Chapter 050 Buying the Fourth House
At this time, fewer people came in to eat. Xia He wanted to order some food, but Bai Zhenzhu asked her to sit down first and eat with them later.
Since Xia He had already closed her stall, she was not in a hurry and went upstairs to play with Shuo Shuo.
It was after eight o'clock when the Bai family started to have dinner.
Knowing that Xia He liked braised chicken, and there happened to be half a chicken left, Bai Zhenzhu chopped it up and mixed it with some red oil pork head.
There was some chicken left, so Bai Chenglei made a big plate of chicken, stir-fried a vegetable, and made a loofah and egg drop soup. The whole family, including Xia He, sat around the big round table to eat dinner.
Xu Yin and Shuo Shuo had each eaten a bowl of egg custard before, so they were not hungry.
Xia He sighed: "The food in the restaurant is really good."
Bai Zhenzhu said, "Come over and eat with us in the evening."
Xia He shook her head: "No, no, if I eat this way, I will become a fat man. It's okay to come here occasionally to satisfy my cravings."
Then we started talking about the shop.
"The lady boss of that shop also wanted to develop in Rongcheng. When I heard that she wanted to sell the shop, I hurried over to tell her to keep it for me. I will go with you to take a look tomorrow morning."
Bai Zhenzhu nodded: "Okay."
This is how it is in this era, people from rural areas run to cities, and people from cities run to bigger cities.
Xu Yin was surprised: "Zhenzhu is going to open a clothing store now?"
White Pearl: "If you can buy it, then open it."
Xu Yin had been in the market for a few days and knew that the shops here were not cheap.
Thinking about how Bai Zhenzhu would have to spend a large sum of money to buy a shop, Xu Yin and Liu Fang felt sorry for her.
But they wouldn't say anything, knowing that Bai Zhenzhu had her own plans.
After breakfast the next day, Bai Zhenzhu went to the clothing store with Xia He.
The proprietress is about thirty years old, very young, with big wavy hair and makeup, wearing a red dress with black stockings, very avant-garde and fashionable.
She was stunned when she saw Bai Zhenzhu:
"Isn't this the braised pork beauty?"
Bai Zhenzhu also remembered her and bought braised pork from her.
"Sister, so your store is here. I haven't been here before." Bai Zhenzhu glanced around her store and said, "Sister, the clothes in your store are beautiful too."
"Of course the goods I have are good-looking." The lady boss glanced at Xia He and said, "Aren't you the one buying them?"
Xia He pointed at Bai Zhenzhu:
"If I had known you two knew each other, I would have just told you that she bought it."
The lady boss crossed her hands:
"No matter who buys it, my shop and the goods are worth thirty thousand dollars, not a penny less. Pay me now and I'll give you the keys and leave immediately."
As for this price, how should I put it? The other party certainly didn't ask for an exorbitant price.
The clothing stores on these two streets are about the same size, and the price difference mainly depends on the location.
But 30,000 is still too expensive, and there is a lot of room for bargaining.
Xia He’s shop has been in business for three years. She bought it for 4,000 yuan, so she grabbed a good location.
At that time, this market was far less lively and smaller than it is now. Several rows of bungalows were actually built in recent years.
The location of this clothing store is similar to that of the restaurant, except that this one is a bungalow with only one floor.
But this is a commercial street, so there are more people walking around and it’s more lively.
Bai Zhenzhu thought about it and offered a price:
"Sister, I can only offer 20,000."
The proprietress glared at her directly:
"Twenty thousand? I have so much cargo, and there are winter clothes and shoes in the warehouse. Are you kidding me?"
Bai Zhenzhu and Xia He went to the warehouse to look around.
Xia He chimed in: "Twenty thousand is fine, Sister Nie. We also do business in the market. We know how much your goods are worth, and we didn't bargain with you."
Moreover, there are only summer clothes left in the store, and autumn clothes have not yet been put in. It is obvious that the proprietress had planned to sell the shop from the beginning.
The boss lady said: "Twenty-eight thousand. I'll give you another two thousand."
Bai Zhenzhu shook her head: "Sister, I'll only pay 20,000. If you think it's okay, I'll go get the money right away and we'll go sign the contract and transfer the ownership."
The lady boss waved her hands:
"No, no, twenty thousand is too little. The last one is twenty-five thousand."
Bai Zhenzhu was almost amused by the proprietress. The other party kept lowering the price, and it was obvious that she knew that the asking price of 30,000 was unrealistic.
Bai Zhenzhu thought for a moment and said, "I'll only add one thousand, twenty-one thousand."
Xia He pulled her and said, "Why are you adding more? Twenty thousand is enough. I only get four thousand for such a good position."
The boss lady wanted to curse:
"Xia He, shut up. When did you buy that shop? How can it be compared with the current situation? The shop in your location is now worth less than 30,000 yuan and no one wants to sell it."
I got angry when I said:
"Add another thousand, and you can take the twenty-two thousand."
Bai Zhenzhu exchanged glances with Xia He, and the latter nodded.
"Okay, then sister, let's go sign the contract now, but I need to get the money first."
The proprietress was also straightforward. She turned off the lights and closed the door, gave the shop key to Bai Zhenzhu, and then rode her motorcycle over.
The Jialing 70 is the most popular motorcycle in recent years and a status symbol for the wealthy.
The boss's wife's surname is Nie Li. After chatting with her, I found out that her husband works in Chengdu, and she wants to take her children there to reunite with him.
It would be a problem for a young couple to live apart for a long time. The elders on both sides had long urged her to sell the shop.
She has been reluctant to sell it, mainly because business is really good and she can make money by selling clothes.
Seeing that her child was about to go back to school, she had to make a choice.
Nie Li took Bai Zhenzhu to the bank first.
When Nie Lei at the counter saw Bai Zhenzhu, he thought that the spendthrift woman had come to withdraw money again.
"Sister? Why are you here?" Nie Lei called out to Bai Zhenzhu from behind.
Nie Li pointed at Bai Zhenzhu:
"This girl bought my store. I sent her here to get the money. Please do it quickly. We are in a hurry."
"Are you buying another store?" Nie Lei clicked his tongue but said nothing.
This time, Bai Zhenzhu still withdrew 20,000 yuan, leaving 60,000 yuan in the card.
Nie Lei did not give up:
"Why don't you put the rest of your money into a fixed deposit? The interest rate is really high."
White Pearl smiled and said:
"No, current account is more convenient."
Nie Li rolled her eyes at Nie Lei:
"Why do you care whether they have a fixed deposit or a demand deposit? We are leaving now. I will come to your house tomorrow and tell you something."
Nie Lei: “…”
Current accounts are convenient, so why would this woman still come to withdraw money?
A fat male colleague came over:
"Hey, Leizi, does that beautiful and rich girl know your sister?"
Nie Lei: "He just bought my sister's shop, so they must know each other."
The fat man winked at him obscenely:
"She's so beautiful, let your sister introduce her to you."
Nie Lei: “…”
He remembered the first time he met Bai Zhenzhu, she was dressed like a country girl.
But the temperament was completely different the next two times I came.
Bai Zhenzhu was wearing a purple shirt today, with white pants and a pair of white sneakers.
Although she was not wearing any makeup, she was fair-skinned and Nie Lei thought she was much more fashionable than his sister.
