As Feng Haidong led his three children to look after the shop, the owner of the two shops, who was also the middle-aged man who ran the small shop next door, came over.
"Brother Feng, you're here to look at the shops again? What do you think? The location of these two shops is absolutely excellent, very close to the intersection. Once that building at the intersection of the pedestrian street is completed, this place will be very close to the pedestrian street. At that time, people who stroll along the pedestrian street will definitely come here."
Upon hearing the voice, Feng Haidong and the three children turned to look at the speaker.
Lu Yue quickly ran to her uncle's side and took his hand.
Feng Qifan also moved closer to his father and looked him up and down.
Yue Rujuan looked at the other person and said, "We don't know when that building at the pedestrian street intersection will be completed. And I heard that even if it is completed, the pedestrian street intersection will be re-planned. This road looks like it's on the opposite side of the pedestrian street, but it's hard to say whether it will be able to attract tourists to the pedestrian street."
Feng Haidong was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Yue Rujuan to be so eloquent.
Upon hearing Yue Rujuan's words, the middle-aged man's smile froze, and he also sized Yue Rujuan up.
At this moment, the middle-aged man was unsure of Yue Rujuan's identity.
In particular, Yue Rujuan's local accent from the provincial capital indicates that she is a local.
This made the middle-aged man think that the other person did not sound like Feng Haidong, who had a regional accent.
After a moment's hesitation, the man said, "No matter how the pedestrian street intersection is renovated, the renovation will be completed sooner or later. The timeline is written in the plan, and the renovation will definitely be completed when the time comes."
Yue Rujuan asked, "When was that? Before the pedestrian street intersection was renovated, were there hardly any people here?"
Yue Rujuan's relentless pressure left the middle-aged man somewhat at a loss.
The man couldn't help but think: She's clearly a young girl, yet she's so eloquent.
Seeing that Yue Rujuan's words left the landlord speechless, Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Brother, we do want to rent these two rooms, but the price you quoted before was indeed a bit too high."
Before the other party could speak, Feng Haidong said, "For the same price, I think I could probably rent a room on the pedestrian street as well. It might not be as big as these two, but we're a small business, so it doesn't really have to be this big. I wonder if you would be willing to lower the price a bit?"
After hearing Feng Haidong's request, the other party hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much do you want to lower the price?"
Feng Haidong smiled, raised his hand, and showed the other party a number, saying, "This is the amount for one year. If you think it's acceptable, I can rent this place for three years at once."
Looking at the amount Feng Haidong showed, and his statement that he could rent it for three years at once.
The landlord was somewhat tempted after hearing this.
In fact, the two street-facing shops were a form of unexpected compensation for the landlord.
Including the small shop he runs himself, he has only had the property rights for a little over a year.
The landlord originally thought that since the road was right in front of the pedestrian street, renting out these shops would definitely not be a problem and they would be in high demand.
But to the landlord's surprise, the pedestrian street intersection was already undergoing renovations.
Especially when the building at the intersection was first built, it completely blocked out the road.
Nowadays, people who come to the pedestrian street enter from the other side, and the road where the landlord's shop is located is almost ignored.
Moreover, street vending is now permitted, and many small business owners simply set up a cart or even just a tarpaulin and casually set up a stall on the street, paying only a symbolic management fee, which is clearly more cost-effective than renting a shop.
So if Feng Haidong hadn't appeared, this landlord really thought the shop might have gone bankrupt.
Originally, the landlord thought that Feng Haidong didn't have a local accent, so when Feng Haidong came to visit last time, the landlord was thinking of messing with him and the price he quoted was really not cheap at all.
But today, Feng Haidong brought three children with him, one of whom, a rather older girl, spoke with a local accent from the provincial capital.
This made the landlord think that since Feng Haidong dared to rent a shop to do business, he must know people in the provincial capital.
With this mindset, the landlord suddenly realized that he didn't have much of an advantage anymore.
However, the landlord did not agree immediately.
“Brother, you seem like a very honest person. How about this, I’ll go home and discuss it. If you have time in the next couple of days, come over again. If your family agrees, I’ll rent it to you.”
Feng Haidong could tell that the landlord was already tempted, but wanted to hold out a little longer.
He smiled and said, "Brother, to be honest, I came over over the weekend, and I might be leaving tomorrow. How about this, I'll leave you my phone number. If you decide to come, you can call me, and my sister in the provincial capital will let me know. Then I'll come over, okay?"
The landlord was somewhat surprised: "You're leaving tomorrow?"
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "There's no way around it. I haven't come to the provincial capital yet, and my child has to go to school after the weekend, so I definitely have to take my child back tomorrow."
The landlord thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then leave me your phone number. I'll discuss it with my family and let you know."
Feng Haidong said, "Okay, thank you for your understanding, brother."
Feng Haidong left his third cousin's phone number with them, then left with his three children.
On the way back, Yue Rujuan couldn't help but say, "Uncle, I think the price you offered was too high. That road does indeed face the pedestrian street, but now the intersection of the pedestrian street is being renovated, and many people don't use that road when they get to the pedestrian street."
Furthermore, getting to that road requires crossing the street, and even if the construction at the pedestrian street intersection is completed, people visiting the pedestrian street may not necessarily walk down that road.
