Chapter 1118 The Shop Cannot Be Rented Out

Due to the influx of a large number of people and the need to support the goblins in the early stage, food supply has become a big problem.

In the short term, although as long as it can last for a month or two, the situation will change when the goblins produce something;

But in the long run, as the life of the migrants stabilizes, the population will inevitably increase, and food will become a big problem. The new crops cultivated by sprouts and the output of the goblins alone will not be able to meet the growing population needs in the future.

This is a pretty deadly and tricky question.

Another is that the resources essential for construction, such as wood and stone, began to be in short supply.

Although the land in the Fengrao Plain is fertile, there are few forests and rocks. Most of the usable land has been cut down and mined when Nirvana City is being built.

Now there are only resources produced in the small world, barely maintaining some unfinished construction and maintenance of Nirvana City, but no further expansion and construction can be carried out, making Nirvana City enter a development bottleneck.

Resources such as wood and stone are extremely scarce. In addition to affecting the development of Nirvana City, it also affects the people. Without materials, houses cannot be repaired.

It’s okay if it’s not raining, but when it rains, it’s heavy rain outside and light rain inside. The experience is extremely bad, and as the seasons change, it’s still autumn. Now it’s not too cold at night, but once it’s winter, there will be big problems.

Anyway, there are all kinds of problems that need to be solved, which is disturbing, and busy Wu Yaoyan and others circle around.

After getting married, Chen Fang entered into the ordinary daily life of coquettishly flirting with Wu.

Every day, apart from accompanying Wu Yaoyan and spreading dog food on the road, Chen Fang is at his leisure, nestling in the hero's tomb, not wanting to leave, never leaving the gate, and rarely going to the military camp.

As the days passed, Wu Yaoyan couldn't stand it anymore, and drove the idle Chen Fang out.

Chen Fang, who was kicked out, felt embarrassed seeing how busy everyone was, so he ran around the city's own shops and went door to door to collect the rent.

After marrying Wu Yaoyan, Chen Fang got all the shops before the expansion of Nirvana City, accounting for half of the total number of shops in Nirvana City.

Chen Fang feels that he has become a charterer who is either collecting rent or on the way to collect rent every day.

As a result, after he left, he discovered that he only rented out five shops in the city, four of which were rented to the Wu family, and one to the Daos family. The agreement signed was to pay once a year, which made him Quite depressing.

Seeing people coming and going in other shops and his own shop being vacant, it felt like small money flew out of his pocket, Chen Fang felt distressed for a while.

"Could it be that the rent is set too high, so no one comes to rent?"

Chen Fang's first thought was that the rent was high, so no one came.

But when he saw the notices posted on the entrances of shops of different sizes with different amounts, but the price was not high and very affordable, and he asked nearby shop tenants about the rent of their shops, he was puzzled.

"The rent is similar to that of other shops, so it shouldn't be impossible to rent out."

Standing in front of a medium-sized shop, Chen Fang looked at the monthly rent of only 20 silver coins, and expressed his incomprehension.

So Chen Fang followed the address given in the notice and went to the housing management office that managed his shop leasing business.

When he arrived at the place, Chen Fang was very surprised to see a long queue outside the door, all of which were house management offices of shop lessors.

"I'll go, there are so many people renting shops, why no one rents my shop, it shouldn't be."

Chen Fang walked towards the housing management office very puzzled, ready to go in and ask.

But when he reached the door, Chen Fang was stopped by someone.

"Stop, don't you know how to line up?"

A young guard stopped Chen Fang.

"I'm the owner, I'm not here to rent a house, so don't wait in line." Chen Fang said politely.

The young guard shouted: "I don't care whether you are a wild boar or a leaf boar. If you want to go in, just line up for me."

Let me tell you, the owner, it’s fine if you don’t understand, what a wild boar.

Chen Fang's head was full of black lines.

Looking at the long queue in embarrassment, Chen Fang pointed to his face, which is generally recognizable by ordinary people, and said, "You really don't know me?"

The guard sized Chen Fang up and said, "I don't know you, don't get too close to me. Say it again, go behind the queue and don't stand in the way. Don't blame me for being rude."

Face brushing failed, Chen Fang was depressed.

How come no one knows.

He is also the commander of the Nirvana Army, and the stepfather of Xiaobai, the lord of the city.

Well, it should be because our status is too high. It is not surprising that ordinary people and low-level workers don't recognize this face.

In desperation, Chen Fang, who has always been very qualified, had no choice but to leave and queue at the back.

