Chapter 66
Yu Tong thought about the one million in her hand, and asked the price with confidence. The man calculated for her: “It doesn’t cost much to add a concrete slab, tens of thousands can be done, mainly for decoration. What kind of store do you want to open, clothing or catering?”
She doesn’t know how to operate the mall, but she is basically in a system now, so she can choose freely. Otherwise, how could she make money so smoothly? In reality, there are many difficulties in opening a store. “Ah, you don’t need a counter for catering, but you have to buy tables and chairs. It depends on whether you want to decorate it as Chaoyixing or Haidilao.”
Yu Tong thought about Chaoyixing’s appearance, and asked silently: “According to Haidilao’s standard decoration, it is about How much does it cost? And give me lowest price for tables and chairs. Don’t charge me too much. We are long-term partners. There must also be sofas and beauties, and the chandeliers should be the best, right? What’s the lowest price?”
The man: “…” Is it he who sells it or she sells it, and she sets the price? ! The man read about the “friendship” between the two of them, and after only humming twice, he agreed, “A low price is a low price. I’m so unlucky to meet you… Tsk.”
Yu Tong said brazenly : “I met such a considerate store like me, and the price has been calculated for you? Don’t be moved, this is what I should do. Just tell me how much the decoration will cost.”
“According to your standards, it costs 1.2 million yuan to build a second floor and add decorations. This is not the most high-end. But you have to figure it out. You can’t keep adding floors. The safest way is to buy ready- made ones.”
“It’s okay , It’s a little bit bigger.” Yu Tong has already figured it out, if she really wants to expand in the future, the current house will definitely not be enough.
Sooner or later the house will have to be gutted and rebuilt. But if she really wants to open a shopping mall, she still needs a lot of funds, so she needs to save more.
Yu Tong made an agreement with the man that she would start construction when she saved enough 1.2 million yuan, and she still had 200,000 yuan short of money, so she had to work hard during this time.
Yu Tong thought for a while, and put the white T-shirts she had painted on the shelves. Now that the money there in the 1970s is enough for the time being, she still sticks to the supermarket first.
Although the watercolor clothes can’t be worn a few times, they are handmade, expensive and earn a lot.
Whether it can be sold or not depends entirely on how well Yu Tong designs it.
After tidying up the shelves, Yu Tong dug out a book from the supermarket, and left with her design drawing in her arms.
There are several design drawings, all of which are all kinds of clothes she designed. She has been selling finished products, and she has not asked Lin Xianglian to make clothes according to the design drawings.
It’s not that she’s worried that the clothes won’t sell, after all, she’s from later generations, and she knows what clothes are popular these days. It’s only during this period that Yu Tong realizes that Lin Xianglian is already tired from working during the day, and Yu Tong can’t bear to ask her to work overtime at night.
If it doesn’t work, Yu Tong can only learn by herself. The road to making a fortune is indeed a long way to go.
*********************
In the early morning of the next day, Yu Tong woke up just after dawn. What woke her up was the mild sunlight, which filled the narrow room with two small beds and not-so-big windows. Although this is already a guest house with a good environment, compared with the hotels of later generations, it is still far behind.
Yu Tong sat on the bed in a daze for a moment, then suddenly thought that it would be nice to open a hotel for Lin Xianglian in the future. The hotel can also sell some food, and hire people to do odd jobs.
Anyway, it will be reformed/opened soon. She will give the hotel a nice name, such as eight days and nine days. Maybe she can open a chain of fast food in the future. Yu Tong found that she wanted to do business more and more.
Sure enough, only making money can make her happy.
After getting up and washing up, Yu Tong took Lin Xianglian to eat breakfast. As soon as she left the door of the guest house, Yu Tong was stunned by the scene in front of her.
She is a person who likes the retro style, and Shanghai is the most developed city in China. At present, many small buildings have been built in many places, full of the simple and simple style of the Republic of China. It looks like a painting from a distance, but the details can stand up to scrutiny.
Yu Tong raised her head to look at the sun, the sun was warm, as if this city warmed Yu Tong’s heart.
She was still debating whether to keep the rural household registration and get some benefits in the future, but now seeing what Shanghai looks like, she decided not to leave. She likes this warm city, so she has to work hard to stay.
After graduation, find a unit first, and hang your account on the unit! The atmosphere of Shanghai City is very different from that of the county town, with a lot more people and a lot more lively. Yu Tong has seen photos of similar streets in the old city before, but none of them are as good as this place. This place is full of life and has not been commercialized. Yu Tong thinks that even the air here is pleasant.
It’s decided to open a guest house here!
Yu Tong went to buy soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks, and ate them with Lin Xianglian. After returning to the hostel, she inquired with the boss, and found out that this is a Minguo style street, near the station, and will be considered a famous tourist attraction in the future.
If Yu Tong can get a house here, then it will really be easy in the future. Returning to the room after eating and drinking, Yu Tong asked Lin Xianglian, “Mom, what do you think of Shanghai, do you want to come?”
“Shanghai City is of course good,” Lin Xianglian blushed, still not recovering from the excitement of seeing the big city. This is not surprising, after all, Yu Tong is a person who has seen “big scenes”. The current Shanghai city is just warm, but the future Shanghai city will really be crowded with buildings.
