Chapter 351 All for Rent
Chapter 351 All for Rent
Hu Zi stepped forward and said, "After hearing what Aunt Liu said, I can be sure that it was the Princess of Anping County. The three men following behind should be His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the son of Duke Zheng's mansion, and the son of Minister Zhong's mansion. These people have been doing business together."
"Ah, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince, he's here too."
"These are some noble people. No wonder they can rent a shop on an entire street in one go."
"........."
After everyone had talked for a while, Hu Zi spoke up again, "I don't know why the county lady rented so many shops, but if she really did, I think this is our chance. Everyone knows that Yingbinlou has good business, and that's a fact. The county lady treats her employees very well, and to be honest, the salary and bonus I get now are four times more than before."
"What, so many, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Yeah! You're not lying to us."
"Huzi, why don't you introduce us to work?"
Hu Zi said, "Why would I lie to you? The county lady said this is a commercial secret and is not allowed to be spread outside. If Uncle Li hadn't said that this place was rented by the county lady, I would never have told you. And do you know? The cloth dolls that are being fought over in the capital are also from the county lady's shop. They cost fifty taels each. Do you know how many dolls she sells in a day? The cloth shop is out of stock. As soon as a batch comes out, it's snatched away.
There is also an audio teahouse, which has only been open for two days, but is already packed with people. I have been there, and there was a three-foot-long queue outside the door of people who wanted to consume and listen to stories.
If it is really the county owner who rents it, I suggest you rent it to her. The job opportunities she provides are better than anything else. You don’t have to think about going to the reception building. Can’t it be right at the doorstep? Anyway, I have decided to rent it out. You can decide whether to rent or sell it yourself.”
After hearing what Hu Zi said, many people have made a decision.
"I've rented mine out too. I just want a job opportunity so I don't have to go to the rich families' houses every day to see people's faces. The wages are not high."
"Yes, I rent mine out too. I can work near home and still have time to take care of my family."
Everyone's discussions made those who were originally wavering make a decision.
Uncle Li stood up and said, "I want to know how many families are willing to rent out their shops and how many are willing to sell their shops or houses. I will have an explanation when the county lady comes tomorrow."
Everyone looked at each other, and Hu Zi was the first to step forward and said without hesitation, "I'll rent out my shop."
With him taking the lead, everyone expressed their willingness to rent out.
Uncle Li asked again: "Is there anyone who wants to sell a house?"
No one spoke, Uncle Li said, "Okay, since everyone has decided, scholar, you register everyone, and I will give the list to the county lady tomorrow. Everyone listen, the county lady will come to confirm tomorrow morning. If everyone is willing to rent out all the houses, the county lady will go to handle the formalities tomorrow, and you can think about the rent."
Some people said: "Our shops have been empty for so long, and some are even in disrepair. We definitely can't ask for a higher rent."
“Yes, it should be a little lower than the market price.”
Uncle Li said, "Okay, as long as everyone knows what's going on, we can go home after we've registered. Tomorrow morning, we'll wait for the county lord to come to the street. Those who are working can ask for leave. We need manpower to handle the formalities."
Just like that, everyone on the entire street decided to rent out their shops. Zheng Sisi never thought it would be so easy, but it was thanks to the help of Hu Zi, an employee of Yingbin Building.
Zheng Sisi and Sheng Zhen are still working hard in the study. Zheng Sisi is copying a story book, and Sheng Zhen is writing a rental contract according to Zheng Sisi's request.
Sheng Zhen dried the paper in his hand and said, "Are you sure they will rent the shop to us?"
Zheng Sisi didn't even raise her head: "Not sure."
Sheng Zhen: "Then why do you want me to write this contract? I won't need it tomorrow."
Zheng Sisi: "There is no conflict. It will be useful."
Sheng Zhen had no choice but to pick up the pen and continue writing the contract, and by the way, he put a grape in his mouth.
He didn't stop until he had written more than 40 copies. He asked, "Why does the contract say that the lease is for 10 years? In the past, the real estate agency didn't have this contract when it introduced the rental of houses!"
Zheng Sisi: "If there is no contract, there should be a deed. I wrote it for ten years to prevent any accidents. I said, if we run the shop well and someone wants to buy it, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage without a contract? And if the landlord wants to take back the shop and run it himself because the business is good, what will happen to the business we just started? Wouldn't it be a big loss? This contract is to prevent villains, and sometimes it is very important."
After hearing what Zheng Sisi said, Sheng Zhen felt that it made sense. Anyway, he had already finished writing, so he approached Zheng Sisi and planned to get some more benefits for himself.
