Start at the pet store

"Meow... I'm glad you're okay..." Xiao Zuanfeng shook his head and hummed.

Lu Jingxing scratched their heads one by one.

"Let's go downstairs and open the cans for you." There were so many of them at once, and he couldn't pick up one of them to favor one over the other, so he had to reward them all.

Hearing that there were cans to eat, the four little ones immediately stood up and rushed to the stairs before he took a step.

Lu Jingxing looked at them with a bit of a smile.

Zhima turned around while running and looked at Lu Jingxing who was still standing at the door without moving, and meowed softly: "Meow, let's go."

"Okay, let's go, let's go, but you have to wait until I put on my clothes..." He smiled and put on his clothes while following them downstairs.

In the end, he opened a can for each of the little guys and that was it.

Xi Wenxin called: "The procedures here are all in process. I'm going to Long'an in the next two days. Is that okay?"

"Okay, what do the two households next door say? Can it be finalized?" Lu Jingxing walked to the office while talking on the phone.

"I found the landlord of the one on the left. The landlord was kind. He said that the previous tenant's lease had not expired yet, but it would expire soon. He asked me to rent it again in a month or so. In this way, I don't have to pay the transfer fee. The tenant closed the shop last month and it is now in the transfer situation." Xi Wenxin said.

"This landlord is pretty good? I wonder if the boss in front will be furious if he knows." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"You can't blame me for this. I asked the opposite side for the phone number. The tenant in front heard from several stores next to him that he was not a good person and offended many people, so he couldn't run the shop anymore. He couldn't even transfer it. No one wants to pay this unfair money, right? However, the rent here is higher than that over there, and the area is larger." Xi Wenxin told the truth about what he knew.

"Okay, you have the upper hand anyway. The best way is to meet with the landlord. If you think that the storefront is really suitable, then finalize it. If something unexpected happens, it will be troublesome." Lu Jingxing thought for a while and said, "By the way, what about the other side?"

He remembered that the two neighboring houses were both transferred.

"The other side has been transferred. The area is very small, more than two-thirds smaller than ours. I think even if it is not transferred, it will not be of much use to us." Xi Wenxin said.

"Well, then you can finalize this side, and then find out how long this storefront has been transferred. Ours is definitely smaller, so we must get this one. If the transfer fee is not too high, don't be too concerned about such a small amount of money. It's okay to pay a little money." Lu Jingxing said.

"I'm afraid it will cost tens of thousands of yuan. I asked around and found that our pet shop was transferred cheaply, mainly because the original tenant was a wealthy man."

"It's okay, you go and confirm it again, and I'll think about how to do it best." Lu Jingxing has already sat down.

As soon as he sat down, a customer followed him in.

"Let's do this for now. I have something to do here. You don't need to worry too much about the money. I'll call you later." Lu Jingxing nodded to the customer, then hung up the phone with Xi Wenxin.

The more Xi Wenxin thought about it, the more he felt that Lu Jingxing was right. The small one next to it had been rented out. From what Lu Jingxing said, he didn't mean to open a small pet shop and be done with it. He wanted to open a pet hospital. So this shop was indeed a little too small.

What if the shop was transferred by the original tenant during his visit to Long'an, wouldn't this thing be considered a failure? Although the current place can be opened, it will be very crowded if equipment is added.

While he was still thinking, Lu Jingxing called again.

He quickly picked up the phone: "What's wrong?"

"I'm done here. How are the cats? Are they all okay?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"Pretty good. Erdong greets them in the store every day. One by one, they are slowly starting to grow meat." Xi Wenxin said with a smile.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "It's like this, we won't open a cat cafe in the future, and the store will soon start to be renovated, you have to build a platform to sell these little guys."

"Sell?" Xi Wenxin said in surprise.

"Yes, sell, not adopt. First of all, these cats are also purebred cats. They are originally cats in cat cafes. Their personalities are fine. I don't adopt them because I'm afraid that the owner will not adopt them just because they like them, but is willing to pay a high price to buy them, so the chance of abuse will be much smaller. This will probably take some time. You can see how to do it. As for setting up a platform, I know it won't be difficult for you, after all, you are a computer expert." Lu Jingxing smiled at the end.

