Chapter 36: Cooperation
It's not too late, and the streets are bustling with people.
Xin Yu got into the carriage and went straight to Qingsong Bookstore.
In the carriage, Xiaolian asked in a low voice, "Girl, will the old lady really give you money to buy Qingsong Bookstore?" β
Xin Yu smiled: "Out of this door, she has to buy it for me." β
Xiaolian couldn't figure it out, but her heart was a lot more steady, and she was worried about another question: "Then what if the price can't be negotiated, and the owner of Qingsong Bookstore won't sell it?" β
Xin Yu's lips smiled even deeper: "As long as the other party has the intention to make a move, there is no price that cannot be negotiated." If you don't want to sell it at all, there are always shops in the huge capital that are not doing well, and it is not necessary to have Qingsong Bookstore. β
Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief: "Then the maid will rest assured." β
Xin Yu whispered a few words, and Xiaolian endured the shock and kept nodding.
While speaking, the Green Pine Bookstore arrived.
Xin Yu got out of the carriage, and the first glance was not at Qingsong Bookstore, but at the opposite side.
There is no longer a congested crowd in front of Yaxin Bookstore, and you can see that the store door is wide open, and customers enter and exit from time to time.
Looking at Qingsong Bookstore again, there are still many doors, and the shopkeeper and the guys are bored and staring at each other.
"Hey, girl, you're here again." Seeing Xin Yu, the guy was both surprised and enthusiastic.
The shopkeeper secretly glanced at the steward who followed Xin Yu, guessing the purpose of the girl who knew Master He to come to the door twice in the same day.
Xin Yu turned sideways: "This is Steward Duan of Shaoqing's Mansion, who came to talk with me." β
"Steward Duan." The shopkeeper arched his hand.
The butler returned the salute.
The shopkeeper hesitated between Xin Yu and the housekeeper, and then asked Xin Yu, "I don't know what the girl is talking about?" β
"I came to visit the bookstore this morning, and I heard from the shopkeeper that your owner intends to sell the bookstore, and it just so happens that I have plans to open a bookstore, so I went back and asked the elders, and the elders asked the steward to accompany me to ask."
The shopkeeper was taken aback: "The girl wants to open a bookstore?" β
Xin Yu bowed: "Yes." β
"It's not easy to open a bookstoreβ" The shopkeeper suddenly reacted, and he didn't want to say this, and he was busy.
"It's not easy. But I have the support of my grandmother, and I really want to take down the bookstore, don't you have the experienced help of the shopkeeper? β
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment.
What does this girl mean, if she buys Qingsong Bookstore, these people in the bookstore don't have to find another way?
The shopkeeper's heart jumped twice.
Since the old owner fell ill and the young owner took over, the bookstore began to decline, and Mr. Ping An went to a loss after switching to Yaxin Bookstore.
The young owner's mind was not on the bookstore, and after the old club died of illness, he only wanted to live a relaxed life, and he had already had the intention of getting rid of the Qingsong bookstore.
However, the scenery of the bookstore opposite is infinite, and no one wants to take over the mess of Qingsong Bookstore, or they just take the opportunity to pick up a big bargain, and the money is not enough to buy the house attached to the bookstore.
The shopkeeper has feelings for the bookstore, and he also has feelings for the old guys who have worked with him for many years, and if the new owner is willing to take over completely, he is very willing.
The shopkeeper can't believe it, it's still a little girl who wants to run a bookstore, but I heard that the other party has the support of the elders in the family, it seems that it's okay?
Maybe the little girl thinks it's fun, and when the freshness is over, the family will take care of it.
"Our boss is not here, you wait, I'll let the guy go and please."
"There's no hurry."
The shopkeeper told the man to call someone.
In the process of waiting, in order to avoid a cold scene, the shopkeeper talked to Xin Yu, and found that Xin Yu did not mean to talk more, so he chatted with the housekeeper.
