"I support you, too!" To avoid embarrassment, Zhang Xun stood up, gave Zhao Hanyun an encouraging gesture, and then went out to find his beloved fiancée and, incidentally, to curry favor with his future father-in-law. This made Zhao Hanyun even more puzzled. Did she say something strange? Why was everything exposed?
Zhao Hanyun picked up the small ball that had been following him, stared at it and asked seriously, "Little ball, explain to me, what's going on?"
"Everyone supports you in opening a store! What else could go on?" Little Ball looked at Zhao Hanyun speechlessly, his little eyes accusing Zhao Hanyun of having his head kicked by a bully: "You said that only you know how to operate this store. They don't support you to do it, so do you have to do it yourself?" What else is there to say if everyone says they support you? Little Ball deeply thought that this was a bad behavior of Zhao Hanyun relying on everyone.
Zhao Hanyun thought about everyone's reactions and finally realized the truth. This meant she could make all the decisions! She could open her own shop and impress everyone! With that thought in mind, Zhao Hanyun returned to her room. She needed to carefully plan the steps to create a unique shop.
The next day, Lu Laosi took over Zhao Hanyun's task and went out to find a store. Zhao Hanyun's family already had a store, but after all, not many people in the countryside would be willing to eat these things, so Zhao Hanyun set her sights on the provincial capital, the city center. In addition, Zhao Hanyun specifically instructed that if they could buy a store, they should not hesitate. She still had the money, and it was an investment now, which would have a greater return in the future.
When Lu Laosi came back to the farm to find Zhao Hanyun in the afternoon, Zhao Hanyun was sorting vegetables in the field. Some old vegetables that had not been picked in time needed to be pulled out. She was tired of waiting, so she came out to do some work to relax and see if there was anything she needed help with. She urgently needed to expend some energy.
After hearing Lu Laosi's news, Zhao Hanyun was silent for a moment before speaking, "Is that really the only place?" Lu Laosi brought back two pieces of news, one good and one bad. The good news was that he had found a shop for sale in the city center, and the price was reasonable. However, there was another piece of bad news: the location was quite remote, so people might not notice it. Moreover, Lu Laosi also discovered that the Imperial Hotel, in order to appear more unique, had built dozens of floors, leaving some shops somewhat out of the sun, and this one was one of them.
"Actually, we can negotiate with the store next door, but the price they asked for is too high, and I can't make the decision on my own, so I came back to ask." And there was another thing that Lu Laosi was embarrassed to say. If he hadn't let it slip that someone wanted to buy this place, other merchants would not have taken advantage of the situation.
"Okay, I understand the situation! So, Fourth Uncle, when you go back to negotiate, just say we're interested in acquiring the land, but it has to be contiguous. If one company refuses, then we won't take it."
"Will we suffer losses if we do this?" Zhao Hanyun decided to buy all the shops at once, which made Lu Laosi a little worried about suffering losses. He had come into contact with those shop owners before, and they were really of all kinds, greedy and hateful!
"Don't worry, when the time comes, lower the price a bit, and then spread the word elsewhere that someone's interested in buying from you. People will come to you." There's no food court downtown yet, so those corner shops must be selling clothes and the like. It's inevitable that business isn't good, given the Dihao building next door. City dwellers don't go to department stores for clothes, why would they come to these small shops?
Sure enough, within a week, someone came to Lu Laosi and put forward his request very sincerely. Lu Laosi also listened to Zhao Hanyun's words and agreed to it as long as the request was not too outrageous.
"What's going on with this other family?"
When Lu Laosi packed up the things and sent them to Zhao Hanyun for inspection, he found that the several stores that had come in the past few days had already negotiated, but there was one store in the middle that refused to move, even after negotiating the requirements.
"I heard that this woman went abroad to earn money and came back to open this shop. Her husband is not working properly every day. He yells at her when he comes home with nothing to do. Sometimes he even hits her. Now she relies on this shop to make a living. If the shop closes, she will lose her source of income completely. Her husband will beat her to death."
"Please tell her tomorrow that we definitely want the store, the price is negotiable, and if there's anything we can help her with, like giving her a job or something, we're open to negotiation."
the next day.
"The woman agreed!" Lu Laosi was happy. This job was not easy to do. In the past, it seemed easy when he saw his second brother fooling people so easily. But now it was his turn, he almost collapsed. It turned out that he was only suitable for running errands. Things that require brains like this should be left to those with better brains!
Zhao Hanyun seized on two points of this woman's point to illustrate her point. Wasn't she afraid that her husband would beat her and that she would have no source of income? In that case, he could just hire her as a receptionist and let her run the store. If she didn't sell the store, she could rent it out. The money she could earn every year should be much easier than making money from running a store, and it would be easier to get rid of her husband.
After getting the shop, Zhao Hanyun asked Qian San and Lu Laosi to decorate the shop together. Qian San's role was to settle every expense for Zhao Hanyun. Lu Laosi was very happy to continue to be an errand boy. He left everything in the store to his third brother and disappeared without a trace.
A month later, when Zhao Hanyun arrived in the provincial capital, he saw that his high-end dry pot restaurant had been renovated and would be ready for opening after a few months of drying.
"Put some mirrors here." Seeing that the shop was indeed blocked by some sunlight, Zhao Hanyun directly installed a few mirrors on the wall opposite the shop, using the refraction of the mirrors to add some light to his shop and add some interest.
"Girl, your shop is really great!" Yuan Jingyi happened to come to Dihao to find Zhang Xun that day, and came over on the way. Seeing Zhao Hanyun standing at the door looking around, she took a look. The shop was more than 300 square meters in size, so it was definitely no problem to put in dozens of tables.
"That's right. Don't you see who I am? Of course the bigger the store I open, the better!" Zhao Hanyun said with a bit of a thick face. She was not afraid of being laughed at. Ever since she was tricked by others, she decided to be high-profile in life and of course open a big store!
"That's enough! My eldest lady!" Yuan Jingyi patted her apprentice with a doting look on her face.
