Jiang Yi decisively approached the people in the shops she had her eye on and asked if they were interested in renting or selling them.
To be precise, Jiang Yi really wanted to buy these shops, not just rent them.
After all, if a rented shop becomes a thriving business, the landlord might get envious and raise the rent. And if someone sees your business doing well and wants to sabotage it, they will also approach the landlord.
Of course, if the other party really has no intention of selling, Jiang Yi will have no choice but to rent it. However, the breach of contract clause in the rental agreement needs to be carefully designed; she can't let herself end up benefiting someone else.
Jiang Yi is not a complete novice who knows nothing.
Having traversed several eras, the businesses under his control, and countless troubles he has encountered.
Fortunately, the owners of the shops that Jiang Yi had her eye on all had the intention to sell their properties.
Although their houses are storefronts, the problem is that the rent is meager, and the business isn't doing very well. If they could sell them, they could use the money to travel to southern cities and maybe make a fortune.
Now, everyone knows that the south is developing well; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's a land of opportunity.
After a brief discussion, Jiang Yi knew she needed to prepare the money.
The housing prices in Yancheng are several levels lower than those in the city center.
But all four shops are storefronts, two stories high, with the storefront on the ground floor and residences on the upper floor.
Therefore, on average, it costs around ten thousand yuan to acquire a house.
Jiang Yi has no intention of living there; her plan is to renovate both floors and use them for business purposes.
In this way, the house she bought for 10,000 yuan has doubled in operating area, making her an absolute tycoon.
Of course, after a few years, with the redevelopment of the county town, these four shops will become extremely profitable.
But Jiang Yi wasn't planning to speculate on real estate, so things that were several years or even more than a decade in the future were too far off for him. And by then, the compensation money from the demolition wouldn't really be much.
Admittedly, hoarding land now will definitely yield huge profits in a few years.
However, such exorbitant profits do not align with Jiang Yi's values.
Be a landlady?
That would require going to a first- or second-tier city, and Yancheng is... well, Jiang Yi didn't know what tier city Yancheng would be considered in the future, after all, she wasn't in this industry.
But no matter what, she had no interest in being a landlady.
After talking with the owner of the four shops, Jiang Yi went to the antique market again.
I wasn't planning on coming again, but I was short of money, so I had no choice but to come.
The antique market was still the same as before, not crowded, but there were always some people trying their luck.
Jiang Yi didn't make a big splash at the antique market yesterday, so she didn't receive much attention today.
However, as a repeat customer, Jiang Yi was still recognized by some sharp-eyed stall owners when she came today.
"Hey girl, don't just look and not buy!"
"You've come back twice now, so at least buy two items. We'll give you a discount!"
"Hey little sister, I've got some good stuff here, want to take a look?"
One stall owner after another greeted Jiang Yi, instantly making her a celebrity.
Jiang Yi simply acted as if she couldn't refuse, and would occasionally buy a small item from a stall.
As she walked and bought things, Jiang Yi bought more than ten items, spending almost all of her money.
After Jiang Yi walked through the antique market, the stall owners behind her, those who had sold their items, were all beaming with joy, feeling that they had finally caught a fat sheep today.
