After getting on the bus, Luo Qiao squeezed to the back and found a place to stand. She waved to Lu Yichen outside the bus. When the bus drove out of the platform and passed the intersection, Luo Qiao inadvertently saw three hands committing a crime in front of her.
With a thought, he took out a small stone from the space and held it in his hand. After the man succeeded, he hit him. There was a scream of "Ah", which scared the people in the car. The people around the thief suddenly made room.
Someone happened to see the wallet on the ground: "Whose wallet fell?"
What is there to be confused about now? This is a case of a thief being caught red-handed by a master. The person who lost the wallet said to the people in the car: "I don't know which master helped me. I would like to thank you here."
The people in the car looked at each other, trying to guess who did it, and were full of admiration.
With everyone's consent, the driver took the person directly to the nearest police station.
When Luo Qiao arrived at the school, someone stopped her and said, "Teacher Luo, the principal wants to see you."
Luo Qiao followed the person to the principal's office. The person knocked on the door and went in: "Principal, Teacher Luo is here."
The principal looked at Luo Qiao with a smile: "Sit, sit, sit."
Luo Qiao found a place to sit down and said, "Principal, what do you want to talk to me about?"
The principal stood up and personally poured Luo Qiao a glass of water: "Luo Qiao, I do have something I want to ask you for help with."
Luo Qiao looked up at the principal: "What's the matter?"
The principal returned to his seat and said, "It's like this. I have an old friend who has a leg problem. The hospital diagnosed it as rheumatism. He has been to the hospital many times for this disease and tried folk remedies, but it keeps coming back. This year it's even worse and he can't even work in the fields. We lost contact due to special reasons before and only got in touch not long ago.
He has been treated by Western doctors for a long time, but to no avail. Your acupuncture is even better than your master's. I was wondering if you could take a look at him, at least to relieve some of the pain."
Luo Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Principal, the New Year is coming soon. I wonder where this patient is? If he were in Beijing, I could help him. But rheumatism is not something that can be cured in a day or two. Besides, I have to see the patient first to see his condition.
Also, I will be going abroad after the Chinese New Year, so I don’t have much time, so I have to watch it as soon as possible.”
The principal quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll have my son pick them up today. They'll probably arrive in Beijing tomorrow. Let's make an appointment for the day after tomorrow. Is that convenient for you?"
Luo Qiao stood up and said, "Okay, let's meet in the fifth practice room at noon the day after tomorrow. There are tools for inspection there."
After leaving the principal's office, Luo Qiao hurried back to the office to get the lesson plan, as the first class of the day was hers.
After class in the morning, she took a bus directly to the place Ji Lin mentioned. Ji Lin was already waiting there.
Seeing Luo Qiao coming over, he raised his hand and greeted her: "Qiaoqiao, here, here."
Luo Qiao came over, and Ji Lin led the group inside. After a few steps, they arrived at a courtyard: "This courtyard is not small, not far from the street. The shops facing the street were also part of the courtyard, but were later divided out.
There were people living in this yard before, and it was well protected, but now they don’t want to rent it, but want to sell it. I heard that his family opened a factory and now needs funds to turn around. "
Luo Qiao walked around the yard. The yard was indeed not small, and it was also quiet in a bustling area. There were more than a dozen main rooms alone, and the backyard was really big. She could consider building more when the time came.
This yard is well tidy and can be opened for business after a few minor renovations.
Luo Qiao was quite satisfied with the house: "How much does this house cost?"
At this time, a couple next to them came over and said, "To be honest, we are in urgent need of funds. Otherwise, we can't sell the house. The price we mentioned before is also the actual price. We don't accept bargaining."
Luo Qiao thought about it and realized that the house price was indeed not low. The area of the yard was not small, but the house only had the ten main rooms in the front and three side rooms. Thinking of the house prices in the future, Luo Qiao said, "I heard that the six shops in the front are also yours?"
The couple across the street was stunned: "Yes, but we don't plan to sell the shop."
Luo Qiao said, "This price is not low, but I want the three shops in front. Of course, the price is different. If you agree, we can go through the formalities and pay the money tomorrow."
The couple looked at each other and walked aside to discuss: "Why don't we give them three shops and we keep three. After all, the 50,000 yuan invested in the factory is not a lot of money. If you add the money from these three shops, you can let go and do a great job."
"Well, this is the only way. These days, no one who comes to see the house doesn't bargain. If the factory wasn't in urgent need of money, I really wouldn't want to sell it."
"I know you're reluctant, but there's nothing you can do about it. Time waits for no one. Let's go over and negotiate the price of the shop."
The couple came over after discussing it, and the man spoke first: "I can sell you three more shops, but the price is 10,000 each, no negotiation."
Luo Qiao nodded: "If, I mean if, you want to sell the remaining three shops, you must give us priority."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
After hearing what Luo Qiao said, the man was a little unhappy, but still nodded.
We agreed to go together to transfer the house tomorrow morning, and then we went our separate ways.
Ji Lin walked out of the yard: "Luo Qiao, why do you still want the shop in front?"
Luo Qiao looked back at the yard and said, "Let's take back one room and make it a storefront. This will make it easier to attract customers and we can also put some products in front for display."
Ji Lin understood: "Okay, you are smart."
Luo Qiao checked the time and said, "Let's go find a place to eat first, and then we'll go check out another house."
Ji Lin was puzzled: "Qiaoqiao, we have already decided on a place, why do we need to go look for another one?"
Luo Qiao smiled: "If it's suitable, let's decide on it first. It's not bad even as an investment. What's more, if things go well here, we will inevitably open a branch in the future."
Ji Lin was a little worried: "Qiaoqiao, this requires a lot of money, and I don't have much money to invest right now."
Luo Qiao patted Ji Lin on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go eat first. We can discuss this in detail after we decide on a house."
Luo Qiao had already made up his mind that the house would be his, so that even if something happened in the future, it would be easy to divide it. Then they could open a store together and calculate the shares based on the investment ratio of the store. Even if he didn't manage it himself, the shares could be converted into shares for Ji Lin.
This is what I have always thought. I will not directly manage the business, but only invest and give some suggestions from time to time. Anyway, I now have a professional team to be responsible for the connection, so it is good to be a hands-off boss.
Ji Lin smiled a little embarrassedly: "Thank you Qiaoqiao, for investing so much money in me. Don't worry, I will do my best."
