Chapter 453 Looking at the shop
After the broker left, Xu Han whispered, "It seems we came to the right place today, but why did they suddenly arrest so many officials for no reason?"
Lu Chuan pointed to the sky and said, "It should be the order from above. Let's take a look at the location first, and then decide to go to those places for on-site inspection."
The two had just chatted for a few words when the broker came over with a map. When Lu Chuan saw it, he immediately fell silent.
The broker opened the map and placed it on the table, and began to introduce, "There are many shops now. The shops marked with red dots on the map are those that are selling. You can choose carefully first."
The regional division of the county town is now the same as before. The east district is mainly where rich people live, the north district is where poor people live, and the west and south districts are inhabited by ordinary people.
Xu Han and Lu Chuan looked at the markings on the map carefully and selected the shops.
The North District was not within the consideration of the two, so they simply skipped it. The prices in the East District were too expensive, and Xu Han did not intend to do business with the rich, so she could not consider it for the time being.
And if the business in the store is good in the future, people in the East District will send their servants to buy. Although the sales will not be as much as in the East District, they can still sell some.
The two mainly considered stores in the West and South districts, where these two areas have the most stores.
Seeing that Xu Han and Lu Chuan were silent, the broker tactfully said, "You two can discuss this first. I'll go over there and take a look. If you have any questions, feel free to call me."
"Okay, you go ahead and we'll take a look."
After the broker left, the two began to discuss. Xu Han pointed to the store on the map and said, "I think this location is good. The store is big and the location is good."
Lu Chuan nodded and said, "That's right, let's go and have a look later."
After that, he pointed to another place and said, "This place is also OK. There is a small courtyard behind the store."
After taking a quick look, Xu Han said, "We can't see anything just by looking at the map. Now the sun is not very strong, let's go directly to the store to have a look."
Lu Chuan had the same idea, so the two of them called their broker and went out.
There are donkey carts inside the pawnshops because they have to take customers back and forth to see the shops. It is inconvenient to walk all the time, not to mention it wastes time. It is also very tiring after a round of looking around.
After getting in the car, Lu Chuan said to the broker, "We plan to buy a few larger stores with good locations and preferably with a well. Please take us to see the stores that meet the requirements first."
"Okay, don't worry, if there's a suitable one I'll definitely take you to see, I won't keep anything to myself.
Sir, please don't be polite to me. I should be a few years older than you. Just call me Brother Wei."
Lu Chuan grinned and shouted directly, "Okay, Brother Wei."
The broker also wanted to sell the house. After all, only by selling the house could he get the money and not waste the afternoon.
So the houses that Wei Ya took the two of them to see all met their requirements.
On the way, Lu Chuan added, "Brother Wei, if there is a suitable house, you can also take us to see it on the way."
Wei Yaren laughed even more happily when he heard this. It seemed that he was lucky today and met a customer with great demand, so he became more enthusiastic.
"How big a house do you want? We have one, two, or three houses. It depends on what you need."
Xu Han smiled and asked, "What are the approximate prices for houses of different sizes? Can you tell us about it? We can have a rough idea so that we don't end up making a wasted trip."
When Wei Yaren heard Xu Han asking about the price, he was not annoyed. Anyone who really wants to buy a house would ask about the price.
He explained directly, "This year, both the store prices and residential prices are relatively low. In previous years, the lowest prices were between 600 and 3000 taels. This year, housing prices are very cheap, with an average price between 400 and 2000 taels."
(Note: The price in this article is based on the current equivalent of one penny to one dollar. For the convenience of readers, the time is also modern time.)
Lu Chuan continued to ask, "What about the price of the store?"
"The prices of shops are a little higher now. The prices vary according to the size and location. The price of a shop now ranges from 150 to 800 taels."
When the two heard that housing prices this year were indeed very cheap, it seemed that they had really found a bargain.
Lu Chuan glanced at Xu Han, who nodded calmly. Then he said to Wei Yaren, "For a shop, the size doesn't matter, but the location has to be good. For a residence, look for a bigger one."
Xu Han and Lu Chuan had discussed at home what kind of house they wanted to buy. It was impossible for them to come to the county town to look at houses without considering anything else.
After all, buying a house is not a trivial matter for Xu Han and Lu Chuan, and the couple must discuss it carefully.
Wei Yaren smiled and agreed, "Okay, there are two shops not far ahead, the location is definitely good, I'll take you there first."
In the entire afternoon, Xu Han and Lu Chuan followed Wei Yaren to visit many shops.
The first one is two shops with a small courtyard at the back. There is a well in the courtyard, a kitchen on one side, and people can live in the back, which is very suitable for food business. The asking price is 420 taels.
The most important thing is that the geographical location here is very good. It is located in the middle of the West District and there are many pedestrians coming and going.
The second one is also in the west district, but the location is not as good as the first one, and the layout looks similar. The asking price is 390 taels.
The third place is in the south district. It is just a small shop, but there is a large warehouse in the back. The asking price is 180 taels.
The fourth shop is also in the south district, but this shop is much bigger, with four shops connected together. There is also a small courtyard and a well in the back, a large kitchen, and plenty of living space. The asking price is 760 taels.
But the most satisfying one is the fifth shop, which is a three-story shop with five rooms. The most important thing is that this shop is located in the center of the entire county, with an excellent location. Of course, the price is also ridiculously high, asking for 1420 taels.
This store is a special one. Not only does it have three floors, but it also has an excellent location. Naturally, its prices are not within the range of normal stores.
Xu Han was very puzzled and asked, "How could someone buy such a big store? And it's in such a good location. It must not be a store that has had any problems."
Although the two of them liked it very much, they still had to ask a few more questions about such a good store, so as to avoid any trouble for themselves later.
Upon hearing this, Wei Yaren did not lie and said directly, "To be honest, this shop was just opened yesterday.
