Chapter 152 Buying a Shop



The orders for more than 60 pieces of goods were completed one after another. When Su Li asked Su Lan to deliver the goods to the steel plant, she gave Wu Yanhong 10 yuan and Wang Hong 14 yuan, which was considered their commission. She was given 5 yuan for each piece of clothing. Although it was a bit low, she had just started her business and thought it would be better to save some money.

Workers in the garment factory only earn 18 yuan a month. If they do good sales, they can get bonuses, but she doesn't want to set the commission too high at once, otherwise the workers will complain.

The two were very happy to receive the commission. Wang Hong knew that she had done a good job and Su Li would definitely not treat her unfairly. She just walked around from house to house in her skirt and got so many orders. She could imagine that their clothing business would be prosperous in the future.

Wu Yanhong was extremely excited when she received the money. Originally, she wanted to thank her sister-in-law and attract more customers to her garment factory. She didn't expect her sister-in-law to give her money, saying it was a commission. If she sold more in the future, she would even get a bonus.

They bought meat on the same day they received the money, and the family of four had a happy meal together. Of course, Suya could only drink milk.

However, Su Huai was happy that Su Li had found a way for Wu Yanhong to make money, but at the same time he felt guilty towards his sister.

She could think of all her brothers, nieces, and sisters-in-law at home, but they didn't have much ability to help her.

Su Li found a few shops in the county town and went to see them. There were few shops with proper storefronts. Since the policy was issued by the higher authorities, people who had street-facing houses in the county town had opened a wall on the first floor of their houses to separate a room and use it as a shop.

Similarly, many bungalows facing the street are like this. In order to earn more rent, many of them will rent out the entire yard.

The shop that Su Li liked was a bungalow with a yard. This shop was found by Xie Zhengchuan. Wang Hong also found a few, but Su Li didn't like any of them. Firstly, the shop was too small, and secondly, there was no space to use as a warehouse.

It just so happened that the room in this courtyard was a very large room, with an open wall facing the street. It was also not far from the nearby bookstore and supply chain. I heard that this place would be developed into a commercial street in the future.

There are five rooms, a bathroom and a kitchen in the yard. The house is very new. If the children want to come to the county town to go to school in the future, it would be nice to live here.

Su Li looked at the bungalow more and more satisfied. He thought it would be better to buy it just in case. Otherwise, when his business became prosperous in the future, he would be easily controlled by others.

The landlord's surname is Song. He is a gentleman who works in the Education Bureau and owns more than one house.

Su Li and Su Fang moved to the house. After Xie Zhengchuan brought them here in the morning, he was sent to work by Su Li. She couldn't let him sacrifice his job because of her own affairs.

"Mr. Song, this is it. I like this house very much. Although the rent of five dollars a month is more expensive than other shops, your yard is big, so it is still a good deal."

Mr. Song was also happy to hear his yard being praised so highly. He could tell from the other person's expression that he liked it very much. It was no wonder that he raised the price of the house. Ever since the policy came down from above, the prices of shops in the county town had all gone up.

"The price is a bit high, but all the furniture and stoves in the room are reserved for you. I can't say anything else, but this yard is quite convenient. If you need to cook or rest, you can just walk a few steps to your room."

Su Li smiled and continued, "Mr. Song, to be honest, I really like your yard. I wonder if you plan to sell it. The price is not a problem, just open your mouth."

Mr. Song is a relative of Xie Zhengchuan's family, and of course he knows that Xie Zhengchuan is a popular figure in the county.

Mr. Song thought for a while and said, "To be honest, my yard is nice, warm in winter and cool in summer. It was also a good material when I built the house. I wanted to sell it before, but few people can afford it. Are you sincere about buying it? Or are you just talking?"

When Su Li heard that the other party originally wanted to sell it, she hurriedly said, "I really want to buy it. To be honest, I have several children at home. I originally wanted to wait for two years and bring them to the county town to go to school when they are older. Your house is so good, it would be great if you can give it up."

"Okay, your husband and my nephew are friends, I won't lie to you, I'll give you a fair price, 660 yuan. You know, a yard like this in the countryside would cost at least 300 yuan, not to mention this is a county town, and it can still do business."

Su Li was tempted when he heard the price, but he also pretended to bargain for a while, and finally got it for 600 yuan, and agreed to pay the money and transfer the ownership the next day.

Su Li was happy, and Mr. Song was even happier. His current position might be able to be promoted. He originally wanted to sell the yard to improve his situation, but few people could afford it. Now someone was willing to pay so readily, and he was extremely happy. After the two of them had agreed, he went back happily.

In fact, the price is quite high. Mr. Song felt guilty when he quoted the price. Why?

Although many families in the county have converted their houses into shops, very few of them actually do business. Everyone's mindset is still fixed on a stable job. It is shameful to be a self-employed individual. After all, before this, doing business was considered speculation.

But Su Li didn't say much, because house prices would go up in the future anyway.

In the evening, after the family had washed up, Su Li started drawing on the kang again.

Xie Zhengchuan was using a brush to wipe his hair.

"Are you tired? You've been running all day. Take a break."

Su Li smiled at him, "Well~ I'm not tired. I really like this courtyard I saw today. The shop near the road is very large. I'm thinking about how to decorate it."

Xie Zhengchuan was also infected by her excited look when he saw her talking, "Oh~, do you have any ideas?"

"Look, I want to make the front door of this store out of glass, and the big window over here is also made of glass. This side is the counter, this side is the dressing mirror, and there are also fitting rooms. I want to put some decorations over here."

As she was talking, she was painting, trying to make the overall decoration conform to the modern aesthetics while highlighting some highlights. She used some modern tools to embellish the highlights.

For example, fitting mirrors, clothing displays, some jewelry accessories, tempered glass and rolling doors, spotlights and a series of other things.

Although Xie Zhengchuan didn't understand these things, he felt that she had a good idea. The two of them knew Su Li's secret tacitly, but they also understood each other's thoughts.

"Okay, when the house is transferred to you tomorrow, I'll help you find a few people to install it and make some furniture."

"Okay, hehe... You've worked hard, dear. You've been really tired because of my things during this period of time. Come, let me give you a massage."

Xie Zhengchuan was naturally very happy to accept Su Li's kindness, and the two of them laughed and joked for a while before taking a break.

The two old ladies who were taking care of the children smiled at each other. The long-lasting relationship between the two children was more important than anything else. They looked at the three children who were already fast asleep, and prepared to go to sleep while waving palm-leaf fans and squinting their eyes.
