Seeing that the landlord was still hesitating, Li Zhengyi added some bargaining chips and said: "Otherwise, the rent will be increased by another 600 for three years." After the lease, the rent can be negotiated at the market price. ”

The landlord relented and signed a simple rental agreement, agreeing that the rent would be paid once a year, and the rent would be paid first and then used. The deposit was paid according to the rent for a quarter, and after Li Zhengyi paid 4,500 yuan in advance, the landlord handed over the key and told him a few more words before leaving.

After the venue was completed, Li Zhengyi took his parents to the District Industrial and Commercial Branch of Dongcheng District, Xiangning City, which is responsible for managing the area of the urban-rural interface, to apply for an individual business license for waste recycling. I thought that I would have to apply for other documents, such as special business licenses, etc., but I asked the staff of the Industrial and Commercial Branch to know that only the establishment of a waste recycling company requires the license, and the general self-employed do not need to apply for it. As long as you go to the tax department to do a tax registration, and then go to the district public security bureau to do a record, you're done.

By the time these were done, it was not early, and I wanted to make a signboard again, but I had to give up if I didn't have enough time.

On the way home, Li's mother asked, "It's good to play with it like this?"

Li Zhengyi said: "It's early, there are still a lot of things to do, including signs, scales, calculators, rod scales, other miscellaneous tools, etc., I will bring them with me if I have them, and I will buy them if I don't have enough." In addition, it is necessary to decorate it simply, if you don't do it now, you will be in a hurry in the future. ”

Father Li said: "I saw that the interior of the house is very good just now, why do you still need to decorate, at most add some furniture and beds, etc., it's almost the same, there is no need to spend any more money on decoration." ”

Li's mother echoed Li's father's idea, thinking that decoration was unnecessary.

Li Zhengyi knew that the two old people were not thinking correctly, and explained: "When I say decoration, I don't mean the inside of the house, but the open space outside. When the purchasing station is opened, there must be a large number of places to pile up the backlog of waste products, many waste products can not be exposed to the sun and rain, otherwise the price will be greatly discounted. If you enclose the open space, build a simple greenhouse in the open space on the west side, and do a good job of waterproof measures, it is a natural waste storage room. ”

Mother Li said: "This idea is good, but the construction of a shed around the courtyard wall, the cost of materials and labor is not low, and now there is only less than 14,000 on hand, and the money for the purchase and other tools must be reserved, is it enough?"

Li Zhengyi estimated it in his heart, and then said: "It's almost the same to buy two to three thousand pieces of equipment, and the courtyard wall can be completed with simple railings, there is no need to build a wall, it is simpler to build a shed, and the shelf is finished with a dozen iron sheets." Coupled with the cost of concrete and labor on the ground, the total price does not exceed 4,000, so calculated, there is about 6,000 working capital as the acquisition cost, which is roughly enough. ”

The two elders still feel that it is a bit wasteful, and always think that after these things are done, if they are not rented, they are all owned by others. Other people's land will be used for it, so why bother knocking and knocking down the blood capital to get too good.

Li Zhengyi was speechless, his parents' thinking as a small citizen was deep-rooted, and he couldn't shake it for a while, so he had to make a trick to say what was in his heart: "Don't worry, the lease period is three years, are you still afraid that you won't be able to earn back this little money? Besides, after three years, we will have the right of first refusal to renew the lease, and as long as the business is good, we will not lose money." In addition, I have another plan that I didn't tell you, I look very good at this house, and now because I don't have money, otherwise I will buy it as our foothold in Xiangning City. When I make money in the future, I will try to see if I can buy this house directly, so now I invest a little bit to make the house better, not necessarily someone else's, maybe in a year or two, it may be our own family. ”

Only then did the two elders feel relieved, as long as the money was spent on their own family, they would have no opinion.

When I got home, it was already dark, but fortunately the snow was bright at night, so it was not dark and I couldn't see the road.

Mother Li was busy getting dinner as soon as she got home, and Li Zhengyi explained: "Mom, I'm a little tired from walking all day, so don't make too much, just make something simple, just get something to eat." ”

The father and son were not idle, and began to use the flashlight, sorting out and counting the existing tools at home, and if there was, they would take it directly to the acquisition station, and there was no need to spend extra money to buy them.

During this period, Li Zhengyi asked Li's father: "Dad, do you know anyone who is familiar with decoration here?"

Father Li said that he knew, and then said: "I'll contact you tomorrow, we will buy the materials and the like, your cousin will decorate, he has someone under him, and let him help get it done when the time comes." ”

Li Zhengyi has no opinion, the cousin that Father Li said is a little far away, but he does it for anyone, so he will let Father Li deal with it.

At dinner, Li Zhengyi said: "Today we will count the tools to be bought, and I will make a list later, and tomorrow I will go to the city to buy them." I want to customize two more signs, one large and one small, the big one is placed on the side of the road, and the small one is placed outside the house. Once I got it done, I went straight to the rental house, and I was almost ready to open the door to buy scrap. ”

Mother Li said: "Then let's clean up when we arrive, and live over there in the future, what should we do here?"

Li's father said: "Everywhere is lived, and people's houses are better than ours." Just put it here, come back and clean up when you have time, don't idle for too long. ”

Mother Li was right to think about it, so she didn't say it anymore.

The next day, when the sun rose, most of the snow melted away, revealing the snow on the plots, trees, roof tiles, and cliffs, like the head of a leprosy, mottled continuously. The air was still cold in the sun, and I could feel a biting numbness on my toes and thick socks wrapped in my shoes.

After Li Zhengyi summed up with his parents, he decided to divide the army into three ways.

Li Zhengyi went to Xiangning City by himself, brought the list he had made last night, and began to purchase equipment and customize signboards. Li's father went to inquire about the decoration materials and contact his cousin, and tried to decorate the venue in the shortest possible time. Li's mother sorted out and packed the materials that had been cleaned up at home and needed to be used when she opened, but there were not many items to bring, because at the end of the year, she didn't get anything at home, and she still had to come back for the New Year anyway.

When I went to the vegetable garden in the morning, I found that the ice slag on the road was very thick, and it creaked when I stepped on it, and I could fall on the flat ground like an ice skate. So when leaving, Li Zhengyi told Li's father to slow down on the road, anyway, he was not in a hurry, and he also told Li Mupo that the road was steep and slippery, don't go to the back mountain vegetable garden.

All morning, Li Zhengyi walked around the LC District of Dongcheng District, Xiangning City, and saw hardware stores, electronic scale shops, advertising design stores and other places, and he had to go in to chat for a while.

After the initial comparison, Li Zhengyi began to inquire purposefully. The first thing to go to is the time-consuming custom signboard, which is not a buy-and-take item and takes a few days. He turned out of the old street of hardware tools in Dongcheng District and turned into an advertising design shop called "Xincheng Advertising" in the shop diagonally opposite.

Li Zhengyi walked into the Xincheng advertisement and looked left and right. There are two rooms in the store, one of which is larger on the outside, and a rectangular table in the middle with rulers, advertising paper, and other miscellaneous items, which should be a custom-designed place. The room is smaller, it should be an office, and there is a long-haired girl sitting in front of the desk computer.

Li Zheng coughed and called the boss.
