I'm very sorry. Something happened at home two days ago, so I didn't have time to write. I will definitely make up for everyone next time.
After Lin Li expressed his wish to take over the small store, the middle-aged boss immediately started talking enthusiastically with him and Lin's father and mother.
He came over and observed it along the way. The area of this store was not too big compared to other prosperous stores in the snack street, so he expected that the rent would not be very expensive.
As a result, during the conversation with his boss, Lin Li realized that things were not that simple.
The rent was 2,500 yuan a month, which was quite reasonable, but the other party also asked for an additional transfer fee of 40,000 yuan, which made him frown.
This is much higher than his previous estimate of only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
And the items in the store are probably not worth even 10,000 yuan.
In this regard, before Lin Li had time to negotiate the price, Lin's father and Lin's mother raised objections. After all, as locals, they had a good grasp of the rent situation in the county and knew that the price was definitely high.
But the boss didn't let up at all and demanded 40,000 yuan to kill him. He also explained that the market in this snack street was basically like this.
In desperation, Lin's father and Lin's mother had no choice but to give up. The price had exceeded their psychological bottom line.
The same goes for Lin Li. It's not that they can't afford the 40,000 yuan, but they think it's not worth it. If it doesn't work, they don't necessarily have to open the store in a snack street.
Seeing that they were about to leave, the boss suddenly became a little anxious. He stopped them and said that when he took over the store, he paid a transfer fee of 40,000 yuan. It would be a big loss if he could not get the money back.
Moreover, it was not that his store had no business, it was just that he was in an emergency and could not continue to operate it, so he had to fire the waiters and wanted to transfer the store.
However, if they really want to rent, I can take a step back and reduce the transfer fee by another thousand.
It was no wonder that the boss was not in a hurry. He had posted the transfer notice for more than a week, but no one was willing to take over. Although many people came in to inquire, but when they heard that the transfer fee was so high, they all turned around and left.
Hearing this, Lin Li also saw that he wanted to sell the store in a hurry, so he stopped and asked him what was urgent.
It turned out that the boss's mother was seriously ill not long ago and had been sent to Jiangcheng for hospital treatment. He had to rush to take care of her together, otherwise it would be too hard for his wife to be there alone.
It was not that he had never thought about temporarily closing the store for a month or two and then continuing to open the store when he came back. However, considering that his mother's illness would take a long time to recover after the operation, and he didn't know how long the delay would be, he simply closed the store.
Forget it, the store is transferred.
Lin Li could tell from his tone that he was actually not willing to transfer his store. It was purely a helpless move.
So he suddenly had an idea and proposed a plan, that is, he would only rent it for one year. After the contract expired, the other party could come back and continue to operate the store, or choose to transfer it to someone else again.
Of course, if he uses this plan, he will not pay the 40,000 transfer fee, and will only add an extra 500 to the monthly rent.
After listening, the boss was obviously moved, and discussed the details with him in detail, and finally agreed to the plan, but the condition was that they had to put up 20,000 yuan as a deposit.
Afterwards, Lin Li had a brief discussion with his parents, and then he decisively agreed and made an appointment to sign the contract tomorrow.
It wasn't until after leaving the store that Father Lin and Mother Lin suddenly came back to their senses. They didn't expect that the idea of opening a store was proposed so quickly in the evening.
Lin Li comforted them with a smile, saying that making money these days has to be quick.
However, because the plan could not keep up with the changes, Lin Li did not expect to decide on opening a store so quickly, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot and simply open the store right away.
As for business projects, he plans to open a noodle shop during the day and a night market at night.
The next day, after withdrawing money from his parents and signing the contract with the boss, Lin Li didn't waste time and immediately went to apply for the relevant documents required for the business license while reorganizing the shop.
Since he did not plan to renovate, Lin Li simply changed the layout of the store, bought a batch of new tableware, and then ordered a billboard. He planned to open the business directly after all the relevant procedures were completed in a few days.
…
Liu Lei and Wang Yan both work in local public institutions. They are a couple who met through a blind date at home and recently got married.
As usual, this morning they came to this snack street not far from home, intending to have breakfast before going to work.
Since Wang Yan accidentally caught a cold the night before, Liu Lei held her cold hand and said distressedly: "Honey, I know you have no appetite, but you still have to eat breakfast. What do you want to eat?"
Perhaps because of the cold, Wang Yan looked at the shops in front of her that sold steamed buns, steamed buns, rice porridge, and soy milk and fried dough sticks. She couldn't whet her appetite at all. She felt that they were too bland and she wanted to eat something flavorful.
Walking all the way inside, she suddenly saw a store called "Meat Eater" and was stunned for a moment: "Is this store newly opened?"
She has lived near the snack street for a long time. In addition to having breakfast here every day, she also often comes down for late-night snacks. She has an impression of most of the shops in this street, and this one is called "Meat Eater", which is a bit strange.
The name of the store was very unfamiliar to her.
Walking over with a hint of doubt, she saw a middle-aged couple sitting inside. Wang Yan asked curiously: "Boss, what do you sell?"
"We sell noodles here during the day and food stalls at night. We just opened today."
Hearing her question, the couple quickly stood up to greet the guests enthusiastically, and asked with a smile: "Do you two want to have breakfast? You are the first guests of our family. Do you want to try our breakfast?"
Noodles, guaranteed to make you feel delicious!”
This couple is naturally Lin Li's parents. They have already tasted their son's cooking these days, and they are very confident in his noodles.
"Are we the first guests?"
Wang Yan became interested after listening for a while. She happened to want to eat something with strong flavor, so she turned to Liu Lei and said, "Husband, how about we eat noodles."
"Okay!" Of course Liu Lei had no objection, and the two of them walked in directly.
Then after looking at the menu, Wang Yan said: "Husband, I want a bowl of their signature beef noodles. What do you want?"
"I'll eat beef noodles too." Liu Lei didn't hesitate and said to Mother Lin who was greeting them: "Two bowls of signature beef noodles."
"Add more spicy food!" Wang Yan quickly emphasized.
Mother Lin nodded, and then said loudly in the direction of the kitchen: "Xiao Li, two bowls of signature beef noodles, add more spicy to one bowl!"
"okay!"
Inside, Lin Li responded, quickly put on his apron, and began to uncover the underside of the pot lid.
