Chapter 430: Visiting the Store
Li Ning and the three of them ate breakfast for nearly two hours, until Zhou Si thought that there was a meeting to be held in the morning, so he hurriedly left the villa with his bag.
Sophia didn't have much to do, she had breakfast with Li Ning, and drank tea and chatted on the balcony in the sun, until the housekeeper came to remind her that lunch was ready, and the two realized that it was noon.
"Time flies, this morning feels like it's gone by in the blink of an eye." Sophia followed Li Ning back to the restaurant and sighed.
After eating and drinking at home all morning, Li Ning really couldn't sit still, and immediately proposed: "If you don't have other arrangements today, why don't we go to see the house in the afternoon?" ”
"Viewing?"
Li Ning nodded, "Yes, anyway, you can choose sooner or later, after you choose it, I can also help you decorate and tidy up when you go back to France, so that when you come back from France, you can move in directly." ”
"That's fine." Sophia thought for a moment and replied with her head bowed.
Li Ning has always been resolute in handling affairs, and when Sophia made a decision, she contacted early to find suitable stores, and now she has received several stores that meet Sophia's requirements.
After lunch, Li Ning asked the driver to drive the car and take the two to see the storefront.
Looking at the three stores in a row, they were not very satisfied for various reasons, and seeing that it was almost dark, Li Ning said: "Look at the last one, if you are not very satisfied, we will continue tomorrow." ”
Sophia held Li Ning's hand and said a little apologetically: "Thank you for your hard work, Li Ning, who ran around with me." ”
"It's boring for us to talk about that. What's more, I'm just idle and bored, but I want to thank you for accompanying me around. Li Ning smiled and shook Sophia's hand.
"Grandma, it's here. It's just that this is a pedestrian street, and cars can't drive in. The driver pulled over to the side of the road and said.
"Just wait for us here." Li Ning said, and got out of the car with Sophia one after another.
This store is a Western restaurant that is still open, and when it is close to dinner time, more than half of the customers are already seated.
"This shop looks like it's doing okay, why do you want to redeem it?" Sophia asked Li Ning puzzled.
"I heard that the boss wants to emigrate."
Sophia nodded, and the two looked around.
"Two, how can I help you?" The waiter saw that Li Ning and the others didn't look like they were here to eat, so he asked with a polite smile when he approached.
"Is your boss here, we're here to see the store." Li Ning asked.
"Okay, you two, wait a minute."
After a while, the waiter invited a middle-aged man from behind.
"The two of you came to see the store." The boss approached and nodded with a smile.
"Yes."
"Then I'll take the two of you to take a brief look, you can also see my store, the business is not bad, and you can make a profit directly if you take over. Even if you plan to switch to other businesses, this street will be able to handle foot traffic..."
The shopkeeper introduced while taking Li Ning and the two to visit.
"What do you think?" After looking around, Li Ning asked Sophia's opinion.
"Look at the location is not bad, the layout of the store is okay, and there is no need to change much. Overall good, can be considered. Sophia nodded, and then asked the boss, "It's just that in terms of this price, can you discuss it again?" ”
The boss shook his head with a smile and said, "Miss Su, the price I gave is already very low, and you have seen this condition, it is really a conscience price." And there are two other stores that are optimistic about my store at the moment, and there will be a reply today and tomorrow, if you hesitate any longer, the good store will not wait for anyone. ”
Sophia frowned and hesitated, Li Ning could see that she liked this store very much, but the location and surrounding facilities were superior, so the price was hundreds of thousands higher than Sophia's previous plan.
Because Sophia came to China from France with her family to start over, in addition to the storefront and housing, clothing, food, housing and transportation had to be purchased anew, which can be said to be like a lot of money, so this made her hesitate.
And just as Sophia was thinking about it, a couple pushed the door in, and as soon as they entered, they looked around.
"Waiter, is your boss here, let's come to see the store." The man raised his chin slightly, and asked a little arrogantly.
The shopkeeper stepped forward with a smile, "Two, you are also here to see the store." Just right, let me show you first. ”
The waiter took the couple to visit, and the boss turned back to Li Ning and said, "You two have also seen it, many people like my shop, if the two young ladies really like it, don't hesitate." I won't bother you two, you think about it first. ”
The boss said, going to greet the couple.
Li Ning asked Sophia, "Do you like it?" ”
Sophia frowned and nodded.
"Then choose this place, shall you?"
Sophia shook her head again, and whispered to Li Ning: "I calculated, selling my store in France is only enough to buy this store, and I can't take out a loan as a foreigner, so I will have to sleep on the street and drink the northwest wind in the future." Actually, the first store is not bad, and it is much cheaper than here, so we should go back tomorrow to see that one. ”
Just as the two were talking, the boss walked over with a smile, followed by the couple.
"Two young ladies, this pair of gentlemen and ladies have decided to buy, I want to pay attention to the first come, first served, if you also decide to buy, I still have to sell it to you."
Sophia opened her mouth and didn't wait for her to speak, when she heard the woman in the poisonous couple smile weirdly and said, "Boss, don't waste time, since these two little girls can't afford it, you can just sell it to us." ”
Hearing this, Li Ning was a little unhappy at the moment, not that the woman said that they couldn't afford it, but that the dog's low appearance made Li Ning a little annoyed.
And the woman then glanced at Li Ning, and with a contemptuous sneer, she said to the man beside her: "Today's little girl, if she can't afford to wear famous brands, she likes to wear A goods, and she especially likes to buy that kind of limited edition A goods." ”
As she spoke, the woman deliberately raised her arm, revealing the diamond ring on her hand and the limited-edition handbag from the previous season of the C plate.
"Why do you talk like that, we don't know you." Sophia stood in front of Li Ning and choked the woman back.
The woman glanced at Sophia with disgust, and half-hung on the man beside her and said coquettishly: "Honey, let's buy it quickly, the province is noisy and noisy here." ”
The man looked pale and pinched the woman's cheek, "Okay, well, listen to the baby." He turned to the boss and said, "I want the store, and I'll give you a deposit today." You don't care about cats and dogs. ”
The shopkeeper looked at Li Ning hesitantly, and didn't seem to want to sell the store to the couple.
