Chapter 593: He Shao: Ye likes to be relied on by his daughter-in-law
Ideas, of course, don't.
To be honest, Aunt Zhou received the material package sent by He Wei, and listened to her daughter read what He Wei said in the letter about wanting to open a patchwork handicraft shop in Chonglin and hire her and two other little sisters who went to the welfare home to do clothes as long-term helpers in the store, and tears of joy came out.
But there is a lot of investment in the premise of opening a store, and He Wei is a student in school, Aunt Zhou asked embarrassedly: "Weiwei, don't blame your aunt for speaking badly, this opening a store is not a trivial matter, have you made it clear to your family?" In case of...... I mean, in case you lose or don't make much, wouldn't it be ...... if you spend so much effort?"
He Wei took over with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, I have all the funds to open the store." Not only me, but also my two sisters invested in shares and supported me unconditionally. As for the profit and loss after opening, it still depends on our efforts, right? Any business has risks, the early preparation is sufficient, the later efforts have been made, if you can't support it, it can only mean that I am not this material, let's find another suitable opportunity. ”
Hearing He Wei say this, the uneasy boulder in Aunt Zhou's heart completely fell to the ground, and she responded happily: "That's done!" Auntie you! Be sure to take a good look at the store! ”
Once the store was opened, the next step was to choose a location.
Zhou Ruolei chattered as if she had found an organization, and told her what she had just discussed with her family, and asked He Wei to be the referee: "Sister Weiwei, where do you say it's good?" I think there is a market at the school gate, and my brother has to say that there is only business in the lively area. ”
He Wei smiled and said, "That's why I'm here for this, I plan to stay here for three days, how about we go on a field trip?" ”
No one in the Zhou family objected.
Before He Wei came, she searched the Internet for a map of Chonglin City, which area is the prime location and which street has the most people, and she has a rough idea of which one has a rough bottom, but after all, it looks like it is "on paper".
Moreover, most of the judgments on the Internet are before the typhoon, and it is still unknown what will happen after the typhoon. Therefore, walking around the field is the fastest and best way.
But the Zhou family didn't have a car, He Xidong drove his father's SUV, although it was much more spacious than the average car, and it was no problem to seat four people in the back, but it could only seat four people, plus two seats in the front row, which could accommodate up to six adults.
In the end, Aunt Zhou didn't go, and asked her son and daughter to follow her to guide He Wei and his party.
I went to Zhou Ruolei's school first. Not far from the low-rent housing, across a two-lane Wutong Road, is the school gate of the primary school. There are indeed a lot of shops nearby, Xu is only in the sixth year of junior high school, the students are still on vacation, most of the stores are closed, but you can see the business content from the signboards, there are bookstores, stationery stores, bicycle shops, cold drink shops, fruit shops, grocery stores for two or five yuan, cheap cosmetics stores and so on.
But seeing that there are very few pedestrians on the road, and the plane trees on both sides of the road that have lost their leaves, it always gives people a kind of depression to rush, and He Wei silently crossed it.
"Go to Chunlei Street!"
With a wave of her hand, He Wei got in the car and went straight to Chunlei Street, which is relatively the most lively in Chonglin.
You can see how deserted the area of Wutong Road is.
It is also the sixth day of the new year, and none of the shops on both sides of Chunlei Street are not open. The streets were crowded with people, the sun was good, and everyone came out to shop and buy some gifts by the way.
However, rents in lively neighborhoods are bound to be expensive.
Sure enough, He Xidong found a commissary to buy drinks, and by the way, he asked the shopkeeper how much the rent was in this area, the shopkeeper shook his index finger at him, and He Xidong raised his eyebrows: "Ten thousand?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled but didn't say a word.
When I came back, He Wei was okay, I saw a lot of Haicheng and Kyoto, and the monthly rent in the bustling neighborhood even reached double digits, and the price of the shop on Chunlei Street was quite acceptable.
The brothers and sisters of the Zhou family are a little incompetent, Shenma! Such a small store actually costs 10,000 yuan a month's rent? Grab the money!
"That's too expensive, isn't it?" Zhou Ruolei jumped to her feet in a hurry, the patchwork handicraft shop must be at least twice the area of the commissary to operate, that is, it will take 20,000 a month, how many pieces of patchwork handmade products must be sold to pay off such an expensive rent.
Zhou Ruoming was just as staggering. Previously, it was said that the monthly rent in the downtown area was at least three or five thousand, but now it seems that three or five thousand is cheap, don't want it, could it be that he has been away from his hometown for too long and out?
