Chapter 1907: Shop Location Selected
The second shop was actually near the inn where Shu Yu and the others were currently staying.
This street is also very lively, with shops of about 300 square meters.
I wonder if Qi Lie considered that she didn't have a house in Changjin Prefecture, so he chose three shops, each with a courtyard behind it, so she could rest when she came over.
Shu Yu was quite satisfied with the second shop, both in terms of its size and layout.
The only thing that made her sigh was that there were many inns and restaurants nearby, so there were a lot of carriages passing by. Some people were just passing by to have a meal at the restaurant, while others were stopped by the inn because there wasn't enough space in the backyard for their carriages to stop.
These carriages were parked nearby, often blocking the entrances of some shops.
Shu Yu only browsed around the shop for a short while before coming out to find that the doorway was already too narrow to pass through, so she had to squeeze through. Looking at the other shops nearby, such as cosmetics stores and cloth shops, she could only see the signs above their heads.
Even if the customer says they'll be out in a little while, it's just a short break, but it still affects business.
"That won't do," Shu Yu shook her head.
"Let's go to the third shop."
The third shop is larger than the previous two, with 350 square meters, and most importantly, it is located at a corner.
This location connects two streets, and it's easily visible from any direction.
The shop's backyard was also quite large. It seemed that the shop used to be a cloth shop, so there was a large warehouse in the backyard. To ensure the fabrics remained dry and clean, the warehouse was extremely well-maintained, with measures in place to prevent moisture, dampness, snakes, insects, and rodents.
For Shu Yu, it couldn't be better.
They will definitely need to ship a large amount of goods over later, so inventory is very important. A warehouse that is too small, too damp, or too messy will not work.
This place is perfect.
Seeing the light in her eyes, Meng Yunzheng knew she would be satisfied. "Have you made your choice?"
"Yes, right here."
"I knew you'd like it." When Qi Lie was choosing a shop before, he had dragged him along to look at them.
Meng Yunzheng also took a liking to this one at first glance, but Qi Lie felt that having only one option was not good, so he found two more shop deeds that he thought were very good and added them in.
After going around in circles, this shop is still the one I like best.
"This shop is quite clean. I'll have someone tidy it up a bit later. There aren't too many things that need to be changed. I think the opening date shouldn't be too far off."
Shu Yu nodded, "It's just that I don't know any craftsmen here. Although my father can do it, he doesn't have the manpower or time here, so we'll have to find someone else."
"Don't worry about the craftsmen. Do you still remember Aunt He?"
"I remember." When Meng Yunzheng took the imperial examination, he rented a courtyard in Changjin Mansion and hired Aunt He to do his laundry and cooking at home.
“Aunt He’s brother is a craftsman. I saw a box next to Aunt He before, which was made by her brother. His craftsmanship is quite good.”
Shu Yu clasped her hands together. "Alright, then let's ask Aunt He first. My dad's here, so I'll have him talk to Aunt He's brother." Her dad was a professional; he could tell whether the other party had real skills or not in just a few words.
The shop renovation is starting to take shape; next is...
"We still need to find a manager and a staff member. I have someone in mind for the staff member, but it's the manager. It's really not easy to find one. I don't know any experienced managers in Changjin Mansion who can work independently."
