Time flies, and several months have passed.
Ji Ranran can sit and crawl. She no longer likes being hugged and wants to crawl all over the floor. Ji Fan has also started middle school.
The rental contract is about to expire, and the old landlord has been hanging around again recently, mentioning this issue intentionally or unintentionally, and being clever, he said with a smile, "You said your business is so good, and there is a lot of traffic, how can you make money just by selling a few things? Thanks?"
"Well, after the contract expires, I won't ask for your rent. As my daughter-in-law, I went to learn Malatang, and my nephew also went to learn cold drinks, milk tea, etc. Then you will jointly contribute to the second floor. Let’s decorate it, and they’ll set up stalls inside, so everyone can help each other.”
"what do you think?"
…
The old landlord also deliberately emphasized, "If you are too busy, everyone should help each other. They are both hard-working and will definitely help you. I will not charge you any rent."
Ji Huai just wanted to laugh after hearing this.
how
Is this just another way to gain advantage
The store they worked so hard to build is allowed to attract customers? And don’t charge a penny
"Business is all about making money through partnership. Everyone has a way out. It's useless for me to just leave this house alone. It's all for you young people to worry about." The old landlord continued.
Ji Huai smiled half-heartedly, "I don't want the rent. Is there no contract? What if they get started and kick us out, won't they take possession of us all at once?"
If they make money, who will recognize them as husband and wife? Why don't you just serve them all in one pot
"Why did they drive you away? What did you say?" The old landlord smiled awkwardly, "Isn't it kind of us to join forces to pay rent to our house?"
"The first floor is so big. How much customer traffic will be lost if we set up two stalls for them? How about the second floor?" Ji Huai's expression became more calm and he said directly, "Is this being kind or pretending to be smart? You are better than me clear."
The old landlord's face darkened, "If I didn't give you this house, your business wouldn't be so good. Let me tell you, some houses have good feng shui and bring wealth. But if the land is changed, it won't be like this."
Many business people believe in this, so they all worship the God of Wealth, and some seats are arranged in a regular manner.
In the past two years, I have watched the couple make money while collecting the rent, and the store has become more and more popular. It is better for my nephew and daughter-in-law to buy something there than to collect rent.
He did have the idea of changing people. By then, the things they sell might become popular. Even if Ji Huai ruins the decoration of the store, they can still open it again, as long as they can stabilize their old customers. , everything is easy to say.
How can a person make money if he is not ruthless or sinister in the world of martial arts
Standing on the shoulders of two couples, the success rate will naturally be greater.
"Really?" Ji Huai raised his eyebrows, "I'd rather go and worship Buddha and ask if that's the case."
"How can you make so much if it's not a Feng Shui treasure? I tell you, it's definitely impossible." The old landlord said firmly.
With so much money, he wouldn't dare to move it around at will.
"You've brought a lot of things. With so much trouble every day, how many guests are not allowed to leave?" Ji Huai was not polite and said with a smile, "My wife and I bring our own good luck, and we can get well wherever we go."
The landlord didn't believe it.
The matter dragged on for half a month, and when it came time to sign the contract, before Ji Huai agreed, the old landlord took his daughter-in-law and nephew to the store to have a look.
The daughter-in-law wanted the place where the chicken feet are placed at the door, and commented, "It's quite convenient here. The place doesn't need to be big, just enough room to put some things in it."
"The cashier counter can also be moved. In fact, there is no need to put it there. It can be used as a bar counter."
Ji Huai looked at it and said nothing.
A few people thought he had acquiesced. The old landlord also said, "The kitchen in the back can be smaller and some can be moved to the second floor. The walls on the second floor need to be knocked out. You can do whatever you want." Can."
He didn't pay for it anyway.
Ji Huai stood up slowly, unhurriedly, and went to the kitchen.
A few days later, Ji Huai and his wife responded. There were many fewer tables, chairs and benches in the store, and many of the things they had purchased upstairs were also missing.