The housekeeper was suddenly ordered to accompany the cousin out of the house, and he was in a fog, happy to understand the situation with the shopkeeper, so he didn't notice that Xiaolian also went out quietly after the guy left.
"Little brother, where is your owner?"
The guy was a little surprised by the little girl who caught up: "Why did my sister come out?" β
"Our girl has an explanation, before your host and our girl meet, let me say a few words to your host first."
The guy was even more puzzled.
Xiaolian skillfully stuffed a piece of broken silver to the guy: "Little brother is doing me a favor, just a few words." β
"That's fine. What is my sister called? β
"My name is Xiaolian. What do you call a little brother? β
"Sister Xiaolian calls me Liu Zhou."
"Liu Zhou, did your owner mention how much money the bookstore has?"
The guy was vigilant: "How can I know this little fellow?" β
"That'...... Are you hosts kind? Is it easy to talk? β
The guy wiped a handful of sweat, and said in his heart, this little girl can really say.
Fortunately, the place where she was going was not far away, and soon Xiaolian met the owner of Qingsong Bookstore.
It was a young man in his twenties, dressed in plain clothes, with a delicate appearance and a somewhat casual temperament.
Listening to what the guy meant, the young man looked at Xiaolian.
Xiaolian bowed.
"Your girl wants to buy a bookstore?"
"Yes."
The youth was particularly direct: "Is there any money? β
The guy secretly rolled his eyes.
The young owner really has no nostalgia for the bookstore, the performance is so obvious, and he will not be bargained for a while.
"Our girl sincerely wants to buy it, I don't know how much money the owner plans to sell?"
The young man frowned, obviously thinking that there was no need to say this to a little maid.
Xiaolian hurriedly said: "Our girl wants to buy a bookstore, and it took a long time for the elders to agree, and it was the housekeeper who accompanied the girl today." The girl was afraid that the conversation would not be good, so she sent her maid to talk to the owner first. β
The dude twitched the corners of his mouth.
I can see that this girl who wants to buy a bookstore doesn't know how to hide her thoughts, and she doesn't know how to tell the seller that she wants to buy it.
Look at Shaodong's house, and then look at Xiaolian, the guy suddenly calmed down: there were mallets on both sides, and they were flattened.
Hearing Xiaolian say this, the young man said lightly: "Eight thousand taels, if it is less, it will not be sold." β
Xiaolian didn't understand whether the bookstore was expensive or cheap at this price, but she didn't have to understand, just do it according to the girl's explanation.
"Eight thousand taels won't work."
The young man stopped, his face impatient: "If you think it's expensive, then you don't have to waste each other's time." β
He knew that there were few sincere people who bought it, and some people had previously come up with the idea of buying it for five thousand taels. He just wants to get rid of this loss-making burden, and he can't sell it.
Seeing that the young man turned around and wanted to leave, Xiaolian hurriedly stopped the person: "The owner will listen to the maid first." β
"You say."
Xiaolian stretched out two fingers.
The young man's face changed suddenly: "Two thousand taels? Are you girls making fun of me? β
"The owner misunderstood, it's not two thousand taels, it's twenty thousand taels."
The young man was stunned and couldn't help but look at the buddy.
Did you hear me wrong?
The guy's stunned appearance made him realize that he had heard correctly, and stared at Xiaolian with a frown.
Xiaolian said without changing her face: "When you meet with my girl, the price is 20,000 taels, and the girl will buy it, and you will keep 10,000 taels when you go back, and the other 10,000 taels will be given back to our girl." β
The man's eyes widened when he heard this.
He'd never seen anyone make such a difference in the price of the family!
"What do you think?"
The young man's brow furrowed even tighter.
Earn an extra 2,000 taels for nothing, of course he is happy, but the people in Shaoqing's Mansion are not fools, he said that he agreed to buy 20,000 taels?
Listening to the young man's question, Xiaolian said in a firm tone: "If our girl wants to buy it, we will definitely be able to buy it, it just depends on whether the owner is willing to cooperate." β
The young man was silent for a moment and smiled slightly: "Deal." β
