Chapter 396 Very handsome and fashionable
"Sister Li, I'm not going home for lunch today, so you don't have to prepare anything for me." Chen Yi changed her clothes and went downstairs. The two children had already gone to school.
Sister Li poked her head out of the kitchen and replied, "Okay, ma'am. I'll prepare meals for the two children."
Apart from the two adults who don't come back for dinner often, what she prepares most is meals for the children.
Chen Yi went out with her bag on her back, without riding her bike, and walked to the bus stop to catch the bus.
Now there is a way to ride a donkey backwards, but that thing is exposed to the wind and sun, it is better to take the bus.
We got on the bus and arrived at the department store. There were many shops nearby and people were coming and going.
Unlike before, clothes now do not require clothing tickets, you can buy them as long as you have money.
Chen Yi walked to the door of a Mingxue clothing store, saw a few people looking at clothes inside, and walked in.
"Chen Yi?! How did you find time to come here?" Zhao Xue was sorting out the accounts and was particularly happy to see her.
She goes to work as usual, but when she has free time she helps out in the clothing store.
Hearing this, Chen Yi smiled and told him about her resignation from her job.
"Sister-in-law, how is business lately?" After she said that, she asked about the store's business.
Zhao Xue nodded, "It's good. The store has expanded. We rented a shop next door. Your second brother sells men's clothing there."
His family has made a lot of money from their own business in the past two years and had planned to buy a car last year.
Even though they never express envy, they must feel envious when they see He Mingcheng's car.
But before buying the car, Zhao Xue didn't know why, so she went to ask Chen Yi.
Chen Yi just gave her some advice, and the rest was up to her.
That’s right, she suggested that Zhao Xue buy this shop of more than 80 square meters.
In later generations, such main street shops are often priced at tens of millions. If you have spare money to buy a car, you might as well invest in a shop.
This shop cost 45,000 yuan, and it is mainly because the individual business has become popular that the prices here are expensive.
It is next to the department store, that is the advantage.
There is a small courtyard behind the shop, which is quite large, about 60 to 70 square meters.
If you want to expand it, you can renovate it. You can then demolish the bungalow and directly build a two- or three-story building.
After Zhao Xue bought the shop, she felt a little painful, but when she saw that there were many self-employed people nearby, she knew that she had made a profit.
"Chen Yi, I have to thank you. Fortunately, we didn't buy a car." She suddenly mentioned this matter. The two of them were sitting in the inner room drinking tea and enjoying the fan.
Hearing this, Chen Yi smiled and said, "As long as you feel it's good, don't blame me later."
"But sister-in-law, I have to warn you." She said with a serious face: "Don't think about selling the house when the price goes up. The price of this house will get higher and higher in the next few decades."
"If you really want to sell it, tell me. It will definitely be higher than the market price."
She didn't want the shop in such a good location to be bought by someone else. What if the couple had short-sightedness and wanted to sell it? It would be better for her to keep it for herself.
Chen Yi also has two shops nearby, both of which are rented out, and the annual rent is not much.
But now that I have it, it will be money in the future.
Hearing her say this, Zhao Xue couldn't help but take it to heart, "Sister-in-law, I think we should raise the price as you said."
"Look, the restaurant across the street bought a house this year for 50,000 yuan. It's the same size as ours. I asked the price last year and it was only 46,000 yuan."
This is still a thousand yuan more expensive than theirs, otherwise I could buy it across the street, but it’s the same, it’s the same street.
Chen Yi nodded in agreement. "Second sister-in-law, let me exaggerate. In the future, if you sell this house in 30 years, you can have enough to support yourself in your old age. Not to mention the two of you, you can even support two generations of people without worries about food and clothing."
"So powerful?" Zhao Xue believed it.
Since I'm running my own business, I definitely won't sell it. Even if I sell it, I still have to rent a house. What's the point?
The two chatted and laughed, and Chen Yi selected two pieces of clothing and paid for them.
"What are you doing? Chen Yi, you are the one who brought me here to sell the clothes. How can I ask you for money? Take it back quickly." Zhao Xue refused to take the money.
Chen Yi said with a straight face: "You must accept this money! Second sister-in-law, business is most taboo to do things like you. You don't accept money for this and that. Do you think your family is doing charity? Even charity needs donations from others."
She was telling the truth. No one owed anyone anything. Everyone could afford it, so they were just showing their support.
Zhao Xue had no choice but to accept the money after hearing this. Her sister-in-law was indeed amazing and spoke more beautifully than her.
Chen Yi left the clothing store carrying clothes and turned around to walk around the street.
You know what, now there are all kinds of shops, most of which sell tapes and clothes. The main consumers are young people in their teens and twenties, who like the fashion sense in Hong Kong.
The young men were wearing bell-bottom pants, floral shirts, and sunglasses, and some even had a tape recorder on their shoulders.
This kind of dress made Chen Yi embarrassed for him, and she wished she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment for him right away.
However, these people think they are very handsome and fashionable, and the girls on the street also turn their heads to look over.
There haven't been any hooliganism crimes in recent years, so young girls and boys have become bolder, and you can often see three or five men and women going out to play together.
Holding hands in the street is nothing big. At most, older people will look at it and think it is immoral, but no one cares about it anymore.
Chen Yi took a walk and then took a bus back home. She planned to rest for two days and then go to help He Mingcheng.
She didn't eat lunch at noon, but hid in the space to think about what business to do.
The transportation company has been established. Wang Zhongjie and He Mingcheng are running it well and the company has recruited a lot of talents.
So it doesn’t matter whether Chen Yi goes or not, I just have to do something.
When she first came to this world, she decided to do some business.
So many years have passed, and there is still no progress.
After thinking about it, Chen Yi set her sights on the foreign trade company.
Those who engaged in foreign trade in the early 1990s made a lot of money. Wouldn’t she be able to get the first share of the profits if she does it now?
There are foreign trade companies now, but everyone is just trying to do it, and there are basically no big ones.
Thinking of this, Chen Yi decided to discuss it with He Mingcheng in the evening. After all, the initial capital was huge, and it depended on whether the transportation company could allocate the funds.
Moreover, this is not something that can be done just by saying it. You have to contact factories both at home and abroad. Otherwise, if you make contacts here but there is no one to take over there, wouldn’t it be a waste of work?
This requires careful study and we cannot act rashly.
Chen Yi is relatively cautious in doing things. He thinks everything through before doing anything.
Fortunately, I have been exposed to foreign trade in a garment factory, so these are not difficult. I am also a foreign language major, so I have no problem in this area.
Then we can find some college students majoring in foreign languages to give her some special training, and she will be able to take the first step!
