Chapter 164: Clear the Area
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Leng Rongrong looked at the bustling scene of the entire street in disbelief and followed Mo Linyuan into a few shops to take a look.
Every shop was bustling to an unbelievable degree.
Of course, when Mo Linyuan appeared, all the shopkeepers were very respectful to him. They cleared out all the customers in the shop so that Leng Rongrong could shop with Mo Linyuan alone.
“You don’t have to do this, right?” Leng Rongrong’s heart ached for the customers who had been driven out. From the looks of those customers, they were all eager to buy something.
“Young Mistress, it’s alright. Today’s sales quota has already exceeded the limit. Most of the merchandise will not be sold anymore,” a fat shopkeeper said with a smile.
“What do you mean by exceeding the limit? You won’t sell anymore if the limit is met?” Leng Rongrong asked curiously as she looked around the shop.
“It’s a marketing tactic. The more unavailable something is, the more people will want to buy it. I’m using this method here. Once the daily sales reach a certain level, I won’t continue to sell. The shop next door even closes at two or three o’clock.”
The fat shopkeeper explained to Leng Rongrong with a smile on his face.
Leng Rongrong was suddenly enlightened.
Then, Mo Linyuan said, “These shops are all hers. You can take whatever you want.”
Leng Rongrong shook her head. Since she did not need to spend money, she had no interest in buying.
After a round of shopping, they were ready to leave the shop. The door of the shop opened, and the people outside rushed in madly. Some people even asked why Leng Rongrong could shop inside and why they were locked outside. The shop was treating them differently.
Mo Linyuan pulled Leng Rongrong into his arms and protected her.
......
Leng Rongrong was protected by the crowd, and no one could touch her.
When the fat shopkeeper heard the surrounding questions, he smiled and said, “If you were the owner, I would treat you the same.”
That one sentence made all the customers look at Leng Rongrong and Mo Linyuan.
Everyone was surprised to see Leng Rongrong at such a young age.
Their eyes were filled with envy.
“She looks so young, but she’s actually the owner of such a popular store.”
“It’s not just this shop, right? I heard that the entire street has the same owner…”
“Really? The entire Fengyun Street is hers?”
“He’s too rich…”
“That’s amazing. No one was willing to come to Fengyun Street in the past, but it’s so popular now. I heard that it’s because the owner has a good eye for people.”
“The owner is a young and beautiful lady!”
******
Everyone was in a heated discussion. They thought it was amazing that Leng Rongrong was able to buy the originally dilapidated Fengyun Street in one fell swoop.
In fact, the news that Leng Rongrong had bought the entire street had already spread.
However, when everyone first heard that someone had bought the entire Fengyun Street, they all thought that the person who bought it was a spendthrift and an extremely stupid person.
If she bought such a lousy place, wouldn’t she have too much money to spend?
She would definitely lose money if she bought it. If she wanted to buy something, she should buy a better location!
Everyone said that this pig head had been ripped off very miserably. The original shop owners had no way to transfer their shops, but now, all of them had been bought by a spendthrift.
At that time, Leng Rongrong had been laughed at very miserably.
Everyone was not optimistic about her chances and felt that she would definitely be in tears in the end.
It was impossible to recoup their losses.
In the end, in just a few months, everyone was slapped in the face.
The shop owners, who had been overjoyed earlier, instantly wanted to cry but had no tears.
The previously quiet Fengyun Street had suddenly become popular. At this rate, their original shops could make a lot of money just by opening them.
In the end, they didn’t earn anything. It was a huge loss.
At that time, they had thought that the person who had bought so many shops was a fool. In this kind of location, they didn’t even want to sell at a low price. They had sold them all at a high price.
Only now did they know that they were idiots and that they had lost a lot of money.
In fact, many of the original shop owners had already felt that they had suffered a loss. They felt that they had lost too much by selling their shops at such a low price.
It didn’t take long for the price of the shops to rise to an incredible level.
Therefore, some shops had already come over to make trouble.
Of course, they were all sent away by the shopkeeper. After all, the owner was not present, and they were only working for her. There was nothing the previous shop owners could do to make trouble with them.
Leng Rongrong was escorted out of the shop by Mo Linyuan.
Then, they went to the other shops.
Because there were too many people, every time they entered a shop, Mo Linyuan would ask the shopkeeper to clear the shop before they continued.
Most of the items on this street were antiques.
Leng Rongrong looked around, then chose two pieces. The shopkeeper was shocked to the extreme.
The shopkeeper wore a long robe and round-rimmed glasses. It was said that he had been in the antique business for a long time. He used to set up a stall in a flea market. His business was profitable, and he was very eloquent.
However, he later sold a fake to a big shot in Beijing, and the person believed him and thought that the fake was genuine. Then, the big shot met an archaeologist who immediately saw through the scam.
It was fine if it was a counterfeit. The key was that the thing was fake and not realistic at all. Anyone with eyes could tell that it was fake at first glance, but the big shot was fooled into believing it.
This big shot had been laughed at by many people and felt very embarrassed, so he came back to find the shopkeeper and made the shopkeeper go bankrupt.
When he was at his lowest, Mo Linyuan had invited him to this shop to be the shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Wu was just as eloquent as before. He was a first-class expert in doing business.
His business here was also a superhit every day.
Shopkeeper Wu looked at the two items in Leng Rongrong’s hands. He couldn’t help but compliment her.
“Powerful?” Leng Rongrong looked at the string of beads in her hand and asked, “What’s so powerful about it?”
“Young Mistress, you managed to pick out the only two authentic items in my shop with just a glance.” Manager Wu pushed up his glasses and shook his head. “That’s incredible. Do you know about these things?”
“No, I just randomly chose it. It just looks pleasing to the eye,” Leng Rongrong said disapprovingly, “What’s the point of these two things?”
“This is a string of tourmaline beads. It’s a little old, and every bead is worth a city. Especially the blue one, it’s especially precious…”
The shopkeeper introduced the item in Leng Rongrong’s hand to her.
