Chapter Eighty-Three: Mrs. Wu's First Shop
When Xu Ming and Xu Lie finally got through the predicament after all kinds of setbacks, sat in the company's conference room to summarize the lessons learned and plan the company's future key development directions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoMrs. Wu is busy preparing for the opening and renovation of her first store.
At this time, it was already the end of summer. The noisy chirping of cicadas makes people distracted on a sweltering summer afternoon. But Mrs. Wu happily went back and forth between the rental house and the storefront every day.
But after only two or three months of part-time work, she already has her own small shop, which even surprised herself. But she was full of ambition and overjoyed, and she believed that all this was not an accident, but the result of her own hard work. Originally, she was a proud person in her bones.
The owner of the fast-food restaurant where she works is getting sicker, and the proprietress needs to spend more time taking care of him, so naturally she has no time to take care of the business in the store. Although Mrs. Wu is diligent and thrifty, works hard, regards this restaurant as her home, and hopes to do more to help the proprietress more, she has never been able to save the proprietress who wants to transfer this fast food restaurant.
Originally, this small shop mainly relied on selling cheap buns, fried dough sticks and fried rice, and the profit was not high. In the past, it was carried by the couple and their husbands, and there was no expenditure on personnel salaries, so the profit was still good. But now in this situation at home, the proprietress has no time to take care of him, and with the salaries of two more people, they can barely earn enough to pay the rent. Coupled with the need for money for hospitalization, they thought about subletting the store. The proprietress said: "While the business is good now, you can transfer a few more money, don't delay it for a long time." It will be even more pitiful then. ”
Mrs. Wu has been working in this store for these days, and she feels that she likes it very much, and she is reluctant to leave, but she is afraid that the new boss may not necessarily return to herself, and she thinks that she can actually try to do it herself. I talked to the proprietress about subleasing this store. The proprietress was in a hurry to get rid of it, and she had been getting along well with Mrs. Wu, so she happily offered the price.
"The rent is still 10,000 yuan per month for two months, and I don't want you much. There are also these cooking utensils, tables and chairs, which cost about 5,000 yuan when I bought them, and they should have been depreciated for you, but you see that we are in a difficult situation now. Even if you go to buy it, you have to delay the time turn, so you should help me, you want the original price. Also, you see that our store traffic has been good, you know, you see if you can give some hard-earned money. Give me three and a half thousand, okay? ”
The proprietress is indeed a kind and simple person, Mrs. Wu thought, even if she asked for more and said more prices, she was willing to rent. Having worked all these days, she knew they were small businessmen with a conscience. Fillings and flour used to make steamed buns are all good ingredients. Unlike some black-hearted shopkeepers exposed on TV.
"Okay, then I'll give you 30,000 yuan, can you see it?" Mrs. Wu said, "Originally, I should have given you more, but I also borrowed this money from my family." I also just started doing this, and I don't know what investment I need in the future, so I don't dare to give it to you. You still owe me a month's salary, 1600, I only need 1,000, and you buy some nutrition for my eldest brother for 600, which is a piece of my heart. Do you think so? "The first time Mrs. Wu talked to someone about business, the other party was not only her first serious proprietress but also a poor person with a sick person at home, so naturally she believed what people said.
The two women discussed that the shop would have a new owner. The two signed some documents and contracts under the guidance and help of Zhou Hong, and went to some government departments to complete various documents. Mrs. Wu has this small shop called "Furen Fast Food".
Originally, Zhou Hong suggested that she not change her name, but she felt that it was just the right time to take advantage of the students' holidays to clean up and take care of it. He ruthlessly changed the signboard and cleaned and decorated the store by himself.
The first thing we did was to move the counter from the back kitchen to the front hall, so that customers could see the whole process of making the food, giving them more peace of mind. You can also vacate the back kitchen, paste some wallpaper to clean it and live by yourself, just save the money of renting a house.
At this time, Mrs. Wu was busy moving the clothes and utensils from the rental house to the store.
"Sister Furen, Sister Furen." It was Zhou Xiao's voice. "Where are you going this midday?"
Zhou Xiao took a bag of luggage from Mrs. Wu's hand and carried it in his hand. Since Zhou Xiao's sister-in-law was out of confinement, Zhou Xiao has been helping in Zhou Hong's store, and because they are all in the university town, the store is not very far away, Zhou Xiao often comes to chat with Mrs. Wu.
