Seeing his annoyed expression, Li Manjun couldn't help laughing, poured a glass of water, sat down next to him and said:
"I have already chosen the site and plan to rent it to open a waste recycling station. The price has been negotiated today."
Zhao Yong looked serious and looked at her with a surprised look on his face, "You have negotiated the venue rent so quickly?"
"What? You look down on me?" Li Manjun took a sip of water and casually tested.
How could Zhao Yong look down on her? He was just a little shocked.
There are very few women doing business these days. There may not even be one out of ten. Even if there is one, it is mostly a couple working together, with the woman assisting her husband.
In order to prove that he was not looking down on him, Zhao Yong took the initiative to ask: "Can you do it alone? Do you want me to help you?"
Li Manjun raised her lips and smiled confidently, but she didn't finish her words, "No need for now."
After all, she was here for research, and she was here to sell Babu beds for three days.
During those three days, while collecting garbage, she went to several scrap stations in Rongcheng to sell, set prices, and select locations. She already had a good idea.
In addition, she had been dealing with Long Mei, the proprietress of the waste station, for a month in Heather Town. She really didn't understand what was going on in other industries, but she was getting started with waste recycling.
There are several relatively large waste recycling stations in Rongcheng, scattered in several major residential areas in the city. They are looking for old houses with low rents and large areas.
This kind of recycling station doesn't care about location at all. As long as your price is good, those who pick up garbage will choose a recycling station with higher price for sale, even if they have to travel a few miles.
But one thing is very important: the road must be wide enough to allow trucks to enter.
Li Manjun had basically determined the approximate location before. After walking all day today, he finally found a suitable house in the south of the city near the expressway exit.
It is an abandoned bungalow with four red brick rooms and a large yard. In the past, the residents did their own wood processing and built a shed in the yard, which is perfect for use as a waste sorting warehouse.
The rent has also been negotiated, it is 3,000 yuan per year, the contract is for three years, the rent will be changed every three years, and the rent is paid half a year.
The owner of the house is very nice and promised to take away all the leftover wood scraps in the yard and clear them out. There is still some furniture left in the house, so there is no problem for people to live in it.
The only drawback is that the shed is a bit worn and needs to be repaired, but this is a minor matter.
Li Manjun likes this place. In addition to its large size and convenient transportation, the main reason is that there are several garbage dumps nearby.
That place is only three or four kilometers away from the highway exit, so it will be convenient for large trucks to enter and exit in the future.
Moreover, the area nearby is a mixed area for urban and rural residents, and the road leads directly into the city. When she took a taxi today, she checked the time and found that it would only take fifteen minutes to get home.
If you ride a bike yourself, you can finish it in twenty minutes.
Li Manjun is very satisfied with this commuting time.
Zhao Yong listened silently to her analysis and store opening plan, and felt that this woman was radiating a kind of light that was hard to describe, but made people want to keep their eyes on her.
"Are you done for the day?"
The two of them were lying on the bed, preparing to fall asleep, when the person next to them suddenly asked.
Li Manjun turned off the light, "No, go to sleep, good night."
In the dark night, he asked again: "When will it be finished?"
"At least seven days, you figure it out yourself." Li Manjun put his hand under the pillow and fell asleep.
After a long time, a very light sigh came from behind.
After a while, the only sound left in the room was the whirring sound of the electric fan.
Li Manjun woke up naturally at seven o'clock the next day, got dressed, packed up, took cash and a prepared contract, and prepared to go to the landlord to sign the contract.
Zhao Yong also woke up, stretched out his hand to touch his side, and found nothing, feeling empty in his heart.
When Li Manjun saw him waking up, he asked softly: "Is the locked bicycle downstairs yours?"
"Yes, can you ride a bicycle? I rarely ride that car anymore. If you can ride a bicycle, you can use it to ride."
"Okay, where is the key? I need it today."
Taking a taxi was expensive, and she couldn't wait for the bus, so it would be nice to have a bicycle.
Of course, if given the choice, Li Manjun would choose eDonkey. Unfortunately, this is not limited by the times, right?
Zhao Yong got out of bed and gave her the key, "Are you really good at riding?" He was still a little doubtful.
Li Manjun took the key away, "Of course, do you want to go to the company today?"
Zhao Yong nodded and officially started working today. He could no longer be as casual as before. However, he was the boss and he did not necessarily have to be in the company when he went out to "entertain".
"I may only have time to watch the refrigerator and color TV in the afternoon, what about you?" Li Manjun asked while adjusting her suit skirt.
"I shouldn't be busy. It won't be officially opened until tomorrow. Today I'm mainly going to take a look and check for any deficiencies. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be free in the afternoon."
Zhao Yong changed his clothes and walked out. He was slightly stunned when he saw Li Manjun dressed professionally, "There's no need to be so formal, right?"
Li Manjun tied up her hair, picked up her bag, and walked around, "Does it look like you're selling insurance?"
Zhao Yong shook his head and said seriously: "It's not like those white-collar workers from foreign companies. They are very beautiful."
"Li Manjun, really, I'm a little worried about what you will do if you encounter bad people when you go out." Zhao Yong said, making himself anxious, "How about I ask Xiaoguan to accompany you."
Li Manjun has never seen this Xiaoguan, but he has heard Zhao Yong mention it several times. He is responsible for everything Zhao Yong needs to run errands and deliver messages.
"Don't he have to be busy?" Li Manjun was a little moved.
Seeing that she didn't refuse, Zhao Yong immediately called Xiaoguan, "Yes, you come to my house now."
Xiaoguan arrived soon. He lives in the company dormitory and came in two minutes.
When I first saw Li Manjun, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows at Zhao Yong. My sister-in-law is indeed beautiful.
Wearing professional attire, he was very elegant. He held a leather bag in his hand, his eyes were firm and confident, he smiled and nodded at him, and when he introduced himself, his tone sounded like a civilized person.
Li Manjun extended his hand in a friendly manner, "Hello, I'm Li Manjun. I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you today."
"Hello, sister-in-law, you can just call me Xiaoguan." The person who was full of nasty words in front of his brothers was as honest as a quail at this moment.
Zhao Yong explained: "You go out with your sister-in-law today, and you can do whatever your sister-in-law asks you to do, do you understand?"
Xiaoguan glared at him, pretending to be like a boss, because none of our brothers knew anyone.
Turning to face Li Manjun, he smiled particularly kindly and said, "That's alright. Sister-in-law, if you have anything to do, just ask me."
"Then let's go." Li Manjun glanced at Zhao Yong in a funny way. The two of them didn't need bicycles to travel, so they put down the keys and took a taxi.
It's really convenient to have someone by his side. The land in the south of the city is quite messy. Because of Xiaoguan's presence, Li Manjun has a lot of confidence and doesn't have to worry about roadblocks and robberies.
When Xiaoguan learned that Li Manjun had come here alone to look for someone to open a waste recycling station, the look in her eyes changed, and her tone of voice also became serious.
