On the street, there are no taxis to be seen.

I thought I would meet it, but I guessed wrong.

However, it's okay to do this, this kind of person who doesn't know whether he is friend or foe is better not to appear in the future.

Otherwise, there are not enough brain cells.

We waited for about five minutes before a taxi showed up.

Soon we arrived at the antique street.

When I was walking around before, I spotted a storefront in the heart of the city.

The location of this store is good, but for some reason, it has been empty since I first opened the shop in the antique street.

Normally, such a lot should be a sought-after item, why is it empty for so long.

The façade is plastered with "landlord direct rent", but there has been no movement.

I called directly according to the phone number left by the landlord, and the landlord was very happy to hear that I was going to rent a storefront, and soon came to meet me.

Half an hour later, I finally got to the landlord.

The landlord is a balding uncle in his sixties, wearing a pair of glasses, and he looks very honest.

From head to toe, he looked at me carefully: "Young man, I haven't rented out this store for three years, if you sincerely want to rent, I will give you half a year's rent free." ”

"Really? That's great. I sincerely want to rent. ”

He let out a long sigh: "That being said, I also want you to rent." However, if you rent this shop from me, you will offend the four evildoers. ”

"The Four Wicked Ones?" My face was full of doubts, "Uncle, you have seen too much of Tianlong Babu." ”

He cautiously pointed to the shop opposite, with a plaque that read: Sihai Pavilion.

Sihai Pavilion, it's not the first time I've heard of it.

He is the largest store in the antique street, and the boss behind the scenes is Sihai Group, which has a certain reputation in Youdu.

It is said that his family history is mysterious.

They started out as a tourist, and somehow, suddenly started making antiques, and then quickly gained a place in the antique world.

I looked through the glass of the store and saw that the interior was very luxurious.

The most striking thing is a white marble seated Buddha in the center of the store, which is about 40 centimeters high and 15 centimeters wide, with the left foot pressing the right strand, the right foot pressing the left strand, and the palms of both feet resting on the two strands, this sitting posture is called "auspicious seat". The left hand naturally hangs down, and the palm is facing outward, which is called the "wish seal" in Buddhism.

This means that the Buddha is able to fulfill the wishes of sentient beings.

People who do business generally choose to sit on the Buddha, which means that they can sit and hold on to wealth.

It's too far away for me to look closely.

At this moment, I really want to go in and have a good look.

I don't know which dynasty this jade Buddha belongs to, the farther away from the modern time, the higher the price.

However, no matter which dynasty it is, such a large piece of jade carved into such an exquisite jade Buddha is a treasure of great value.

"Isn't that Jade Buddha very magnificent?"

The landlord interrupted my thoughts, and I replied, "Yes! Priceless. ”

"Huh!" The landlord let out a long sigh, the expression on his face very heavy.

"Let's go, I'll take you inside the store." The landlord said as he opened the door.

He said as he walked: "This shop has more than 220 square meters, with two floors up and down, and there is a balcony of more than 20 square meters upstairs. I only charge you 200 square meters, and the balcony of more than 20 square meters is considered a gift to you. ”

The landlord said and took us to the second floor.

The sun was shining evenly on the balcony, and Ivy ran over with her hands outstretched: "I like this balcony so much." Let's rent this shop. ”

Looking at her childlike innocent smile, I pursed my lips and smiled, and I could tell that she really liked it.

I love it too.

Many things in this world are about fate.

There are things that I like at first sight.

I don't know why, but I loved it the first time I saw it, and it seemed like he was just waiting for me to arrive.

"Mr. landlord, you can tell me a price, if the price is right, I will rent this shop."

The landlord looked at me carefully: "What did you do before, why did you come to the antique street to open a shop?" ”

I was a little surprised by his question, and I didn't know why he asked that.

I smiled......

In just one second, three answers flashed into my mind.

I used to open a store elsewhere in the antique street, because it was a bit of a problem, and now I want to open it again. If he said that, if he asked where he opened the store, he would lead to other things.

I'll start by saying no.

I used to set up a stall and made a little money, so I wanted to check out the antique street.

I used to open a shop in another place, but I only came here recently, and I heard that the antique street is very famous, so I came here.

However, both of these answers may lead to something else.

Ivy ran over and took the initiative to wrap her hand around me and said, "For me! ”

I was a little surprised.

She winked at me deliberately.

"We were in a long-distance relationship, and he quit his job for me and came to work in my city. We didn't know what to do.

I said, I like antiques, and he said, open an antique shop for me, so we're going to go here today. ”

I almost couldn't hold back my laughter.

This girl's lies sound quite true, and she does have a talent for making games.

"I see." The landlord nodded silently.

I think he believes it when he looks like that.

The landlord looked at me cautiously: "Out-of-towners, you don't know the prices of the antique street shops. ”

He hesitated for a moment and said to himself, "It's good to be a foreigner." What locals dare not do, outsiders may dare to do. ”

I frowned: "Mr. Landlord, what are you talking about?" ”

"In the antique street, a store as big as mine, and it is a prime location, the rent for a month starts at 200,000 yuan. There is no good location for me, and the more remote ones are at least 170,000 or 80,000. ”

He was right, the antique street is 10,000 square meters.

The location I rented before was relatively remote, just a small shop of 20 square meters, and the rent was 10,000 yuan a month.

In such a prime position, it is normal to start with 200,000.

I'm thinking in my heart......

The landlord said, "I see that you are sincere in renting my shop, and I only need you 100,000 yuan a month, but you must promise me one condition." ”

"Oh?"

I was amazed!

For such a store, the landlord has reduced the house price by half, why is this?

"What are the conditions, you say?"

"Since you've rented my shop, you're going to have to find a way to keep it running."

"That's for sure! Whoever opens a store doesn't want to run it. ”

"You have to ......"

"Old man! You're looking for someone to come and see the store, don't you want to live? ”

As we talked, there was a Scarface standing in the doorway, followed by two or three people.

"Let's go, this shop is not rented."

Scarface yelled at me and led people towards me, I looked at him, and he looked at me, and it was not good.

I suddenly felt irritated and asked, "Are you the landlord?" ”

"I'm not a landlord! However, whether this shop is rented or not, I have the final say. ”

"Huh!" I sneered, "It's up to you." ”

Scarface looked at the landlord: "You ask him, I said it counts." ”

The landlord lowered his head: "This shop is no longer rented, you can go." ”

Scarface was very proud: "Did you hear it, he himself said that he wouldn't rent it." ”

The landlord said and took the initiative to push us out.

We came downstairs.

I looked at the landlord and saw reluctance and helplessness in his eyes.

He was furious at me: "If you want to rent my shop, if nothing else, you can't have such a good shop as me when you walk all over the antique street, but I don't, I will rent it to you." ”