"Well, I moved to live in the store, and I just bought some wallpaper, and you go with me to paste it, just right."
"Well, okay, but where is there a place to stay in that store?" Zhou Xiao asked curiously.
"You'll know when you get there." Mrs. Wu pulled Zhou Xiao to trot all the way, and arrived at the store after a while. Although they were sweating, the two of them were still giggling and laughing. Mrs. Wu likes to be with Zhou Xiao, eighteen years old, cheerful, simple, beautiful and enthusiastic, with her, she always makes herself feel a lot younger.
"Wow, Sister Fu, you're so amazing!" In such a short period of time, the original furnishings of the store have been turned upside down, the stove has been moved to the front hall, and the tables and chairs have been replaced with new seat covers and tablecloths. "Hey, that's it, Sister Fu, your console occupies so much space, isn't it necessary to put fewer tables and chairs and fewer customers?"
"Well, there are too many customers and I can't keep busy. I'm not going to ask for help. I don't know if the business will work yet. ”
Mrs. Wu walked around the neighborhood and found that there were too many of the same dishes on the street as this shop, and she planned to stop buying steamed buns and fritters after the reopening.
Originally, these things are time-consuming and labor-intensive, not to mention that the price is not high, there is a lot of competition, and the profit is low. Before, she heard Xu Ming say that it is necessary to differentiate the competition, have characteristics, and have its own unique selling points in order to have its own competitive advantage.
"I'm going to sell meat buns and mutton soup instead, and when the meat and soup are cooked, they are simmered on the stove, and the dough can be made in advance, and then they can be baked on the stove. In this way, I have these ready at night and just wait at the front desk to sell them during the day. I've seen it, there is only one meat sandwich shop on this street far to the south, and it is not accompanied by mutton soup or cold skin, my combination is absolutely easy to sell. Mrs. Wu said with a smile.
Now when it comes to her ambitions, she always talks about it. "It's a little busier in the store, and I can handle it. Also, when it's not busy, I can deliver food to my door. Now that I'm just getting started, I'm nervous. In the future, if I make some money, I will replace all these old tables and chairs with hanging basket seats. Nowadays, I think college students are very particular about it, and I like to talk about a little mood. That appeals to them even more. Also, I plan to make some dumplings and wonton stew to freeze in the freezer and take them with me. Look, I bought a large freezer from the second-hand market, and I put a sticker of pink flowers myself, it looks good, right? ”
"Well, it's good-looking, it's really good-looking, you're like this, will you lose a lot of old customers." Zhou Xiao asked while nodding.
"Absolutely, but I feel like I'm going to have to do what I'm good at to last. I am good at making meat buns and mutton soup, and the mutton soup I make is loved by everyone in our village. "Wuda also loves to eat, Xu Ming also loves to eat, they both love to eat......
Mrs. Wu thought of this, and suddenly felt a little unhappy, in the days she left, Xu Ming didn't know if he had thought about her, his feet didn't know if he could go, and Wu Da, I don't know if he was discharged from the hospital, he should be discharged from the hospital, after all, he was taken care of by Jifu's sister-in-law. Xu Mingye doesn't have to worry about himself, he has such a large family, and he is so capable, he can ask for millions casually, why bother with her?!
In fact, at this time, it was the time when Xu Ming was the saddest and most worried. There are many things in the company, and it is not surprising that Brother Defu opened the phone and asked where Mrs. Wu was, and the most important thing was that he learned that he didn't want to hear the news. Xu Wan told him that when Mrs. Wu left, she was walking with Wu Duo.
This news was brought back by Xu Wan's little girlfriend who rushed back and broke down and cried in Xu Wan's arms. Xu Wan had known the news for a long time, but he never told Xu Ming.
But then something happened to Xu Ming's company, and he thought that Xu Ming only thought about the reason why the woman had no intention of running it. It is naturally a big deal for a man to fall in love, but for the sake of a woman's depressed will to delay the foundation of her life, it is not worth it! In a fit of anger, he told Xu Ming that he was not 100% sure.
