vs 173 Let's go home (2)
The business of Fangdi hot pot restaurant is getting worse, Cao Xun is in a troubled city, but it is Lu Li, the boss, who doesn't take this matter to heart at all, he looks forward to returning home every day, and surprises his aunt and Liang Wei, often laughing out loud!
Before leaving, he went to Kangci Orphanage again, bought a lot of dolls, toys, and children's favorite snacks as usual and sent them over, and played with Ding Leilei for a day.
He was in a really good mood, and although business came to a standstill, it was nothing -- all kinds of gourmet restaurants in Hong Kong were blooming almost everywhere, and every day I don't know how many new ones opened and how many closed, and Hong Kong people had too many choices in addition to their appetites. As a result, the choice of the store has also become more and more popular, unless it really has very distinctive characteristics, and the preference for a diet will not last for a long time; Speaking of which, Fangdi hot pot restaurant has gone through a climax period of nearly half a year since its opening, and it is still beyond his expectations!
As for the current business is not very good, it can be solved in minutes, as long as you go to Sichuan, buy some necessary things back, the problem will be solved. got off the minibus not far from Dajiao Street, humming a minor tune and returning to the store, Gu Zhong and Cao Xun sat face to face, holding their cheeks in their hands, all of them looked helpless, "Brother Li, are you back?" ”
"yes, it's back, how's it going, what's the matter?"
"No," Gu Zhong said, he yawned heavily, as if he couldn't wake up: "It's just that there's nothing, that's why it's uncomfortable." Ricgo. Business is getting worse day by day, what should I do? ”
"Afraid of what? I borrowed 3 million Hong Kong dollars from Mrs. Ou for this store, I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? ”
"That's not what I said, Brother Li, we all have a lot of hard work in the hot pot restaurant. This...... I don't know what you think, anyway, I'm uncomfortable to death. ”
Lu Li smiled, pulled a chair and sat down, "Don't worry, business has not been good these days, and it will be so good that you will be tired in the future!" Not to mention, I'm going to take a trip to Sichuan this time and buy some things. When the time comes, it will be added to our hot pot to ensure that the guests will eat hard and linger. ”
"You're fucking fine, you know how to make a whole word!" Xu Yunjian seemed to disdain what he said, "Xiaoxiao, really, don't have fun, hurry up and think of a way, right?" ”
"There's no good way to get through this period at the moment. Gu Zhong. After we leave, you will be in charge of the business. If there is a guest, greet him; It's nothing if you don't have it, but there is one thing, Xiao Meng and Xiao Guo can't let them go. They've matured when it comes to serving customers – I don't want to waste time training new staff when business gets better. Got it? ”
"Brother, if you don't have a business, they ...... Isn't this taking money for nothing? ”
"Taking money for nothing is also taking my money, why are you in a hurry?" Luli gave him a blank look, pushed away his chair and stood up. "Cao Xun, Xu Yunjian, Danzi, clean up, we'll leave this afternoon."
"Oh, I remember, Liego, Alan just called and asked you to go to him if you have time, as if you have something to tell you."
"Do you know what's going on?"
Gu Zhong frowned and thought for a while, "He didn't say it carefully, but he said that it was the last time you asked him." ”
Please, his business? Luli recalled it for a while, and suddenly remembered that it was a matter of the house! He couldn't help laughing, "I know, Xu Yunjian, Cao Xun, Danzi, go with me, let's take a look?" ”
Several people were infected by his happy emotions, and the corners of their mouths were also curled funny, "Xiaoxiao, what's the matter?" ”
"It's a matter of the house, I asked Alan to help pay attention to it last time, and notify me if there is a suitable one, it may be that there is news about this matter. Let's go, go and see, and if it's right, pay for it! ”
"You...... Got a house in Hong Kong? Didn't you say you wouldn't be able to stay for a few years and go back? ”
"Isn't there a place to live? What's the deal with always living upstairs in a hot pot restaurant? Luli said, "Quick, go together." Also help me with the staff officer. ”
Xu Yunjian and Cao Xun have an indispensable attitude towards this, they don't know how much the housing prices in Hong Kong are, but I heard Gu Zhong say that even if it is not a very expensive location, it will be sold for 3-500 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, so if it is calculated, the total number of units where the family lives will be between 20-300,000 Hong Kong dollars. Isn't it a waste to spend so much money to buy a house, and again when you have a house to live in? But at the moment, there was nothing to do, and I followed him as if I was walking around the corner to Zhang Dadong's law firm in Causeway Bay.
