After the Lunar New Year, Yu Zihan and his friends faced the start of school. After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Zihan began preparing to open the shop. The first thing he faced was choosing a location.
Yu Zihan set her sights on her mother. She approached her mother and said, "Mom, I remember grandma gave you the deeds to several shops."
"Yes, why do you want to use it? If you want to use it, just take it back. I heard from your grandmother that these shops are long-term tenants, and they all transfer the rent to my account on time. So I haven't paid attention to it." After Yu Meijuan finished speaking, she took out the title deed and stuffed it into Yu Zihan's hand.
"Take a look at the locations of these shops, and we'll take over any that strike your fancy. I also told you to wait until you have time to look at these shops. While you're choosing, you can check out their situations for me and see if any of their leases have expired and been renewed. I'll leave all this to you. Mom is very confident in your ability to work."
Yu Meijuan suddenly became excited at the thought of these shops. "Mom, it's been so long, and you haven't even visited these shops?" Yu Zihan admired this trait of her mother. Even after all the hardship she'd endured, her whiny nature hadn't diminished.
Well, now that my mother has a happy family and a fulfilling life, why would she need to worry about making money? "They can't run away if they're just sitting there, and I'm getting the same rent, so why should I worry about it?" Yu Meijuan said confidently.
"Yes, everything my mother says is correct," Yu Zihan said to her mother. Yu Zihan began to carefully study the land deeds, analyzing them from various aspects such as location, area, and the business district.
Finally she chose two places.
"Mom, I've picked out two places. Let's go check them out now." Yu Meijuan knew her daughter's personality, she was quick to act, so she asked, "Do you want to go alone, or should I go with you?"
"I can go by myself. I'm just going to check out the surroundings today, so I don't necessarily need to discuss matters with the owner. I'll discuss the details once the inspection is in place." Yu Zihan said this to her mother and hurried out. She planned to take Zhou Yiran with her to check out the store. After all, Zhou Yiran would be the one running the store from now on.
The two of them first arrived at the first store. It was a few hundred meters from the department store. It was surrounded by small shops, each only about ten or twenty square meters. Most of the shops were closed during the Lunar New Year holiday, but it was clear that most of them were selling clothing.
Yu Zihan pointed to the shop with a large frontage and said, "This is our shop. What do you think?"
Zhou Yiran didn't answer Yu Zihan's question right away. She observed each shop one by one. From the decoration of those shops, it could be seen that they must be selling low-end clothing, all common goods.
Looking at my own shop, the facade is gray and although it is three or four times the size of other shops, it is not very attractive. This is enough to prove that the current tenant's business is not very distinctive.
"I think it's a good place to open a shop, but we need to put some effort into the facade. In such a gray and unremarkable shop, we need to decorate it in a way that people can see it at first glance and successfully attract people's attention.
The biggest advantage here is that it has a high foot traffic and is very close to the department store, so visitors can see it from a distance. As long as the exterior decoration is attractive enough, this is a great location. Also, the rent in this location is bound to be very high, which is something we also need to consider."
Yu Zihan was very curious when she heard that Zhou Yiran could speak so professionally.
"Sister Yiran, have you learned these before?" Yu Zihan asked.
"I haven't studied it specifically, but I was very interested in it before and read some books on the subject. Of course, those books were confiscated at that time, but I'm lucky I have a good memory." Zhou Yi's expression was still gloomy when he talked about it. He must have been thinking about the hardships he had experienced before.
"It's all in the past. Wouldn't it be great if what Sister Yiran learned before could be put to use? You can learn while running the business. If you are interested in these, you can also attend night school for more professional studies." Yu Zihan believes that all talents must be constantly enriched and learned in order to keep up with the pace of the times. Systematic learning is very important.
"Yeah, I think so too, but we have to get the store running on the right track before we can consider these issues, not to mention that practice is more important." When Yu Zihan heard Zhou Yiran's words, she knew that she was a very thoughtful person.
They went up to look at the notice posted on the store, which said that the store would open on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
"Let's go check out another store." Yu Zihan led Zhou Yiran to another store.
This store is on another commercial street. It's even larger than the previous one, but unfortunately, all the shops here are restaurants. Opening a clothing store here would be inappropriate no matter how you look at it.
She looked at Zhou Yiran and saw her shaking her head, so she knew she agreed with her.
"Then let's choose one. I just thought of a name, how about calling it Queen's Boutique Clothing?" Yu Zihan asked Zhou Yiran.
Zhou Yiran thought carefully. Then he looked at Yu Zihan and said, "We can put a note in English below it. Wouldn't that be more stylish?"
Yu Zihan agreed. "Okay, that way we can look more impressive."
"What kind of coolness?" Zhou Yiran asked.
"Oh, that's the style you mentioned." Yu Zihan just remembered that there was no such word in this era.
"Oh." Judging from Zhou Yiran's expression, she clearly didn't understand. Yu Zihan didn't explain further. The two agreed to meet in front of the store at nine o'clock on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year and then went home.
Early in the morning on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Zihan and Yu Meijuan came to the store.
Seeing that the door was already open, the two walked into the store and saw Zhou Yiran already there, pretending to choose clothes.
Zhou Yiran saw that Yu Zihan and her daughter just nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
The owner is a young man who is dressed very fashionably, with bell-bottom pants, a leather jacket and long hair.
Seeing the two people come in, they greeted them warmly, "Come in and take a look. They are all the most fashionable styles. Wearing our clothes will make you the most beautiful girl on your street."
"Let's take a look ourselves first." Yu Zihan thought the young man was very interesting, and she looked at the shop carefully.
The room is about 40 square meters, rectangular, and quite deep, more than ten meters deep. It needs a partition. The ceiling height is about four or five meters. But now it looks very dark and lacks light, which greatly affects the display.
She turned and looked at the front of the store. If she opened a floor-to-ceiling window next to the main door, she could not only display two sets of models in the window but also let the outside light in.
