"Why don't you just sign for me? Sometimes I'm not here, so they sign with the market. It's reasonable for the market to pay me. It saves trouble. I'll pay you for your hard work, hehe."
Lin Tian smiled and said, "Okay, Boss Xiang is always straightforward, but is the rent paid monthly or annually? If it's annual, many people may not be able to afford it, so the rent will be paid slower."
"It's fine to pay monthly, or a yearly payment, and the first month's rent will be waived. Let them choose."
Li You's eyes widened: "Sister, why are you giving people the first month's rent for free?"
"That's easy. People don't know whether the business will make money, so they don't dare to start. I waived the rent for the first month and let him move in and start his business. If he makes money in a month, he won't hesitate anymore.
If I pay a year's rent at a time, I can get my money back quickly."
"Okay, then the first month's rent is free, and the second month's rent is paid directly for a year. What if I don't pay the second month's rent, and it's considered a breach of contract? What then?"
"If you breach the contract, you have to pay compensation, two months' rent."
"Sister, you are so cruel." Li You said.
His sister is a tough character. When she is generous, she will waive one month's rent, but when she is tough, she will compensate me for three months' rent.
I heard that the first month’s rent is free, so many people who were interested came to rent. If the business is good, this will save one month’s rent, and it will be like this every year in the future!
Only a fool would pay twenty dollars a month.
But there are also fools who are cautious and rent for one month first and then pay compensation of only twenty yuan, which is better than those impulsive people paying two months' rent.
Anyway, on that day alone, more than 30 storefronts facing south were rented out.
Xiangnan sat in front of his door, enjoying the electric fan and ice cream. He felt very comfortable. "Chen Xin, do you think anyone would buy this ice cream at 50 cents a stick?"
"Of course someone will buy it. I'd even buy it and eat it. It's so much better than a five-cent popsicle."
A popsicle that costs five cents tastes like saccharin, and if you add some mung beans it costs ten cents.
Xiangnan’s ice cream contains milk and grapes, and it is soft when you bite it, not like a popsicle that’s hard to chew.
"Then we'll just keep it in the shop and sell it. I'll go back to the shop first and prepare the cake shop in the afternoon."
Two employees were found. Lin Tian’s aunt was a skilled craftsman, and it was obvious that she did a lot of handicrafts at home.
Xia Wanshu is a foodie and is very passionate about food, so he will definitely study hard.
Cakes and ice cream are sold together.
Xiangnan asked the Huo brothers to clean up the storefront and tidy up the guest rooms where they would stay.
She took Li You to the government compound to find the wife of the county magistrate and the wife of the Finance Bureau.
These two are her high-end custom clients.
She brought all the fabrics and designs.
When she arrived at the government compound, the guard stopped her and said, "You can't just come in here. Go away."
Xiangnan smiled and said, "The wife of the county magistrate asked me to come here. Why don't you give her a call and ask?"
The message room has a telephone for every household, and telephones in government compounds are standard.
Seeing that Xiangnan was well-dressed and smiling, the guard didn't want to make things difficult for him. He went into the message room and made a phone call, but no one answered the phone at the county magistrate's wife's house.
"Sir, can you please help me unplug the Finance Director's wife's phone? I can see her, too."
The old man glanced at her, found the phone number of the Finance Director's home on the paper on the wall and dialed it. After a few rings, no one answered.
Xiangnan apologized, "It seems I came at a bad time today. They are not at home."
"They often play mahjong together. They might be playing at someone's house," said the old man.
"Then I'll wait until they're home before coming. Or, if you see the county magistrate's wife, tell her that Xiangnan is here to see her. I'm in the store, and ask her to come see me when she's free, okay?"
Xiangnan took out fifty cents and put it on the table in the reception room: "Uncle, take this and have a pack of cigarettes. Please."
Xiangnan left after he finished speaking. When he walked outside, he met Yang Xiao driving back. He rolled down the window and said, "Xiangnan, why are you here? Are you looking for me?"
"Looking for Madam Jiang. Her high-end custom-made clothes have been designed and brought to her for selection. I called the reception desk, but neither your mother nor Madam Jiang is home."
"They should be playing cards at Aunt Huang's house. Come up and I'll take you to them."
Xiangnan got into the car happily: "Luckily I met you, otherwise I would have made a wasted trip today."
Yang Xiao smiled and said, "If you can't find my mom, you can go find me at the Finance Bureau. Didn't I agree to treat you to lunch at noon?"
"I met you before I had time to think."
Yang Xiao drove the car into the compound. The old man in the reception room glanced at Xiangnan sitting in the car and said with a smile: "Chief Yang, this is your friend."
"My sister, if she comes to see me next time, just let her in." Yang Xiao instructed.
"well."
The old man looked at Xiangnan entering the compound with a gossipy look on his face, wondering if this could be Yang Xiao's girlfriend.
Oh, all the little girls in this yard are heartbroken.
Yang Xiao parked the car and took Xiangnan to Mrs. Huang's house. The government compound was not as good as their countryside where they could drive directly to the doorstep.
Yang Xiao stood outside the yard and called out, "Auntie Huang, is my mom playing mahjong at your house?"
"I'm here, come in. We haven't even reached the restaurant yet, why are you back?"
"Xiangnan is looking for you, and Aunt Min is here too. That's perfect, the design Xiangnan drew is out, take a look."
"Stinky boy, can't you see we are playing cards? Wait a moment."
Xiangnan followed behind and poked his head out: "Madam, don't you want to see what kind of clothes I designed and what the fabric I dyed looks like?"
The county magistrate's wife quickly pushed the cards aside and said, "We can play cards every day. Let's take a look at the clothes first. Xiangnan, what colors of fabric have you dyed?"
