Chapter 74: Business Opportunities (2)

When he first came to live at the Normal University, Li Dan saw that the house opposite the guard's room was still empty, and his heart was alive at that time. Could she rent this place in advance and open her own grocery store? She promises to make a lot of money in a few years.

The idea is very good, but it is shy in the pocket, and it cannot be implemented if there is a plan.

Besides, although no one has seen this business opportunity yet, it doesn't mean that anyone who wants to open a store here can open it.

Li Dan had neither money nor anyone at the beginning, so he could only stare dryly.

After this busy holiday, she has saved a small amount of money in her hand, which is enough as a start-up capital.

In addition, I heard Zhang Shulan say by chance that the school intends to rent out the house, but it is only an internal rent of the Normal University. She begged Zhang Shulan to run for her, of course she didn't run in vain, she took out two thousand five thousand just for the benefit fee, Zhang Shulan five hundred, and Director Liu two thousand. (At this time, two thousand and a half were worth a worker's wages for several months.) )

It is said that money can make ghosts grind, and from the time I got the news to today, it was less than 20 days before and after, and the contract was signed.

Moreover, according to her intentions, the lease period was changed from one year to five years, and the rent could be appropriately increased with market needs within a reasonable range, but the range could only be 10% of the rent. There is also the fact that she rents a house to do petty business, as long as Li Dan does not do illegal things, the school has no right to interfere.

These are all formulated by Li Dan because she was afraid that after she started the grocery store, some people would trouble her. Of course, even if you have these, you don't necessarily have to avoid people who are looking for trouble. But there is always an extra layer of protection.

The contract was signed with the intention of both parties and went very smoothly.

After Li Dan pulled Zhang Shulan back to the bedroom, he took the key he had just gotten from Director Liu, opened the house he had just rented and went in to take a look.

Li Dan didn't have any good things, just a few broken stools and a few broken tables, I don't know who threw them in what year.

Zhang Shulan stood at the door and looked in.

"Li Dan, this house has been left for too long, and the underground ash is old and thick, so you have to clean it well before you can use it. If you don't need those tables and chairs, throw them out. They are all missing arms and legs. Keeping it is also taking up space. ”

Li Dan didn't like to be buried, and stepped forward to pull those tables and chairs, hoping to find surprises from a pile of rags, which were all habits that had just been formed.

Stop. It really made her see two able-bodied chairs. It was an unexpected surprise.

"Hmm. I've taken a full day off today, and I'll clean it up in a moment while I'm free. Aunt Zhang has to borrow your cleaning tools to use. Li Dan pulled the good chair aside. Keep rummaging.

"Oh, it's not a good thing, you just have to use it and get it." Zhang Shulan looked at Li Dan's behavior of picking up rags with some disdain, but she didn't show it in front of Li Dan.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm embarrassed enough to trouble you for a holiday, now you have helped me so much, and I will continue to trouble you in the future, I don't know how to thank you." Li Dan turned his head and cast a grateful look. Regarding Zhang Shulan's sometimes contempt, Li Dan knows in her heart that she is only in a cooperative relationship with her, and there is no need for her family to identify with her, as long as she can take the money to do things for herself.

"Oh, you kid, what are you polite to your aunt, it's just a matter of a few words. But this contract is signed, and my aunt really has no bottom in her heart, such a broken bungalow, the rent is not much, and it is not too much, if you don't have a good charter, it will also be paid every year. Zhang Shulan pursed her lips, and said as if she didn't want to ask and had to ask: "Li Dan, you have a real deal with Aunt Zhang, what do you want to do with renting this house?" ”

In Director Liu's office just now, Li Dan paid a full 2,000 yuan in rent, and that was only a year, and Li Dan will have to pay the rent to the Normal University at this time next year.

Li Dan had already completed the inspection at this time, and found a total of four chairs and a table in good condition.

"Aunt Zhang, I want to open a grocery store here." Li Dan didn't hide it anymore, and directly said his plan, after all, the contract was in hand, and it would not be easy for anyone to warn her in the next five years. Besides, her grocery store will open soon, and now she will hide it from Zhang Shulan, and she won't be able to hide it when the time comes, and she will offend people, so she won't do it.

