Chapter 462 Preparing to Open a Restaurant (Part Two)

Chen Xiaohui did the math in her head: with an investment of three million, her two hundred thousand would still only give her a ten percent stake.

She felt that her investment was too small.

Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Li Man asked, "Xiao Hui, how much investment can you make here?"

Chen Xiaohui sighed and said, "I can only come up with 200,000 at most."

Tan Xiyuan said, "How about I lend you some?"

Chen Xiaohui shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'll just invest 200,000. I still have a salary, so it's enough for me every month."

Seeing Chen Xiaohui say this, Tan Xiyuan and Li Man stopped trying to persuade her.

Tan Xiyuan looked at Li Man and asked, "Li Man, what about you? How much can you invest?"

Of the one million Zhang Yan gave, five hundred thousand was used to pay Huang Duoduo's tuition, leaving five hundred thousand. After thinking for a moment, Li Man said, "I'll invest five hundred thousand."

Tan Xiyuan said, "Alright, the two of you have a total of 700,000. I'll contribute 1.3 million, and Gu Ya will contribute 1 million."

Both Riemann and Chen Xiaohui expressed no objection.

Tan Xiyuan said happily, "Then it's decided. I'll call the landlord now and sign the contract first."

Li Man said, "Okay, let's sign the contract and start preparing for the renovation."

Tan Xiyuan gave an OK sign, picked up her phone, and called the landlord.

After receiving the call, the landlord quickly came out with the contract.

Surprisingly, the landlord turned out to be Chinese.

Although we were from the same hometown, we didn't have tears in our eyes.

Many people who have studied abroad have said this: "When you're away from home, stay away from people from your hometown, because they are often the ones who will take advantage of you."

Alright, enough with the chit-chat.

After signing the contract with the landlord, Tan Xiyuan paid four months' rent.

Then the three of them went to find a renovation company.

Labor costs are extremely high in country M, and their work efficiency is extremely slow. They don't work on weekends, and the working hours are eight hours a day. They don't give you overtime, and you leave work on time regardless of whether the work is finished or not.

Therefore, the renovation time is uncertain. In short, when the renovation will be completed depends on their schedule, and you can't rush them!

They wouldn't work overtime for the sake of overtime pay.

Chen Xiaohui joked, "If I had known, I would have gone to learn interior design. They refused to work overtime, so I did. What a fool I was, not making money when I could."

Tan Xiyuan laughed and said, "Here, whether you're working or running a business, you're closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Only Chinese shops are open on Saturdays and Sundays. I guess every country has different ideas and values. You laugh at them for being stupid, but they laugh at you for being stupid. You're working yourself to death for money, which is not worth it!"

Even so, Chen Xiaohui still felt that it would be foolish not to make money when there was an opportunity!

She suddenly realized that it was such a good place to make money.

Because the people here are lazy, if she works harder, she can earn money, right?

Yes, what others enjoy in life, Chen Xiaohui sees as laziness!

After leaving the renovation company, Tan Xiyuan said, "Now we can only wait for them to finish renovating the store before we buy the equipment. Otherwise, we won't have anywhere to put the equipment."

Riemann said, "That's the only way."

"Then let's go home first?" Tan Xiyuan looked at Li Man and Chen Xiaohui, seeking their opinions.

Chen Xiaohui had just arrived and didn't want to go back so soon; she wanted to wander around some more, so she said, "Why don't you go back first? I want to wander around a bit more."
