Chapter 265 Find a Store
Half a month later, the real estate certificate in Shenzhen was issued. Jiang Xinbai immediately moved the household registration of the three of them, mother and son, there. Then she asked Xu Tiancheng's connections to find a school for her two sons so that they could go to school next semester.
"Well, the school is a little far from the house we bought, and we have to take the bus for ten stops." Jiang Xinbai said with some worry, it would be great if it was right near his home.
"What can we do? The school near our community will not move here until the second half of the year, so we arrived early. Fortunately, Jiabao and the others are all grown up, so it's okay for them to take the bus to and from school." Yang Jinsheng felt that for boys in their teens, it was okay for them to take the bus to and from school, and there was no need to be so pampered.
"That's right. Let's go and see if there is a suitable house nearby. Yes, let's find the owner of the previous stir-fry restaurant. She is a local and well-informed."
"Okay, let's go!"
Then the two of them came to the stir-fry restaurant they had been to before. It was two o'clock in the afternoon, which was a slow time, and the proprietress was taking a nap leaning against the cash register!
Jiang Xinbai walked forward and tapped the table lightly, "Boss lady,"
"Ah, let's eat. There are menus on the wall for whatever you want to eat." The proprietress Li Li stood up suddenly, rubbed her eyes, and then looked at them and asked.
Jiang Xinbai smiled and replied: "Madam Boss, we don't want to eat. We just want to ask you for a favor and not let you work in vain. We will pay you." Then he pushed over five dollars.
Li Li looked at Jiang Xinbai and the other man suspiciously, then asked, "First, tell me what you want me to do for you? I wouldn't dare to do anything illegal or disorderly. We are an honest family."
"Well, look at what you said. We are honest people, right? I want to ask if there is any store for rent nearby. We..."
Before Jiang Xinbai finished her words, she saw the proprietress looking at her warily, "What are you doing? Want to open a store and steal my business? That won't work. There are no empty stores nearby. You don't need to ask. Just leave." As she said that, she pushed the five dollars back.
"Oh, no," Jiang Xinbai saw that the boss lady had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Boss lady, you misunderstood, we don't run a restaurant, we won't steal your business, I swear."
Li Li's eyes were still fixed on the five yuan. When she heard Jiang Xinbai's words, she immediately put her hand on the money and asked, "Really? Then what kind of store do you open?"
"Oh, it's not a cooking restaurant, so you can rest assured that we won't steal your business." The store hasn't even opened yet, so naturally, we can't reveal our cards.
Li Li rolled her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking of. She raised her chin towards the distance and said, "There is no place nearby, but there is an empty house two streets away. It is also quite large and suitable for a store."
Jiang Xinbai frowned after hearing this, "It's two streets away. This won't work. I see there are many people working in the factories nearby. People won't want to come to my store just two streets away! This won't work, boss lady, please help me think about it again. If it doesn't work, I'll ask other people." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to take back the five dollars.
Li Li held down the money and said, "Hey, don't be anxious. Listen to me, although they are two streets away from here, these factories have back doors and it's close from there. What's more, there are alleys in the middle that you can go through. It's not far. And let me tell you, there are two technical secondary schools next to it, and there are a lot of people!" But Li Li didn't say that although there are many students in the technical secondary schools, there will be no one there during the winter and summer holidays.
Jiang Xinbai was moved when he heard about the technical secondary school. He nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, let's go take a look first, but I have to make a promise. If it works, I will give you the five dollars. Otherwise, I will take it back."
Li Li was unhappy when she heard this. "Hey, how can you be like this? Do you think I will get nothing for my hard work accompanying you? Then I won't go."
At this time, Yang Jinsheng reached out and took back the five yuan, then smiled at Li Li and said, "Madam Boss, we won't let your hard work go in vain. Even if it doesn't work out, we will give you two yuan as a reward. What do you think?"
Li Li laughed when she heard it and muttered, "That's better. Come on, I'll take you there."
Then Jiang Xinbai and the others followed Li Li down an alley and came to a bungalow. "Here, this is it. The area is much larger than my store! There is room for a few tables in front of this store, so it's quite spacious. Also, there is a medical school and a normal technical secondary school over there. There are a lot of people there, so if you open a store here, your business will definitely be good."
Yang Jinsheng walked forward for a while, looked at the two schools with two pairs of doors open and smiled, "This is opened at two pairs of doors, the school looks quite big!"
"Of course not. There are three to four thousand people in the two schools combined! How can it be big?"
"Since there are so many people, why don't you open the store here, boss lady?" Jiang Xinbai suddenly asked.
Li Li waved her hand. "Hey, isn't that my own house? I don't have to pay rent. I have to pay for housing here. Besides, the factory has high spending power. Students have food in the cafeteria, and it's cheap, so they don't eat out that often. Hey, don't look at me. You said you don't sell food. I didn't lie to you."
Jiang Xinbai: "..." When did she say she didn't want to sell food? She just said she didn't want to sell fast food.
Yang Jinsheng nodded, "It looks okay. There are food stalls next to it. If it can continue to operate, then it should be doing business." Of course, they would not just listen to the proprietress's one-sided story. They had asked their third uncle before, and it turned out that there were indeed no stores on the street they liked, so they had to settle for this place.
Jiang Xinbai nodded. Actually, she was mainly attracted by these two schools. The cold drink business should be good. Besides, it was just an alley away, and workers from several factories over there could also come over.
So she asked the landlady, "Madam, who is the landlord of this bungalow? How is the rent calculated?"
"The rent? Look, isn't it posted there? Take a look for yourself." Li Li pointed to the white paper on the wall.
At this time, Jiang Xinbai saw the paper on the wall. She leaned in to take a closer look and read softly, "60 square meters, monthly rent of 45 yuan, contact person, Miss Li."
"Forty-five? That's too expensive! This is a lot of rent for a small, shabby house. Xiaobai, let's not pay for it. Let's go look somewhere else."
When Yang Jinsheng heard the number forty-five, he ran out of ideas and pulled Jiang Xinbai to leave.
"Hey, don't be anxious. The price can be negotiated. Do you know how to bargain?" Li Li tried her best for the five dollars. She directly grabbed Jiang Xinbai and wouldn't let him leave.
"Discuss? What? Are you the landlord?" Jiang Xinbai glanced at her and spoke as if the house belonged to her.
"That's not the case," Li Li waved her hand and continued, "But this house belongs to my cousin. The price is a bit high, but you can bargain with her. I tell you, her house is worth at most thirty-one months. Just bargain according to this standard and it will work."
Jiang Xinbai and Yang Jinsheng looked at each other, then asked, "Why? Does your cousin have a grudge against you?"
