When she was doing business in the town, she had no money, so she had to start by setting up a street vendor.

Now, counting the medical fees from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and the household expenses that Wei Ting asked Xiao Hei to send, she has a small amount of start-up capital and should be able to rent a decent shop in the capital.

Based on their needs, Li Baoren selected five shops, including two on Zhuangyuan Street, one large and one small.

The small one was originally a tavern, but the owner did not manage it well and is now urgently transferring it.

The larger one is a time-honored drug store that has been open for more than ten years. The original business was really good, but just last year, Renxintang opened next door, and a lot of their business was taken away.

Last month, people were almost killed. Thanks to Renxintang’s timely rescue, otherwise a life would have been lost.

"It can't be driven anymore," Li Baoren said.

The first place they looked at was this drug store.

The drug store has a total of two floors. The first floor is the lobby and pharmacy, and the second floor is the accounting room and wing room. It also has a spacious backyard and two transparent back rooms from the north to the south.

"This is okay..." Fu Langzhong said.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

When she first came in, she felt very satisfied.

The walls and floors are very clean, the lighting is excellent, the medicine cabinets are ready-made, and the functionality of the wing can be modified, but overall there is almost no need to make any major changes, and you can start the business immediately after renting it.

The most important thing is that it is close to Lihua Lane.

"Is this the closest one?" Su Xiaoxiao asked Li Baoren.

Li Baoren said: "Yes, there is also a very close shop on Changliu Street, which is only one mile longer than here. It was originally used as a wine cellar, but because it was not big enough, I rented a shop in Dongcheng. The old shop is

It won’t open.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "How does the size compare with this shop?"

Li Baoren said: "The cellar of the wine cellar is larger. There is a large house on the ground. The first floor is similar to a medicine shop, except that the back room is missing."

Su Xiaoxin had a calculation in mind: "How much does this shop cost?"

Li Baoren took out the brochure, flipped through it, and asked: "Do you... want to rent or buy?"

Su Xiaoxiao groaned: "Does this shop also sell it?"

Li Baoren smiled and said: "What they are selling is their own house. If you want to buy it, now is a good time. With such a big mistake, the market here is not good, and the price can go down further."

One press."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Just tell me how much it is."

Li Baoren stretched out his hand and made an eight sign.

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Eight hundred taels?"

The three little ones were running around in the lobby.

Xiaohu imitated: "Eight hundred taels! Eight hundred taels!"

Li Baoren shook his head.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked: "It can't be eighty, right?"

Li Baoren: How dare you think about it...

Li Baoren coughed lightly: "Eight thousand."

Click!

Lieutenant General Fu opened the medicine cabinet and pushed it back violently.

He turned around and said to Li Baoren: "What kind of shop costs eight thousand taels? It's too expensive! It's too expensive! If you don't want to buy it, don't buy it!"

Li Baoren smiled and said: "You really want it, the price can be negotiated."

"What's the rent like?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Ah, do you really not want to buy it?

Li Baoren was stunned for a moment, then replied: "The rent is one hundred taels per month, and you have to deposit two and pay three."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "One hundred taels is not cheap. Do other shops also have this price?"

Li Baoren said: "The shops on Zhuangyuan Street are about the same price. The ones on Changliu Street are twenty or thirty taels cheaper, but the location is not as good and they are not as big."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him: "Are you trying to say that you get what you pay for?"

Li Baoren smiled: "That's the truth."

Doctor Fu came over, pulled Su Xiaoxiao aside, and whispered: "I think it's too expensive. This shop has been in trouble and it's still asking for such a high price. How much will it cost if there's no trouble? How about we go to another store to have a look?

Let’s see. If it doesn’t work, let’s change the guarantor.”

Su Xiaoxiao felt that Li Bao was not a bad person and had the shrewdness of a businessman, so he was not a treacherous person. The price he quoted was not much different from the market prices she had learned in the past few days.

"Okay, let's go look elsewhere."

Su Xiaoxiao agreed and said to the three little ones, "Big tiger, two tigers and little tiger, let's go."

The group of people left the shop, and Li Baoren locked the door.

Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced at Renxintang next door: "Is this the medical clinic with booming business?"

"That's right." Li Baoren put away the key, "Renxintang has opened several stores in the capital. The earliest one has been open for thirty years, so it can be considered a time-honored brand."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

The group of people walked to another shop on Zhuangyuan Street.

Regardless of the size or layout of the tavern, Su Xiaoxiao could not be satisfied.

"Can you still walk?" Su Xiaoxiao asked the three little ones.

The three little ones nodded: "You can walk!"

So the group went to Changliu Street again.

They first looked at the wine cellar. As soon as they opened the door, the smell of strong liquor hit their nostrils.

Xiaohu exaggeratedly covered his nose: "It smells so bad!"

Erhu stuck out his tongue: "I'm going to faint!"

Li Baoren was amused by the children.

He was not worried that the children's reaction would affect today's business, because the wine cellar was not suitable at all, and he bet that the girl would not choose it.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Doctor Fu: "What do you think?"

Doctor Fu cleared his throat: "Ahem, let's go see the next one."

The remaining two shops are still in business, one sells tea and the other sells fabrics. The price is indeed cheaper than the drug store, but it is a bit far from home. In addition, the layout is small, it is not transparent from north to south, and the lighting is not good.

Su Xiaoxiao asked Dr. Fu: "Which shop is your favorite?"

Doctor Fu glanced not far away, laughed and teased the three little Li Baoren, and whispered: "The prices in the tea shop are the most suitable."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Leave aside the price."

Dr. Fu: Are you all so arrogant now?

"The first room."

He told it truthfully.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, just the first one."

No, why is that just fine?

This, is this decided?

The rent is one hundred taels per month!

How many patients do we have to see?

Dr. Fu practices medicine in the town and treats many poor people. He often cannot make ends meet. Let alone one hundred taels. If he can earn seven or eight taels a month, he is already an Amitabha.

In his opinion, even if the medical fees and medicine fees in the capital were higher than those in the town, he still wouldn't be able to earn a hundred taels.

"Isn't this... bad? There is a medical clinic next door... Are we trying to steal business?"

"When Renxintang went to open a medical clinic, didn't he also steal the business of the drug store?"

Mr. Fu was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and said to Li Baoren: "You make an appointment with the owner of the drug store and we can negotiate a price."

…

Su Xiaoxiao has a resolute and resolute temper. He can solve the problem today and never delay it until tomorrow.

After negotiating the price with the owner of the drug store for an hour, the store was finally purchased for 6,000 taels.

She took 60% of the two thousand taels Su Mo gave her for the consultation, and the other 40% was given to Doctor Fu, plus the three thousand taels given by Wei Ting, and the one thousand taels Su Yuniang gave her before leaving.