"That really won't be difficult for me, but how to set the price?" Xi Wenxin had never done it before, so he was unsure.

"That's easy. Don't you have a SLR? Take photos of each of them from multiple angles. Send them to me first and I'll set the price. In the end, if we can't sell them, we'll make arrangements. I know the quality of these cats, so it won't be difficult to sell them." Lu Jingxing said confidently.

"Oh, okay, I know it roughly. I'll see how to write the copy first, and then take a few photos and send them out first..." Xi Wenxin had a plan in mind.

Lu Jingxing smiled with satisfaction. This was the first step for Xi Wenxin to start his own business.

"You can also think about it. Maybe you can hold an event in front of the store. After the advertisement is put out, there will definitely be people coming to the store. This will be a bit cumbersome. See if you need to recruit a few people. When you recruit the right ones, you can bring them to Long'an for internship during the renovation period." Lu Jingxing had an idea long ago.

"Yes, this is a solution." Xi Wenxin has been thinking about getting the license these days. He has no experience in opening a store, so he didn't think about it.

"Haha, it's best if you have experience in pet stores, and it would be even better if you have a doctor." Lu Jingxing said again.

"Okay, okay, I know, I know, I'll do it right away." Xi Wenxin had a new idea, and happily picked up the key and ran out.

Lu Jingxing shook his head. Once he came up with this idea, this guy would be busy.

He got up and looked outside. There were not many people in the hall at this time. He returned to his desk, thought about it, and called Song Weiyuan, who he hadn't contacted for a long time. In fact, he could just talk about it in the group, but he still preferred to call and talk about important things. Maybe it was just more important to him.

The call was quickly connected: "Lu?"

The other party was actually a little suspicious.

"Haha, it's me, what's wrong, you still feel suspicious when I call you?" Lu Jingxing laughed when he heard Song Weiyuan's uncertain tone.

"Of course not, you are a very busy man..." Song Weiyuan laughed. In fact, he himself is often busy all the time, so he can understand Lu Jingxing.

"Haha, you are different? How is it, is it convenient to talk now?" Lu Jingxing asked very straightforwardly.

"Hmm, let's talk, I happen to be free now, and I have a meeting in half an hour." Song Weiyuan admired Lu Jingxing's direct personality.

"It's like this, I've seen a store in Hong Kong City, and I want to open a branch there. I want to ask your opinion, and then see if you are interested in investing." Lu Jingxing always speaks to him as directly as possible.

"Oh, sure, what you see must be good. How big is the store, how much did you pay for it, and do you want me to help you with the real estate certificate?" Song Weiyuan said without hesitation.

Lu Jingxing was stunned: "Ah? Haha, no, I didn't buy it, I rented it. The two storefronts together cost more than 20,000 yuan a month. The other one is still under negotiation. The one that has been negotiated is 10,000 yuan a month. It's not very big for now. It's much smaller than Chongai. The main reason is that I like the location."

"Hey, that's even less of a problem. I suggest that if you want to do it, you should do it bigger. Okay, you decide. Anyway, you can decide for me. Just email me about how much you need to invest. I don't know the details. I will ask the finance department to pay you directly." Song Weiyuan almost didn't say anything, just wanted to be a rich dad.

"Haha, you are too direct. Okay, with your words, I have a bottom line and know what to do." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"My suggestion is that if you like it, you'd better take down the house. Otherwise, after investing, the landlord will ask for a price increase every day, or take it back. It's hard and troublesome. By the way, will you go there yourself?" Song Weiyuan asked.

"My main force is still here, but I will provide guidance. I have also thought about the house you mentioned, but let's rent it first and see the performance before buying it. This kind of thing can't be rushed." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"That's right, it's okay, just do what you want, I can say anything here, but I think if you want to do it, do it big, it's hard to do small things. Look, our park and the two pet hospitals you have are pretty good, at least you have to get it to the scale of the second store before you can let go." Song Weiyuan said carelessly.

"Yeah, I understand your idea, I will think about it carefully, and I will tell you more plans when the time comes." Lu Jingxing nodded.

