Chapter 114: Raising Funds
Chen Xiaoyu put a few things in her collection and put them on consignment with Grandpa Wang, she knew that her grandfather felt sorry for herself, and she had been immersed in this circle for many years, so he would definitely be much more reliable than looking for buyers outside.
So, she put her mind at ease and handed over the matter to Grandpa Wang, and she was still running around every day, busy.
Because of the funds, the progress of the decoration of the office is slow, Xiaoyu negotiated with the foreman several times, but he refused to pay attention to it, said too much, and even spoke ill of each other, Xiaoyu was not annoyed when he heard it, and still discussed the project with the other party softly the next day.
This office house is Chen Xiaoyu's eye at a glance, and she is naturally interested.
Chen Wenhui originally wanted to rent a few rooms in the newly built building in the city center as offices, glass curtain walls, and high-rise buildings, so that he looked modern and high-end.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaoyu actually took a fancy to such an old house.
The red brick walls, the gray pointed roof, the small courtyard outside, and a large acacia tree planted at the door, with dense plume leaves, sprinkled with a thick shade.
When Xiaoyu took the two of them to see the house together, it was dusk, the sunset was slanting, the sunset was molten gold, the breeze was coming, standing under the acacia tree, it was cool.
After entering the room, Wen Hui frowned slightly, the house was old, a dilapidated scene, the smell of rot and mildew hit, the floor creaked under his feet, the paint on the window lattices and door frames peeled off, and the lime on the wall fell, revealing the wall tiles inside, and the cobwebs criss-crossed.
Chen Wenhui frowned and looked at Chen Xiaoyu: "You really fancy the house as an office?" ”
Xiaoyu nodded, with excitement in her eyes, "Uncle, aunt, don't look at it like it is dilapidated, it's okay if it's renovated, and it's a quiet place here, with convenient transportation, and it's close to the university campus and museums around. ”
Wen Hui saw that she was so excited, and he didn't want to disobey her, so he just smiled and said nothing.
"Uncle, aunt, the most important thing is that the price here is also cheap, nearly half cheaper than the house you fancie, if you can agree, I will negotiate the price, maybe it can be cheaper."
Seeing that they were still hesitating, Xiaoyu said: "Uncle, aunt, don't worry, I will definitely transform this place well, and it will never affect the image of the company." ”
Chen Wenhui was silent, but Deng Hongmei whispered to him: "Wenhui, let's believe Xiaoyu, the price here is nearly half cheaper, if the rent can be lower, we can save a lot of money, you know, now our financial situation is ......"
Wen Hui nodded, "You're right, it's a rented house anyway, if our funds improve, it's not too late to change it, let's make up here now, Xiaoyu, you can negotiate the price with the other party, if it's less, let's rent it." ”
Chen Xiaoyu saw that they agreed, and she was so happy that she said yes again and again, almost excited.
Chen Wenhui and Deng Hongmei glanced at each other and shook their heads, how could such a dilapidated house make her so excited, if it weren't for the low price, she wouldn't have rented it here.
Chen Xiaoyu caught a glimpse of their disapproving expressions, and didn't say much, but she was extremely excited in her heart. This house is the old house of an old overseas Chinese, and it was returned to her daughter after the implementation of the policy, it was a woman with a bright smile, who was busy settling abroad, and asked people to take care of the house everywhere.
Xiaoyu negotiated with her again, for a period of three years, rent first and then buy, the woman saw that she really liked the house, and agreed, and the two sides signed a contract.
Seeing that this house is at her fingertips, Xiaoyu was so excited that she didn't sleep well for a few nights, and she couldn't wait to raise money immediately and buy this house, she took out the treasure in the box and turned it over, fiddled with it a few times, and felt that every treasure was hard-won, reluctant to sell, and these treasures have not yet been recognized, the market price is not high, and it must be a loss to shoot at this time.
After thinking about it again and again, I had to give up, reluctantly picked out a few items, and put them at Grandpa Wang to seek a buyer.
The area of this house is not large, Xiaoyu relied on her understanding of the decoration project and aesthetic cultivation in her previous life, drew the decoration drawings by herself, and found someone to construct it. When she took the decoration drawings to find the contractor of the engineering team, the rural man was dumbfounded, this little girl actually drew a drawing, let them build according to the drawings, and said that if the construction is not according to the drawings, the wages will be deducted.
Although the drawings are very simple, it is nothing more than how to go to the water pipes, how to arrange the wires, the floor is replaced with a new one, the walls are plastered, and the four white walls are on the ground, which makes them strange that there are so many sockets left on the wall.
Chen Xiaoyu came to see the progress every day, seeing the slow progress, he was very anxious, if it was in the previous life, this project would not have been so troublesome, the workers had their own modern tools for slotting, cutting and laying, but in the current situation, it was completely dependent on the workers to smash out one by one, Xiaoyu sat at the gate of the yard and watched the workers shirtless, sweating like rain in the sun, and her heart was extremely anxious.
The future is bright, the road is tortuous, and the most important thing is to pass the current hurdle.
A few things placed in Grandpa Wang's place, have not found a suitable buyer, Xiaoyu did not dare to urge, the funds in her hands are getting less and less, Deng Hongmei can't get more money in her hands, the original order needs to pay for the goods, buy furniture, everything costs money.
When I returned to my grandmother's house at night, I couldn't help but be a little depressed, I turned out the box from under the bed, looked at the baby in the box in a daze, and thought, or I would pick out a few better ones, and go to the antique market to try my luck.
When he was sighing, Chen Wenguang knocked on the door and came in, looked at her sad appearance, and asked, "What's wrong?" Fiddling with your old antiques again? Said and shook his head, "Tsk, I said that you are a little girl, why are you different from girls, people like beautiful clothes and shoes, glamorous, you hold this gray thing all day long, and you don't make a few new clothes after work, you are white shirts and pants all day long, which looks like a girl." ”
Chen Xiaoyu glanced at him, "Uncle, you have been in the entertainment venue for a long time, and you are surrounded by girls with flowers, and your taste is getting more and more tacky." ”
Wen Guang approached and knocked one of her hairy chestnuts, "Girl, do you dare to say that I am vulgar?" ”
"Originally, you haven't seen the lotus for a long time, and you take the peony as the beauty. My white shirt and pants don't look good, and I go to the construction site every day, and what kind of body I wear like that. ”
Wen Guang sat down on the chair opposite her, crossed Erlang's legs, and said idly, "By the way, I heard that you invested money in Wen Hui's company, is there such a thing?" ”
Wen Guang went to follow a group of friends to the field for many days some time ago, and just came back, Chen Xiaoyu didn't know about the shares, and today he went to the eldest brother and sister-in-law to send souvenirs, and only after hearing Wen Bin and Lan Yin complain.
"I want to buy shares, but I haven't invested the money yet."
"You don't have any money, why didn't you come to your second uncle, did you forget it? I owe you a debt that I haven't paid. ”
"A debt to me?" Chen Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and her face was dazed.