"Don't worry, let's ask a few more, maybe the shopkeeper is telling us. Or check if there is a notice of transfer posted in front of the store, and call the landlord directly. ”
As soon as He Wei's voice fell, Yuanyuan took a notice of rent expiration and store transfer, and called according to the contact number above, answering a lady with a somewhat hoarse voice, who learned that she was here to ask the storefront at No. 123 Chunlei Street, and said apologetically in her tone: "I'm really sorry, the shop was rented out this morning, and I haven't had time to go to the door to tear off the paper posted." But I have another storefront, if you're interested, I'll take you around. ”
It turns out that the landlord lives upstairs of this storefront, and almost all the houses in this area are storefronts and residences, and the storefronts on the first floor, two, three, four, and five are all houses.
"Is this the charter wife mentioned in the book?" Zhou Ruolei's crisp voice sounded, "I will make money in the future, and I will also buy this kind of one-pass four-pass or one-pass five house, live on the top floor by myself, and rent it all downstairs, so that my mother will receive hand cramps when collecting rent." ”
Zhou Ruoming rubbed his sister's head, choked in his throat and couldn't speak.
He Wei smiled knowingly: "Okay, let's work together to realize the wish of the charter wife as soon as possible." ”
While talking, the landlord came over wrapped in a fat down coat, and saw that He Wei and his party were coming by car, and said with a smile: "The car will stop here, it won't take a few minutes to walk over, and if you don't like it, you will definitely have to come to this area when you turn around. ”
He Xidong then parked the car in the white line that allowed temporary parking, so as not to turn around and be labeled. Not to mention spending money in vain, how unfortunate it is for the New Year.
The landlord led them out of Chunlei Street, turned a right corner, and entered an alley half smaller than Chunlei Street, presumably a one-way street, and then walked a few meters to get there.
"How? I'm not lying to you, it's close to Chunlei Street, is it? And there are a lot of people on this road, more than ten meters ahead is Chonglin No. 1 Middle School, and then it is a training school, and the alley is a cultural center, and there will be traffic jams in this area during the rush hour. ”
The landlord said, took out the key and opened the roller shutter of the store, walked in and turned on the light, and motioned for everyone to look casually, "If my shop is not large, the people who come to see it are too expensive, where will there be a break, you see how many left and right, which one is not open every day?" Business is so good! ”
"Too expensive? How expensive is that? When Zhou Ruolei heard the word "expensive", she didn't have the heart to wander around, and blurted out to the landlord.
The landlord saw that it was He Wei who really wanted to rent a house, so when he said it, his eyes were looking at He Wei: "There are a total of 70 square meters upstairs and downstairs, and I don't charge much, make up a whole number, 200,000 a year." ”
200,000 a year, spread to 156,000 per month.
Zhou Ruolei "hissed", it's too expensive! The shops on Chunlei Street are only 10,000, which is so far away from Chunlei Street, although there are schools and public institutions, but people who have the heart to go shopping and buy things may not necessarily touch this alley. It actually costs 15,600 a month, is it really good to grab money so clearly?
"Sister Weiwei......" Zhou Ruolei pulled He Wei's sleeve and signaled her to think about it, although the upstairs and downstairs combined area is indeed quite large, but once the 200,000 rent is handed over, how can there be no business? You can't use it as a house, it's too extravagant.
"To be honest, 200,000 a year is really not expensive, and before the typhoon, I didn't have a monthly rent of 20,000 yuan in this shop. Don't look at it on Chunlei Street, but the flow of people on this road is really strong. I'm also happy, I see that the eldest sister is sincere in wanting to rent, so I didn't come with you, otherwise you go elsewhere and ask, the rent in this area is not cheaper than Chunlei Street. ”
He Wei is really moved, a large area has the advantage of a large area, that is, there is a place to stock up. Otherwise, just a twenty or thirty-square-meter storefront, a large pile of material packages and finished products, and where to put the rattan baskets and rattan baskets ordered by her grandfather? Is it possible to rent another warehouse? If you rent a warehouse, you have to prepare a car, and you have to hire someone to pull it, and it may not be more cost-effective than renting a large store.
Moreover, she just noticed that the neighbors of this shop sell milk tea and oden, as well as novels and videos for rent, which shows that most of the consumer groups are young and young. That's right! The cliff that is interested in patchwork handicrafts and rustic rattan products is that students, young female white-collar workers are more important than aunts.
Then he smiled comfortingly at Zhou Ruolei, and then finalized the lease of the shop with the landlord.
The landlord's eldest sister smiled very happily, and the shop that had been shelved for half a year was rented out again. Although the rent is much lower than before the typhoon, renting out means that you have money to get, so you can't be happy?
He Wei happily paid half a year's rent, and the other half waited until the third half of the rent was completed. This is the rule of renting a house in the Chonglin area.
