Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 199
Zhu Jintang looked at her for a while, then nodded and said: "Understood."

He really did what he said, and within three days, he chose a place with an excellent location for Shen Yuechen.

Yong'an Avenue leads directly to the West City Gate. It is a very bustling street with many shops on both sides, all kinds of food, clothing, housing and transportation are available, and there are plenty of tourists coming and going.

Zhu Jintang heard from a friend that the Double Happiness Inn on Yong'an Street was willing to exchange money, so he secretly asked someone to say hello.

Such a good place, even if Shen Yuechen didn't use it in the end, he would not give it up to others.

Zhu Jintang asked Shen Yuechen to take the opportunity of going out to go over and have a look, and let her see if it suits her.

Shen Yuechen sat in the carriage, raised the curtain, and what came into view was the street with people coming and going.

After a while, Zhu Shun, the servant who accompanied him, spread the word: "Young Mistress, the Double Happiness Inn has arrived."

Shen Yuechen adjusted her dress and walked out of the carriage with Chunming's hand. Looking up, she saw a gorgeously decorated three-story gatehouse standing in front of her eyes. On the big plaque were written four beautiful and powerful characters, Double Happiness Inn.

At this time, it was noon, but there were still people coming and going in front of the store, which was very lively.

Shen Yuechen was slightly surprised.She thought that since the store was going to be sold, the business must not be booming, but she didn't expect it to be so lively here.

As soon as her carriage arrived, a waiter went in to tell her. After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties came out with a smile on his face.This person is the owner of the Double Happiness Inn. His surname is Guan.

Fourth Master Guan got the news from the Zhu family early on, saying that the young lady of the Zhu family was coming to see the store, so he had been waiting for a long time and did not dare to neglect the distinguished guests.

Zhu Jintang and Guan Siye were just casual acquaintances, and they often greeted each other and exchanged a few pleasantries. This time when he heard about the sale of his shop, Zhu Jintang immediately expressed his interest.

After Mr. Guan got the news, he was naturally willing to be an adult. First, doing business with the Zhu family was a very safe thing. Second, he also took the opportunity to make friends with Zhu Jintang and have more friendship.

Guan Siye greeted Shen Yuechen in person, and attracted the guests who were dining and drinking on the first floor of the inn to look sideways.

Shen Yuechen was dressed in an elegant and decent woman's attire, not ostentatious or charming, she looked very easy-going and ordinary.

However, no matter how low-key she is, she will inevitably be judged by the guests around her.

Shen Yuechen turned a deaf ear to everyone's whispers, and just looked at the layout of the store on his own.

The inn has three floors, the first floor is the lobby, the second floor is private rooms and ordinary rooms, and the third floor is Tianzihao's first-class rooms.

Although it is an inn, it is decorated very luxuriously.

After Shen Yuechen sized him up a bit, he could guess that the master Guan Siye in front of him should be a very tasteful person.

Fourth Master Guan saw that she was young, only about fifteen or six years old, of medium height, with an exquisite figure, a little thin, with a pair of ink-like eyes on her beautiful oval face, clear and bright, but sharp and penetrating. With a shrewdness that doesn't match her age, she seems to be a very thoughtful person.

Fourth Master Guan withdrew his gaze, and said in a more polite tone: "Young Mistress came to our store in person, and I welcome you very much. Someone has already prepared tea and snacks. Please come upstairs with me, Madam, to sit down for a while and rest your feet."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuechen bowed hurriedly and said, "It's time to close the boss. You are the elder, and I am the junior. I am grateful to you for welcoming me personally."

Fourth Master Guan cupped his hands hurriedly and said: "Young Mistress is too polite, you are a distinguished guest, so I naturally want to treat you with courtesy and hospitality."

Shen Yuechen is not only the daughter-in-law of Zhu's parents, but also the daughter of an official family, her status is self-evident.

Fourth Master Guan had a friendly face, and let Shen Yuechen to the private room on the second floor. After seeing her take a seat, he slowly sat down opposite her, and then gave the waiter outside the curtain a wink, signaling them to hurry up and get some new tea. Bring it out.

Fourth Master Guan said with a smile: "I have asked someone to prepare some new tea, please ask grandma to try something new."

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly, and said calmly and calmly: "Thank you, Boss Guan."

Fourth Master Guan followed up and asked: "Why didn't Eldest Young Master come with sister-in-law today?" He originally thought that the husband and wife would come together, but Shen Yuechen was the only one who came.After all, according to her age and status, it is still not suitable for her to come out and show her face.

Shen Yuechen didn't notice Fourth Master Guan's thoughts, she just looked around and said, "Boss Guan, please forgive me for asking, your store has a superior location and a stable source of customers. Do you want to sell it?"

Fourth Master Guan said indifferently: "To tell you the truth, this inn has been opened by Guan for almost ten years, and because of this inn, I have met many friends and made a lot of money. However, now my hometown My parents are old, and they are looking forward to my return, so I can only reluctantly give up."

After hearing this, Shen Yuechen's heart moved, and he said: "Boss Guan's filial piety is really touching."

While talking, hot new tea was served.

