Chapter 182 Choosing a Shop
"Wait a minute, you two, don't go forward!"
A thin and dark man suddenly jumped out from some corner of the yard. He was dressed in linen clothes and his face looked weathered.
In Lin Xi's words, he was like a migrant worker who was tortured on a construction site.
"I'm talking to you. What are you doing here? You can't just enter this place casually!" the dark and thin man shouted sternly.
"It's really interesting. You said we shouldn't be here, but what's wrong with you?" Lin Xi asked.
The person who suddenly appeared just now scared Lin Xi to death.
"Me?" the man said, "I am the owner of this place. Why do you think I am here?"
Lin Xi was stunned. The master? No matter how he looked at it, he looked more like a farmhand.
"Since you are the owner, let me ask you, can this shop be sold to the outside world?" Lin Xi said calmly.
The dark and thin man paused and asked, "You want to buy it?"
Xiao Yongyan followed Lin Xi's words and said, "We are merchants from other places. We want to do business in the capital and buy a shop. We saw that this street is very popular and only this room is empty, so we came in to take a look."
When the dark and thin man heard this, his eyes rolled around, and it was obvious that he was up to something bad.
Lin Xi was very bored during this period, so she just played with him.
Lin Xi said, "We don't know much about the land prices in the capital, but I heard that a good house in the capital is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, so I guess these shops should be quite expensive as well."
"Not only that," the dark and thin man snorted, "In our capital, houses worth tens of thousands of taels are not uncommon!"
"Boss, how do you sell this shop?" Lin Xi asked kindly.
The dark and thin man was inspired by Lin Xi's words. A big house could be worth ten thousand taels, so it wouldn't be too much to sell his shop for five thousand taels. Although the area was small, the inside was big.
"If you really want to buy it, I'll give you five thousand taels," said the thin dark man.
"As long as we can give it, can we get the deed immediately?" Lin Xi asked.
The man was stunned. There was no contract in his hand. This was just a lie he made up. But the five thousand taels of silver seemed to be waving at him. He felt that he must not miss this opportunity.
"What's the problem?" the man insisted.
"really?"
"Really!" the man said.
Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan looked at each other. This guy must be a liar. The deed to the shop was clearly in their hands, but the other party said he could give it to them.
"Okay, let's go get the money now, and you must not leave." Lin Xi specifically reminded.
How could the man want to leave? He thought to himself that this was simply a pie in the sky. Would he still be a human being if he let him go?
"We will be back in about an hour, so don't leave!" Lin Xi emphasized to him again.
"No, no." The man felt happy. After Lin Xi went out, he quickly closed the door and found his brothers.
These people are all gangsters in the capital. They are idle every day, doing nothing, and walking around the streets just to eat and drink for free.
Now the man finds his brothers and says he has a big business and needs their help.
"Old Eight, are you serious about what you said, five thousand taels of silver?" Some people still didn't believe what the man said.
The man said angrily, "When have I ever lied to you? This is a huge pie in the sky. If you don't want to come, just leave."
The man was a little angry. He treated the man as a brother and helped him to make money, but in the end his brother actually questioned him.
"No, Lao Ba, I said the wrong thing. Tell me how you want me to help you, and we will definitely help you."
"That's right, we are all brothers. How can we let you go alone if there is any problem?"
The man said, "They went back to get the money, but I can't hand over any deed. You will listen to me when the time comes. Once I speak, you will follow behind and surround them. Don't let them run away!"
"Understand, this is no small matter for us brothers."
Speaking of which, he does so many shady things on a daily basis that robbing one or two people is a piece of cake for him now.
"Whether we can make a fortune today depends on you brothers!" the thin dark man instructed again.
"Don't worry, when have we ever let you down?"
Several people rushed back to the shop in a mighty manner.
Lin Xi was not lying when she said she was going back to get the money. All her belongings were stored in the space, and she could get the money at any time as long as she wanted.
When Xiao Yongyan saw Lin Xi take out five thousand taels of silver as if by magic, he still found it incredible.
"Where did you get it from?" Xiao Yongyan asked.
Lin Xi was very proud. "Since the money is in my hands, don't worry about where I put it."
Xiao Yongyan quickly defended himself, "Madam, I'm not concerned about where the money went, I'm just worried about your safety."
"Don't worry, no one in the world can find the money I hid." Lin Xi was quite confident. After all, this was a golden finger that only he had.
Xiao Yongyan was indeed curious, but he also understood that there were some things that Lin Xi probably wouldn't tell him even if he asked.
"Go back."
The two of them strolled outside for a while, and finally had enough time, so they returned to the shop.
The dark and thin man was still waiting in the yard. When he saw Lin Xi and the others coming over, he asked, "Is the money ready?"
"They're all here." Lin Xi put the banknotes on the table nonchalantly.
The dark and thin man was stunned, staring blankly at the silver bills in front of him. He thought that Lin Xi meant to bring a few big boxes full of silver ingots when he said to get the money, but who knew that there was only a piece of paper on the table.
"What is this?" the thin dark man couldn't help but ask.
Lin Xi pretended to be surprised and asked, "This is a silver note. As long as you take it, you can go to the bank to exchange it for silver. Haven't you seen a silver note before?"
At this point, Lin Xi changed his tone again, "That's impossible. The big bosses in Beijing should be more knowledgeable than us. How could they not even know about silver bills?"
How could the dark and thin man be willing to lose face in front of Lin Xi? He forced himself to say, "Oh, it's just a banknote. I know that, but I prefer cash."
Lin Xi said, "It's all the same. Who would carry so much silver when going out?"
This reason convinced the thin and dark man very well.
"Where is the contract I want?" Lin Xi asked.
The dark and thin man evaded the question, "As long as I get the money, I'll give it to you right away."
Although he said so, he felt very nervous inside.
"How can this be possible?" Lin Xi frowned. "If you can't come up with it, all this money I have spent will be wasted."
"What's wrong with you? Do you still want to buy it?" The thin dark man was also a little annoyed. He had never seen such a nagging person. It turned out that women were trouble.
