Get something in the courtyard

Chapter 1594 Borrowing Money
"Jiecheng, why do you two want to see us?" The third aunt felt very uneasy when she saw her eldest son who was looking for her to please her.

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "We came to you and my dad because we have something good to tell you. Mom, I'm telling you, as long as I can accomplish this, our family will become rich. When the time comes, I'll buy you two a big color TV."

The third aunt looked unconvinced. She knew her own son well. He was unwilling to spend even a penny more on her. It would be better to dream than to expect him to buy a color TV. At least in dreams, she could have everything.

Yan Bugui interrupted his boasting: "Alright, boss. We are your parents. We raised you with our own hands. As soon as you stick your butt out, we know what you are doing. Don't embarrass yourself in front of me and your mother with your little tricks."

Yu Li rolled her eyes at Yan Jiecheng, then said, "Dad, Mom, this is what's going on. Doesn't the country allow individual businesses to do business? Dad, you read the newspaper often, so you must know about this."

The two of us just wanted to do business.”

"Boss, boss' wife, do you not want your jobs anymore?" the third aunt asked in surprise.

Yan Jiecheng explained: "Mom, Lili and I have made an agreement. I will continue to work in the factory, and she will sell her job. She will start her own business."

As soon as they heard that their jobs were going to be sold, the three aunts began to calculate how much Yu Li's job quota could be sold for and whether she could get any advantage.

Yan Bugui felt something was wrong. Yu Li sold the job, which had nothing to do with them, and there was no need to tell them. She couldn't sell the job to the couple. They wanted it, but the factory didn't want them because they were too old.

"Just tell me what you want from me and your mother!"

Yan Jiecheng chuckled: "Doesn't it take capital to run a business? We want you two to invest in us. When we make money, you will also have a share."

Yan Bugui calculated for a while and felt uneasy. He often read newspapers about business and knew a lot about it. But in business, there are gains and losses, and those who make money are still a minority.

If he invested this in Yan Jiecheng and his wife, if they lost money, he would lose everything.

But if he doesn't invest, Yan Jiecheng and his wife will make money, but it will have nothing to do with him, so it will be a losing business.

After much calculation, Yan Bugui felt that it would be more cost-effective to borrow money.

"How can your mother and I have so much money to invest in you? What if you lose money? As long as you promise to return the money to us if you lose, we will invest in you."

The third aunt supported him, "Your father is right. If you want us to invest, this clause must be added."

Yan Jiecheng was unhappy when he heard this and retorted: "There is no such thing in the world. You are our investors, so you are our shareholders. If you lose money, why should we compensate you? If you promise not to distribute dividends when you make money, I will agree to it."

"That's impossible. We have all invested and made money, so why can't we get dividends?" said the third aunt.

Yan Jiecheng said angrily: "There is no such thing as you."

Yu Li didn't want to agree to Yan Bugui's request, so she said, "Can we lend you the money?"

Yan Jiecheng followed closely and said, "Yes, we will lend it to you. We will pay you back when we make money."

Yan Bugui said: "You can borrow money, but you have to pay interest."

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li had guessed this long ago and were not surprised.

"One cent of interest."

"With an interest rate of 1%, I might as well keep my money in the bank. If you want to borrow, you must pay 10% interest."

"Ten points, even loan sharks don't lend money at such high interest rates like you do."

The three aunts said, "Don't you say that doing business is to make money? You have made money, do you still care about this little money?"

The two of them didn't know how to answer the questions asked by the three aunts.

Yan Bugui took the opportunity to say, "Your mother is right. This is our condition. If you agree, you can get the money. If you don't agree, forget it."

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li did not agree at the time. After two days of discussion and borrowing money from people everywhere, they still could not get enough. Finally, they had to bite their teeth and agree to Yan Bugui's request. After getting the money, the two began to discuss what business to start.

Yu Li made the final decision and said, "Let's do the restaurant business. Look at Sha Zhu, he goes out to cook for others every night. He makes a lot of money every day. His cooking skills are great. With his cooking skills, we can't help but make money."

Yan Jiecheng had no idea, so he agreed to Yu Li's request.

Soon, the two found a shop that used to be a restaurant on the street. Business was not good, so they wanted to sell it.

Both of them were almost overwhelmed by Yan Bugui's high interest rate, so they didn't dare to delay and agreed.

You don’t know until you start doing business. Once you start doing business, you will know that you will never have enough money. After the two of them calculated, they felt that it was not worth it to continue paying Yan Bugui’s interest, so they gritted their teeth and borrowed money from someone to pay Yan Bugui back.

Yan Bugui and his wife were still a little reluctant. After all, the interest rate was very low and they didn't have to worry about the borrower running away. This kind of deal was hard to find in the world.

Soon, Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng's restaurant was ready and ready to open.

"Silly Zhu, do you want to discuss something with me?"

Sha Zhu stopped and looked at the two of them: "What's going on?"

Yu Li smiled and said, "Yan Jiecheng and I are going to open a restaurant."

Sha Zhu nodded: "I heard about it. The courtyard has been discussing this matter these past two days. Why did you come to me? Do you want to treat me to a meal?"

"Dream on." Yan Jiecheng muttered.

Yu Li pushed him and said, "I would like to invite you to be the head chef of our restaurant."

Sha Zhu laughed: "You guys are quite ambitious."

Yu Li said, "You go out to cook for others every day, don't you also want to make money? You don't cook every day. What we do is much better than your odd jobs. Sister Guo, don't you think so?"

Guo Xianghong would not control everything for Sha Zhu, so she said, "Don't ask me. In our family, Sha Zhu has the final say."

This sentence made Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu so angry that they vomited blood. If only Sha Zhu had the final say, they would have succeeded in their scheme against Sha Zhu long ago. Every time they were about to succeed, Guo Xianghong's words "old money, old money" would make their efforts go down the drain.

Sha Zhu is a face-conscious person. His wife giving him face makes him happier than anything else. Isn't the reason he works so hard now just to make money? As long as the price offered by Yan Jiecheng and his wife is right, he will definitely not refuse.

"Can you two please me?"

Yan Jiecheng's face immediately fell.

Yu Li's smile also faded a lot. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't say that yet. Name a price."

Sha Zhu looked at the two of them in surprise and said, "I was afraid I would scare you two away."

Yan Jiecheng said tactfully: "You still work in the factory during the day. Come to the restaurant at night."

Sha Zhu curled his lips: "You two are playing a joke on me, right? You want me to work half a shift? Well, you guys, you better find someone else. If I have that time, isn't it better for me to stay at home with my wife and children?
Wife, let’s go home.”

Guo Xianghong didn't say anything and followed Sha Zhu home.

Qin Huairu saw this scene and cursed Guo Xianghong in her heart. If she were Sha Zhu's wife, she would definitely come forward at this time to help Sha Zhu get a suitable price. She hesitated for a few times, and moved her feet secretly, wanting to come out several times to help Sha Zhu fight for this lucrative job.

But Sha Zhu didn't even look at her, which made her very angry.
