start with a pet store

Chapter 927 Everyone who meets you has a share

The boss seemed to understand Lu Jingxing's confusion and said embarrassedly: "It turns out that my girlfriend is responsible for this alone. She knows a little bit of medical skills..."

Yang Pei was actually still very curious about why this boss kept talking about his girlfriend, and this girlfriend had become a mysterious figure.

Song Yuan and Lu Jingxing were actually a little curious, but this was the boss's family affair after all, and it didn't seem easy to talk about. They, as grown men, couldn't just ask.

So everyone turned their attention to the cat in the house.

The boss has taken out the few remaining cat food in the store.

Lu Jingxing looked at it carefully and found that the cat food was not expired, but the quantity was not much, and it was probably not enough to feed these little guys.

After several food boxes were filled, Lu Jingxing took the initiative to say, "Boss, why don't you tell me how you plan to sell it? We came here with sincerity, so please give us a suitable price."

The boss clapped his hands and said, "I'm open to any offer. I'll just see how it's not too troublesome. It would be best if it can be done today. I've discussed this with Mr. Xi a few times, and I trust your character. I don't know much about these things either, so you guys can give me a price."

Lu Jingxing had already walked around the house. He asked, "Boss, when will the lease of this house end? How much is it per month?"

"There are still five months left on the lease. We paid annually. My girlfriend has been gone for two months, so there are still five months left. The rent is relatively cheap in this area, less than 10,000 yuan a month. I am really not good at dealing with cats and dogs."

Lu Jingxing nodded to show his understanding.

Xi Wenxin looked at Lu Jingxing in shock: "Lu, do you want to buy this store?"

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly: "Just ask..."

The girl outside heard this and said happily, "Really? Boss, will you open a store here?"

Her cat looked much better. The girl ran around the neighborhood today but couldn't find a pet store. It would be great if they could open one here.

Lu Jingxing smiled and said, "This matter is not easy to handle. I think the main reason is that I am a bit far away, and it is not easy to recruit people here temporarily."

"Lu, this matter is not difficult to handle. If possible, I can be responsible for this side..." Xi Wenxin said excitedly.

Song Yuan looked at the two of them in surprise: "Are you two serious?"

Lu Jingxing was waiting for Xi Wenxin to say this. When he heard him say this, he smiled and said, "We'll talk about this later. Let's ask the boss first."

"On my side, if you really want to buy the store, I won't ask for an exorbitant price. You have seen these cats, they are all purebred cats, you can just pay according to the market price. As for the storefront fee, I transferred 100,000 yuan from you at that time. I don't know if you can use my decoration, so I won't calculate the cost separately. And then, the rent for five months is also 50,000 yuan. I have roughly calculated the supplies inside, and so far, it's about 40,000 yuan. There is also a deposit of 20,000 yuan, the total is..." The boss took out the calculator at the front desk and started typing.

"The fixed price is 210,000, plus the cost of the cats, right..." Lu Jingxing said.

The boss looked up and said, "Ah, yes, two hundred and ten thousand..."

Lu Jingxing looked at Xi Wenxin and Song Yuan. He could accept this price. Although it was his first time to come to this place, he had seen it when he was having breakfast. This location had a lot of traffic and the streets in front and behind were connected to the residential area. The girl just now also said that there were no pet shops in the nearby streets. He felt that the girl was not a shill and what she said was probably true.

Xi Wenxin was a little hesitant. He didn't have that much money at the moment. However, maybe influenced by Lu Jingxing, he was really interested in opening a pet shop. Although he didn't know how to treat, opening a shop to rescue small animals was something he really wanted to do.

However, before Lu Jingxing came, or before Lu Jingxing asked his boss these things, he had never thought about this matter. He didn't think that far. All he had been doing was to do everything he could to help any stray children he saw. But if possible, he was also willing to concentrate on this career.

However, according to a rough calculation, it would take at least 300,000 yuan to open this store. He didn't have much savings, and Lu Jingxing had to invest everything. Could he manage it? Could he do it well? He didn't have much confidence.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jingxing heard that he was already negotiating the price with the boss: "I won't pay you more, 150,000, the price of the cat is another one, you think about it, or we just want the cats, we want the cats because we think if they are here, if they are still like this, they will probably starve to death. I don't want to say anything else, we came here specifically for these little guys, you see..."

