Chapter 491 Finding a good location for future stores

Now that they have the gold bars and the money they earned during the summer vacation, both siblings have a place to continue making money.

It's time for siblings Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan to fulfill the wishes they made during the holidays.

On the one hand, he asked Datou and Erhua to keep an eye on the house, while he took the map to choose a place, and then he acted separately to look at the good streets and inquire about the situation.

Running around outside during the day and working on my career at night.

After a week, their hard work paid off and they finally found it.

Ning Qingyuan found a courtyard house with two entrances that suited his taste very much and bought it for seven thousand five hundred yuan.

At this point, every member of the Ning family had bought their own house, with at least one courtyard house for each person.

Now that he is studying, he either lives in school or at home. Considering that it is not good to just leave the house alone as it will easily go to ruin, Ning Qingyuan plans to clean up the house and rent it out, just like his sister said, and collect rent without doing anything.

Ning Xiyue also found a courtyard house with two entrances for sale in a prosperous area.

The department store, western restaurant, roast duck restaurant, grocery store, supply and marketing cooperative, etc. are all not far away across the street from the back house.

Ning Xiyue was very satisfied with this row of back houses facing the street. There was enough traffic and no obstructions in front, so a sign could be seen at a glance.

You can just open a few windows and sell goods directly. It would be a good idea to use this courtyard house as the first store or head office in the future.

Ning Xiyue has already started to imagine how to transform this yard.

The homeowner in front of her pulled her back.

"My house is pretty good, right? It's in a good location, well-preserved, and large. It's a full 750 square meters. I'm also sincere about selling it. If you really want to buy it, I'll give you a fair price. This is the amount."

The homeowner gestured a number with his hands.

Ning Xiyue was stunned by the number and even suspected that she had seen it wrong. She didn't want to think about being tactful or negotiating anymore and just turned around and left.

The owner was caught off guard and hurriedly grabbed Ning Xiyue: "Hey, little comrade, don't leave, let's talk, this price is very honest."

Ning Xiyue stopped and looked at the owner who was asking for too much, so she just said it bluntly:

"Don't think I'm a young comrade and you're lying to me. I'm not a girl who knows nothing. I know the prices of courtyard houses in Beijing. I can buy a courtyard house with three entrances and more than 1,000 square meters at half the price of your house. You really dare to say "honest price". I can buy two courtyard houses for 25,000 yuan."

This uncle was quite nice. He could have robbed her of 25,000 yuan, but he chose to give her a courtyard house.

Does she look like the big head on the silver dollar?

She bought her last 1,400-square-meter courtyard house for only 11,000 yuan.

Wow, this homeowner is really brave. Although the location here is good, it is not so high. He is crazy about money. He really dares to say the words "honest price" with a sincere face. It's not a shame!

"Ahahaha, young comrade, you must have seen it wrong. I bid 15,000, but you thought it was 25,000. We are all honest people, so of course we are honest with the price. 15,000, this location is really good."

It was obvious that the homeowner didn't feel he had done anything wrong. Now that he knew she was an expert at the market and couldn't fool her, he smiled and changed his words without any nervousness.

In this case, Ning Xiyue also followed suit, softened her expression, and pretended to be surprised:

"Really? Then maybe I really saw it wrongly. My eyes are a little heavy."

"But, uncle, fifteen thousand is still a bit expensive. Your house is small, please give me a cheaper price. My relative bought a house of 1,500 square meters for just over ten thousand. If my parents knew that I spent so much more than her to buy a house of 700 square meters, they would definitely scold me."

Ning Xiyue showed a negotiating expression on her face: "A little less, how about 10,000?"

The homeowner shook his head in embarrassment:

“The price of ten thousand is really not good. Look at my location, the most prosperous place, it can’t be compared with those remote suburbs.

"I see that you really want to buy this house, so I can give you 12,000 yuan. Any less is really not acceptable. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and I rely on this money to make a living." ”

The owner of this house is a real acting genius. He started crying as soon as he said he would. His eyes turned red. Ning Xiyue admired him deeply.

He has a dark heart, thick skin, and can act. He is a good candidate for doing business.

It's a pity that I met her.

In the end, Ning Xiyue ruthlessly chopped a few more times and bought it for the full price of 10,500.

The two siblings found a house and hired a temporary construction team from a nearby village to renovate it.

This temporary team was the one Ning Xiyue had worked with before when she renovated the honeycomb-like courtyard. They were all honest, simple and hardworking farmers. The first time they worked together was very pleasant, so Ning Xiyue looked for them this time as well.

Ning Qingyuan's house was to be rented out, and it was in good condition, so it was very simple to just clean it up. He would supervise the work himself, and when the construction team arrived, they promised to finish it in two days.

Ning Xiyue's house will be used as a store in the future, so it will require major changes.

So the construction team started working on Ning Qingyuan's house.

Ning Xiyue quickly took advantage of these two days to think about how to design the store and what major changes should be made.

She thought about the elements needed for cosmetics stores seen in later generations, combined with the characteristics of this era and the features of her house, and designed a basic sketch overnight.

Since Wang Jiandong was a student majoring in architecture, she took the sketch to Wang Jiandong's home and asked him for help.

Wang Jiandong was fascinated by the design draft. After reading it, he clapped his hands on the table and expressed his approval. He was even more interested in the store that Ning Xiyue mentioned.

"Sister Xi, your design draft has good ideas and creativity. Some unreasonable parts can be slightly modified. Take me to check it out in person later. We can also discuss this design draft and try to make it better and implement the idea."

"Also, I have a request. Is that possible?" Wang Jiandong asked uncomfortably.
