Chapter 51: Smooth Takeover
Li Biao's heart is very suspicious, it is not difficult to imagine that nothing can shock people compared to those unpredictable prophets.
But he didn't panic, he broke into the tiger's den in Longtan, what fear did he have in this small county town with a big palm, although he sympathized with the revolution, and could even be said to support the revolution, but he never did anything contrary to the authorities in public, what was he afraid of?
Li Biao walked into the store calmly, and the shopkeeper quickly got up to greet the customer, and said kindly: "What does the guest officer want?" β
Li Biao didn't answer immediately, just looked around at the furnishings in the store, and when he had seen enough, he said slowly: "I want to pot this shop......"
The shopkeeper looked at him in surprise, and said after a long time: "Does the guest officer want to open his own shop?" My shop is very profitable, and I was reluctant to get rid of it, but my father occasionally felt the wind and cold, and he was actually bedridden, so I won't tell you, I really want to leave the store and go home to serve my father. β
Li Biao looked at him indifferently, as Brother Li Yan said, everything here seemed to be what he expected, could it be that this shopkeeper was also their "comrade"?
Thinking of this, Li Biao also pretended to talk casually about the contact code that Li Yi taught him, "Boss, business is not good, and the two cities are not very popular!" β
"Guest, you are wrong, although it is a situation of two cities dividing the river, but the opposite side is outside the city, how can it be the same day as the shops in this city, you look at the popularity here, the bustling flow of people every day is the customer of this store." The shopkeeper didn't seem to understand what Li Biao meant.
Li Biao suddenly woke up, he almost broke the big thing, he couldn't think about it, if this shopkeeper was his own person, then he didn't need to join in the fun.
He immediately looked at the shopkeeper, still looking dazed and ignorant, really thankful, in the end, it was a fledgling, that code was only used to identify with others, how could the words be taken out and easily displayed.
Li Biao hurriedly changed the topic, "Shopkeeper, why is your shop called such a name?" Isn't there anything special about it? β
The shopkeeper looked at the signboard on the lintel, and said proudly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that my surname is Li, and the small shop mainly deals in some daily necessities and other department stores, so it has such a store name." β
"Oh, so that's the case, it just so happens that my surname is Li, and I have been doing some shoulder-to-shoulder business outside these years, and I have some savings, and my family wants me to set up a shop on this street and do some small business, I don't know ...... Guibao" Li Biao asked deliberately tentatively.
"This is easy to say, don't hide it from you, due to my father's illness, I haven't bought for some time, since you are also surnamed Li, we can't write two Li characters, so let's say, if the shop carefully counts the pots, it is probably worth three pieces of the ocean, and now you are also happy to look at the brothers, let's make an estimate, you are not worth it, just give two pieces of the ocean, this shop is yours, you only need to sign a lease with the landlord, you can immediately sit on Manulife." The shopkeeper said frankly.
Li Biao was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that business is not easy to do these days, otherwise how could this shopkeeper Li sell such a shop so cheaply.
But he took this shop for a purpose, because this is the bend of the street, and standing at the door of this shop and looking out, the interior of Wang Ji Teahouse can almost be said to be unobstructed.
In order to complete the task given to him by Brother Li Yu to take care of the beauty, if he can pot this shop, it will be a godsend.
But he still kept quiet, did not show a trace of urgency, he just touched here, looked there, looked old and sophisticated, he could not show traces of his purpose, but deliberately pretended to be scheming.
In order to pat his ass and leave as soon as possible, he followed behind Li Biao, told him all the details of the store, and finally locked the faΓ§ade and took Li Biao directly to the landlord to sign the lease. The shopkeeper is like throwing out a hot potato, crisp and neat.
Li Biao seems to have picked up a treasure and can't put it down. While cleaning the shop, he looked at the teahouse, intentionally or unintentionally.
The light and generous woman in the teahouse is Wang Shi'er, she is wearing a decent green cloth cardigan, short hair to her ears, and her beautiful face is a little sad, but her demeanor is also smart and capable.
I haven't seen her for a few years, the little girl of the year has become a slim big girl now, Li Biao leaned on the lintel, almost distracted, and his mind seemed to have conjured up a shy girlfriend, who was surrounded by him.
Li Biao gently patted his almost unwanted brain, calm, and the idlers outside the teahouse who had nothing to do immediately reminded him that since he had taken the first step, no one could predict what would happen next at this time.
However, Li Biao undeniably fell in love with this good-looking Wang Shi'er, and said that he would take care of her temporarily, and he even hoped to protect her life in his heart.
Li Biao returned home and told his family about the shop, the whole family was very happy, Mrs. Gu looked at her son fondly, and she couldn't imagine that her son was so promising, and he could be a shopkeeper in the city, which in itself was a good thing worth being happy about.
Of course, Li Biao who should say it is naturally adding fuel and vinegar in front of his family, and he doesn't say a word in front of his relatives when he shouldn't say it.
At this time, only Li Di had mixed feelings in his heart, although he left one step earlier, he still knew some clues, he was worried about the safety of his eldest brother, and from now on, he was more worried, because the younger brother was walking the old path of the eldest brother, and he would also be quietly involved.
It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided! Li Di didn't think about it in his heart, but he loved his pregnant wife even more, and he felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, the responsibility of being a son of man and a father, which made him have a lot of worries in his heart.
Li Biao looked at the second brother who was very worried, those things that should not be said, he didn't say it, and the second brother didn't say it, he was already very satisfied, he patted Li Di on the shoulder, and said with a confident smile: "Li Da shopkeeper, tomorrow the Guibao will open, you are the leader, I am your shopkeeper, I believe that with the strength of our brothers, we will definitely be able to make a name!" β
Li Di wanted to speak and stopped, facing his family full of expectations, he was thinking about how to go in the future......
