Chapter 116 The First Family Investment Meeting

"The only thing that's unmatched is the location of the entrance and exit. As for its convenience..." An Songyu pushed the door open and walked out.

There's no need to look around; just looking at the width of the doorway makes it seem inadequate.

She pointed to the not insignificant flow of traffic on the street.

Motorcycles and bicycles were the most common vehicles among them.

"Look, there are more and more cars on the street."

"But there's nowhere to park after you come in from the intersection!"

"There's nowhere else to put it, just put the bicycle in front of our door!" the homeowner retorted somewhat guiltily.

His house is not very well-organized.

Come in from the main road that's right in front of his shop.

There were two roads branching off right in front of his house.

One is a main road that goes through the other side and connects to the other side.

The other road connects to the adjacent residential area.

Moreover, this road connects to a small alleyway that runs outside his yard.

Previously, the main gate of his house was located in a small alley on the other side of the courtyard.

After the reform and opening up, this area became increasingly lively.

Taking advantage of this location, his family converted the back of the house into three shops of different sizes.

However, it's unclear whether it's due to the store's layout.

Or for some other reason.

This location looks good, though.

None of the several businesses that rented their shops were able to stay for long.

This year, he made a great effort to renovate the three shops back to their current state.

Hearing An Songyu still finding fault with him made him feel a little insecure.

The homeowner looked quite suspicious.

An Songyu shook her head again: "Besides, your house only has one floor."

"It's too old, but the shop size is sufficient."

“But we don’t live around here, and there’s not even a place to stay in the shop, so it’s even more inconvenient.”

The homeowner was speechless.

He looked at An Songyu: "Since this is no good and that is no good, why do you still want to buy it?"

“Of course it’s different!” An Songyu smiled matter-of-factly.

"If I buy it, I can spend the money without worrying about renovating the kitchen and bathroom, or cleaning up the yard!"

The homeowner was taken aback by her words.

For a moment, I didn't know how to react.

An Songyu stopped urging him.

She turned and discussed it with the others, gave the landlord a contact number, and then left.

Today, they're not just looking at this one shop.

The first place I came to visit wasn't because the location was particularly good.

But this place is indeed the closest to the location where the three of them agreed to meet.

After riding her bicycle a distance away, An Songyu couldn't help but look back one last time.

"Do you think that place is good?" Yu Yingying asked curiously.

An Songyu considered for a moment before nodding, then shaking her head:

"I did find a good location, but the shop's entrance is terrible!"

Upon hearing An Songyu's words, the two people beside him also began to think.

Finally, it was Senior Sister Yu Yingying who was the first to react: "What if we open the door on the side?"

How about one on each side?

His reminder made them realize what he meant immediately.

Yu Yingying was so excited that she almost took her bike handlebars off.

The bicycle handlebars wobbled precariously, scaring the group so much that they dared not move as far as before, almost touching each other.

Once she had regained her balance on the bike, Yu Yingying was able to speak up and say what she had just said:

"Seal off the main gate here as well."

"The entire thing is made up of huge glass windows!"

"Wow, Ah Yu, you have such a brilliant mind! Just thinking about it makes me realize how wonderful a store like this would be!"

An Songyu smiled but didn't say anything.

If we could actually buy that shop...

Unless the other shops they looked at today were unsuitable, An Songyu had no intention of putting it to use anytime soon.

Such an old house, in such a location.

An Songyu himself felt that demolishing and rebuilding would be a waste.

We'll build a five-story building then.

There are advantages to opening any kind of store.

As for what she said about the location not being that good...

It's not as inconvenient as you might think.

The prominent intersection there is indeed not far away.

There is indeed limited space in front of the store.

Parking motorcycles and bicycles is not very convenient.

But once there are more private cars in the future, no one will even think of driving their car inside.

There's no need to worry about parking anymore.

Of course, sealing off the front door now doesn't mean it will stay sealed off forever.

This is just a temporary measure for the sake of the current business.

However, compared to shops located on the main street, it still has a bit of a "good wine needs no bush" feel to it.

But as soon as the new building is completed, it will naturally attract attention.

Thinking about it, An Songyu became even more hopeful about whether the homeowner would reply.

However, An Songyu was not too worried.

The questions are about the house, and even whether there are any hidden issues with the shops we're about to visit.

Master Yu Yingying and her senior brother had already inquired about it.

An Songyu knew this before she went.

That shop changed owners twice in just this year.

They couldn't even collect a third one.

The homeowner, seeing that things weren't going well, simply combined all three original shops together and did a simple renovation.

For the rest of the day, An Songyu accompanied the three of them to check out the shop locations they thought were good.

Overall, the three of them were indeed very sincere in their entrepreneurial aspirations.

Each shop I found has its perfect place.

An Songyu felt an urge to buy every single shop.

But there are no more places like the first one we saw.

Finally, the four of them decided on a location not far from the first shop.

Its area is not small, and there is room outside to put two or three tables.

However, it is not a standalone private house.

Instead, it refers to the shops along the street.

All four were satisfied, and they signed the rental agreement.

An Songyu took the things and went home.

That evening, at An Songyu's invitation, the An family gathered together for their first family investment meeting.

When I first saw the exceptionally formal letter of intent in An Songyu's hand.

The An family was particularly cautious.

However, after they saw the contents and the final investment amount, Bi Lizhu fell silent.

Finally, An Songxiang couldn't help but mutter, "Just over 20,000? And you only need to pay half?"

And you even had to hold a family meeting for this?

An Songxiang was ultimately unable to utter her last words.

Seeing that she had behaved herself, An Jianping finally let go of her.

Bi Lizhu couldn't help but rub her forehead. She really wondered if her daughter was protesting what she had said back then.

Otherwise, why would such a small matter be handled so formally?

Of course, Bi Lizhu didn't think it was bad either.

After all, considering their current income.

This amount of over 20,000 yuan is something that neither of them could possibly save up even if they didn't eat or drink for a whole year.

After allocating tens of millions of dollars in wealth to their own accounts at the bank.

Bi Lizhu felt that the amount of investment in front of her left her speechless.

In particular, she has been hearing a lot lately about the people in Jiangcun who have received compensation for their land expropriation.

Even just the jewelry he wore and the car he owned had been upgraded.

Let alone ten or twenty thousand!

Even if it's only a few hundred thousand, it's nothing!

I heard that just one trip to Hong Kong would cost more than that amount at more than one place!

What's more, their children were discussing investment matters!
