I looked up and sure enough, there was a large stone sign. I became even more puzzled and asked, "Why is there no one on this commercial street? Is it newly built and hasn't been opened to businesses yet?"
“It was built in 2014…” At this point, the young man lowered his voice and said to me, “This commercial street is a bit eerie. I heard it has bad feng shui, and ordinary people can’t suppress the evil energy inside… Let me tell you, many big brands have opened stores here before, but none of them made money, and they all went out of business later… Look at this street, our street entrance is packed with people, but this place is only separated from us by an alley, and nobody wants to go in… If this isn’t eerie, what is it?”
Of course, I didn't want to believe such a far-fetched statement. In the spirit of scientific business, after smiling, I asked him again, "Is the environment inside not good?"
The young man gave me a slightly disdainful look and replied, "Is this your first time in the ancient city? ... Anyone familiar with the ancient city knows that if Jiulongju's environment is second to none in the ancient city, then no one would dare to say they are first...

"That's right... You're not thinking of doing business inside, are you?"
"I'm just curious... By the way, buddy, how's the rent up there now?"
"It's cheap, much cheaper than on this street... Here, a 100-square-meter shop would cost at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan a year in rent, but in there you can rent it for only 50,000 to 60,000 yuan..." At this point, the young man smiled disdainfully and continued, "Even if you can rent it for 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, what good will it do?... Once you're inside, you won't even be able to cover your costs, unless the landlord inside is willing to pay you out of pocket, otherwise even a fool wouldn't want to go in and do business!"