It was inconvenient for Fourth Master Guan to pour the tea and water for Shen Yuechen himself, so he only asked Chun Ming who accompanied her to do it for him.

With slender hands, Chun Mingsu poured two cups of tea slowly, one for Fourth Master Guan and one for Shen Yuechen.

Shen Yuechen smelled the fragrance first, then took a sip, and praised: "Longjing before the rain, it is really refreshing."

Fourth Master Guan said indifferently: "Grandma is so powerful, you can tell when you taste it."

Shen Yuechen took another sip of tea, and then cut straight to the point: "Boss Guan is a busy person, so I won't waste your time. I like your store very much, and I want to sell it, but I don't know the price. ?”

Seeing that she was talking about business, Fourth Master Guan immediately put down his teacup and said, "Grandma is really happy. Since you have spoken, I, Guan, will give you the truth. When I bought this store, it cost me a lot of money." A total of 500 taels. Now, although this store is a bit old, but the location is just right, so Guan doesn’t want to sell it at a low price.” He paused deliberately when he said this, and only said: “Human, as long as After staying in one place for a long time, it is inevitable that feelings will develop. I am reluctant to throw away every brick and tile. To be honest, money is second, and Guan just wants to find a safe new owner for this place."

What he said was somewhat sincere, not all for the sake of sensationalizing the price.

Shen Yuechen saw him say the number of 500 taels, and secretly thought about it.500 taels is a large amount, even after deducting the depreciation price, I'm afraid it won't be much less.

Shen Yuechen then smiled slightly: "The younger generation sees that Boss Guan is a person who attaches great importance to emotions. As you said, love grows after a long time, and you start from scratch here, so I can't let go of it in my heart. After reading this today, I also feel the same. I am quite satisfied, only in terms of price, I hope to discuss it carefully with you."

Shen Yuechen came prepared today, she sent someone outside to inquire about it.On the four main streets in Dezhou City, there is only a small shop of 20 to [-] square meters, and the annual rent is more than [-] taels.

She just took a visual inspection of the Double Happiness Inn, and she felt that the store has three floors, at least about [-] square meters, and there is a big backyard in the back hall, which is quite a lot of space.

Shen Yuechen calculated in her heart, if it was rent, it would always cost around 200 taels per year.But if, if she bought it, she could accept the price within 1000 taels.

Seeing that she wanted to bargain with him, Fourth Master Guan hurriedly smiled and said, "Grandma Zhu, Guan just made a real deal with you and didn't tell a lie. Guan wanted to make friends with Eldest Young Master, so , I won’t sell it anymore, 1000 taels, as long as 1000 taels, including the tables, chairs, benches, beds and wardrobes in the store, it’s all yours.”

Zhu's family has a big business and is a businessman who is used to doing big business.Therefore, Fourth Master Guan directly gave the selling price without mentioning the rent.

"Grandma, to be honest, if you want to continue to open the inn, Guan can even give you this iron signboard. It's not that I am boasting myself. The business here has always only lost money. If you continue to , with the Zhu family's reputation, they can get their money back within a year."

1000 taels. Although the price is not high, it is not affordable enough.

Shen Yuechen murmured slightly: "Boss Guan, you are very thoughtful. However, the price is still a bit high. And, to tell you the truth, I didn't buy this place to open a restaurant, so the things you have here , many of which are useless.”

It is good to have a gift when buying something, but if there is a hidden price increase for the gift, it is a bit uneconomical.

"Because I want to start a new business, if I really bought this place, I would have to clean up the shop again, which would be a lot of money..." Shen Yuechen's tone deliberately became hesitant. "Well, Boss Guan, I'm really satisfied with your shop, so after introducing me back, I'll discuss it with my family, and then I'll give you an accurate letter."

Zhu Jintang was still very discerning and chose this place.Shen Yuechen was also very satisfied, but as for the price, she still had to discuss it with him.

When Fourth Master Guan heard the words, he naturally nodded in agreement.In fact, what he hopes more in his heart is that Zhu Jintang can visit the shop with her.

The reason why he was willing to be so happy was mostly because of Zhu Jintang's face. If it was someone else, let alone 1000 taels, even if it was 2000 taels, he would still come out.

After Shen Yuechen visited the shop, he went to the pastry shop in the south of the city, bought some snacks that the old lady and his wife liked to eat, and then hurried back to Zhu's house.

When she came back to pay her respects, the old lady asked her how the entertainment was going, she could only lie to cope with it, but fortunately, the old lady didn't ask any more questions, and saw that she bought some refreshments, so she ordered someone to make tea and drink with Li Shi Tea was served and snacks were eaten.

When Zhu Jintang came back, it was already late at night.

However, Shen Yuechen had been waiting for him, and after coaxing the children, he drank tea and talked with him.

Zhu Jintang heard that Fourth Master Guan asked for a price of 1000 taels, and said with a faint smile, "This price is fair to him."

Shen Yuechen nodded: "I think so too. For such a big store, 1000 taels is not too much, but it is not a small amount after all."

After hearing this, Zhu Jintang looked at her and said, "Silver is a trivial matter. If you really like it, it's not difficult to buy it. However, we have to ask the elders what they think beforehand."
