Chapter 2: Profiteer Li Jiaming (I)

The sun is scorching, but the little sisters are very excited, because they don't have to squeeze the dormitory in the future. The dormitory is uncomfortable, one room for ten people, and boxes, buckets, and washbasins are everywhere. If it's raining, wet clothes hang everywhere in your room or in the hallway, and water is always dripping from your head.

The new house under the sun is indeed very beautiful, the house next to it is still under construction, Li Jiaming's row has been completed early, the white exterior wall, red windows, aluminum alloy roller shutter doors, in the street of scaffolding is even more beautiful. Li Jiaming glanced at a few houses that were about to be capped, and twitched the corners of his mouth regretfully, if Wang Zhenguo hadn't won the infrastructure project of the fiberboard factory, these houses would have been built by the second uncle, and the construction period would have to be decided by themselves, and some of them would be cheap.

"It's mine, I yes yes (Dad) said, these are mine!"

Man Mei stood in front of the store excitedly and jumped and jumped, but was suppressed by the third sister with a slap, "What is it called? I can't get into college, I don't have anything!"

"Fifth brother, third sister bullied me!"

Children are sensitive and like to compare, Li Jiaming, who was opening a row of roller shutter doors, did not look back, while directing the tall hair to paste red paper, while helping the third sister said: "The third sister is not wrong, the second uncle said that these houses will be used for everyone to read in the future." Sister Gui, Sister Jin, don't listen to Sister Man's nonsense (nonsense), in the future, if you are admitted to university, my brother will buy you a brick house that is more beautiful than this!"

"Really?"

"Have I ever talked nonsense?"

Gui Mei and Jin Mei, who were still envious of Manmei just now and felt inferior to her, immediately became happy, Jiaming's brother is the most powerful, he said that he would give him a brick house, and he would definitely give it away! The younger sister proudly held her brother's hand, her brother's is hers, as long as she studies hard, her brother will buy whatever she wants!

Thanks to the praise of hundreds of primary school students, Li Jiaming's reputation in Chongxiang is very great, and his family has made three brick houses on the street, which makes him a little celebrity that everyone knows on this small street. As soon as Mao Tong pasted a piece of red paper for rent, a passerby came to ask, "Jiaming, your store is for rent?"

"Uncle Chen, yes, this row of stores is all rented, do you want to rent it?"

"I'll take a look, I'll see", Chen Hesheng, who has been doing business on the street for two years, is a middle-aged man in his thirties, who has made some money in the business in the past two years, but he can afford to buy land and a house, and he is anxious about the storefront.

The business was up/out, and the third sister grabbed the full sister who wanted to urge Li Jiaming to go upstairs, and turned around to buy a few popsicles to coax a few younger siblings, so as not to hinder the younger brother from talking about business with others. But Li Jiaming didn't want to rent it to Chen Hesheng, this man was not a good person, I heard that he should have been shot ten years ago, but at that time, the law did not hold the public accountable, and the government was afraid of causing more trouble, so he escaped. Such a tenant, even if he is not as fierce as before, Li Jiaming does not want to mess with it.

"Well, it's just too big", Chen Hesheng, who had turned around inside and out, was very satisfied and wanted to suppress the price, but the rent quoted by Li Jiaming startled him, and also scared the third sister next to him.

"Uncle Chen, it's not expensive. Think about it, in the past, a broken wood shed was rented for 50 yuan, but my storefront was two or three times larger than the shed and was still made of bricks, so it was expensive to rent only 400 yuan? Besides, in addition to the storefront, I also have a room, a kitchen, and a bathroom upstairs. As long as you pay another 180 yuan, the upstairs room can also be rented to you, not only to do business, but also to let your aunt and children live here.

You are working so hard, not for the sake of the children? As long as you rent this place, the children will have a quieter learning environment in the future, and they don't have to be crowded together as a family, right?"

Li Jiaming, who made up his mind not to rent, said everything in order, and seemed to be thinking about the other party, this is his cunning, and he has to be skilled in refusing people.

The rent of four hundred yuan is indeed very expensive, and it is ridiculously expensive, Chen Hesheng, who is no longer hot and has become cunning, discussed with a smile: "Jiaming, we are all villagers in the township, and I also call you second aunt and cousin, this store is really good, but the price is indeed too expensive." I'll rent it for a hundred dollars, okay?"

