When Zhang Qiuling heard her husband wanted her to open a supermarket, she immediately applauded. Deep down, she longed for financial independence.
"Okay, it's good to open a supermarket. It's not tiring."
When Yuan Fangmin heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zhang Qiuling in his heart.
After a pause, he continued, "But opening a supermarket requires a lot of investment. With this little money, it's probably a stretch."
"How much money will it cost at least?" Zhang Qiuling asked quickly.
"I estimate that a larger supermarket would cost at least one to eight hundred thousand." Yuan Fangmin often travels outside now and has a relatively good understanding of the commodity information in society.
First of all, to open a supermarket, you either have to build the building yourself or rent it. The cost of renting is definitely not that high, but the problem is that it is impossible to rent for just one or two years. It has to be at least five years, and some even have a lease period of more than ten or twenty years.
Secondly, the decoration of the supermarket is definitely a considerable expense.
Again, the purchase of various commodities.
Finally, there are all sorts of miscellaneous employee salaries, utility bills, taxes...
Yuan Fangmin counted the money on his fingers and gave Zhang Qiuling a detailed account. Zhang Qiuling listened and said, "Why would we open such a big supermarket? Can't we just rent a storefront?"
Yuan Fangmin was used to big scenes, and the scale of a small supermarket of ten square meters was really not appealing to him.
He shook his head, a look of pity and anger on his face as he said, "So you women have long hair and short vision. You keep nagging me every day about how big my brother gets. Now I'm giving you a chance, but you're not willing to take the risk. How can you make a lot of money with this mentality?"
Zhang Qiuling said with a look of grievance: "Can't we come up with that much money?"
"How much money do we have now?" Yuan Fangmin knew the answer well, because all the money he earned was kept by Zhang Qiuling.
"We have 20,000 yuan on hand now, and the remaining 240,000 yuan is in the bank." Zhang Qiuling said after thinking about it.
This is the same as the expected value in Yuan Fangmin's mind. Although Zhang Qiuling sometimes has a bad temper, she is still very good in this regard. She will not spend money "indiscriminately" and is relatively frugal in her daily life.
"That's still a long way off. How much can your father afford?" Yuan Fangmin asked after thinking for a while.
When Zhang Qiuling heard her husband mention how much money her family could contribute, she couldn't help but smack her lips and said with an embarrassed look on her face, "You know my dad's character. He's very stingy."
"Then we still have a long way to go. Maybe we can only ask big brother to invest." Yuan Fangmin said after thinking about it.
Zhang Qiuling immediately became anxious when she heard that Yuan Fangmin was actually looking for Yuan Fangguo to invest. She quickly shook her head and said, "I don't want him to get involved."
"If you don't want to, there's nothing we can do. We're short of money."
"Let's go to the bank to get a loan."
"What kind of loan do you want? Should I pawn you, me, or Niuniu to the bank?" Yuan Fangmin asked back.
Zhang Qiuling couldn't help but sigh. They didn't even have a house, so why would the bank lend them money?
"Then I'll try to ask him."
"If we want to get more money, we must make him pay more." Thinking that Zhang Delong had been quite disliked to him in the past, and this time he had to pay, Yuan Fangmin suddenly felt quite comfortable. For a miser like Zhang Delong, giving money would definitely cost him his life.
However, Yuan Fangmin's wishful thinking this time was wrong. When Zhang Delong heard his daughter talking about investing money, he agreed without hesitation.
The reason why he agreed was very simple. The supermarket was controlled by his daughter. If Yuan Fangmin was the one making the decision, Zhang Delong would never agree.
However, the amount of money Zhang Delong could give was not much, only 150,000 in total, which was far from the budget in Yuan Fangmin's mind.
Zhang Qiuling originally wanted to use the money to open a smaller supermarket, but unexpectedly Yuan Fangmin wanted to develop into a large supermarket. Seeing that Yuan Fangmin was knowledgeable and having seen many rich people in Chengdu, Zhang Qiuling gritted her teeth and agreed.
So when Yuan Fangguo couldn't accompany him to the advertising company on the weekend because his girlfriend had something to do, Yuan Fangmin found him first.
After explaining the situation, Yuan Fangguo was quite supportive.
This time he even generously said that although he paid a lot of money, because the management rights mainly belonged to Zhang Qiuling, he only wanted a 40% stake.
When Yuan Fangmin heard this, he firmly disagreed and insisted on splitting it in half.
The two brothers fought for a while. Naturally, the younger one couldn't beat the older one, so they could only divide the profits in a ratio of 4:6.
After discussing this issue, Yuan Fangguo discussed the supermarket issue with Yuan Fangmin and Zhang Qiuling.
There is definitely not enough time to build a new supermarket, so renting a building has become the most ideal option at the moment.
After wandering around and searching for a while, they finally found a suitable place. Previously, this place was a noodle factory. Later, due to the high business, the boss closed this large factory building, and it is now vacant.
"You guys talk about it, let's try to sign a longer contract." Yuan Fangguo said.
Yuan Fangmin nodded and said that they would implement it as soon as possible.
But he still had a question, what if the boss didn't want to rent it but wanted to sell it?
"Isn't this just perfect? We can just open later."
"Okay, then let's implement it as soon as possible." After Yuan Fangmin resolved the doubts in his heart, his determination and will to work hard became even stronger.
In the evening, the couple started whispering to each other again. Zhang Qiuling had a bad idea and was ready to take some kickbacks from it, but she was rejected by her husband with a righteous look on his face.
"Brother has treated us well. We can't do this. If he finds out, how can we face others?"
Seeing that Yuan Fangmin was like a block of wood and didn't understand, Zhang Qiuling's face suddenly darkened. "You are such a fool. It's a waste not to take advantage of such a good deal. Besides, let's go quietly and the price shouldn't be too high. If we don't tell each other, who will know?"
"There is no impenetrable wall in the world. We can't do this. If you want, we won't open this supermarket." Yuan Fangmin said with a firm attitude.
"He's really stubborn." Zhang Qiuling couldn't help but say angrily when she saw that Yuan Fangmin seemed to be full of "justice".
Seeing his wife's unreasonable expression, Yuan Fangmin turned his head away angrily. In his opinion, how could brothers take advantage of each other? Moreover, his elder brother treated him well.
