Niu Bi nodded: "Okay, Dad, let's go and have a look together." Then he turned to Ma Min and said: "Mom, Aunt Wu, Yuyan, I'll take you back first. Dad and I will be back before lunch."

The three girls nodded one after another, and Ma Min asked: "Bibi, what do you want to eat at noon?"

"Hehe, there are so many dishes left over from the past two days! Just heat them up." Niu Bi smiled, then closed the stall, drove the three girls home, and then took Niu Xin to the nearby commercial street to look at the storefronts.

Haitian's commercial streets are divided into three directions: south, middle and north. The most prosperous area is in the middle, because it can connect the north and the south, and the passenger flow is naturally large. The second is North Street, because there are more rich people in North Street and the consumption level is higher. The worst is South Street. Although there are many people, the per capita consumption level is limited. However, the mass goods market here is very large. People in South Street are more calculating in their consumption and buy whatever is cheaper.

Because Niu Bi's mutton has a natural advantage in price, and the taste of mutton is very delicious, Niu Bi is not afraid of not having a hot business.

However, considering that Zhang the Butcher's meat stall is also on South Street, although the distance is relatively far, competition is inevitable, which is not what Niu Bi wants to see, so Niu Bi plans to have a good talk with Zhang the Butcher during this period to discuss the cooperation of the meat stall. In fact, it is also simple. Niu Bi plans to cooperate with Zhang the Butcher in the form of a chain store, and then unify the meat price. Zhang the Butcher will give Niu Bi some franchise fees. I believe that Zhang the Butcher will not object. After all, Niu Bi holds the source of meat. If there is a quarrel, Zhang the Butcher will suffer a great loss.

Niu Bi does not care about friendship and face. In Niu Bi's view, friendship is friendship, and business is business. The two cannot be confused. Brothers should settle accounts clearly! Not to mention that Zhang the Butcher has no kinship with Niu Bi, Niu Bi will be even less polite.

Niu Bi and Niu Xin walked around the nearby commercial street, discussed the location and the size of the storefront, and finally set their sights on a storefront for rent near the intersection.

This storefront faces south and north, has two floors, two doors on the left and right, and is about 80 square meters. Both the location and size meet Niu Bi's requirements.

There was a contact number posted in front of the closed door. Niu Bi called the number and was quickly connected.

"Who is it?" It sounded like a young man, with a lazy voice and a bit of ruffian.

Niu Bi said: "Excuse me, is this store next to the intersection of xx Street the one you want to rent?"

"Yes! That's right, it's me." When he heard that he wanted to rent a house, the voice on the phone became much more excited: "Do you want to rent it?"

"Haha, if you don't want to rent it, I won't call you. My surname is Niu, sir, what's your surname!"

"Don't worry, your surname is Tao, do you want to talk now?" The man surnamed Tao was even more impatient than Niu Bi.

Niu Bi's heart moved, and he laughed: "Okay! But should we have a face-to-face meeting? Does Mr. Tao have time now?"

"Yes, yes, how about this! There is a restaurant next to my store, how about we talk there?" said the man surnamed Tao.

Niu Bi looked around and saw that there was indeed a restaurant called "Hao Zai Lai". It has four floors and is well decorated. It is a big restaurant and the consumption should not be cheap.

Niu Bi blinked and smiled, "Okay, when will Mr. Tao arrive?"

"Five minutes, guaranteed."

"Okay, I'll wait for Mr. Tao in Hao Zai Lai, see you later."

"Okay, okay, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Niu Xin asked, "Bi Bi, how is it?"

Niu Bi smiled and said, "We've agreed to meet at the Hao Zai Lai restaurant next door. Dad, let's go in and wait!"

"Here?" Niu Xin looked at Hao Zai Lai and frowned, "Is this a big restaurant? Could it be that the guy still wants to treat him to a meal before the deal is done?"

Niu Bi laughed and said, "Isn't this just right! When you meet someone who likes to take advantage of others, your son has plenty of ways to deal with him. Dad, don't feel bad about this little money. If the deal doesn't work out, who will spend it?"

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Niu Xin knew that his son was cunning, so he let him be. Besides, with the current speed at which the Niu family makes money, they really don't care about the cost of this meal.

It was not meal time yet, so there were few people in the restaurant. Niu Bi did not ask for a private room, so he sat down on the four-person seat against the wall on the right side of the first floor. The waiter came over and smiled: "What would you like to eat?"

"Don't worry, we are waiting for someone. Please give us a pot of tea first." Niu Bi said.

The waiter smiled and said: "Okay."

Seeing that the waiter's service was still thoughtful, Niu Xin sighed: "After all, it is a big hotel, the service is really good."

"Dad, don't compare it with those family restaurants. The service of restaurants in the city is good now."

Niu Bi used to go to restaurants with some friends occasionally, and knew whether the service of the restaurant was good or not. Niu Xin, on the other hand, was honest, not good at socializing, and had few friends. Moreover, because he had no money, he could not go to restaurants in the city to eat, so he didn't know about these things.

After the waiter brought a pot of tea, Niu Bi and Niu Xin were drinking it when a flashy gangster came to the door. Niu Xin was surprised when he saw him and said, "They don't charge protection fees here!"

