Chapter 108 Buying a Shop 2
Su An Dong called the broker and said, "Young man, you can see that my husband doesn't agree with me buying this shop. The feng shui of this shop is so bad, I'm afraid it will be a big loss if I buy it back."
When the broker heard what Su Anton said, he felt that the deal might not be done today.
Su An Dong looked embarrassed and continued, "To be honest, I like these two shops, especially the one next door. Otherwise, you can discuss with the owner of the shop and see if he wants to sell one."
The broker said firmly, "He won't sell any of them. If he did, the shop would have been sold long ago."
Su Anton showed reluctance and said, "That's such a pity, but there's nothing we can do. Although I don't care about feng shui, my husband said that it's not worth spending a good price to buy such a shop." After saying that, he shook his head.
The broker heard something was wrong and said quickly, "The price is negotiable. If you want to buy, I'll negotiate the price for you." He glanced around and continued, "To be honest, the owner of this shop is not only selling, but he is also in a hurry to make money. These two shops have not been sold for so long, and he is also anxious. At this time, it should be okay to lower the price."
Upon hearing this, Su An Dong hurriedly thanked him and said, "Then I'll trouble you, little brother. But as you can see, my wife doesn't agree to buy this shop. If the price is not right, she won't give in." After saying that, Su An Dong looked in the direction of Zhou Huilan and continued, "If you can lower the price to a level that satisfies my wife and let me buy this shop, I will give you an extra two taels of silver."
When the broker heard this, he immediately became interested and assured her, "Don't worry, I will try my best to negotiate the price. You guys wait for me at the door of the store first, I'll be back soon."
Su Anton nodded, and the broker ran away. There was extra money to be made, who wouldn't be interested?
After a quarter of an hour, the broker came back.
The broker said to Su An Dong, "The price of the two shops has been reduced to three hundred taels. He said that he would not sell them for less than three hundred taels."
Su An Dong was satisfied with the price when he heard it. A good shop in this location should be worth at least 180 taels. This is still the lowest price. Selling it for 200 taels is a normal price. If they are not in a hurry and sell it slowly, they may be able to sell it for more if they meet a good buyer. With this calculation, the other shop is really much cheaper.
Su An Dong pretended to be hesitant and said, "Wait a minute, I have to ask my wife if she is satisfied with the price."
The broker added, "This price is already quite good. This shop can be easily sold for two hundred taels. If the shop owner was not stubborn and insisted on selling both shops, he would not be able to buy both shops at this price."
Su Anton naturally knew what he said, but he still had to do what he should do.
Su An Dong pretended to ask Zhou Huilan for her opinion. When Zhou Huilan heard the price, she was very satisfied and said to Su An Dong: "You are quite smart. You know how to lower the price. This price is fine. If it is any lower, I think they will not sell it."
Su Yuanyuan watched her parents pretending to act and felt like laughing.
Zhou Huilan glared at Su Yuanyuan and said, "How can you be so good at making fun of others? Stop laughing, or you'll be exposed."
Su Yuanyuan said seriously, "How can this be a joke? I'm just in a good mood."
After hearing this, Su Anton looked at Su Yuanyuan speechlessly.
After the show, Su Anton returned to the broker and said, "My wife still thinks the price is too high and is afraid that it will be a big loss. But I want to buy it, and I have convinced her. In order to prevent her from regretting it, we should sign the contract as soon as possible and transfer the ownership as soon as possible."
When the agent heard this, he nodded and said, "Let's go back to the agent's office now and sign the contract. After signing the contract, we will go to the government to transfer the property deed to your name."
Su Anton naturally agreed.
The group returned to the pawnshop, and the pawnbroker asked someone at the door to call someone else. After about a cup of tea, the owner of the shop arrived.
It was obvious that the person who came was a scholar, and he looked a very rigid scholar.
After both parties greeted each other politely, the contract was signed very smoothly.
After signing the contract, the broker took Su An Dong to the government office to exchange the red contract. This process went very smoothly, as the brokers were used to exchanging red contracts, and they had some connections in the government office.
They were the ones who had to go to process the red deed on time. If they were later, they would probably have to wait until tomorrow. The people in the government would not pamper people, and they would leave work early.
Su An Dong was very trustworthy and gave the broker two taels of silver as agreed. The broker thanked him happily.
Of the two shops, the better one was owned by Mrs. Su, with money contributed by the Su family. The other shop, which was said to have a problem with Feng Shui, was owned by Su Andong, with money contributed by Su Andong's small family.
After buying the shop, the three of them drove the ox cart back home.
After the three of them had dinner, Su Anton gathered everyone together for a meeting.
Su Anton told his family about the purchase of the shop, and told everyone to just say it was a rented shop and not to let anyone know.
Everyone quickly agreed one by one, and let Su An Dong rest assured! They are now familiar with keeping a low profile.
Su An Dong only told his family about the purchase of a shop. He did not say anything about the shop that his family bought. He felt that this was their own business and there was no need to explain anything to others. When his family knew about it, they would know about it. He felt that there was no need to explain it.
The next day, Su Yuanyuan and Zhou Huilan were drawing blueprints. Although the shop was new and had tables and chairs, it still needed to be simply decorated so that it looked more formal.
Zhou Huilan planned to build four private rooms, two of which were separated from the store and two from a living room in the backyard.
The restaurant they wanted to open was not a high-end restaurant, but it was not a shabby eatery either. It was a medium-sized restaurant! Zhou Huilan still wanted to make it as presentable as possible.
Su Yuanyuan wanted to divide the other shop into two. She wanted to use a small part to sell hot and sour noodles and dried sweet potatoes. She wanted to use the other part to open a clothing store to sell various rabbit fur products and make some ready-made clothes to sell in the store.
Zhou Huilan agreed with Su Yuanyuan's idea. The two reached an agreement and began to draw the blueprints for another store.
