After Shen Qianmo left, Li Tong felt very lost.

He always thinks of the childish voice and cute appearance of the little orange in his ears.

He unconsciously stays in front of the computer every night and videos with Sweet Orange.

"Li Tong, I have contacted the school for Xiao Tiancheng, don't worry." Shen Qianmo looked good on the other side of the video.

In fact, she really looks good without makeup, her skin can be broken by blowing, and her eyebrows are delicate and picturesque.

"That's right, Li Tong. I have one more thing to trouble you. Shen Qianmo said, "I don't want to rent the villa I live in for the time being, and I want to take Sweet Orange back for vacation this summer." I gave the key to Sister Fei, and she will stay in the villa to look at the house. It doesn't matter if you come and take care of me when you have time, or if you stay. ”

"This ......" Li Tong was stunned for a moment, "Well, don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back from the summer vacation." ”

"Yes." Shen Qianmo nodded.

As can be seen in the video, the house she lives in USA is not very big, but it is warmly furnished.

"How's your application going?" Li Tong asked.

"It went well." Shen Qianmo stroked her hair, "Thanks to Professor William, because of the cement painting of Little Sweet Orange, he wrote a letter of recommendation for me." The art department at Purdue University agreed to my admission in the fall. ”

"That's good. I wish you all the best. “

After saying this, Li Tong turned off the video.

Soon, the new semester also began, and Bai Mengting did not look for a job after graduation, but became Professor Qu's graduate student.

Everyone seems to have a good time, and so does Li Tong.

Li Tong doesn't plan to paint silently in the short term, he has a little spare money in hand and wants to do some side investment.

"Old gun, second fat, I want to open a café, what do you think?" On this day, after dinner, Li Tong stood in the living room with a cup of coffee and proposed.

"Not good!" Lao Gun and Er Fat denied Li Tong's whimsical in unison.

"Li Tong, it's not me talking about you. It is said that cooked is not raw, you can't even tell the difference between latte and mocha, and you still open a café? "The old gun is disdainful.

Er Fat also dismissed, "Brother, you are a person who wants to be an artist, why has the pattern shrunk recently to the point of being self-employed?" ”

After Li Tong finished speaking, he took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "I want to make a theme café related to art, as for how to make coffee, I can spend money to hire professionals." The raw materials are all the best, and we are not afraid that no one will come. ”

"Brother, are you serious?" The old gun asked solemnly.

"Of course it's true, I've been thinking about this for a long time." Li Tong nodded firmly.

"Hey, I thought Li Tong you were rich, and the first meeting was a gallery, but I didn't expect it to be a café." The old gun sighed.

"What's this? Cafes and galleries are just a place to display art, and there is no difference in nature. Li Tong put down the coffee cup, "Tomorrow the two of you will accompany me to the site selection." ”

"Location? So fast? The second fat and the old gun looked at each other.

"Yes. I'm going to open a café near Sanlitun, and we'll check it out tomorrow. Li Tong said.

"This ......"

"Okay. You're the boss, you have the final say......"

At night, Li Tong lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

In fact, he didn't know the bottom of his mind about opening a café, he had never done business, and he was afraid that the first time he opened it, he would hit the street.

He really doesn't understand coffee, and he doesn't understand tea. In the past, he didn't have the leisure to play with these.

As for the minimum standard of the café - baking, he is even more ignorant.

Lao Gun is right, he doesn't understand anything, he only has an idea, so he rashly goes to open a café, which is indeed very risky.

People who open cafes must first have their own taste, which is why many café owners are rich and idle rich second-generation people.

Thinking of having money, leisure and taste, Li Tong was the first to think of Bai Mengting.

He immediately sent a WeChat message to Bai Mengting: Do you know coffee and baking?

Bai Mengting replied in seconds: I understand it as well as painting.

Li Tong: Hehe, don't talk big.

Bai Mengting: Lying to you is a puppy.

Li Tong: Okay, I'll believe you once.

Li Tong trusts Bai Mengting 100%.

Closing the phone, Li Tong felt that since the technical problem was solved, the next step was to choose the location.

Early the next morning, Li Tong came to Sanlitun with the old gun and the second fat.

This is the most prosperous business district in Beijing, and the flow of people is very large.

To put it mildly, as long as you run it properly, there will be people lining up to sell shit here.

Li Tong casually walked into a store with the words "Transfer of this store", and the owner inside was packing things while clearing the warehouse and selling them.

"How much is the transfer fee for your store?" Li asked as he stepped forward.

"Two and a half million." The boss didn't lift his head and continued to pack his things.

"So expensive?" Li Tong muttered.

"I'm cheap here. The one next door costs three million. The boss said.

"Why do you want to transfer it?" Li Tong continued to ask.

"Hey, business isn't good. The impact of e-commerce has increased the rent to the house. I was killed by the big guys like Ma Yun and Wang Jianxing. The boss grumbled helplessly.

"How much is the monthly rent here?" Li Tong looked around at the shop of more than 100 square meters and asked.

"Five thousand and one flat, you can count it yourself."

Li Tongmao estimated that 5,001 square meters, 250 square meters, and a month's rent of 1.25 million yuan.

No way!

The rent here is a house a month!

Li Tong gasped!

He had long known that the rent in Sanlitun was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be like a bird.

"I've got two floors here. Upstairs I had an attic for myself. The boss said, pointing to the second floor.

Sure enough, Li Tong looked up and saw that there was indeed a semi-open attic, the area was only the size of the first floor, and the second floor could overlook the entire first floor.

If you open a café in the future, the second floor can be used as a private seat, which is a good design.

"Let's rent your house." Li Tong put his hands in his trouser pockets and said lightly to the boss.

The boss didn't raise his head, and used his teeth to bite off the transparent glue he was packing, "Young man, are you joking with me?" I haven't rented out this place for more than half a year, just you? ”

After speaking, the boss finally raised his head and looked at Li Tong.

I saw that he was dressed ordinarily, wearing a dark green jacket and a pair of cotton khaki pants underneath.

The boss is in the clothing business, and he estimates that Li Tong's outfit will not exceed 500 yuan at most.

Can he shell out millions of transfer fees at once?

Don't be funny.

Sanlitun often encounters some entrepreneurial maniacs, who come up with ambitions, site selection, and business plans, and finally after everything is done, the venture capital is not done.

This kind of person, the boss has seen a lot, and he doesn't think that Li Tong is sincere in doing business with him.

In addition to the boss's disagreement, Lao Gun and Erfat also disagreed.

The reason why Er Fat disagrees is very simple, shopping for things pays attention to shopping around, Li Tong just looked at one, and it was decided, it was too hasty.

And the point that the old gun disagrees with is that the boss in front of him looks very capable, and the goods he sells are also of good quality and low price, he can't run it, can Li Tong do it?

It's not that the old gun looks down on him, he has 0 experience in business.

On the way here, Lao Gun was still persuading Li Tong to go back to painting honestly.
