For several days in a row, Ye Beiping and Zhou Xiaomei were busy choosing a location for the shop.
Only after selecting a shop location can one apply for a business license. However, due to the current situation in Hangzhou, such large spaces are almost always controlled by government agencies or state-owned enterprises.
Zhou Xiaomei also asked Ye Beiping whether they should directly approach them to hire someone.
But Ye Beiping sternly refused.
Putting aside the fact that Peng Tian's father, Peng Yuhuai, is a vice minister, if it impacts other state-owned restaurants, those renting government-owned properties might be evicted at any time.
Even if the contract is signed, there will be endless troubles. You can't be in court with the other party every day.
"Sister Zhou, even if it's a state-owned enterprise, I won't consider any housing provided by government agencies," Ye Beiping said with great certainty.
Because there is a difference between state-owned enterprises and government units. Although they are under the unified management of the state, they are not in the same system. If you really want to cause trouble for them, they are powerful figures who cannot be persuaded by the managers of ordinary state-owned restaurants.
So state-owned enterprises are relatively safe, but if you can really persuade these state-owned enterprises to deal with you, then they must be behemoths, and there's nothing more to say but that you can only accept your bad luck.
Zhou Xiaomei was a little confused and frowned slightly, saying, "In Beiping, the rent for government offices might be cheaper. I don't have many connections with state-owned enterprises. Should we reconsider?"
That's the truth. If she had that connection, she would have gotten her son in there long ago.
Even serving tea and water is a secure job with good prospects.
Ye Beiping shook his head, still resolute: "I'd rather spend more money."
As he spoke, he explained his meaning to Zhou Xiaomei, which was that there were too many enemies and they had to be on guard.
Having understood the whole story, Zhou Xiaomei nodded slowly.
At the same time, she looked at Ye Beiping with some surprise. She didn't expect that someone so young could think of this level. Joining his team was really a good deal.
Having understood the situation, Zhou Xiaomei did her best to contact those vacant properties belonging to state-owned enterprises.
Meanwhile, on Peng Tian's side...
It's been almost half a month, and Luo Yonghao has had no income every day, but his expenses are not low at all, so he's getting a little anxious.
"Brother Tian, this isn't a solution. We're spending money like water every day; how can we survive without making any?"
Peng Tian was speechless about his teammate.
It's incredibly stupid to keep spending money like before when you're not making any.
But he was in need of manpower right now, so he pursed his lips and said, "Let's wait patiently. My dad's colleagues will get back to me soon, and then I'll be able to make money quickly."
After he finished speaking, he appeared very calm, but inside he was full of disdain.
With so many unanswered questions, Peng Tian was starting to give up on the laser disc issue, fearing it wouldn't be so easy to obtain.
For mainland China, laser discs are considered high-tech, even though cinemas still use the earliest form of playback.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yonghao obediently shut his mouth.
Thinking that he had a date with a girl tonight to go to the movies, he looked around and, seeing nothing else, stood up and said, "Brother Tian, I'll be going now, I have something to do tonight."
Peng Tian didn't care what happened to Luo Yonghao that night.
He's getting a bit anxious right now; if he can't get his hands on all the laser discs, he'll have to find another way to make money.
"Go on, go on." Peng Tian waved his hand impatiently and sighed with a furrowed brow.
Wait until Luo Yonghao leaves.
Peng Tian suddenly remembered someone: Qiu Mingyue. They had all returned to the city, and Qiu Mingyue was probably still in Pingba Village.
When it comes to hatred for Ye Beiping, Qiu Mingyue is no less than either him or Luo Yonghao.
If we can bring Qiu Mingyue back to Hangzhou, then we can deal with Ye Beiping, right?
Even if we can't defeat them, we can at least hold them back for a while.
Without hesitation, Peng Tian got up and headed towards his father's workplace.
In this era, the municipal government's jurisdiction was not so strict, and people came and went in an endless stream. Unlike in the previous life, when some people would often surround the municipal government because of entanglements with land and developers.
After all, we haven't reached the era of large-scale real estate development yet.
Upon arriving at the municipal government, Peng Tianyi immediately sought out Peng Yuhuai's secretary.
Upon seeing that it was his boss's son, the secretary maintained a respectful demeanor: "Xiao Tian, what brings you here?"
In truth, he deeply loathed Peng Tian.
There was nothing he could do. Last time, because of Ye Beiping's warehouse incident, he went to the police station to report it and was later severely reprimanded by Peng Yuhuai.
Peng Tian had no idea what his secretary was thinking. Seeing an acquaintance, he happily asked, "Is my dad here?"
"He's not here. He seems to have gone down to inspect some work." The secretary answered truthfully. Despite her dislike for him, she couldn't stop the son from coming to see his father.
Not to mention that his father was his own boss.
Hearing that his father was not there, Peng Tian's smile became even brighter: "Um... there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."
These words immediately made the secretary frown, sensing that it wasn't a good thing.
Since he was already criticized for what happened last time, this time it probably won't be anything good either.
You can refuse outright, but that's definitely not an option.
The shrewd secretary asked with a forced smile, "What is it, Xiao Tian?"
"It's nothing serious." Peng Tian didn't notice his secretary's reluctance at all and immediately told her about Qiu Mingyue, explaining, "My classmate hasn't returned to the city for some reason. We're on good terms, so she asked me to come and ask her."