After getting the store key, I will hand it over to Aunt Zhou when I turn around, and I have to trouble her to find someone to decorate.
At that moment, He Wei took out the steel ruler, level, compass and other surveying and mapping tools prepared in advance from her backpack, and asked her brother and Yuanyuan to help her pull the steel ruler, while she took a small notebook to record the size. I also quickly sketched a frame drawing of the store, and when I got home, I thought about how to decorate it.
Zhou Ruolei looked at He Wei and traced the frame of the shop in three or two clicks, and was surprised: "Sister Weiwei, you have also learned sketching, and the painting is really good." ”
He Wei glanced at her brother with a little weakness, and was secretly relieved to see that he and Yuanyuan were measuring the two sizes.
Among these people, the elder brother knows her life trajectory from childhood to adulthood the most, and only knows that she likes to draw, but painting well and learning sketching are completely different things, just like Zhou Ruolei has only studied for a semester, and she guessed from her painting posture. And she usually uses the word "like to paint" in front of her family, if Zhou Ruolei punctured the soap bubble and caused her brother's suspicion, how could it be broken?
Fortunately, my brother didn't pay attention. He Wei was relieved and continued to write down the size in the notebook, but ignored the dark-eyed owner beside her.
He Qingdong looked at Xiao Nizi's subconscious reaction in his eyes, squinted and raised his handsome eyebrows, but he didn't say anything.
I memorized all the dimensions, and then checked upstairs and downstairs and in the corners and corners, and the sun was greatly slanted westward.
But for He Wei, the harvest of this day is big enough. I thought it would be good to solve the shop in three days, but I didn't expect it to be done on the first day.
"Do you want to go for the next two days? Or will you go back tomorrow? He Wei asked everyone.
Zhou Ruolei hurriedly said: "Sister Weiwei, I'm here, let's play for two more days and then go back." In addition to the crab lake, we are also very famous for the big green mountains in the south of the city, and the sun is good in the first few days of the first month, so why don't I take you to climb the mountain. ”
When He Wei heard about climbing the mountain, she immediately thought of the wild plants on the hillside. It's all here, why not dig up some wild plants that aren't there in the space yet? It was so happily set!
So, in the next two days, the itinerary was full: the first day to climb Daqing Mountain, the next day to visit Fengxi Valley, are all lush natural gardens with wild plants and super good air.
Every day when she goes out, He Wei does not forget to bring a few convenient bags, and when she goes back to the hotel, other guests are all large bags of Chonglin souvenirs, but she is a bag of wild plants stained with mud foam to move to the room. Fortunately, the hotel staff didn't take a closer look, otherwise they would have stopped her from entering.
Chonglin souvenirs are not less bought, but they are all run by brother and Yuanyuan. She only cares about her wild planting.
Seeing that she was going back to Qing City the next day, He Wei decided to plant all the wild plants collected in the past two days into the space that night. Then pour out some of the spores that have grown into the space, so that the wild plants that have been dug up so hard in the past two days will not die or suffocate halfway.
Do what you think. She asked He Qingdong if he wanted to enter the space together, because it might take a lot of time to plant all the wild plants in these bags, and she was afraid that he would be bored outside.
He Qingdong didn't say a word and went in with her.
Seeing the piles of sundries in the pavilion opposite the Hot Spring Creek, He Qingdong twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "I'll help you get a warehouse out one day, what color wooden house do you like?" Or do you just use bamboo? ”
"Huh?" He Wei didn't react at once, and saw the pile of debris in the direction of his sight, and said with a dry laugh: "That, in fact, it doesn't matter if you put it like this, it doesn't rain here, the air is clean, and there is almost no dust." ”
He Qingdong glanced at her lightly.
He Wei immediately changed her words: "If you have time, then let's build a wooden house as a warehouse." Actually, I've wanted to build a wooden house for a long time, but I can't do it myself, and I'm afraid of delaying your work when I look for you......"
The corners of He Dashao's mouth turned up slightly: "I will take care of this matter, you can go to your school with peace of mind." "If you are dependent on Shenma by your baby daughter-in-law, don't have too much sense of accomplishment.
The two were busy transplanting wild plants and planning the wooden house in the space, and outside, He Xidong listened to the corner of the door for a while, and then said to himself: "Strange! Why is there no movement at all? Yesterday there was still the sound of TV and talking, and I slept so early today? ”
But it's better to have no movement than to have a lot of movement. It's best to sleep until dawn, and when you get home, you can defend the turnips, wrong, and most of the heavy responsibility of protecting your sister can be relieved.
The worried twenty-four filial brother went back to his room with confidence. (To be continued.) )
