From the place where Lu Jianguo and the little princess rest, heading south.

About thirty miles away, there is a Pingyang Town. This Pingyang Town was a wealthy town about five or six years ago. Because the town is rich in pottery, there are many merchants coming and going, and the shopping street in the center of the town is also particularly prosperous.

However, in the past two years, the business in the town has become increasingly difficult to do, and the pottery business has been monopolized by large merchants. The people have lost their source of income, and Pingyang Town has gradually declined.

On the corner of Pingyang Town, there is a shop with a good location. The owner's surname is Wang and his name is Wang Changgui. He is a foreigner. He came to Pingyang Town to do pottery business seven years ago. After making some money, he bought the shop. Later, the pottery business was not good, so he changed the shop to a grocery store, which could maintain a good income.

However, in the past two years, a group of bullies emerged in the town. The person in charge was named Li Biao, and he had more than 20 younger brothers. They relied on the shops along the street to collect protection fees to make a living. Moreover, Li Biao also had a brother-in-law, who was a famous bandit leader on the nearby mountains, so no one dared to offend him in this way.

Wang Changgui's grocery store was originally well run, but Li Biao saw that he had a good business, so he brought people to collect protection fees every few days. As a result, the business could not continue, so he wanted to find someone to sell the shop.

But the market is so bad now, who will take over such a mess at this time? It is time for Li Biao to collect protection fees again, Wang Changgui is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

It was also that afternoon that two customers came to the store. These two people were none other than Lu Jianguo and the little princess.

At this time, the two had already disguised themselves. Lu Jianguo was dressed in a purple shirt and looked like a businessman, while the little princess was dressed as a man and looked like a knight.

When Wang Changgui heard that the two of them came to take over the store, he hurriedly let them into the room and served tea.

"I heard that the business on this street is not easy to do, and there are several shops that plan to sell the store." Lu Jianguo picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. "I wonder how much the price of Manager Wang is going to offer?"

Wang Changgui looked up and down at Lu Jianguo. Although this person is extraordinary, he doesn't look like a businessman. "For 400 taels of silver, I will pack and sell all the items in the shop to you. What do you think?"

"Well..." Lu Jianguo hesitated for a moment, "This price is not too expensive. It seems that Manager Wang is indeed a honest person, but the things in your shop are of no use to me."

"I wonder what business you are planning to do?"

"I haven't thought about this yet." Lu Jianguo put the tea bowl back on the table. "I heard that the street is not peaceful, so I'm afraid that ordinary business can't be done."

"You are right. If you don't have any backing, it's really not that easy to gain a foothold on this street." Wang Changgui sighed, "If you sincerely want to take over my shop, I'll tell you that my base price is 350 taels of silver."

Lu Jianguo said expressionlessly: "How much protection fee do you have to pay to Li Biao every month?"

"This..." Wang Changgui paused, "Usually, he would only collect ten taels of silver."

"It seems that Manager Wang has no sincerity." Lu Jianguo stood up and sighed.

He knew in his heart that if he only paid ten taels of silver a month, such a large shop would not be unable to open. Manager Wang wanted to kill him before leaving. If this shop was said to be worth three or four hundred taels a few years ago, but now most merchants will not pass by Pingyang Town, and the business in the town naturally plummeted, and the price of the shop would definitely shrink greatly.

Most businessmen are profit-oriented and cannot suffer any losses, and Wang Changgui is no exception. He has paid a lot of money from Li Biao. When he saw that Lu Jianguo was a foreigner, he wanted to make up for the money from Lu Jianguo. Although it was unlucky for him to be bullied by Li Biao, it would be a bit unauthorized if he wanted to settle the accounts on Lu Jianguo.

Lu Jianguo is also a modern person after all, and with his shrewdness, he can easily see through this.

Seeing that Lu Jianguo was leaving, Wang Changgui quickly stopped him and said, "If you are not satisfied with the price, we can talk about it again, and talk about it..."

"Talk again?" Lu Jianguo smiled slightly.

"If you really want this store, just offer a price."

"The location of your shop is really good, with two floors and a good layout." Lu Jianguodao: "But with the current situation, there are probably not many people who dare to take over your shop and can offer high prices."

"You are telling the truth." Wang Changgui knew very well that it was difficult for his store to be sold at a good price, because the business on this street was dead.

He now has a shop, but in fact he is losing money every month. If the business on the whole street cannot continue, naturally no one will come to his grocery store to buy things. But even so, he still has to pay 30 taels of protection every month because his shop cannot escape. If he delays for another two months and someone pays 100 taels of silver, he will sell the shop.

"One hundred and fifty taels, as long as you can take out one hundred and fifty taels of cash... I will sell it!" Wang Changgui said ruthlessly, but in fact, even if he quoted this price, he was still a little worried, because even if the other party pressed the price down, he would still sell it to one hundred taels.

"One hundred taels." Lu Jianguo said tactfully: "I don't want the things in the shop. As long as you can take them, you can take them away."

Originally, he didn't want to kill the price so ruthlessly, but Wang Changgui was too dishonest. He dared to offer 400 taels at the beginning, which was simply a pig. No one's life was easy, and he was still a "loan" to buy a shop. If this transaction was compensated, he would be in danger.

"One hundred taels, this is too..."

It's too accurate, and it's accurate to Wang Changgui's heart. Although it's a psychological price, he was still reluctant. "It's too little. You'll pay thirty taels more, and you'll leave all the things here for you. You don't have to recreate the furniture, all of them are ready-made."

"One Hundred and Thirty Taw?" Lu Jianguo glanced at the furniture in the room and said, "Okay, then we'll make a deal."

"That's you." Wang Changgui shook his head and sighed, "If you really want to change someone else, I may not be willing to sell 200 taels of silver!"

"Is that right?" Lu Jianguo saw through and said it, "Then I'll get a big advantage."

"Look at what you said, business is not in love, make friends, make friends..."

Wang Changgui has been doing so many days and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The business in this place is not easy to do!