But Lin Xianglian had never seen these things. When she first arrived in the county, she thought the county was already very good, but she never expected that Shanghai would look like this. “It’s just… can I stay?”
Probably like the people of the later generations of Bei Piao, Lin Xianglian doubted whether she could survive in Shanghai.
“Of course you can,” Yu Tong said in a low voice, “I want to open a store for you in two years. Let’s see what you want to do.” Although Yu Tong has her own plans, she still has to ask the person concerned about such matters.
Willingness, Lin Xianglian has never influenced Yu Tong’s behavior, and Yu Tong certainly can’t let Lin Xianglian live for herself. So no matter what she does in Shanghai, Lin Xianglian has to like it in the end.
Lin Xianglian was startled by Yu Tong’s words, “You, what are you talking about, come to Shanghai to open a shop?!”
“Yes.” Yu Tong didn’t take it seriously. Lin Xianglian shook her head again and again: “How can this work? In a city as big as Shanghai, how can we open a store just to open a store? Besides, we can’t open a store personally. Opening a store is Guo Jia’s business.”
“I think the situation will improve,” Yu Tong said seriously, “Look at how did my aunt be lazy when we earned work points before? In order to prevent people like my aunt from being lazy, the policy will definitely be changed. Mom, do you want to open a store, or do you have other things you want to do? ”
Lin Xianglian hesitated.
Of course she wanted to open a store. When her mother took her to the supply and marketing cooperative for the first time, because she had never seen anything in the supply and marketing cooperative, she especially wanted to own a store similar to the supply and marketing cooperative. It’s just that it was a child’s fantasy at that time, but now I can really think about it.
But… Lin Xianglian still couldn’t accept Yu Tong’s thoughts. Let’s not talk about whether we can open a store in the future, but let’s talk about funds. The gifts that the mother and daughter gave to the villagers have stripped them of their skins. Where did they get the funds to open a store in Shanghai? !
“Tongtong, even if the policy allows it in the future, we have no money or tickets.”
Lin Xianglian thought that tickets would be needed to buy things in the future. With such a mention, Yu Tong really can’t remember in which year the food stamps and fabric stamps were cancelled.
For these questions that Yu Tong couldn’t answer, she could only bring out Xie Wencheng: “Mom, I actually saved a lot of money. Didn’t I draw pictures before? I asked Brother Cheng to help me sell a lot. I also made clothes to sell.” Come on, there are hundreds here and there.”
Hearing her daughter’s words, Lin Xianglian was so shocked that she couldn’t close her mouth.
She knew that her daughter was capable, but she didn’t expect that she could save hundreds of dollars in such a short period of time? You know, they have lived a very good life in the past two years. They don’t have to worry about having no meat to eat. Even if they stir-fry vegetables, they still have enough seasoning. Usually, when she stir-fries vegetables, there will be a bunch of children looking at the fence, all of them are attracted by the smell.
“This, this, this…Wen Cheng is speculating.” Lin Xianglian lowered her voice nervously, “If someone else finds out about this…”
Yu Tong looked bitter and bitter: “It’s okay, he is just such a person, he does this every day I’m used to it, and I won’t let others find out.”
In order to make Lin Xianglian believe her words, Yu Tong could only feel sorry for Xie Wencheng. Lin Xianglian fell into deep anxiety. She used to like Xie Wencheng very much, and felt that this young man had a good education and character, so he and Yu Tong got close, and she turned a blind eye. What I never expected was that Xie Wencheng actually engaged in this kind of activity behind her back? This…
Lin Xianglian felt that it was necessary to keep Yu Tong and Xie Wencheng at a distance. She didn’t know if this kind of thing was right, but what she knew was that it was too dangerous to do it. She can’t let her daughter lose her husband early. So we can’t let them have more contact in the future.
Yu Tong didn’t know that Lin Xianglian’s thoughts had drifted to a few years later, and she imagined that she got married , and she was still talking about clothes: “By the way, Mom, take some time to teach me how to make clothes, I want to learn , and then make it according to your own design and sell it. The clothes you design are unique, and if you do it well, you can make a brand!” Lin Xianglian looked confused.
Look, my daughter is starting to want to sell things. Sure enough, we still have to keep Xie Wencheng away from her daughter!
***************
On the second day after Yu Tong left, Xie Wencheng kept coughing. No cold or fever, just a cough, very evil.
In the next few days, Xie Wencheng continued to live step by step. Without Yu Tong often entrusting him with all kinds of strange things, his life is as dull as stagnant water. He was not a person who could live in peace, and now his heart was getting more and more frustrated. When he came back to the county seat, he just wanted to hide for a few months, but for some reason, he actually hid in the county seat for two years…
Xie Wencheng began to seriously think about his future. After all, always hiding is not an option. Thinking about it, he suddenly thought of Yu Tong and felt something was wrong.
He has now confirmed that his heart for Yu Tong is 100% love between men and women, and he definitely does not treat Yu Tong as a younger sister. He is open-minded and doesn’t think his thoughts are so dirty. In the West, it can be said he fell in love very early. So he will definitely take action in the future, and he will not be happy if he doesn’t fight for it.
But the problem is… Yu Tong is now using him as a weapon everywhere, he is responsible for good and bad things, how will he face Lin Xianglian in the future?
Isn’t the first step to please the little girl is to please the mother-in-law?
