As soon as Xu Bin, who looked depressed, returned home, Tan Aifang couldn't wait to ask:

"How? What did Dad say? ”

"It's done, the contract has been signed, and the purchase price has been discounted, and the first batch of goods will be 500,000, and they will arrive at any time."

"So smooth? Then why are you still bitter? ”

Tan Aifang wondered.

"I just went to Mom's."

"Uh, you told me about the gold bars?"

Tan Aifang reacted immediately.

Xu Bin nodded: "This matter can't be hidden, it's better to say it early than late, I'm also thinking about Jingyi, it's better for my mother to blame us than to blame my granddaughter." ”

"Mom scolded you?"

Tan Aifang said distressedly.

"The scolding is all light, if it weren't for my younger siblings, looking at that posture, I would almost have to do it with me."

Xu Bin sighed.

He is so old, if he still has to be beaten by his mother, he will not have the face to go out to meet people in the future.

Tan Aifang hurriedly comforted: "Dabin, it's hard for you, let's go back in two days, and I'll help you explain to your mother." ”

"No need, no matter how much you explain, it's useless, it's imperative for us to open the store quickly, make money as soon as possible, and return the gold bars to our daughter as soon as possible."

"Then we'll go look for the store tomorrow?"

"Well, Mom is coming over tomorrow, so it's best to set up the store tomorrow, and then take some time to decorate it, and strive to open in the middle of the month."

"Won't it be too rushed?"

Xu Bin shook his head:

"Our family has limited funds, so we can simply decorate it, open it one day earlier, and make money one day earlier."

Tan Aifang didn't say anything more, but asked tentatively: "Dabin, do you want to hire an employee in the store?" ”

"No, it's enough to have the two of us."

"Uh, what about being on duty at night? After all, there are hundreds of thousands of things in the store, and it is safer to keep someone to watch. ”

Xu Bin waved his hand: "Don't be afraid, it's a big deal that I'll sleep directly in the store." ”

Tan Aifang squeezed her husband's arm fiercely.

Why can't the dead ghost hear her?

"You're in the store, what about at home? Jingyi and I didn't dare to sleep at night. ”

Xu Bin rubbed his arm: "It seems to be the same, it's really a headache, then hire a clerk." ”

"I'm not worried about hiring outsiders, why don't you call Bang Xiang over? No matter how you say that Bangxiang is also our own family, it must be more reliable than outsiders. ”

Tan Aifang finally said her plan.

Bang Xiang is the child of her brother's family, the young man has just turned 20 this year, and he has been working with his father on the coast, working very hard and earning little.

"Bang Xiang? Didn't he go to work outside with his brother-in-law? ”

"I came back in October last year, and you also know that the economic situation has been bad in the past two years, and there is no work to do along the coast, so I simply didn't go out this year, and I did odd jobs at home!"

"Wouldn't it be too far? And Bang Xiang is here, and he has to help him rent a house, and our family can't live there! ”

If you don't say that Xu Bin is a straight man of steel, Tan Aifang has said it to this point, and he hasn't reacted yet, or he hasn't thought about it at all.

"What house to rent? Let him sleep directly in the store, just enough to help watch the store. ”

"It's not good, they're all relatives, if outsiders know, maybe how to arrange us behind the scenes?"

Xu Bin was a little worried.

Tan Aifang was speechless: "Dabin, I promise you, Aimin and his wife will not only not complain, but will also thank our family."

You don't look at the current situation, Yanjing is much better than Luyang, and the development opportunities are also great, if you know that Bangxiang can come to Yanjing to work, the two of them must be crazy. ”

Xu Bin thought about it carefully, and what his wife said seemed to make sense.

"Okay, you call Luyang at night, and ask your brother-in-law to send Bangxiang over quickly, there are many things in the new store, let him do it first."

"Okay, I'll take care of that!"

"Wait, before you come, you'd better talk to your brother-in-law first, it's no problem for Bangxiang to work on our side, but the temporary residence permit is not something we can handle."

If you want to get a temporary residence permit, you not only have to have a formal job, but you also need to queue up for review, and things are troublesome!

The temporary residence permits of the couple are also thanks to Aunt Wang, who already owes a lot of favor, and he really has no face to trouble the other party again.

"I know, Bangxiang is still young, and there is no urgency about the temporary residence permit, I will talk about it later."

Anyway, if you don't have a temporary residence permit, you can still stay, and the impact is not big for the time being, maybe the policy will change in a few years, and you won't have to worry about it then.

……

The next morning, before nine o'clock, Xu's mother came to Jingzhi Garden with a bag of fish balls.

Tan Aifang stepped forward and took the bag from her mother-in-law's hand.

"Mom, didn't you say nine or ten o'clock, why is it so early?"

"I sent Dabao and them to kindergarten in advance, let's go out early today, and strive to see a few more stores, a good store is more effective than you getting up early and being greedy for darkness."

Xu Ma explained casually.

"Alas, good stores are hard to come by."

"Don't be discouraged, look for it, you'll find it."

Without much delay, the three of them then went out.

At present, renting a shop is similar to buying a house, and you need to go through the housing management department.

