After Su Ze and Xia Lu agreed on the details, the rest of the things went very smoothly.

The three-story building was also vacant, and there was no difficulty in negotiating the rent, and the final price was 2,500 yuan a month and 30,000 yuan a year.

At that time, the landlord also asked a little puzzled: "This location is open to a hostel, are you sure that someone will come to stay?"

He was more surprised by the windfall.

"Doing business must be risky, in fact, I don't have a ......bottom in my heart," Su Ze covered his face, revealing a tangled look, "It turns out that I want to rent the commercial area on the other side of the wharf, but because the good positions over there have been occupied, and the funds in my hand are really limited, I have to retreat this time, choose here, and want to fight for luck." ”

After a few seconds of silence, he let out a long sigh and continued, "Although I also know that the chances of making money are slim, the possibility of losing money is very high. ”

Xia Lu looked at Su Ze a little stupidly, could this kid have graduated from film school before, this acting is so natural, if she didn't know the truth, she would have really been deceived.

The landlord was also afraid that the other party would change his mind because of his lack of confidence and let the money sent to the door fly away, so he had to comfort him: "There must be risks in doing business, I think the location here is not bad, and there is still a chance to make money." ”

Su Ze's eyes flashed with some cunning, and he said: "Boss, we can't pay the rent once a quarter, the financial pressure is greater, and we have to decorate this building." ”

The landlord nodded nonchalantly: "Yes, a quarter is a quarter." However, I said in advance, after a full quarter, if you are in arrears for more than a month, I have the right to make you stop business and leave, and I will not be responsible for the waste of money spent on renovation. ”

He's also a shrewd man, but he's not very optimistic about the prospect of opening a hotel here.

"Of course, after all, doing business must be honest. If the rent is in arrears for more than a month, I don't need you to rush, I will take the initiative to roll up and leave. ”

Su Ze waved his hand, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, but in Xia Lu's eyes on the side, he felt that this guy was shameless, he was cheap and behaved.

After the negotiation was over, the two got up and were about to leave, when the landlord suddenly asked again: "Are you two a couple?"

Xia Lu was just about to reply: "The old lady can see this tour guide?"

Su Ze kicked her quietly, and said with a smile: "It's not a couple, we are distant relatives." I'm a southerner and she's a northerner. ”

Oh~

Sure enough, this kind of half-truth is easy to win people's trust, and the landlord really believes it.

If it is a couple, they are not too intimate, most of the others do not believe it, if it is a friend who has just met, the two are from all over the world, the other party may also be suspicious.

So Su Ze cheekily made up a distant relative.

After the two went out, Xia Lu, who had always been straight, asked, "How did you think of distant brothers and sisters?"

Su Ze glanced at him indifferently and said, "Do you think my words 'Sister Xia Lu' are called in vain?"

"You ......" Xia Lu was speechless for a while, so she had to say, "Flim Tongue, you pretended to be so good just now." The landlord still thinks that you really use his house as the last spare tire, and you really don't have to choose him. ”

Su Ze blinked his eyes and said, "I said this to pave the way for the next quarter, of course, I didn't think it was a big problem at first." ”

Xia Lu looked at Su Ze and said with a smile: "There are difficulties in funds, call a few more sisters, I will borrow you, and I will use your two homestays as collateral, right?"

She guessed correctly, Su Ze chose this payment method because of the problem of funds.

His current savings are less than 10,000 yuan, which also includes the October salary that has not yet been paid, but has been calculated by him.

What a broken company! Just that salary, it won't come until the 20th.

"No, of course there is no problem with funding. Su Ze cheekily denied it, "This is called risk control, in case we are afraid that in case, if the business is not very good, we can retreat immediately and reduce losses." ”

After Xia Lu glanced at him suspiciously, she showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and she didn't know if she really believed Su Ze's nonsense.

Two days later, Su Ze ended this group activity, and before leaving, he said to Xia Lu again: "Don't forget to apply for a business license, in the certificate center on the main island of Haizhou City, you can't do it on Dongji Island." ”

After Xia Lu heard this, she gritted her teeth in anger.

......

On November 20, 2010, Su Ze finally received the first complete monthly salary in his life - 1,800 yuan, of which 1,600 yuan is the salary during the probation period, and 200 yuan is the group subsidy.

He stared at the incoming text message for a few seconds, and then pressed the delete button without hesitation, because the number looked so spicy......

Today has a special meaning for Su Ze, not because it is the day of salary, but because his homestay on Dongji Island is officially open.

Due to the publicity in the early stage, all four B&Bs were fully occupied, and even for the remaining days, some people have already said that they want to book in advance. However, Su Ze said that there are too few rooms and will not accept reservations for the time being, and only adopt the principle of first-come, first-served.

"150 yuan is too cheap, even if we increase the price to 180 yuan, others will rush to order. Xia Lu sent a text message.

"I made a promise on Weibo that it was 150 yuan this month, and I would increase the price next month. We can't keep our word. Su Ze thought for a while and replied with a message.

His Weibo account has more than 30,000 followers, and his message must have been screenshotted, and there is no need to risk the price difference of 30 yuan.

"Okay, listen to you, but I have to explain in advance that December is the off-season, and business can't be as good as November. ”

"Understood. ”

After Su Ze put down his mobile phone, after a little thought, he decided to inform his parents about the opening of the homestay next month.

He didn't discuss it with his parents in advance, but chose to cut it first after the business of the homestay was formalized, so that he had taken the step of convincing his family, and now that the wood was in the boat, they had nothing to do.

What's more, most of the 30,000 yuan Su Ze borrowed from the elder sister has been spent, and an explanation must be given, and it is impossible to keep this matter hidden.

When he was a little distracted, he received a message on QQ, and the person who sent the message was the cashier of finance, Xu Ting?

The two of them did not add friends, but the company has a QQ group, and the members of the group can chat with each other privately.

"The salary has been paid, you can see if I have paid you more. She also added a mischievous expression.

Su Ze remembered that not long ago, the two had chatted, and he also joked that he hoped that she could send him an extra 0.

"It's not more, it's less, there's a 0 missing, make it up for me. Su Ze didn't think about it, so he replied.

After a while, the other party replied with an "embarrassed" expression.

Xu Ting in the financial room was a little depressed, and secretly said Why did Su Ze talk like this, didn't he talk to death?

Where did she think that Su Ze just had the idea of talking to death......
