Chapter 73: Expanding Operations
I don't know what Lin Zhi said to Lin Zhenbang, but in less than five minutes, she came down with a young man with glasses.
The people in the finance room may not know Lin Zhi, but they definitely know this young man, and when they saw him, they all stood up and shouted respectfully: "Secretary Liang is good." ”
After Secretary Liang came to the finance office, he said to the person in charge of the finance office in a calm tone: "Director Gao, please take the time to settle with the supplier Comrade Li Yunhai for this batch of computers and photocopiers!" ”
Don't look at him very politely, but he has an irresistible majesty!
Director Gao, who was still pushing Li Yunhai just now, immediately bent down and lowered his head and smiled: "Okay, Secretary Liang, let's settle it." ”
Secretary Liang stopped talking nonsense and said to Lin Zhi: "Xiaozhi, then I'll go up." ”
Lin Zhi smiled: "Hard Brother Liang." ”
Secretary Liang waved his hand, smiled slightly, and left quickly.
The people in the finance room looked at Li Yunhai and said with a little complaint: "Comrade Li, you have a relationship with Leader Lin, why didn't you say it earlier?" You said that we will naturally help you settle it, this depends on this matter! I also went on a trip with Secretary Liang in person! ”
Li Yunhai didn't speak, and smiled at Lin Zhi.
A total of 640,000 yuan is impossible to settle in cash, Li Yunhai had considered it before he came, took out two current passbooks, and filled them in on the two settlement sheets.
With such a large amount of money in and out, Li Yunhai was afraid of causing unnecessary attention and trouble, so he asked for separate financial settlements.
Finance is naturally indispensable, and immediately agreed to settle the 400,000 yuan computer money and the 240,000 yuan photocopier money separately.
After the settlement is completed, Li Yunhai can only wait.
In the next few days, the three payments, totaling 780,000 yuan, will be remitted to his bank account.
In the past few days, while Li Yunhai was refurbishing the photocopier, he also received several ordinary repair jobs, earning hundreds of yuan, he took out the money, paid Ding Qiang and others for the handling fee, and invited Ding Qiang, Sun Lei and Lin Zhi to go outside and go back to the restaurant.
The delivery was busy for a whole day, and Li Yunhai also told the purchasing unit that if they needed machine installation services, Li Yunhai could come to the door at any time.
Now that the business is bigger, Li Yunhai can't be busy alone.
It is imperative to expand operations.
After the last time his application for a business license was rejected, Li Yunhai took a moment to understand the current economic policies for self-employed and private individuals to prevent similar losses from suffering again.
In this era, there are many seemingly strange regulations, which are very incomprehensible to him, a time-traveler, but they are real, and people in this era even take it for granted!
For example, only the unemployed can apply for a self-employed business license.
For example, the number of self-employed employees cannot exceed seven.
This is a matter of principle, the only criterion for judging whether there is capitalist exploitation or not.
There is a theoretical basis for this, and economic experts have taken out the classics and concluded from Marx's "Capital": those who employ less than 7 workers and earn money for their own consumption are considered self-employed; If you employ more than 8 workers, you will produce surplus value, and even if you are exploiting, you are a capitalist.
If there are less than seven people, it belongs to asking for helpers and taking apprentices, and it does not belong to capital exploitation.
Li Yunhai understood this regulation thoroughly and decided to invite up to seven people to help, trying not to touch the red line of the regulation. He didn't want to be invited in for tea like that fool who sold melon seeds.
With the scale of his current business, it should be enough to invite a few people.
To expand the scale of business, to hire people, you have to find a bigger storefront.
Li Yunhai's existing repair shop is too small, and it is okay to use it as a living room, and it is really a bit stretched as a room and a shop.
The next day, Li Yunhai first made an inventory of the existing assets.
Of the 125 computers brought back last time, one was given to Shen Xiulan, 120 were sold, and there were still 4 left.
After several refurbishments, there is not much left, and at most five to ten units can be refurbished, and the rest can only be disassembled and used as spare parts.
