C78 Find a Storefront
Zhang Xiaotian and the Fourth Master Qi were the first to fly back to Qin An, and they had already discussed this matter beforehand. Zhang Xiaotian's shop had been closed for a long time because of him. Furthermore, the Fourth Master Qi still had a lot of things that he needed to take care of in Qin An. He could not stay in the capital any longer! Furthermore, Fourth Master Qi had always been in a hurry to take Faang Cheng's remaining collection to his own auction company to sell, so when Zhang Xiaotian returned, Fourth Master Qi had asked Faang Cheng to give the remaining items to him, so he could settle the matter of placing them in his own auction house to sell!
In fact, Faang Cheng was a little regretful in his heart of agreeing Fourth Master Qi to leave the rest of the items at his company's auction, because he already had plans to open a shop. Since he wanted to open a shop, he had to at least have some rare treasures, but since he had already agreed, he could only give up on that idea. He had other plans in his mind. According to his original plan, he would open an antique shop in Qin An. As the reserve army for the capital's shops, it was just right that he would have to make a move here and there!
Zhou Yan stayed behind to accompany Faang Cheng in finishing his business of looking for a shop in Beijing. It was best not to delay matters regarding business as early as possible, since he had decided to do so. Then, he would do it swiftly and decisively, taking down the Big Brother Xu in one go.
After sending off Zhang Xiaotian and the Fourth Master Qi, Faang Cheng looked at Xu Yinan's slightly haggard appearance and carefully opened his mouth.
"Big Brother Xu, what happened that day … I know that I might have overstepped my boundaries a little, but the moment I saw Sunn Xiaohan, my heart was indeed struggling to decide whether I should tell you about this matter. I was really worried that the truth of the matter would hurt you, but … I feel like I can't do it if I don't see anything, if I don't know anything! I would rather have you grumble at me in your heart than watch you get tricked around by that kind of people! This has always been my personality. Bro, I'm sorry! "
Faang Cheng said each word magnanimously. Although his tone was apologetic, his face did not look ashamed at all.
"Faang Cheng, you're thinking too much. How could I blame you? I'm very grateful to you. Really, if I do marry a woman like that, I don't know what kind of trouble I might cause. Although my family is not some noble or high official, there is still a special status. If there is a scandal, I will let my parents down, I will let my family down! "
Xu Yinan did not blame Faang Cheng in the slightest.
"You did the right thing. Tell me the truth, and let me clearly see what kind of woman she is! Did you know, I called someone to check her identity at her old home in Shandong. She is very famous in that county, but … It was a reputation for being promiscuous! I don't know how many times she has changed since then, but when she comes to my place, she actually tried to pretend to be a pure girl … Now that I think about it … I feel a little sick! "
Xu Yinan should indeed be disgusted, but a person whose actions and personality were so vile was actually in the palm of his hand.
"Fortunately, we discovered it early, so we still have time!" Such a person … We really must break it while it's still early! "
Faang Cheng nodded.
"Alright, let's not talk about her anymore. It's already the past!"
Xu Yinan waved his hand, his face still had a little bit of embarrassment, after all his eyes were not good, and he would not let others get away with it!
"Today, I will bring you to see the shop I selected for you. My assistant contacted three stores for me, two of them are in Pan's Village and one is in Liulichang. Go take a look yourself and see which one you like. Wangpu is in a rush right now, I specifically told them to keep it for you! "
Xu Yinan's ability and efficiency really made Faang Cheng speechless.
"Alright!"
He vigorously nodded his head!
Xu Yinan was the first to bring Faang Cheng to see the shop located at Liu Li factory!
It was located at the Peace Gate in Beijing, and was a famous traditional cultural street both at home and abroad. It originated from the Qing Dynasty, and at that time, there were many examinees who came here to study. As a result, there were many shops that sold books, ink and paper. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a kiln that was used to make glazed roof tiles. Later, the kiln moved, but it didn't take its name with it.
Compared to the bustling and clamoring of the Pan Family, this place was much more peaceful and cultured. From Faang Cheng's perspective, he really liked the environment here!
