Chapter 1366 Site Selection
Chu Jin asked Ren Yazi: "Is there any shop that is connected together? It doesn't matter if it's broken."
Ren Yazi looked down at the information recorded in the book. After flipping through, he barely found a suitable one: "No, only three shops on the east side of the city are willing to rent, but there is a shop in the middle that is not for sale or leased."
That is to say, the shop next door is a family business, and they won't sell it at all.
"Is there a relatively dilapidated house? It only needs to be big."
"The more dilapidated houses can only be found in the north of the city. Most of them live in poor conditions. There are also many people who are willing to sell, and the price is not expensive. A house can be bought for a dozen taels."
"Take me to see." Chu Jin had actually considered this issue long ago. The east and south of the city are the busiest and most prosperous streets, and the north and west of Chengcheng are all places where poor people live.
The house over there is cheap, but there is no place to do business.
Ren Yazi took him there, only to see stretches of low brick houses, many of the walls were cracked, the only good thing was that the floors were also paved with smooth stone slabs.
The traffic is good, and it is not far from the gate of the city, just need to turn in another direction.
"How many houses here can be sold?" Chu Jin asked, pointing to the houses facing the street.
"Yes, they can be sold."
"Okay, I want these seven rooms, and the price should be somewhat cheaper." Chu Jin was very generous.
Ren Yazi was really taken aback: "There are so many, you have to buy them?"
"Of course." Chu Jin asked directly, "How much silver are these?"
"The total of these seven rooms is ninety-five taels."
Chu Jin shook his head: "I'll buy seven houses together, and I'll take all of them at eighty-five taels."
"No, no, these shops belong to different sellers. If they are less than ten taels, they will definitely not do it." Ren Yazi was taken aback by his bargaining.
Chu Jin smiled and said, "You're wrong, it's more than one or two yuan cheaper for each family. If you can persuade them to sell it to me at this price, I can reward you with two hundred more silver."
Two hundred Wen is not a small amount in the county seat, and with the commission, he can share more than one or two.
Ren Yazi's eyes lit up: "Are you serious?"
"Of course, will it work?"
Ren Yazi didn't agree immediately, but he was obviously moved, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go and discuss with the head of the household, where the young master lives, I'll contact you when I'm ready."
Chu Jin gave the address.
Ren Yazi left in a hurry in order to earn money.
Zhang Cong glanced at the spacious house: "Master, these house servants have checked these houses. They were found to be dilapidated, and they can be used after cleaning up. Most of them are surrounded by the same wall."
"It's only a few hundred meters away from the gate of the city, not far away, but there are many shops in front of it, and you have to turn a corner to get in."
"Besides that, there are about a dozen households in the surrounding area."
"Well, it's not bad, the surrounding residents are cute and clean?"
"The slave looked around, and there was no littering."
"Are there any scholars living nearby?" Chu Jin plans to open a shop, it is so big, it must be lively, if there are scholars, it will be bad to quarrel.
"No, the young master is too worried. Although the rent here is cheap, it is too dilapidated, and it is not very convenient to sell vegetables. In addition, the staff live in too many places, so scholars will not come here."
"That's fine." The shop solved it.
Chu Jin had to find someone to open up all the houses and then cover them with tiles, which was a very time-consuming job.
