Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 146
Zhang Dezhen returned to his residence in a daze, restless and restless all afternoon.

For a while, I thought it would be great to get the 2 yuan of the buyout; for a while, I imagined that if Xu’s fast food’s lo-mei restaurant became a big success, with tens of thousands of sales, wouldn’t it be a big loss if I chose the buyout up?

After pacing [-] times in the small living room, Zhang Dezhen finally took out his mobile phone and called his wife.

"Hey, Ah Meng, yes, there is something I can't make up my mind about, please help me look."

As Zhang Dezhen explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly, the breathing on the other side of the microphone became heavy and rapid: "Is it true what you said?"

"Yes, my prescription is said to be a family heirloom, but the handling methods of every household here are not much different. It is already very rare for such a prescription to sell for 2 yuan." Then Zhang Dezhen changed his voice: "But the boss His foresight is very good, he set up a fast food restaurant in just two or three months, and now he wants to open a lo mei restaurant, maybe he thinks there is a market for it.”

After the words were finished, the wife on the other side also fell silent, as if weighing the pros and cons of the two choices.

But at this time, a young male voice came from the other side of the microphone.

"Brother-in-law, since the boss opened an independent lo-mei shop because he thought there was a market, why don't you come out and do it yourself. You can earn more or less by yourself. Isn't it better than working for others?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Immediately afterwards, the wife's reprimand and the brother-in-law's rebuttal came from the other side of the microphone.

"I'm not right. You can do it for your boss, and you can do it yourself. Why give up this opportunity to make money to others?"

The following words became more and more blurred, and Zhang Dezhen didn't hear clearly, but it is undeniable that the words of his brother-in-law opened up a new way of thinking for him.

Indeed, if you do it yourself, you can do it, and if you do it for your boss, you can do it for yourself; if you do it yourself, you can earn one thousand, then you will get one thousand, and if you do it for the boss, you will get fifty if you earn one thousand.

"Dezhen, don't listen to his nonsense, our family can't afford this."

His wife's voice came from the microphone, waking Zhang Dezhen from his fantasy.

"I didn't tell you that your work was not going well before. At the beginning of the month, Yao'er was admitted to the hospital again. The doctor urged us to have an operation as soon as possible, and it would be dangerous to delay. Mom, her feet started to hurt again recently. The medicine I took last time didn’t work, so I have to go to the hospital.”

The wife babbled a lot, and every word seemed to hit Zhang Dezhen's heart with a heavy hammer, not only the flame that had just risen, but even the firewood pile was smashed to pieces.

The question is back to the original point, which one to choose?

This time, both husband and wife fell into silence.

They want both the buyout fee of 2 yuan and the subsequent share.

In the silence, Zhang Dezhen began to pace the small living room again, round and round.
2 yuan is a buyout money. After taking this money, the sales volume in the future has nothing to do with me, whether it is good or bad;

The share is a continuous income. If the sales volume is good in the future, I can simply make money lying down; but if the sales volume is not good, I may not even be able to earn back the 2 yuan buyout money.

In Zhang Dezhen's mind, when he first came to Xu's fast food restaurant as a rider, there was only one store at that time, and the daily sales volume was only about [-] copies.

But now, in just over half a month, the second store and the third store have been leased; the daily sales have also increased from about 600 copies to more than [-] copies.

The lo mei shop will be opened in the Yinxing office building. Zhang Dezhen knows that the rent of this place is not usually high.

Presumably Xu An has confidence in lo-mei, so he chose to open an independent lo-mei shop in this place where every inch of land is expensive.

Today, the boss is still wearing a suit and leather shoes to get a new order. If he can get this new order, the daily sales of boxed meals will be four to five thousand copies.

Since the box lunch business can be managed so well, the lo mei business must not be bad, right?

Zhang Dezhen bit his teeth again and again, blood oozes from his lower lip, the blood slowly slid along the corner of his lip to his chin, and dripped onto his chest, waking him up from his thoughts.

Since there is no hope of opening a store by yourself, why not try to see if you can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!

Near the Silver Star office building.

Xu An rode an electric tricycle and wandered around the streets and alleys here, looking for a store with a suitable rent, a suitable size, and a suitable location.

From three o'clock to four o'clock, I looked at three or five stores, but none of them met Xu An's needs.

Either the price is high, or it is too big or too small, or the location is too remote.

If this is just a transit point for selling boxed meals, then it doesn't matter if it's a bit off.

But after two o'clock in the afternoon, this store will still be used to sell lo mei, if it is too out of the way, it will not work.

After spending another 10 minutes wandering around the two residential areas, Xu An finally gave up on the idea of ​​finding a suitable store today. Thirsty and tired, he found a convenience store, bought a bottle of water and sat in front of the convenience store. Under the shade of trees, rest on stone benches.

At this time, two old men in white vests, flip flops, and cattail fans were walking towards the convenience store, and they were arguing with each other as they walked.

"I told you that your house should be used as a utility room. I won't say it's small. The first three or four store owners closed down after less than three months. Your house has bad feng shui and is not suitable for business. .”

