Chapter 114 Unlucky (Update 1)
Yes, it was a jump, at least the feet were off the ground.
Because the one Zhuang Qingning chose was not the larger one, nor the smaller one, but the empty shop two shops away to the east of Fushun Building.
"Yes, this one." Zhuang Qingning nodded affirmatively: "It looks like a good location, clean and spacious, it should be good."
The area is even larger than the slightly larger shop that Zhang Yongchang was looking for, almost twice the size of that small shop, and the location is also better.
Zhuang Qingning thought it was very good.
"This shop is very expensive. I think I'd better not choose this one. It's not suitable." Zhang Yongchang frowned, and his face looked a little bad.
"How expensive is it?" Zhuang Qingning was a little surprised.
I've never heard of any shops in this town being extremely expensive.
"Not only is it expensive, it's also too big. In short, it's just not suitable. It's a waste for you to rent such a big shop for your small business." Zhang Yongchang continued to persuade him earnestly.
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "I have other plans for the future, so I definitely won't waste this money."
In the future, she will get more and more formulas from a certain Wu, and she will be able to make more and more things. If she rents a small shop, she will soon be unable to store the things. It is better to rent a big shop, which will be enough for a period of time.
At least it would be enough for her until her business grew big enough, and she wouldn't have to look for new shops frequently or have to open new shops, which would be even more difficult to manage.
"When it comes to doing business, even if the facade looks good, it is still an expense. When doing business, you have to think about whether it is appropriate or not. You still have a long way to go in the future. You can't just spend lavishly just because you have made some money now."
"Save more money for emergencies, so that the business can last longer and the person can go further."
"Don't think my words are unpleasant to the ear. This is how it is, and the logic is the same. You have to remember it."
Seeing Zhang Yongchang's serious face when he spoke, and his eyes were like looking at a hopeless person, Zhuang Qingning knew that he was worried that she would become proud after making a little money, so she explained with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I really know what's going on in my heart."
"I wanted to rent this shop because I thought it would be useful in the future. It's not like I forgot my last name and only cared about my reputation just because I had a few copper coins in my hand."
Zhang Yongchang raised his eyebrows, and when he saw Zhuang Qingning nodded heavily with a very serious look, he knew that she had made up her mind. No matter how he tried to persuade her, it would be useless, so he just sighed.
"Uncle Zhang believes me, just wait and see what happens."
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "But speaking of this shop, Uncle Zhang, why is this shop being rented out? I've seen the sign saying it's for rent hanging on the front of this shop for quite some time, why hasn't it been rented out yet?"
If you think about it carefully, it seems that this shop has been like this since she came to this town to set up a stall. It has been quite some time. It is really strange that such a good location has not been rented out.
"This is what I want to tell you..."
Zhang Yongchang paused and said, "I didn't tell you about this shop before, and I didn't let you see it. I was worried that this shop was not good, so I didn't tell you about it."
"Not good?" Zhuang Qingning was also a little surprised: "What's wrong with it?"
From the outside, the shop is well built and has a nice facade, so it's hard to tell what's wrong with it.
“Unlucky!”
Zhang Yongchang said, "But don't be too scared. It's not that anyone has died in this shop. It's just that this shop is a bit spooky. I don't know if it's because of bad feng shui, but anyone who has rented this shop to do business has had a bad ending."
"It's not that the business is bad, but that the family has suffered. Take the shopkeeper Pei who rented this place as an antique shop. He hasn't had a single sale for several months. The shopkeeper Bai who rented this place as a cloth shop fell in this shop and broke his leg. Although he recovered later, he still has a limp when he walks."
"And there's Shopkeeper Song. He rented this place not long ago. He had just finished tidying up the shop and had set a date for opening, but he suddenly fell ill and couldn't do business anymore. And there's Shopkeeper Zhang..."
"Anyway, the people who rent this shop all have some troubles. Others say that this shop is unlucky and are unwilling to rent it to do business. However, there are some people who want to take advantage of the situation and rent it at a low price, but the owner of the shop refuses to lower the price at all and even says that there is absolutely no problem with his shop. Others say this just because they want to take advantage of the situation and rent the shop at a low price."
"After all this, the shop became famous in the town. People no longer even asked about it, and the shop became completely empty. You have only been setting up the stall in this town for a short time, so I haven't seen it for a long time. In fact, this shop has been empty for more than half a year."
"I didn't want you to rent this shop just now. The price is not cheap. I'm afraid you will become restless after making some money. The most important thing is that I'm worried that the feng shui of this shop is not good and it will affect your business."
"Although I don't really believe in these ghost stories, sometimes I have to believe in them. Anyone who runs a business has to take some things into consideration. It's not good to rent a house and cause trouble for yourself. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid I'll be upset and I won't be able to do business anymore."
"So I think you'd better not rent this shop."
Zhang Yongchang said: "It's not the best, it's just not worth renting at all."
Originally an orphan, he had finally made a living by selling tofu and was able to earn some money so that he could take care of himself and his sister. If his luck was affected by renting a shop and he lost money, that would be bad.
Zhang Yongchang really felt that there was no need to take this risk.
Wouldn't it be better to choose a shop nearby and do business in peace? "Is there such a thing?" Zhuang Qingning widened his eyes.
Things like Feng Shui are the most unpredictable things, whether in modern society or at this time. Most people would rather believe in it than not, and try to avoid things that may bring bad luck as much as possible.
However, Zhuang Qingning doesn't care about things like Feng Shui.
And Zhang Yongchang just said that this shop is notorious for its bad feng shui in the town. If that's the case...
[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the Believe in Science mission. The host needs to use actual actions to prove that the so-called bad feng shui of this shop is all fictitious. After completion, you will receive a generous reward! ]
