Chapter 107 Buying a Shop 1
Three days later, after Su Andong finished teaching the students in the academy in the morning and assigned them homework, he took Zhou Huilan and Su Yuanyuan to the county. In order to save time, the three of them did not even have lunch at home, but just brought some food with them and ate a bite on the way.
Before leaving, Su Anton asked Su Zhihao to take care of the students in the enlightenment class, and told him the content of the afternoon course, asking him to help teach the students in the enlightenment class in the afternoon.
The three of them arrived at the brokerage office. As soon as the broker saw him, he received him warmly. It must be said that the service attitude was quite good.
After the greetings, the agent said, "You came at the right time. There are two shops that meet your requirements. Let's go take a look!"
Su Anton agreed, and they went to see the store together.
Of the two shops, although the first one was large enough, Su An Dong was not satisfied with its location. Although it was not far from the main street leading out of the city gate, it was not close either. Moreover, most of the businesses nearby sold groceries and other daily necessities, but no food, let alone an inn.
Based on Su Anton's experience in doing business, he is not afraid of crowds when serving food, but is afraid of a lack of customers.
Haven't you seen that there are so many food streets nowadays? They all get together to do business, and the business is pretty good.
The second place has a very good location. It is not on the main street out of the county town, but on the street behind the main street. This location is already quite good, after all, the shops on the main street are all in the hands of rich people, and they will not be sold easily.
This shop is large enough, even larger than the one Su An Dong wanted to buy. There is a well in the backyard, and four rooms, and the warehouse is also very neat. And this shop can be seen at a glance that it used to be a food shop, and the kitchen is very spacious.
There are businesses near the store, including restaurants and food shops, as well as several inns.
Su Anton and his companions were very satisfied with this shop. They exchanged glances and understood each other's meaning.
The broker introduced the shop and said, "This shop looks good in every way, except that the owner wants to buy the shop next to it as well." He pointed to the right and said, "It's right next to it. Let's go and take a look! The owner said that he will not sell these two shops separately, but together."
Su An Dong and Zhou Hui Lan looked at each other, but did not refuse and followed the agent to the next door. If it was suitable, they would not mind buying both places at the same time.
The size of this shop is about the same as the shop next door, and the backyard is also about the same size. Although the backyard is not small, it only has two rooms, and these two rooms look very shabby.
The shop in front is not as well maintained as the shop next door. It's not that the house is shabby, the house is very good, not shabby. It just feels very messy and not well maintained, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
The broker said, "The owners of these two shops are in urgent need of money, otherwise they would not sell them. The locations of these two shops are very good. The owners have no other requirements, they just want to sell both shops together."
Su An Dong thought for a while and said, "Is there any reason for these two shops? Otherwise, why do you have to sell both of these good shops at the same time?"
What Su An Dong did not say was that such a good shop would not be a problem to sell, so why bother to emphasize selling both shops at the same time. With such a good location, even if they were sold one by one, I believe they would be sold out quickly.
Although Su An Dong did not say it directly, the broker understood what he meant. He responded perfunctorily: "It's nothing, he just needs money urgently and wants to sell both places. Wouldn't it be possible to get more silver this way?"
Su An Dong said bluntly: "If you are in a hurry to use the money, shouldn't you sell it as soon as possible? Wouldn't it be easier to sell the shop one by one? I'm afraid it's not just a matter of needing money! Young man, there's no need to hide it deliberately. If I want to know, I just need to ask around here and I'll know."
When the broker heard this, he thought: This is a smart man. It is indeed as Su Anton said, as long as he asks a little, he can find out the truth. So he stopped hiding it and told the truth: "The feng shui of this shop is not good, so it is not easy to sell."
Su An Dong asked in doubt: "Why is it bad? Did someone die?"
When the dentist heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, how could that happen? We are a regular dentistry firm. If something like that happened, we would definitely inform you in advance."
Su An Dong continued to ask: "Why is the feng shui bad?"
The broker replied, "I don't know why this shop is not profitable and business is bad. It can be said that it loses money in everything it does. Any shop opened in this shop will not last more than a year at most, and the shortest will only last a few months. Over time, everyone thinks that the feng shui of this shop is not good, so it is difficult to rent it out."
"The owner of the shop refused to give up and simply took back the shop and opened a grocery store. As expected, the business was not good and he lost a lot of money in the end. Now he really needs money, so he thought about selling both shops."
After Su Andong and his friends heard the reason, they believed what the broker said. People here are very superstitious. If several shops fail in succession, people will say that the feng shui is bad.
But from Su Anton's point of view, the feng shui of this shop is still good, and the location is very good. It's just that it's not well maintained, so it looks a little dim and messy.
Su Anton called his wife and daughter to discuss the matter, but the broker tactfully avoided them.
Su An Dong asked his wife directly: "Wife, what do you think? Do you dare to buy it?"
Zhou Huilan looked up at him and said, "Buy it, why not buy it?"
Su An Dong said in a sly tone, "Aren't you afraid of getting smashed?"
Zhou Huilan hit Su Anton rudely, and then looked in the direction of the dentist with a guilty look on her face, saying, "Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! Children's words are careless, and they will be blown away by the wind!"
Su Yuanyuan couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Zhou Huilan glared at Su Yuanyuan, and Su Yuanyuan immediately shut up obediently.
Zhou Huilan continued, "You know I have some knowledge of metaphysics. It's hard to say for sure, but I think this store is fine."
The reason why Su An Dong teased Zhou Huilan on purpose was because he knew his wife's ability. In modern times, his wife had the ability to revive a store. There were several stores that could not survive and were sold to Zhou Huilan, who brought them back to life. Zhou Huilan was somewhat famous in the local area for her ability to revive a store.
Everyone said that Zhou Huilan was not only capable, but also lucky. Are those bosses who failed to do their job incompetent? Of course not, her other stores were also doing very well. So behind her back, people said that Zhou Huilan had some metaphysics. It's really hard to say about luck.
Su Anton certainly believed in his wife, and he also thought there was nothing wrong with the shop, so he planned to buy both shops.
Su Yuanyuan naturally agreed. Her mother's abilities can only be understood but not described in words!
