Chapter 13 Preparing to Open a Store

"Mom, Dad, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, Brother-in-law, Xiaoyi and I want to open a vegetable shop, and I want to ask your opinions." Jiang Zhi said, touching his wine glass.

The second brother-in-law, Wang Xu, spoke first, "Don't you all have jobs? Who is going to watch?"

The second brother-in-law is a social person. He works as the chief of the sales department in a certain state-owned enterprise and is very good at maintaining the relationship with the leader. So although he is only a technical school student, he is also doing well in the unit.

"You all know the nature of my job, just go to work one day a week. Xiaoyi is not doing well in the workplace, and she also asked for sick leave two days ago. If we open a store, we can be busy by ourselves." Jiang Zhi is very happy They skillfully told me about my leave. They must have thought that I was angry at work, so they asked for sick leave.

Sure enough, Dad Qu was the first to raise his hand in agreement. "Yes, if things don't go well in the unit, we will ask for leave. If you think about opening a store, you can do it. Have you found a good shop?"

This time I was one step ahead of Jiang Zhi and answered the question. "I'm optimistic about one, which is the business clothing downstairs of our house, the one that used to be the flower shop."

"That shop is not good, you can pay for what you open, you should find another one." Eldest sister Qu Feng said hurriedly when she heard the shop I mentioned.

"Sister, I know what you said, but this is the only one near our house that meets our requirements." While talking, I wiped out the vegetables that Jiang Zhi picked up for me.

"Yes, it's better to be downstairs, but we can't suffer from it." Mother Qu felt sorry for her grandson.It is not easy to start a business by yourself, few businesses and families can be taken care of.Qu Ma was afraid that the store would be too far away, and we would not be able to attend Hanhan.

"Grandma, did you call me?" When Hanhan heard his name called by his grandma, he thought he was looking for him, so he rushed over with the strawberries he had been given, and picked up the biggest and reddest strawberry. The strawberry stuffed into grandma's mouth.

"It's so sweet, it's because my little grandson knows how to love someone, so it's really not in vain." Mother Qu said happily while eating the strawberry Han Han stuffed for her.

"Hanhan, is there one for grandma, but not one for grandpa?" Father Qu was jealous.

Without any hesitation, Han Han gave each elder at the dinner table a strawberry.I looked at this flattering Hanhan, and I cursed in my heart, when will my son be able to share his favorite food with others so happily?The answer is: only when enough is eaten at home.

Hanhan finished sharing the strawberries, and after getting a lot of compliments, he ran back to his elder brother and sister. I think he will find a way to get another strawberry from his elder brother and sister.

Jiang Zhi continued the topic just now. "Xiao Yi and I have researched it. We just want to open a small shop, which is not too busy and can take good care of the children. Except for this one, there are big shops near our house. The rent is too expensive, and we can't afford it. Small business, no risk, no pressure."

After listening to Jiang Zhi's words, Father Qu agreed at the dinner table, "Okay, you can figure it out for yourself. If you have enough money, I'll let your mother get some for you later."

"Dad, I'm just waiting for your words, and the elder sister and the second sister, you also have to support me, you can lend me some first, but you have to make an agreement first, and you can pay it back after two years." I took this opportunity, Say your ultimate goal quickly.

"Girl, you are so embarrassed to ask, okay, how much do you want, tell me the number." Look, this is my rich second sister, Qu Wen.

Jiang Zhi saw that I had borrowed the money, so he said to the second brother-in-law: "Second brother-in-law, doesn't your unit distribute mineral water to employees every year? Can you give me some."

"Okay, don't I have it in my hand? Is 100 boxes enough? If it's not enough, I'll make it up for you." The second brother-in-law said proudly.

"It's really not enough. I want to sell it in the store. Brother-in-law, you can give me some more. If it's not easy, you can help me buy some low-priced ones from the employees." Jiang Zhi was not polite to him.

The second brother-in-law was obviously taken aback. He didn't expect Jiang Zhizhen to say that it wasn't enough. He thought it was enough. You must know that each employee sent 10 boxes.He had already uttered his big words, and it would be too embarrassing if he regretted it immediately at this time, so he agreed.

Jiang Zhi said to his eldest brother-in-law Liang Yuguo: "Big brother-in-law, are you free? Go and help me change the water and electricity."

The eldest brother-in-law is an honest person who doesn't talk much, but he is diligent in everything he does and has a careful heart.He is completely self-taught, he can change water and electricity, he can repair, (no matter what it is, he dares to repair it, and most of them can be repaired.) He can carpentry.

"Well, when you want to change it, just call me." The eldest brother-in-law is a logistics staff in the unit and is not busy.

So far, the composer's trip has been a complete success.

On Sunday the next day, we went to Jiang's house with Han Han and the same things as yesterday.

This time it was Father Jiang who opened the door, Hanhan rushed forward again, and repeated what he said yesterday: "Grandpa, grandma. I miss you, grandpa. I brought you a lot of delicious food. Hurry up, mom, Show it to grandpa."

"Hanhan, grandpa's grandson, grandpa misses you too. Let grandpa take a good look at it, he hasn't looked at our baby for half a month." Jiang father exaggeratedly picked up Hanhan and kissed him, like ten years It's like we haven't seen each other for eight years.

The problem of borrowing money from Jiang's family is much simpler, because Jiang's father and Jiang's mother completely listen to Jiang Zhi.So Jiang Zhi reported to his parents that we were going to open a store soon, and successfully borrowed 30.And Jiang's father and Jiang's mother also said that after the store opened, if no one was looking, they could go.Jiang's mother was a teacher before she retired. She was more educated, and it was okay to collect money.Jiang's father is not too old, so he should be able to help with arranging the dishes.

After leaving Jiang's house, I couldn't wait to count the funds in my hand in the car. Qu's father 15, eldest sister 20, second sister 20, Jiang's father 30, and myself 25, a total of 110 million.

I think after we open the vegetable store, we can go to City H to buy supplies.

On Monday, Jiang Zhi went to talk about renting a shop.

In fact, the shop is not small, it has two floors, each floor is 40 square meters, rectangular, transparent from north to south, with excellent lighting.There is a bathroom on the second floor. It is very convenient to convert the entire second floor into a residence or a warehouse.I just don’t know why, what to pay here, it’s very evil.So the rent here should be relatively cheap.As for the problem of losing money, it does not exist for us, and we have no capital. We sell one to earn one.

When Jiang Zhi came back, the house price had been negotiated and the rental contract signed.It is rented for 2 years at a price of [-] per year. (I told Jiang Zhi to rent for two years.)
Then Jiang Zhi started to go through a series of procedures such as business license, sanitation permit and so on.Jiang Zhi found a classmate of his, and it took three days to complete the procedures.When there are acquaintances applying for a certificate, the green light is all the way, very fast.

When Jiang Zhi started to apply for the certificate, I called Sister Qu and asked her to send her brother-in-law to help.

The eldest brother-in-law worked here for a whole week, not only changing the electricity, but also using wood to build shelves, painting upstairs and downstairs, etc., but the eldest brother-in-law was exhausted, and Jiang Zhi followed the eldest brother-in-law for the next few days Do it together.

I asked Jiang Zhi to buy some more wood, and asked my brother-in-law to make some long wooden strips (for fences), and some chicken coops and duck coops. Due to the tight schedule and heavy tasks, I didn’t ask for quality, and what I made was almost usable. That's fine.

We went back to Qu's House again and finalized the specific time for the opening, which is April [-]nd.
