"Who is it?"
Zhang Hongmei looked behind her but didn't see anyone.
"Is there a fourth person who hasn't come yet?"
Now it was Zhou Wanyu's turn to laugh.
"My sister-in-law is suggesting we go to the south and hire a barber! Doesn't he have accommodations upstairs? He'll have food and lodging provided, and besides a fixed monthly salary, he'll also get commissions. He'll get a certain amount for every hair perm!"
Seeing Zhang Hongmei's eyes light up, Song Shiwei continued, "Besides, you can also learn how to perm hair from him. I think you have a natural talent for this, and I believe you'll be an excellent barber in the future! When the time comes, we might even open branches, lots of them! We'll make tons of money! And you don't have to worry about the initial investment. You own the barber shop, and Wanyu and I will pay for it. We'll be partners!"
This really touched Zhang Hongmei's heart.
She really likes hairdressing. Song Shiwei's words not only affirmed her talent, but also gave her a blueprint.
Who doesn’t want to make money? She dreams of making money and living a life of counting money every day!
If it is true as Song Shiwei said, and they go to the south to invite a hair perm master with good skills, then their business will definitely be booming.
She even fantasized about counting money every night!
"Okay, okay, that's great!"
"My uncle went to Pengcheng and opened a clothing factory with his friend. I can go to my uncle and ask him to recommend a good barber for me!"
Song Shiwei thought of this. They didn't know anyone in the south, but Zhang Hongmei's uncle was in the south, and she had a house and connections.
Partnering with her would save you a lot of trouble.
"Great! If that's the case, let's split it this way. Wanyu and I will each contribute 1,500 yuan upfront, a total of 3,000 yuan, which will be used to renovate the house and buy other facilities to keep the barber shop running in the early stages. So, each of us will get 30%. Since the shop is yours and you're responsible for finding the staff, you'll get 40%, the lion's share!"
"After the shop opens, if you also do haircuts and perms, you'll be just like the hired hairdresser. For every haircut or perm you do, you'll get a monthly commission on top of your base salary! What do you think?"
Zhang Hongmei felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.
"This idea was originally yours, and you paid for it, how can this be so embarrassing..."
"What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Even Wanyu smiled and patted her shoulder.
"Hongmei, if we didn't have you, we wouldn't be able to open this store. Or, if it was just the two of us, it would probably be a lot more troublesome! So, don't feel any pressure! Let's just work hard and strive to make a lot of money soon!"
Zhang Hongmei was almost crying with excitement.
"Okay, let's make a lot of money together! Don't worry, I, Zhang Hongmei, am a straightforward person. What's mine is mine, and if it's not mine, I won't take a penny! I will definitely not take advantage of you!"
Song Shi smiled and said, "You guys will have to worry about this in the future. It's not just Hongmei. Wanyu will also have to get paid if she helps out in the store. When it's busy, she'll not only have to help collect money, but also maintain order. She might even have to wash hair and clean! She'll be busy!"
She pointed to her belly and said, "I won't be able to help you much later! I feel guilty for taking 30%!"
Zhang Hongmei and Zhou Wanyu both laughed.
"What are you talking about? This business was your idea. It wouldn't work without you!"
Since the three of them have decided on this matter.
Zhang Hongmei was so happy that it seemed as if her future had suddenly become bright.
She even felt that there was a lot of money waving at her.
Anyway, no one comes to cut hair at this time.
She simply closed the shop.
"I can't wait any longer! I have to call my uncle and ask him to find a good master for me!"
Zhou Wanyu looked at the barber shop behind her and touched her chin in thought: "This house needs to be renovated too!"
Zhang Hongmei handed the keys to them and said, "Just watch it for now. I'll go make a phone call!"
Song Shiwei and Zhou Wanyu entered the house, closed the door, and wrote a sign saying "Closed" on a cardboard box and put it on the window outside.
The two began to discuss the specific decoration matters in detail.
Song Shiwei pointed at the windowsill and said, "I suggest we make that window bigger and replace the door. We should also install a rotating three-color column lamp like those in the south. In addition to repainting the walls, the mirror, mirror stand, and chairs all need to be replaced!"
Zhou Wanyu nodded as she listened to her: "That's right, this chair is too broken, it must be replaced!"
Song Shiwei pointed to the area against the wall inside.
"We should put some reclining chairs that look like beds here and there to make it easier for us to wash customers' hair! And for the walls, we can buy some posters of popular movie stars with the latest fashionable hairstyles. Maybe some girls who haven't decided on a haircut will follow suit!"
"That's great! Why didn't I think of that?"
The more Zhou Wanyu listened to her, the more excited she became!
Song Shiwei found a pen and paper, and started measuring and drawing while chatting with Zhou Wanyu.
How big should the glass be? How should the wall be modified? How should the mirror be designed? How should the shampooing area be arranged?
Song Shiwei discussed everything with her!
When Zhang Hongmei came back, the sketches in their hands had already been completed.
When I showed it to her, Zhang Hongmei was so happy.
"Okay, okay, this design looks great!"
And she also brought back good news.
"My uncle was very happy when he heard that I wanted to open a barber shop with you. He said that he went to the south and found that barbering in the south is completely different from ours in Beijing. The hairstyles they do are beautiful and fashionable. Even the barber shop is decorated with gold and jade, it's magnificent and beautiful! There are so many lights inside!"
"There's no barber shop like this in Beijing right now. If we open one now, it'll definitely be the first! My uncle is very supportive! He even promised to help me find a skilled barber! He'll get back to me in the next couple of days!"
Song Shiwei and Zhou Wanyu were also happy when they heard it.
Zhou Wanyu excitedly pulled Zhang Hongmei and said, "If that's the case, let's get started! Hongmei, let's go to the glass factory and order some glass and mirrors. We also need to talk to the renovation team about whether we can start work as soon as possible!"
Just then, Song Wenlin, who had just arrived at the hot pot restaurant next door with his men, heard the noise and came over.
When they heard that they wanted a decoration team, they immediately dragged over Old Li, who was responsible for their decoration.
"Uncle Li is the best decorator in Beijing. If you need any renovations, you can leave it to him!"
Old Li also hurriedly smiled and nodded: "That's right, that's right, Xiao Song and I are old acquaintances. If you want to renovate your house, I will definitely have someone do it well for you, and I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