The shop that Xu Yinan found for Faang Cheng was at the front of the market, it was more conspicuous and was easily touched by the customers. This was because the further ahead, the more patience and spirit the buyer had, and the further back, the lower the transaction rate would be!
This was not a small shop, it looked like the front hall was about 100 square meters, not to mention the back hall, it was very spacious and straight, but at the back, Faang Cheng realized that there was another world in here! There were two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and bathroom. Furthermore, there was a small courtyard in the middle of the courtyard, with a persimmon tree as thick as a bowl, and a circular carved stone table and several small stone chairs placed around it. It was rather elegant!
Faang Cheng was curious, why would such a good shop start to sell? Xu Yinan seemed to have seen through his confusion, and explained to him the reason behind the sale of this shop. The original name of this shop was Sheng Bao Zai, and was previously a calligraphy and painting business, it was said that the shop owner had caught his eye, received a pair of sky-high prices fake paintings, and then paid the entire store back in order to repay the debt! It seemed that in the field of antiques, wealth came only from danger!
Looking at the appearance of the shop and hearing the story of the shopkeeper, Faang Cheng suddenly wanted to leave this shop. Firstly, he liked the shop very much and secondly … Since he could help the shopkeeper, he turned and looked at Xu Yinan.
"Big Brother Xu, this shop... "How much is it?"
"The front and back halls of this store are 171 square meters, I'll gift it to you as a gift. The total cost is about 22 million!"
Xu Yinan, on the other hand, memorized the price very well.
"22 million, or about 130,000 for one level. 130,000 for this position in the Gate of Peace of the Xuan Wu District is already very cheap!" Big Brother Xu, thank you. I know that it's definitely because of your appearance that the price was so low! "
Faang Cheng naturally knew that when Xu Yinan went out, he would definitely give his a discount on the price.
"It's not entirely my credit. The shop owner was in a hurry to pay his bill and make a move as well!"
Xu Yinan laughed, but did not casually claim credit.
"Alright, I'll buy this shop!"
The moment Faang Cheng opened his mouth, both Xu Yinan and Zhou Yan looked at him in slight surprise.
"It is indeed different to have money in this pocket, but …" Faang, don't you want to see the two families of the Pan Family? Perhaps you will be more satisfied! "
Xu Yinan advised Faang Cheng, and Zhou Yan nodded after hearing what he said.
"Cheng, Big Brother Xu is right, we have not seen those two families yet, so don't easily come to a conclusion!"
"It's okay, I'll buy this shop. I'll take care of those two too. I want to see what I like. If I can keep an extra one, it will be even more expensive. I'll buy it first and save it in my hands, then it will definitely increase in value!"
Faang Cheng let out a "hehe" laugh, which made Xu Yinan also laugh.
"You're pretty smart. Alright, tomorrow I'll get my assistant to bring you to meet the owner and discuss the matter of going through the household!" Let's go to Pan Family right now and see if there's anything you like in those two stores! "
The two stores that Xu Yinan had found for Faang Cheng at Pan Jia Village were not bad. The two stores were on both sides of the main entrance of the market, one on the left side and the other on the right side. They were especially close to the entrance and also very eye-catching! To tell the truth, the Pan Family's passenger traffic was a bit higher than Liu Li's factory, and they also had a lot of people who knew a lot of things. People all said that the more complicated things were, the more money one could earn, which was probably what they meant!
But even so, Faang Cheng still liked the storefront of the Liu Li factory the most. That storefront felt like it fit his requirements even more, but even though he thought that in his heart, he still left a storefront for the Pan Family. In total, the front and back halls of this shop were over 160 square meters, and if it was 11 square meters, it would probably cost around 18 million square meters! In this way, one elegant, one vulgar, one quiet, one moving, it could be considered as everyone's intentions!
He had reserved a trading time with the shopkeepers at the two stores, so the matter of the stores' facades had finally come to light! Faang Cheng was amazed at the efficiency of this day, and what he was most thankful for was that Xu Yinan had done his homework well, allowing him to hit the nail on the head with one hit. He did not waste any more effort and words on finding a shop that he liked the most!
