Chapter 399 Only a Fool Would Not Answer
The three of them talked in detail about opening a clothing store. They were partners, with Yu Hui as the initiator, backbone and future chief designer. Yu Hui owned 40%, while Gu Hongmei and Bai Chunhua each owned 30%.
After they formed a partnership, they no longer added new partners. With fewer partners, things would be simpler.
The first step to opening a clothing store is to find a storefront.
After finding a store, I went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to apply for a business license, then bought a sewing machine, designed clothing patterns and made them. After making some clothes, I finally found a good day to open the store.
As for how much money each person will invest, we’ll decide after we find a store.
Bai Chunhua stayed at Gu's house until 4:30 in the afternoon before returning home. She happened to meet Qian Lan who was going out to work the night shift, and the two greeted each other.
The noodle shop business in March was better than the two months before the Chinese New Year, and Qian Lan got 190 yuan.
Qian Lan counted the money happily, "If only business was this good every month, I could earn back the money I gave to Yu Qiang's brother to buy a job in just three months."
"Actually, you can earn it back in just one month." Yu Hui blurted out.
Qian Lan's eyes lit up, "How do I earn money?"
Yu Hui looked at her and said, "You take over the entire Happy Noodle House."
"Take it all?" Qian Lan was a little confused. "I take it alone?"
Yu Hui nodded.
"What about you?" Qian Lan looked at her and Gu Hongmei.
Yu Hui rested her chin on her hand and said, "We want to do some other business."
"What business?" Qian Lan asked.
Yu Hui said truthfully: "Open a clothing store."
"Open a clothing store. It's more profitable than a noodle shop, and it's cleaner too." No need for smoke or fire.
Qian Lan never thought that one day Yu Hui would abandon her to do other business, and she felt a little lost.
In fact, it would definitely be good for her to take over the noodle shop. That way, no matter how much the noodle shop earns, it will all be hers and she won't have to share it with others.
But the noodle shop is so profitable, it is definitely not possible for her to take over the noodle shop without paying anything.
"Then how much money should I give you?" Qian Lan asked.
Yu Hui thought for a moment and made the sign eight. "Eight hundred, eight hundred yuan and I'll transfer the noodle shop to you. I'll also write down the recipe and ingredients for the noodles and give them to you."
Eight hundred yuan is half of what she earns in a month, which is not much.
Qian Lan also knew that it was not much, but she didn't have it at the moment. Moreover, if she took it over, Xiao Yu and Gu Hongmei would quit, and she would have to find someone to help her. She would definitely not consider her mother, her brother, and her sister-in-law.
So she still needs to go home and discuss this matter with Yu Qiang.
Yu Hui asked her to discuss and consider it slowly and not to be in a hurry.
After returning home, Qian Lan discussed the matter with Yu Qiang.
"We have to accept it." Yu Qiang said loudly. As long as they give 800 yuan, this noodle shop will be theirs. Only a fool would not accept it.
I can earn back this little money in just one month.
Qian Lan: "But our family doesn't have that much money right now."
Yu Qiang frowned and thought for a moment, "I'll get a six-month salary advance, and with the money we have on hand, it should be enough for eight hundred."
"Who should I ask for help? I definitely can't handle it all by myself." Three people are definitely not needed. Only one or two people will be needed to work together from morning to night.
Yu Qiang thought carefully about his relatives, looked at Qian Lan and asked, "Do you still remember that I have a distant cousin in Yucheng?"
Qian Lan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Remember, the one who married a disabled man? We even went to meet our relatives when we first came to Yucheng."
But we weren't very close relatives. I visited him once and we didn't have much contact after that.
"My distant cousin is unemployed, isn't she? Her husband's legs are paralyzed, and the family lives a very difficult life. They rely on making paper boxes to earn a little money for food. I think you can ask my cousin to help out. You can pay her fifteen or twenty yuan a month. She will be very grateful to you."
His cousin was also a strange person. She wanted to be a city dweller, so she married a disabled man with paralyzed legs.
The man did become a city dweller, but his family was not well off. His father worked in a bowl factory and earned a salary, so they lived a difficult and tight life.
"That's right." Qian Lan put her palms together, "Your distant cousin lives in the city now and doesn't keep in touch with those people in your hometown. If she comes to help us, those people in your family won't know that we're making money running a noodle shop."
This is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Yu Qiang: “…”
Qian Lan slapped her thigh and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. You can go and get your salary advance tomorrow."
The next day, Yu Qiang received an advance on his salary. Qian Lan pooled the money she had and gave Yu Hui eight hundred yuan.
Yu Hui divided the money she earned in April, gave Qian Lan the recipe, and took her to make noodles and chili oil several times. She also took advantage of the afternoon break with Qian Lan to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to change the business license.
The noodle shop was completely handed over to Qian Lan. Since the helper had not arrived yet, Qian Lan asked Gu Hongmei to help her for another two days and pay her salary.
The Happy Noodle House quickly changed its boss. When the military families heard that Yu Hui had transferred the noodle house to Qian Lan, they were extremely envious and asked Qian Lan if she wanted to be a partner, but Qian Lan politely declined.
The noodle shop was closed on Saturday, so Qian Lan and Yu Qiang went to see the distant cousin together. When the cousin heard that they wanted her to help out in the noodle shop with a salary of 15 yuan a month, she agreed without thinking.
But because the bus commuting was expensive and her family didn't have a bicycle, she had to eat and sleep at Qian Lan's house during her work days.
That day, I followed Qian Lan and his wife back to the military family compound so that I could go to work early the next morning.
Without having to go to work, Yu Hui stayed at home comfortably for a few days and made delicious green rice dumplings for the children.
We also sent some to the homes of Division Commander Zhan, Teacher Li, and Political Commissar Gao, and received cookies and malted milk as gifts in return.
The children are very happy that Yu Hui doesn’t have to go to work, because not only can they eat more delicious food made by their mother, but they also have their mother to play with them.
After being lazy at home for a few days, Yu Hui went to the city to find Bai Chunhua to look after the shop together.
Gu Hongmei didn't go with them because she had to stay at home to look after the children.
You have to walk back and forth to visit the shops, which is inconvenient with children.
The two first looked at the street with the busiest state-owned stores, but this area was full of state-owned stores, business was very good, and there were no empty shops.
After strolling around for the whole morning, the two were tired and found a state-owned restaurant to eat.
Bai Chunhua drank a glass of water, exhaled, and said, "I didn't expect that finding a shop would be so tiring."
"Yeah, my legs are sore from walking." Yu Hui pressed her calf. "I think this street is hopeless. Let's go to the street behind."
"Okay." Bai Chunhua nodded and found that there was a man wearing glasses sitting next to her. He looked very gentle and was secretly looking at Yu Hui.
She frowned and whispered to Yu Hui, "Xiao Hui, a man at the table next to you on the right has been peeking at you."
Peeping at me?
Am I so beautiful that men would peek at me when I go out?
Yu Hui frowned and turned her head, and her eyes met with the other person's.
The man had a 3:7 split hairstyle, thick and fluffy hair, and wore a white Dacron shirt with a vest on the outside.
He has a high nose bridge, round eyes, fair complexion, and looks very gentle.
After the man made eye contact with her, he was obviously stunned, then quickly lowered his eyelids, looking embarrassed and ashamed as if he had been caught.
Yu Hui looked away and heard Bai Chunhua say, "Here he comes, here he comes."
Yu Hui: “?”
He even came over here. He is quite brave.
"You, you are Comrade Xiaohui, right?" the young man asked with joy in his tone.
"Do you recognize me?" Yu Hui asked.
Could this be a fan who saw her in the newspaper and recognized her?
