"What?" Lu Zheng looked bewildered.
My business is doing just fine. It's possible you would come to discuss a cooperation in acquisition, but you just directly come to buy my shopfront...
Lu Zheng had never done business before, and when buying this shopfront in ancient times, it was first rented through the brokerage. He really didn't know if there was a direct way to ask if an opening shop was for sale.
Maybe it's something that happens in urban web novels when the protagonist is showing off?
Seeing Lu Zheng's confused look, Zhou Mingsheng also felt a bit awkward.
For businessmen running their own shops, directly asking if their storefront is for sale is indeed a bit impolite.
Unless you offer a price that is tempting enough, otherwise, that's just bringing embarrassment upon yourself.
However...
This time Zhou Mingsheng's door-to-door purchase request doesn't fall into this category.
