I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 373 A Symbolic Step

After sitting on the bed for a while, when I felt that I was awake, I called Lao Mi and asked him if his fever had subsided.Lao Mi said that he quit last night, so I don't have to worry about it.

I offered to bring him breakfast, but he also refused, saying that he had eaten with my mother in the hotel.

I know that they don't want me to worry about it, and they don't want to cause me trouble.

I didn't say anything more on the phone, and then I called Xiao Song from the car rental company and asked him to send a car to take Lao Mi and my mother to Erhai Lake, especially my mother, who has never been out much in her life. When I go to a place like Dali, I certainly hope that she can see the most beautiful scenery.It's a pity that I'm too busy, otherwise I wouldn't ask Xiao Song to do it for me anyway.

……

After waking up, I was sober, but my body still felt heavy and my head was tingling. I knew it was a sign of a hangover, but if I recall it now, I couldn’t remember how much I drank last night. Anyway, I don’t refuse anyone who comes, and everyone thinks that I drink well, and no one persuades me. In the end, I just bottle after bottle, until I completely lost consciousness, and even the memory of whether I vomited or not is blank, but I drank so much wine. , will definitely vomit.

I went to knock on Chen Jin's door, wanting to ask who sent me back last night, but this buddy never came back at all, presumably he stayed with some woman for the night again.

……

After taking a shower and changing into more formal attire, I went to the studio, and then made an appointment with two merchants who wanted to invest in Jiulongju to set up shops.

After a series of publicity and packaging, the reputation of Jiulongju has been established, and some merchants have begun to make profits, so our studio has gradually changed from a weak side to a strong one... What about the process of cooperation? There are too many twists and turns. Both merchants have approved the conditions I proposed. Of course, I have also given a large degree of concession on the rent. After all, it is cooperation. Too strong is against the spirit of cooperation. This is not in line with my business. in principle.

In just one morning, the studio rented out two more shops, and received a total rent of 8 yuan, so Sanbao said that our studio’s daily income is calculated in units of [-] yuan, which is not an exaggeration... In addition to investing in some necessary environmental renovations Funding, as well as publicity funds; the remaining money is our profit, which will basically reach [-] to [-]%, which is actually very scary.

……

It was already noon in a blink of an eye. When I was about to go out to eat something, Cao Xiaobei found the studio. He is not a person who can chat with me, so the moment he walked in, I already guessed that he I'm here.

Sure enough, he took out a real estate certificate from his bag, put it on the table, and said to me: "I have already considered what you told me that day. I need money to invest urgently. Please help me." If you sell a shop, I will give you 1 yuan as a favor."

I smiled, and replied: "I can't tell, you have good eyesight, and you seem to be asking for help."

"Don't talk nonsense, I've already got the real estate certificate, can you sell it for me?"

"Selling can definitely be sold, but selling a shop is not like selling vegetables in a vegetable market. There must be a long cycle..."

While I was talking to Cao Xiaobei, Chen Jin, who had been missing all night, finally came to the studio. Like me, he was extremely depressed. He must have drunk as much wine as I did last night.

He threw his backpack and keys on the office table, and while taking a cup of water, he said to Cao Xiaobei and me: "The sun is coming out from the west today! You two are not the masters who can meet and chat together , can you satisfy my curiosity and tell me, what brings you two together?"

I took out a cigarette and lit it, and then replied: "He is anxiously waiting for the money, and asked me to help him sell a shop."

As I spoke, I winked at Chen Jin. Our long-term working together had already created a tacit understanding between us. He immediately understood my intentions, immediately put down his teacup, and said solemnly, "Yo, far water can't save those who are close." Huo, this shop will definitely not be sold for a while."

I nodded in agreement.

Cao Xiaobei said to me with a cold face: "Are you kidding me? You are the one who asked me to sell the store..."

I replied innocently: "When I suggested that you sell, I don't know how anxious you are. If you can wait, I will definitely have a way to sell it for you... Otherwise, you can go to an intermediary, maybe They can hurry up..."

