Chapter 439 Buying Land

The group looked around while walking. Although the appearance was ferocious and terrifying, Cheng Bao was dragging by Qiao Tianhao on one leg, the people in the capital were all very knowledgeable, so they just took a few more glances, and no one was too surprised.

When he walked to the end of the street, Lin Dong stopped an aunt in his forties. When he asked, there was an inn called Longzhong on the street next to him.

Everyone then turned to the street next to them. Compared to the prosperity of the first street entering the city, the traffic on this street was even higher. There were crowds of people and countless carriages. At a glance, it felt like people were crowded and crowded.

Noisy sounds came to my face, and all kinds of dazzling stalls lined up, making people unable to help but feel the urge to look at them one by one.

"Wanxian Tower, then Wanxian Tower." Qiao Tianhao woke up slowly. When he opened his eyes, he saw a brothel on the left. Big red lanterns, beautiful women with flowers, spacious and generous doors... With the dragon and flying phoenix dance, it was definitely a golden sign written by everyone and the roof was more than 20 meters high. Without Qiao Tianhao's introduction, everyone's eyes were involuntarily attracted by it as early as when he bought it into the street.

"Three floors, more than twenty meters, domineering!"

Lin Dong couldn't help but praise, "The third floor is not too many, but the two restaurants along the street facing the ring door are all three floors, and the terrifying thing is the height of the floors.

A brothel is more than 20 meters high, and even in a county town with a relatively loose control, it is definitely difficult to appear. At the feet of the emperor, it is definitely not as simple as making money. After all, this height has far exceeded the laws of the Han Dynasty for brothels, and the chances of Emperor Qianwei or any prince passing by are surprisingly high. If you really want to pursue it, just despising the imperial power is enough to kill ten or eight.

There is no backer who can let Emperor Qianwei or Prince pass by and see him, so this Wanxianlou definitely doesn't have such courage.

The business at the entrance of the Wanxian Tower can indirectly prove that the backer of the Wanxian Tower is unusual.

Even during the day when the brothel business is the most indifferent, the luxuriously decorated carriages are led to the backyard by pretty and beautiful guys, and among them, there are even carriages with spirit bird feathers inserted on the top of the carriage.

Feathers are inserted into the carriage. This is the patent of officials above the seventh rank. There are many privileges attached to it. If you stop a car, you can be convicted. If you can open the city gate late at night, you can be punished without punishment when hitting someone...

In the Han Dynasty, officials were not allowed to enter and exit brothels. These carriages dared to swagger at the entrance of Wanxianlou to see the color of their feathers, and there were also people with a large official rank. There was no doubt that these people had absolute confidence in the backers behind Wanxianlou. Only when they decided to believe that no one dared to use Wanxianlou for comments would they be so arrogant. Otherwise, if they changed to another carriage, as long as they were not caught, there would be nothing.

"By the way, shopkeeper, the food and food in Wanxianlou is also a great place in the capital." Qiao Tianhao kicked his legs a few times, broke free from Cheng Bao's right palm, and got up and said, "It's quite difficult for us to open Linji Inn on this street."

Lin Dong smiled and said no. Before coming, he had already learned that there were more than a dozen top restaurants in the capital. Moreover, because the inner city was home to royal relatives and officials, ordinary people were not allowed to enter and exit. These top restaurants were distributed in the outer city close to the inner city. In terms of geographical location, there were almost no regional advantages and disadvantages at all, and every family was a competitor.

If you really want to talk about the difficulty, the location of Linji Inn at the gate of this city is far less convenient than these dozen top-level restaurants in terms of region. This is the biggest weakness of Linji Inn. As for Wanxianlou, no matter how powerful it is, its main business is just brothels. Even Wanxianlou can't even play with Wanxianlou, so you can't compete with other top-level restaurants.

After walking about two hundred meters further, Longzhong Inn finally came into view.

It is naturally incomparable to Wanxianlou, but even in the nearby shops, this Longzhong Inn is just ordinary, and its store width is even worse than that of some slightly larger shops.

I glanced over and saw that the store was only five meters wide at most, and there were no alleys next to it. There was no doubt that if you wanted to stop the carriage, you had to take it around the street or the end of the street to the backyard.

Of course, the store width is the store width, and the profit of the inn is not high. In this capital, it is almost impossible to occupy too much place on the street. Lin Dong believes that the location behind is definitely not too small. After all, the price of the land is not as different as the streets. The price difference is at least ten times. The location close to the inner city can even reach hundreds of times. Otherwise, the width of an inn would be only five meters, so it would not be considered an inn at all. If you want to stay, it would be better to find a household to stay and find a random house. The yard would probably be more than five meters wide.

Everyone walked into the inn. There was only one floor in total, and it was not spacious inside, only about fifty square meters. In addition to the counter, there were eight dining tables. Within the sight, they seemed a little depressed and crowded.