Li Yunhai must wait for the money to arrive before he can buy again.
This transaction also allowed Li Yunhai to see the huge market for computers in China.
A unit may only have one or a few copiers, but computers are certainly many.
An audio-visual education center needs dozens or even hundreds of computers.
After taking inventory, Li Yunhai stepped on a tricycle and came to Wuyi Road to find a suitable storefront.
He rode from Wuyi West Road to the railway station, and then from the railway station to Wuyi Square, only to see that there were two storefronts for rent, and they were all rented out on the whole floor.
One of the facades, near Jiuru Lane, is only two bus stops away from Wuyi Square.
Li Yunhai stopped the car and came to the façade to visit.
The door to the façade is wooden, with a row of four wooden doors, wide open.
Li Yunhai walked in.
He roughly measured the façade of this building, ten meters deep, 30 meters of bays, with a total area of 300 square meters, with a row of columns in the middle, a few tables in it, and some uncleaned waste paper on the ground.
"Hey! What do you do! A middle-aged man stood in the doorway and asked loudly.
Li Yunhai turned around, took out a cigarette, handed one to him, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, may I ask, I saw a sign posted at the door for rent, is this façade?" ”
The middle-aged man took the cigarette, took out a match and lit the fire, took a slow puff, and nodded: "Yes!" This is our unit's! ”
"Who is your unit?"
"Provincial Agricultural Machinery Bureau. Because of the reform and opening up and the revitalization of the economy, our leaders decided to transfer the original office space on the first floor to the upper floor, and vacate the first floor to rent out for profit. What's wrong? Do you want to rent? ”
"Yes, uncle. I'm self-employed and want to rent a store as a storefront. ”
The middle-aged man looked Li Yunhai up and down, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaoman, it's not that I look down on you!" It's Wuyi Road! Such a large façade is not affordable for ordinary people. You are self-employed, it's almost the same to rent a stall in the night market street and the triangle garden! ”
Li Yunhai pointed to the façade and said, "Uncle, can you call the shots?" How do I rent here? ”
The middle-aged man stretched out two fingers of his right hand and said, "Two yuan!" One square meter per month! ”
Li Yunhai was happy when he heard it, he thought it was so expensive!
"Uncle, is there 300 square meters here? The rent is 600 yuan a month, and it is 7,002 a year, right? ”
The middle-aged man sighed: "You have a good eye!" That's 300 square meters, really. ”
Li Yunhai said happily: "Okay, then I'll rent it!" ”
The middle-aged man took a step back and looked at Li Yunhai again: "Little comrade, let me tell you, 600 yuan a month is not a joke, it is equivalent to a year's salary!" What business do you do? ”
Li Yunhai said that he was making office equipment.
The middle-aged man nodded, said that this business can be rented to you, and said: "I don't see it, you are so young, you actually know how to make office equipment." ”
Li Yunhai can afford this rent, and a large area is also advantageous, even if he expands his business in the future, it will be more than enough to open a large office equipment store.
Li Yunhai asked, how to pay the rent?
The middle-aged man said that he had to pay a month's rent once a quarter.
It's normal to bet one and pay three.
It's just that Li Yunhai doesn't have so much cash in his hands now, and he has to wait for the funds to arrive before he can make great progress.
"Uncle, is this good, I'll pay a deposit of 200 yuan first. I still have to deal with a little thing, and I'll come back to the lease procedure in a few days, do you think it's okay? ”
The middle-aged man asked with doubts: "Little comrade, are you sure you can rent such a big storefront?" This is not a stall! It's not a joke! If you lose a year's rent, water and electricity, a 10,000 yuan household will be gone! ”
Li Yunhai said calmly: "Uncle, I have rented this place!" ”
The middle-aged man didn't say much more, took him upstairs and found the finances.
Li Yunhai paid a deposit of 200 yuan, and the financial department issued a receipt, and noted on the receipt that it was agreed that within a week, Li Yunhai would come over to sign the lease contract, but if he did not come within the time limit, the deposit would not be refunded, and the oral lease agreement would be invalid.
