What does it matter if the store is small!
Zhu Meiqun wanted to open a fruit store, not the fruit supermarket that was later opened, so it did not require such a large store area.
In Chengdu in 2006, occupying the road for business was a common phenomenon. Everyone put their goods outside the store. It would be strange if Zhu Meiqun didn't put her goods in the open space outside the store.
If the fruits could be placed in the open space outside the store, this location would become a golden port, and passers-by would not be able to ignore the existence of this store.
Fruits are different from clothes, socks, shoes and hats. Fruit stalls that are deliberately arranged are very attractive. Passersby who don’t want to buy clothes rarely stop to buy clothes on a whim. When they see neatly arranged fruits, they are likely to stop. This is also a three-way intersection with a large flow of people. No matter which intersection passersby pass by, they can see the various fruits displayed outside the store by Zhu Meiqun at a glance, so the open space outside is more valuable than the store itself!
Old Wen agreed with Wen Ying's statement from the bottom of his heart, but he just didn't want Hei Xin Mian to get too complacent, so he asked, "The space outside the store is more important than the storefront. So why bother renting a storefront? Why not just set up a mobile stall like we do for wontons? That way, your aunt can even save on rent!"
Wen Ying looked at Lao Wen as if he were a fool.
Is this her biological father?
No wonder in her previous life, she was determined to get into the system, thinking that those who were not civil servants or working in public institutions were all workers with precarious jobs - there was nothing she could do, Lao Wen was really not cut out for business!
"How can it be the same? If you have a shop and you display fruit outside, it's considered taking up space. When the city is being cleaned up, at most the fruit will be taken back into the shop, which won't have much of an impact on business. Rain or shine, it won't affect your aunt's income. If you don't have a shop and you display fruit in the open air, not to mention what you'll do when it rains, blows, or shines, you'll be chased away by the urban management every time there's a cleanup! Besides, the same fruit will definitely be more expensive in a shop than on a mobile stall. The damage to the fruit during transportation is enough to offset the rental expenses... More importantly, with a shop, your aunt has a sense of belonging to Chengdu."
Stalls are mobile, but stores are fixed.
When a person is constantly wandering, she has no sense of belonging.
Having a place to stay gives you a sense of belonging.
Renting a house cannot give Zhu Meiqun such a sense of belonging, but renting a store can, because the store will continue to help Zhu Meiqun make money, accumulate wealth for Zhu Meiqun, and help Zhu Meiqun realize her dream of buying a house for her son Wen Kai in Chengdu!
Speaking of which, Wen Ying was quite puzzled. With Old Wen's rigid brain, how could he come up with the idea of letting his aunt Zhu Meiqun do the fruit business? Was it also his uncle-in-law's suggestion?
Facing Wen Ying's question, Wen Dongrong coughed:
"You think I don't even know this common sense? I'm just testing you!"
Without waiting for Wen Ying to respond, he walked over to Zhu Meiqun, who was negotiating the rent with the landlord, with his hands behind his back. He raised his voice and said seriously, "The rent doesn't need to be reduced. The contract needs to be extended for two years. Unless there are force majeure factors such as demolition, you will have to pay compensation if you break the contract."
The landlord only wants to sign a three-year contract.
Once Wen Dongrong started to act arrogantly, he became a very impressive person, especially good at speaking in official language. The landlord was frightened by Wen Dongrong and finally agreed to sign a five-year contract.
Wen Ying pretended to make a phone call: "I'll ask Lawyer Zheng. It would be better for both parties if the contract is standardized."
Wen Ying actually didn't even dial the phone. She walked over and mumbled a few words, then quickly helped Zhu Meiqun draft the store lease contract.
Wen Dongrong took the contract drafted by Wen Ying and read it from beginning to end, seeming to be lost in thought.
Just by making a phone call to ask Lawyer Zheng, you can write such an organized and standardized contract?
This is the third time Wen Ying has demonstrated her knowledge of the law.
Before, Wen Ying lacked start-up capital for her crayfish business, so she made money by helping others draft agreements.
Wen Dongrong was curious at the time, what kind of agreement could he draft to earn 1,000 yuan.
There was also a letter of complaint written by Shu Guobing under his real name. Wen Ying said that Shu Guobing had committed the crime of false accusation and frame-up and should go to jail. In the end, Shu Guobing really went to jail for this crime.
At that time, Wen Ying said that she learned it from watching Hong Kong dramas, but Wen Dongrong didn't believe it.
Now Wen Dongrong is even less convinced.
However, Wen Dongrong said nothing in front of Wen Ying. At night, while Chen Ru went to take a shower, Wen Dongrong stuffed the mat beside the bed into the deep of the closet, and put his pillow back on the bed. Then he lay down on the bed and couldn't help but sighed with satisfaction: Although his wife was not cruel enough to really force him to sleep on the balcony during the New Year, how could sleeping on the mat beside the bed be as comfortable as the bed?
When Chen Ru walked into the room while wiping her hair, Wen Dongrong took the initiative:
"I think Wen Ying is quite interested in law. Find an opportunity to ask her if she wants to study law in college."
Interested in law?
Chen Ru's attention was indeed diverted.
Wen Dongrong summarized his findings. "Tell me, if she had no interest in law, how could she have cared about this? Think about it, when she hired Lawyer Zheng to fight the rights protection lawsuit, she actually didn't want to tell us from the beginning. I see that little girl encountered such a thing, not only didn't she panic, but was actually very excited!"
Interest is the best teacher.
If a child has no interest, it will be very painful for parents and teachers to force him to study. If he is interested, he will find ways to learn on his own without anyone's supervision.
What Wen Dongrong said made a lot of sense, but Chen Ru was misled.
Chen Ru has thought a lot about what major Wen Ying will study in the future.
A year ago, the most stable option was undoubtedly to go through the "New Concept Composition Competition" admission channel with reduced scores. As the first prize winner of the competition, Wen Ying went to negotiate with more than a dozen co-organized universities and realized her dream of attending a prestigious university through the advantage of reduced scores.
At that time, Wen Ying was not very interested in this path.