Mo Yuan went with Wu Duo, quietly, Wu Duo didn't know. After Wu Duo sent Mrs. Wu back to the hospital, he went back to the bar and stayed in the room that Mrs. Wu cleaned up and cleaned every day for five days. Mo Yuan flattered her every day by sending food and drink, but she didn't see a smiling face. On the fifth day, Wudo came out of the house with a black face and went away without looking back.
Mo Yuan didn't know where he was going, she was worried and scared, and she called Xu Wan but no one answered. She simply followed Wudo quietly.
Wudo drove back home, went to the bank, and drove the car back to the garage of his home. I called a taxi to the train station and got into the long queue to buy a ticket.
Mo Yuan didn't dare to come forward and ask him where he was going, so she had to talk nonsense with the conductor at the window, saying that she had a quarrel with her boyfriend, and her boyfriend ignored her and bought a train ticket by herself. She didn't know where he was going, and she couldn't find him, she was anxious, afraid that he would have an accident, and said that her boyfriend was a master who committed suicide at every turn.
The conductor relented for a while and asked her to report her boyfriend's ID number, checked it for her, told her to keep it secret, and then sold her an identical ticket.
She wrapped herself in a scarf and put on glasses, and watched Wu Duo get into the car from a distance, and when she went to her own carriage, she saw that Mrs. Wu was sitting inside.
"Did they elope?" Xu Wan thought, "Impossible, it must be that Wuduo ran away with others again." ”
"I quietly followed them all the way to see if they were going to a place, and although they didn't see each other or talk to each other in the car, they all got off at the same stop. It's the mountain city. Mo Yuan said.
"I saw that they all got out of the car, and I remembered to call you to see what I should do, who knew that I was patronizing them all the way, and the phone was stolen. Luckily, the bag was still there, so I bought another ticket and rushed back. Whining. ”
"Why don't you give me a call on the road! It's good to find someone to borrow your phone. Xu Wan reproached with a cold face.
"I'm anxious and scared. I'm afraid that Brother Wuduo will find out that I will beat me, and one of my nerves will be tensed, and I can't care about anything. I'm also anxious, I stabbed such a big basket and caused Brother Wuduo to become like that. Originally, staying by his side was to repay him, but now, not only did he not help, but also, alas, ......." Mo Yuan cried with red eyes.
"I don't blame you, don't worry, he's such a big person, probably upset to go out for a walk. When I go back to my hometown, I will probably be back in a short time. Xu Wan comforted Mo Yuan, he was very happy, he guessed correctly, this little girl's favorite is still him Xu Wan. In the future, Wu Duo will not be by her side, and the only person she can rely on and trust is him, Xu Wan, and she will not obey him?!
Xu Wan originally intended not to tell Xu Ming about this, but seeing that he was depressed day by day, he didn't care about the company's affairs. I thought of using a radical method to make Xu Ming die for Mrs. Nawu. Live your life well.
In fact, Xu Wan wasn't sure if the two of them went to one place, after all, they just got off the bus in one place, and they didn't see any communication between the two. It is also possible that the two went to different places after getting off the train. It's just that, how did Wu Duo know that Mrs. Wu left? This time, even he didn't know until Mrs. Wu was gone for a long time. Even Grandma Xu couldn't find out where Mrs. Nawu went. However, maybe Grandma Xu didn't inquire at all.
It's just that it backfired, Xu Ming, who was helping Xu Lie boost morale and start again, heard the news, and the company's affairs were directly put aside. He immediately prepared to leave for the mountain city to find Mrs. Nawu.
"Why, you're crazy, for a woman who doesn't want you, you don't even want your own company!!" Xu Wan said with a cold face, "I see that your feet are almost healed, but your brain is broken." ”
Xu Ming didn't pay attention to it, and made a few phone calls to get the ticket. He wants to take the fastest bullet train and get to the mountain city in the fastest time. Wudo followed her, that must not be. There's no way she's going to follow Takedo, it must be that Takedo doesn't know what he's done to blackmail her. She hadn't gone back to Wang's mother yet, and he had already asked someone to inquire about it. Where will she go? The mountain city is not big, but it is not small. He went, could he find her?
But right now, apart from going to her, letting her out of Takedo's control, and putting her in a safe environment, he doesn't want to do anything, he can't do anything.
