The following afternoon.
On his way back after completing the house purchase procedures, Chen Dong received a call from Ma Guoliang.
Over the phone, Ma Guoliang told Chen Dong that the other party had agreed to their conditions.
The shop has two floors, with a total area of 8,556.6 square meters.
If Chen Dong can pay in full at once, the price will be 2,800 yuan per square meter, with a 4% discount on top of that.
That adds up to 23 million RMB.
In addition, there are taxes, renovation costs, elevators, central air conditioning, and other equipment and personnel wages.
This doesn't even include the cost of stockpiling goods. If we were to calculate everything, the total budget would probably reach 40 million RMB.
It's not that Chen Dong couldn't come up with 40 million RMB, but rather that there was no need for it.
To become a capital tycoon, one must learn to leverage external forces.
"I understand. Have them prepare the contract. I'll sign it tomorrow."
After saying that, Chen Dong hung up the phone.
These days, getting a signal on a mobile phone is a problem.
For this reason, manufacturers subconsciously increased the call volume of the mobile phones during the manufacturing process.
Inside the car.
Everyone gasped.
Chen Xuelin asked incredulously, "Dongzi, you were talking about a supermarket on the phone just now, right?"
"yes!"
"You and Mom both agreed to this, so is there a problem?"
Glug!
Upon receiving Chen Dong's affirmative answer, Chen Xuelin swallowed hard.
His major was geology, and he was naturally very sensitive to numbers.
Especially when I heard that it was 8,500 square meters.
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
This was completely different from what Chen Xuelin had expected.
He originally thought that a space of one or two hundred square meters would be the best he could get.
Who would have thought that opening a supermarket would require more than 8,500 square meters?
Is this still a supermarket?
Even shopping malls aren't this big!
These things were completely beyond Chen Xuelin's understanding of supermarkets.
Moreover, another problem lay before Chen Xuelin and Xiao Xinyi.
Can they manage such a large supermarket?
I'm afraid we'd need several hundred people just to hire supermarket staff, right?
Thinking about all this, Chen Xuelin didn't care about anything else and poured out all his worries in front of everyone.
"Dongzi, since the contract hasn't been signed yet, why don't you think about it some more?"
"It's not that Dad is unwilling, but what am I supposed to do with such a large supermarket?"
"If there's a loss, wouldn't you be throwing money down the drain?"
"In my opinion, if we scale down the size, a supermarket of one or two hundred square meters would be quite large."
Upon hearing this...
Chen Dong grinned and said.
"Dad, it's not as serious as you think. We've entered the technological age now. Who still uses their brain to remember prices? So we don't need too many employees."
"Also, you and Mom don't need to worry about management. I'll have Manager Ma find an experienced manager to be in charge of the supermarket's external operations."
"You two shouldn't take these things too seriously. It doesn't matter whether the supermarket makes money or not. The important thing is that you and Mom don't feel bored with life."
After he finished speaking...
Everyone stared in disbelief.
So, Chen Dong, you're just playing around with opening a supermarket?
An 8,500-square-meter supermarket is worth tens of millions of yuan. You're really not taking it seriously.
How could someone say something like that?
Lin Zhiyuan felt a pang of envy.
His brother-in-law is truly impeccable in his treatment of his family.
Tens of millions can be spent without batting an eye.
Even he, as the brother-in-law, benefited a lot from it.
If it were him, he probably wouldn't have had the courage.
As they were talking, the car slowly pulled up in front of the hotel.
The driver turned his head and said.
"Boss, we've arrived at the hotel."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong smiled and said.
"Alright, we've arrived at the hotel. You guys go up and rest for a while. I have some other things to take care of here."
"Take care of yourself."
After struggling for a long time, Xiao Xinyi finally managed to utter this sentence.
Because she simply couldn't think of a way to care for her son.
"Mom, I understand. You don't need to wait for me for lunch this afternoon. I'll probably be back in the evening. You can eat whatever you want."
Xiao Xinyi nodded and didn't say anything more.
Chen Dong is good in every way, except he doesn't value money enough.
Chen Nan and Lin Zhiyuan waved their hands, their words conveying everything without being spoken.
At this moment.
Hua Zi looked around and said.
"Brother Dong, I won't go to the hotel. I'll come with you instead."
Chen Dong nodded. Hua Zi was his friend, not his parents' friend, so it was normal for him to react this way.
"Okay, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
"Thank you, Brother Dong!"
Hua Zi smiled shyly upon hearing this.
After the car doors were closed, the car started moving again.
Inside the car.
Hua Zi composed himself and spoke with genuine emotion.
"Brother Dong, thank you. I will pay you back the money for the house."
"Don't mention it."
Chen Dong chuckled awkwardly, patted Hua Zi's arm, and said.
"Don't worry about the money. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. When I go to Yanjing this time, I will also buy houses for Fei Ge, A Long, and A Hu."
"The current housing prices are still very cheap. Buying one is a sure way to make a profit. In a few years, it will be difficult to buy a house with this amount of money."
Hua Zi nodded in deep agreement.
