A few days later Mr Choden is investigating the purchase of a cafe in the city from William. He does a thorough analysis of the caf business and is impressed but Mr Choden particularly likes the caf because the premises include an upstairs apartment which suits him in every way including its central city location. When showing Mr Choden around the caf on one of his visits one of the customers exclaims This is a great buy. Its always packed here at lunch time. WIlliam quickly says Thats right; we always have full tables at lunch time because of the workers from the furniture shop nearby. We are the closest cafe. This is true but William does not mention that the shop owners have told him that the shop will soon be closed and that the furniture shop will be moved to the suburbs. After William and Mr Choden sign the written contract for sale of the cafe an announcement comes that the shop will soon close. Mr Choden is annoyed but thinks that he still wants to go ahead with the purchase although he has not said anything to William.
