Chen Simian smoked a cigarette, thought for a while, and was about to say something, but suddenly said to Chen Yu: "Okay, Xiaoyu, you go back to your room and read a book, your mother and I have other things to do."

"okay."

Chen Yu nodded obediently.

Although the parents didn't say anything, he knew that the two of them were moved.

Chapter 9: Renting a Storefront

"Wenxiu, according to Xiaoyu, our funds are no problem, but can we do this monopoly of snails?"

"Aren't you agitated, and you still ask me."

"The main reason is that I don't know much about it. It seems feasible, but what if I lose money?"

"If you lose, you will lose, and the investment will be around 1 at most, and we can still afford to lose."

"Too."

Chen Simian couldn't help laughing: "Unexpectedly, this guy Xiaoyu gave us a good idea."

"It doesn't matter who gave birth."

"Yes, yes, you gave birth. But, Wenxiu, do you feel that Xiaoyu is different from before?"

"It's not the same, what's the difference, is it the same?"

"I can't say it, but I feel that Xiaoyu is more thoughtful and mature."

"That's not good, let's go, I'll go buy a few catties of snails in a while."

"Ah, why buy snails?"

"What else can we do? Don't we want to sell snails? I'll come up with some tricks."

Zhang Wenxiu was in a hurry, and now she didn't even wash the dishes, and was going to buy a few catties of snails home first.

……

"It's cool."

When he woke up, Chen Yu stretched.

These days, I didn't sleep well in the Internet cafe. Now I lay down at home, but I slept straight into the night.

"Hey, what does it smell like? It smells so good."

A scent wafted over, and Chen Yu walked out of the room.

Seeing his mother put a few plates of snails on the table, Chen Yu couldn't help but grab one.

Suck.

Chen Yu is a master at eating snails. He doesn't need a toothpick at all. He just sucks the meat out of the snails.

"You child, you don't know how to use gloves, but you even use your hands to grab them. Put on your gloves quickly."

"Okay."

Chen Yu put on the gloves and ate several more in a row.

"How about it, it's delicious."

"It's delicious, it's so delicious."

"A bowl can sell for 3 yuan."

"It's more than 3 yuan, mom, I think people will buy it for 5 yuan."

"You just blow you away."

Even so, Zhang Wenxiu smiled happily.

"Hey, mom, why are there so many bowls of snails?"

"This one seems to taste different."

"I'll try again."

After eating one in a bowl, Chen Yu understood: "Mom, you made snails with different flavors."

"I thought you couldn't eat it."

"Mom, this one seems to be garlic-flavored, this one is thirteen-flavored, wow, it's also spicy..."

"Mom, you are talented."

In one breath, Zhang Wenxiu actually made 5 flavors of snails.

"It's still in your mouth that you tasted all of it."

"Hey, I'm a famous foodie, how could I not be able to eat it. Mom, hurry up and open the shop now."

"Go aside, you think it's so easy to open a store. Not only do you need to contact the raw materials, but you also have to find a suitable store."

"The raw materials are simple, and now there are wholesale snails, which are very easy to buy. Moreover, the production of fried snails is relatively simple, and no large kitchen equipment is required. Then we can fry dozens of catties at once, which is easier than opening an ordinary restaurant. As for the storefront, it’s easy to find too, Mom, I think the location next to Guoguang Supermarket is good.”

"It's next to Guoguang, which is the center of the county. The rent there is very expensive, and I can't afford it."

"Mom, if you don't check it out, how do you know you can't afford it? Let's go, I'll show you around, maybe you can rent it."

"The horoscope hasn't been written yet, so what are you in a hurry for?"

"I have to rent it early and late, so it's better to have a look first. If there is a suitable store, it will be troublesome if it is rented out by others."

"Well, let me ask your father."

Although a little fast, the two of them were also excited. When they had time in the evening, the three of them prepared to walk around to see if there was a suitable store.

It's just a pity, after looking around, there are stores, but the rent is very expensive.

"Xiaoyu, I think we should go to Tongyi Market for a walk, the rent here is too expensive."

Looking at those rents that would cost several thousand more at every turn, Zhang Wenxiu was too scared to ask.

"Mom, Tongyi Market is just a vegetable market. There are only people there in the morning, and there are very few people in the evening. And the consumption capacity there is not good enough. Even if the rent is cheap there, we can't rent it."

"But the rent here is too expensive."

"Expensive also has its value. Hey, isn't there a room for rent?"

Pointing to the front, Chen Yu said.

"Look at it."

The three of them stepped forward, but Zhang Wenxiu looked at it and said, "No, it's too small, it seems to be only about ten square meters."

"It's really too small. A few tables in such a small place will probably be full, and business can't be done."

Chen Simian also said.

It's just that Chen Yu looked at this store very seriously, and then said, "Mom, I think this one is okay."

"Can?"

Zhang Wenxiu shook her head: "How do you do business at such a small age?"

"Mom, don't look at him as small, but he's in a good position."

Chen Yu analyzed Zhang Wenxiu: "Look, it's close to Guoguang Shopping Center, and the flow of people is very large."

