Furniture stores need to find larger storefronts. A showroom of over a thousand square meters can't actually fit many beds. These days, no one has a house that big. Several hundred square meters is still needed, which is another expense.
Shu Aiguo probably can't handle this situation by himself.
Chu Yu then said, "If all else fails, I'll partner with you. We'll each contribute 1,500 yuan, so 3,000 yuan should be enough to get the furniture store up and running. The first month's wages won't be settled until the end of the month. The main expense will be the shop rent. We'll hire more skilled workers and pay them higher wages than elsewhere. Before the first month's wages are paid, we can put the finished furniture on display in the furniture store and sell it. We can use the profits to pay the wages. With a front shop and a back factory, we can shorten the time it takes to turn the furniture into cash. All things considered, 3,000 yuan should be enough to cover the costs."
Shu Aiguo didn't understand what "front shop, back factory" meant, but when Chu Yu said they wanted to partner up, Shu Aiguo felt more at ease.
Deng Fangping earned over a thousand yuan, and Shu Aiguo also earned several hundred yuan selling quail and integrated cabinets. They happened to have a thousand five hundred yuan in savings.
Chu Yu partnered with him, and the two shared the risks. With this niece around, Shu Aiguo felt reassured.
"Your second uncle is fine with it, but we still need to discuss this with your aunt."
How could Deng Fangping disagree?
In fact, as soon as Shu Aiguo brought it up, Deng Fangping readily agreed, not because she had great confidence in her man, but mainly because she saw through the true nature of the matter.
Chu Yu is a golden goose that lays eggs; every idea she comes up with makes money!
Otherwise, why would Chen Zhuyu have stayed in Deyang?
They even contributed 20,000 yuan as a partnership?
They're not stupid; they all value Chu Yu's abilities.
Asking Deng Fangping to contribute 30,000 yuan? She doesn't have that ability. It's only 3,000 yuan, and it's a joint venture between two families. What can't she do? If there's going to be additional investment later, the money she earns can be used to support the furniture store. The couple can make money together, and that's how they make money faster!
Having tasted the joy of making money, Deng Fangping's desires swelled, and she wanted even more.
She is different from Shu Hui. Shu Hui has a good daughter who bought the house without Shu Hui having to ask.
But Shulan is clueless. Deng Fangping doesn't expect Shulan to buy a house, but her family of five can't be without a house, can they? After coming to Deyang, she saw the convenience of big cities, the gap between herself and city dwellers, and the limitations of rural children. Seeing that her niece bought an apartment in Deyang, how could she not be tempted?
Deng Fangping also wants to save enough money as soon as possible to buy a decent storefront in Deyang, bring her children to live with her, and have a more stable life.
Without the slightest hesitation, Deng Fangping immediately handed over all her family's belongings to Chu Yu.
Chu Yu hadn't expected Deng Fangping to trust her so much; the money was already out before the details of the collaboration were even discussed.
Fortunately, she wasn't one to act recklessly. She wouldn't partner with Shu Aiguo without absolute certainty. Furniture was a profitable business, and in fact, it wasn't just furniture; anything could be profitable at that time. Those who entered early would set the industry standards, and twenty years later, they would be the industry benchmarks!
What industry can you reach the top in without making money? Chu Yu was very confident.
These past few days, the clothing store renovations have been paused as everyone is waiting for Dai Donglin's chandelier and wallpaper. The wallpaper was ordered by Dai Donglin's subordinates, since Dai Donglin instructed them to buy her whatever the best clothing stores in the city use.
This person bought her wallpaper, saying that the boutique clothing stores in the port city used this pattern, and bought her the exact same one. He also bought her a chandelier and a rotating spherical light.
Chu Yu pondered that it was the kind of rotating light installed in disco halls in later generations, capable of projecting colorful lights. He would only know the specifics once the goods arrived.
