Seeing the somewhat dejected person following behind her, Liu Zi said with a smile, "Shouldn't you be happy that your boss has a wide network of connections? Why do you look a little unhappy?"
"I'm not unhappy, I just feel like a clueless fool who can't do anything right," Wang Jian said, head down.
"Why do you think I brought you here?" Liu Zi changed the subject.
"Lead the way?" Wang Jian rubbed his head, genuinely puzzled.
"I'm from Beijing, I need you to show me where I'm going." Liu Zi glared at the young man and stopped being coy.
"You can use this favor once or twice, but not every time. For a while, the studio will be short-staffed, and you'll need to take on all the company's responsibilities. For example, tax filing and copyright registration. These are things you'll need to learn."
Wang Jian suddenly realized, "That's right!"
The boss is a songwriter, so of course there will be tax and copyright requirements.
Then he remembered that when the business license was being processed, the boss had filled in categories such as scriptwriting and novel writing.
"Boss, do you also write screenplays?" Wang Jian asked.
"Yes, I'm currently writing a column for the magazine 'Reading'. A novel of mine was picked up by Director Wang from Hong Kong, and it's estimated that it will be approved for filming soon." Liu Zi briefly introduced her work.
"ah!"
Wang Jian was stunned. How did his boss suddenly go from being a silver-plated person to a diamond-plated one?
"Didn't I tell you?" Liu Zi frowned and thought for a moment.
"No." Wang Zhan shook his head. He was very certain that the boss hadn't mentioned this.
"Now you know." Liu Zi shrugged.
"Alright, it gets dark early now, let's hurry up and go look at the house!" Liu Zi urged Wang Jian to hurry up and ride away, it wasn't good to keep blocking the entrance of someone's workplace.
The two first went to two places not far from Nanluo Ancient Alley. After looking at them, Liu Zi felt that one place was too small and the other was too noisy, neither of which was quite right.
Wang Jian then took her to another place, but Liu Zi was still not satisfied.
Wang Jian became a little nervous. He wiped his sweaty palms on his pants and said, "This fourth location is in Tianqiao Community, but it's still some distance from the downtown area, and it's quite large."
"But the landlord prefers to sell the house. If we rent it, there's a possibility of a change in ownership in the future," Wang Jian said as he walked.
"Let's go take a look first," Liu Zi said without offering further comment.
After the two arrived at their destination, Liu Zi finally understood what was going on.
Is this place remote?
No, it doesn't really count. It's part of the same Tianqiao community, but this block is on the west side, so there's definitely less foot traffic.
Furthermore, because the building is located in a remote area, even after the owner renovated it, few people inquired about it, and the "For Rent/Sell" sign on the door looked like it had been up for a long time.
"Have you asked about the price?" Liu Zi suddenly asked after examining the item for a long time.
"A single shop rents for about 7,200 yuan a year, which is about 600 yuan a month!" Wang Jian took out his notebook and found the items he had written down.
"So, renting all four stores together costs 2,400?"
"No, it's two thousand two, but the landlord is giving me a two hundred dollar discount for renting the whole place. However, the boss's four shops are too big, plus the second floor and the backyard, it's a bit cramped for me to work alone." Wang Jian scratched his head, he felt that their studio could be opened anywhere, it didn't necessarily have to be a shop, it would be too wasteful.
"How much does the homeowner want to sell it for?"
"According to Jianwen, the homeowner is in a hurry to sell, willing to pay one million. Apparently, his business in the south ran into trouble, which is why he's in a rush to sell the house. Moreover, the buyer wants cash and won't delay payment."
After listening to Wang Jian's words, Liu Zi remained silent for a long time, calculating the amount of money she had.
This is a huge bargain! In two years, the property prices here will multiply. Right now, only one million is incredibly tempting.
Unfortunately, her funding gap is too large, and she can't raise a million no matter what. Is there any other way?
Wang Jian took Liu Zi to two more places, but she kept thinking about that house, and found the other places rather boring.
"You've done a good job. Keep up the good work. You could learn about financial reporting and tax filing recently." After saying this to Wang Jian, Liu Zi left with a heavy heart.
On her way back, Liu Zi had already thought of several solutions. She only had a little over 100,000 yuan in liquid funds, and even if she could borrow some from her parents, it would still be far from enough.
Recently, many people have been asking her to write songs, but the process is too complicated. By the time the money for the song is paid and the song is in hand, it's probably too late.
If someone could lend her some money during this time, that would be great.
It should be fine in a month or two. If not, you can only talk to the homeowner to see if you can postpone it.
But the other party was selling the house to raise money, so why would they agree to her method?
Liu Zi thought about it all the way, then rejected it the whole way, and by the time she got back to the vicinity of Songzhuang, she had almost given up.
A penny can't make a hero; the ancients were right!
Suddenly, a fragrant aroma wafted over. Liu Zi sniffed carefully and realized it was the smell of delicious meat being cooked in a pot. Remembering her eldest daughter's craving, she decided to buy some to add to the family's meal.
Liu Zi didn't go directly into the store, but instead lined up behind the villagers buying meat. She watched Song Yan skillfully cut and package the meat, finding it very interesting.
Just then, an old man spoke up and asked, "Xiao Yan! I heard your shop is moving to Beijing. If you leave, I won't be able to eat such delicious meat anymore!"
"Yes! Yes! I heard your family is going to buy a house in Beijing." The middle-aged man next to him said the same thing.
"Who told you all this? You actually believed something that's not even certain. Besides, even if I open another store, our Songzhuang Hao Zi Wei is the original store. No one can surpass it." Song Yan's words put everyone's little schemes to rest.
yes!
They're going to Beijing to open a shop and do business, unlike those big bosses who make money and buy houses in Beijing.
"I was thinking that there are many people in Beijing, and even more from other places. We need to let them know that Beijing not only has Donglaishun, but also our Songzhuang braised meat," Song Yan said with considerable pride.
"Yes, yes, let those out-of-towners try our local cuisine too," the middle-aged man immediately agreed.
"Oh my, Xiao Yan, you've really made Songzhuang proud."
"Yes, yes, people from out of town will definitely love it. My second aunt's uncle's cousin's grandson does big business in the south. Last time he came to Beijing to visit relatives, he bought two catties of braised meat from Xiao Yan. And guess what happened next?" The eldest sister kept everyone in suspense.
"Hurry up and tell me!" someone urged impatiently.
"That big boss showed off a whole plate by himself, and when he left, he even packed up a lot to take with him, saying he was going to give them away." The older woman looked quite proud of herself.
"Thank you all for your support. My shop won't be moving. Come back whenever you want meat after you go to university." Song Yan smiled and thanked everyone around her.
The old man replied, "That's good, that's good. My teeth aren't very good, so I love eating your fatty meat; it's fragrant but not greasy."
"Thank you for your praise. Please come again if you like it." Song Yan smiled as she saw the old man off.
Liu Zi, standing behind the crowd, was stunned. How could she not have thought of that?