"This is the first and the second. This street sells Mala Tang, stinky tofu, milk tea, and Liangpi. There are also many vendors selling snacks on the beach. This is a typical snack street. , we open a store here, and we don’t have to worry about no customers coming.”

"But this store is still too small."

Zhang Wenxiu, whom Chen Yu mentioned, also agrees that the location here is really good.

In addition, it is also a street of snacks, which is very popular.

But no matter what, a small shop is a small shop, what kind of business can a small shop do.

"Small, not small. Mom, you see that this store is small, but have you noticed that the opening of this store is 5 meters, and the other stores are only 3 meters at most. The larger the opening, the easier it is to be noticed. Also Yes, although the depth of this store is only about three meters, but the entrance of this store is an empty concrete floor. Mom, think about it, if we can put the table on the concrete open space at night."

Having said that, both Zhang Wenxiu and Chen Simian looked at the store seriously.

As Chen Yu said, this shop is small, but the concrete space in front of him is huge.

Now it is not like later generations, you will be fined if you set up a beach at will, but now it is more lenient.Not to mention that they have their own shop to set up tables, but a large number of people who have not rented a shop here can set up tables anywhere.

If the concrete space in front of him is utilized, then this business will definitely be worthwhile.

"Wenxiu, I took a look. The cement space is huge, and we can set up several tables. In addition, I like to eat snacks like snails outside. I don't feel that way when I eat them in the store."

Chen Simian interrupted.

"That's right, whoever likes to eat in the restaurant for supper now, likes to put it outside, while eating the snails, while watching the stars, the moon, and the beauties... Uh, no, Dad is right, anyway, it's outside You can feel it when you eat it."

"Xiaoyu, you are a high school student now, so you can't think wildly."

Zhang Wenxiu reprimanded Chen Yu.

"I know, I know, I just said it casually. And, mom, there is one more important point. Because this shop is small, its rent will not be too expensive."

"Okay, let me ask. Old Chen, hurry up and call the landlord."

It's 2001, and cell phones aren't as common as they are in later generations.

Even at home, only Chen Simian has a Nokia blue screen phone.

It is said to be a blue-screen mobile phone, but it is actually a black-and-white mobile phone without a color screen.

Of course, even if it is a blue-screen mobile phone, the average family may not necessarily have it.

"It seems that when I have to get my smartphone out."

Thinking of the smart phones of later generations, Chen Yu felt a little itchy.

Chapter 10: Buying Out Skill Books

The landlord came over quickly after receiving the call.

After negotiating, the landlord insisted that the rent must be 1500 yuan a month.

Of course, 1500 yuan a month is nothing to future generations, and it can even be said to be outrageously low.

But in 2001, 1500 yuan was quite expensive.

Zhang Wenxiu and Chen Simian were easy to talk about, but the other party just refused to give in.

Seeing this, Chen Yu stepped forward and said, "Uncle, I want to chat with you, is that okay?"

"Who is this?"

"This is my son, Chen Yu."

"Oh."

The landlord didn't care, and smoked a cigarette by himself: "You two, you can see that my store is small, but the location is good, and the opening is very large, which is very suitable for you to do business. 1500 yuan is not expensive, you see Looking at the previous ones, it’s almost 2000 yuan.”

Seeing that the landlord ignored him, Chen Yu was not angry, and stepped forward and said: "Uncle, you can't say that. Although your shop is in a good location, it is still small, and it is only suitable for us to do some small businesses. If it is other businesses, I guess it’s enough. I observed it. In the past year, uncle, your shop has changed 3 tenants. For each tenant, your shop has to stop for a month or two. Come and go, to be honest, 12 tenants a year months, you can get 10 months’ rent and that’s pretty good.”

"Kid, you can't talk nonsense."

"Uncle, I didn't talk nonsense. I went to see several real estate agencies just now, and your storefront is listed in 7 real estate agencies. It must be that the storefront is not easy to rent. You have ideas to sell the storefront. Actually I also know that you landlords, uncle, just want to keep your rent stable. As long as we continue to pay you rent every month for a long time, your income will be guaranteed the most. If you want to increase the rent, you will force this person out today Tenant, the tenant who transfers tomorrow, not to mention that he won't receive much rent, I'm afraid it will be troublesome."

"This……"

"Of course, uncle, we also think the location of your store is good. In this way, we can pay more liquidated damages. You can lower the rent a little bit, what do you think?"

After going through the details, the landlord agreed with Chen Yu's statement and lowered the rent from 1500 yuan to 1200 yuan.

"Landlord, happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

"Hehe, uncle, you still have to give us a one-month renovation period."

"Tsk tsk, Boss Chen, your son is amazing. You paid me a price before, but now you want me to renovate for a month. It's too good. I'm sure, your son will definitely make a lot of money in the future."

"Uncle, everyone has a renovation period, you can't break the rules."

"Okay, okay, I will give you a one-month renovation period according to you. But let's talk about it. If you break the contract, I will hold you five times the monthly rent as liquidated damages. At that time, don't blame me for being cruel."

"Of course."
