Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 157: Uncle Gao

Chapter 157: Uncle Gao

Ji Jianyun and Father Ji came back when it was almost evening.

In the past, when they went to the college town, they could come back before noon at the latest. This time, they came home later because they had something to do.

Although it was late, they finished doing what they had to do.

They were fortunate. It was just a coincidence, but the person they were buying a shop from was an acquaintance.

It was an old man who frequented Ji Jianyun stall. Ji Jianyun had seen him spend all his money on eggs, live chickens and so on. When the old man had no money to buy honey, Ji Jianyun had given him the leftover honey. Although there was not much, the old man thought that the young man who had left the army was really good.

In addition, Ji Jianyun’s goods were top-notch, so the old man was basically a regular buyer.

The last time Ji Jianyun went to sell goods, the old man wasn’t there and had regretted it a lot. He didn’t care about anything else after that. He went to the market every day to squat.

Today, when he was waiting, Ji Jianyun asked him about buying a shop. Ji Jianyun had decided that he wanted to buy a shop directly. Once there was a shop, there was no need for a stall anymore.

Hearing this, the old man smiled. “You want a shop? That’s no problem. Come with me when you finish selling your things. I’ll show you a place.”

As soon as Ji Jianyun heard that he was willing to help, he quickly sold his products. He came to sell goods so many times, but this time, because he was coming to buy a shop, he didn’t bring much. It disappeared quickly. The people who were in the black of the line complained about how they came from so far for his goods, so why didn’t he just bring more and when would he come back?

Ji Jianyun told them that he was buying a shop in the college town. They could go to the shop to buy his products later, and it would be open every day.

“Young man, that’s great. You should go buy a place in the college town soon. Did you bring enough money? The shops here are not cheap,” an aunt whose hands were full of goods said brightly.

“If I don’t have enough, can I borrow some from aunt?” Ji Jianyun joked.

“That’s not a problem. Just tell me how much you want. But if you come to borrow money from me, I will charge interest. I don’t want anything else besides going to your shop and buying things. You can give me a 20% discount,” the aunt joked back.

Ji Jianyun laughed, “On the opening day, everything in the shop will be sold at a 20% discount. You have to really prepare for it, aunt. It won’t be too long before it happens.”

“Okay, I really need to be prepared. Where is the store?” the aunt said.

“I don’t know, but I will come back in three days and I will tell you about it,” Ji Jianyun said.

Everybody then left.

Now that Ji Jianyunhad sold everything, he took Father Ji with him to buy a shop. He drove Uncle Gao to the shop he had talked about. He waved his hand to tell him to stop. “No, no, I can just walk. My shop is only a few steps away from here.”

Uncle Gao led the way. It was really close to the market. It was a very good shop, and faced the sun. The doors were closed, and it did not have a business.

Father Ji then asked, “Your shop is in a very good spot. You can rent this large place and earn some money. Why don’t you rent it?”

“That little bit of money is not enough. If you rent it out, there will be a lot of things to do. It doesn’t matter if I don’t make a profit,” Uncle Gao explained, and didn’t seem to care.

A few yuan was pretty good in the eyes of ordinary people, but not to him. He was saving himself from worrying about the shop.

“Take a look at this shop. If you think it’s good, we can transfer ownership today. If you don’t want it, it’s fine. I can also ask around about other shops for Jianyun.” Uncle Gao smiled.

Then, he took out the keys. He had a lot. He chose one and opened the shop.

This shop had not been used for a long time. Although it was still good, there was no interior decor.

“It was bought early on. It’s not big. Counting the back courtyard, it’s only 160 square meters,” Uncle Gao said. ·?????*•????•???*? ??????? ??? ?????????? ??? ???? ?? ??x??????.??? ?*•????•???*??·????

“Uncle Gao, how much will you charge for this shop?” Ji Jianyun asked after walking around, feeling very satisfied.

“I think you’ve asked around about the shops in the college town before you came here, right? A lot of people have come to ask me to rent this shop because it’s in a good location. However, I never agreed to do it with them. There’s just too much to do. So if you want it, we don’t have to rent it. You can take the shop for 5,000 yuan. But, you have to promise me that you will give me some honey every season in the future,” Uncle Gao said.

When Father Ji heard the price, he felt a little like cursing. The old man was too quick to speak. 5,000 yuan was almost equivalent to a house.

“Jianyun, do you want a moment to think?” Father Ji asked. He couldn’t watch his own son be swindled.

Ji Jianyun shook his head and said, “5,000 yuan is a fair price from Uncle Gao. It’s not expensive.”

He had two apartments in the college town, so he knew what the price should be.

The apartments in the residential area bought two years ago had increased a lot. The shop was 160 square meters, which was huge. And the owner could stay in the back courtyard. The front area was renovated, so there would be no problems doing business.

“It’s 5,000 yuan, have you brought enough?” Father Ji questioned. It hurt him to ask.

He had never made so much money in his life.

“There’s enough.” Ji Jianyun nodded and said to Uncle Gao, “Uncle Gao, I will definitely give you honey, so don’t sell it to anyone else.”

“Of course.” Uncle Gao grinned and said, “It’ll just be for you, young man. If someone else wants to buy it, it will not be 5,000 yuan. I will not accept it. Just look at how it is so close to the market. Now things are changing and opening up, and the area will grow in the future. Young man, you will definitely be prosperous.”

“If you sell this shop, do you need to discuss it with your family?” Ji Jianyun asked another question.

“No, they all have their own jobs. They don’t care about my shop, and they asked me to sell it.” Uncle Gao waved his hand. “Have you brought your ID? If you have, go home with me and let’s transfer the ownership.”

“Okay!”

The shop matters were handled in this way. It was originally completed at noon, but Ji Jianyun first went to find someone to decorate the shop. Uncle Gao took him to an acquaintance, and it was not very expensive. Ji Jianyun paid a deposit and gave the shop to them to decorate.

He came back with Father Ji.

On the way home, Father Ji asked, “Is it going to be fine?”

“Father, don’t worry. That’s someone Uncle Gao knows. Uncle Gao loves his reputation. The people he knows will not humiliate him,” Ji Jianyun said.

He was going to make a trip there in three days, and he will go to inspect the shop again.

As for the shop’s documentation, he could handle all of it. There was nothing to worry about.