"Grocery store?" At this moment, Zhang Shulan was also moved, but thinking about the risks, she calmed down again, "Can you really make money by opening a grocery store here?" It's not that my aunt poured cold water on you, many of our students at Normal University are not in good conditions at home, so spend money carefully, don't lose money if you open a grocery store here. ”

"Probably not." That's definitely not possible, but Li Dan can't say that, "The main thing is that I don't have any money in my hand now, and the grocery store is still relatively safe, I'll invest less first, try the water, if it works, I can do it little by little, if not, I won't lose much." When the time comes, just cash it out. ”

Zhang Shulan didn't believe much in Li Dan's words, who knew that she would do this desperately without making money, wouldn't that be a fool, but if she was asked to say that she would make more money by opening a grocery store here, she wouldn't believe it. So she's conflicted right now.

Li Dan didn't have time to give her psychological counseling, she still had a lot of things to do.

"Aunt Zhang, I don't have anything to do, you have been working for me all morning, this black miasma, you can't stay longer, I'll send you back to rest for a while, just borrow a broom and rag or something."

"Oh, what's the rest, you're busy here, how can Auntie just watch, I'll help you do something, and you can clean it up quickly." Zhang Shulan said politely, but her body followed Li Dan's words and walked outside.

Li Dan couldn't see it, and besides, she really didn't expect Zhang Shulan to help, so she quickly pulled people out, and brought basins, rags, brooms and mops by the way.

Although this house has been vacant for many years, it is only a lot of dust inside, just wipe it carefully.

Busy until the afternoon, this house of less than 60 square meters let her clean the windows.

Then Li Dan returned the borrowed tools. By the way, I talked to Zhang Shulan and left in a hurry. She still has a lot of things to do, this house needs to be simply renovated, at least the walls need to be painted, and a small warehouse will be separated. You also have to apply for a business license. Also contact the supplier, etc.

After returning to school, Li Dan directly asked Wei Jinyan for a week off on the grounds that there was something at home, Wei Jinyan only learned about Li Dan's mother's best not long ago, so he was not embarrassed, but he looked at Li Dan with a trace of unbearable eyes.

Indeed, although Li Dan had already said in public that he had disowned his family, he would support himself in the future. But a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child who is still studying. If you don't have time, energy, or craftsmanship, it's so easy to support yourself. So most people think that she is angry, and when the anger is gone, she will not have to go home.

Li Dan didn't pay attention to these at all, after she took the leave. I started to get busy everywhere.

She was the first thing she did. It is to go to the industrial and commercial bureau to apply for a business license.

No one. When going through the formalities, he can only go through the formal way, which can keep Li Dan busy.

When she went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau for the first time, she had just explained her intentions. asked a clerk to drive him out, without saying anything, he just pointed to the wall and circled Li Dan.

No one gave an answer, so I could only patiently read the propaganda board on the wall, and I knew that it was not so easy to open a supermarket, and it was necessary to follow the regulations step by step.

With a pen and paper in hand, she carefully recorded the steps of the procedure and the documents to be prepared.

In the afternoon, I came to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau again, this time to apply for a food circulation license.

As a result, the procedure was correct, but there was a problem with the documents. Li Dan's ID card copied outside or something, people said that it was unqualified, and it had to be recopied in their department.

Li Dan maintained a skeptical attitude at that time, it is still possible to say that the photo is unqualified, after all, some places have certain requirements for the background color of the photo, some need a blue background, and some need a red background.

Although she had doubts in her heart, she knew that Hades was so difficult to see imps, and if she was really more serious with others, it was estimated that she would have to wait for her business license. So in front of the evil forces, Li Dan succumbed.

Looking at the few pieces of paper that were no different from the photocopied documents she had brought, she happily took out the money.

Then I was told to come and collect my certificate in 20 working days.

Li Dan stood in the corridor frowning and struggling for a while, and finally resolutely walked into the office just now, and finally got the good news that he could get the certificate the next day when his wallet was deflated.

Li Dan looked at her watch when she walked out of the office building, it was only about three o'clock in the afternoon, and there was enough time, so she quickly ran to the bottom of Qinghongqiao, found two workers who painted white, and negotiated the price and construction period with people.

In the evening, she stayed directly at Zhang Shulan's place, and the school had already taken a week's leave, so it was not good to go back and live at night. Fortunately, this is a special period, and Li Dan is not so particular, so he calls the supplier in the mailroom of the dormitory at night.

