607 Chapter 607 eating or not eating? (27)
“AH? You still want to go? Well… it’s already time to close the shop. As long as we close the shop here, we won’t do any business. If you want to buy antiques, why don’t You Come Back Tomorrow Morning!”
Kevin saw that Gu Qingchen was going to the next door and thought that Gu Qingchen wanted to go next door to continue buying antiques, so he quickly explained the situation and rules here.
The situation of Europeans and Asians was different, or rather, it was different from the Chinese People’s concept.
In their view, they would not do any business after work, no matter how big the business was, they would not do it.
But the Chinese People’s concept was different from the Europeans. As long as there was business, they would take the initiative to work overtime.
Kevin thought that Gu Qingchen did not know about this, so he told Gu Qingchen.
Gu Qingchen smiled. She indeed did not know about this. However, she did not go there to buy antiques, but for other purposes.
“Let’s go and take a look. We have just settled down here, so we have to meet our neighbors no matter what.”
Kevin Thought for a moment and felt that what Gu Qingchen said made sense, so he nodded and put down the work in his hands.
“Okay, I’ll bring you there. The uncle next door and my father had a good relationship when they were alive. Now that I’ve asked for the shop back, I really need to go and say hello. Let’s Go!”
Kevin walked in front to lead the way, while Gu Qingchen followed behind Kevin.
Kevin could be considered to be familiar with the road. He brought Gu Qingchen into the shop next door. After Gu Qingchen entered, she roughly glanced at the decorations here.
The environment wasn’t bad, but the shop didn’t seem to have much of an aura. It had a quaint aura, which made people not like to shop here.
One had to know that people needed time to shop slowly for antiques. However, this shop didn’t make people in the mood to shop.
No wonder Kevin said that the business of this shop wasn’t very good. She seemed to understand some of the reasons. Perhaps, it was related to the layout. The boss of this shop was really not very good at layout.
However, Gu Qingchen obviously would not tell the boss of this shop, because she had her own purposes.
When Gu Qingchen went over, she saw Kevin chatting with the shop owner. The two seemed to be very familiar with each other, and the atmosphere was not bad.
Seeing Gu Qingchen go over, Kevin introduced Gu Qingchen to the shop owner.
“This is the friend I was talking about. She helped me buy my father’s shop back! Gu Qingchen, this is the shop owner here. You can call him wells.”
Gu Qingchen glanced at Wells. Wells was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked alright, but he did not look very energetic.
“Hello, my name is Gu Qingchen. I’m from China.”
Gu Qingchen gave a brief introduction. Wells was a rather warm uncle. He shook Gu Qingchen’s hand and said, “Hello, you can call me wells. Kevin’s father and I are old friends. I didn’t expect Kevin to really be able to buy his own shop back. This time, it’s all thanks to you! You’re really amazing, I, Wells, Admire You!”
“You must be joking. I happen to think that the antique business is very interesting. Kevin also has his own pursuits, so we hit it off. I thought that since I just bought the shop today, I’d like to come over and meet him.”
Wells nodded, but still said, “Actually… The antique business is not that easy to do. Knowing the trade is one thing, but on the other hand, luck is also very important!”
Gu Qingchen smiled slightly. “Oh? Wells, why do you say that? is luck very important?”
Wells nodded, “Yes, you are still young and don’t know much about the antique business. This business also requires a lot of luck. Not everyone who does this business makes money. Many people who do this business end up losing quite a lot. The people who make money are basically people who know the trade and have good luck. “Sigh! “For my shop, I’m really worried that one day, I’ll be like Kevin’s father and be forcibly bought over!”
Wells seemed to be a little emotional. Perhaps it was because he saw Kevin redeem his shop today, so he was a little emotional.
When Kevin heard this, he was very surprised and asked, “Uncle Wells, why do you say that? is the business in your shop still as bad as before?”
It turned out that Wells’business was not particularly good in the past. When Kevin’s father was still around, he would bring wells along if there was any good business.
But after Kevin’s father passed away, Wells’business became worse and worse. In addition, Wells was a very honest person. He did not like to sell knockoffs to fool people, and he was not good with words. As a result, in the past two years, his business became worse and worse.
“It’s a long story! Anyway, I think my shop… is about to close down. But to see you redeem the shop is also a good thing!”
Although Wells was emotional, he still felt happy for Kevin.
“Then… Uncle Wells, are you really willing to part with this shop?”Kevin expressed that he did not understand. In any case, he could not bear to part with his father’s shop.
Wells was not as persistent as Kevin. After all, they were of different ages and had different ideas about some things.
“Actually, this shop takes up too much of my time. I don’t have time to spend with my family properly. Now that I think about it, it seems that there is no need for me to persist. I might not be suitable for this line of work.”
Gu Qingchen listened to the conversation between Wells and Kevin, but her heart was bursting with joy. She really could get whatever she wanted!
She wanted to come over and see if there was any hope of buying the shop together. In the future, when the two shops were connected, it would be a good place to build a warehouse.
She did not expect to hear that Wells had the intention to sell the shop as soon as she came over.
Wouldn’t that be letting her off easy?
Gu Qingchen was not the kind of person to drag things along. She also asked when she heard Wells’intention.
“Then, Mr. Wells, have you considered selling your shop? If you want to sell it, you can consider me first.”
Wells was stunned for a moment and looked at Gu Qingchen. “You? Didn’t you just buy a shop?”
After all, 500,000 Euros was not a small sum. Wells felt that it was already good enough for Gu Qingchen to buy one.
Gu Qingchen smiled slightly. “Who said that you can’t buy a second shop after buying one? To be honest, I came here today not only to meet the neighbors, but also to ask if you have any intention of selling the shop.”
Kevin was stunned when he heard that. He thought that Gu Qingchen was here to buy antiques or to meet the neighbors, but he didn’t expect that Gu Qingchen actually wanted to buy an antique shop!
Who… who was this Gu Qingchen? How could she be so rich!
