A boy from East Street, Qingshui Town.
"Brother Wang, the shops you introduced to me are all pretty good. I like two of them, both in size and location." Lin Mo bowed to Boss Wang.
When he came back from the provincial capital, he went to the human trafficker to ask Boss Wang for help in finding a shop. The ox cart he took home was bought from him.
Boss Wang nodded and said with a smile, "As long as Boss Lin likes it, that's fine. We just visited several of these stores. Have you decided which one you want?"
Lin Mo nodded. The two houses he liked were both two-story buildings with backyards.
The first one is smaller, but it has a better location and more traffic, so it's the perfect location for doing business.
The second one is bigger and better meets Lin Mo's requirements, but its location is worse. It is deep in the street and there are few people passing by on weekdays. The surrounding shops are always closed and looking for tenants. The ones that are still holding on are only because their lease period has not expired yet.
But Lin Mo still planned to keep this family. There were many people in his family, and the distance between the village and the town was quite far, so they had to have a place to stay.
Besides, good wine needs no bush. He is confident that with his marketing methods and delicious food, he will be able to successfully attract customers.
"What are the prices for both?"
When Boss Wang heard there was a good chance, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and his voice couldn't help but contain a bit of flattery: "This shop with a large flow of people is smaller, but the price is higher. His shop used to be a teahouse, and the price is two hundred and fifty taels.
This larger location is not as good, but because the square is relatively large, even though there are fewer people, the owner still asks for two hundred taels.
Both shops require full payment and do not accept credit, otherwise they will not sell to you."
Boss Wang's last sentence was a bit inquiring. Few people would be willing to pay a one-time fee to buy a shop, mainly because the price was high. Business was not good these days, and most people who wanted to make a living chose to rent a shop.
"The price is not negotiable?" Lin Mo pretended to consider it. He had inquired about the housing prices in this area before, and this amount was about the same as he expected.
Boss Wang sighed in embarrassment and said earnestly, "Boss Lin, I don't dare to quote you a random price. There are many guarantors around here, and their prices are very transparent. If Boss Lin is short of money...why not consider a monthly or annual lease?"
Although these two shops do not support installment payments, he is still willing to rent them out. In his opinion, renting a house to do business is definitely more cost-effective than buying a house.
Lin Mo chuckled. "Let's just rent a house. Let's get a bigger one. Boss Wang, let's go transfer the ownership today. I'm in a hurry to decorate and open the business."
Lin Mo also wanted to rent a house at first, but before the end of the world, he saw a lot of news about people who rented shops to do business and were kicked out by landlords after their business became booming.
The key point is that after the landlord kicked you out, you started your business again, which is really speechless.
He himself was not afraid of encountering such things. What he wanted more was to have a home of his own in the town.
His decoration is relatively modern, so if the landlord refuses to rent the shop or wants to take back the shop, all his efforts will be in vain.
Boss Wang happily agreed and made an appointment with the store owner to transfer ownership and sign the contract tomorrow. Lin Mo was a little tired after running the shop all day, so he found a restaurant to rest for the night.
The agreed transfer location was in the shop, so Lin Mo had a quick lunch and rushed to the shop.
The shop is located in the middle and lower part of West Street. This street is not as lively as East Street and North Street, but it is also prosperous, and many neighbors come here to buy food.
There is a newly opened dim sum shop opposite. If he wants to make food, it would be a good place to open the shop.
The shop owner was a wealthy old man. When he saw Lin Mo coming in, he immediately stood up and greeted him enthusiastically: "This is Boss Lin, right? Boss Wang said you want to buy my shop. Let's sign the contract here today. Do you think there is any problem?"
Lin Mo looked around the house again and said with a smile, "No problem, but I don't know if the price can be lowered a bit. Although this house is big.
But it’s also quite old, and I’ll have to spend a lot of money to renovate it. Plus, there are not many people on the street, so these two hundred miles are really a bit…”
Lin Mo stopped talking at that point. The shopkeeper's expression changed instantly. He looked at Lin Mo with embarrassment, and finally said helplessly: "To be honest, Boss Lin, my price is not high.
There are several shops around here that are about the same size as mine, and they all ask for higher prices than mine. If I wasn't in a hurry to sell, I wouldn't have offered this price."
Lin Mo didn't say anything, but he knew very well that the house was old and the price shouldn't be so high. He would have to renovate and add to it later. Now was a time when he needed money urgently, and he didn't want to be a sucker.
Seeing this, the shop owner thought about it again and again, and then gave up and said, "Boss Lin is right. This house is old, and it will cost a lot of money to renovate it. I will reduce the 200 taels by 10 taels, making 190 taels. This is my lowest offer. What do you think, Boss Lin?"
Lin Mo smiled and nodded cheerfully, "Thank you, shopkeeper. In that case, let's sign the contract now. Please ask Boss Wang to write a contract and transfer the ownership now."
Boss Wang is a guarantor. In this world, a guarantor is equivalent to a current agent. If an agent helps you buy a house, he will naturally earn some agency fees.
People in this world value credibility and reputation more than anything else. If someone is overdue in debt or even simply refuses to pay it back, the government will punish them severely.
And it doesn't mean that you don't have to pay back the money after the beating. You still have to pay it back after the beating. If you don't have money, you have to sell your children or buy a house and land to pay it back. If you can't pay it back, the government will find a guarantor to pay it back on your behalf.
Therefore, guarantors can participate in a wider range of projects, from house sales, human trafficking and livestock trading, and can provide guarantees and deeds.
Therefore, he could guarantee the direct signing of the contract for transfer of ownership. Not only Boss Wang was happy about this, but Lin Mo was also very happy.
At least you don't have to waste time going to the county government office to transfer the property. After all, the trip back and forth will delay it for several days.
However, if he went to the government to register, he would have to pay a handling fee, which was equivalent to an agency fee. It would cost several hundred taels of silver, so Lin Mo naturally would not be stingy and be reluctant to spend this.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, please wait a moment. I'll sign the contract right away."
Hearing Lin Mo's straightforward response, Boss Wang became even more enthusiastic. He took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone he carried with him and wrote the contract in a very eloquent manner.
Lin Mo took out two hundred taels and handed it to Boss Wang. He smiled and handed it over to the other party, then took the land deed and entertained Lin Mo.
Lin Mo glanced at the contents of the contract, and after confirming that there was no problem, he pressed his fingerprint and signed his name.
The contract was made in three copies, one for the store owner and one for Lin Mo, and the remaining copy was the one that Boss Wang would send to the county government office as a record.
