Chapter 451
"I'm not rich enough to open a shop to solve my work problem." Ye Fuyue continued, "I just thought that since I have the ability to design furniture and Chen Shun has carpentry skills, there are not many furniture shops like this right now, so we should open a furniture shop and make more money. A shop we buy now will definitely be more valuable in the future."
"Also, I plan to do the same as with the steamed bun shop. I will only be responsible for the early operations of the furniture shop and provide furniture designs. Once the furniture shop is on track, I will be a hands-off manager, with less involvement and only taking a portion of the profits as dividends. This way, even if I run both the steamed bun shop and the furniture shop at the same time, and still have to go to school and take care of my family, I will still be able to handle it."
After listening to Ye Fuyue's detailed plan, Shen Yao said: "Okay. However, with Shen Shun's ability, he probably can't help you run the furniture store. You have to find someone else."
Ye Fuyue laughed and said, "I already have a suitable candidate in mind. Let's go look at houses tomorrow and decide on the shop."
Chen Yao was puzzled: "Shouldn't you decide on the right people first and then look at the shop? What if you can't find the right people to help you run the furniture store? Will you run it yourself?"
"It doesn't matter if I can't find someone to run the business with me. I won't open the furniture store for the time being. I'll just leave the store there for now. At least I won't lose money." Ye Fuyue said.
Chen Yao nodded: "That's fine. Do you have a shop you're interested in?"
Ye Fuyue chuckled and said, "Yes, I've had my eye on that shop for a long time, just waiting for the owner to sell it."
The shop that Ye Fuyue had her eyes on was not far from the bun shop and had a very good location. Even if she didn't use it to open a furniture store, it would appreciate in value in the future if she kept it.
Just like when she first bought the bun shop, there were several families living inside.
Ye Fuyue had never actually been inside the shop, but sometimes when she returned home, the door of the shop was open, and Ye Fuyue would peek inside secretly. She estimated that the area was larger than her current bun shop.
She hadn't had any interest in the house until she recently heard the owner was looking to sell it. However, due to the large and mixed population living there, no one was willing to buy. The landlord had already lowered the price several times, but still, few buyers were interested.
Ye Fuyue was not surprised by this.
Not to mention the large number of tenants living there, getting them to move out is a major issue. Furthermore, people nowadays believe that a house is enough to live in, and there is no need to buy a new one. Furthermore, not many people can afford to spend a few thousand dollars on a house.
But these problems weren't a problem for Ye Fuyue. First, after years of saving and earning from selling steamed buns and drawing furniture designs, she wasn't short of money. Second, after the experience of having to evict tenants the last time she bought a house, she was now well-versed in how to get rid of them.
So the next day, Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao went to see the landlord together.
Seeing that someone was finally interested in his house, the landlord didn't mention how difficult the current tenants were, nor did he quote a price, hoping to sell the house quickly.
Ye Fuyue pretended to lower the price and quickly reached an agreement with the landlord.
The landlord was even more anxious than she was. As soon as they agreed on the price, he hurriedly took Ye Fuyue to go through the transfer procedures, as if he was afraid that she would go back on her word.
Ye Fuyue reluctantly followed the landlord to go through the transfer procedures.
After completing the formalities and collecting the money, the landlord ran away.
Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao looked at each other, and Li Ma understood and went to find the man in the gray shirt.
Just as the man in the gray shirt and his five companions were performing a scam in the house, Ye Fuyue went to find Tian Hao.
She went to Wu Zhenzhen's house carrying six eggs.
Wu Zhenzhen had returned from the hospital a long time ago and was currently recuperating after giving birth.
Ye Fuyue glanced at the baby sleeping in the cradle from a distance, talked to Wu Zhenzhen for a while, and then went out of the room with Tian Hao to discuss something.
"I'm planning to open a furniture shop. I'll draw the furniture designs and then have someone print them out for sale. I've always thought your furniture craftsmanship is excellent. Do you want to be my partner? I'll draw the furniture designs, and you'll lead the people making and selling the furniture. After deducting the costs from the sales, the profits will be split 30% and 70% for you."
Tian Hao was completely stunned. He didn't expect that Ye Fuyue wanted to talk to him about this kind of thing.
Ye Fuyue continued, "I know you're doing well at the Xiangyang Furniture Factory and your salary is stable. You know my ability to design furniture. If you open a furniture store with me, you can earn much more than you do now."
Tian Hao was very hesitant.
He naturally knew how well the furniture designed by Ye Fuyue sold. It could be said that Xiangyang Furniture Factory was revived thanks to the furniture designed by Ye Fuyue.
But his current job is very stable after all, it's a iron rice bowl. As long as he continues to work at Xiangyang Furniture Factory, he won't have to worry about his life.
He worked with Ye Fuyue, believing he could earn more. However, no one could predict the future. If Ye Fuyue's furniture shop failed, he would be out of work. How could a man support his family without a job?
Seeing Tian Hao's hesitation, Ye Fuyue said, "You don't have to answer me right now. You can think about it. When you've made up your mind, whether you want to do it or not, let me know."
"Take your time to think about it. I'll go back first." Ye Fuyue said.
Aunt Wu saw that she was about to leave and came out to say to her, "Have dinner before you leave. I'm already cooking."
"No need," Ye Fuyue said with a smile, "The children are waiting for me to come back."
Aunt Wu didn't insist anymore and sent Ye Fuyue out.
After sending Ye Fuyue back, Aunt Wu saw Tian Hao still sitting in the same seat thinking about something.
Aunt Wu heard what Ye Fuyue said to him, but this was, after all, Tian Hao's own business and that of his and Wu Zhenzhen's family. Aunt Wu pretended not to know about it and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Tian Hao thought for a long time, but couldn't make up his mind, so he got up and went back to his room.
Wu Zhenzhen was holding the baby in bed and feeding him. When she saw him come in, she asked, "Is Fu Yue gone?"
"Okay, let's go back." Tian Hao sat down on the edge of the bed.
"What did she say to you?" Wu Zhenzhen asked.
She vaguely heard Ye Fuyue and Tian Hao talking in the room, but she couldn't hear it clearly and didn't know what Ye Fuyue and Tian Hao were talking about specifically.
Tian Hao told Wu Zhenzhen everything.
After hearing this, Wu Zhenzhen said excitedly, "Opening a furniture shop with Fu Yue is great! You know how well the furniture Fu Yue paints sells. She doesn't even need you to put up any money upfront. All she needs is for you to make the furniture, bring in the staff, and run the shop with her. Then she'll give you 30% of the profits. If Fu Yue didn't really appreciate your craftsmanship, such a great opportunity would never have come your way."