When I saw a guest coming to the counter, an old man in his sixties and wearing a long blue jacket stood up, and the guy next to me quickly greeted him.

"Does several guests stay in a hotel or eat?"

"None are!" Lin Dong said with a smile.

"None of them?" The guy was stunned. It was obvious that this situation had not happened for a long time.

"Are your shopkeeper here?" Lin Dong asked, "I have a business to negotiate with him."

"I am." The old man spoke at the counter.

"In the morning of Lin Dong, is the shopkeeper's surname?" Lin Dong rushed to the counter.

"I don't know what business is there for Mr. Lin to negotiate?" Manager Huang looked at Lin Dong and others in confusion. These people had extraordinary temperament and were fierce and fierce. If the materials on their clothes were not very close, they looked more like a combination of noble men with guards.

"I want to buy this inn." Lin Dong said, "I don't know if Manager Huang is interested."

"Buy my inn?" Manager Huang was a little surprised.

Lin Dong nodded.

"This..." Manager Huang hesitated a little. This matter was a bit too sudden for him.

Lin Dong smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Huang can quote a price he can accept. If it is suitable, I will buy it. If it is not suitable, I will go to the nearby area and find a place."

"What business is Mr. Lin planning to do?" asked Manager Huang.

"I run an inn, so of course I still open an inn." Lin Dong smiled and said, "In other places, the business is pretty good, so I came to Beijing to try it."

This made Manager Huang a little shocked. He actually opened an inn. Doesn’t this mean that there is an extra business snatch?

In fact, he had already planned to sell the inn. One was old and had no energy to do a lot of things. Two was barely able to survive in the business of Longzhong Inn, and only had a profit of fifty or sixty taels of silver a month. This income was already very high for ordinary families, but several sons of Manager Huang were all doing business. This income had little impact on his family if it was too much or less.

The only thing that made it difficult for Manager Huang to make a decision was the nostalgia in his heart. He had been running this inn for thirty or forty years and could not make up his mind.

If there is a business rush nearby, and it is obvious that he plans to run the inn with a large capital, Manager Huang will not accept that Longzhong Inn will have a cold business. After more than 20 years of raising children, the capital for several sons to do business comes from this Longzhong Inn. It can be said that this Longzhong Inn is already a part of Manager Huang's life. If he gives up, he will feel heartbroken. If he lets it go, he will also feel heartbroken.

Lin Dong stood outside the counter, waiting quietly for Manager Huang's reply. This street was very consistent with the conditions he originally planned to be in Kailinji Inn in Beijing. First, it was not far from the city gate. Second, the traffic of people in this street was almost all for Wanxianlou. It was not too prosperous, and it was easier to get the land needed for Linji Inn and Linji Stadium. Third, when he entered the city, he observed that about ten miles outside the city was a forest that was about big or small. If you bought it, you could just build an amusement park.

This Longzhong Inn also meets Lin Dong's expectations. Although it is a little smaller, it is possible to join the inn system immediately. If you buy other land, you must at least demolish the original shop, and then build a skeleton with the canyon of Hualang County before you can join Linji Inn. A rough calculation will take you to make more than half a month. This means that you will have to spend more than half a month without the training bonus.

"Mr. Lin, I wonder if I can leave the name of the inn?" Manager Huang suddenly asked. If the name of Longzhong Inn could be left, he would even be willing to sell it at a low price. In this way, although he would have to give up his reluctance, it would be a great comfort to see that Longzhong Inn's business is better than the past.

Lin Dong shook his head and said that if he didn't change his signature, he would not be able to add the inn system.

"Then, how do you plan to manage Mr. Lin?" asked Manager Huang.

"Dismantle it, buy nearby shops and land to rebuild it." Lin Dong said without hesitation.

Manager Huang was stunned.

"It's probably easy to lose money if the inn is so big."

"It depends on how to manage it." Lin Dong did not explain. If you really want to say that the business method of Lin Ji Inn is to stay and eat, the legs are as thick as the legs. I guess this shopkeeper Huang would not believe it, and there will be a lot of problems at that time.

"This..." Manager Huang hesitated for a while, and finally, he watched Longzhong Inn become depressed and defeated his reluctance.

"To be honest, I don't want to sell this inn." Manager Huang said, "If Mr. Lin really wants to buy it... According to the rules of the shop in Beijing, the depth is ten meters, and the back is considered a backyard house. The width of our Longzhong Inn on the street is 17 zhang, almost 7 qi qi. The yard behind is about one acre and two cents of land. In addition, the money I used to build this inn, the total principal is 50,000 taels of silver. If Mr. Lin agrees to this price, he can find someone to measure the land."

"make a deal!"

Lin Dong had not paid back half of the copper coin price. He knew about the price of the land in Beijing that the price offered by Manager Huang had almost doubled.

Compared to the double the price spent by Linji Inn in Lingnan City to get a large enough land, this shopkeeper Huang is already very kind.
