Around 2 p.m., everyone gradually started going home.

Most of them are street vendors, and they're all thinking about going back to setting up their stalls.

However, He Ling and her family did not leave.

He Wenlin sensed that they had something to say.

Sure enough, after everyone else had left, He Ling said to He Wenlin, "Linlin, what do you think about me setting up a stall at the night market to sell peach shortbread and egg rolls?"

"You're not setting up shop in the High-tech Zone anymore?"

He Ling shook her head: "No, that's not it. My mom can manage on her own over there. She can handle everything by herself. It's me who wants to earn more."

Seeing He Wenlin's business grow bigger and bigger, He Ling naturally wanted to take it a step further as well.

"Linlin, what do you think?"

“We can give it a try,” He Wenlin said. “Whether it will sell well or not, I can’t say for sure, but I think it’s good to be bold in business when you’re young. After all, you’re not married yet and don’t have the pressure of supporting a family.”

Once you're married, without some foundation, ordinary people really wouldn't dare to try it easily.

"Then I'll give it a try." He Ling was already eager to try.

He Wenlin asked, "Do you have a suitable stall?"

“My former colleague who worked at a clothing store partnered with someone to buy some clothes at the night market at the end of last year, but business wasn’t good. He didn’t earn as much as he did working a regular job, and now he wants to sell it.”

"If you take over, won't you have to take over the clothes too?"

"They're clearing out their clothes, so there probably won't be many left. Even if there are a few sacks left, I plan to take them back home for the New Year and sell them at a stall for five yuan each. You saw how well your stalls did last year; if I sell them for five yuan each, someone will surely want them."

"You're going to take it back home to dispose of it during the New Year? You really don't mind the trouble or the distance." He Wenlin was speechless.

He Ling said, "Linlin, why don't you come with me tonight to take a look?"

"Okay, we'll go over after dinner tonight."

Actually, He Wenlin felt that He Ling was quite thoughtful.

Most importantly, her parents also supported her; otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed with her.

He Wenlin found this to be very valuable.

Because He Ling is actually earning quite a bit now, many parents, especially those of girls from rural areas, rarely let her do whatever she wants.

...

At 7:30 p.m., Mr. He drove He Ling's family to the night market.

The night market was already bustling with people at 8 o'clock.

Especially today, being a holiday, there are even more people.

We quickly found the stall He Ling had mentioned; it was located in the center.

However, the other party wants a transfer fee of 10,000 yuan, which includes everything you see on the stall: tents, goods, three months' rent, and the money held up by the night market management office.

The money held by the management office is non-refundable. If the business is terminated, it will be transferred to the next boss, and the current boss will collect the money from the next boss, and so on in a continuous cycle.

"Linlin, what do you think?" He Ling asked softly.

"Do you want to win her over?" He Wenlin asked her.

"I'd like to, but we're undecided on the price. What do you think would be a suitable amount?"

He Wenlin's fellow villager, He Yongping: "Sir, what do you think?"

"I don't care, you can figure it out yourselves," He Yongping laughed. "I don't understand anything, what can I think? You sisters can discuss it yourselves, just don't cry if you lose money."

“I think 8,000 for the transfer fee is about right. Three months’ rent is at most 1,800. The management office deposit is about 3,000. Add other things, and 8,000 is about right. But you should ask for 7,200 first, leaving room for negotiation.”

He Wenlin gave her some advice.

“I also looked at the stalls before, a bag seller, the size of which was about the same. Their rent was 600 a month and the deposit was 3,000, but they had too much stock, so we didn’t reach an agreement. You can give it a try.”

It would be better for He Ling to handle the talks herself; she needs to grow and mature.

He Ling was lucky; the two people on the other end had no intention of running the business anymore and just wanted to sell it off and split up as soon as possible!

So it was settled very easily.

Both parties agree to come at 5 PM tomorrow morning at 10 AM to sign the contract and complete the formalities.
