Qin Zheng naturally wouldn't object to Ye Yun starting a business in the county town. He knew Ye Yun was someone who couldn't sit still, and having something to do would actually make her happier.
However, he didn't want Ye Yun to be so tired.
After listening to Ye Yun's plan, he learned that Ye Yun wanted to take over the store directly this time, so he suggested: "I think you can find a helper. It will definitely be hard to get the store up and running in the early stages. How about I contact my family and ask Tian Xiaohui to come over? Tian Xiaohui can help you in the early stages, and later, when the business is doing well, you can let Tian Xiaohui continue to work if you want, or you can find someone else and you can be a hands-off manager. Is that okay?"
Ye Yun thought he made sense. "Do you know the village's phone number?"
"Know."
Qin Zheng said.
If he doesn't even know the phone number of his own brigade, wouldn't that be incredibly irresponsible?
Ye Yun agreed to his suggestion. Although she could manage on her own, it would be good to have another person.
Let's get right to it.
Ye Yun told Qin Zheng to remember to call home and contact Tian Xiaohui, while she went out the next day to check on the business situation on the street.
If you're looking to buy a shop, location and position will be the most important factors.
After looking around, Ye Yun decided to open a small shop on a commercial street near the middle school. The commercial street is bordered by schools and residential areas, so it has customers from both schools and residents, making it a good location.
But as Ye Yun walked along, she didn't see any shops for rent.
Everyone's business is booming. After all, it's a county town, and people's economy is gradually improving. Whether they earn a lot or a little, they're all making money, so naturally they won't transfer their shops there.
It wasn't until I reached a corner that I saw a few deserted counters.
Ye Yun saw the phone number on it, took out a pen and paper and secretly wrote it down. A woman selling clothes next to her saw that she seemed to be looking to rent a storefront and kindly said, "Young lady, if you want to do business, you'd better not rent here. It's so remote, you won't make any money here."
ah?
Ye Yun looked at the older woman with surprise and confusion.
The older woman sighed, took a bite of the dry food in her hand, casually drank some cold water from her enamel cup, shook her head at Ye Yun, and went back into the house.
Another girl eager to do business; she might fall for the same trick as her.
She was eager to start a business and thought she could find a shop in the commercial street. As long as she had a place, no matter how good or bad it was, she could make some money, right?
However, reality slapped her in the face; no one came to this remote place at all.
People have already bought everything they need, so who would waste time and energy running to the back? Everyone is busy, and time is precious!
Ye Yun understood what her eldest sister meant.
She looked up and surveyed the area. The place she was in was at the very end of the commercial street, and it was a dead end, which was why it was so deserted.
If she remembered correctly, there was a residential area behind the dead end.
What if we could open up this dead end?
However, this idea was quickly rejected because she discovered that half of the dead end blocking her way was the back wall of a house, which could not be demolished.
Then it's fine to tear it in half.
Ye Yun politely thanked the woman, then walked around the commercial street to the back of the dead-end alley she had just been looking at.
As she walked over, she bumped into a few mischievous boys, around eight or nine years old, trying to climb over the wall to get to the shopping street.
"Hey! Danger!"
Ye Yun called out.
A mischievous boy who had just climbed onto the wall looked up at him, his face full of the liveliness of his age, and asked in a cheerful, crisp voice, "Who are you?"
"I was just passing by."
Ye Yun smiled and waved to the mischievous boy on the wall, saying with a smile, "Come down, I have something to ask you, and I'll buy you candy after I'm done."
As soon as the mischievous boy heard there was candy, he scurried down the debris like a monkey.
"What's up?"
He led a few friends, and the mischievous boys ran up to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun patted his shoulder kindly, pointed to the wall opposite, and asked, "Do you want to break through this wall?"
"Yes, I do!"
The little rascal nodded quickly. Every time they went to the shopping street, they had to climb over the wall, or walk a long way around!
"Whose wall is this?"
"I don't know. My mom said it was blocked by the government. We've wanted to cancel it for a long time, but the government won't let us. They said we'd be fined if we did!" the brat shouted.
Children speak without restraint, yet they are also the ones who can best see through the whole matter.
Was it caused by government vehicles blocking the road?
Ye Yun understood. She counted the group of people and gave the leader, a mischievous boy, five cents, so he could take his friends to buy candy.
The boy thanked her and led his friends over the wall into the commercial street.
Ye Yun found a shop, dialed the number on the shop using a landline, inquired about the rent, and paid a deposit. After that, she asked for the phone number of the pedestrian street and dialed it.
The urban area is not well-developed yet, and walls like this are still under the jurisdiction of the commercial street management.
However, when she dialed the number, the moment she mentioned the issue of removing the wall and changing the entrance in the commercial street, the tone on the other end suddenly became harsh: "It's no use telling me this. We didn't block this wall in the first place. It was the residents who kept causing trouble, insisting that our commercial street was affecting their lives and demanding that we pay them money before they would let people pass. Otherwise, they would keep coming here to make trouble, so we had no choice but to block it! Okay, stop calling!"
Ye Yun understood.
In other words, the commercial street had intentionally left a small door here, but after residents reported it, they had no choice but to seal it up.
Now that we've found the cause, we're sure we can find a solution.
She was determined to get that shop. If that wall could be turned into a door, the residential area behind it would become the main source of her mung bean cake sales!
That evening, Ye Yun mentioned the matter to Qin Zheng after returning home.
Gu Jin happened to be there too.
Qin Zheng said, "If that place doesn't work out, we'll find another one. There's no need to go to such lengths for this place, especially since you're not feeling well right now."
Ye Yun nodded. "I know. If it doesn't work, I won't do it."
Gu Jin leaned back in her chair, nonchalantly saying, "Why go through all this trouble? A commercial street is a form of development; on a larger scale, it's part of urban and national development. If anyone dares to cause trouble or restrict development, just arrest them, right?"
Qin Zheng glanced at him indifferently.
This approach is clearly not approved.
Ye Yun laughed and said, "That's a last resort for you. It's better to avoid trouble. Unless you're in a desperate situation, there's no need to do this. Besides, I don't necessarily need to rent this place."
"Well... how about this?"
Gu Jin rubbed his forehead and suddenly gave her a meaningful look.
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow. "Go on."
Gu Jin: "My relatives have a house near the middle school, which is perfect for a shop, but they don't like running a shop, so the house has been vacant. How about I have them rent the house to you and you can take care of it?"
Oh?
Ye Yun's heart stirred slightly. Could such a good thing really fall from the sky?
