Gu Anran was still immersed in the joy of being a "landlady" and couldn't extricate herself from it, while the two brothers, Mei Wen and Mei Wu, strolled over from the street.
They've been shopping for two hours now, since early morning.
Several storefronts had "For Sale" signs, but when they inquired about the details, they were surprised to find that the transfer fee was tens of thousands of yuan, which made the two brothers immediately back down.
Moreover, those storefronts are sandwiched in the middle, surrounded by restaurants, so their location isn't great.
It's a sweltering day.
The two brothers ate ice cream and walked away from the sun.
Upon seeing Wu An, they greeted each other.
Mei Wen and Mei Wu were seeing Gu Anran for the first time and seemed a little awkward. Gu Anran, on the other hand, was poised and generous, calling Wu An "brother." Once they got engaged, they would all be relatives.
After inquiring about the situation, Wu An learned that storefronts were hard to find, so he looked at the two storefronts that were about to be vacated, both of which were clothing stores.
Since he arrived, even though it's not a holiday, not a single person has gone in to browse. Business is visibly terrible.
Mei Wen shook his head and said, "The foot traffic here isn't good either."
Mei Wu did some research and said, "Brother, but this place isn't far from the dock and the market. At the fork in the road to the south, one road leads to the dock and the other to the market. It's a very convenient route. If we make our signboard taller, bigger, and brighter, we'll definitely get business."
"I think it's better than Lijie. Why don't we ask around?"
The main thing is that he has already seen two places with "For Sale" signs.
Mei Wen nodded.
Wu An stopped the two men and said, "No need to ask."
The two brothers turned to look at him.
Wu An put his arm around Gu Anran's slender waist and said with a smile, "Let me reintroduce you. The young lady standing in front of you is the landlady of all the shops from here to there."
Gu Anran raised her hand and waved, "Hello, you don't need to call me landlady, just call me Anran."
The two brothers were dumbfounded.
Wu An explained, and the two brothers were even more surprised.
That's incredibly extravagant!
"So this is how rich people make money, huh?"
The two of them were having some doubts.
The group arrived at the milk tea shop, turned on the air conditioning, and Wu An took out the house floor plan. Back then, Fang Chuan's father bought the land and built the house in a barren area.
Now, the new street has taken shape, and this house is located at the far east end.
Further east, it was still a wasteland.
Wu An pointed to the two storefronts on the far east side and said, "These two storefronts together are about fifty square meters, less than sixty square meters. The area is not very large."
"But look, as long as we open up this wall, there will be an open space. We can set up tables there, and this place faces the road to the dock."
What do you guys think?
The brothers Mei Wen and Mei Wu said in unison, "Great, great! If we could do it that way, that would be wonderful."
"Is this vacant lot also yours?"
Wu An was taken aback: "No."
The two brothers: "Huh?"
Wu An scratched his head and said, "I don't think setting up a few tables is a big problem, it's just a little troublesome to have to take them down and put them up every day."
"I'll inquire about it. If I can get it, that would be great."
Mei Wu said, "A'an, then I'll leave it to you."
Mei Wen said, "Ah An, you've given us so much advice and helped us settle things at the storefront, I can't just leave without showing my appreciation. I'll give you 20% of the fast food restaurant's shares."
Mei Wu chimed in, "Yes, yes, I'll also contribute 20%."
"Logically speaking, if you have this idea, you can find people to make it happen on your own. Logically and morally, you should be the major shareholder."
Wu An was both amused and exasperated.
So he owns 40% of the shares and has become the major shareholder of the fast food restaurant?
He thought for a moment and said, "I will still rent this storefront to you, and you can pay the rent as usual."
"As for the shares, I'll take 20%."
"Of these two 20% shares, one 10% is the idea I provided, and the other 10% is for the future expansion and strengthening of the fast food restaurant. I can provide some development plans."
“I don’t invest any money, nor do I participate in the specific operations. A 20% share is quite a lot.”
Upon hearing this, Mei Wen and Mei Wen nodded in agreement, their previously anxious mood inexplicably relaxing considerably.
I don't know why.
They felt more at ease after Wu An took 20% of the shares.
...
Wu An and Gu Anran did not linger in the town and went home separately.
According to the forecast on Moji Weather, the typhoon is heading straight for them and will make landfall here.
Many families are making preparations.
It's a typhoon.
Everyone has experience on how to deal with this.
Even with the best response, losses are inevitable.
This is a natural disaster.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate.
Wu An went to the dock, inspected the fishing boats, and tried every means to reinforce them. Finally, urged by his family, he returned home.
I didn't go to the old house.
Although the old house has been renovated, it may not be able to withstand a typhoon making direct landfall, and the house may not be safe. But being with family is a different story.
Old Meng was also there.
"Fortunately, the typhoon came early, it arrived tonight and will leave tomorrow."
"It won't interfere with your business the day after tomorrow."
"Ah An, your uncle has prepared a big red envelope for you."
Wu An handed him a cigarette and said, "Old Meng, we're not strangers, just a token gesture will do. You know I can make money now."
Old Meng took the cigarette and said, "Alright, alright, you've said all that."
Wu Yingwei was also on the phone, discussing matters with Wu Ping.
Engagement is not like marriage. Needless to say, family members are invited, and the guests are all close relatives or good friends. No villagers are invited.
Wu An didn't get involved, but he also took out his phone and pulled up his contacts.
After being reborn, he made quite a few friends.
Old Xie, Old Mai, Brother Qiang, Old Fang, President Qin, Yu Kailang and Liu Long, the Fan brothers—looking at them, there are quite a few friends, enough to fill a table.
night.
The typhoon made landfall as expected.
The sound of thunder and waves kept me awake; I simply couldn't sleep.
The whole family stood guard in fear. The windows had been reinforced as much as possible, and although they looked like they were about to collapse, they were actually not stable at all.
It's still ruined.
Next came the torrential rain and floodwaters.
The whole house was a mess, and everyone was in a terrible state.
Typhoons come quickly and leave quickly.
But no one could sleep that night. Wu An kept trying to contact Gu Anran, and the signal was lost for a while, but it was quickly restored. Gu Anran's family also suffered a disaster, but no one was hurt.
the next day.
They were all tidying up.
Wu Yingwei was not at home; after the typhoon, the village was busy with many things.
Statistical loss.
Personal injury.
The road is damaged.
etc……
Wu Yingwei was highly involved and even clashed with Chen Gui.
The house was also very busy. After most of the day, the house, which was originally a mess, was basically back to normal, except that the window could not be repaired for a while.
It's nothing.
We're used to several typhoons passing through every year.
The benefits, you know.
The typhoon brought with it the bounty of the sea, and now the docks are packed with people, carrying seafood in sacks, and some even driving tricycles to haul it away.
Not only can losses be recovered, but profits can also be made.