After walking a few steps, a middle-aged man with a wretched appearance came up to him.

"Little brother, are you in a hurry to go in and grab the shop? I have connections."

Chen Fang didn't intend to pay attention to the tone of an old "scalper" at first, but he changed his mind after noticing the middle-aged man's words.

"I want to go in, but why do you want to rob the shop? There are thousands of empty shops in the city that are not rented out. Don't worry."

Chen Fang pretended not to care.

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "The little brother is a new citizen from the southern border."

"kindness."

Chen Fang responded vaguely.

"I knew that if I were an old city citizen, I wouldn't say that."

"What's the meaning?"

"The empty shops you mentioned, do they all have this weird word printed on the door?"

The middle-aged man squatted down and wrote the word "Chen" on the ground.

Chen Fang was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't notice that all the way to find his own shop, he followed the address list given by Wu Yaoyan.

"Maybe, I didn't pay much attention." Chen Fang said.

"It's not far from ten. Except for some newly built shops in the city, all other shops that have not been rented out have this word on the door."

"If you are interested in a shop with such a mark, I advise you to give up your thoughts."

"What's the point? Can't it be rented? It's not right, there is a notice for rent at the door of the store."

"Of course I can rent it, but I'm afraid you can't afford it."

"How is it possible? The rent is not all written on the notice. I have compared the rents of nearby shops, and the rent is only a little bit higher, but the location of the shop is good, and the high price is reasonable."

"Hehe, your words are correct, but do you know who owns that shop?"

Chen Fang said shamelessly: "I heard that it belongs to a very powerful person, but I don't know exactly who it is."

Middle-aged man: "Yes, he is the invincible Marshal Chen of our Nirvana Army. Those shops are all his."

When Chen Fang heard the middle-aged man say that he was invincible, he felt so happy and very proud.

"Oh, it belongs to Marshal Chen, but what does this have to do with me not being able to rent it? Could it be that the rent stated in his notice is false, and when he actually wanted to rent it, the contract stated higher?" Chen Fang thought of something, Said deliberately.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "That's not true, the rent is still the rent."

"Then why do you say I can't afford to rent? Is it because there is a fee?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Most of the shops of the Marshal are located in the center of the city, and the locations are very good, and because it is the Marshal's shop, it means that they have protection in disguise, and they are not afraid of people making trouble."

Having said that, the middle-aged man paused.

And Chen Fang nodded when he heard it, agreeing to the middle-aged man's blessing.

With a shop with its own name on its head, there should be no unreasonable door-to-door troubles.

If there is someone who is not afraid of death, I will definitely stand out, otherwise, who will rent a shop in the future, and how can I earn rent.

The middle-aged man looked around and continued in a low voice:

"So if you want to rent, you have to pay the housing management office a considerable introduction fee, and every month you have to take another 20% of the monthly profit as a protection fee."

"What, protection fee!" Chen Fang lost his voice.

Chen Fang didn't care about the introduction fee. The housing management office should create income for him. As for whether it was public or private, Chen Fang would not be too busy here, and had his own rules.

But this protection fee is too much, and it actually requires 20% of the tenant's monthly profit.

"The introduction fee and protection fee, do other shops have it?" Chen Fang asked.

The middle-aged man shook his head: "No."

No wonder no one is willing to rent my shop. This is an introduction fee and a protection fee. Who would take advantage of it.

Hey, no, it seems that there are really two.

"Could it be that this protection fee was given...to Marshal Chen?" Chen Fang asked.

Middle-aged man: "How is that possible? The housing management office collected it."

"Ah, how dare they do this, aren't they afraid that Marshal Chen will find out and make trouble for them?"

"Hehe, the problem is that Marshal Chen doesn't know, and even if he knows, what can he do? Just send the money up. Could it be that Marshal Chen still refuses?" The middle-aged man curled his lips and said.

"Oh, I won't refuse." Chen Fang asked himself.

Nonsense, who dislikes a lot of money, let alone a person who needs krypton gold after walking for a long time.

But Chen Fang is not stupid, with these two obstacles in the way, no one will rent his shop, and the rent can't be collected, let alone the protection fee.

"But they are arbitrarily advocating, so that the commander-in-chief's shop cannot be rented out, are they not afraid that the commander-in-chief will blame him?" Chen Fang said.

The middle-aged man shrugged and said, "Then I don't know, I'm not from their housing management office."

"Okay, little brother, brother, I've spent so much saliva with you, do you want to go in after you fall to the ground?"

