Chapter 450 Li Jie and Zhou Qiuhe Move to Beijing
In the past, Li Jie thought that life in the county town was already very good. They had a small shop and Zhou Qiuhe had a stable income. But when he came to Beijing, he saw such a big city, so many ancient buildings, and there were many times more bicycles on the road than in the county town.
People always strive for higher goals. Even if it is not for himself and Zhou Qiuhe, but for the two daughters and two sons at home, he should try his best while he is still young!
Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan have already settled the issue of their children's schooling. Apart from this, they only have the problem of renting a house and making a living.
Li Jie told Zhou Qiuhe about these things when he returned.
Zhou Qiuhe smiled and said, "You finally figured it out."
Li Jie nodded and said, "Yes. Li Zhan and Juan Juan asked me to renovate the pharmacy this time. After renovating these five pharmacies, we will have one thousand yuan. Let's take out some of our savings and buy a shop in Beijing now. I don't believe that as long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to gain a foothold."
Zhou Qiuhe asked, "What about the shop in the county? Are you going to sell it?"
Li Jie thought for a moment and said, "Let's not sell it yet. If the business in Beijing is not good and we can't survive, we can go back to the county and have a way out. Last time you and Juanjuan went to Guangzhou, didn't you ask your elder sister to come and look after the store? I was thinking of letting your elder sister come and look after the store for us and paying her more. Once we have established ourselves in Beijing, we can talk about selling the store later."
Zhou Qiuhe nodded and said, "Yeah, I think so too."
After the two of them discussed it, they began to prepare for the move.
The plan is to wait until May or June, and Li Jie will go there to rent a house and look for a shop, etc. When the children have summer vacation, the whole family will move there, which will be just in time for September when the children can go to school.
Li Zhan didn't let Li Jie worry too much about renting a house.
Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang own two courtyard houses. Now that they live with them, both are empty.
In addition, Xia Juanjuan also bought a small set, which is also empty now, but it is a bit far away.
Li Zhan talked to Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang, and finally rented a small courtyard house with two entrances to Li Jie.
The rent wasn't that much, just about thirty yuan a month.
However, Lizhan was afraid that they would be short of money as they had just moved in and needed to buy a shop, so he waived the rent for the first six months.
Li Jie refused no matter what, saying that his sister-in-law had already helped him and Qiu He a lot, and they couldn't take advantage of them anymore.
After talking for a long time, Li Jie finally gave up insisting.
Li Jie and Zhou Qiuhe still planned to open a snack shop, selling steamed buns, fried dough sticks, mutton soup dumplings and the like.
Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan also started looking for a store with him.
It has been open for more than a year, and the previously vacant shops on the street have gradually opened. Competition has become fiercer and the prices of the shops have skyrocketed.
Finally, I chose a shop with a good location and size, but it would cost 3,500 yuan to buy it, and 100 yuan a month to rent it.
Li Jie had one thousand yuan from the decoration shop, more than one thousand yuan in profit from his own shop over the past year, and about four or five hundred yuan in savings. All in all, he was still one thousand yuan short.
Li Jie is somewhat conflicted.
I used up all my savings over the years to buy a store, and I still owe a thousand dollars!
If I really lose money, even if I want to go back to the county town, it may not be that easy!
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Third brother, this shop is good. It's 3,500 now, but if you look at it again in half a year, I'm afraid it will be more than that. I think it's worth it. If you dare to take the risk and buy it, Li Zhan and I will lend you the money you need first, and you can pay us back after you settle down and make money."
Now the real estate industry in cities has gradually started to take off.
Residential properties are one area, and commercial properties are another. In another ten or twenty years, both of them will increase a hundredfold!
It is 3,500 now, maybe 35,000 in ten years, 350,000 in twenty years, or even a million!
Even if you don't do business and just leave it vacant, it will still generate considerable profits after twenty years.
However, Xia Juanjuan naturally couldn't tell Li Jie about this.
Now, it depends on whether Li Jie has the courage to do so.
If he didn't dare to buy it with debt, Xia Juanjuan wouldn't force him to buy it. Otherwise, if anything happened in the future, she and Li Zhan would be in trouble.
Li Jie was a good guy. He made a decision without hesitation. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Buy it!"