"Okay, I'm fine anyway, you send the cost, and I'll let the finance department transfer it to you." Song Weiyuan is very optimistic about Lu Jingxing.

"Okay, I'll send you the plan when I'm done, it's still in the planning stage now." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and because Song Weiyuan had to go to a meeting, the two hung up the phone.

Lu Jingxing also fell into deep thought because of his words.

This is probably everyone's confidence. He has a bigger heart than Xi Wenxin, and Song Weiyuan has a bigger heart than him.

He smiled and shook his head. People are like this. No one will be satisfied. Anyway, they will toss and turn all their lives.

"Knock knock knock..." There was a knock on the door.

Lu Jingxing raised his head and looked at the visitor with surprise: "Damn, why are you here? Why did you come without a phone call?"

"Isn't it just to give you a surprise? It looks like you are surprised, haha..." Zhao Jingming strode in.

Lu Jingxing also stood up a long time ago. The two hugged and patted each other's backs.

"Sit..." Lu Jingxing pointed at the sofa, then immediately boiled water and prepared to make a pot of tea.

"Look at your movements, you haven't drunk this pot much?" Zhao Jingming smiled and watched Lu Jingxing's awkward tea-making movements.

Lu Jingxing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I can't do this. It seems that I need to learn from Yang. He can twist the pot when brewing..."

"Haha, he has that ability?" Zhao Jingming laughed.

"Of course, I don't know when he learned it. By the way, why did you come so quietly without making a phone call?" Lu Jingxing finally heated the cups and looked at him with a smile.

"I was driven out by my old man. He saw that I was either hanging out in bars or picking up girls at home every day. He couldn't stand it and told me to get out as far as I could. So I came to your place, under the pretext of coming to see the performance, hehe." Zhao Jingming couldn't stand his awkward look, so he took the pot away himself.

Lu Jingxing smiled helplessly: "You came at the right time. I just happened to have something to tell you. I just called Boss Song."

"Song Weiyuan, are you going to do something big again?" When he heard about Song Weiyuan, Zhao Jingming also became energetic. After making three cups, he looked at him with bright eyes.

"It's a big deal for me, but it shouldn't be a big deal for you, but I still want to drag you into the water." Lu Jingxing said with a laugh.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly. I'm so disgusted by the old man right now. It would be best to find something to do." Zhao Jingming became interested.

Lu Jingxing smiled and introduced the whole thing, and also repeated what Song Weiyuan told him.

Zhao Jingming thought for a while: "I also think Song Weiyuan is right. If you want to do it, do it bigger. Since you are optimistic about that position, don't leave this so-called retreat, just do it. Don't you believe in yourself? Anyway, I believe you."

"You mean to buy the storefront?" Lu Jingxing asked suspiciously.

Zhao Jingming nodded solemnly: "How can you have peace of mind when renting a storefront? Today the landlord will charge you, and tomorrow the landlord will raise the price. That's not a problem, unless you don't plan to do it for a long time."

"I think that location is good. The disadvantage is that it's a bit small and it's hard to extend out the back..." Lu Jingxing thought about his two current stores. They both have cat kennels and dog kennels in the back.

"Then don't postpone it to the back, but extend it to both sides..." Zhao Jingming felt that this was nothing.

"Of course, if we really need it, we must have a cattery. We can also find a place nearby. After all, places like the first store and the second store are not easy to find in Hong Kong City, where land is at a premium." Lu Jingxing said.

"By the way, how much do you think the rent is?" Zhao Jingming suddenly asked.

"The price we've settled on now is 10,000. The place is not very big. It turns out it's a cat cafe..." Lu Jingxing said.

"Ten thousand? So cheap?" Zhao Jingming was surprised.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, isn't it?"

"Of course it's not right. My classmate opened a beauty shop. The store said it cost tens of thousands a month. Do you think it's ten thousand?" He couldn't believe it.

"The contract I signed is indeed 10,000, but I asked Lao Xi to contact the one next door. It should be higher," Lu Jingxing said.

"You can rent it for ten thousand, as long as the contract is longer." Zhao Jingming took a sip of tea and said.

Lu Jingxing was surprised that the young master Zhao Jingming actually knew this.