Niu Bi turned his head and looked at the young man. He had messy stool-colored shoulder-length hair, flashy clothes, a look of excessive drinking and sex, a scruffy beard, and was not tall, only a little over 1.7 meters tall. He was very thin, not much thicker than a stick. No matter how you look at him, he looked like the bad friends Niu Bi had known before, all of them were gangsters.

After the young man came in, he looked around, his eyes paused on Niu Bi and Niu Xin's faces, and then turned to other places, as if he was looking for someone.

Seeing this, Niu Bi smiled slightly and stood up: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Tao?"

Hearing Niu Bi's voice, the young man's eyes lit up, a blush appeared on his pale face, and he walked over: "It's me, Mr. Niu?"

"Haha, Mr. Tao, you've kept us waiting for a long time, please take a seat." Niu Bi shook hands with the young man, motioned the young man to sit down and talk, and then said to the waiter: "Waiter, bring the menu."

Seeing Niu Bi so generous, a trace of joy flashed across the young man's face, and he hurriedly said politely: "Mr. Niu, you're too polite, how can we have a good meal when the deal hasn't been concluded yet."

"Mr. Tao, what are you talking about? Whether it's successful or not, we still have to eat this meal. Since Mr. Tao is embarrassed, I'll take over." Niu Bi smiled, took the menu handed over by the waiter, and took a casual look. Almost every dish cost more than 50 yuan, and the most expensive one was more than 1,000 yuan. The annotation was that it was Beijing roast duck roasted by a roast duck master hired by Beijing Quanjude at a high salary.

"Mr. Tao, do you like meatier dishes? Or lighter ones?" Niu Bi asked.

"Ah, that, let's have something meaty! Just a little bit of vegetarian food will do." The young man said.

Can't help it! Niu Bi smiled in his heart and said to the waiter: "Give me a Peking duck, three meat dishes and one vegetable dish, which are your signature dishes." At this point, Niu Bi asked the young man: "What would you like to drink, Mr. Tao?"

The young man couldn't help swallowing his saliva at this time, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, no, I drove here, just give me some drinks!"

"Okay!" Niu Bi smiled and handed the menu to the waiter: "Another bucket of fruit juice, thank you."

"Okay." Seeing that Niu Bi ordered expensive things, the waiter smiled brightly: "Wait a moment, three of you."

After the waiter left, Niu Bi poured a cup of tea for the young man, and the young man hurriedly held it in his hands: "Mr. Niu is so polite, thank you."

"Mr. Tao, you're welcome." Niu Bi smiled slightly, but Niu Xin next to him looked painful. He just glanced at the menu inadvertently and saw the prices on it. Niu Bi threw more than two thousand yuan in one breath, which was really a waste of money.

"Where did Mr. Niu make his fortune?" The young man drank a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

Niu Bi smiled and said, "It's not that I'm rich. I'm a butcher, a small business."

"Oh, haha, selling meat is not bad! Selling meat makes a lot of money these days. What kind of meat does Mr. Niu sell?" the young man asked.

"Beef and mutton are basically what ordinary people eat. This time I talked to Mr. Tao about the storefront because I want to open a butcher shop. I think Mr. Tao's storefront is very good, but I don't know how much it costs?" Niu Bi smiled.

"The price is easy to negotiate. Mr. Niu has also seen the location and area of my storefront. It has two floors, and it costs 10,000 yuan per month." The young man laughed.

"Ten thousand!?" Niu Xin was shocked: "This is too high!"

Seeing Niu Xin calling it expensive, the young man asked, "Mr. Niu, who is this?"

"It's my father." Niu Bi smiled.

"Oh, it turns out to be my uncle. I'm so sorry, so sorry." The young man hurriedly said politely.

Niu Xin shook his head: "Mr. Tao, your rent is too high. After all, it's a storefront on South Street. I think five thousand yuan a month is the limit."

Niu Xin said the truth. People living in South Street are basically low- and middle-income groups, and housing prices are relatively cheap, so the rent of the storefront is also relatively cheap. Judging from the storefront of the youth, four or five thousand a month is enough, and ten thousand yuan is definitely a rip-off.

The youth smiled when he heard this: "Uncle, I don't think ten thousand yuan is high. For a big business like you, you can make hundreds of thousands a month. Why would you care about ten thousand yuan?"

"How can there be so much..."

Niu Xin wanted to argue, but Niu Bi raised his hand to interrupt Niu Xin, looked at the youth, and smiled slightly: "Mr. Tao, your rent is indeed high. I absolutely cannot accept ten thousand yuan, so I want to try another way. I wonder what Mr. Tao thinks?"

"What way?" The youth was puzzled.

Niu Bi took a sip of tea and smiled: "Mr. Tao, do you want to sell this store?"

When the young man heard that Niu Bi was interested in buying it, his eyes lit up immediately, but then he straightened his face and coughed dryly: "Well, Mr. Niu, this store is the only legacy my father left me, so I won't sell it."

"I see, then..." Niu Bi sighed and was about to adopt the third plan. Unexpectedly, the young man saw Niu Bi sighing and thought that Niu Bi was going to give up, so he hurriedly said: "But if Mr. Niu is really sincere, it is not impossible to talk."

"Oh?" Niu Bi glanced at the young man and laughed: "Then I wonder what Mr. Tao's psychological price is?"

"Cough..." The young man coughed dryly and said: "Mr. Niu, my store is 80.15 square meters, divided into two floors. If Mr. Niu really wants to buy it, the price is - 2 million."