Because Wang Jinzhi opened a grocery store at home, Li Dan already knew a series of processes, especially the supply part.

Because the conditions did not allow, Li Dan did not look far, and directly called to find a few businesses engaged in food retail in the wholesale market of the railway station.

After a few words, the other party knew that Li Dan was an expert, and there was less nonsense in his words, and as soon as the product name and price were reported, he waited for Li Dan to say the number of goods.

Li Dan weighed the existing savings in his hand, carefully selected some snacks that were easier to sell, and finally determined the type, quantity, total price and delivery time of the goods with someone, it was already two hours later.

The next day, Li Dan continued to go through the formalities, and after getting the food circulation license, he then paid the money to apply for the business license. This time, Li Dan learned to be smart, she did what people asked her to do, and she was only responsible for paying for it, and in the end she left for personal favors, and was notified to get a business license three days later.

In this way, she was busy inside and out for five days, and her small shop was basically ready, just waiting to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to open for business.

The white walls of the bungalow have just been painted, and the walls are not too dry, and a small warehouse of seven or eight square meters is simply separated by boards on the innermost side.

There is also a single bed on the side of the cottage that serves as a temporary resting place.

Outside, Li Dan was placed directly according to the small supermarkets of later generations, and the shelves and everything were bought from the second-hand market.

Due to the limited width of the house, Li Dan only placed four shelves in the room, one row by the walls on both sides, and the two rows in the middle were back to back, leaving two fairly spacious lanes.

There was a glass counter at the door, and a chair behind it, which was reserved for the cashier, and the glass counter was full of cigarettes.

When Li Dan applied for a business license, she saw that there was a tobacco retail business license, she gritted her teeth, and went to spend more than a favor fee to get it.

And then there is the most important one, which is the problem of personnel.

Li Dan still has school to go to, and it is impossible to keep an eye on it every day, so when she signed the contract, she asked Zhang Shulan to help find a suitable clerk.

Li Dan mainly focuses on the teachers and students, who have more time, and if they find two people to watch the store, they should be able to reverse the class.

Three days later, Zhang Shulan found someone for her, and after a preliminary interview, the two girls were good, both were rural children, and they looked quite honest. Li Dan also stayed.

Five days later, Li Dan didn't wait for a hurry, he calculated a good day for himself, and at 4:58 in the afternoon, a thousand firecrackers were set off at the door of the bedroom, and the store was officially opened.

In ninety-five years, supermarkets had not been widely spread, and the most common people saw were grocery stores, so Li Dan's small supermarket was opened because of a group of college students.

Li Dan was also prepared for this situation, so he directly bought a loudspeaker, recorded the products and prices on sale in the store, and put them at the door to play them over and over again.

Not to mention, it may be that college students are more open-minded, always maintain a spirit of exploration for new things, and have a strong ability to accept new things. It may also be that the loudspeaker at the door does play a role in publicity, so that the majority of students know that the price of goods here is slightly cheaper than the usual purchase. It is also possible that Li Danxuan opened at a good time, just in time for students to leave school at night, and many people have just returned to the dormitory from the teaching building. Therefore, there are still quite a lot of students who enter the small supermarket, whether they buy it or not, they all squeeze in to see if it is fresh.

It wasn't until more than eight o'clock in the evening that the small supermarket was quieter, looking at the messy appearance of the shelves, Li Dan was busy supporting the clerks to work.

"Sister Meizi, go and see the instant noodles, it seems to be out of stock." Instant noodles are the most popular food for students today, so the shelves of instant noodles have been replenished several times this night.

"Sister Sirou, when there is no one, you can check whether the cigarettes sold today can match the accounts." In order to let the two clerks enter the role as soon as possible, Li Dan was responsible for running errands tonight, and the job of the cashier was to let the two employees take turns.

Han Mei and Li Sirou are Li Dan's two employees, Han Mei is a freshman, and Li Sirou is already a senior.

Through this night's observation, Li Dan felt that these two people were doing a good job, Han Mei was a little spicy, but there was work in her eyes, and some jobs could be done by herself without Li Dan saying it. Li Si is very good, not very active, but he also does whatever he wants.

It wasn't until half past nine in the evening, when the lights in the dormitory were about to turn off in another hour, that the small supermarket closed. (To be continued......)