When I asked at this point, it was really for this matter," ...... I have a friend of a friend's friend who immigrated to Canada and was ready to sell the house he originally lived in. He's still in the process of raising funds, so he's in a hurry, and if you're going to buy his house, you'd better hurry. The specific environment, in the central district, the environment is quite good, and it is also very elegant, of course, you have to make your own decision. ”
"How much does he want?"
"At least 750,000."
Lu Li frowned deeply, it's not that he can't get such a number, but in the recent period, the business of the hot pot restaurant is not very prosperous, and this situation will last for at least about two months, during this period, the salaries of employees, various miscellaneous expenses inside and outside the store, must be prepared from the books, and more importantly, according to the contract when he asked Ou Pei Linying to borrow, after half a year, he has to repay one-third of the amount, so that under the deduction, the funds that can be mobilized are very limited.
"How's that, Xiaoxiao, is it difficult to get this price?"
Lu Li nodded, and did not hide him, turned his head and asked Cao Xun, "Old Cao, if you spend this part of the money, do you have a problem persisting until the end of June?" ”
Cao Xun also felt a little embarrassed, Lu Li's attitude was very clear, although he was asking himself, he had already made up his mind in his heart! "It's not a problem, but it's stressful. Not to mention, even the funds we are going to pick up the goods in Pengcheng will also be affected. ”
"So?" Luli thought about it for a moment. "Alan, shall we go and have a look? Let's take a look at the house first, how about it? ”
"Okay." Zhang Dadong got up briskly, drove downstairs, and led the four of them to the so-called central district. Along the way, Zhang Dadong kept introducing them. In fact, Lu Li and others have lived in Hong Kong for a while, and have a little understanding of the geography here, and the Central District is one of the famous and prosperous areas of Hong Kong, the most famous is the Hong Kong Park on Cotton Tree Road. Covering an area of 100,000 square meters, it is known as Hong Kong's 'Central Park'.
The six-story building he found in Kennedy Town, the westernmost part of the Central District, parked his car and pulled out a bunch of keys. "On the third floor, Tower A. I'll take you up and see it. ”
There is an elevator in the building, take the elevator upstairs, each floor is three independent units, namely A, B, C blocks, open the door, is a bright and spacious living room, the area is 50 square meters. The living room is connected to the dining room. The kitchen is located in a row of stainless steel sinks, and a glass dining table and chairs with a length and width of 8x6 are neatly arranged in the dining room. It looks so clean and pleasing to the eye.
On the other side of the spacious living room, there is a staircase that turns upwards, "the main bedrooms are upstairs, and there are them here, but they are for guests." ”
Luli nodded. Walking a few steps around the hall, there is a heavy Dobler tufted carpet under your feet, which is soft and comfortable to step on. "Here, it seems that the host's family has left in a hurry. Didn't take any furniture with you? ”
"It's like this here in Hong Kong, where many families leave their furniture with some necessary electrical appliances for the buyers." Zhang Dadong explained: "Of course, if you don't like it, you can replace them yourself. ”
"Shall we go upstairs and have a look, shall we?"
"Absolutely." Zhang Dadong doesn't look like a master at this time, but seems to have changed his identity to become a real estate broker, for fear that the guests he recruited will not cost money, leading the way in front, everyone went up to the second floor, here is a corridor that is not too long, there are two doors on each side, there is another one at the end of the corridor, the lights are on, the door is hidden, "There are four bedrooms in total, and the one opposite is the bathroom." Also, in one of the rooms, there's another bathroom, well, I'll look for it, which one is it? ”
He pushed open the door by door and looked at it, and soon found it, "This is it, this one." In terms of design, this room is the bedroom of the male and female masters, especially with a separate bathroom, which is more convenient and more private. ”
Xu Yunjian took a few curious probes to take a look, the area of the house is really not very large, but the appearance of eleven or twelve square meters, at most no more than fourteen square meters, the central position is a big double bed, there are table lamps on both sides, there are mattresses on the bed, and the other bedding has been taken away by the original owner - this kind of very personal item must not be left for strangers to use - Zhang Dadong said.
