Chapter 220 The storefront is different from the house
Ahu was a little confused and muttered: "Later benefits? Sister-in-law, even if we don't use it anymore and move away, the store can still be sublet to others!"
"No." Xue Ling explained carefully: "Think about it, whether a store in a place can make money actually has a lot to do with the surrounding environment and residents. For some old stores, as the traffic in the area narrows, residents
If you move away, your business will gradually disappear, isn’t it?”
"Yes..." Ahu nodded, "That's true."
Xue Ling added: "If it is a new city with a new store, there may not be good business, because it will take time for the new city to become a prosperous place. The location you have chosen is at the intersection of the old and new cities, so it is perfect.
But no matter how long the store can be maintained, it can only last twenty years, so it can be said that it is difficult to have long-term guarantee."
"Oh!" Ahu suddenly said: "But the house is different. As long as it is not broken and can be lived in, there are still people willing to rent it. The store is for business, and there is no traffic, so business will naturally not be done."
"That's the reason." Xue Ling caressed her pointed belly, "So, you go discuss with the landlord tomorrow and set the rental agreement to five years, preferably ten years."
"Okay!" Ahu laughed softly, "If we can rent it for a long time, he might be even happier! He seems to be a little anxious for money. At first, he hoped that we would pay the rent for a year. If we can sign it at once, he will be more happy in the future.
If he wants to raise prices randomly or something, that's not good."
Xue Ling asked for the address carefully and found that the place was not far from the newspaper office, only a few hundred meters away.
Ah Hu explained: "Originally there were two other places, which were also very good. Liu Xing insisted on going there, saying that he worked in a newspaper office and could go there to work during his lunch break, which would make it easier to get back and forth. I think he is a photographer, so he mainly works there.
When he works, just listen to him."
"Yes." Xue Ling nodded, "We work together in business, so naturally we have to understand each other. It will be more convenient for him to spend more time making money, which is also a good thing for us."
Ahu said: "Liu Xing took his father over this afternoon. He said he had nothing to do at home and would go over to help clean up in the next few days. I will also go to help tomorrow."
"Is uncle young?" Xue Ling asked.
Ahu replied: "He retired early, saying that the factory's profits were not good, and he is only in his fifties now. He is a gentle man, dressed elegantly, and looks very young. If I didn't shave my beard, I might be better than him."
Looks even older!”
Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan were both amused by him.
Ahu added: "From what I hear from Liu Xing, it seems that he wants his father to help look after the store. After all, a store cannot be separated from people, and there must be someone fixed there."
"Very good!" Xue Ling replied: "Anyway, my uncle will have nothing to do after he retires. Then we will subsidize him a little at the end of every month."
Ahu nodded, "Okay! He can write and calculate accounts, so it's suitable to stay in the photo studio."
"That's better." Xue Ling smiled, "And 40% of the photo studio's income belongs to his son, so he will definitely be very interested in it."
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Ling Ling, what about Ah Hu? He has to help you run the photo studio and take care of the clothing store for you. How are you going to manage his salary?"
"No need!" Ah Hu glared and said, "My sister-in-law has given me so much of a share, my salary in the unit cannot be compared to it in a year! I don't need any more salary!"
Xue Ling felt bad, and said warmly: "Brother Yuan is right. If you pay, you will naturally have income. Sooner or later you will help take care of the business of the photo studio. If the long-term operation does not give you income, sooner or later
Reduce motivation.”
"I don't know how!" Ahu said with a smile: "What's the relationship between us? I'm afraid of this!"
Xue Ling lowered his voice: "We are not afraid, and neither are you, but this business is a joint venture between Liu Xing and I. We still need to make it clear. After a long-term cooperation, there will inevitably be friction. If you have a little share there, you will also
The right to speak, right?"
After hearing this, Ah Hu chuckled.
"Sister-in-law... I didn't contribute any money, so I can't ask for any share."
Xue Ling explained: "Actually, it's mainly an early-stage investment, and the later-stage costs are not high. Otherwise, go over there and help when you have time, and I'll give you a share."
"10%? That's too much!" Ah Hu muttered: "I'll just contribute! Liu Xing only gets 40%, so I can't take too much!"
Xue Ling stopped and said, "I'll give you 10% of my 60%. It's easy to calculate. That's it. I'm only responsible for investment, so I won't be able to help. My 50% is enough."
…
Ahu went to chat with the landlord early the next morning and explained that if he agreed to sign a five- or ten-year contract, he would be willing to pay one year's rent at a time.
The landlord may be in urgent need of money, so he readily agreed and signed a ten-year contract.
Ahu was also unambiguous and gave him five hundred yuan.
That afternoon, Ahu and Liu Xing's father Liu Dafu continued to clean.
After Liu Xing got off work, he came with Wang Qing, and the two of them quickly started to help.
Wang Qing is 100% supportive of Liu Xing's decision to open a photo studio.
The two of them had already talked about their affairs, and their parents met, discussed their marriage, and agreed to set it at the end of the year.
Her mother asked for a bride price of 480 yuan and emphasized that no cent should be taken less, which stumped Liu Xing.
He had to save money to pay back Xue Ling and save the bride price. He couldn't spare any money every day, and he couldn't even bear to eat meat.
She secretly felt distressed, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Her current monthly salary, except for the bus fare, has to be handed over to her parents, so she cannot help Liu Xing at all.
Both of them were secretly anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
Fortunately, Xue Ling, an old colleague, saved them from dire straits and agreed to invest in a photo studio. She would contribute the money and Liu Xing would contribute.
After Liu Xing told her, she was extremely happy. Not only did she support him mentally, but she also planned to support him through action, saying that she would come over to help during lunch break and after get off work.
While Wang Qing was cleaning, he discussed with Liu Xing how to decorate the photo studio.
They are both literary and artistic young people, and they are at a romantic age. They love romance and passion, and are full of talents and sentiments.
Ahu couldn't talk to them and just smiled.
"You just have to make the decision! I have no problem!"
In the next few days, Liu Xing and Wang Qing hurriedly bought things to decorate the photo studio, while Ahu prepared other things and were very busy.
Cheng Tianyuan drove to the provincial capital airport, successfully picked up Xue's mother, and drove her back to Wangjiangyuan in Rongcheng.
Xue’s mother was very satisfied with their river view room and praised: “The air is good, the view is good, the floor is neither high nor low, it’s very good!”
Xue Ling held her big belly and welcomed him out with a smile.
"I chose it, of course it's good!"
Mother Xue looked at her bulging belly and smiled from ear to ear.
"Fortunately, it was in time! I was busy preparing supplements and clothes, but your dad always urged me, saying that if I gave birth early, it would be too late."
Cheng Tianyuan walked behind, carrying several large bags.
"Mom, you can buy everything here. It's too expensive for you."
Xue's mother smiled and said: "Some of them were specially bought by friends. Giving birth is a big deal for a woman and cannot be taken lightly. My mother, Lingling's grandmother, took care of me during my confinement period. She had studied medicine before and knew how to do it.
A lot. I have learned a little bit, and I will take care of her during the confinement period, which can be regarded as a family inheritance."
She quickly asked: "The due date is five days later, right? I have to prepare for it in the past few days, and it may be a little earlier."
