Chapter 552 Opening a Branch Store

Just as Tan Xiyuan was worrying about finding a shop, she saw a listing for a prime shop for sale in a Chinese WeChat group.

The shop being transferred is a small supermarket.

It has two floors, totaling over 1,000 square meters.

This small supermarket is in a great location, and most importantly, it's spacious.

Tan Xiyuan immediately dialed the number on WeChat.

Fortunately, the shop had not yet been transferred, so Tan Xiyuan quickly arranged a time to view the shop with the other party.

She arranged to meet in the afternoon.

Just then, Li Man and Chen Xiaohui also got off work, and she wanted them to go and take a look too.

From the other party's description, she was very satisfied with the shop, but the rent was a bit high, costing a whopping $200,000 a month.

So she wanted Li Man and Chen Xiaohui to go and take a look as well. If they had no objections to the price, then they could sign the contract.

In the afternoon, Tan Xiyuan picked up Li Man and Chen Xiaohui and took them to see the shop.

Riemann was very satisfied with the shop, but felt the rent was too high, so the three of them bargained with the landlord there.

After haggling for ages, talking until my saliva was dry, the landlord was only willing to reduce the price by ten thousand US dollars.

Ten thousand less is ten thousand less, better than nothing. Tan Xiyuan signed the shop lease.

The shop lease was signed, and the next step was to find someone to do the renovations.

Such a large shop, with two floors and more than a thousand square meters, must have cost a lot to renovate.

Tan Xiyuan made a budget, and the hotel would require an investment of at least two million US dollars.

"How much can you invest now?" Tan Xiyuan asked.

Riemann has earned over $600,000 in the past few months, and with her savings, she can invest around $700,000.

She then said, "I'll invest seven hundred thousand US dollars."

Chen Xiaohui said, "I'll invest 400,000 US dollars."

“There’s still a shortfall of nine hundred thousand US dollars. I’ll cover it all myself,” Tan Xiyuan said.

I originally wanted Gu Ya to invest as well, but now it seems that the three of them are enough.

...

Once the decision was made to open a branch, Riemann began training the restaurant's employees. When the new store opened, the staff transferred there would be at the leadership level.

The store staff were delighted to hear the news and became even more proactive.

However, Riemann was still aware of who performed well in general.

Zhou Shen performed very well in the kitchen, and Li Man wanted to transfer him to the new store, but thinking of Chen Xiaohui, she went to discuss it with her.

Upon hearing that Zhou Shen was to be transferred to the new store, Chen Xiaohui expressed no objection.

Since she rejected Zhou Shen, she has stopped asking him to accompany her grocery shopping.

Since you won't accept him, don't give him any hope.

Therefore, Chen Xiaohui gave Zhou Shen absolutely no hope.

I wanted to make him give up on that idea.

However, Li Man knew that Chen Xiaohui still couldn't let go of Zhou Shen.

She always wore the birthday gift that Zhou Shen gave her.

It's a ring.

She strung it on a rope and wore it around her neck.

"Are you really not going to consider Zhou Shen? I think he's a pretty honest person and very proactive."

After spending several months together, Li Man felt that Zhou Shen was a pretty reliable person.

Chen Xiaohui shook her head. "No, I don't want to get married right now, so I don't want to hold him back."

“You can date even if you don’t get married,” Riemann said.

Chen Xiaohui glared at Li Man, "Isn't that harming people? Dating without the intention of marriage is just playing around."

Riemann chuckled and said, "You haven't even been in a relationship, how do you know if it's right for you?"
