Chapter 9 B&B Transfer “It’s not that the business is bad. In fact, tourism has picked up since last year, boosting the surrounding economy. The same is true for the B&Bs here. The two B&Bs in our village rented houses in the village and then renovated them. In order to boost the village economy, the rent was actually very low. The reason why the B&B wants to be transferred now is that the owner has lost a lot of money in other businesses and now urgently needs funds to make up for the loss. You should also know that few people actually make money by running B&Bs. Most people run B&Bs because they make money, or they turn their idle houses into B&Bs. ” Yang Chenguang didn't expect Du Ruo to be interested in this, so his words were a bit casual and he didn't touch on the point that Du Ruo wanted to know. "Chen Guang, can you help me find out more about the company's details, take a look at its business performance, and ask about the transfer fee and the like? I'm quite interested in this, and if the price is right, I'm interested in taking it over." Du Ruo simply said it directly. Although he might not trust others, Yang Chenguang was still worthy of his trust. The key point was that Yang Chenguang definitely did not want the homestay to fail. He only hoped that it would get better and better, which would be more beneficial to the development of the village. "Okay, I'll go find out for you tomorrow." Yang Chenguang looked at Du Ruo with some surprise, then nodded heavily and agreed to the matter. The two did not continue talking about this topic, but began to recall some interesting things in the past. However, most of the time, it was Yang Chenguang who was talking, while Du Ruo listened and occasionally agreed with a few words. After dinner, Yang Chenguang's wife took the children to do their homework, while Yang Chenguang's parents went out to play cards, leaving the two of them to continue chatting while smoking.
After finishing a cigarette, Yang Chenguang winked at Du Ruo, then shouted into the room: "Lisa, I'll introduce the B&B to Du Ruo. We might go to the tavern later. You can come over later." After saying this, he didn't wait for his wife's reply and went out with Du Ruo. "This place was originally the old clinic and village primary school in the village. Later it was no longer used, so it was renovated. There were also three bungalows next to it. After renting it out, it was renovated and turned into the current homestay." The two walked for a few minutes and came to a homestay they had seen yesterday. Yang Chenguang introduced it to Du Ruo. Because the B&B was renovated from an old house, it retains many features of Huizhou architecture. From the outside, the three single-family houses next to it all have white walls and green tiles, and they all have small courtyards, which gives it a very local flavor. Living here is also a unique experience. "The original lease signed with the village was 15 years, and the annual rent was 30,000 yuan. The clinic was converted into seven large guest rooms, with a total investment of about two million yuan in its construction in 19. It suffered a blow just after it was completed and put into operation. It did not make any money for several years. It had just started to pick up this year, but the boss's main business started to lose money again. The one opposite actually has a bigger investment because they rented the land and built their own B&B, which costs more.” Yang Chenguang knew very well what was going on here. It was around seven o'clock in the evening. Many people and stalls had gathered in the square between the two homestays. The two could smell the aroma of barbecue from a distance. "It's still the off-season now, so the B&Bs are not fully booked. In the peak season, they will be fully booked. In the off-season, the price of a single-family house is 588, and the price of a large house is 288. In the peak season, these houses can be rented out for double the price. This is because it is nearly a ten-minute drive from the town, otherwise the price would be even higher." "How do tourists go to town? Most tourists don't drive. A ten-minute drive is not too far, but walking is definitely impossible." "Someone in the village bought a car to pick us up, and it's not expensive per trip. Plus, there are buses that go directly to town, so it's convenient." The two of them walked around, and the more Du Ruo looked, the more satisfied he became. The main reason was that this B&B was already very mature, with its own management model, so they could run the business and make money as soon as they took it over. Plus, it was close to home, so it was convenient for them to come over. As the two of them walked around, more and more people came to the small square. In fact, the people strolling in the square were not only the tourists staying at the B&B. There were even more villagers from nearby miles around. Some of them came to set up stalls, some just came to stroll around, and there were a few young people playing musical instruments and singing. Du Ruo felt that these people looked familiar. He thought they were the villagers here, but he hadn't seen them for a long time and had become a little unfamiliar. "Look at these people, those who are walking awkwardly and shaking are definitely tourists. Let's go to the pub and have a drink, hehe..." Yang Chenguang laughed twice while he was talking, his smile was a little vulgar. He didn't have any other thoughts about the bar owner, but who doesn't like to look at beautiful women? It's nice to feast your eyes. The pub is right next to the B&B. It doesn’t have a special name, but there’s a lantern hanging in front of it with a big word “wine” on it that’s very conspicuous. "This pub is quite famous on the Internet. It's not that she made the video herself, but tourists who came here took a lot of videos of the pub owner, which attracted more people to come here."
Yang Chenguang explained and then took him inside. The pub's decoration is simple and quaint, a bit like the old pubs you see on TV. There are several tables in the room. It's not a busy time yet, and there are only two tables with people sitting there, drinking and chatting. Opposite the door is an antique wooden counter. A little girl is standing there in a bored daze. There are a lot of wines on the cabinet behind her. The proprietress I saw yesterday was sitting at a small table not far from the counter, drinking alone. Du Ruo could only see her back when he looked over. Her long hair was casually scattered over her shoulders. She was no longer wearing a loose short-sleeved shirt, but a slim-fitting cheongsam. Sitting on a stool, the proprietress's slender waist and perfectly curved hips were revealed. To be honest, seeing this back figure, the quality of the wine here is no longer that important. As long as the proprietress sits there, there will be no shortage of men coming to drink. "Xiaojuan, get me half a pound of deer antler wine, and order me a portion of stinky tofu, a portion of hairy tofu, and a portion of peanuts." Yang Chenguang shouted to the girl behind the counter, then took Du Ruo to the two tables that were already occupied and sat down. After sitting down, they could just see the almost perfect back of the tavern owner's wife. It was only then that Du Ruo discovered that the two tables next to them seemed to be doing the same thing. When Yang Chenguang and Du Ruo sat down, the people at the three tables looked at each other and smiled knowingly. "The things sold here are all medicinal liquors prepared by the tavern owner, and they are very effective." Yang Chen explained to Du Ruo and raised his eyebrows after he finished speaking. "Medicine?" Du Ruo shifted his gaze from the back and looked at the wine bottle behind the counter. At the same time, he had an idea that it would be best to practice martial arts with medicinal wine. (End of this chapter)
