EP035. Ancient One

There is a saying that planning is not as fast as changing.

I had already discussed it with the landlord, and the other party agreed to Shi Xiaolei to renovate the store. However, just a few days before Shi Xiaolei was about to contact the construction team and was about to close the business and rectify, the landlord suddenly found the store and said something in a dilemma.

I won’t mention what the matter is. In short, something happened to the landlord’s family and needed capital turnover. In order to raise money, he had to make the decision to sell the house.

But Shi Xiaolei and the landlord have always had a good relationship. With mutual trust, they did not sign a written contract on the renovation of the store.

So, things have twists and turns here - if the landlord sells the store to others, it is a problem whether others will continue to ask Shi Xiaolei to renew the lease. If he takes a step back, even if he is willing to rent it to him, he may not be allowed to upgrade the store.

Looking for another storefront? Or...

The neighbors are already familiar with each other, and they are a little reluctant to move away now. The reputation of this store has been made, and they suddenly change to a new address, and maybe they want to lose a lot of regular customers. In addition, the landlord is very real, and the purpose of selling the house is not to make money. There is no water in the price of the sale... After a few days of consideration, Shi Xiaolei gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and simply bought it out of his own money.

Houses are not expensive, land is expensive.

I only spent 3.68 million yuan to buy a new house before. That's because Shi Xiaolei only bought one floor, which was converted into the property rights of the land, and he only accounted for one-sixth of it.

Now, I bought the house and the land together. At this price, it is not comparable to buying a floor.

The floor area ratio of popular areas in first-tier cities in the international world has always been outrageously high. For example, the floor area ratio in many places in Hong Kong generally exceeds 10.0.

On Manhattan Island, the relevant data are only high or low.

In other words, the land price is at least ten times the housing price.

Even the shops in front and the living area behind them, which add up to nearly 400 square meters. Compared with the average house price of 11,000 to 13,000 per square meter in the area, Shi Xiaolei must prepare at least 45 million US dollars if he wants to buy this land from the landlord.

This does not count the price of the house.

Think about it carefully, selling gems to Stark only earned 50 million yuan. Including the 3.68 million yuan spent on buying a house, a portion of the living money was left to decorate the home. In addition, the expenses of adding furniture and appliances to the home and renovating the store... Even if the 1.5 million yuan I saved at the beginning was only enough.

Maybe he has to borrow some money, maybe not. In any case, Shi Xiaolei has to pay every penny in his pocket to make up enough money and complete the transaction with the landlord. This is the reason why this decision was so difficult.

After all, Shi Xiaolei is not a Chinese born in the United States, so he still retains the habit of Chinese people. If there is no money in the bank account to respond, he will always feel a little silly.

"Oh." Lie on the table, writing and drawing for a while, the numbers calculated were still the same.

Putting down his pen, stretching, and looking back at Kang Na and 2B's room, who had turned off the lights, Shi Xiaolei stood up and walked into the bathroom gently.

Turning on the faucet, washing your face, and looking at yourself in the mirror, Shi Xiaolei raised his hand and patted his cheek: "Please cheer up and don't be discouraged. Isn't it just money? It's not impossible to make money. Be more active, Shi Xiaolei, you can do it. After all, you just don't have any spare money and don't owe debts yet, and your situation is not bad."

I added some oil to myself and felt a little relaxed.

I remembered the last purchase of SHIELD, which has almost half a month passed. Thinking that they might come to buy another batch of goods in a few days, and then they can get another account. Shi Xiaolei finally showed a smile on his face and he also added some confidence in his heart.

After pulling a towel and drying the water stains on his face. After calming down his mood, Shi Xiaolei turned around and planned to go to the kitchen to get a thermos bottle, soak his feet before going to bed.

Just as he turned around and faced the living room, a sparkling orange-red aperture suddenly appeared in front of him.

"!!!"

As a time traveler, he was already familiar with this movement and could no longer be familiar with it. As soon as he saw the aperture, Shi Xiaolei widened his eyes and a wake-up call sounded in his heart.

‘What should I do if the boss is here? Could it be that the identity of the time traveler has been exposed and has attracted her dissatisfaction?’

‘It shouldn’t be. If it were just because of the identity of a time traveler, she would have come to the door long ago. If she said so... it wasn’t that because I interfered with the battle between Stark and the Iron King, which disrupted the original timeline, that she was targeted?’

‘What should I do, what should I do? I won’t be exiled, right?’

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. Shi Xiaolei fell into a stiff state, as if he had returned to the barbarian's hometown and was frozen into a statue by the cold wind on the top of Mount Arite.

"Hello." The one who appeared in front of Shi Xiaolei was indeed the supreme mage who was known as the ceiling of the combat power of the Marvel Universe Earth.

He was not tall and not tall, and there was a faint smile on his face, but the psychological pressure she caused to Shi Xiaolei was indeed like a mountain, which made him feel a little breathless.

"Ha, hello~." Shi Xiaolei raised his hand so restrainedly, grinning and squeezed out an ugly smile.

Gu Yi nodded with a smile, raised his right hand and waved it gently.

The floors, walls, ceilings, and various furniture and furnishings in the interior all seemed to have suddenly come alive.

A flip, fold, an extremely fantastic, but very realistic scene was revealed in front of Shi Xiaolei.

Knowing that this was the reaction when expanding the mirror space, Shi Xiaolei's eyes twitched unconsciously twice.

"The little guy is still growing, and the quality of sleep is very important. It is best not to disturb her." He took a step forward and came to Shi Xiaolei, pointing to Kang Na's room, which was no longer in the same dimension. Gu Yi smiled a little mischievously: "And, if she makes trouble, it will be very troublesome to pack up, right?"

"…..." I don't know how to deal with it, but after holding it in for several seconds, Shi Xiaolei only squeezed out one sentence: "Who are you?"

Still a little luck.

"Haha." Gu Yi shook his head gently, with a smile on his face of 'I've seen through everything': "Locke, do you know who I am."

Because of Gu Yi's words, Shi Xiaolei felt bald again and his expression became more and more nervous.

"Relax." Turning around and sitting on the sofa, Gu Yi seemed very comfortable, as if he was back at home: "Sit down, don't be nervous. I came today, just want to say hello and remind you a few words, but there is no other meaning."

“….”

"The tea is good." Gu Yi brought a tea cup from the kitchen by himself. He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.

Putting down the cup, Gu Yi reached out and took out a small paper bag from his arms and placed it on the coffee table: "But it is still not as good as what I brought. Look, this is the meeting gift I brought to you, Kama Taj's specialty tea, you can't buy it outside."
