"The other three companies are unwilling to sell their shops; they are only willing to lease them, and the lease price for each shop is slightly higher than the lease price for shops in Makino City."
Xu Qingyi reported, and Lin Yifeng nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
"Let's secure these seven shops first. We're not in a hurry for the other three. Let's talk to the shops next to them first."
"It would be best if we could buy the shop first, so that we don't end up raising the rent after we've finished decorating and see that we're making money!"
Lin Yifeng didn't explain much, letting Xu Qingyi continue talking to the surrounding shops.
He didn't have the money before, so he couldn't just take out ten or twenty thousand yuan to buy so many shops in Makino City.
But now!
With millions in cash at his disposal, Lin Yifeng was naturally very extravagant.
He doesn't rent shops at all, he only buys them. If you're not going to sell, fine, I'll find someone else!
In 1992, only Hainan Island had expensive housing prices, while housing prices in other places were negligible!
Taking advantage of the relatively low housing prices now, Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream shops are all about buying.
If we wait until 20 years later, when a shop costs 400,000 to 500,000, Lin Yifeng estimates that he won't be able to afford it.
In the evening, the four of them took a short stroll around Shanyang City.
Shanyang City is a city with mineral resources. It is close to Shanxi Province, and some of its lifestyle habits and accents are similar to those of Shanxi Province.
so....
The resources of Shanyang City are very similar to those of Jin Province, both being coal.
Lin Yifeng was assigned to Zhaogu No. 2 Mine after graduating from vocational school, while some of his classmates were assigned to Jiao Coal No. 1 Mine.
The No. 1 Coking Coal Mine is located in Shanxi Province. It is a large mine, and many of Lin Yifeng's classmates hoped that they could be assigned to the No. 1 Coking Coal Mine in Shanyang City.
Lin Yifeng's classmate, there was such a lucky one, his name was Wu Ci.
Wu Ci, the name sounds exactly the same as the fifth pronunciation. Lin Yifeng's classmates like to call Wu Ci Chiwu or Lao Niao.
The veterans are already at work.
In fact, most students at Hebei Vocational University, except for those who become teachers, have already started working.
After all, it's already the end of August, and almost three months have passed since Lin Yifeng and his classmates graduated.
Half a year has passed since Lin Yifeng was reborn.
Veteran, at the No. 1 Coking Coal Mine, is a surveyor.
His salary is not low; even in the current poor economic climate, he earns more than 150 yuan a month.
It's 30 yuan more than teachers like Lin Yifeng.
The veteran was quite satisfied with his work. When he met Lin Yifeng and Guo Fengsheng the next day, his face was full of youthful vigor and righteousness.
The veteran has indeed been acting like a spirited young man lately.
He was very enthusiastic when he met Lin Yifeng and Guo Fengsheng.
"I didn't expect the two of you to actually come to Shanyang City!"
"Come, come, let me show you around the No. 1 Coking Coal Mine, and while I'm at it, I'll show you my working environment!"
The old bird wore glasses, the kind with very old-fashioned round lenses. This style was not suitable for 1992, but it is still occasionally popular in 2025.
The veteran wanted to show Lin Yifeng and Guo Fengsheng around the No. 1 Coking Coal Mine, but Lin Yifeng just smiled and didn't say anything. Guo Fengsheng stepped forward and politely declined the veteran's suggestion:
"Old bird, we're a bit rushed to Shanyang City today!"
"We won't accompany you to tour your workplace. We're here today to have a meal and some drinks with you."
Lin Yifeng and Guo Fengsheng came to see Lao Niao not only to meet with their classmates, but also to see if Lao Niao could recommend a capable person to be the store manager of Wallace in Shanyang City.
The so-called capable people are actually just vocational school graduates who have some education. If the veteran can recommend someone, that would be ideal; if not, it's okay, since the two of them are just passing through Shanyang City and will check out the veteran on the side.
"Eating and drinking?"
"Oh no, this won't work!"
Upon hearing this, the veteran quickly waved his hand and said, "If I were still in school, I would definitely have dinner and drinks with you guys."
But this place won't work."
The old man scratched his messy hair: "Drinking is not allowed at the No. 1 Coking Coal Mine, and I can't go out with you guys during work hours."
"What about tonight? We'll be staying in Shanyang City for another day. Come out tonight, and we'll have dinner and drinks together?"
Guo Fengsheng suggested that although it is indeed working hours now and it is not suitable for experienced people to go out, it is not a big problem as long as they can go out at night.
The veteran still refused Guo Fengsheng's suggestion, shaking his head and saying, "I can't go. I'm in charge of security at my unit tonight, so I can't go out at all."
It was a bit of a pity that Lao Niao couldn't go out. Lin Yifeng and Guo Fengsheng chatted briefly with Lao Niao at the entrance of his workplace. When they parted, Lao Niao suddenly asked a question.
"Old Guo, Old Lin."
"You two came to see me not just to chat, right?"
"If there's anything else, you two can just say it."
"Although I haven't been in Shanyang City for long, I'm somewhat familiar with it. If there's anything I can do to help you, I will!"
Lin Yifeng and Guo Fengsheng exchanged glances. After thinking for a moment, Lin Yifeng said:
"Hey old bird, do you know Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream?"
Lao Niao, Lin Yifeng, and Guo Fengsheng were classmates, but not roommates.
For vocational school students and university students, the relationship between those living in the same dormitory is naturally better than that between classmates.
