Chapter 175 Opening a Cosmetics Store

Sarin was surprised, "You want to open a cosmetics store?"

Lin Shuyin nodded, "Yes, I want to open a cosmetics store next year."

Sarin thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to withdraw your shares. Our store makes 2,000 yuan a month. If you withdraw your shares, you will lose a lot. Tell me how much you need and I will lend it to you first."

Lin Shuyin shook her head, "No, you can run the clothing store, I want to run my cosmetics store."

Sarin, "You are so unlucky."

Lin Shuyin, "What's the loss? I've made back all the money I invested in the past few months."

Sarin, "You don't think about it"

Lin Shuyin: “No need.”

Sarin said, "Then I'll give you the money during the Chinese New Year."

Lin Shuyin nodded, "Okay, no rush."

When Lin Shuyin and Salin were talking, Shen Guannan and Lin Jianshe did not interrupt. They did not understand business matters, so they just decided between the two of them.

Opening a shop is troublesome, and opening a hotel is even more troublesome. Brother Shen and Yang Caijie planned to open their hotel in early December, but due to various reasons, it was delayed until the end of December.

The first floor is for dining, and the second floor is for private rooms, ten of which are in total.

A hotel is not like a clothing store where you only need two people to look after the business. In addition to the chef, the kitchen also needs dough makers, knife sharpeners, whey cutters, dishwashers, and food servers. The front of house is staffed by waiters and cashiers.

Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Shen can do the dishwasher job, and the boss lady Yang Caijie will do the cashier herself.

Other personnel need to be recruited.

With such a big store and several employees, Yang Caijie and Shen Hebin are under tremendous pressure.

Fortunately, they tried to operate the restaurant for a few days. Although the restaurant was not packed with customers every day, the tables were basically full. Sometimes customers would go upstairs to the private rooms. This gave the couple great confidence.

The customers also responded very well, saying that the dishes cooked by their chef are delicious.

Whenever this happens, Yang Caijie will always add,

"The chef is the chef of a state-owned hotel."

Lin Shuyin also went to the hotel on the day it opened. She took half a day off and greeted guests at the door with her sister-in-law Yang Caijie. Yang Caijie took some time to chat with her, "Sister-in-law, you don't know how much pressure I've been under these days."

“I can’t sleep at night.”

She owned the store, and she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if she lost money.

Lin Shuyin glanced at the hall and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you can sleep well tonight."

It's around twelve o'clock now. The hall has been turned over and all the private rooms upstairs are full. This is a good start.

Yang Caijie exhaled and smiled, "Yes, I can sleep well now."

“It’s really not easy to do anything.”

Although being a self-employed person can make money, the pressure is extremely high and not something most people can bear.

"By the way, sister-in-law, your elder brother and I estimate that it will take a few months for us to pay you back the money we owe you."

"Your eldest brother said he wanted to buy two refrigerators for the store, one in the front living room and one in the back kitchen."

Running a hotel is really expensive. In addition to the refrigerator, her husband also said that there should be two fans in the lobby and one fan in each private room upstairs.

Otherwise the guests will feel hot when eating in summer.

Although fans are not as expensive as refrigerators, there are ten private rooms upstairs, and each room has a fan, which adds up to about a thousand yuan.

They were planning how to spend their money before they even made any.

"Okay, don't worry, sister-in-law, you guys can use them first."

Lin Shuyin expressed her understanding that the investment in opening a hotel is more than that in a clothing store. For a clothing store, the investment is to purchase goods, while opening a hotel requires various investments.

Yang Caijie, "Is your clothing store doing well?"

Lin Shuyin smiled, "Very good."

They didn't talk much. The guests in the hall left and the two of them went to clean up the table. For the next month, Brother Shen and Sister-in-law Shen's restaurant business was as good as ever.

Yang Caijie and Shen Hebin feel that although opening a store to do business is risky, what can you do without risk? If you want to make money, you have to take risks.

Soon it was the Chinese New Year.

Sarin gave Lin Shuyin 10,000 yuan.

Lin Shuyin looked at her as if she were a ghost. "Are you crazy? Can't make ends meet? Why are you giving me so much money?"

She invested 2,000 yuan. Although they said that their store value has doubled and they can make a lot of money, they didn't give her 10,000 yuan! It was too much.

Sarin said seriously, "Shuyin, ten thousand is not much."

"Listen to me, our store makes about 4,000 yuan a month, at least 3,000 yuan. Look at this 10,000 yuan. If you withdraw your shares, I can earn it back in three months at most."

"The rest of the time, the profits are all mine."

"We opened this store together. You own half of everything, including the customers. Ten thousand is not enough for me."

Lin Shuyin said, "I know what you said, Sarin, but it doesn't count like that. I've withdrawn my shares now, so the money earned by the store in the future will have nothing to do with me."

"I'll take my two thousand."

Sarin, "No, two thousand is too little. You must take this ten thousand."

The two of them had a quarrel, and finally Lin Shuyin compromised and asked for five thousand.

"Saren, do you want to consider buying that shop? What if the landlord refuses to rent it one day?" Lin Shuyin suggested.

When Sarin heard this, he said, "Shuyin, you are right. I will talk to the landlord after the New Year."

Lin Shuyin, "Well, if it's not enough for you to buy a house, you can ask me for it."

Sarin, "Aren't you going to open a cosmetics store?"

Lin Shuyin patted her chest and said, "Your sister, I have money, enough for you."

"Okay, sister."

Sarin called me sister so smoothly.

Apart from the ten thousand, the only money left in the family is for purchasing goods. If I want to buy a shop, I will have to borrow money, otherwise it will not be enough.

During the Chinese New Year holiday, on the second day of the Chinese New Year, Shen Hebin and Yang Caijie went to the Yang family to pay New Year's greetings. Before that, they had quit their jobs at a state-owned hotel, and many people were not optimistic about them.

Among them were Yang's father and mother. They didn't understand what their daughter and son-in-law were thinking. They gave up their stable and respectable jobs to become self-employed.

But the hotel business was good after opening, so I won’t say anything more.

Yang's parents have no idea how much money the hotel makes, but they know how much money the clothing store makes.

Yang's mother found an opportunity to tell Yang Caijie, "If you two have enough money, give your sister two thousand and help her open a store, a clothing store."

Yang Caijie asked with a question mark on her face, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Yang's mother said, "Caiyun wants to open her own store. The clothing store makes hundreds of dollars a day, but how much does your sister earn a month? Forty-two dollars."

Yang Caijie, "Did Yang Caiyun ask you to tell me?"

Yang's mother said, "Your sister told us. She was too embarrassed to tell you and asked us to take the money. We don't have any money!"

Yang Caijie was angry, "Do you think it's that easy to open a store?"

"Do you know how much the initial investment for a clothing store is? Four thousand. Why would you open a store with only two thousand yuan?"

"Besides, we owe thousands to others, how can we lend her the money?"

Yang's mother asked, "How much do you owe?"