Chen Fang thought for a while, and felt that it was necessary to go to the housing management office to learn more about some things, so he said, "Then how do you charge and how much do you want?"

The middle-aged man held out a finger.

"A copper coin? It's so cheap, my good conscience."

Chen Fang took out a copper coin and happily stuffed it into the middle-aged man's hand, praising him as a conscientious scalper.

The middle-aged man looked at the copper coin in his hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Little brother, have you misunderstood something? No matter how cheap the labor is, it can't be paid for with a mere copper coin."

Cut, not perfunctory.

Chen Fang took out a silver coin in distress, turned his face away, and put the money into the middle-aged man's hand with a distressed look like a cat mother delivering a cub.

"Okay, okay, you greedy scalpers, you got your wish."

"..."

The middle-aged man looked at the silver coin on his palm and was very depressed. He had met Lao Cai, but he did not give up.

"Little brother, you have to know that if you want to stand out from the same group of competitors in this world, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity and be one step ahead of others."

"For this step, I believe many people are willing to pay a high price."

"Are you saying I'm right?"

There was nothing wrong with what the middle-aged man said, Chen Fang naturally nodded in approval.

"And I can help you get this step right now. Before the shops in the city are rented out by others, I will help you to rent the shops before others, so that you can save a lot of time and start your business faster. Earning the first pot of gold and avoiding you queuing, you may encounter the trouble of not being able to rent a shop, you say that I want you a gold coin is not too much."

Chen Fang nodded, and said bluntly: "Why not too much, it's too much, one gold coin is the living expenses of an ordinary family for two months, even if you open a shop, you can't earn one gold coin a month. It’s too dark to get a gold coin in just one way.”

Seeing Chen Fang nodding, the middle-aged man thought that his words were recognized, and the business would be successful in the future, but Chen Fang's next words made him foolish.

It's too much, why are you nodding.

The middle-aged man wanted to give up but was unwilling when he saw that Chen Fangyouyan was not coming in, because he hadn't opened for two days, and now he didn't have enough money for a meal at night. If he had no income, he would have to beg for food.

"Okay, okay, I'm convinced, give me eighty silver coins, and I'll take you in."

"Two silver coins."

"Little brother, you cut the price too hard. I dropped twenty silver coins, and you only added one silver coin. It's too much."

"What's too much, I doubled the price, but you only reduced it by 20%, whoever is too much."

"It can be the same. My base number is higher than yours, okay? Forget it. I'll make troubles because of the quarrel. I'll drop it again with my sincerity. It's fifty silver coins. Anyway, I've already lowered it by half. It's enough sincerity."

"Hmph, businessmen are all treacherous people. If you can reduce half of the business, you can reduce half of it again. What's more, this is a business without capital, with a maximum of five silver coins."

"Little brother, how can there be such a bargain, no, ten silver coins, no less."

"Although this is indeed a business without capital, the risk is very high. If the people in the housing management office know that I have broken the rules and give it away secretly, I will not be able to stay in Nirvana City."

Even if the middle-aged man said seriously, Chen Fang still couldn't give it at his price.

"Seven silver coins, if there is more, I will go."

"Nine silver coins, no matter how little it is, I would rather give up this business."

"make a deal."

In the end, Chen Fang painstakingly added eight silver coins, and forcibly took back the copper coin from the middle-aged man, and the deal was reached.

"Really, it's just a copper coin, and I'm ashamed to go back."

Amidst the disdainful chatter of the middle-aged man, Chen Fang followed him to a wooden fence in the alley next to the housing management office.

"Here, you go in from here, remember, don't run around after entering, look around if there is no one, if there is no one, get up again, go to the left and you will see a small door, go in and you will reach the rental hall. "The middle-aged man moved the board and pointed to a hole in the wall.

"..."

Chen Fang looked at the hole, his face darkened.

"Are you kidding me, earning my money, and letting me go through dog holes, is this your way?"

"What kind of dog hole, I dug it out bit by bit, okay?"

The middle-aged man curled his lips and said, "Anyway, I've given you a solution. It's up to you whether to drill or not. I will never refund the money to you."

Yo, this is strong buying and strong selling.

Chen Fang is not used to it.

"Sine."

Chen Fang knocked the middle-aged man unconscious with one punch, found ten silver coins from him, jumped onto the wall and jumped in.

After a while, the middle-aged man woke up from a coma, and hurriedly touched his pockets, only to find that the only property left on his body had been taken away, and tears came down.
