Chapter 133: Xu Tongdao's little routine
"By the way, I think you're a little familiar? Wait a minute, I want to think about ......."
Without waiting for Xu Tongdao to answer, the shopkeeper Boss Liu stared at Xu Tongdao and suddenly said such a thing.
Xu Tongdao smiled slightly, it is estimated that this Boss Liu should recognize him a little, after all, he and Xu Tonglin have been setting up stalls across the road for more than two months, and this Boss Liu's beef noodle restaurant and his barbecue stall are only across the road, and it is entirely possible to see him occasionally.
After thinking about it, Xu Tongdao simply stretched out his right hand to him, "Brother Liu, you have good eyesight, I am a barbecue seller across the road, my surname is Xu, you can just call me Xiao Xu!"
Boss Liu looked at Xu Tongdao in a daze, and it took a while to react, and suddenly slapped his head, "Oh! It's really you! Yes, yes, it's you, you are selling barbecue opposite, hello, hello!"
Saying that, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xu Tongdao, "By the way, Xiao Xu, you just asked me about my rent here, do you want to open a shop? Don't want to set up a stall anymore? I think your barbecue business is very good! Yes, yes, your business is so good, you should rent a storefront, what are you...... Would you like to rent the shop next door to me?"
Xu Tongdao smiled, opened his mouth and made up a nonsense to the other party, "It's almost! But, Brother Liu, seriously, in fact, I would like to rent your current one, but I don't know if you are interested in subleasing this store to me?"
Boss Liu was a little confused, and let go of his hand with Xu Tongdao in a daze, and asked in a daze: "No, it's empty next door, you don't want to rent it but you want to rent my room?"
Because I'm lying to you!
Xu Tongdao was playing with a poor mouth in his heart, but what he said was: "Brother Liu, because you have a ready-made kitchen, pots and pans, and these tables, chairs and benches in the hall! The one next door didn't seem to be a restaurant before, right? If I rent the one next door, I will rent it, and I have to spend my own money to find someone to decorate, which costs money and delays work, so I ...... it."
Speaking of this, Xu Tongdao raised his chin at him with a smile, "Brother Liu, do you understand?"
Boss Liu frowned and thought about it, slowly showed a sudden smile, and nodded vigorously, "Mmmm, I understand, I understand! Yes, yes, you are right! Your mind is really suitable for business! You are too right, but you really want to rent my store? This ...... That one...... You want to take over everything in my kitchen and the tables, chairs, and benches in the hall......, right? How much money are you going to give me?"
Xu Tongdao saw that he not only did not refuse, but also took the initiative to ask the price, and his heart was decided.
Smiling, Xu Tongdao stretched out his hand and signaled, "Brother Liu, why don't you make a price?"
......
About half an hour later, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin came out of this beef noodle restaurant, and Boss Liu sent them out warmly, both of them were very polite, and the smiles on their faces were full of positive energy, which was simply touching.
Just now, Xu Tongdao has negotiated with this Boss Liu the price of subleasing this store.
In view of this store, the boss Liu has been used for more than half a year, and there are five and a half months of lease left, the rent is naturally not calculated according to one year, after friendly negotiation between the two parties, the rent of the five and a half months is agreed to be 3500 yuan, and both parties are very satisfied.
All the kitchen equipment in the store, including the tables and chairs in the front hall, was discounted by 3,000 yuan, and the final total price was 6,500.
The two parties agreed to officially sign the contract and pay in this store tomorrow.
Xu Tongdao saw it - this Boss Liu is very simple and lacks experience as a businessman.
Because Boss Liu only made a verbal agreement with him, he didn't even let him pay a deposit.
Coming out of Boss Liu's shop, when passing by the store next to it with a rental notice, Xu Tongdao glanced at the rental notice on the door a few times.
Quietly memorize the contact number on the rental notice, which is the phone number of a landline.
Xu Tonglin happily left with Xu Tongdao, and did not notice Xu Tongdao's small movements, Xu Tonglin lowered his voice and said happily, "Xiaodao, there is really you! I didn't expect that Boss Liu was really willing to rent his shop to us, by the way, how did you see that he might rent the store to us? Hey, no! Didn't you originally want to rent at least two stores? Why did you only rent that one? Xiaodao, did you change your mind temporarily?"
"Nope!"
Xu Tongdao said and stopped on the side of the road, at this time they were already twenty or thirty meters away from Boss Liu's beef noodle restaurant.
When Xu Tonglin saw him stop suddenly, he felt strange, "Hmm, why don't you leave?
Xu Tongdao looked at both ends of the road, and saw that there were no cars on the road for the time being, so he walked straight to the other side of the road.
"Xiaodao, you, why are you going?"
"Call the landlord of the store next to you! If the rent of this store can't be negotiated, what we just talked to Boss Liu will be useless!"
"Huh?"
Xu Tonglin was shocked, and while chasing Xu Tongdao quickly, he asked in surprise: "Xiaodao, do you mean that if we can't rent the empty store next to it, then Boss Liu's store just now, we, we won't rent it?"
"yes, but haven't we signed and paid yet?"
Xu Tongdao didn't even look at him, and replied casually.
Xu Tonglin opened his mouth, unable to speak, only looked at Xu Tongdao in surprise.
Because from childhood to adulthood, teachers did not teach them like this! Teachers always said: To be a man is to be trustworthy! A person cannot stand up without trust.
Xu Tongdao...... Xu Tongdao didn't listen to the teacher......
Fortunately, he didn't say this, otherwise Xu Tongdao would probably reply to him casually - "What the teachers taught me, I have already returned it to them, but the tuition I paid, they have not returned it to me until now, it is the teachers who are not trustworthy first......"
After a while, Xu Tongdao walked quickly to Aunt Wang's newsstand, reached out and picked up the phone of the newsstand, and smiled at Aunt Wang: "Aunt Wang, I'll make a call!"
Sitting in the newsstand, Aunt Wang, who was knitting a sweater, smiled back, "Well, you fight!"
Xu Tongdao skillfully dialed the number he had just memorized, but he didn't expect that the opposite side was a phone from a commissary, Xu Tongdao said about renting a house, and the other party said to help him call the landlord and let him call again in five minutes.
Five minutes isn't long, but wait a little longer.
Putting down the phone, Xu Tongdao looked at Aunt Wang in the newsstand, and his mind flashed through his beautiful affair with his daughter Wu Yali last night, and Xu Tongdao was a little embarrassed in his heart.
If Wu Yali is a few years younger, if she has never been married and has no daughter, then this Aunt Wang should be regarded as his future mother-in-law now.
It's a pity that there are so many obstacles between him and Wu Yali.
But this did not prevent him from wanting to talk to Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, it has been raining for the past two days, Sister Yali, is she still coming for dinner?"
Aunt Wang: "I shouldn't be here today! Let's see if it rains at night! If it doesn't rain then, she should come, and if it rains, it is estimated that she will not come." ”
