Chapter 374: Site Selection

Dowling and Jiujiu took the paper handed over by Concubine Li and looked at it.

There are four properties in total, and there are no images and only text descriptions.

The first place: located in the middle of the north of Shangzhou County, surrounded by powder walls outside the courtyard, green willows hanging around, three hanging flower gatehouses, and verandahs on all sides. The courtyard is connected with each other and dotted with mountains and stones. The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, the garden is splendid, clear and exquisite, the backyard is full of roses, treasures, and a pool. The Youshang River flows through the Grand View Garden from the north, and there is a white stone road that crosses the Youshang River to pass to the opposite bank.

The second place: Located in the northwest of Shangzhou County, the courtyard is not large, but it is clean and full of vitality; Entering the door is a winding verandah, and the stones under the steps are spread into a road. There are two or three small rooms above, one bright and two dark, and there are beds and chairs made by hand. There is a small door from the inner room, and the back yard is out, and there is a tiled room in front of it, and there are two thick persimmon trees standing on the left and right, with branches and leaves;

The third place: The old commercial street located in the east of Shangzhou County, the long alley of the deep street with winding paths, the green tile wooden buildings and the small shops one by one on both sides, there are wineries, grocery stores, pastry shops, cloth shops, rice shops, coppersmith shops and other shops. This shop covers an area of five acres, with a front and back yard, a three-story building, and an underground wine cellar.

The fourth: located outside the southeast city of Shangzhou County, only two miles away from the city wall of Shangzhou County, a separate courtyard pavilion, covering an area of 100 acres, there is everything in the courtyard, 50 rooms, more than 20 courtyards, 17 pavilions, there are pools, there are lotus ponds, and there are stone bridges running through the lotus ponds.

Dowling looked at the four properties very carefully, and then handed them to Qu Alcohol, who hastily passed them and put the straw paper back on the table.

"What do you think?" Dowling looked at Concubine Li and asked.

"First of all, rule out the fourth." Concubine Li said with a smile.

"Oh? Why? Dowling was stunned, to be honest, he looked at them one by one, and his favorite was the fourth place.

"When I received these four properties, I knew that you would definitely choose this fourth place, but I want to raise objections, this fourth place is obviously a mansion outside the city, there are not many of us, this hundred acres of land is a bit of a waste, besides, we are here to do business, not to enjoy, even if you are good at cooking, you can attract guests, but there are a lot of inconveniences outside the city."

Dao Lin nodded after hearing this, it is indeed as Concubine Li said, if it is for settlement, it is still suitable for the fourth place, but they are here to do business, and everything must be business-oriented.

"Which of the three places in the city do you think is suitable for us?" Dowling continued.

"I think the first place or the second place, if it's my first place." Concubine Li said as she spread three pieces of straw paper on the table.

"I look at the introduction, isn't this third place a shop street? You just said that you want to be suitable for business, why don't you choose it now? Dowling wondered.

"The third place is a commercial street, but you look at the description, but it is a winding path, this commercial street is obviously not the latest commercial street, but is located in the old city, the passage must be inconvenient, and the future shipment will be extremely troublesome."

"In addition, the business environment here, wine shops, grocery stores, pastry shops, cloth shops, rice shops, coppersmith shops and other shops, there are already wine shops, and the wine shop of Brother Qu Alcohol cannot be re-entered."

"Why?" This time, I quit drinking.

"There are two reasons for this."

"First, as soon as the new store arrives, we will rob the old store to make interest, and we will be hated, and cutting off people's wealth is like killing our parents, and it is inevitable that we will not be remembered, even if we have the strength, we can't resist the bad behind people's backs."

"The second is that the old residential area is full of old residents, and it is difficult for them to accept new things, and the consumption level of the old residential area is definitely not high, and our commercial banks and restaurants can't eat here."

Regarding Concubine Li's opinions, Dao Lin and Qu Shan really admired the five bodies, and if there was no Concubine Li, the place they chose would definitely have a bleak business.

"What about the remaining two?" Dowling asked.

"My suggestion is to take both, the first is to do business, the second is to settle down, and the career and family business are separated."

Dowling nodded and continued to ask, "If there is only the first place to do business, how should my restaurant operate?" ”

"The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, the garden is splendid, clear and exquisite, the backyard is full of roses, treasures, and a pool, this kind of environment can be worthy of you, and the backyard will be used as a private club for you at that time."

"The three weeping flower gatehouses are just right for me to be the façade, as for the quit brother, you can just find a courtyard to make wine."

Seeing that Concubine Li had already planned, Dao Lin and Qu Drinking felt extremely relieved.

"One of the things I need to get right now is how much start-up capital we have, and these two properties are not cheap." Concubine Li looked at Dowling.

"How much do these two cost?" Dowling asked with a smile on his face.

"The first place is more expensive, about 120,000 yuan, and the second place is slightly cheaper, about 80,000 yuan."

"Enough, enough to buy them several times." Dowling said with a smile.

"That's good, there's another thing, that first property is said to be being asked for a price, and it seems that they are also interested in acquiring it." Concubine Li said softly.

"Then you guys hurry up and go, you must buy these two properties!" Dowling suddenly became anxious.

"We? Aren't you going? Quit looked at Dowling and asked.

"I'm still going to keep an eye on the cultivation of tobacco here, you guys go first, I'll look for you later." Dowling shook his head and said.

"Can you find your way?" Quit said unceremoniously.

“???” Dowling looked at Qu Shan with a bewildered expression.

"See what I'm doing? I don't know you yet? He said, giving him a white look.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't get lost, it just so happened that I took advantage of this time to absorb the phoenix essence blood." Dowling patted his shoulder and said.

"Okay!" Quit nodded, then walked out to inform the others.

It didn't take long for the Wang brothers to prepare the car, and the Qiu brothers cleaned up the Mochizuki Courtyard.

Dowling saw them get into the car, waved their hands, quit drinking, and led the team away.

Dowling turned his head to look at Han Zimo who was standing behind him, originally he wanted Han Zimo to follow them, after all, it was not clear what would happen, with Han Zimo as a master, he could still solve it.

But Han Zimo didn't listen at all, so he followed him to the death, and in desperation, Dao Lin had no choice but to let him.

After they quit drinking, Dowlin no longer lived in the Mochizuki Courtyard, but moved to Cuishan with a big grin, and Ye Buzhi was his companion.

After explaining to Ye Bu, he found a wooden house and began to retreat.

Sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, Dowling took out the phoenix essence blood.

Looking at the ever-changing phoenix essence blood in his hand, Dowling was ready to devour him with a ruthless heart.

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, the sound of a steel hammer suddenly sounded in my head.
