324: If you can do it, go ahead, if you can't, don't force it!
"Wen Ying?"
Seeing that Ying Ying was distracted, Qin Jiao reminded her in a low voice.
Wen Ying smiled apologetically, "I have something going on at home, and I think this store is very good."
Originally, the store where Shu Guobing stopped was at the end of Yexiao Street. Now the new store that Director Lu helped find is on Yexiao Street. It is also two floors and faces the street. Except for parking, it is not as convenient as the small courtyard where Shu Guobing stopped.
No worse than the store that Shu Guobing took away.
The location is superior.
The flow of people is greater.
This two-story building facing the street has been idle for several years. The owner had no intention of renting it out. Director Lu learned that the owner wanted to go abroad to help his daughter who had settled abroad to take care of his grandson. Before the owner could rent it out, he persuaded the owner to rent out the vacant house.
rent.
The annual rent of tens of thousands is considered as pocket money in your hand. If you have money in your hand, you will not panic when you go abroad.
Besides, a house needs to be popular, and unoccupied houses will deteriorate very quickly.
With Director Lu's lobbying, the landlord finally agreed to rent out the house.
The house is a self-built house in the 1990s. It has three facades on the street, living space upstairs, a large patio behind the house, and two bungalows behind the patio.
Including the large patio and the bungalow at the back, the usable area on the first floor is two to three hundred square meters. The bungalow at the back can easily be converted into a kitchen.
Because it has been idle for several years, there are not many furniture and appliances in the house. Even if there is, the landlord has other houses in Chengdu. As long as Wen Ying decides to rent it, the landlord can move the things out immediately.
Overall, this is a store that Wen Ying is very satisfied with.
There is no transfer fee. The rent is 70,000 in the first year and increases by 5% every year. The lease contract can be signed for five years.
It's just that the area is too big, bigger than the small courtyard where Shu Guobing cut off Hu. Most of the transfer fees saved will still have to be affixed to the subsequent decoration.
Not only was Wen Ying satisfied, but Qin Jiao and others who came to see the shop couldn't fault it.
In order to avoid Ye Changmengduo being intercepted again, Wen Ying made the decision to rent the house on the spot after consulting her friends.
"I haven't asked Xie Qian yet!"
Wang Shuang muttered.
Wen Ying smiled and said, "Xie Qian has no objection. He said he believed in our vision. When we start the decoration, Xie Qian will help us refer to the decoration plan."
By the time Xie Qian transfers to Chengdu, the physical store of "Shrimp King" will have already opened. Wen Ying still wants Xie Qian to see what she can do!
Director Lu is a big contributor. Because of Director Lu's help, there were no more troubles this time, and Wen Ying and others successfully rented the house.
Paying the rent is not a problem. With the franchise fees paid by Qin Yi and Da Liu of the barbecue restaurant, Wen Ying and others have relatively ample funds. Not only do they not have to worry about rent, but there is also not a big gap in decoration.
What is really missing is the operating costs after opening. For such a large venue, you need to hire a chef and waiters, and the monthly fixed expenses are much larger than setting up a stall.
There are also rent, renovation costs, daily water and electricity bills... these all have to be added to the total cost.
As the business scale expanded, so did the pressure.
Wang Shuang disagreed: "Then we should start the renovation as soon as possible. If the house is empty for a day, we will still pay the rent, but there will be no business income. Isn't it a waste!"
This is indeed the truth.
Once you rent a store, not making money is equivalent to losing money.
Wen Ying didn't want Shu Guobing to be proud for too long.
Behind Shu Guobing is Boss Cai, and behind Boss Cai is Zhao Dong.
Wen Ying didn't believe it. If Zhao Dong stared at her, her career would not develop!
This time, the news leaked after the rental contract was signed.
Xiao Cai, who was following Shu Guobing, reported the situation to Cai Youlun. Cai Youlun didn't get the upper hand, and he even wondered: "Director Lu from the street office doesn't seem to be a good talker. Why does he take so much care of a few students?"
Shu Guobing wanted to open a seafood stall in the night snack street. Not only did he rob Wen Ying's store, but he also wanted to pry away Wen Ying's connections. Unexpectedly, Director Lu didn't know how to get involved, so he didn't accept Shu Guobing's overtures at all - Cai Youlun didn't agree with him.
After dealing with grassroots cadres in the provincial capital, Xiao Cai was asked to recruit Shu Guobing in the same way as in a small place. Little did he know that Director Lu had his own pursuits and looked down on a "boss" like Shu Guobing who was always talking about cheating.
What do Director Lu and Shu Guobing have in common? It’s better to waste time interacting with Shu Guobing than talk to the students. Even if the students don’t help him add to his political achievements, they still have a youthful vitality that can infect Director Lu.
After renting the house, Wen Ying had time to pick up Chen Ru at the station.
Ms. Chen Ru acted quickly, completed the work transfer, and took the car to Chengdu with her luggage without leaving even a word to Wen Dongrong.
Chen Li heard the news and quickly drove to find Wen Ying. On the way, she asked Wen Ying what was going on.
"Auntie, you have to ask my mother about the specific situation. I'm still confused."
This question is seriously out of line for poor students!
Wen Ying couldn't have predicted something that never happened in her previous life.
Wen Ying and Chen Li met Chen Ru at the station. Chen Ru dragged two large boxes and directed Chen Li to help stuff the boxes into the trunk.
"I'm going to stay at your house for the next two days. Once I've rented the house, I'll take Wen Ying and move out."
Chen Ru is used to being strong. Although Chen Li has been working in her own company during this period and has regained her confidence as a working woman, it is because she has developed a conditioned tolerance for her sister Chen Ru. Chen Ru has a fierce face and does not speak.
Don't dare to ask.
Chen Li had the courage to persuade her sister to stay for a few more days. Chen Ru raised her eyebrows: "You still have time to mind my business. Your Deng Shangwei hasn't moved back home yet. I heard that the woman is still pestering him.
, what do you two want to do, whether to divorce or move on, you have to come up with something honest to say!"
Yes, pretend you didn’t say it.
Chen Li was tired and didn't know where to explain.
Wen Ying thought about it, Comrade Lao Wen had made things a bit serious this time and let her mother spray anyone she caught. The situation was probably worse than she thought.
"mom--"
"Let me ask you, do you know where your aunt's family lives in Chengdu?"
Wen Ying nodded, "I know."
Could you not know that she asked Inspector Luo to investigate Shu Guobing?
Chen Ru took the address and asked Chen Li to drive the car to the gate of the residential complex where Shu Guobing's family of three rented. The three of them squatted in the car. It was only in the evening that they saw Wen Hongyan and Shu Lu coming back from outside.
Chen Ru opened the car door and got out of the car, strode past, and stood in front of Wen Hongyan, "When are you going to pay back the money?"
It was already half dark when a figure suddenly appeared from the door and asked Wen Hongyan to pay back the money. Wen Hongyan was so frightened that she almost screamed.
Shu Lu trembled and couldn't believe it:
"...Aunt?"
The second aunt is the most respectable person. She blocked the gate of the community at night to demand payment. How could it be possible that the second aunt did this?!
In the car, Chen Li was stunned. After she came to her senses, she asked Wen Ying seriously: "Honestly, what happened to your mother?"
