The shop was open, but no customers came to the door. The original expectations were gradually disappointed, and what followed was worries about life.
After finally persevering through the catastrophe, and seeing things getting better, is it possible that I will be trapped in money again?
He knew that some people were already complaining about the court, but he was very sober.
There was no harvest at all in the previous year, and we still have to wait until the next autumn harvest. There is not much food in the imperial granary. If it is really distributed for free, it will not last long, and the people will develop a lazy temper.
Now that food is released, but you need money to buy it, people will naturally start to struggle.
Just like him, it's just...he has some bad luck.
Cloth Village is very popular in good times. After all, everything you wear is the best, especially in Shangjing.
But right now... I don’t have enough food in my stomach, so who has the heart to think about making clothes?
"My shop is passed down from our ancestors."
What the shopkeeper said was very helpless, but Song Chen probably understood what he meant, so he didn't answer immediately and waited for him to continue.
"The girl wants to buy a shop now. She must be from a well-off family. Unlike us who are still struggling. I still have a family to support. If the girl can give me something to do in whatever business she does in the future, I can
Selling a shop."
This can be considered a request of his.
This shop was originally kept for the family's livelihood. Now, although he could get a large sum of money at one time by selling it, he also knew that he couldn't just sit back and have nothing.
The nature of his request surprised Song Chen. She originally thought he wanted to take the opportunity to ask for a price, but she didn't expect this.
Song Chen smiled and said, "I have already thought about how to keep the price down, but what the shopkeeper said made me a little embarrassed."
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, Song Chen continued, "The shopkeeper's request is not too much. No matter what business I do in the future, I will need manpower. As a foreigner, I naturally have no way to find suitable people.
The shopkeeper was willing to help me, which made me feel a lot more relaxed."
Song Chen had a good impression of this man and believed in his own vision of people.
So it was very comfortable to talk, and I gave the shopkeeper a thumbs up, which made the other person feel a lot more comfortable listening.
After all, there is no other way to live by selling your ancestral property, and it would be embarrassing to talk about it.
But from what Song Chen said, he didn't feel inferior at all.
This should be regarded as a kind of fate.
"It is definitely impossible to buy and sell according to the market price now. If the girl really wants it, then give her 10,000."
His shop is not big, thirteen thousand taels would have been enough in the past, but he is not that greedy and knows what the current situation is.
Ten thousand yuan to buy a shop in Shangjing is indeed a very good price, but there is no need to negotiate the price.
"This price is very suitable. Does the shopkeeper want a check or cash?"
Although I feel that the shopkeeper's price concession is a bit embarrassing, she is a businesswoman, and the most important thing in doing business is to put profits first.
It's not a bad idea not to take advantage of her.
The shop was sold for ten thousand taels, and it would be fake if he didn't feel bad. Especially Song Chen's straightforward attitude made the shopkeeper feel that he had suffered a loss.
But now that he has said it, he can't raise the price any more unless he regrets not selling it.
Fortunately, he remembered the fate that the girl mentioned before, and saw that this girl was quite experienced in doing business. If he worked under her in the future, it would be a long-term solution.
Thinking about it this way, the three thousand taels don't seem so distressing anymore.
He knew that even if he took the extra three thousand taels today, he might not be able to hold on for long. He knew what his family was like.
This is also the reason why although he has made income over the years, he has not saved any money.
Although the people in their family are not bad, they are people who really have as much money as they can spend. Compared with a job that always has income, a loss of three thousand taels is still a gain.
"One thousand in cash and nine thousand in silver notes. The bank notes must be exchanged."
You can't have too much cash, otherwise it will be difficult to hide, so banknotes are more convenient. Anyway, I can continue to work here in the future, and it will be a problem if I don't tell my family about the cashing out of this shop.
When Song Chen heard what he said, Weiwei could think of something, but she was not interested.
"I originally went out today just to do some inspection, but I didn't expect to be able to find a shop so smoothly. I don't have enough cash on me, so I will bring it with me when I go to apply for the deed tomorrow."
"Then we'll wait for you, girl."
Song Chen fell in love with this shop, but he was not worried about the long nights and dreams. The matter was settled today, and if he regretted it tomorrow, it would only be inappropriate. After all, there were so many shops in the capital, and this one was not missing.
As everyone knows, the person who is worried about the long nights and dreams is actually the shopkeeper.
The original reluctance to part with the shop had been replaced by the ten thousand taels of silver that he was about to get. Now he felt that he had so much silver, but he hadn't gotten it yet, and he felt a little uneasy.
But there is no other way at the moment, after all, the money is in the hands of others.
Coming out of the shop, Song Chen did not stop. Naturally, the more shops like this, the better.
"I don't know if they have found a suitable one there."
Song Chen turned his head and glanced at another street, which was where Cang Liu and his men had gone before.
"Girl, please don't worry yet. Cangliu and the others will definitely not be so fast. Let's go back and wait."
Song Chen shook his head, "Look again, there is nothing to do when we go back."
Qiu An:……
There was nothing to do when she went back... She felt that their girl simply hadn't bought enough.
However, when her master spoke, she would not say anything more, obeyed unconditionally, and continued to follow Song Chen on the street.
Although there were not many people on the street, the news spread very quickly. Song Chen was looking for a shop here, Cang Liu was looking for a shop there, and the shopkeepers of many shops were waiting for the news.
The owners of some shops really want to sell them, but not every shop is the same as the previous cloth store. The shopkeeper himself is the owner.
Even if you like other shops, the waiting time will be relatively long.
The shopkeeper has to report it to the boss first, and the boss has to think about it, and then the two parties have to talk about the price again. These are all a waste of time.
But since Song Chen was determined to own a shop, he could still afford to wait for this little time.
But they didn't have such good luck next time, and no one else sold them to the few shops they visited.