The third sister who was standing far away was overjoyed, her father handed over the store to her younger brother for rent, and explained that as long as it was not less than 100 yuan, she would rent it, and they took the initiative to say that 100 yuan would definitely add a little more! But Li Jiaming hahaha: "Uncle Chen, this is really not good, you are happy and I am happy." In the past, a wooden shed of more than 30 square meters was rented for 50 yuan, but now I only rent a brick house of more than 80 square meters for 100 yuan?

Besides, this is a prime location for me, and the store is so big, 400 yuan a month is really not expensive. ”

Chen Hesheng also snorted, saying that he wanted to go home to discuss with his wife, so he left on his own. As soon as he walked away, the third sister hurriedly came over and whispered: "Jiaming, he said a hundred himself, and you still don't agree?"

Although the second uncle let himself take full control of it when he left, but one hundred yuan a month was already very large in the eyes of the second aunt, what if her old man agreed as soon as she was happy? Doing business is about making money in harmony, not getting into trouble for money.

"Little sister, don't mind the affairs of adults", Li Jiaming pushed the full sister and little sister who were happily licking the popsicle a little farther, and pulled the third sister to the side and whispered: "Third sister, wait a minute, you ride home and tell the second aunt, if Chen Hesheng goes to the door to ask about the store, let her find a reason to push." Let's just say that the second uncle didn't come back, she can't be the master, if someone else comes to ask, she shouldn't take the initiative to agree, unless someone else takes the initiative to offer more than 400 yuan!"

"What?"

Now the small workers on the construction site only earn eight yuan a day, and the monthly rent of a store is worth two months' hard work? Li Jiaming's words shocked Li Xinhua, who was still simple, and couldn't even speak. If a storefront rents 400, wouldn't it be possible to earn 2,004 a month and 28,080 a year?

Hmph, what is this? At present, it is estimated that the storefronts in the county town cost five or six hundred yuan a month, and the number of workers is not high, and the rent of the store in the prime area can be compared with the salary of a small construction worker?

Pointing to the scaffolding on the street, as well as the supply and marketing cooperatives whose business was much stronger than usual, Li Jiaming whispered: "See, how many empty storefronts are there on the street now? Also, how big was the wooden shed in the past, and how big is the store now? Even if everyone's house is finished in the future, the store will be more than 1/3 less than before, and we will make them cheaper if we don't raise the price?"

The third sister is not as bold as Li Jiaming, although she understands the truth, she still hesitates: "Jiaming, four hundred yuan for a storefront, will anyone dare to rent it?"

Li Jiaming, who knows a lot about business tricks, originally just opened a high price to try the market, but he didn't expect that the counteroffer was 100, and he really estimated the wrong market. There is no father and son in the business place, not to mention that he is just an acquaintance, Li Jiaming was a businessman in his previous life, how could he let go of such an opportunity to make money?

"It's okay, the price is all over the sky, and the money will be paid on the ground! They are more anxious than us, and they will take the initiative to increase the price. ”

The third sister was dumbfounded, isn't this a lie?

"Third sister, someone does the business of cutting off heads, but no one does the business of losing money, do you think Chen Hesheng is stupid? If he thinks that it is too expensive, he will not even pay back the price, since he has repaid the price of 100 yuan, the bottom line in his heart must be higher than 100 yuan, understand?"

understands that the partnership deceives people is just a slip of the tongue, the third sister is not so conscious, she doesn't make money by sending it to the door, and it is cheap for outsiders.

"Well, I'll go home now. ”

Li Jiaming hurriedly grabbed the eager third sister and whispered, "It's not bad for a few minutes, let's take them up first." ”

"Oh".

After a few people finished pasting the six big red pieces of paper for rent, Li Jiaming led everyone upstairs from the back embankment. Their row of houses is different from others, the first floor is ready to be rented out, so it is completely separated from the upstairs housing, and even the staircase is built at the back. This is also one of the reasons why Boss Chen thinks this is good, how can a person who does business want the master to go in and out of his own store?

As soon as he walked to the staircase and took out the key, Li Jiaming remembered that the key was missing, so he quickly took off the key and took out five yuan and handed it to Mao Yan, and ordered: "Mao Yan, go and get four door keys." ”

"I have money".

"Gotcha, how many dollars do you have a week?"

"Hey, hey, hey", Mao Yan scratched his head embarrassedly and ran away with the money and keys. He and the fine dog, the family only gives three yuan a week, how can there be more money than Li Jiaming?

On the third floor, Li Jiaming opened the door, the third sister, Jin Mei, and the little sister were all very excited, but after the hopeful full sister glanced at it, she was disappointed.

