Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 87 Buy a shop, decorate!

Pingyang County, Zhao Wenmu's new home.

What happened in the capital and Hebei Province will not affect the distant Pingyang County for the time being.

After moving to the county seat, Zhao Wenmu's energy has obviously improved a lot.

Correspondingly, Zhao Jing always yawns during the day.

"No, I can't agree to his weird requests in the future! My little brother is going too far, and he doesn't move by himself."

Zhao Jing came out of the bedroom rubbing her waist.

Zhao Wenmu is setting up breakfast in the living room.

She walked up to Zhao Wenmu, Zhao Wenmu stretched out her foot obediently, and she stepped on it lightly.

Zhao Wenmu is used to it, this girl will step on her when she gets angry.

The more Zhao Jing thought about the scene last night, the more she blushed.

How could she agree to those demands!

"Put your foot out, and I'll step on it!"

She pouted.

Zhao Wenmu kissed him as quickly as a bell jingle.

Zhao Xin raised her hand in mid-air, ready to push the door open.
I am underage!

In fact, she didn't know if she was an adult.

"Sister, I plan to buy the big warehouse behind the crayfish stall."

The three of them were eating and talking.

In the Zhao family, there is no rule of eating without talking.

Behind the crayfish stand is a large warehouse, the total area of ​​which is not smaller than the open space outside.

The warehouse was built two years ago, with a height of about 7 meters. A lot of cement and prefabricated panels were used, and the overall strength is very good.

Even better news is that it is the property of the state-run hotel, which was a wrong construction.

Li Guofu has been having a headache how to deal with it.

Throw it away, and you need maintenance costs; rent it out or sell it, no one wants it.

Its location is good, and the smaller frontage houses nearby are actually very easy to rent out. After all, handicraftsmen in Qilu Province can also open shops at this moment.

But it was too big for no one to eat it.

"Little brother, are you planning to use it to open a shop?"

Zhao Jing immediately got Zhao Wenmu's idea.

In fact, she has been thinking about this problem for a long time, the weather is going to turn cold, and their open-air stall won't last long.

The younger brother is still frantically hoarding crabs and crayfish, obviously he does not intend to close the business in winter.

Then there is only one way, open a shop!
"Yes, daughter-in-law, you are so smart!"

In front of Zhao Xin, Zhao Wenmu became more relaxed.

People who have resurrected their lives, what's the matter!
Zhao Xin is also more and more dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, you are not embarrassed, I am embarrassed!

She watched the theater with her rice bowl in her hand.

Zhao Jing glared at Zhao Wenmu, intending to make him calm down a bit.

"But self-employed people are not allowed to operate catering business now. We only have a business license for game trading. Can we sell cooked food?"

Zhao Jing thought carefully.

Zhao Wenmu didn't answer her.

Zhao Jing's eyes lit up.

"Should we do the same here as in the capital, let the self-employed operate catering and small commodities?"

She stretched out her small head to look at Zhao Wenmu.

There was light in the eyes.

Zhao Wenmu nodded.

"Buy it! Go buy it now!"

Zhao Jing put down her chopsticks heavily, stood up and was about to leave.

Zhao Xin shivered in fright.

"No! Let's buy all the shops on Yang Street and Guangyang Street, as many as you can!"

Zhao Jing waved her small hand and almost poked Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin quickly dodged.

"Third sister, you are so startled and frightening."

She smiled and poked Zhao Jing.

Zhao Wenmu thinks about it too, the opportunity to pick up money for nothing, if you don't pick it up, don't pick it up for nothing.

After breakfast, Zhao Wenmu went directly to the state-run restaurant.

Zhao Jing took Zhao Xin on the bicycle and hurried out.

"Director Li, I'm here today to discuss business with the state-run hotel."

Zhao Wenmu said with a smile.

It's not appropriate to call Brother Li when it comes to business.

"I want to buy the warehouse next to the convenience market. Shouldn't the hotel's leadership team discuss this matter? It's also necessary to avoid any gossip."

He added another sentence.

Li Guofu could tell that Zhao Wenmu was serious about business.

There were not many people in the leadership team of the state-run hotel, there were four people in total, and they all came here soon.

"I want to buy the warehouse on Guangyang Street. I don't know if the state-owned hotel has any interest. How much is the bid?"

Zhao Wenmu straightforwardly stated his intention.

"Let's discuss it, I'll go out for a cigarette first."

This matter is not a big deal, but after all it involves the disposal of state-owned assets, it still needs to be discussed in a meeting.

This will be shorter.

"Sell! Definitely sell!"

"That's right, Director Li, that warehouse has been in my hand, so let's sell it!"

"Correct!"

Everyone's opinion is very unified, the warehouse must be sold.

First of all, this warehouse is a rotten sore, and the state-run hotel has long intended to dispose of it.

Secondly, who doesn't know the relationship between Zhao Wenmu and Li Guofu, who would be stupid enough to say no to it?

"What about the price, how much do you think is suitable?"

Li Guofu asked.

This warehouse must be sold, which is also his idea.

But there is no need to sell it cheaply, Zhao Wenmu is not such a character, he is not greedy for such a small gain.

"The material cost of the warehouse was about 2000 yuan at the beginning, and the total construction cost was less than 3000 yuan. I think it is enough to sell it for 3000 yuan."

Accountants are the first to speak.

At this moment most people do not have the concept of land cost.

