Luodu is a majestic city and the largest city on the Norland continent.
After the race war, the Los Empire built this big city among the ruins and wasteland. Seven horizontal and eight vertical straight avenues divided the entire city into dozens of cities of the same size, and the royal palace was located in the center of the entire city. , the layout is somewhat similar to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.
However, there are no walls separating these cities, and the functional divisions are not very reasonable. Except for a few areas where the rich and powerful are concentrated, everything else seems a bit chaotic.
Romo Street is a not-so-famous food street near the palace and the offices of major imperial departments. It is said to be a food street, but the scattered restaurants and pubs seem a bit shabby.
"Recently, adults don't seem to be willing to come to eat. Business is not going well." A big and round boss stood at the door of the restaurant, leaning on the doorpost, yawning and saying sadly.
"Don't mention it. I heard that something big has happened in the court recently. The adults are in panic. They don't even dare to come and drink when they still have time to eat." The charming lady proprietress of the tavern next door took a deep drag on her silver pipe and then looked at her. He spat out white smoke in a blur.
"No, business is not going well this year. The pub next door is being transferred again. Is this the fifth one this year?"
"It's not because several new restaurants, pubs and brothels have opened on Lambe Street that have driven away all the adults. If this continues, Romo Street will really be doomed."
There are also a few shop owners who are complaining all the time and it is difficult to do business. The bosses are all frowning but there is no good solution.
Not far away, two people were walking slowly.
"Mr. Hades, the popularity, location, and business atmosphere of Lambe Street are the best in this area. Especially in the past two years, Lambe Street has become the first choice for dining and entertainment for the adults in the imperial court. Just now Do you really want to stop considering the shops I showed you?" A bearded agent followed the already disguised Mag and said without sparing any effort.
"The location is good, but the layout and area don't meet my requirements." Mag refused expressionlessly.
After arriving in the City of Chaos, Mag began to look for shops needed for the tavern.
The purpose of this trip was not really to open a shop. The most important purpose was to find Qiao Xiu and spy on the news, so Mag chose this area where court officials gathered.
If Qiao Xiu returns to Luodu and his plan fails, he will definitely continue to stir up trouble.
Compared with ordinary people, it is obviously easier to make things worse when it comes to court officials.
And judging from the methods he uses to control the Ministry of War to launch wars, he may have deeper hidden methods.
Professional people do professional things, so Mag directly found an agency and started looking at stores.
Lambe Street is indeed very lively, but it was excluded by Mag because it was too lively. On the contrary, Romo Street, which is located behind Lambe Street, is much quieter and has more choices of shops, which makes Mag very satisfied.
Seeing that Mag was indeed not interested, the intermediary also had the good sense not to recommend the shops on Lambe Street, but instead smiled and said: "This is Romo Street, which is also a very famous food street nearby. There are many restaurants and restaurants on this street. Tavern…”
Mag listened to his introduction, nodding slightly from time to time to show that he was listening, while his eyes scanned the shops on both sides of the street.
It can be seen that this place has indeed been prosperous, yes, once.
Nowadays, shops that have closed down and been sublet can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street, and it seems that they have been closed down for a long time, and no successor has been found.
At the entrance of the shops that were still open, the bosses and employees were chatting in the sun.
Judging from the undisciplined demeanor of the employees and the unconcealed worry on the bosses' brows, the business environment here has deteriorated to the point where it is no longer possible to continue operating.
"Look, there's another idiot being brought here to look at the shop. I wonder if he'll get caught." The tavern proprietress looked at Mag with a confused look, with a hint of ridicule in her smile.
"Looking at his stupid look, he looks like a newbie. If he just listens to some flattering words, he will definitely be eager to pay and step into the abyss."
"Hehe, there will be another fellow sufferer in the future."
The bosses also looked at Mag with smiles. Although there was some gloating about the misfortune, there was not much malice.
"Mr. Hades, there is a tavern in front of here that is being transferred. You can go and take a look. The store, decoration, and layout are very in line with your requirements." The agent Fitch led Mag towards the tavern not far away. Walk towards the shop with 'Ranks Tavern' hanging on it.
Mag stood outside the door and looked at the independent two-story building with a good height and some distance from the shops on both sides.
The signs and everything were ordinary, but of course, none of this mattered to Mag.
"The business of this tavern was also very good at the beginning, but the owner's family had trouble and was unable to continue operating, so he reluctantly transferred it. If you want, you can buy it directly. After a little rest, the business will definitely boom." Feiqi took out the key and said As he opened the door, he said that Romo Street has not had a successful sublet or sale of a store for a long time. Recently, more and more businesses have left the place, making it more and more depressed. He is just trying hard.
As long as you are not a complete novice, you will generally not go to such a place to rent or buy a shop.
Of course, this Mr. Hades seemed quite new, so he decided to give it a try and see if he could make the first order this month.
"Yeah." McGonagall just agreed politely despite his boasting. She couldn't believe even a single punctuation mark of the real estate agent's nonsense.
Opening the store door, it was an ordinary tavern, with tables and chairs randomly placed, and a few empty bottles on the wine cabinet. There was nothing special about it, and there was nothing particularly bad about it.
Of course, being ordinary is a restaurant’s original sin.
Mag glanced around, looked at Fitch who was about to introduce it to him, and said, "Let's just call this one. Call the owner to discuss the price."
"Um?"
Fitch was stunned, but quickly came to his senses and said somewhat uncertainly: "Mr. Hades, are you saying you plan to buy this store?"
"Yes, I think it's quite appropriate." Mag nodded.
"Okay...Okay, please wait a moment. I'm going to find the owner of this shop right away. We can finalize the contract today." Feiqi tried his best to restrain his expression and hurriedly wiped a stool with his sleeves. Mag sat down and quickly went out.
"I didn't expect to meet a fool?!" Feiqi was ecstatic. As an intermediary trainee who has been practicing for two and a half years, he still has not mastered the golden trick of the intermediary industry, and placing orders depends entirely on luck.
This customer doesn't seem very knowledgeable, but he is also very picky and is a difficult type to deal with.
Although the prices of the shops on Romo Street are not as good as those on Lambe Street, the price of such a building is still quite high. If the transaction can be completed, the agency fee will be enough for him for half a year.
