"Why don't you just leave the store affairs to Song Xiao? Why bother running there yourself?"
In a busy street in the northern city of Kyoto, in a carriage of moderate size and luxurious decoration, a young man in white lay lazily on the window frame, looking at the pedestrians walking by the roadside, and murmured complaints.
"I didn't ask you to come again." Tang Ji stretched out his hand and touched his nose. Kyoto is not as good as Huaizhou. Without the support of a strong force like the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce, he and Li Yu have not yet gained a foothold, and they are sure to take out such a large piece of cake in one go.
It would attract jealousy, so he planned to keep a low profile this time and rent or purchase a smaller shop first.
"I can't help it. We are good brothers. This time without Yue Shuhua, how much do you plan to share with me?" As he spoke, he had already retracted his head and stared at Tang Ji expectantly.
Tang Ji touched his chin and thought for a while, then replied: "Good brothers don't talk about money!"
Li Yu nodded slightly and held his shoulders: "I understand, I understand, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine, so you plan to put all the money in my treasury, right? Okay, I, the King
Agreed!"
Tang Ji couldn't wait to give him a fight, gritted his teeth and said: "Haha, brothers have to settle accounts clearly, why don't we settle it properly!"
"I don't care. If you live in my house and eat in my house, give me at least 40% of your score!" Li Yu crossed his arms and acted like a rogue.
But Tang Ji ignored him because the carriage had slowly stopped.
Soon, Song Xiao's voice came from outside the carriage: "Your Majesty, the tooth shop has arrived."
"I know!" Li Yu replied casually, and took Tang Ji out of the carriage.
As soon as Tang Jiqian stepped on the ground, he was surrounded by people swarming up.
"Sir, do you want to buy a maid, a horse, or rent a shop?"
"Get out of the way, you two gentlemen, don't pay attention to him. The maids here are all very pretty, and the other two are from the Western Regions. If you like them, the horses, these are all horses from Jiangbei."
, if you want to buy or rent a shop, then you should find a villain. The villain knows exactly which of the large and small shops in the city are ready for resale and which ones cannot be opened! "
"Young master, ignore him. His price is much more expensive. You should come to me. No matter what you want to buy, I won't let you endure hardship. Let's make money together if we have money!"
"..."
Yaren are similar to intermediaries or salesmen in later generations. They sit between buyers and sellers and match them to earn commissions. Therefore, how much they earn depends entirely on how many customers they can attract.
The two young men in front of me looked like they were wealthy children, so naturally they couldn't miss it. Each of them was trying their best to introduce their abilities.
But in Tang Ji's opinion, this was nothing more than torture for him, because if he continued like this, his eardrums would explode, so he quickly pointed at someone: "Just you!"
When the thin man standing in the middle saw that he had been chosen, he raised his hand and shook his handkerchief and said with a smile: "Young master is really discerning. You will not suffer any loss if you choose me."
The remaining people walked aside in despair, but quickly adjusted their expressions and locked their eyes on the street, waiting for the next customer to appear.
The thin man quickly bowed and invited Tang Ji and Li Yu into the building.
The scale of this dental shop is not large, and the decoration is very simple. There are a few small tables at the entrance with brewed tea on them.
The thin man walked to a small table, picked up the teapot and was about to pour water for Tang Ji and the two of them. However, he found that the teacups were a little dirty, so he pointed to the stairs not far away and said, "You two gentlemen, why don't you sit up there?"
sit?"
"No need." Tang Ji casually sat down at the table and said straight to the point: "I want to rent a shop in Dongshi. It's a little bigger. The location shouldn't be too remote. The rent is easy to negotiate."
The thin man nodded and took out a thin yellow-covered book from his chest. After some research, he smiled and said: "Sir, I have many shops that meet your conditions, and the prices are also surprising. If you want
Why don't I take you to see it?"
"Okay, let's go." Tang Ji stood up and walked out without leaving any ink.
Tang Ji didn't want to waste time on choosing a store. He originally planned to pick one that caught his eye, but he visited several stores in a row. Either the location was not good, the environment was too bad, and there was even a store with a lot of garbage accumulated in it.
, couldn't help but doubt the ability of this fan.
The thin man was sitting on the wooden board outside the carriage. He was staring at him and breaking out in cold sweat. If he couldn't choose a shop that the young man was satisfied with, his reputation would be ruined if he went back to Yaxing to say a few words. He quickly smiled.
He said: "Sir, the shop in front will definitely satisfy you."
"That's what you said just now!" Tang Ji snorted coldly and lowered the curtain.
Li Yu couldn't help but complain: "I just said it's good to let Song Xiao do it!"
From time to time, the carriage stopped again, and the thin man jumped down, pointed to the shop in front of him, and said excitedly: "This is it, you two gentlemen!"
Afterwards, Tang Ji got out of the carriage, looked around, and found that the flow of people was pretty good, so he casually said: "The location is not bad."
"Of course, just around the corner is Taiping Street, and next door is Qingning Lane, the busiest street in the East City. The location is absolutely incredible," the thin man chuckled.
Li Yu slowly stepped out of the carriage, looked up at the shop in front of him, and exclaimed: "Isn't this Huang Ji's pastry shop?"
"Hey, it seems that this young man has also eaten Huang Ji's pastries. This shop was only vacated five days ago. Shopkeeper Huang planned to take his family back to his hometown, so he asked the villain to sell it on his behalf." The thin man continued to explain.
Tang Ji stood by the street and took a look. The shop in front of him was about five or six feet long and four or five feet wide. It was two times bigger than the shop he saw before. He walked in and took a look around. The interior was very neat and clean.
, it can be described as spotless, and there is a small courtyard attached to the back, which overall makes people very satisfied.
After a long time, Tang Ji stood at the counter in the shop. Remembering what the thin man said before, he asked, "You said the owner of this shop wants to sell the shop?"
The thin man cupped his hands and replied: "Yes, yes, shopkeeper Huang said he would only sell and not rent, and he pressed harder. But don't worry, sir, the price of this shop is very cheap. If the villain hadn't been feeling unwell a few days ago,
I didn't go to the dental shop, this shop might have been sold long ago."
"Okay, let's make an offer!" Tang Ji said bluntly.
Seeing that the other party was so happy, the thin man said without writing: "The price is one thousand taels of silver."
"One thousand taels?" Tang Ji looked suspicious. Considering the store's location, floor space, overall environment, etc., even if it was rented, it would cost hundreds of taels a year. Why is the store so expensive?
Will the owner sell it so cheaply?
Never mind him!
You would be a fool not to take advantage of the bargain!