Just to facilitate daily management, the housing management department simply incorporated a group of real estate agents, and then changed a brand, turning it into a business network in various places.

Many of them haven't even changed their office space.

The three of them soon found an "intermediary company" nearby, it may be that the employees have no staff, and there is no commission, and the service attitude is called a love to ignore.

In the end, Tan Aifang secretly stuffed a red envelope into the "store manager", which made the other party serious, and sent a clerk to lead the three of them on the spot.

At present, all industries are withering, and there are many vacant shops on the street, many of which have simply been converted into public rental housing, and those who remain are in good condition.

Near noon, the group looked at another shop, the location of this shop is very special, it is actually an underground commercial street, in summer, it should be able to save a lot of air conditioning costs.

"Aunt Zhang, what do you think of here?"

"Is there a lot of traffic here?"

Xu Ma asked.

The clerk nodded: "Don't look at the fact that there is no one now, when it is time to get off work, this place will immediately be a different picture."

And let me tell you, once it is summer, people from the nearby communities will come here to enjoy the coolness, and it will be absolutely crowded at that time, and there will be no worries about the source of customers. ”

"Really? The place is good, but the area is a little small. ”

Tan Aifang said regretfully.

The shop in front of me is only about 60 square meters at most, which is barely enough to open a store, but if it is lived, it will be a little crowded.

"This is easy to do, or you can simply rent two shops, and then open the middle wall, two hundred and twenty-eight square meters, it must be enough."

The clerk suggested with a smile.

Tan Aifang's heart was suddenly moved, since she is a resident, of course, the bigger the better.

"How much is the rent for two rooms?"

Xu Bin saw that his wife was a little moved, so he asked.

"One room is sixteen thousand, and two rooms are thirty-two thousand."

"Can I get a discount for renting two rooms at a time?"

The clerk shook his head: "No, the price is fixed, and there will be no counteroffer." ”

"With your rigid approach, it's no wonder that so many shops can't be rented."

Mother Xu didn't have a good airway.

"Aunt Zhang, what you said is to the point, they don't want to rent out shops at all, they would rather convert shops into public rental housing."

The clerk explained with a wry smile.

"Why?" Mother Xu looked curious.

The rent of a shop is much higher than that of public rental housing, and the two are not an order of magnitude at all.

"Because the housing management department is only in charge of rental matters, the rent collection is managed by the local financial department, and there are a lot of troubles in the shops, which is far less worry-free than public rental housing."

"No wonder you're so lazy!"

Mother Xu finally figured out the trickiness.

"Hehe, Aunt Zhang, we also have how much money to do and how much work we have. I am not satisfied with you saying that I will resign at the end of this month, and the store is suitable for the elderly, not for us young people. ”

"And where are you going to work after you quit?"

"I'm going to go to Qindao to have a look, there are many job opportunities there, and the salary is okay."

Mother Xu saw that the young man knew that he was motivated, indicating that he could still be saved, so she immediately took out her business card.

The clerk looked confused: "Aunt Zhang, who are you?" ”

Mother Xu stuffed the business card into the other party's hand:

"My family runs a bakery, if you believe Auntie, you can try it, I can't say how good the work is, but at least it's better than going to other places."

The clerk took a closer look at the business card.

"Coke bakery? It's not ......"

Xu Bin directly interrupted: "That's right, my mother is the general manager of the bread factory, and with her to help you introduce, you will definitely have no problem going in." ”

The clerk was somewhat skeptical.

After all, this is a cola bakery, the largest bread factory in the country, and the treatment is very good, and no matter how many people squeeze their heads in, they can't squeeze in.

In addition, since he is a big boss, how can he open such a small store?

It's so counterintuitive!

However, in line with the idea of "I'd rather believe it", the clerk still expressed his gratitude to Xu's mother.

Even if this thing is fake, he has nothing to lose, but what if?

Maybe the other party is really the big boss of the bread factory.

After the episode just now, the clerk's attitude suddenly improved several levels, and he almost treated Xu Ma as his own mother.

With this relationship, Xu Bin got straight to the point:

"Xiao Lu, tell us the truth, what's going on here?"

"Brother, you're right to listen to me, I can pack a ticket with you, it's definitely cost-effective to rent here."

In the end, under the strong persuasion of the clerk, Xu Bin and the others gritted their teeth and rented two shops, and one lease was three years.

Although the rent here is much more expensive than on the ground, the annual savings in electricity bills are enough to make up for the difference.

After signing the contract, Xu's mother paid the deposit and two months' rent for her eldest son on the spot, and paid a total of nearly 100,000 yuan.

Xu Bin personally promised that when he sold the gold bars, he would transfer the money to his mother's account.

"Fight if you want!"

Mother Xu finished talking and was going home.

Tan Aifang took the opportunity to stay: "Mom, stay and have a meal and then go back?" Jingyi is coming back soon. ”

"Forget it, it's the same when you come back tomorrow, and it's not like you can't see each other."

Xu's mother didn't stay for dinner, she took a taxi and left, although Nana was at home, she was still a little worried about her grandchildren.
