"You only heard about a dozen officials, but what I heard was dozens of officials poisoned by briquettes!" Another young man heard this and immediately said not to be outdone.
From the mouths of these teenagers, Hu Changan finally knew what happened.
It turns out that the rumor about briquettes was leaked!
When Hu Changan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little headache.
Rumors are the most troublesome thing.
It is easy to spread rumors, but it is even more difficult to clarify them.
Hu Changan thought for a moment and finally decided to purchase a storytelling library.
Hu Changan wants to use the Storytelling Club to gain a lot of popularity and then clear up the rumors in one fell swoop!
Storytelling halls are teahouses, where people can drink tea and listen to books to relieve their boredom.
This is also one of the few pastime activities of ancient people.
In the Ming Dynasty, teahouses developed further than in the Song Dynasty.
Whether in the city or in the countryside, teahouses can be seen everywhere.
In Yingtian City, there is naturally no shortage of teahouses.
The total number of large and small teahouses in Yingtian City is probably at least a hundred.
Hu Changan wanted to buy a ready-made teahouse first, and then use the novel resources at hand to attract customers.
After Hu Changan built the teahouse into the teahouse with the largest traffic in Yingtian City, he would naturally be able to bring in private goods, reverse the rumors, and promote briquettes among the people.
And even if they don't promote briquettes, this teahouse can make a lot of money a month.
All in all, this will be a profitable business.
So after a few days of inspection, Hu Changan came to a teahouse in Yingtian City.
This teahouse is called Wang's Teahouse.
Although the teahouse is located in the bustling area of Yingtian City, the business of this teahouse is not very good.
Although it was the peak of crowds in the afternoon, there were still not many people in Wang's Teahouse.
There were only a few individual tourists sitting there drinking tea.
On the stage, an old and dim-eyed storyteller was babbling about something unknown.
After explaining his purpose to the shopkeeper, Hu Changan quickly met the owner of Wang's Teahouse.
The owner was a slightly balding middle-aged man with a sad face.
Looking at Hu Changan and his party, the boss seemed to see a group of people who were taken advantage of, with eyes full of calculating light.
Notices for buying a teahouse have been posted for a long time, but every time buyers see the bleak business of Wang's Teahouse, they shake their heads and leave.
From the way they dress and talk, this group of people looks like they are rich.
He must catch this wave of fat sheep!
After pouring a cup of tea for Hu Changan, the owner began to praise his teahouse endlessly.
"Everyone, look at how well-decorated my teahouse is. All kinds of furnishings are available."
"Not only that, the location of my teahouse is also first-class."
"I'm afraid I'm the only one to open a teahouse in such a busy place."
"You bought my teahouse. You will never suffer a loss or be fooled."
Hearing this, Hu Changan also smiled slightly and said: "In that case, how much do you think your teahouse will be sold for?"
Hu Changan has already conducted sufficient investigations before.
The reason why this teahouse cannot attract customers is simply that the facilities are outdated and the content is not exciting.
Needless to say, the facilities are outdated.
Hu Changan saw that the decoration of this house was still in the old style from more than ten years ago.
Not only that, the corners of this teahouse are also covered in dust, and it looks like they haven’t been cleaned for many years.
It's easy to change something like this, it's nothing more than simply changing the decoration.
As for the problem that the story is not exciting, it is even simpler.
The various popular novels in the system are not just decorations. Taking out just one of them can shock these ancients for a whole year.
Hu Changan has no worries that no one will come to listen to the book.
What Hu Changan really likes is the geographical location of this teahouse.
This teahouse is located in the most prosperous center of Yingtian City, with convenient transportation and an endless stream of people coming and going.
If the marketing is done well, it will definitely attract many people.
Therefore, as long as Hu Changan makes a little renovation, this teahouse can regain its vitality.
Hu Changan didn't care about the boss's rhetoric. Hu Changan just wanted to buy this teahouse as quickly as possible and then renovate it.
When the owner saw that Hu Changan really wanted to buy this teahouse, he burst into tears.
After so many years, this lousy teahouse is finally in the hands of a successor!
He's had enough of this mess!
But in the end, he still wanted to make a little profit.
In the eyes of his boss, Hu Changan is definitely a stupid young man from a rich family who has a lot of money and is ignorant of worldly affairs.
This kind of person will simply not be able to forgive his own conscience if his boss doesn't cheat him.
The owner rolled his eyes and said to Hu Chang'an with a smile: "Brother, I think you are quite popular, but after all, this teahouse is my life's work, and I really can't bear to sell it hastily and cheaply."
"I think... how about 1,000 taels of silver?"
"1,000 taels of silver, pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand."
"I not only give you this teahouse, but also the boy and the storyteller in the teahouse."
Hearing this, Hu Changan also laughed completely angrily: "Why, do you really think I am a fool who doesn't understand the market?"
"Even for the most popular teahouse in Yingtian City, the transfer fee is probably only 800 taels of silver at most, let alone a poorly run teahouse like yours?"
"Although your teahouse is in a good location, the business is not good at all!"
"How much money can we make with just such a small number of people at noon?"
"I don't want to be in a losing business!"
Hearing this, the boss was also shocked.
Unexpectedly, this young master looks innocent, but he is actually an old man!
This accurate quotation is definitely someone who has been immersed in the shopping mall for many years!
When the boss heard this, he quickly changed his face and said to Hu Changan with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, brother, I was just a mouthful, a mouthful!"
"I see what you mean by offering 500 taels of silver?"
"You will definitely not lose money if you buy my teahouse!"
"Anyway, the location of this teahouse is still very good. With a little renovation, the revenue of this teahouse can definitely double."
"Brother, isn't it about to be transferred, so I'm neglecting the management?"
When Hu Changan heard this, he also frowned and said dissatisfied: "You talk so empty-handedly about it, why don't I believe it?"
"If it's so easy to run, why did you sell this teahouse to me?"
"Isn't it good for you to run your own business?"
Hu Changan is not that kind of gullible person, and he will not be deceived by mere rhetoric.
Although 500 taels of silver has basically reached Hu Changan's psychological price, Hu Changan still wants to haggle a little more.