After all, the land is given by the state for nothing.

"It has been vacant for several years, and the inside is dirty and messy. If it can sell for 3000 yuan, it is really good."

"Yep!"

Others also expressed their views.

Li Guofu knew in his heart that the price was a bit lower.

After all, where is the location of the warehouse!

The reasonable price in his mind is 4000-4500 yuan.

Someone once came to ask about that warehouse. At that time, they just bid 4000 yuan, but they didn't reach an agreement in the end.

"The location of the warehouse is good, I think 4000 yuan is more appropriate."

He made a final decision and called Zhao Wenmu back.

"Xiao Zhao, the warehouse state-run hotel has agreed to sell it for 4000 yuan, what do you think?"

"Director Li, I am willing to bid 5000 yuan for the warehouse!"

There is no need for Zhao Wenmu to let Li Guofu take the risk of selling state-owned assets at a low price.

He himself did not want to take the risk.

Therefore, the price is still slightly higher as well.

Therefore, the price was finally set at 5000 yuan.

Of course, the agreement between the two parties does not mean that the warehouse can be sold to Zhao Wenmu immediately.

After all, it is still a process.

With Li Guofu personally watching, such a small matter could be resolved in two or three days.

However, after the two parties negotiated, Zhao Wenmu paid a deposit of 500 yuan, and he could have the right to use the warehouse before signing the agreement.

He raised the price by a full 1000 yuan, and the state-run hotel naturally didn't care about these two or three days.

After buying the warehouse, Zhao Wenmu immediately summoned people to start the renovation work.

This is the first priority right now!

Lao Zhao’s Crayfish is a high-end restaurant in Pingyang County, and the storefront must match the positioning.

The warehouse has been abandoned for a long time, and many walls inside and outside are moldy and falling off.

It has to be scraped off all over and reapplied.

Most importantly, the warehouse has no windows.

How can there be no clean and bright windows for catering?
In his previous life, Zhao Wenmu started out as a catering business, and he knew how to decorate a restaurant by heart.

He first re-divided the entire warehouse, and planned several entrances and exits, bars, bathrooms, business areas, and box areas.

Crayfish and spicy crab have a strong taste, and the ventilation design is also an important part.

Not only that, because the warehouse is 7 meters high, he simply designed the second floor space.

The broken warehouse abruptly transformed into a fashionable loft!

The usable area has expanded by more than half at once.

The upper area is ring-shaped and hollow, and correspondingly, there is a ring-shaped large bar in the central area of ​​the first floor.

A quarter of the area in the north and south directions of the ring-shaped bar faces the entrance and exit, and its main tasks are reception and cash register.

A quarter of the area in the east and west directions faces the dining area, and there are two super large fish tanks.

The fish tank is curved, roughly 4 meters long, 1.2 meters high, and 70 cm wide. This is the largest fish tank Zhao Wenmu can find so far.

This fish tank, at least for 15 years, is the only one in Pingyang County.

But now you can’t buy special glass, and the strength of the fish tank is not high. In order to prevent it from being accidentally damaged by children or cheap people, there is a layer of glass in front of the fish tank.

There is also a railing around the glass perimeter.

Triple insurance.

On one side of the fish tank are fresh mantis and crabs, and on the other side Zhao Wenmu plans to raise sea fish.

Sea fish is enough to be curious!

But fresh sea fish are hard to find, so he contacted someone to go to the northern coast of Changwei to get them.

Not necessarily in time.

The interior decoration style is also unique.

Generally speaking, it is natural wind and rural wind.

There are old tree branches, ears of wheat, and a babbling brook under the glass floor, with pebbles and small shrimp and fish in the water.

There is only one creek, which meanders through the dining area, which is covered with a glass floor.

Elsewhere are normal ceramic floors.

A huge area is reserved above the entrance of the store, and Zhao Wenmu asked someone to customize an antique plaque.

On it are the big characters of "Old Zhao's Crayfish Restaurant".

The plaque has not been hung yet.

There are also two wine banners, which are "Old Zhao's Authentic Crayfish" and "Old Zhao's Authentic Spicy Crab"!
The north gate of the store is directly connected to the open-air dining area outside, and customers can choose to eat outside or indoors.

At the same time, Zhao Wenmu also installed a heating system indoors.

Ensure that the room is as warm as spring in winter, and at the same time, there is no smoke.

As for the parking lot, it also needs to be considered.

But not a car park, but a bicycle.

It's right next to the south gate of the store. Fortunately, the bicycle space does not need a large area.

Customers can park their cars here and then enter the store to eat.

The decoration of the new store made Zhao Wenmu very anxious. After all, he has not done these things with his hands for decades.

Many experiences from previous lives may not necessarily be suitable for such an early age as 1980.

After all, it was 84 or 85 years when he opened the store.

In this day and age, every day is different.

In one year, the whole country has changed a lot!
The work of buying a store in Pingyang County was completely handed over to Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing took Zhao Xin to roam the streets and alleys of Pingyang County every day.

Just like shopping in a small store, you can scan the store.

Zhao Wenmu specially invited Zheng Guangming to be his bodyguard.

"Daughter-in-law, you can spend the money in the passbook as you like, as much as you have!"

When Zhao Wenmu handed the passbook to Zhao Jing, he said dotingly.

He didn't know how many shops Zhao Jing could buy.

There are really not many shops and facade houses that can be sold in the small Pingyang County.