When the old landlord saw it, he quickly notified his daughter-in-law and nephew to prepare what they wanted.
As soon as the space for the chicken feet at the door was freed, she quickly put the cabinet she needed into it. In order to match the decoration style of Ji Huai and the others, she even customized the cabinet.
It costs a lot of money.
Ji Huai and his wife just moved the cashier here, and quickly changed the other end into a water bar. They can make it as large as possible, and the bigger the area, the better. They are shrewd in everything.
Back and forth, the two of them also bought tens of thousands of things.
The whole family also felt that as a result of Ji Huai and his wife's concession, they still had to rent their house after all, so they could only endure their displeasure.
I just want to catch the customer flow of this store, stand in the limelight, make some money, and recharge my energy in order to replace it in the future.
Who would have thought that after the store was renovated, Ji Huai and his wife did not reopen the store for a long time. After finally opening the door, they moved all the things away.
This is confusing.
"You don't want these anymore? Do you want new ones? Isn't it good?" The old landlord followed up and asked.
"We don't plan to renew the lease of the house. We'll move there. The second floor has been renovated. There are many floors and there are rooms to live in. It's too inconvenient here." Ji Huai smiled and pointed to the store next door.
For a moment, it was like a bolt from the blue, frightening the three of them.
"Why are we moving out? What should we do here?" The old landlord panicked and hurriedly caught up to ask, "Didn't everyone say they don't want rent?"
Ji Huai stopped and looked at it with a smile, "We are all not fools. If you want to rent a house, rent it honestly. Don't pretend to be a fool all day long. I am annoyed by how much money you make. Since you said your home is a Feng Shui treasure, then you can do it yourself." Keep it, so that you can earn it all, and no one will rob it, how great would it be?"
After saying that, he calmed down his expression and left impatiently.
The old landlord froze on the spot, confused.
The next day.
Next door to Zhang's house, "Zhiwei Food Store" opened. This time, the decoration style continues the decoration style of the previous old store, but it is more careful and artistic.
There are small private rooms on the second floor, where you can also sing karaoke.
In the first three days of opening, everything is 30% off, and the prices are the same as before, with no increase. If you want a small private room, it will cost you 20 yuan more during the day and 39 yuan more at night.
For a time, the first and second floors were full of people.
They hired six waiters and lived in their own house on the third floor. They also paid off most of the loan in the past two years, so the couple's pressure was somewhat reduced.
What the landlord mentioned about a milk tea shop or Malatang really gave Shani a good idea. She went to inquire about it and found two people with good taste to join in a partnership. They gave each other a small space and did not collect rent on a monthly basis. It's about sharing, and the other party agrees to be very happy.
She also found a shared power bank and installed it in the store. After the customer uses it, the commission is 37 cents, and the shop owner gets 7 cents.
Don't underestimate this, the net profit of this shared power bank alone can reach 5,000 yuan a month. It seems like an inconspicuous small store, but the monthly profit is very amazing.
Ji's father looked at the customers who kept coming in. He was full of energy. He was even more diligent than Ji Huai and never had a moment of idleness.
During this period, Tong Zhenmei came over once and wanted Ji Huai to give her money. It was said that she owed a lot of money playing mahjong. Ji's father became angry and brought a bucket of water for washing mops. He stood at the door with a sullen face and directly He poured it on her and yelled, "Why don't you get out of here?"
After saying that, he pointed at her nose and cursed, "I'm telling you, as long as I'm here for a day, you can't get a penny from here! I won't give you a penny!"
The virgin plum was turned into a drowned rat. She didn't dare to say a word and left again in despair.
As for the old landlord and his family, although Ji Huai and his wife did not destroy the store, they moved most of the things away. If they want to reopen, they must buy new ones.
Nowadays, Ji Huai and his wife no longer open a store inside, and the space they occupy is unreasonable, looking empty and awkward.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and decorate again.
