Administrative departments such as the Industrial and Commercial Bureau are closed on Sundays, so they naturally cannot apply for business licenses.
The two of them had already made a clear division of labor for the day's arrangements. In the morning, Yuan Fangguo went to the town in the urban area alone to sell things, while Li Chunli made an appointment to meet and negotiate with the owner of a vacant store.
Yuan Fangguo sold quite a few products in the morning. At noon, he calculated carefully and found that he had earned about 700 yuan today.
Yesterday, the two of them worked together until two o'clock and earned almost a thousand yuan.
On the way back, Yuan Fangguo felt that making money today was secondary. The main thing was that he deeply realized that in the business economy, one plus one could not equal two. It was either greater than two or less than two. The previous configuration of him and Li Chunli was a bit extravagant. They should make adjustments and divide the work again. If both of them were busy at the stall, it would be a waste of resources.
When I returned to the stationery store, it was exactly half past one.
Li Chunli was already standing at the door, looking around and waiting for his return.
Seeing Yuan Fangguo approaching with two large boxes, she hurried over to greet him, smiling broadly, "Fangguo, the storefront issue has been settled. The landlord has agreed to pay the rent every six months. Why don't you go take a look inside? I think there are quite a few cabinets in there that we should be able to use."
There was still some time before the school football team gathered, and the storefront happened to be just across the street, so Yuan Fangguo decided to follow Li Chunli to take a look.
Li Chunli picked up the key and walked towards the storefront they had just rented with Yuan Fangguo.
The rolling door slowly opened, and the layout and facilities inside slowly came into Yuan Fangguo's sight.
It turned out that this was a rental bookstore before, and there were some bookshelves, tables and cabinets inside. If they wanted to save money, they didn't need to make too many changes, just a little decoration would be enough.
This storefront also has an excellent feature, that is, when standing at the door, you can vaguely see the police station not far away.
After a brief discussion, the two decided not to make any large-scale changes. They only needed to buy a set of better desks and chairs. As for the empty spaces on the bookshelves, they could put some vases there, which would look beautiful and warm.
"How much does it cost to buy this storefront?" Yuan Fangguo asked casually.
"About 4,000 per square meter." Li Chunli said without hesitation.
“About 20 square meters?”
“That’s about the price.”
"Eighty thousand yuan."
"It's enough to buy a house." Li Chunli didn't know what was going on with her recently. Whenever she thought of a house, she thought of her daughter. She urgently needed a house of her own.
"It's enough to buy a house, but this is a prosperous area, so the appreciation potential is definitely greater than that of commercial housing," said Yuan Fangguo.
"Fang Guo, do we want to build a partition?" Li Chunli asked suddenly.
"Build a partition?" Yuan Fangguo frowned when he heard it.
Seeing Yuan Fangguo's hesitation, Li Chunli quickly said, "If the person we recruit doesn't have a place to live, we can let her live here. If she doesn't need it, we can actually put some other things in here so that the whole place doesn't look so empty."
Soon, he nodded in agreement.
"I'll call the carpenter right away and ask him to come over and fix it for us."
After walking around inside, they also took a special look at the backyard. They found that the storefronts on this street were all built by a construction company, so basically all the storefronts, including the backyards, are exactly the same.
After returning to Li Chunli's stationery store, Yuan Fangguo handed over today's sales situation to Li Chunli. This was the rule they set when they first started working together. Every account must be kept clear. Today, only Yuan Fangguo went to the town to attend the market, so naturally he had to explain the account clearly to Li Chunli.
After handing over the accounts, Yuan Fangguo changed his clothes in the cubicle before leaving.
After waiting at the school gate for a while, the players of the school football team came out one after another, talking and laughing.
Yuan Fangguo also noticed that the iron substitute Liu Hao even bought a football newspaper to kill time.
"Brother Hao, what's the news?" Yuan Fangguo came forward.
"Information about domestic football, Serie A, Bundesliga, and La Liga."
"Brother Hao, can you lend me one?"
Liu Hao was quite generous and directly flipped a page from the newspaper below and gave it to Yuan Fangguo.
This is a report introducing the National Football League A. The report mentioned that the first National Football League A would kick off in Chengdu on April 17, 1994. The professional football that football fans had been looking forward to for many years was about to arrive.
At present, all teams are making intensive preparations for next year's league. The selection of foreign players, the trial training of new players, and the guarantee of logistical equipment are all proceeding in an orderly manner.
Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but be a little intoxicated by such news. He was even planning to buy tickets for next year's opening ceremony.
He was deeply obsessed with the football newspaper. Even on the minibus to Normal University, he read it with great interest without raising his head.
When the minibus arrived at the Normal University Stadium, he had just finished reading an entire football newspaper.
Liu Hao, the buyer of the football newspaper, had just finished reading it, and sitting next to him was Yuan Fangguo.
Liu Hao sighed, "Fang Guo, did you see the interview with renowned journalist Cui Shi with Maradona? He said he'd play in our country if he could. No wonder he idolized Che Guevara; both were broad-minded internationalists."
"Really? Maradona expressed his willingness to play football in our country?" A dark and thin guy next to him was also surprised.
Liu Hao nodded and pointed at the football report. "Isn't that right? Cui Shi is a Chinese resident living in Italy. He's said to have extensive connections in the Italian football world and has good relationships with many stars."
"I also read a report last time where Cui Shi interviewed Italian goalkeeper Zoff. Zoff also expressed his willingness to play in China. If these stars all work together, then our country's league might be able to surpass Serie A and become the world's top league."
The young members of the school football team began to chatter, but Yuan Fangguo rarely interrupted. He knew that Cui Shi was a complete liar, and the interview was just a lie he made up.
These days there are both doers and conspirators.