Although the cement floor is clean, the walls are snow-white, and the door is as beautiful as on TV, it is much worse than the room she lives in with her little sister at home, and not as beautiful as Zhang Shaolong's house. Yaye (Dad) and Uncle Chuan Meng are both bad people, and they also said that this house is very beautiful, just look at the room that is not closed, and the rest must be as unbeautiful as the living room, not even that beautiful paint!

Xiaomei and Jin Mei don't have the morbid persistence of the pursuit of beauty, and they are very satisfied when they look at the neat and empty house. This is not only much better than the dormitory I lived in before, but also more beautiful than my own home, not to mention that there is a bathroom in the room, so don't ask someone to accompany you to walk those scared night roads in the future.

The small house with two bedrooms and two living rooms, and then the houses in a row along the corridor, only one door opened, that was Li Jiaming's study, and the little sister raised her ruddy and white little face, "Brother, this house is so good! Where do we live?"

"Hehe", Li Jiaming looked at the satisfied little sister playfully, covered her eyes with his hands, and said lovingly: "Well, my brother will make a trick for you, don't open your eyes." ”

"Oh"

Li Jiaming took the little sister who closed her eyes, walked to the door that was swaying in front of her room, turned on the lights by the door in turn, and whispered: "One, two, three, open your eyes!"

"Wow!"

Li Jiaming seems to have opened a 'Alibaba' door for his little sister, with a simple living room outside and a dreamlike world inside.

The light yellow floor, bright yellow walls are pasted with cartoon patterns such as 'Flower Fairy', 'Mickey Mouse', 'Donald Duck', etc., and on the ceiling are some starlight lamps that she has never seen before, twinkling like the starry sky at night, full of interest.

When the lights are on, there are small desks, stools, beautiful double-layer wooden beds with ladders, and a small light yellow lamp at the head of each desk and bed. There was also a closet that she had only seen before, and the door was also pasted with cartoon landscapes, small animals, flowers, castle .......

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

Hearing the screams of the little sister, the sullen full sister ran over to take a look, and was also stunned by the room full of innocence, and screamed with the little sister.

"I'll sleep here!"

"I'll sleep here!"

"No, I'm going to sleep here with my sister!"

"Then I'll sleep here with Sister Gui!"

The four little guys who came back to their senses rushed into the room and began to divide up the two bunk beds.

'Huh', Li Jiaming opened the light yellow curtains, snow-white gauze curtains, and dark sunshade curtains, and the room became brighter, and the full girl who was dancing immediately jumped down from the bed, pushed away Li Jiaming and closed the three layers of curtains again, and said dissatisfiedly: "How beautiful is this!"

Hehehe, the atmosphere created by the lighting is indeed more beautiful than reality, Li Jiaming smiled and said: "Hey, hey, the four of you have all occupied the bed, where does the third sister sleep?"

In fact, the best plan is for the youngest full sister to sleep in the same bed with the little sister, but the delicate full sister bit her fingers and said: "The third sister slept with us for one night, this bed is too comfortable!"

Okay, okay, this is all your internal affairs, Li Jiaming smiled and pulled the third sister who was already absent-minded, taught her to use the electric water heater and flush toilet in the bathroom, and explained some matters to her. These little guys, I know too well, if no one is staring at it on such a hot day, it must be that the electric fan is not turned off and blows all night, it doesn't matter if the electricity bill is there, don't blow people cold.

"Oh"

"This is a water heater for bathing", Li Jiaming pressed the switch on the wall, and the water heater installed on the wall immediately lit up red.

"You see, the red light means that the water is boiling, and when the green light comes on, the water inside will be hot. Be careful when using it, don't get burned. ”

Li Jiaming taught the third sister hand in hand, and this girl in the mountains is still struggling with the rent.

"Jiaming, can we really rent out our storefronts for four hundred yuan a month? Otherwise, wait for Boss Lin to add one hundred and fifty or sixty yuan, we have six storefronts, and we have more than a thousand yuan a month. ”

The third sister still has no potential to do business, if the second sister is here, she must think not of two hundred and four, but three hundred and four, four hundred and four, or go back by herself.

"Third sister, you look at the full sisters, I'll go first. ”

"Oh"

When she heard the sound of the door outside, the third sister, who was still in a trance, was excited, and ordered the younger sisters who were still laughing: "You guys, go to bed, close your eyes, and sleep!"

"Oh", the four little guys who were having fun were glared at by the third sister, and went to bed for a lunch break with their mouths pouted.
