"Think about it, how much does a young person earn per month after graduating from university and starting a job?"
Even if we don't run this shop ourselves, we can still earn 10,000 yuan a month just by renting it out, which is enough to cover the salaries of three or four college students.
Others aren't making money because they don't know how to run a business. We have a secret recipe; as long as people eat beef and mutton, we'll never lack business.
It is said that men are responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs. To outsiders, Yang San's family seemed no different from other families. Only they themselves knew that the real head of their family was Yang San's wife.
Yang San appears to be well-dressed and polite in public, but in reality, he is just a mouthpiece for his wife.
Not to mention that Wang Yunyan followed in Chen Hong's footsteps and, after several rounds of bargaining within five days, also managed to buy a shop in a relatively good location.
The house was 83 square meters and cost less than 700,000 yuan. Her family had 240,000 yuan, and she borrowed some from relatives. In the end, she borrowed 350,000 yuan from Chen Hong.
After paying in cash, paying taxes, and completing the property transfer, Wang Yunyan and her husband finally felt at ease; they had bought another property.
Yang Sanjia also bought a shop, but his shop was located on another street and had an area of 160 square meters.
It's no wonder that Hui people are so shrewd; they're natural-born businessmen! After Yang San completed the transfer of ownership, he had someone divide the shop into three small storefronts.
They rented it out at a relatively low price. "It's better to break it down into smaller parts! Now they're all rented out, right?"
Although the rent is not as high as when business was booming, it is still much more profitable than depositing money in a bank to earn interest.
"Honey, you're thinking long-term. Our contract is flexible, a yearly one, and it goes with the market. If prices rise, we won't lose out!"
Yang San held the contract, happily flattering his wife.
"Everyone says that when women are in charge, the house collapses! But I say that's all bullshit! Only incompetent men say that!"
"A woman's life is wasted if she doesn't manage the household! Honey, don't you agree? Look how comfortable our life is with you in charge!"
…………
After securing the shops, Chen Hong sent a message to Zhou Yi that evening, boasting to the man that she had snagged another bargain by buying three shops on Furong Street.
She thought today would be another day of one-sided information exchange, but unexpectedly, at 10:30, when she was almost asleep, her phone suddenly rang.
Chen Hong picked up her phone and saw it was the I Ching!
They hadn't spoken on the phone for seven or eight days, and they were both very excited. "Honey, I miss you so much. Do you miss me too?"
Chen Hong: "...I've thought about it..."
Zhou Yi had just gotten married and had to return to his unit before even finishing his honeymoon. He was very restless and dreamed about his wife's alluring figure every night.
Finally, he had the chance to hear his wife's voice, and he found that listening to her speak stirred up his emotions, turning him into a chatterbox.
Chen Hong also lost her sleepiness. Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, the couple chatted on the phone for a full half hour.
After putting down her phone, Chen Hong realized that in the past half hour, the couple hadn't said a single serious word. All that talk about missing me or dreaming about me was just meaningless sweet talk!
Why is she also becoming infatuated with Zhou Yi? Chen Hong sighed, realizing that after getting married, she had become what young people call "love-struck"!
No, this can't go on. If she stays idle any longer, she'll be ruined. The next day, Chen Hong quickly contacted her father to bring people to start the renovation.
The shop was simply decorated, clean and bright, with some floor tiles and wall finishes.
Since I'm not running a business here anyway, I just need to make sure it looks neat and clean at a glance, so it's easy to rent out.
Once the tenants have rented the property, they will re-plan and decorate and furnish it according to their own ideas.
It took Chen Hong's father and about ten people more than twenty days to renovate the three shops.
The doors and windows were all replaced with aluminum alloy ones, and even the exterior walls were repainted with cement by a bricklayer.
When the shops were being renovated, people came to discuss renting them out. After the renovation was completed, the 40-square-meter shop and the 80-square-meter shop were rented out for 6,000 and 10,000 yuan per month, respectively.
Chen Hong also signed a one-year short-term lease, with a deposit of two months' rent and three months' rent paid in advance. If she wants to renew the lease, the rent will be adjusted once a year.
That apartment, over 100 square meters, is too big to be rented by most small households, especially given the current sluggish market.
Chen Hong wasn't in a hurry. This kind of large shop space is only suitable for large fast food restaurants; it's not suitable for a snack shop.
Just wait patiently. Maybe the rent will be higher if you rent it out again in two months!
Chen Hong hasn't been idle this past month either. She picked another batch of fruit from the space, harvested tea leaves, and rented the tea-frying workshop of Lingyan Tea Factory to process them.
It's fair to say that Chen Hong got Lingyan Tea Factory to process her tea because of her fishing buddies.
One of her fishing buddies is the largest shareholder of Lingyan Green Tea, which is also a famous historical tea in Shandong Province.
Chen Hong's space has accumulated fresh leaves for half a year, totaling more than 1,300 jin.
Before the tea-picking season in Shandong, Chen Hong secretly hired two experienced tea-frying masters and reopened the tea-frying workshop, which had been locked for several months.
Using the tea factory's special withering machine, the leaves are withered at a high temperature of 400°C. It only takes four or five minutes to wither one pound of fresh leaves, saving a lot of time compared to manual withering.
The two masters secretly roasted the tea leaves for two weeks before they could produce a total of 240 jin (120 kg) of tea.
Chen Hong didn't leave a single ounce of tea leaves for the tea-frying master, and of course, the tea-frying master didn't dare to ask for any.
They weren't fools; just by looking at the quality of these tea leaves, they knew they were no ordinary products.
After packing up the tea leaves, Chen Hong gave each of the two tea-frying masters a kickback of 10,000 yuan, and drove away from the tea factory.
