Chapter 13 I want to start a business
Moving to the bungalow here is at the end of June, and after moving here, I will face the exam, and by the time the exam is over, it will be the beginning of July. It happened that those days were the time for the college entrance examination, and the weather was so hot that people were soaking wet when they sat there without moving.
Chen Xin calculated the money in her hand, and then took 5,000 yuan and sent it to her brother-in-law's parents.
Although the old couple still has a child by their side, their lives are definitely not as prosperous as when Chen Xin's brother-in-law was still alive. Chen Xin didn't realize this problem before, but Grandma Liu mentioned it when she chatted with her in private.
The other party's old couple are also real people, their son and daughter-in-law are gone, leaving a grandson who can't support him and can only be handed over to his daughter-in-law's sister to raise. If Chen Xin had no other source of income, no one would say anything about her, but now that Chen Xin has bought a house and a computer, if she doesn't say anything, someone will definitely gossip.
Chen Xin is not the kind of stingy person, she really didn't realize this before, and she is not the original owner Chen Xin after all, she has no impression of her brother-in-law and his family at all, but since Grandma Liu said it, she doesn't plan to treat it as if she doesn't know. After all, he inherited everything from the original owner, which also includes Zhang Zhang's kinship.
She didn't just have these thousands of dollars left in her hand, but she still had to keep some just in case, and she had been thinking about getting rid of the breakfast shop and opening a small restaurant or something, so she had to keep some of the money to rent a house.
That's right, Uncle Tie asked her to transfer the breakfast shop out before, and she didn't agree at the time, but now it's different. There are too many breakfast shops outside the community, and the competitive pressure is quite great, and since this year, the school's canteen has also been reformed, attracting outsiders to bid for the operation of the canteen. What's more, people's incomes are gradually rising, and those who are particular about themselves have bought small appliances such as microwave ovens, which can be eaten in the morning, clean and hygienic. And those who eat breakfast outside, except for those who don't like to do it themselves, are only those single working youth.
Since May and June, the income of breakfast has declined, and Uncle Tie and his wife also told Chen Xin that two or three other breakfast shops on the street have closed, and there are two like them, in addition to breakfast, they also sell fast food box lunches at noon and evening.
Since the breakfast business is not very good, Chen Xin does not plan to continue, she thinks about simply transferring the shop out and getting the money to rent a small shop by the river, open a café and sell some working meals or something.
This idea was inspired by the café at school.
A two-story old red brick building that had been abandoned for many years in the graduate school of their school was cleaned up, and the building was not changed much. Then this little red mansion became a café where you can eat, drink, and study on your own. It is said that it is difficult to find one inside, especially those young couples who are in love, who are waiting in line to open the door almost early in the morning.
Because students' requirements for coffee are not too high, as long as it is not difficult to drink, the price is not expensive, a cup of coffee is a few dollars, as long as it is not every day, basically students with slightly better family conditions can afford it. You must know that this time is still the world of instant coffee.
Chen Xin doesn't have much research on coffee, but she still knows some of the basics, after all, when she does food live broadcasts, sometimes in order to improve her style, she also has to get something empty and pretend to be a façade, especially later, in order to lose weight, many girls add light coffee every day to dark coffee, and how to make grass delicious over time is also a technique.
Although the river is far away from the school gate, it is opposite to the side gate of the Chengjiao Institute of C University, and there is a bridge 50 meters to the right, and there is a row of old houses facing the river across the bridge.
The old house here is a flat house, there is no property right, and it has never been sold because it requires a certain level to buy. Later, after the social housing policy was changed, these houses became something that no one cared about. Because the demolition will not be demolished here, and these small buildings were built in the fifties, the layout inside is too different from the current fashion, if you buy it, you have to spend a lot of money to renovate, plus the money spent together can buy a brand new commercial house in a good location.
And the river bank on which this small building is relied on is turbulent, the scenery is not good, and the road downstairs is also the original two-lane road, people come and go plus bicycles are interspersed in the meantime, basically every day there is a traffic jam, so many people do not like to walk this street, and naturally there is no popularity.
Chen Xin went to inquire, and the old house here only sold for 80,000 yuan for a small two-story building, which is the price of cabbage. The most important thing is that there is a courtyard of fifty or sixty square meters near the main entrance on the inside, each household is the same size, and there are seven or eight buildings side by side. There are more than a dozen small two-story buildings behind this row of houses, with a larger area, and gardens on both sides of the front and back, and the selling price is only 1230,000 yuan.
Chen Xin has no money, if she has money, she will buy three or five sets without saying a word, and the rent alone will be enough for her aunt and nephew to eat lying down in the future.
Knowing that Chen Xin was looking at the house again, Grandpa Liu was a little angry, thinking that why did this little girl suddenly become unstable, why did she buy so many houses?
"Grandpa Liu, you see that the current welfare housing policy has been changed twice, I heard that the welfare housing will be stopped in the future, what to do if there is no house to live in, you must buy it, so that the house price will definitely rise." I don't want to take advantage of the low price to make more money, you also know that Zhang Zhang and I have no family to rely on, what if we don't work hard for the future?"
Chen Xin explained softly to Grandpa Liu, and took out the housing prices that began to rise on the coast to show up. Grandpa Liu actually felt that housing prices would rise, but people of their age were accustomed to the state's distribution policy and felt that buying a house and land was something that capitalists would do, so he didn't want Chen Xin to go a fork in the road, so he would talk to her so harshly.
Chen Xin knew that Grandpa Liu was for her good, if she didn't really care about her, who would care if she wanted to buy anything, and who would think about what to do in the future for her.
"In addition, Grandpa Liu, I plan to build a café and cook some simple working meals or something, and then I will ask my brother-in-law's brother to help buy vegetables, and my own people will be more relieved." What do you think?"
She also mentioned a little to Cheng Jie about wanting to open a café, and the other party decisively agreed, and Cheng Jie also wanted to partner with Chen Xin, she said that she didn't care about the specific operation, just pay dividends when the time comes, and be a hands-off boss.
Chen Xin is still thinking about this, although she trusts Cheng Jie and her husband, but the problem is that people in this society are not independent, and the relationship involved is too complicated, now Cheng Jie said that she would be a hands-off boss, but when the time comes, what should her family want to do? She doesn't want to be estranged from Cheng Jie and his wife or even turn their faces because of these things.
"It's easy to do, you can find another partner, there are some things you can't say, the third partner can say. But you also have to be careful, in case the two parties join forces to trap you, this matter will not be easy to solve. After all, Grandpa Liu has experienced a lot, so he turned his head and analyzed the situation thoroughly for Chen Xin, including possible problems and how to solve them.
"If you want, I can ask my son if he wants to intervene, so that you can be involved with each other, and whoever wants to withdraw in the future will sell his share directly according to the initial agreement. ”
Chen Xin thought about it and felt that she could do it, but the problem came again, the funds in her hand were not enough to open a café.
"Take out a loan, I can help you contact your Uncle Fang, his wife is from the bank, see if it is possible to find a way for you to borrow some money." ”
