Wang Minghao went to Beijing, and Wang Li felt empty inside, so she wanted to sign a contract with Wang Minghao's uncle and the police chief as soon as possible. She met his uncle and invited the police chief to his house to sign the contract together.
Unexpectedly, the director was the same age as her and was also a relative of her uncle. This made things easy. She just handed over all the procedures to him.
Wang Li waited for a day with good weather and went out for a walk, wanting to take a good look at Shanghai in the 1940s. Suddenly, she remembered that before renovating the bathing center, she had to put away the treasures in the basement.
I almost forgot, so I immediately hailed a rickshaw and went to No. 68 Main Road. I put all the boxes in the basement and put them in a space. Then I thought I should go back and look again, so I went to other places to look and found two boxes under a locust tree in the yard before I went home.
Everything was ready, so Wang Li started looking for someone to renovate the bathing center. She first connected the front yard and the back yard, and renovated the small building in the back into guest rooms. Each room had a large bed, two chairs, a small table, a mirror, a wardrobe for hanging clothes, two bedside tables next to the bed, and a small room next to it as a bathroom, with a toilet, a shower, a sink and a mirror. Each room had the same configuration.
Front decoration: As soon as you enter the bath center, there is a hall with a row of sofas and coffee tables. In front is the cashier counter, and on the side is the employee lounge.
On the left is the door to the men's bathroom. After entering, there is a row of changing lockers in front. Going further back, there is a row of lockers for bathrobes and yukatas. There is a row of mirrors on the side, chairs in the front, and a small sofa and table in the middle for guests to rest. There is a step in front of the rest area, and there are lockers on the left and right sides of the steps for towels.
A little further past the cabinet is a row of mirrors. In front of the mirror is a sink with soap, toothbrushes, and cups on it. On the side of the sink is a row of ten small shower cubicles. Each cubicle has four shower heads. There are holes in the wall where shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel are placed. This is the bathing area for individual guests. There is a door at the back, and there are ten cubicles. Each cubicle has a shower head and a bed, and there are four bath scrubbers inside.
There are two hot spring areas in the middle, one is 2 meters long, 4 meters wide and 38 degrees, and the other is 2 meters wide and 10 meters long and 48 degrees. On the left is the scrubbing area, with 2 beauty beds, all made of good wood and very sturdy.
Passing the clothing area and walking to the left is the lounge, with a small sofa and a long table in the middle for guests to eat.
On both sides of the left wall, there is a glass house with a door. The top is raised like the earthen kang in the north, and the kang is covered with mats woven from thatch, which is very warm to lie on.
Directly behind the rest area is the massage area, which has a row of reclining sofas where you can massage your feet or get a massage. There are baffles on the sides to block the view from outside.
There is a bathroom on the side of the rest area entrance. There is a washbasin at the entrance and ten squat toilets inside, each separated into a room.
There is a bar against the wall right in front of the rest area, on which are placed juice, tea, fruit tea, egg tarts, shachima, biscuits, tea eggs, red date paste, raw beans, popcorn, roasted sweet potatoes, French fries, hamburgers, fried chicken, beef jerky, and grilled sausages. There is a small kitchen behind the bar and a door on the side of the bar leading to the accommodation area at the back. The trunk of the locust tree is also hidden inside the corridor, and the top of the tree is on the roof outside.
Wang Li even paid a high price to buy the yard of a neighboring family and connected them together to provide accommodation for her employees. The employees were provided with food and accommodation, and their wages were high, so the company was fully hired in just a few days.
When Wang Li was almost done with the decoration, she placed advertisements in newspapers and made a lot of invitation letters, which she asked Wang Minghao's uncle and the police chief to give out to others.
It was published in the newspaper that there was a 50% discount on the opening sale, and there were gifts. If you deposit 1,000 dollars for a membership card, you would get a 20% discount, and also a phonograph. If you deposit 8,000 dollars, you would get a footbath, which is 15% off. If you deposit 5,000 dollars, you would get an electronic watch, which has men's and women's models, at a 10% discount. If you deposit 1,000 dollars, you would get a bottle of Bamboo Leaf Green Wine, which is 95% off. If you deposit 1,000 dollars, you would get a bottle of French perfume, which is 98% off.
