The demolition of the dilapidated yard has progressed a little more than the day before, and Applejack has hung a sign outside the gate that says a shop for rent.

Applejack told Chen Wen that the sign had only been hanging for a day, and no one had come to inquire about the rent for the time being.

Chen Wen said, it's not a big problem, someone will come to rent sooner or later, I'll meet Zhen San first tomorrow and listen to his ideas.

Sister Zhen greeted everyone and went to the Houhai bar.

Chen Wen called out to Applejack to go over and go shopping.

Leaving Nanluoguxiang, the four of them walked for a while and came to Houhai.

After crossing the stone bridge, we walked to the south edge of the back sea.

After walking a short distance, Sister Zhen pointed to the light signboard in front of her: "Oh, that house, and that house over there, the two courtyards are me." Chen Wen, whichever one you like, I will transfer it to you. ”

The two bars are not next to each other, and there are two other bars in between.

Everyone walked back and forth in front of the two bars, and Chen Wen immediately smiled.

The first is the bar where Xu Wei used to stay, and the current singer is the Northeast girl named Qiu Yan.

The size of the façade and the interior environment of the two houses are very similar, and there is not much difference in appearance.

Chen Wen asked, "Sister Zhen, what is the area of these two courtyards?"

Sister Zhen said: "One is 280 square meters, and the other is 290 square meters. ”

Chen Wen asked in a asking tone: "I don't pick the size of the area, Xu Wei used to be stationed here, I feel warmer emotionally, let's do it!"

Sister Zhen promised: "Okay, when are you free, let's go to the Housing Authority to handle the transfer." ”

Chen Wen glanced at Tang Jin and said to Sister Zhen: "Today we applied for a telephone landline, and the Post and Telecommunications Bureau asked us to keep people at home in the next two days." Sister Tang must stay at home and wait for someone to install the phone tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I can go out at any time. ”

Sister Zhen smiled: "You forgot, tomorrow is Saturday! The Housing Authority will only work on Monday!"

Chen Wen slapped his head and blamed himself for not remembering.

Sister Zhen beckoned everyone and went to the bar to sit down.

The three of them followed Sister Zhen into the door, and the bar manager immediately ran out of the bar and personally received Sister Zhen.

Two months ago, Chen Wen had followed that sister to this bar, when Xu Wei was still singing here, Chen Wen and that sister did not enjoy the high-end enjoyment of the manager's personal reception.

Chen Wen thought to himself, it's better to follow Sister Zhen to his own bar, the treatment is different.

Four people were seated.

Tang Jin sat next to Sister Zhen, and Chen Wen and Ajie sat opposite, with a small table in between.

Drinks and snacks were served, and the four of them talked and laughed.

Applejack is curious about everything in the place, and keeps looking around.

Chen Wen told Applejack, "I'm going to buy this place next Monday." From now on, you'll be the manager of this bar for me. ”

Applejack was frightened and said in a panic, "Brother Wen, can I do this?"

Chen Wen handed him a bottle of beer: "How can a man doubt whether he can do it?"

Applejack takes the beer bottle, "I've never done it in a bar or a cabaret before!"

Sister Zhen interjected at this time: "Chen Wen, your little brother is really not suitable to be a bar manager immediately. ”

Chen Wen hurriedly asked Sister Zhen for advice.

Sister Zhen said: "That's it, let's go back and keep the people here, you let this little brother follow my people, study for a year, and start with running the hall." In a year's time, I guess I'll buy another bar, and then transfer my people to a new bar. ”

Chen Wen thanked Sister Zhen again and again.

Applejack also has a relieved expression that being able to study for a year before taking over the position of bar manager makes him feel more at ease with himself.

Several people chatted for a while, and the resident singer Qiu Yan ran over.

"Mr. Chen, Sister Tang, hello!" Qiu Yan took the initiative to greet her, "This is familiar, you are ...... Oh my God, Sister Zhen!"

"Haha, Chen Wen, you can do it!" Sister Zhen smiled, "In my bar, your face is more familiar than mine!"

Qiu Yan explained embarrassedly: "Sister Zhen, don't say that! I've only been working here for 10 days, and you haven't come here, so I haven't had a chance to say hello to you!"