"Fifteen thousand is too little. I paid a transfer fee of one hundred thousand at the beginning, and now I still have seventy thousand for rent and deposit, and there are so many medicines and so on..." The boss turned around and pointed at his shelf: "You can clean up mine and use it directly without any renovation. We have only been open for less than a year, and the decoration is still very new..."

"But our later investment will be relatively large, we need to buy machines and hire people. I think this position is okay." Lu Jingxing squatted down and stroked a blue and white cat that was rubbing against him. The little guy was so thin that his face had become a triangle, but it could be seen that he was usually very affectionate and kept rubbing against Lu Jingxing's trouser legs.

There are far more than the dozen or so cats Xi Wenxin said here, there are almost thirty of them.

It is true that many of them are very expensive cats, but now they have been wasted and are in a state of disrepair.

He roughly calculated the price in his mind: "How about this, Boss, I won't tell you it's too low. Count the cats in, a total of 170,000. Then, if possible, we can find the landlord and re-sign the contract."

"Seventeen thousand! Too little, too little..." The boss kept shaking his head and repeating it over and over again.

"Oh, there are quite a few bosses now. If you take over, let us do the same. To be honest with you, we had no intention of taking over this store before we came. You see, I, Doctor Lu, act on my impulse. If you miss this opportunity, you will lose this store. Think about it, if we hadn't taken over, your decoration and goods would not be able to be exchanged for money, right..." Song Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

He understood clearly that Lu Jingxing definitely had this plan before he came. After seeing the location and the store, he had made up his mind. Once Lu Jingxing was sure, he would naturally support him, both financially and spiritually.

The boss was silent for a while: "Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call..."

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, we are not in a hurry. If you are sure, we can arrange to drive the car over and bring the cat food and other things we brought to the little guys..."

The boss looked back at the little ones who were either sleeping or playing in the room, shook his head slightly and walked out.

Xi Wenxin looked at Lu Jingxing: "Lu, are you serious? Do you have any plans?"

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "Not yet. To be honest, I decided on this idea on a whim. What made me decide was coming here and seeing the geographical location, and then what you said before."

"Are you sure I can take responsibility?" Xi Wenxin asked.

"Can't you?" Lu Jingxing asked back.

"If you think I can do it, then I definitely can do it..." Xi Wenxin said seriously.

"Oh my...are you two too corny? You're giving me goose bumps. It's just investing in a store, what's the big deal..." Song Yuan hugged his arms and bared his teeth exaggeratedly.

Lu Jingxing and Xi Wenxin couldn't help laughing: "I knew you were a rich man, but I didn't expect you to be so rich. How about you have a share, too?"

"Okay, I'll make one portion, and you can divide it up as you see fit..." Song Yuan waved his hand and said very straightforwardly.

"Do you think the boss will agree..." Xi Wenxin was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, if he gives it to us, he can still get back the hundreds of thousands. If he doesn't give it to us, the hundreds of thousands will definitely be gone." Song Yuan saw people's hearts very straightforwardly. Xi Wenxin looked at Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing also smiled and nodded, he also agreed with this point.

Sure enough, not long after the three of them finished talking, the boss walked in.

The three of them looked up at him at the same time.

The boss scratched his head and said, "I called my girlfriend. 170,000 is fine. When can the deal be closed at the earliest?"

"We are available at any time. Please ask the landlord to come over. We will draft the contract first and then go through the procedures..." This time Lu Jingxing said directly without any hesitation.

The boss nodded: "I also hope it will be done as soon as possible. I will draft the contract and leave it to you. I will make the appointment with the landlord. I will call Mr. Xi after the appointment is made..."

He seemed a little impatient to leave here.

Lu Jingxing and the other two nodded. The store was here and the cats were here too. They were not afraid that the boss would change his mind again. They would also need time to sort out the things that happened next, so they also needed time.

After hearing this, the boss strode out without any hesitation.

