Three days later, Mei Zhonghua took a few notaries, and under the witness of these notaries, formally signed a rental contract with the Ji family.
Taking into account that Mrs. Ji is old, Mei Zhonghua is also afraid of any disputes, so the Ji brothers directly sign the contract and press their fingerprints. And he also listened to the old husband's arrangement, and wrote the priority lease in the contract. After seeing this, Mrs. Ji also had an idea and asked to add a clause to the contract, which means that no matter what Mei Zhonghua’s future business will do, the rent will never be refunded.
Mei Zhonghua readily agreed, and took a pen to sign and press fingerprints, and the notaries also signed and notarized.
The contract is in duplicate, one in Mei Zhonghua's hands, and one in Ji's family.
Mei Zhonghua paid the remaining 1,300 yuan in cash to the Ji family in person, and obtained the key to the shop.
When I opened the shop, Ji’s house was indeed very clean. Although the house was a bit old, it was cleaned up and there was no rubbish on the ground.
Mei Zhonghua happily inspected the house, and specially called a few notaries to the state-run restaurant to have a meal, thanking them for doing this favor.
For the remaining days, Mei Zhonghua pulled the prepared counter into the shop, and put the clothes and shoes that came in on the shelves.
When I was eating dinner on December 30th, Mei Zhonghua put down his chopsticks and said to Li Mingyun, "Mingyun, I have something important to announce about our family."
Li Mingyun glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "This is about to celebrate the New Year. What major event do you want to announce? Buying the New Year? You can rest assured, this matter is on my body... Anyway, you didn't worry about it in previous years."
"Who told you this?"
Mei Zhonghua cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Ming Yun, you have been married to me all these years, and I have been doing small business everywhere. Although small business earns not much, it is barely enough for our family to eat, but this After all, it’s not a long-term solution! My small business running around depends on the sky to eat, and if the weather is good, I can go out. If the weather is bad, I can only stay at home. Seeing that both children have gone to junior high school, I feel like Doing a small business can't even afford the children's school tuition..."
Li Mingyun was also a little sad, "I said that this is what I thought in my heart, and I also thought about it.
, If our family keeps going like this, it really won’t make enough for the children to go to school. Although I can help others to make gloves or something, they are all odd jobs. I do more when I have work, and I can’t do it when I don’t work. It is not safe to earn this money. "
"Mingyun, I know you think so too, so I thought, you have to have your own shop. As long as you have your own shop, you don’t have to watch the sky and eat in the future. No matter what the sky is, we can do it. Doing business." Mei Zhonghua said here and took out the two keys with a smile, "This is the key to the shop I rented. I decided to open on New Year's Day. The shop is almost cleaned up. Now I am waiting for you, the proprietress. Come here."
"Huh? When did you rent the shop? Why don't I know?"
Li Mingyun was really surprised. If Mei Zhonghua hadn't told her tonight, she would have been kept in the dark!
"I have rented this house for more than a week. I just want to clean it up and let you see it. I will take you to see the house tomorrow morning... You don't want to go to the factory to do handicrafts for others anymore, go to our own shop As the boss, you can help me see the store when I usually buy goods."
Mei Xiaoran said happily, "Mom, don't be surprised. My dad told my grandpa and grandmother about this. If it weren't for the support of the two elderly people, my dad would not have the courage!"
Although Li Mingyun held the key in his hand, he was still a little worried, "Why do you think of renting a storefront? Are you not afraid that people say we are speculating?"
"Mom, you must have never read a newspaper. The country is holding meetings these days to discuss the need for our people to invigorate the economy and reform and opening up. It is now supported by the state, not speculation."
"real or fake?"
Li Mingyun couldn't believe it, but there is really nothing terrifying for a girl to say that. The country has supported it. Who can beat the country
The next day, Mei Zhonghua took Li Mingyun to Chayuan Xiajie, took the key and opened the shop door, "Mingyun, look, this is our newly rented shop."
When Li Mingyun saw it, he was suddenly speechless with excitement.
The shop surface has been sorted out by Mei Zhonghua, and the counter is neatly arranged. There are shoes, socks, gloves and other things inside, and there are still hanging on the back wall.
Clothes pants...
According to Mei Zhonghua's idea, I kind of wanted to make it into a department store, not only for clothes but also for selling, like vanishing cream and facial oil, it was Mei Xiaoran who let him dispel this idea. Mei Xiaoran said that selling things should also be classified. If you sell everything, there will be no special features. How can there be so many things on these two small shops? Besides, there is not so much capital!
That’s why Mei Zhonghua concentrated on selling clothes, shoes and socks. In his subconscious mind, clothes were the key points. The conspicuous positions on the back wall were all ironed new clothes, which looked very attractive. .
"Mingyun, how do you think I cleaned up?"
Li Mingyun looked and looked, and nodded, "It looks like it's more upscale than the state-owned store... Do you think someone will actually buy things in our store? What if they are afraid of speculation and dare not enter the store? "
"Mom, you have to be a bit courageous to do everything! You should have heard of the big contractors in Xiaoxigang Village, Fengyang? Now the streets and alleys are discussing this matter, and the state has not dealt with it. That is to allow others to do it like this. It is good for the development of the country, and the country will support it."
Li Mingyun is still skeptical, "I said so, but no one in the county does this?"
"Mom, doesn't it mean that no one will do it now? Doesn't it mean that no one will do it in the future! With a great opportunity now, why do you want to fall behind? Let's walk in front of others this time
Mei Xiaoran was anxious and encouraged and inspired, "Mom, if you make small handicrafts for the family, is that exploited?"
"How can it be considered exploitation? That is the country's consent!"
"That's not right. As long as it is allowed by the state, what we do is not illegal or disciplinary, so what can't be done?"
Li Mingyun looked at her girl, and then at her man, nodded cautiously, "Well, let's listen to you, let's try and do it first."
"Mom, don't worry. My dad doesn't know how to do business. I think that as soon as our store opens tomorrow, there will definitely be business. Maybe we can still make a lot of money a year ago. What about the money!"
Li Mingyun didn't dare to have such beautiful expectations, and shook his head with a wry smile, "I hope so."
