But after thinking about it, Mei Zhonghua had another difficulty.
"Father, will opening a shop now be said to be speculative?"
Mei Zhonghua has a headache whenever he thinks of this.
In recent years, he has been in small business, and he is often pointed at his back for speculation. He really dare not carry this pot.
"Isn't there a public-private partnership now? It's not that private individuals can't do business, but the risk is a bit high, so you have to see the situation clearly."
Grandpa Li also had lingering fears about this one. He has been running a small business since he was young, starting from the dye shop to the cloth shop later, he did it step by step. But then the direction of the wind changed, and he was also labeled as speculative. He couldn't turn around for so many years. If he hadn't been for some of his own craftsmanship, his family would have starved to death.
"Or... wait and see, now I really don't have the courage."
Of course Mei Zhonghua is happy to get the support of his old husband, but the policy restricts his planning. However, based on the current national conditions, Mei Zhonghua predicts that the policy will definitely change, which is also the need for social development!
Waiting for another month, it is almost the end of the year, this day is December 28th!
Mei Xiaoran said to Mei Zhonghua after school in the evening, "Dad, you can go to the shop now."
"I'm afraid of being labeled."
It is false to say that he does not want to find a shop to do business, but Mei Zhonghua is also afraid of being criticized.
"Dad, no. I heard that the country has already met and approved it. What it says is to reform and open up, that is, the country must implement internal reforms and open up to the outside world. In the future, small businesses will be liberalized, and no one will say this again. It's speculation."
Mei Zhonghua heard this with suspicion, but he didn't even know the news, but the girl heard about it
"Dad, if you don't believe me, you can borrow a newspaper and read it to see if I'm right?"
Mei Xiaoran had waited for this day for a long time, and finally it was the day when the policy was released.
"I don't really believe what your kid said. I'll find a newspaper and read it." Mei Zhonghua, from the girl's excited face, instinctively thought that what she said was not a lie, but seeing is believing, he always wants Only when I saw the content in the newspaper, I was sure!
In the morning of the next day, Mei Zhonghua really went to borrow a copy to watch.
The result is really the same as what Mei Xiaoran said, the country
The home is indeed going to reform and open up... This is good news!
Mei Zhonghua put down the newspaper and started walking down the street. He also has his own keen tentacles. Only when the policy is put down, he must move as quickly as possible to find a shop. When everyone pays attention... Good shops have been robbed. .
After looking for two days, it really asked Mei Zhonghua to choose a good shop.
The location is on Chayuanxia Street, close to the county's first primary school and movie theater, and it is the most prosperous area in Kangping County.
He took the money and went to the landlord to explain his intention to rent two shops.
The landlord’s family name is Ji, and the family’s financial situation is not good. There are many brothers and the burden is great. Although there is a storefront house, he has not considered doing business. Seeing Mei Zhonghua running to rent a shop, the family thought Mei Zhonghua was joking, "Brother, my house is just for people. You suddenly said that you want to rent it. How do we live?"
"Brother, I'm the storefront of your house in the truth, I can increase the rent!"
Mei Zhonghua showed his sincerity, "The rent for a room in someone else’s house is five yuan a month, and two rooms are ten yuan. Your house is a facade house. I would rather double it. If you rent it to someone else The rent for one year is only one hundred and two. I will give you two hundred and four. I can also sign a long-term rent for you. I can rent for five years and give you five years of rent in one go!"
If it were not for the limited money in his hand, Mei Zhonghua really wanted to rent it for ten or eight years, but with his current ability, he would have to pay 1,200 yuan for a five-year lease, and he would not be able to take it out if he had more.
When the family heard this, they secretly calculated in their hearts: The rent for five years is only one thousand two, and the average salary for a month of work this year is only about thirty yuan, and only three hundred and sixty yuan a year, one thousand and two hundred yuan. You have to eat or drink to save three or four years of wages, the money is not a small sum!
There are two brothers in the Ji family who are planning to get married, but the woman needs a bicycle, a watch, and a sewing machine, all of which need money. The marriage is settled!
The Ji family is now only a widow mother. Old man Ji has not been there a few years ago. For the sake of money, the old lady said, “It’s not impossible to rent out houses, but there are so many houses in the Ji family. If the rent is out, at home
My house is not enough to live in, and I have to rent another house. This is really not cost-effective. Unless you can make up for the loss of renting a house for five years, two houses cost ten yuan a month, one year is one hundred and two, and five years is six hundred yuan. "
As soon as Mei Zhonghua heard that, if he counted in this way, he would have to pay one thousand eight hundred for the rent alone, which was far beyond his budget. If he takes out one thousand and two to rent a house, the remaining money will definitely be enough to buy the goods, but if he takes out one thousand and eight in one go, he will have to get the counter for the remaining money. It's not enough to buy goods.
"Madam, I really want to rent your house, but your request is too high. I have already paid ten yuan a month for each room. You still don’t think it’s enough, and you have to pay you again. The family’s loss in renting a house, such a year’s rent is three hundred and sixty, how can the house in Kangping County have such a high price?"
"Then you can think about it again. My house is not meant to be rented. I don't have enough to live in."
When Mrs. Ji said so, Mei Zhonghua couldn't hold on anymore, and only said that he would go home and consider it.
It happened to be Sunday. Mei Xiaoran saw her father come back frowning and couldn't help asking, "Dad, what annoyance have you encountered again?"
"What annoyance? I'm not listening to you. I went to the street to look at the shops. Don't tell me, you really made me fancy two rooms. Those two rooms are well out of the way, and they are on the street. The house is big. It’s deep and deep, so it’s most suitable for a storefront. But the price is not agreed. The rent is three hundred and six a year. If I rent for five years, it will be 18 thousand. How can I have so much money?"
Mei Xiaoran's eyes rolled, "Dad, when people told you about the rent, did they bite to death, saying that they would not rent out for a minute?"
"That's not true. You also know that our two rooms are rented for ten yuan a month. I gave that house twenty yuan, and paid them a rent for five years at one thousand two. This price is good enough. Now, looking at the entire Kangping County, it is estimated that this is the highest price."
"Dad, don’t worry first. After lunch, I’ll go to see you and try to get the house down. But I’ll give you a reminder. It’s estimated that the rent of 20 yuan is not enough, but 30 is too much. It's high, let's see if we can make a compromise?"