Sister Zhen smiled: "Little girl, come, let me introduce you." This Mr. Chen Wen will be your new boss!"

"Huh?" Qiu Yan looked dazed.

Sister Zhen called the manager and announced that Chen Wen was about to buy this bar, and explained the personnel arrangements by the way, the original team was retained for a year, and all of them were transferred to the new bar in the future.

Sister Zhen introduced Applejack to the manager, but the two of them didn't see each other and immediately became acquainted. Chen Wen looked at it from the side and sighed in his heart, the people who mixed up on the road have a common language.

Applejack follows the manager directly and goes to the bar to chat.

The friendship between Chen Wen and Sister Zhen is already a public matter at the staff level of this bar. Applejack is Chen Wen's number one follower, and the people here naturally take good care of him.

Before leaving, Sister Zhen called the bar manager and paid for it herself.

This move made Chen Wen very curious.

Sister Zhen is obviously the backstage owner of this bar, why do she have to pay for playing in her own bar.

Sister Zhen explained: "This manager and I are in a partnership model. I'm the landlord, i.e. the funder. He's the manager and takes care of my business. We split the accounts on a pro-rata basis. If I bring my friends to eat and drink for nothing, then it is not only my share that will be eaten, but also the share of my partner. So I have to pay and put the accounts on a flat basis, so that it is fair to the partners. ”

Chen Wen understood, and it is commonly said that this is a brother's clear accounting.

From the principle that Sister Zhen said, the big boss's own consumption can be discounted, but it cannot be exempted. Everyone is very happy to make money together, but if the big boss makes the partner owe, even if it is a small amount of money, it will ruin the relationship if it accumulates too much.

Chen Wen even drew inferences.

Sister Zhen and the bar manager are the cooperation of two natural persons, and she is likely to have the cooperation of multiple natural persons on other projects, and the practice of causing the partners to lose money must be absolutely eliminated.

Chen Wen also thought that he would have more and more business in the future, and he had sketched opening a chain restaurant with that sister, and maybe he would do all kinds of business with more friends, but he couldn't do something that hurt the interests of his partners.

This is the character of a big boss!

After such a small thing, Chen Wen realized a lot of things.

Chen Wen and Tang Jin followed Sister Zhen out of the bar. Applejack wants to stay and learn from the manager. Chen Wen didn't agree, and said that you don't have to work in a hurry now, and after I buy it, you can come to work again.

Walking on the road along the south side of Houhai, Chen Wen asked, "Sister Zhen, can you make a price!"

Sister Zhen smiled: "I don't offer a price, I only say the price." 10,000 square meters, the yard just now is 280 square meters, plus the hardware in the bar, you give 3 million!"

Chen Wen thought for a while, and there was still 2.6 million left in the money he deposited with his friends in the imperial capital, which was a little bit closer.

Chen Wen said: "3 million is no problem, but I'm afraid I can't pay it all at once." I have 2.6 million yuan in the imperial capital, and the remaining 400,000 yuan, when I return to Shanghai, I will find a financial company to transfer it to you. ”

Sister Zhen smiled and shook her head: "You, you always take money so seriously, why are you in a hurry?"

Chen Wen said: "I'm not in a hurry......

Sister Zhen interrupted impatiently: "Okay, don't be verbose! In this way, don't give me another money for the remaining 400,000, just use the profits of your own bar to offset me!"

Chen Wen smiled and agreed: "Okay, just do as Sister Zhen said! Use the profits of the bar to pay the final payment! By the way, Sister Zhen, how much does this bar make in a year?"

Sister Zhen thought for a while: "I really don't know the specific number, there should be more than 200,000, it seems that it is not 300,000." ”

Chen Wen was relieved that he could pay off the 400,000 arrears in less than two years in the future.

In his previous life, Chen Wen was a poor man, and if he owed others a little money, such as rent or something, he would always be called for debts, so that he developed the habit of not casually owing a dime.

But in this life, he gradually grew into a giant, and he already had a very deep new understanding of the connection between money and social relations.

Although he instinctively didn't want to be in debt, today he had a wonderful feeling that owing Sister Zhen a little foreign debt seemed to be more conducive to bringing the relationship between the two closer.

This feeling gave Chen Wen a novel experience.
