Su Qingluan has never seen such a troubled look on Shopkeeper Liang's face since she met him. This made her a little curious. Who is the owner of that shop to make Shopkeeper Liang show such a look like "teeth"? It hurts" expression.
Shopkeeper Liang was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "I really don't understand a word or two, so let's go take a look."
Su Qingluan was naturally more respectful than obedient, and happily followed Shopkeeper Liang along the street.
On the way, shopkeeper Liang told Su Qingluan: "I asked Master Xu to pack up and leave the man Qian Liu who was rumored in Master Xu's ears that you wanted to replace him."
kindness? Su Qingluan raised her head suddenly: "What are the benefits of doing this?"
"You have a villain's heart," Shopkeeper Liang snorted coldly, "Normally, I can tolerate the gang in the kitchen stealing food and stealing things, but people who make speculations and gossips like this are not of a stable nature. In the end, It’s better to kick it out as soon as possible.”
Su Qingluan nodded in agreement.
She also had some vague impressions of Qian Liu. Although he was said to be clever and clever, Su Qingluan found that more than once, he would cheat when Xu Yuanwei didn't notice.
This is not something that you are willing to do in a down-to-earth manner. If you add in the gossip and even get to the point where Xu Yuanwei is dissatisfied with shopkeeper Liang, it is really dangerous. Let him leave as soon as possible, both for Xu Yuanwei and the entire Hongfu Building. a good thing.
"Thank you." Su Qingluan smiled.
"Thank you for what?" Shopkeeper Liang patted Yuanyuan's belly nonchalantly, "I would also fire someone like this who doesn't have much ability and is always making trouble."
Su Qingluan shook his head: "Although it was not your original intention, the fundamental purpose of Qian Liu was to drive me out of Hongfu Tower." But he had mistakenly thought that Su Qingluan and Hongfu Tower were just It's just a cooperative relationship.
Shopkeeper Liang did this, which was a relief for Su Qingluan.
Shopkeeper Liang waved his hand with a smile: "Niece Xian helped me solve the problem again, what is this small favor?"
The two of them were walking and chatting, and before they knew it, they came to a shop.
Su Qingluan looked at the area in front of him and was very surprised: even if this is not the most prosperous place in the town, it is still a prosperous area close to the main street.
The only difference is that unlike other stores with crowded fronts, this store's entrance is hidden, but there is no one there. Looking through the gap between the two doors, it was also dark inside, making it difficult to see clearly.
Su Qingluan carefully approached Shopkeeper Liang and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Liang, my budget is not particularly generous, and I estimate that I may have to pay the rent half a year or monthly. The price of this location..."
She once roughly inquired about the rents of shops in various locations in the town.
Although Lefeng Town is not a large and densely populated town, it has the advantage of being located on a major transportation thoroughfare. There is an endless stream of pedestrians, merchants, and scholars rushing to and fro, except in the cold winter, all the time.
This led to the fact that although the town itself was not particularly prosperous, the economy prospered due to the constant flow of guests.
Therefore, the rental price of shops here, especially those near major bustling areas, is slightly higher than that of shops in ordinary small towns, and is even comparable to some cities that are not particularly prosperous.
The rent of a shop in Lefeng Town is basically two to three hundred thousand taels per year, and some are better than four or five hundred thousand taels. However, Su Qingluan estimated that the rent of the shop in front of him would be as high as five hundred thousand taels. .
In order to have some confidence in her heart, Su Qingluan did not enter the shop rashly. Instead, she first pulled shopkeeper Liang aside and asked with some anxiety: "Uncle Liang, please give me a firm foundation for the rent of this shop." How much money is it?"
Shopkeeper Liang's round face was so troubled that it turned into a chrysanthemum bun. Could it be that he had encountered a boss who was asking for a high price?
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan was afraid that Shopkeeper Liang would be in trouble, so he added: "Uncle Liang, although I want to have my own shop as soon as possible, I also know that this matter cannot be rushed, and I still have the income from Hongfu Building. Worry about this moment.”
Shopkeeper Liang shook his head: "The rent offered by this shop is the same amount per year!" After saying this, he held out two fingers.
"Two...!" Su Qingluan was so surprised that she almost shouted, but immediately found that the strange eyes around her turned towards her, and she quickly lowered her voice, "Twenty taels? That's the shop in the remote back alley. The rent is It’s seventeen or eighty taels, right? In such a prosperous area, it’s only twenty taels?”
No wonder Su Qingluan was so surprised. The street where Su Qingluan was located was once her ideal location to open a store, but the rent was too expensive. A smaller shop would cost sixty or seventy taels, and it was difficult to pay it back. The price, and this is the price paid annually, if you want to pay monthly and quarterly, it will be more expensive.
Of course, the annual rent of 60 to 70 taels can bring in considerable passenger traffic - after all, this street is the only way from entering the town to leaving the town, so there are no shops on this street that cannot be rented out. Only when you can't catch up on the rent.
Immediately, Su Qingluan thought of a possibility: when a seemingly good product is sold at a significantly lower than market price, there must be a pitfall.
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan gave Shopkeeper Liang a puzzled look, and Shopkeeper Liang nodded in acquiescence.
Oh, there is indeed a pitfall.
Su Qingluan silently complained in her heart, but she also knew that shopkeeper Liang would not deliberately cheat her. It was true that the location of the shop was good and the price was low.
Seeing that the girl kept her head down and remained silent, Shopkeeper Liang thought that Su Qingluan felt that she was unkind and wanted to let him come even though he knew there was something fishy going on. Thinking of this, he quickly explained: "Xiannie, don't get me wrong, I really feel that after this village, there will be no such store."
Being able to rent a shop in such a good location at one third of the usual price is like pie in the sky!
Su Qingluan smiled and nodded: "Uncle Liang will not trick me, but it seems that this shop does have shortcomings - and they are not easy to solve."
Shopkeeper Liang nodded: "Niece Xian doesn't know something. This is where I'm really embarrassed - if this shop is useless, I won't let niece Xian bother to go there."
Su Qingluan nodded: "Hearing Uncle Liang say this, I'm a little curious about what's going on with this shop." How could Shopkeeper Liang be so embarrassed?
Although he has certain psychological preparations, the things that can embarrass shopkeeper Liang are definitely not trivial problems.
However, when Su Qingluan knocked on the door and came in, she was still a little shocked when she saw what the specific environment inside the shop was like.
