Chapter 42: The End of August (Ten Thousand Rewards for Xuanyuan)
After thinking about it all night, Boss Han finally decided to choose the location of the supermarket in the old glass factory.
It's not that he thinks the location is bad, but he thinks it's troublesome to renovate, but compared to the high rent in other places, he still chose the old glass factory with a relatively large initial investment as the location of the supermarket.
After investigating and understanding, it was learned that the ownership of the factory was in the hands of the local authorities, and Su Mu could not help, which required Boss Han to come forward to coordinate, and Mr. Han Yu was busy dealing with this matter in the next few days.
Probably because he knew some people, or quietly gave gifts, this morning, Su Mu learned from Boss Han that as long as the old factory is renovated, the rent for the first three years can be waived, and the next annual rent is 70,000 US dollars, and a total of 15 years long contracts have been signed, which is not a lot of good news.
For abandoned and dilapidated buildings, the United States has always been generous, sometimes even given away for free, provided that they must be maintained and renovated so that they can be put into use again, which is also a very good measure, which can greatly avoid the abandonment of buildings that can continue to be put into use, which is more humane.
The disadvantage is that some people will "take advantage" through this unwritten rule, after getting the right to use or ownership of a building at a low price, after a simple renovation, and then sell it at a high price, the rent of 80,000 US dollars a year is far lower than Su Mu and Boss Han expected, the location is close to Chinatown, the flow of people is enough, and the area is also very large.
Su Mu decided to come up with 150,000 US dollars, Boss Han also took out 150,000 US dollars, usually Han Yu is responsible for management, more bothered, so he occupies 51% of the supermarket shares, and got the right to speak in the company, this money is not enough, the most fortunate thing is that Boss Han Yu also persuaded the official side to get a total of 100,000 US dollars in bonuses, which can only be used for building renovation.
The renovation of the old glass factory and the signing of a 15-year lease meant that the official department would have more income in the future, and the abandoned building would be reused, and at the same time, it would generate tax revenue in the future, and the building would not be put into use today, and they should pay for its maintenance.
After asking an engineering team, they found that all the roofs had to be rebuilt, the windows had to be replaced, and the floors, gates, walls, water and electricity construction costs needed to be invested about 200,000 US dollars, which was the reason for the exemption of rent for three years, and they probably had to pay about 100,000 US dollars, leaving only 200,000 US dollars to purchase goods and hire employees.
The vast majority of the goods can be settled on a quarterly basis, which leaves a three-month time difference, and the self at hand is almost just enough, Boss Han has been busy recently, he just went to register a company yesterday, and asked a lawyer to help register and divide the equity, and set the name of the supermarket as "Buyfun-Supermarket", which is the name that Su Mu decided after thinking for a long time, which is easy to understand and easy to read.
In fact, Boss Han also stayed up late thinking about a few, namely Gold Supermarket, Hansu Supermarket, Chinatown Supermarket, etc., after listening to Su Mu say the names he thought, he was not embarrassed to say these names at all, and directly strangled them in his mind.
Su Mukali's money was transferred to the company's account, and a third-party financial management company was hired to help supervise it, and before the 100,000 US dollars allocated were received, Boss Han couldn't wait to invite the decoration company.
In line with the idea of how to save money and how to come, I bought a large number of cheap white floor tiles, and at first I planned to use a gusset with a foam layer in the middle of the roof, but later found that it was cheaper to use old tiles, so I removed all the old tiles and asked Chinese craftsmen to help renovate them.
From the current point of view, the preparation work is going smoothly for the time being, if the business is not good after the opening, Boss Han can continue to guard those convenience stores, and after a while, he can earn back the invested funds, but Su Mu can't afford to lose, so that he often loses sleep these days.
At the same time, he is also under pressure from lies, and until now Su Mu still does not dare to tell the elders about his purchase of lottery tickets and investment in supermarkets.
Get such a large sum of money, they will definitely be very happy, yes, but it is inevitable to be taught a lesson by the stinky grandfather, he is already such a big person, he doesn't want to be scolded, let alone be like Li Ping'an, such an adult was also taken off by his father and pumped with a belt, in line with the idea that it can be dragged on for a day, every time he stays at home, he is scared......
In the blink of an eye, it was August 22nd.
Su Mu chose a high school that satisfied him, Loyola Private High School, which is an aristocratic boys' school in the heart of Los Angeles, which means that only male students are admitted to the school.
Founded in 1865, it has a long history, with almost 99 percent of graduates going straight to colleges and universities, ranking among the top private schools in Los Angeles, where wealthy people like to send their children to school.
It's not that there are no other schools that co-educational systems can go to, but Loyola Private High School is the only private high school that has made it clear that it is very likely that Su Mu will be admitted for free, in order to avoid the high tuition fees and enter the best high school, Su Mu would rather not have contact with female classmates for several years, and has sent the recommendation letter written by the teacher for him, the elementary school transcript, the junior high school transcript, and the SSAT transcript and the cover letter, and there will be a separate special interview at the end of August, and he is ready.
In addition to being busy with school and supermarket affairs, Su Mu also has a headache with Grandma Lin's relief money, in recent days, he feels like a ball, being kicked around, and has not been able to get an accurate reply, the Social Security Administration promised to give her about more than 400 US dollars a month, but the part of the money that was not given before, is not going to be compensated to Mrs. Lin.
Perhaps because Su Mu went too often, he annoyed a management of the Social Security Administration, and the other party even threatened that if he continued to make more demands, he would not even plan to give more than $400 a month in relief, so angry that Su Mu didn't have an appetite for dinner last night.
This is not what Su Mu thinks is fair, so he got up early this morning, carried the protest sign he made last night, and stood at the door of the Social Security Administration, which read: "A Chinese woman in her nineties has never received a welfare fund and lives in poverty, but no one in the SSA (Social Security Administration) cares about her!"
Whites and blacks protested for three days, but Chinese protests are rare, and many nosy Chinese uncles and uncles came to ask Su Mu what was going on, and after hearing what happened to Mrs. Lin, she shook her head again and again to express sympathy, but she just shook her head, and left again and again because she felt bored.
Du Zhong, who was dozing, bought a black pen and wrote it on the paper, the content was completely copied from Su Mu, even the punctuation marks were the same, and muttered: "It's so hateful, I have told my friends, don't worry, they will come to support us......"
