Chapter 177 Going to the Provincial Capital to Open a Store
Opening a pre-prepared food store in the provincial capital? Shen Qingyue hadn't thought about this question before. But she was unexpectedly tempted.
He Zhengchen understood Shen Qingyue's thoughts and said, "Yes, let's go to the provincial capital."
He was originally from the provincial capital, had worked as a reporter and editor-in-chief, and was knowledgeable, but this small place, Siyun County, gave him a very novel feeling.
The people here are warm and generous, the factory is united, and even the village is comfortable and peaceful, it doesn't feel like the provincial capital at all.
Success made He Zhengchen's heart settle down here.
Even he felt this way, and others felt even more so. He Zhengchen wanted the people in the provincial capital to also feel the shock of a small county town!
Pre-prepared meals could teach all the chefs in the provincial capital a lesson, and he wasn't afraid to join in the fun. He even wanted to see that day come sooner rather than later.
Shen Qingyue thought about it and agreed: "Okay."
This might be a special attempt.
If two people were to open a store in the provincial capital, they would definitely have to choose a store manager.
Talked to Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu didn't expect that Sister Qingyue and Brother Zhengchen actually wanted to develop in the provincial capital. Wouldn't it be good to develop in the county?
However, as a young man, his heart was pounding when he heard about going far away.
Those who followed Shen Qingyue the earliest are now taking on the responsibility alone.
Sister Ying is now in charge of the county fruit shop, while Sister Chun Xing and Chef Li are in charge of the kitchen.
Sister Chen Mei went to raise pigs. She is currently working as a secretary for Shen Qingyue.
But this time Shen Qingyue said that if they went to the province to open a store, she would be responsible.
Jiang Yu was very tempted, but a trace of rationality still remained in her mind, telling her, "I have to go home and discuss this."
After all, she is her parents' only daughter, and her family has considerable influence in the county. If she lives in the county, even if she encounters problems, her family will be able to take care of it!
But it’s different if you go to the provincial capital, your family may not be at ease.
Shen Qingyue said, "Of course, you should discuss it with your family." She and He Zhengchen were going to the provincial capital soon. Since they were going to open a store.
The store, decoration, stocking, everything has to be started from scratch.
Shen Qingyue will be gone for at least a month, so Shen Xiu and Shen Panpan will be in charge of the affairs at home and in the county for the time being.
Shen Qingyue ordered the two of them to learn how to drive early in the morning.
Now our truck is running smoothly.
The men in the village were all puzzled when they saw this.
In the past, the village valued boys over girls, and women were not allowed to touch anything valuable, such as a tractor. It was said that women were not suitable for driving.
Now not only Shen Qingyue can drive, but her two younger sisters can drive very well too.
No one talks about those things anymore.
Shen Qingyue and He Zhengchen booked sleeper train tickets to the provincial capital. The rickety green train took six hours to travel!
Fortunately, the sleeper section was less crowded. It was quiet, and by the time he got off the train, he'd already walked a long way out of the platform, while the hard seat section hadn't finished getting off yet. Those carriages were packed like sardines in a can.
Arriving in the provincial capital, the weather was unbearably hot. He Zhengchen took Shen Qingyue to Central Street, the busiest street in the provincial capital.
As expected, the provincial capital is much more lively than a small county town.
The sounds of hawkers rang out one after another on the street. Various stalls lined the roadside, and some shops even openly played pop songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
There are all kinds of young people wearing bell-bottom pants and sunglasses on the street.
Their hair was sprayed with thick hairspray, imitating the Hong Kong and Taiwan stars in magazines.
He Zhengchen took Shen Qingyue to several restaurants. This area was all commercial, and the prices were high, but the food was mediocre. However, there were a few places selling specialty dim sum that were quite good.
Shen Qingyue walked around here twice. Although everything here was more prosperous than in the county, it was nothing in Shen Qingyue's eyes.
Then I started looking for a shop to open a store.
She wanted to choose a place on the street with a lot of traffic, spacious and bright, preferably about 200 square meters.
However, the shops in the provincial capital are not like those in the small county town. This is a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
Moreover, the shop owners in the provincial capital are well aware of the concept that a shop can be prosperous for three generations, and when asked, they only rent it and never sell it.
Their search was too inefficient, so He Zhengchen found a man named Xu who was wearing sunglasses and a bracelet.
He had some prestige in the area, being in the business of introducing properties. His fees were a bit higher, but his reputation was good, so it was better than going from house to house on his own.
When Uncle Xu heard their request, he realized they wanted a large space suitable for a restaurant, somewhere with a high customer base. It would be best if they could start decorating it right away and open it as soon as possible.
"Yes, I do. But the price is just this..."
Shen Qingyue said: "This can be studied."
When Uncle Xu heard this, he immediately took them to see a house. He had the keys to the house.
Uncle Xu introduced: "To be honest, this shop belongs to my childhood friend. It's large and well-located. It's not in operation at the moment, but they're in no hurry to sell it. They just want to get a good price."
He Zhengchen asked from the side: "How much is it?"
Uncle Xu said, "Fifty thousand, no bargaining."
Shen Qingyue gasped when she heard this. As expected of a provincial capital, the price of a shop is too high. A shop in the county would only cost two thousand five hundred or three thousand.
I thought that if it increased tenfold here, it would only be 20,000 or 30,000. I didn't expect it to increase twentyfold.
No wonder such a good location is not popular!
Money is cheap these days. Fifty thousand yuan can be used to start a big business. But such a large sum of money is just to buy a shop. In the minds of ordinary people, it is better to rent it. The rent is only twelve thousand yuan a year.
Uncle Xu said, "This shop was first offered 35,000 yuan but it was not sold. This shop is a good thing that will appreciate in value, and the price will continue to rise."
It's true. Locations like this are only going to get more expensive.
He Zhengchen said, "Make it cheaper. We'll buy it."
Uncle Xu said, "How about this, I won't give you a discount of a hundred or two hundred. I'll sell it for forty-eight thousand. I can decide the price myself."
He Zhengchen said, "Forty-five thousand, please. Give him a call. If you can sell it, I'll pay you today."
Uncle Xu was surprised. Forty-five thousand was not a small amount. He was able to decide on the house after the first viewing. This was a big client and he must not offend him.
Then he called his friend and said, "This house has been on the market for two years. Many people have asked about it, but few are willing to give a fair price."
As for the one that wanted to cut it in half, Uncle Xu refused it without even asking.
His friend asked for the lowest price of 46,000, which was close to 45,000, so it was worth making such a call.
Just after the call, Uncle Xu answered the phone a while later. He mumbled for a long time and finally said, "The landlord agreed."
