Chapter 403: Buying a Shop
Liu Lao paused, and then said: "But there is one thing I want to criticize you, it is a complete waste for you to give me such a large piece of agarwood, I usually use it, just light a candle, this piece of white chess nan will be distributed to the Qinshu brothers and sisters, and you can take the piece back." β
"Master......"
Seeing that Chu Chen still wanted to persuade, Liu Lao waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, okay, it's settled, if you say again, I'll return all the things, do you believe it or not?" β
Chu Chen saw that Liu Lao was so resolute, so he could only do so.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After eating, Chu Chen took a stack of materials given to him by Liu Lao and said goodbye.
Although Liu Lao has no opinion on Chu Chen's gambling stone, but this is also without affecting Chu Chen's learning, fortunately, Chu Chen is talented, and it is not difficult for him to learn by endorsement, so after some research just now, Liu Lao showed a smile of satisfaction and relief.
Sending Chu Chen to the door, Liu Qinshu said a little apologetically: "Ah Chen, I'm really sorry, I bothered you just now." β
Chu Chen waved his hand, indicating that it was okay. Although he didn't agree with Liu Qinshu's handling method, there is a way that it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, after all, he is only Liu Lao's apprentice, and he is not good to comment on this matter.
"Achen, I want to ask you something."
"What's the matter, Sister Shu, even if you say it, as long as I can help, I will definitely help."
"That's right, I want to invite you and Ah Zhe to go to Wenmeimei's house during the winter vacation."
"I'm going?" Chu Chen asked a little strangely, he didn't know what the effect of such a thing would be for him.
"Yes." Liu Qinshu explained: "Because if we go, I'm afraid that Wen Meimei's mother will have an opinion about us. There are some things that are hard to say, let Ah Zhe go alone. He also said that he was afraid of seeing Wen Meimei's mother, so he could only trouble you to help him support the scene. β
Chu Chen secretly shook his head when he heard this. Liu Sizhe is really unlucky, he chased his cousin as his girlfriend by mistake, no wonder he was afraid of seeing Wen Meimei's mother.
"Okay, then just let Ah Zhe tell me before you go." Anyway, it was just to support the scene, and Chu Chen agreed to the matter.
After saying goodbye to Liu Qinshu, Chu Chen went to his house to take a look, and after entering, he found that Hu Yong was cleaning the room.
In fact, after returning to Beijing, Chu Chen planned to let Hu Yong go back. However, Hu Yong said that this was ordered by Chu Chen's grandfather, and unless Chu Chen's grandfather told him in person, he would definitely not go back. Knowing Hu Yong's tendon character, Chu Chen had something to do for the time being, and he didn't have time to go to his grandfather's house, so he could only leave him temporarily.
It's just that it's really inconvenient for Hu Yong to live on his parents' side, and it's better for someone to watch from Yuhuating's side, so Chu Chen sent Hu Yong here.
Looking at the room with a bright and clean window, Chu Chen said jokingly: "I said Hu Yong." You are a big man, and you are so good at hygiene, it seems that your future wife is very blessed! β
Hu Yong smiled and said: "It's just that I'm used to doing it at home before, practice makes perfect!" β
Think of sanitation. Chu Chen suddenly remembered whether he should hire a nanny, otherwise when his parents moved in, he might not have to let his mother do it herself. Of course, there are also part-time workers in the community. However, a family like him always hires part-time workers, and there is no guarantee of safety. Therefore, it is more appropriate to hire a regular nanny.
However, with the particularity of his family, he must not recruit a nanny casually, Genzheng Miaohong is a necessary condition, such a person, for a while, he really doesn't know where to find it, so he can only go back and discuss it with his parents first.
At this time, Hu Yong said casually next to him: "Brother Chu, you say that I have good hygiene, but in fact, someone is even better than me!" β
Hearing Hu Yong say such a sentence inexplicably, Chu Chen was really a little confused at first: "What does this have to do with me?" β
Hu Yong smiled, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said weakly: "This, Brother Chu, you don't recruit nannies with this trick!" β
Hearing this, Chu Chen reacted, no wonder Hu Yong would clean so hard today, you must know that he had mentioned to Hu Yong before that he was looking for a part-time worker for cleaning, it turned out that it was for the bottom of this sentence.
