As the summer drew to a close, Sister Zhang quit the last clerk and began to keep the shop on her own, just like the other private owners on the street.

Sometimes, Sister Zhang couldn't help but complain to Liu Xiaoai: "I've been in business for so many years, and I really haven't encountered this situation." I can't even afford to hire a clerk. You don't even have a replacement person to keep the store, and you don't dare to close the store easily, or customers will think you're out of business. It's so miserable. ”

Liu Xiaoai comforted: "You have to be much better Sister Zhang, at least you started business early and started early, and you really made money with your eyes closed at that time." And when I opened this store, I didn't catch up with the good times at all, and I was half-dead from the beginning. ”

Sister Zhang glanced at Liu Xiaoai sympathetically and said, "What you said is the same." We opened a store a few years ago, and in two or three years, we earned a house, and now although life is difficult, the pressure is much less. Now it's difficult to do business, and the housing prices are expensive, so I can't afford to buy a house until I die. ”

Liu Xiaoai said with a sad face: "Who said it wasn't? If we had used the money to buy a house and make a down payment, we would not be in such a dilemma now. It's all because of this online shopping, which has suppressed the business of our physical stores too much. ”

When it came to online shopping, Sister Zhang scolded excitedly, scolding online shopping for dragging down the business of physical stores and even affecting the country's economy.

The two also scolded the black-hearted landlord together, and the rent of thousands of yuan a month was simply vampires.

The small boss worked tirelessly for a month, and half of the money earned was handed over to the landlord, so the price of the physical store could not be reduced, and the price of the online store was even less competitive.

In this way, the whole business fell into a vicious circle of high prices, and there was no improvement at all.

One day, directly opposite Liu Xiaoai's shop, a large clothing store posted the information of rental and transfer again, and it began to be cleared and sold again.

The big red paper for the lease transfer was pasted for two days, and then disappeared on the third day.

Liu Xiaoai is still curious, is this not going to be transferred again? Do you want to keep doing it?

The weather is very hot, at noon and in the afternoon, no one passes by on this street, and Liu Xiaoai and her little bosses will not come out to chat under the scorching sun.

But in the evening, the sun was not so hot, and when it began to set, Liu Xiaoai and Sister Zhang, as well as the owner of another real estate agency, got together to chat again.

Liu Xiaoai asked: "Look at the other side, yesterday there was also a news of the transfer of the store, and today there is no more?" Are they still transferable or not? ”

Sister Zhang was also puzzled: "That's right, if it's not transferred, why is it still being cleared, you see that the goods are messy, it's obvious that it's really in clearance." ”

Sister Wang, a real estate agent, interjected at this time: "Their shop was transferred yesterday, so the transfer information was torn up at that time." ”

Sister Zhang is in the real estate agency business, and the news is clear about the nearby community, whether it is housing or shops.

And the news of several nearby real estate agents is all connected, so knowing these internal information is always much faster than others.

Liu Xiaoai and Sister Zhang asked in unison, "What kind of store did the newcomer open?" ”

Whenever there is a shop on this street that starts to be transferred for rent, it will make the nearby merchants feel Alexander, and they are afraid that a new peer will compete for this poor business.