When it opened, it cost nearly two hundred thousand, but it couldn't compete with Ji Huai and the others. It could be said that there was no advantage at all.
There are all kinds of snacks in the store, all delicious and delicious, can their drinks and Malatang be comparable? Besides, the taste is really average.
The store opened by Ji Huai and his friends is only two steps away from here, which doesn't affect regular customers at all. There are two floors above and below, and the experience is much better than here.
The old landlord not only lost the rent, but also paid 200,000 yuan. After three months of operation, the business was extremely bleak. He had used the real estate certificate to borrow 100,000 yuan and asked them to renovate it, but he had no money to pay back.
Now it's better. After losing his wife and losing his troops, the family is in trouble every day.
Four months later, the store could no longer be opened and had to be closed, but my daughter-in-law got involved with her nephew.
He was so angry that he had a heart attack and lost half his life.
Later, the house was never rented out, and no one wanted it. Finally, someone wanted to rent a single room, but he thought the night market was too noisy.
Ji Fan and Zhang Jiaxiao grew up playing around.
During this period, Mr. Zhang fell ill for a while and was sent to recuperate by Aunt Zhang. Mrs. Yan followed him to take care of him. Zhang Jiaxiao was still living at Ji's house.
When Ji Fan was a child, it was Ji Fan who stayed with the Zhang family. Since then, Zhang Jiaxiao has lived in the Ji family. Later, the two children entered the sixth grade. They thought they would go to the city to attend junior high school soon, so they did not move. Return to Zhang's house.
The left and right are also close together. There are still a few empty rooms upstairs in Ji's house. She can live in them as long as she has a pair of chopsticks. With so many employees eating every day, it is not a problem at all.
Shani has always liked her, and she will remember her when buying things for Ji Ranran and Ji Fan.
Moreover, Ji Fan will also go to the market in the future, and the couple will not be able to take care of him. In fact, they also hope that the Zhang family and his wife, who will work in the city in the future, can also take care of their son.
Zhang Jiaxiao and Ji Fan have been playing together since they were children. She has always been lively and cheerful. Ji Fan is just like Ji Huai. He is boring and has no unnecessary emotions. When the store is busy, he will also go there. help.
He has been helping the family since he was very young. Ji Huai is quite good at handling him and is a diligent young man.
Shani bought the red string for the two of them on Ji Fan's fourth birthday, and they wore it until sixth grade. Their classmates always said they were wearing couple's bracelets.
"This is not a couple bracelet." Zhang Jiaxiao explained for the nth time, speechless. "I have worn it for a long time, since kindergarten."
"Why does Ji Fan also have one? Then he is in love and has been dating since kindergarten." The classmates started making noises again.
"I bought two at that time. My mother bought them. They look good. They were in kindergarten. What do you know? Now I think they look good too." Zhang Jiaxiao said, raising her hand, "Don't they look good?"
"That's a guaranteed marriage."
"Yes, you are just in love."
…
The group of people were chattering again. Zhang Jiaxiao was two heads above the other, and Ji Fan was in the same class as her. He glanced at her and continued to read his comic book, completely unaffected.
When he went to pick up water after class, he passed by her. Zhang Jiaxiao was doing homework, so she handed him her water cup, "Thirty-six-degree warm water."
Ji Fan took it.
"That's right." She continued to copy words and frowned, "Can you please explain it next time, that's not a couple's bracelet at all?"
"Can't you just ignore it? Do you know what it means to be more noisy and joyful? Zhang Jiaxiao, who do you blame for being stupid?" Ji Fan said and walked forward.
He held her pink water glass in his left hand, and also had a red bracelet on his wrist.
Zhang Jiaxiao was so angry that he puffed up his cheeks, clenched his pen tightly, and gritted his teeth, "Ji Fan, you will be dead when school is over!"
I must have snatched his chicken wings and eaten them.
Just wait to starve.
