As time went by, Jinxiu Street became a street with few people walking on it.
When Su Li arrived at Jinxiu Street, he was a little surprised. It was so deserted. Most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and no matter whether they were open or closed, there were transfer notices posted outside the doors.
Su Li didn't know how to do business, but he knew that in a month, a rich man from the west would buy a huge restaurant here and convert it into a dance hall. Of course, this would not be a dance hall that only serves men, women, old and young, but a dance hall suitable for viewing by everyone.
The dance hall not only has dancing, but also various fresh and interesting operas. In short, it is very trendy and is the most special dance hall in the history of the Great Jin State.
For a time, it not only attracted men from all over the capital, but also attracted countless ladies.
After that, the whole commercial street miraculously became prosperous. In less than two months, the shops on this street, which were despised by everyone and were eager to sell and sublet, became popular spots where every inch of land was worth a lot of money and everyone was scrambling to rent and buy.
In just a few months, the entire Jinxiu Street became a street even more bustling and prosperous than Changming Street, achieving true prosperity.
Of course, Su Li was not here to open a shop. She was not good at business and was not very interested in it.
However, in her previous life in the modern world, she was a landlady who had several houses for rent. She was very familiar with renting houses and shops, so she planned to buy some shops on this street and continue to be a leisurely landlady who only collected shop rent every month.
Jinxiu Street is not a straight street. It is a street in the shape of a "7" formed by two streets, the long street and the short street.
The dance hall opened by the richest man in the west is right at the intersection of the two streets, which is equivalent to the center of Jinxiu Street.
Su Li got off the carriage at the intersection of Changjie Street and Jinxiu Street. She looked around slowly and saw that some shops had resale notices and some had sublease notices posted in front of their doors.
She went straight into the clothing shop that she wanted to sell. The poster stated that the owner of the shop was the owner of the shop. If she wanted to buy the shop, she could just go straight into the shop.
"Sir, would you like to buy some clothes? Just take a look." The shop owner was a middle-aged woman with a smile on her face. This was the first customer who came in today, making her quiet shop feel a bit lively.
Su Li asked directly: "Are you the boss?"
"I am," the woman knew immediately that he was here to buy a shop, "but do you want to buy a shop?"
"Exactly."
"Then you sit here and wait for a while. I'll go next door to call my husband."
After Su Li responded, the woman hurried out the door.
After a while, the woman came back with a middle-aged man, who was her husband, Li Dongjia.
After the two briefly introduced themselves, they got straight to the point.
"Madam Su, are you buying just this one?" asked Mr. Li.
"Are all the dozen or so shops here yours?" She had just checked. The contact person on the sale posters posted on the doors of the dozen or so shops next door that were not open was the owner of the Jia Clothing Shop, that is, Mr. Li.
"Yes."
"How much is this shop? If possible, I plan to take it all."
I want them all!
Mr. Li and his wife looked at each other. Could the shop finally be sold?
Are they trying to drive down the price again? If they do, they'd rather starve to death than sell.
"Haha, Madam Su, I have a total of fifteen shops connected here. All fifteen shops are the same size. I charge 550 for each one."
Five hundred and five...
It’s really not cheap.
These shops are not big and have no backyard, just a single storefront.
In the town of Taohua Village, the shop she bought for three hundred yuan was in a remote area, but it had a backyard.
It is also large, with a total area much larger than these shops.
Of course, since it is a remote area, the prices must be low. Land in Beijing is indeed very expensive. She has also experienced what was said in her previous life: being able to buy a house in third- and fourth-tier cities but only a toilet in first-tier cities.
However, although this is the capital, this street is not prosperous, and the prices of shops are naturally not comparable to those in the Changming Street area.
The price offered by Mr. Li is not cheap given the current situation, and is even a little expensive.
Seeing Su Li frown, Madam Li quietly tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes and gave him a look. Boss Li then said, "Madam Su, what do you think? As for the price, if you are not satisfied, we can negotiate."
"It's a bit expensive..." Su Li told the truth.
"Then how much do you think is appropriate? I can think about it."
"five hundred."
"Five hundred and one."
"Deal!" Su Li said directly.
"Ah?" Mr. and Mrs. Li didn't expect Su Li to agree so readily, and they were a little confused for a moment.
In fact, five hundred and one was his bottom price. He offered five hundred and fifty just to leave room for negotiation. He didn't expect that Madam Su would agree so quickly. The price of five hundred and one was actually considered high considering the current situation of these shops.
He asked again, "I wonder what business Madam Su is planning to do after buying these shops?"
Are you planning to do some business that will make a lot of money?
Su Li knew what he was thinking. He was just afraid that she would buy his shop and start her own business again.
She told the truth: "I don't do business, I just buy and rent it out."
"Oh..." Mr. Li thought to himself, it seems that Madam Su doesn't know much about this place. Business here is bad and the shop can't be rented out at all. If it could be rented out, why would he be so poor that he would have to sell the shop?
Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to tell her all this. He just wanted to sell these unprofitable shops and go back to his hometown.
"Then shall we sign the contract now?" Boss Li asked hurriedly, fearing that Su Li would go back on his word.
"good……"
There were fifteen shops, each costing 510 yuan, and Su Li spent a total of 7,650 yuan to buy them.
After leaving the garment shop, she bought more than a dozen shops of the same size at the same price.
For some shops that were not open or were sublet, she simply took down the posters so that she could contact the shop owners to discuss sales matters.
Then we went to the shop across the street.
The shops across the street were different from the small shop she had just bought. The shops on this side were all large shops with spacious storefronts and second and third floors. The floor area alone was nearly ten times that of the small shop opposite. With the second and third floors included, the area was twenty to thirty times larger.
This type of shop is generally suitable for opening inns, restaurants, or large clothing stores.
The owner of the big shop was a wealthy family in the capital. He owned four big shops here. Su Li bought them all and also bought four big shops next door that belonged to different owners.
She spent tens of thousands of dollars on eight big shops. Thinking that these would become prosperous shops in the future and the rent would flow into her pocket, Su Li didn't even blink when she took out the money.
Of the last three large shops, two were closed. Su Li entered an open shop. When he entered, there was only a dozing servant inside.
