Su Miaomiao wanted to rent a place to run her own catering business and open a franchised restaurant chain, but she hadn't decided what to do specifically, so she kept it a secret from Chu Xiangxiang for the time being.
"You'll know when the time comes. I believe you'll be busy soon. Are you ready?"
"I'm ready, I'm always ready!"
Chu Xiangxiang immediately smiled and felt like she had endless energy.
Ever since Xiao Yunfei divided the villagers into groups, each group has its own work to do and its own team leader.
All the people around her who were good friends with her became small leaders all of a sudden, and even her sister Chu Xiangxiang became the leader of the mountain goods group. Only she followed Su Miaomiao every day and didn't know what to do.
But fortunately, from what Su Miaomiao said, she knew she would have work to do soon.
The two of them went to the snack street. Most of the people who buy food in the town gathered here. There were also clinics and inns in this business district. There was plenty of customers, so it was a good place to open a restaurant.
Su Miaomiao took Chu Xiangxiang for a stroll on the street and happened to come across four shops for rent.
These four shops are next to each other and are owned by the same person.
Su Miaomiao went to ask and found that the rent the landlord asked for was much cheaper than other shops around, and he seemed very anxious to sell the shop.
There must be something wrong when things are unusual. I thought I wouldn't be able to get anything out of the landlord, so I was cautious. I made an appointment with the landlord to come back at the same time tomorrow to discuss renting the shop, and then left.
After going out, Su Miaomiao went to the bun shop next door. She took the opportunity to buy buns to ask the owner of the bun shop.
You don’t know until you ask, and you’ll be shocked when you ask.
The owner of the bun shop said that the shops next door were unlucky. Many people had rented the shops and wanted to do business there, but whoever opened a shop there ended up losing money.
The other party also told her secretly that strange noises were heard from those shops at night, which were very evil. The owner of the house had asked many masters to look at it, but it was of no use as no one could figure out what was going on.
He also kindly reminded Su Miaomiao to stay away from the shop when passing by at night, so as not to accidentally get dirty.
If only one person said this, it might be that the other party had a grudge against the landlord, but Su Miaomiao asked several people in succession, and everyone said the same thing.
She also found out that the owner of the shop at that time actually wanted to sell the shop as soon as possible, but he couldn't sell it for a long time, so he had to find a sucker to rent it out.
There were some things Su Miaomiao didn't believe before, but since she traveled to ancient times with the system space and met the powerful witch doctor Zhang Xing, she now firmly believes in these strange and supernatural things.
Now these rumors about this shop have attracted her attention.
But this shop was exactly what she wanted, no matter the location or the price, so she was reluctant to give it up.
So she drove directly home to pick up Zhang Xing. She planned to let Zhang Xing come and see what was going on.
If Zhang Xing can handle it, wouldn't she be getting a great bargain?
As she thought this in her heart, she couldn't help but step on the accelerator and drive faster.
At this moment, Zhang Xing just saw the shop and couldn't help frowning before he got close.
He said bluntly.
"These shops have been cursed. Most likely, someone has secretly placed something ominous inside."
"Zhang Xing, since you see the problem, can you solve it?"
"Yes, they are just some child's tricks."
Zhang Xing said it lightly, with an arrogant attitude that he didn't take it seriously at all.
When Su Miaomiao saw this, she immediately felt at ease.
Zhang Xing has the capital to be proud, and she believes in Zhang Xing.
"We'll go in later. Ask the owner to show us around the shop. If you see me making this gesture, it means I'm 100% sure I can turn this shop into a popular one. You can then boldly negotiate the price with the owner."
"Okay, let's do it!"
After the two agreed on the gesture, they walked into the shop side by side.
The landlord was sighing in the shop. When he saw Su Miaomiao coming back so soon, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Has this young lady thought it through in advance and decided to rent this shop?"
"I had almost considered renting all four shops together, but then I heard some bad rumors and I'm a little hesitant."
Hearing Su Miaomiao say this, the homeowner spoke quickly.
"Don't listen to their nonsense. These shops are in great shape. It's because of their lies that I'm unable to rent them out. How about this? I'll give you a lower rent. If you think it's suitable, rent it quickly. Otherwise, you'll miss out if you miss this opportunity."
The goal of making the boss feel guilty and lower the price was achieved, Su Miaomiao said with a smile.
"No rush. I brought my brother here this time to help me make a decision. Please take us around first."
"Okay, no problem, take a look around. Don't worry, these shops are absolutely fine."
The landlord was very enthusiastic and increased the price without waiting for Su Miaomiao to ask.
"If you want to rent these four shops together, you can use the yard in the back for free. It's quite large, but it's been abandoned for too long. You can clean it up and plant some flowers and plants. It's actually a nice place. I'll show you around."
Su Miaomiao had never known that there was a yard behind the shop.
When she saw it now, she immediately wanted to rent these four shops even more.
The yard is very large and can probably accommodate about a hundred people at the same time. We can train employees and receive franchisees here.
There are two abandoned rooms in the yard, which can be used as offices and resting places for employees after being cleaned up.
While Su Miaomiao was talking to the landlord, Zhang Xing didn't say much, looking here and there.
Finally, Su Miaomiao saw Zhang Xing making gestures to her.
"It's stable!"
She thought this in her mind and immediately started negotiating the price with the homeowner.
"I find it troublesome to keep renting these four shops. Why don't you just rent and sell them to me?"
"Okay, didn't I just tell you the selling price? Thirty taels for all four shops. If you agree, we can make the deal anytime."
"Don't be ridiculous. I can't give you the price you offered me. I can only give you 60% of what I offered, 18 taels of silver."
"No, that won't work. Go ask around this street and see which shop sells it this cheap. I've already given you the lowest price. If you keep asking for more, there's no point in negotiating this deal."
"Other shops really won't sell at this price, but every shop is different. You know the situation of your shops better than I do, so I don't need to explain it in detail. You've already hired a few masters, but you still can't handle them properly. Now you can't sell them, and you can't rent them out. You're afraid to stay here any longer if you want to use them. If this continues, the rent of these four shops will be a huge burden on you. These days, it's more practical to hold money in your own hands. If I don't buy these four shops, they will be worthless to you, right?"
Everything Su Miaomiao said made sense. The homeowner was immediately defeated and spoke with his head hung.