"Why is it inappropriate? I think the location is very good. It was because the previous shopkeepers had no luck for wealth, and even made my prosperous house look moldy." The uncle smacked his mouth twice as he spoke. : "Take the radio over there later, and play the Great Mercy and Great Compassion Mantra for two days to drive away the bad luck."

"Old feudalism, old superstition, and old foolishness." Another uncle waved his cattail fan with disdain on his face.

"Throw away the grapefruit leaves hanging at the door if you have the ability."

"That's different. I'm trying to please you, not your feudal and superstitious ideas."

"You are the one with the most unreasonable reasoning." The uncle wanted to refute, but when he looked up, he saw Xu An staring at him with bright eyes. It sounds a bit unfamiliar, what are you doing here?"

"Master, where is the store you just mentioned, and how is the location, can you take me to have a look?"

Looking at the store?
The two uncles looked at each other suspiciously, then examined Xu An again, and after confirming that the young man was alone and not threatening, he asked, "Which agency are you, and how does your store charge you?"

Xu An was stunned for a moment, then looked down at himself. The white shirt, black suit pants, black leather shoes and the back of his hair were combed back. It really looked like he was working in an agency.

Thinking that his age didn't seem to be convincing, Xu An simply followed the old man's words and said: "Our company has just opened, and we are currently collecting store information, and no intermediary fees will be charged for the stores that are sold within this week."

No brokerage fee?

The old man got excited when he heard this, since it's free, there's no need to give it a shot!

However, the uncle has seen a lot of the market, and he is also very vigilant. He asked very cautiously: "No fees are charged for the whole process? Don't make any introduction fees, meeting fees, etc. in the end when the deal is completed."

"No." Xu An patted his chest and replied, "I won't charge you a penny. If you do, come to me and I'll make up for you twice."

Hearing Xu An's words, the old man felt relieved a little, turned around and led the way ahead, and muttered: "I only gave you this opportunity because you were about the same age as my grandson. Don't do any deceitful activities, I don't need you to double the money when the time comes, you just pay me the money."

These words made Xu An a little dumbfounded. It seemed that he had disguised himself well, and this uncle really regarded himself as an intermediary.

After walking three hundred meters with the old man, we turned into an old street.

This old street looks like it has been around for a while, the concrete floor has some cracks and potholes, and some weeds come out of these cracks; however, the street is quite spacious and can accommodate four people at the same time. Shops, most of which are restaurants, ranging from desserts and snacks to rice and noodle meals.

The old man walked to the third store at the intersection, took out his key and opened the rolling gate to invite Xu An to go in and watch.

Although the store looks a bit dilapidated from the outside, it looks good on the inside. I don't know if it is well maintained or because the previous owners have renovated it.

The walls are white, and the floor is covered with gray shiny and dirt-resistant tiles. The entire store is very square and square.

The inside of the store is kept very clean, the kind of cleanliness where thieves pass by and have to swear twice.

Xu An estimated the location. After pushing the two freezers to one side, just half of the remaining space can be used for lunch boxes, which is very suitable as a transfer station.

"Master, what is the expected rent for this store?" Xu Zhuangan pretended to take out his mobile phone and asked after taking pictures of the inside and outside of the store.

"We Ming people don't talk dark words. The rent here is 700 yuan a month, so I will pay according to this. Although my store is a little smaller than other stores, but the location is good, you can see it from the road outside. .” The uncle said very boldly.

Three thousand seven hundred yuan, the price is not expensive.

Xu An looked up at the Yinxing office building not far away, and estimated the distance between the two. It was about [-] meters. The distance was a little far, but it was still within Xu An's acceptance range.

After exchanging contact information with the uncle, Xu An said goodbye and left, sat in front of the convenience store until 05:30, and walked to the old street to observe the flow of people there.

As soon as I reached the intersection, I saw office workers passing by in twos and threes, as well as many students in school uniforms.

Some office workers went to the gate of the nearby residential area and swiped their cards to enter the community; some turned to eat in the fast food restaurant on the old street.
The flow of people, the location, and the size of the store fully meet Xu An's requirements, so it's up to you.

Just in case Ye Changmeng was intercepted, Xu An took out his mobile phone and called the uncle.

"Hey, Uncle Chen, it's me, Xiao Xu from the intermediary company. Some people are satisfied with the photos of this store and want to rent it."

"That's right, it's for dry food, you know the lo mei, right, that's right, it's for duck necks, duck feet, and duck wings."

"Okay, we are at the door of the store now, you can see me when you come over."

Less than 5 minutes after hanging up the phone, the figure of Uncle Chen, wearing a white vest, stepping on flip-flops, and waving a cattail fan, appeared in front of Xu An.

"Xiao Xu, why are you alone, and you said you want to see the person in the shop?"

Xu An showed Uncle Chen a standard smile with eight teeth: "Uncle Chen, I am the one who wants to rent your shop."

　It seems that Fuyang has recovered. I had a sore throat all day yesterday, and today I have a low-grade fever of 37.4.
　　(Spoiler, because it’s just started, Xu An is not sure how big the sales of this lo mei will be in Haishi. When the business grows, the share given to Zhang Dezhen will be recovered in a reasonable way. Light spray)