Chen Jin took the words and said: "You are wrong, it is even more unreliable to find an intermediary, shops are not as good as houses, and the market is actually not that good... Especially in Dali, those who are capable of investing are definitely the first choice Housing, after all, is more stable than shops, and the investment income is not lower than ordinary shops... I have a friend who is an intermediary, and said that their company has not opened a shop for several months, but the house is open every day. Every day. "

I nodded: "That's not easy!"

Cao Xiaobei seemed to be in a hurry to spend the money, and he said, "As long as I can sell it quickly, I can sell it at a lower price than the market price."

This is what Chen Jin and I were waiting for. After the two of them looked at each other, Chen Jin said: "Mi Gao, our studio has some spare money on the books, why don't we buy a set in our studio... Anyway, what we are doing is the business of Jiulongju. If we buy this shop, we can rent it out long-term. Although we won’t make a lot of money, it is more at ease to be an agent, after all, it is our own shop.”

I frowned and replied: "I don't agree. If we do this, we will have no spare money on the books. If something unexpected happens, our studio will be very passive!"

"Didn't Cao Xiaobei say that it's sold below the market price... It would be foolish for this shop to fall into the hands of others, but in our hands, we have a way to make money with it, so I think it's worth taking a little risk. ...On the other hand, it can be regarded as doing Cao Xiaobei a favor."

I looked embarrassed, and then acted like I was about to waver.

Chen Jin picked up the real estate certificate brought by Cao Xiaobei to look at it, and then turned to Cao Xiaobei and said, "There are two upper and lower floors, a total of 82.88 square meters, tell me, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

Cao Xiaobei thought for a while and replied, "The market price is 100 million. If you buy it sincerely, it will be 90...but I want cash and don't accept loans."

"Mi Gao, what do you think of this price?"

"Taller……"

I said so, but I was already satisfied with the price in my heart, but as a businessman, you can suppress a little bit. This is not greedy for cheap, but the nature of a businessman. After all, I use these shops to make money. Of course, the smaller the better.

Cao Xiaobei asked me, "Then how much can you pay?"

"Buy it out, 80 yuan, I won't pay for anything more."

Cao Xiaobei became anxious, and he accused loudly: "You told me the market price of 100 million before, but now it's only 80, what do you mean?"

I replied calmly: "Three reasons, first: we only have 70 in cash on the books of our studio, and we have to figure out a way for the remaining 10; second, you are now Anxiously waiting to use the money, if you don’t want to sell the shop, you can borrow usury, see how the interest is calculated for you over there, after a few months, if you borrow 80, I’m afraid you won’t be able to repay even 100 million… Compared with usury, we are very sincere in offering a price of 80 yuan, and we are a one-shot deal. In the end, you can rest assured that we can also rest assured; third: I told you the price of 100 million yuan at the time, for It is 16 square meters in your 96 sets of shops, and the one you are selling now is only 82 square meters, do you think I really took advantage of you?"

Cao Xiaobei gritted his teeth and looked at me, but he seemed to be dominated by some kind of force in his heart. After struggling for a while, he finally said: "80 transaction, I will do the transfer in the afternoon, can your money be in place today?"

I said to Chen Jin: "Call Tina and ask her if she can lend us 10 yuan."

Chen Jin dialed the phone, and then gave me an OK gesture... This time, it's really not that we are acting, and with the 8 yuan rent received in the morning, our studio's book is indeed only 72 yuan More cash.

But for me, there is no pressure at all, because the development trend of the studio is very good now, so it won't be long before the hole of 10 yuan can be filled.

……

In the afternoon, we completed all the transfer procedures with Cao Xiaobei; at the same time, we also transferred 80 in cash to his bank card.

This is a big event with symbolic significance. Whether I can take a big step forward depends on the investment plan of this store... I am ready, and I will buy it from Cao Xiaobei next time. This set of shops went to the bank for loans, and then went to buy more shops. Once the commercial street of Jiulongju starts to fully appreciate, it will be the time when the studio and I will reap great results.

……

In the evening, Yang Sisi found me. She came to scold me, saying that I had cheated Cao Xiaobei.

I didn't rush to explain to her, but instead asked her, do you know who sent me back to my residence after I got drunk last night?
