The broker saw that Chen Shuilian had a strong desire to rent a house, and knew that as long as the price could be lowered appropriately, he would be able to get the order.
So he said patiently, "Okay, no problem. I'll go ask right away. Please come back to me at the same time tomorrow so I can tell you the answer."
"No problem." Chen Shuilian added before leaving, "Especially the house by the river. The location is really not that good. I think the price can definitely be lowered. Just do your best."
"Of course, of course. I will try my best." The broker sent her out respectfully.
The next day, Chen Shuilian arrived at the broker's house on time.
When the broker saw her, he immediately said with great joy, "I asked for you yesterday. The first two shops on the main street will definitely not lower their prices. You know that there is no shortage of people renting shops like that. But fortunately, the third shop near the main street is willing to lower its price. The owner is willing to charge only ten taels of silver per month. The owner of the shop near the river is also willing to lower the price to seven taels of silver per month because it has not been rented out."
Chen Shuilian pretended to be embarrassed. "Well, it seems that the shop near the river is cheaper...but the location is really..."
The veterinarian smiled and flattered Chen Shuilian, "But I think that position will be fine for you. I heard that you are in the food business. As long as the food tastes good enough, are you worried about not being able to keep customers?"
Chen Shuilian pretended to be hesitant. "Although that's true, the location of this shop is indeed not as good as those on the main street. So when you think about it, the shop near the main street only costs ten taels of silver, which is not expensive."
The broker knew that what Chen Shuilian said made sense, but the owner of the shop by the river really couldn't rent it out. It had been rented out for almost half a year, and not many people were interested in it.
In order to rent out the shop, his family was willing to give him more commission.
At this time, he could only go against his conscience and continue to speak for him.
"You may only be short of three taels of silver a month, which is not much, but it will cost you nearly thirty taels more in a year! When doing business, of course you have to save as much as you can."
"Oh, let me think about it."
They are all old foxes. Couldn't Chen Shuilian see that the dealer was eager to sell her the riverside shop?
She saw through it immediately and thought that the man must have received some benefit from others to be willing to promote the product so diligently.
It seems that the owner of the shop is also eager to rent out the shop.
In that case, she was no longer anxious.
Although she really likes the house, who knows, if she delays a little, the price might be lowered!
The broker said regretfully, "Okay, then you think about it. I'll also ask the landlord if he can give you any discount."
Chen Shuilian nodded, "Okay, if you have any good news, come find me at Fengling Street. I'll be doing business there in the morning."
"Okay."
Several days passed and no news came.
Just when Chen Shuilian was feeling regretful, unexpectedly good news came.
Perhaps the homeowner was the first to get impatient, so the broker once again approached Chen Shuilian.
The broker smiled and said, "Boss Chen, are you still renting the shop?"
Chen Shuilian nodded and said, "Of course I will rent it. I just haven't seen a suitable house yet. You said the shops you showed me last time, the ones I like, their rents are not cheap, and the ones I don't like, they are cheap, but not so cheap that I'm tempted. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, I just want to take a look and see if there are other shops that will be vacant recently."
