Chapter 413 Planning
Yu Ruyue looked at the deserted and half-dead shops inside.
"What do the shops here do?"
"Is there any food for sale?"
Shen Zhiheng shook his head. "No, the food shops are mostly on the main street. The shops here either sell sundries or alcohol."
"But even good wine needs a bush, so business isn't that good."
Yu Ruyue nodded. "If I buy all the shops in this alley, how much money will it cost?"
Shen Zhiheng looked surprised. "You actually want to buy all these shops? I'm afraid it will be difficult. Although these people's businesses are not very good, they can still make a living and pass them down for a long time."
"I know, but how can I know if I don't try?"
"How do you want to do it?"
"I want to turn this street into a food and entertainment street, so that the shops on both sides will not only sell food, but also serve as entertainment venues. Anyone who wants to go out for fun will think of this place first, so there will be no need to worry about this location being out of the way."
"It's best to buy the houses next door as well. By then, the prices of houses here will also skyrocket!"
Shen Zhiheng pursed his lips, but finally advised, "Ruyue! I know you have your own ideas, but let's consider the actual situation now. The war hasn't subsided yet, and the people are worried every day. How can they have the energy to go out and have fun?"
“Even the places selling food on the main street are a bit desolate.”
Yu Ruyue patted his shoulder confidently and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee that this can be done."
Shen Jiaojiao also had a bit of worry on her face, but seeing Ruyue's expression, she was no longer afraid!
"Ruyue must have your reasons for doing this. So I will go with you to find those shopkeepers and discuss the matter of selling the store."
Yu Ruyue smiled and nodded, and the two of them walked towards the shop hand in hand. However, they were stopped by Shen Zhiheng after just two steps.
He said helplessly, "Forget it! Since you want to do it so much, I can't stop you. I'll go and talk to you about the store, and you don't have to show up."
"Qin Guoan is keeping a close eye on you right now. If you show up, he'll send someone to take you away by force. Furthermore, the commander of Qingtian Prefecture is the Duke of Huguo's man. If he finds out, he'll definitely send you to Kyoto to ask for a reward."
Yu Ruyue nodded. To save her own life, she didn't try to intervene. Shen Zhiheng didn't go out in person either. He called Liuguang over and said, "Go find Lin Yihao! Have him come forward to negotiate with these shops."
Yu Ruyue was puzzled. "Lin Yihao!? Is he still in Qingtian Prefecture? What? Did he go to work at the pawnshop?"
Shen Zhiheng smiled gently, "No, wasn't he acting as the prefect of Qingtian Prefecture before? Because he did a good job, and because of my strong support, he is now the official prefect of Qingtian Prefecture."
Yu Ruyue's face was filled with surprise. "Really? This chatterbox actually became a high-ranking official."
"That's nice, but don't use force to coerce others. If you can give more money, then give more."
"The money will be earned back later anyway."
Shen Zhiheng nodded, "Don't worry, he is very powerful now, and he really loves the people like his own children."
Seeing that the purchase of the shops had been settled, Yu Ruyue turned her attention back to these four shops. She had decided to completely change the layout of this place.
She had already made plans to turn the shops on the left and right sides of the intersection into a hot pot restaurant and a barbecue restaurant respectively. These two foods had strong flavors and could better attract customers. Next to the hot pot restaurant, she would build a shop specializing in selling fried chicken, hamburgers, and French fries.
A store selling a variety of stir-fried dishes will be built across the street, and all the popular dishes will be concentrated in this store.
All my shops inside will be renovated and turned into small storefronts, just like the places that sell Zhengxin Chicken Steak and Mixue Ice City, with all the food displayed out in the open.
For example, they sell seaweed rice rolls, hawthorn cakes and sour jujube cakes, and various pastries. The further you go inside, the lighter the taste of the food. In the middle, there is a milk tea shop with iced drinks separating them. Further inside, they sell some groceries, such as toothbrushes or things for women, ointments, soaps, hand-pinch fans and other strange things.
The last four remaining shops on the left and right will be dismantled and rebuilt.
It was turned into a large theater, with many seats on the first floor. For just a few cents, people could sit down and watch the show. Upstairs, there were several independent private rooms.
And next to it, there is a passage specially designed for these distinguished guests, so that they can skip the first floor and go directly to the 2nd and 3rd floors to their own private rooms. In this room, not only can they call someone in to interpret the play for them, but there are also various seasonal fruits as well as poker, mahjong, billiards, table tennis and other things for them to play.
She just doesn't believe that this street isn't popular!
She dared to guarantee that as long as these people spent some money and came to the theater once, she could guarantee that the stories in the theater would definitely keep them here.
The East Courtyard tells male stories to men, and the West Courtyard tells female stories to women.
Add to that the four great classics and all those modern things, I don’t believe that these ancient people were not fascinated to death!
It sounds like a good idea, but it is difficult to put into practice. For example, this shop has not been bought for five days.
At the Li Mansion, Qin Wanrou struggled to sit up and looked at the person kneeling below with an angry face.
"What did you say?"
"Lin Yihao actually wants to buy my shop? What does that mean?"
"Even though my grocery stores aren't making any money, he can't force me to buy. I'm going to go over and ask him! What's he doing without saying a word?"
Lin Yihao, who was originally holding his head with some worries, heard the report from his subordinates and quickly asked someone to bring Qin Wanrou in. As a result, Qin Wanrou sat next to him very rudely as soon as she came in.
"Mr. Lin! What's wrong with you? You actually want to buy the two grocery stores under my command? You even want to buy them no matter how much more it costs? You're forcing them to buy you."
"No! You're a prefect, why would you buy so many shops? That's an entire street of shops! Do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it, or do you have other plans?"
Lin Yihao fanned himself helplessly, "Oh, my sister Wanrou! Why are you coming to me so angrily? I'm just following orders."
Qin Wanrou raised her eyebrows. "You've become such a high-ranking official now. Who in Qingtian Prefecture can still boss you around?"
Lin Yihao closed his fan and knocked on the table helplessly, "Who else could it be?"
"General Shen."
"What? General Shen is back! What about Ruyue?"
Lin Yihao sighed deeply, "This is also what worries me. I don't know whether Ruyue will come back or not, but Shen Chou has two women around him, and they are behaving intimately."
