels from his arms and handed it to Wang Yaren.

"Okay, I'll write you two receipts for each store to receive the deposit of 50 taels, so that both parties can prove that the money has been paid and received."

Zhang Cheng: "Yes, that's the truth."

After receiving the money, Wang Ya Ren called the accountant of the pawnshop, wrote two receipts and handed them to Zhang Yunyue.

Zhang Yunyue took the receipt and put it away: "Then we will leave first, and come to the dental clinic to find you at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow."

"Okay, take care, all three of you."

"Second Uncle, we have found a shop and can get the title deed tomorrow. Why don't we go to Tianxiang Tower to celebrate today and then we can get busy tomorrow after we get the title deed." Zhang Yunyue said with a smile.

Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said with great heroism.

"Today is indeed worth celebrating. I didn't expect to find two shops in such a short time. Let's go to Tianxianglou. Second uncle will take you to eat."

Tianxianglou is also on the main street, located towards East Street, and is a place where wealthy people go.

Arrived at the entrance of Tianxiang Tower.

The waiter came forward and asked, "Three guests, would you like to have lunch?"

Zhang Cheng nodded.

The waiter quickly raised his hand to signal for them to come in: "Please come in, my three guests."

Zhang Yunyue and the other two found a seat by the side in the lobby and sat down.

Then a waiter came forward with a teapot, poured a cup of tea for Zhang Yunyue and the other two, and asked:

"My three guests, if you would like to order something to eat, there is a menu on the wall over there, or I can introduce it to you."

Zhang Yunyue looked in the direction the waiter pointed, and saw different wooden signs with the names of various dishes written on them.
