"Section Chief Chen, do we have guests?"
Chen Baifu waved his hand dismissively, "This is my relative, don't scare him!"
Upon hearing that they were relatives, the group awkwardly touched their noses and left reluctantly.
Chen Baifu lit a cigarette, opened the warehouse door, and said, "The price is the same as yesterday. You can cut off whatever buttons you want!"
With tens of thousands of buttons, Chu Yu couldn't pick them out one by one, so she could only shovel them into the sack, roughly the same as yesterday, shoveling out three or four thousand.
At this point, the advantage of a storefront becomes apparent. If Chu Yu had a storefront, he would have removed all the defective buttons in one go, so that if his business did well, it would attract envy and people would find out his source.
Baode Button Factory is located in Deyang, so this is entirely possible.
When it comes to storefronts, Chu Yu was really at a loss.
In 1980, houses could be freely bought and sold, but the vast majority of houses on the market were in the hands of the housing management office, and private housing was extremely rare.
In large cities like Deyang, there are even regulations on the charging standards for housing and storefronts.
I don't know the exact pricing yet, but when I was setting up my stall today, I vaguely heard people talking about it. They said that the rent for a 50-square-meter apartment is generally less than 10 yuan, while a storefront is much more expensive, about 60 cents per square meter.
"You want to rent a house?" Chen Baifu asked in surprise.
Chu Yu smiled and shook her head, "Section Chief Chen, you think too highly of me. I only earn a little over one yuan a day, how could I afford to rent a shop?"
"That is..."
“It’s my mom and my second aunt. They run a food stall in Deyang and earn a little money through hard work. But my hometown is in Rongtai County. They have to drag a handcart to Deyang every day. It’s a long and inconvenient journey. I was thinking that it would be better to rent a shop for them so that they don’t have to travel back and forth.”
Chen Baifu had always guessed that Chu Yu came from a poor family, that her father had died early, and that she and her mother depended on each other for survival.
These words confirmed his suspicions.
He is also a warm-hearted person.
"You've come to the right person! I don't have the ability to find a house, but my wife is a know-it-all. There's nothing she doesn't know about the Deyang Department Store area! One of her colleagues had a falling out with a neighbor, and she just helped her colleague exchange houses with an employee from the rubber shoe factory. You can't go wrong by asking her!"
