Once the matter is settled, Xiaolian will take the first step.
The young man deliberately slowed down and asked the waiter: "What kind of person is that girl Kou who wants to buy a bookstore?"
The waiter immediately expressed his first impression: "You are so beautiful and you have a kind heart!"
The young man looked strange.
What he wanted to ask about wasn't looks. As for kindness, is it kind to buy a shop and earn the price difference of 10,000 taels?
The waiter said that Miss Kou was kind-hearted and remembered that Xin You gave the boy money in the morning. When he saw that his boss had a wrong expression, he also realized it.
But if you say anything out loud, you can't slap her in the face. The young man scratched his head and lowered his voice: "Boss, haven't you heard the rumors about Miss Kou?"
The young man raised his eyebrows.
"Miss Kou, the cousin of the Shaoqing Mansion!"
As soon as he mentioned the cousin of the Shaoqing Mansion, the young man immediately answered: "The cousin who almost got into trouble because the horse frightened her?"
"Yes, yes, that's the cousin."
The young man touched his chin and murmured: "Are the rumors true?"
He couldn't help but become curious about the rumored cousin, and rushed to Qingsong Bookstore.
In the bookstore, the housekeeper of Shaoqing's Mansion was asking about the business situation in the past year. The shopkeeper was afraid of scaring away the buyers who had finally come to the door, so he could only do Tai Chi.
Fortunately, the waiter's voice came: "The boss is here."
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly welcomed the young man in and introduced Xinyou and the housekeeper to him.
The young man's eyes fell on Xin You.
The young man was right. This Miss Kou was indeed beautiful. Her painted eyes had a cold feeling because of her calmness. It was completely unimaginable that she would send a maid to find him privately to make a profit.
"I heard that the girl wants to buy Qingsong Bookstore."
"yes."
"If you buy the bookstore, what will the girl do next?"
"I will continue to open a bookstore in the future. My grandfather once opened a bookstore, but unfortunately he did not open it again after his death. Now that I am older, I want to have something to do, so I choose to open a bookstore to inherit my grandfather's legacy."
"Girl, that's a good idea." The young man nodded.
The buyer who takes over can continue to open the bookstore, and the old man can stop scolding him underground.
"How much does the owner plan to do?"
The young man was silent for a moment and then reported a number: "Twenty-two thousand taels."
There was a clang, and the shopkeeper hurriedly went to help the overturned teacup, and then looked at the housekeeper of Shaoqing's Mansion, who was making the same move as him.
"Is the owner sincerely selling at this price?" the butler asked with a trembling face as he held the teacup firmly.
Twenty-two thousand taels, why not grab it!
Worried that his cousin wouldn't understand, the housekeeper winked at Xin You.
Xin You frowned: "It's too expensive."
The housekeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is twenty thousand taels okay?"
The young man nodded without hesitation: "Okay."
"Then let's make a written receipt and pay the deposit first."
"good."
"Wait a minute!" The butler jumped up, his face turning red. "You can't buy it at this price!"
Xinyou and the young man looked at him together.
"Cousin, the price is too expensive, far beyond the market price."
"Far above the market price?" Xin You blinked.
The butler looked serious: "Yes, not to mention twenty thousand taels, even ten thousand taels is a bit high!"
How could you be so evil!
"Is that so?" Xin You looked at the young man.
The young man looked indifferent: "One thousand taels is not high, will I sell it?"
Xin You couldn't help but nod.
The housekeeper's face darkened: "Don't let my cousin be deceived. Twenty thousand taels can buy two bookstores like this."
The young man sneered: "Then please do it yourself."
"Cousin, let's go!"
The housekeeper took two steps and looked back, only to find that Xin You was still sitting firmly.
"Cousin girl?"
Xin You smiled: "Why don't Butler Duan leave first?"
housekeeper:?
The housekeeper had to walk back and persuaded patiently: "Cousin, you want to buy a shop, we can talk slowly, if this one is not suitable, then find another one -"
"I think this one is very suitable. I just want to buy a bookstore."
The butler's forehead was throbbing with veins. If it weren't for his identity, he would have wanted to drag the person away: "Cousin, this is not how business is negotiated. Even if you like bookstores, this is not the only one in the capital."
"But there are only two bookstores near the Imperial College. I think the bookstore opposite is doing very well, so I won't sell them for 20,000 taels."
"Why does my cousin have to buy it near the Imperial College?" The housekeeper was so choked by the cousin's straw bag.
Xin You said confidently: "Aren't my two cousins studying in the Imperial College? They're close so we can take care of them. Butler Duan can just check the pass for me, and there's no need to worry about anything else."
The housekeeper couldn't agree and said anxiously: "Cousin, you really want to spend so much money to buy such a bookstore. I can't explain it to the old lady when I go back."
"My grandmother supported me in buying a bookstore."
"I don't support you spending 20,000 taels to buy a bookstore!" The housekeeper spoke out in a fit of urgency.
Xin You looked confused: "But the money to buy the bookstore is my own."
As soon as these words came out, the boss, shopkeeper and waiter all looked at the butler.
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment.
Xinyou saw it and sneered secretly.
Looking at the housekeeper like this, I never thought that Miss Kou had family wealth. And the attitude of a housekeeper is not a reflection of the true attitude of the Shaoqing Mansion.
"Grandma has long said that she will keep the money my parents left for me first, and it will be my dowry from now on. Since it is mine, I want to use a small part to buy a bookstore. Do I need Butler Duan to agree?"
"This -" Facing the meaningful looks from his boss and others, the housekeeper suddenly thought of those rumors.
Many people say that the Shaoqing government is greedy for Cousin's family wealth. If he takes a strong stance and prevents Cousin from buying a bookstore, if something unpleasant comes from the mouths of people like him in the bookstore, the old lady will not praise him for saving money when he buys a bookstore. , but will blame him for not doing things well and damaging the reputation of Shaoqing's house.
The housekeeper made a small calculation in his mind.
Xin You raised her lips: "Grandma loves me the most. I am happy when I buy what I want, and she will be happy for me too. If Butler Duan is worried about being criticized by grandma for buying too much, there is no need at all."
The butler fell silent.
Xin You smiled at the young man: "Then let's set up a written receipt. I brought a deposit of two thousand. By the way, two copies of the written receipt need to be made, right?"
The young man heard Xin You's emphasis on the word "two". Since Xiao Lian had said it first, he naturally understood what it meant.
Normally, there are two copies of the contract. After signature and painting, one goes to the seller and one goes to the buyer. The two contracts Xin You mentioned refer to two contracts with different selling prices.
"Yes, two portions." The young man nodded with a smile.
It turned out that the rumors were true, and all the cousin's wealth was in the hands of her grandmother.
Poor people too.
After quickly writing the contract, Xin You handed it to the butler: "I don't understand this. Butler Duan will keep an eye on it for me."
The housekeeper took the contract with a numb look on his face, and Xin You asked the young man: "Can my boss take me to the printing shop behind to have a look?"
"Of course you can. Shopkeeper Hu, please accompany Butler Duan for me."
Xinyou and the young man took the opportunity to go to the back to finalize another contract. The young man couldn't help but ask: "Miss Kou, aren't you afraid that I will tell you?"
Xin You smiled: "I believe smart people will not do anything that harms others but does not benefit oneself."
The young man also smiled and handed over his hand: "As for Qingsong Bookstore, I will leave it to the new owner from now on."
Xin You responded: "I won't let my old club down."
