"Well! You go ahead! I'll listen." Fang Yuan nodded.

"The business here is not good at the moment. Although some people come to register to rent houses, there are very few people renting houses."

Hearing what the third sister said, Fangyuan nodded and said, "This is normal. Has anyone sold a house?"

"Yes, but there are very few. So far, only three houses for sale have been registered, and all of them are courtyard houses."

"Has anyone come here to rent a house? I'm talking about a house facing the street."

"Yes, but they don't meet your requirements."

"oh!"

"Someone wanted to rent a house to open a breakfast shop before, but they didn't rent it to him. Another person wanted to rent a house to open a restaurant, but I didn't rent it either."

"Yeah! That's right, it's okay if you don't rent it. As I said before, as long as it's not a clothing store, I won't rent it."

"I know, so until now, none of the houses listed for rent have been rented out."

"It doesn't matter. This is only temporary. It will probably last two to three months at most. By then it will be impossible for you to keep a room."

Fangyuan is definitely not aimless. According to the current situation, it is estimated that those who are just starting out will make their first pot of gold soon.

And these people who made their first pot of gold will definitely rent a storefront in order to grow bigger and make more money, because setting up a stall can only be regarded as a small business.

Also, the place where the stalls are set up is too small. As more and more people come to set up stalls, the place will become smaller and smaller.

If the space is small, it will become insufficient. So what should we do? We can only rent a house! Expand the store.

"By the way, do you want those three courtyard houses? They're in the alley."

"Yes! Why not? How much does the landlord want?"

"It's different, the sizes are different. Two of them have four rooms, covering an area of ​​about 300 square meters, and cost 13,000. The other one is slightly larger, it's five rooms, and the area is a bit larger.

Let’s take it one hundred times! It’s sixteen thousand.”

"Okay, I understand. In this way, I will send the money to you in the store tomorrow morning, and you can help me with the direct transaction. In addition, there will be agency fees."

"Okay." The third sister nodded.

To be honest, during this period of time, Fangyuan’s money is almost drying up to buy a house. If he can’t afford so many clothes, he can still hold on for a while.

But there were too many clothes coming in, and for such a long time, not even 1% of them were sold. You must know that these clothes are also very expensive.

Of course, it is said that it is almost done, but there is still no problem in buying a few courtyard houses, and it is even said that it is more than enough.

But what if there is more? I guess there will be no money by then.

I don’t know why, but Fangyuan is obsessed with houses and wants to buy them all.

But he knew that this was simply impossible, and he probably wouldn't be able to do it in his lifetime.

Even if he has more money than he can spend, it's useless. Not everyone will sell a house. Also, if he buys it like this, he will probably raise the house prices in the imperial capital.

After chatting with Third Sister for a while, Fangyuan went back. When he got home, Liuzi and Xiaowen had already finished taking a bath and were watching TV in the living room.

"Brother Fangyuan."

"Well! You guys continue watching, I'm going to take a bath."

"good."

The next morning, Fangyuan took some money to the store and gave the money to the third sister.

He took the money from these three courtyard houses because he didn't like them, and took a lot more, planning to wait for someone to sell the house again and let the third sister buy it first.

Of course, in this case, he wouldn't be able to take all the money in cash, most of it would be money orders, but it would be more convenient to hold this thing.

It was relatively hot in the afternoon. Although there were still people coming to buy clothes, there were very few people. Fangyuan took advantage of this time to go to the bank.

Mei Dao packed a large suitcase and arrived at the People's Bank of China. He put the suitcase in front of the counter and Fangyuan opened the suitcase.

"Hello, comrade! What do you want to do?"

"Exchange foreign exchange coupons." After saying this, Fangyuan put a bunch of American knives on the counter.

When they first put them out, the staff was just stunned for a moment. They didn't expect there were so many beautiful knives in the area.

But as Fangyuan took more and more, the staff changed from surprise to shock, and finally to shock.

"Comrade...comrade, do you...do you want to change all these?"

"Yes, all of them will be exchanged for foreign exchange coupons."

"Oh! Okay."

The staff member nodded and quickly called a few people over to help.

Of course, they are all bank insiders. There is no way. There is no money counting machine now, so we can only count them one by one.

And counting it once is not enough. At least you need to count it three times or more to make sure it is correct before continuing to count the next bunch.

It took almost half an hour to count all the money. After calculation, the staff said: "Comrade, the total is four million."

"That's right! It's four million, exchange it for me!"

"OK, just a second."

The staff member continued: "Comrade, the current exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB is one dollar and forty-nine cents. You can exchange this for RMB 5.96 million."

"good."

For now, foreign exchange coupons can only be exchanged at the People's Bank of China and cannot be exchanged at other banks.

Fangyuan quickly exchanged the foreign exchange certificates, because the foreign exchange certificates were in bundles and there was no need to count them at all.

Otherwise, it would probably be more troublesome, but after the exchange is completed, the box will not fit in it.

It doesn't matter, Fangyuan drove here, and the staff directly helped him to the car.

About a few hundred meters after leaving, Fangyuan parked the car on the side of the road, and with a wave of his hand, the foreign exchange coupons were collected into the space by Fangyuan.

The top priority now is to exchange these foreign exchange certificates, but this is not a problem at all for Fangyuan.

No, Fangyuan drove directly to the Pigeon Market outside Deshengmen.

This place is getting more and more popular now, and now that business is allowed, the pigeon market has turned into a trading market.

Fangyuan parked the car at the entrance of Pigeon City and rolled down the window.

Although Fangyuan has not come to Pigeon Market for some time to do business, many people still know him.

Seeing it was him, a middle-aged man came over and asked, "Boss Fang, why do you have time to come here today?"

"It's nothing, how about coming over for a walk?"

This middle-aged man also came to the pigeon market to do business. When Fangyuan asked, he said, "It's not bad! It's better than before."

"Yes, there were people who chased me away before, but now I can do whatever I want. It's much easier than before."

"Yeah! By the way, you're not just here for a walk today, right?"

"I got a batch of foreign exchange coupons and I want to sell them. What do you think? Are you interested?"

In fact, there was no need for Fangyuan to ask, because when he mentioned foreign exchange coupons, the middle-aged man's eyes had already lit up.

"Boss Fang, how much do you plan to do?" the middle-aged man asked quickly.

"Why don't you ask me how much I have first?" Fang Yuan asked, tilting her head and looking at the middle-aged man.

"Hahaha! If your boss takes action, it's not worth coming here! So there's no need to ask."

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Fangyuan touched his nose and said, "Okay! I plan to exchange it one to two."

"One to two? It's a little higher, but if it's more, it's still okay."

"Don't worry, you can get as much as you want."

"Oh!" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me this number first."

"No problem." Fangyuan nodded, took out a bunch of foreign exchange coupons, then counted out fifty and handed them over.

"for you."

"Uh!" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, looked at Fang Yuan and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with it?"

"Can you run?" Fang Yuan asked with a smile.

"Uh! Okay!" The middle-aged man shook his head, and then handed Fangyuan a money order for more than 10,000 yuan.

"If you need anything, come to me."

"Hahaha! No problem." After saying this, the middle-aged man ran into the pigeon market.

Fangyuan knew that he was going to take action. To put it bluntly, Fangyuan was equivalent to wholesale, while middle-aged people were equivalent to retail.

"Boss Fang, give me the rest!" Another middle-aged man whom Fangyuan knew came over and said.

"Here, exactly five thousand."

Foreign exchange coupons are a good thing now! If you want to buy something at the Friendship Store, you must use this thing.

And with the reform and opening up, the items in Youyi Store have become more and more complete, and there are more and more imported goods.