Lu Jingxing waited until the boss left before turning around and saying to Song Yuan, "How about you drive the car over here so we can unload the goods? The cat food here isn't very good, and it's not enough for these little guys to eat for two meals."

Song Yuan nodded: "I'll go, you guys sort it out here..."

"Do you remember where you parked the car?" Xi Wenxin asked.

"Tsk, you underestimate me..." Song Yuan said as he walked outside.

Lu Jingxing smiled and shook his head. He was not sure whether Song Yuan knew where the car was parked.

The alleys here are all similar. He noticed it when he came, but he doesn't know if Song Yuan noticed it. However, it's only that far away. Even if he really doesn't know, there's still time for Xi Wenxin to pick him up.

So he instructed Xi Wenxin and they started cleaning.

Scooped out all the cat litter and replaced it with new one.

Then mop the floor and clear out all the expired medicines in the cabinet.

The two of them divided the work and cooperated. An hour later, Xi Wenxin looked towards the door again and again: "It's been an hour. Should we post a missing person notice..."

Only then did Lu Jingxing remember that Song Yuan had really been gone for almost an hour.

He wiped his sweat and said, "I guess he really can't find the place..."

"This guy, let's call and ask..." Xi Wenxin had dealt with Song Yuan several times and knew that the guy was very concerned about his reputation. He estimated that if they didn't look for him, he would search several nearby alleys.

"Song, where have you been?" Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Hey, it should be soon..." Song Yuan smiled awkwardly: "Why are all these places the same? Why don't you ask Xi to come over? I really can't get a taxi..."

Lu Jingxing spoke on the loudspeaker, and Xi Wenxin laughed out loud: "It's not that you can't find it, it's that you don't want to clean up. Come on, I've almost finished my job, and we'll ask the hourly workers to do the rest. Let's go back together. Lu, you should go back too, and have a rest first. You need to keep a clear mind to sign the contract in the afternoon."

"That's true. I'm at...ah, I saw the noodle shop from this morning. I'm waiting for you at the noodle shop..." Song Yuan said excitedly.

He felt very strange because he had clearly left this place in the morning. Moreover, he was curious as to why he couldn't find it.

He found the same seat he had sat in the morning, ordered a pot of tea, and waited for Lu Jingxing and the others to arrive.

In the store, the little girl's cat had already received an injection, and Lu Jingxing prescribed some medicine for her, but the girl kept saying that she definitely didn't know how to give an injection.

There was no other way, so Lu Jingxing had to say: "How about this, come back at this time tomorrow, I think I should still be here, give it another shot tomorrow, and you'll have to come by yourself from now on..."

Although the girl was reluctant, she still nodded: "Okay..."

The little guy in her arms meowed softly and rubbed his little head against her hand.

The girl walked away holding the little one in her arms, looking back every few steps.

"Let's go, Song is still waiting..." Lu Jingxing said to Xi Wenxin.

The two closed the door and soon arrived at the shop where they had breakfast.

Song Yuan saw the two of them and smiled awkwardly: "I was waiting for you guys on purpose. Come and have a drink first, then go back and rest..."

Lu Jingxing and Xi Wenxin looked at each other, and without pointing it out to him, they just laughed and sat down.

"Lu, have you really thought it over? You're planning to open one here, right..." Song Yuan asked when he saw the two of them sitting down.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "I think this location is good. Xi also said that there are indeed no other pet shops nearby, let alone pet hospitals."

"Of course we can, but where can we find doctors?" Song Yuan asked worriedly.

"I can apply for a work-free period for my job, but why don't I just quit and do this full-time?" Xi Wenxin asked inquiringly.

"Full-time, can you do that?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"Of course I can. I'm happy to do it. But I'm still a little afraid that I won't be able to do it well..." Xi Wenxin said.

"Don't be afraid. If we really want to open this store, we have to redecorate it and you need to go for certification. After we sign the contract, you will come back to Long'an with me and I will guide you for two months. At the same time, you go for the certification. After the store is opened, we can recruit people. These are not big problems..." Lu Jingxing already had a plan in mind.