After thinking about these things clearly, Chu Chen scolded with a smile: "I said you guy, you fart quickly, why are you doing so many flowers!" β
Hu Yong smiled and said, "It's the mother of one of my comrades-in-arms, who wants to come to the capital as a nanny to support her family." β
When Chu Chen heard this, he frowned and said, "Your comrade-in-arms is a big man, how could he let his mother support the family!" β
Hu Yong hurriedly explained: "Brother Chu, I didn't make it clear, my comrade-in-arms has already died, and the army has also paid a large amount of consolation, if his mother is alone, that money is enough for her for a hundred years." β
"But my comrade-in-arms still has a grandmother, and my grandmother is frail and sick, in order to treat her, the consolation money has been almost used in the past few years. Last month, my grandmother passed away, so my comrade-in-arms' mother wanted to come out to work to earn money and earn some living expenses for her in the future. It just so happened that I had been in contact with my comrade-in-arms' family, so she found out that I was here. β
After listening to Hu Yong's explanation, Chu Chen's brows widened, and then he asked another question: "Don't your comrades-in-arms have a father?" β
Hu Yong nodded and said, "Well, when my comrade-in-arms was a teenager, there was an accident. Brother Chu, don't worry, my comrade-in-arms' mother is forty-seven years old this year, she is very honest, and she is also very diligent, otherwise it would be impossible to take care of my comrade-in-arms' grandmother alone for so many years. β
If that person is really like what Hu Yong said, it is quite to his liking, so Chu Chen said: "Hu Yong, you should also know the situation of my family, and my parents are likely to move here after a while, you should also know some things to pay attention to, right?" β
Hu Yong said with a stern face: "I know, my comrade-in-arms' mother's father is also an old Red Army, and her family's identity is very innocent. β
Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "In this way, you write the other party's message to me, and I will give you an answer after a while." β
Hu Yong knew that Chu Chen said this, and he must have to check the information, but in this regard, he felt that it was normal, with the status of Chu Chen's family, a person like a nanny would be abnormal if he did not check it carefully. So he hurriedly wrote down the other party's message and handed it to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen was also resolute when he arrived, and when he got the other party's information, he went to the study and called Tong Hangqi, such a thing is undoubtedly better to hand it over to the security department for verification.
In fact, in the final analysis, Chu Chen was still moved by compassion, otherwise a family like him, especially his parents, would move over, and the nanny would definitely not be used and not suitable for recruitment.
For Tong Hangqi, this kind of thing is just a trivial matter, he immediately reported a fax number to Chu Chen, and asked Chu Chen to fax the other party's information, and he will take care of the other things.
In addition, Sun Xingnan heard that Chu Chen was back, so he called Chu Chen, and asked Chu Chen to go to see the house and feel satisfied, so he could sign the contract directly, and the housing authority had already arranged it.
Because I was going to England after a while, it must be sooner rather than later to buy a store, so Chu Chen, who got the news, called the owner of the store after sending a fax, and the two made an appointment to meet at that store.
Half an hour later, Chu Chen came to the front of the shop, and he was accompanied by Uncle Wu, Zhou Wenping, and Lao Wu.
The owner of the shop pΓΉ is a middle-aged man with a long round tuod, because Chu Chen and the others have all come here to eat, and this middle-aged man is also an antique lover, and both sides know each other.
Although the middle-aged man felt a little strange that Chu Chen knew Sun Xingnan, he was not a particularly curious person, so he didn't ask much about it, so after the two sides said hello, he looked the whole store up and down, inside and out.
To say that the area of the store pΓΉ is indeed quite large, in addition to the lobby, there are four private rooms on the upper and lower floors, which are named after Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum by the boss.
But it's a pity that the owner of the hotel doesn't know how to operate, and he is reluctant to invite even a better chef, and in his heart, the hotel's business is not good, which is completely the reason for the bad location.
To say that the location of this store is indeed a little biased, but if it is not biased, Chu Chen will not be able to buy it even if he has money, you must know that the shops in Panjiayuan next door are all public, only rented and not sold, and few people will sell the nearby shops with property rights.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the location here is a little off, and the middle-aged man's asking price is expensive, this shop would have been sold to someone else a long time ago.
In fact, the location is biased, it is not a problem for Chu Chen at all, his jadeite business is only in the middle and high-end, as long as your store has good goods and has a certain popularity, the sales of this kind of medium-to-high-end jadeite are not a problem at all. As for popularity, as long as there are a few high-end customers who take the lead in consumption, there is no need to worry about this.
As for the antique business, it is even more of a problem, as the old saying goes, if you don't open for three years, you will open for three years, and as long as the antiques in the store are in good condition and have a certain reputation, you are not afraid of no sales.
In addition, this shop has a yard, which can be used to stack wool and calcite.
Therefore, Chu Chen is still quite satisfied with this shop, and as for Uncle Wu, except for the remote location, they can't find any big fault with this shop. However, according to Chu Chen's request, there is really no more suitable store than this store in this vicinity, and even if it is suitable, the other party may not necessarily want to sell it.
So Chu Chen happily signed an agreement with the owner, paid the money, and immediately went to the housing authority to go through the formalities.
It's just that what Chu Chen didn't expect was that Sun Xingnan didn't know what the relationship was, and when the Housing Authority was about to get off work, the transfer procedures were actually completed, and he also got the real estate certificate signed with his name. (To be continued......)
