After getting my boarding pass, going through security, and waiting for another half hour, I finally boarded the flight to Kunming. Before turning off my phone, I sent Yang Sisi a WeChat message, telling her that I had bought her a pair of shoes at the AJ flagship store on Nanjing Road and asked her to pick them up when she had time.
As the plane soared into the sky, I closed my eyes... I wasn't sleepy, I just didn't want to look at Shanghai below me at this moment, nor did I want to care about the inextricable ties between myself and it, because in my mind, this is no longer the place where I took root and grew.
...
After a three-hour flight, I arrived at Kunming Airport around 2 p.m., and then took a ride-sharing car back to Dali... I didn't let myself have a minute of free time. Without even having dinner, I hired two cleaners to clean all 16 of Cao Jinbo's shops.
During the cleaning process, I discovered quite a few problems. First, the paint on the walls had many cracks and peeling areas. The bathroom had drainage issues because it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. These are all things I need to address and resolve as soon as possible.
I asked someone to find two craftsmen, and after agreeing on the repair price with them, I rushed to a water heater shop near the ancient city. After some haggling, I ordered 16 electric water heaters at a price of 1,200 yuan each.
Such investments may not seem like much, but when added together, they can amount to a rather frightening sum. At this point, I was truly glad that Cao Jinbo had chosen such a profit-sharing partnership model; otherwise, I wouldn't have had enough money to convert these 16 shops into temporary guesthouses.
...
Time flew by, and by the time I had some free time and had dinner, it was already 11 p.m. Jiulongju was in a deep and quiet state... and I was leaning back in the recliner, smoking and thinking about the New Year.
I currently have 20 rooms that I can sell. A single room can sell for 1,500 yuan. If the market is as booming as it was last year, I can make 30,000 yuan a day. If this continues for 20 days, that's 600,000 yuan. After deducting the initial investment of 150,000 yuan, I can make a profit of about 450,000 yuan. Even if I share half with Cao Jinbo, I can still earn 225,000 yuan.
Although it may not seem like much, it is definitely my first pot of gold in life, and it will give me more confidence to tap into the commercial potential of "Jiulongju"... In the future, I will only earn more money beyond this 225,000, instead of it being a one-off deal that ends there.
I just kept getting more and more excited...
The situation only calmed down after receiving a WeChat message from Yang Sisi.
To be honest, her reaction time is quite long. I sent her a message this morning, and she's only now replying!