Apart from a large bed, the only thing left in the room was a large cabinet against the wall, with a golden gold color and metal handles. "It's a big closet, isn't it?" Li Tiehan asked.
"It can't be said to be a large wardrobe, mainly a place for men and women to put some of their own private belongings."
"Why is it so private? Are you all like this in Hong Kong? ”
Zhang Dadong was amused by Xu Yunjian's words, "That's right, Mr. Xu, if you live here one day, you don't want you and your wife to let others flip things casually, right?" Or if you want to, and your wife won't? ”
In the light laughter of everyone, Lu Li walked to the window and looked down, where he had parked just now, "Allen, is 750,000 the lowest price?" ”
"Well, I can't say. However, the other party is in a hurry, and I think there should be room to reduce the price. ”
"I bought it."
"Tiny?"
Lu Li waved his hand and stopped Cao Xun, "Lao Cao, buying a house here for me and Liang Wei to live in is secondary, mainly because I want to take my aunt to live in the future, can you say that let the old lady and us squeeze upstairs in the hot pot restaurant?" That's too inconvenient! Besides, after the old lady is gone, this is the home of our brothers. Whatever you should do during the day, you will come back here at night to eat and sleep. The house here is also spacious and comfortable. ”
"I ......" Cao Xun hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiaoxiao, I didn't mean that I didn't agree with you to buy it, but in terms of money, let's spend it like this, it's a bit much?" ”
"Don't worry, my Lord!" One sentence made everyone laugh, "I will find a way to deal with money, and making money is to spend it, you get a room of banknotes and pile them up to look at paintings, isn't that the same as paper?" Let's settle this matter. ”
"Xiaoxiao, are you sure you bought it?"
"I bought it, I'll go back later, and I'll transfer money to you from the bank first, well, in addition, I have to go back to the mainland recently, so I'll entrust this matter to you as much as possible." Alan, I have only one request, to keep the price down for me as much as possible. Any other formalities will be handled by you. ”
Zhang Dadong laughed, "I didn't say it." Guaranteed to do it for you. ”
**********************************
After all this was done, it was almost dusk, and Xu Yunjian, Cao Xun, and Li Tiehan walked behind him muttering, whispering, "...... Grandson stuff, it's so easy to be fooled! What's 750,000? Good guys, think the money is all blown by the wind? ”
"You don't talk nonsense." This is Li Tiehan's voice, "You don't know your little temper, if you get involved with his aunt, there is no reason to say it at all." ”
"Or the second egg knows him," Cao Xun said in a low voice: "However, I'm just afraid that Allen will pit us, and we haven't seen the owner of the house, anyway, I just listened to him, Xiaoxiao too, so I believe him?" ”
Lu Li turned around and smiled, "Cao Xun has said that he has a home." ”
"Huh? Did you hear that? ”
"I hear you."
Cao Xun quickened his pace, walked side by side with him, and asked, "Then what do you say?" ”
"Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people. Alan and I are friends, and without knowing for sure that he is 'riding a donkey (i.e., taking kickbacks)' in the middle of this, I believe him as much as I believe in your brothers. ”
Cao Xun nodded with a sigh and said, "I know your temper, and I have never been defensive of my friends. But...... Isn't that a small amount? ”
Lu Li turned his head to look at Cao Xun and the others, and said, "I understand what you mean." But seriously, Cao Xun, in this matter, you are right to be worried. I know what's wrong with me. I always feel that what I do to others, they will do to me. We buddies have been going on for so many years, don't you understand? Let's talk about buying a house this time, I will leave everything to him, if he is willing to associate with me, he will naturally not lose my money; Otherwise, it's only one time to do this kind of business with him, and never mention it again, isn't it? ”
"Use more than 700,000 to verify whether a person is of the same mind as you, this ...... Isn't it a little too expensive? ”
Luli burst out laughing! "Cao Xun, you're thinking too much, what about the house? Aren't we going to get a house? Although I don't understand how expensive real estate in Hong Kong is, how can such a house be more than 500,000 yuan? So, how much money can he make us? It's only 250,000 at most, right? With this little money, he is rich and I am poor? ”
"So, that's it?" Xu Yunjian asked from behind.
"What else?" Lu Li smiled and said, "Don't think so much about it now, let's go home tomorrow!" (To be continued......)
