When the fighting was raging here, Liu Xia Lian and Li Damei went to the boiler factory to take back the house. The storefront they bought last year was a commercial property built by the factory itself. It was not expensive, had a large area, and was mostly independent. There were no residents and there was no need to worry about complaints.

Director Jia received the guests personally, checked the original contract one by one, and also hired someone to do the measurements.

"Four hundred and fifty square meters. Considering that you opened a restaurant, you added thirty square meters, so the total is four hundred and eighty square meters. These thirty square meters are given as a gift. Of course, you have no problem using them. But if there is a day when the house is demolished, the state will not recognize these thirty square meters. Do you understand?"

"I see. I understand the reason. The house is not bad, but it's too rough. It will cost a lot of money to renovate it."

The factory built its own house without public areas. The first floor is nearly 300 square meters, and the second floor is more than 200 square meters. The positioning level has also been improved, positioning it as a mid-range hotel. Except for a small number of scattered seats, the rest are all private rooms. As for the second floor, a wedding seat is reserved in the middle, and there are more than ten tables next to it. Generally, a family wedding will have this number of guests, and at most 15 tables can be held. If there are more than 15 tables, they can go downstairs.

Director Jia still couldn't believe that such a young woman could be the owner of a restaurant.

"Xiao Liu, are you really the boss?"

"Of course, I'll definitely come and visit when the store reopens."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely come." Director Jia had a lot of things to do, so he went to take care of other things.

Li Damei was very envious: "This store is really grand, with two floors covering nearly 500 square meters, which is big enough to hold banquets. This is quite a good scale."

"Why don't you switch with Brother Xu? You can manage the restaurant, and Brother Xu can manage the 80-square-meter clothing store."

Li Damei shook her head like a rattle. "No, no, no, I don't want to. Opening a restaurant is too troublesome. There are drunkards everywhere. They drink and eat without paying. There are also people who act like masters. There are all kinds of people. A big restaurant employs more people, so the management cost is high. The profitability is not as good as my small shop, an 80-square-meter wholesale store. Let alone other things, if I can develop 100 customers who come to the big market to set up stalls, my business will be stable, and the profit will be no worse than this big restaurant."

"Wholesale and retail have different tax rates. I'll have to tell the accountant about this when I apply for the license. Don't make a mistake. If wholesale is taxed as retail, you'll lose a lot of money. Let's go and look at the clothing store."

Director Jia gave the key and went to do other things. The clothing store was not far away. The first floor was a basement store, and there were five floors above for residents.

The 80 square meters also includes a small toilet and a small kitchen, so the actual area is only about 70 square meters. There is no problem with displaying clothes and shoes, but the inventory is much worse.

"After the business is established, if the wholesale business is booming, I plan to rent a separate yard as a warehouse so that I can transfer goods at any time. This place is really not suitable for warehousing."

"Okay, you decide. Don't go too far. Buy a footstool tricycle. Rural markets are getting more active now. Let's look for cheap sources of goods suitable for rural markets. Goods from state-owned factories are expensive and not suitable for rural markets."

The final place to get the goods is Shimenzhuang. There are many small factories here, which is known as the Little Guangzhou. There are all kinds of cheap goods. For example, the yellow rubber-soled sneakers, the demand is large, and the small factories can lower the price to 70 cents. The train freight is low, and the freight here is only 5 cents. Li Damei adds 25 cents to the wholesale price and sells it for 1 yuan. Customers who go to the big market take it away. The market asks for 2 yuan, and it can be sold for 1.78 yuan. The hawkers who can shout can sell 50 or 60 pairs a day. This era is an era of wealth creation. All those who have business acumen and dare to do business have become rich.

"Okay, that's settled. When Brother Xu renovates the place, we'll do it together. We'll still use Captain Lu. Their workmanship is good and cheap. The decoration companies in the provincial capital are too expensive."

The decoration style will be decided by Li Damei, and we need to communicate at any time about the specific details.

In the afternoon, Liu Xia Lian will take people to pick up the vehicles, ten large transport tractors.

Li Damei said: "I will visit Mr. Xu's home this afternoon to see what his parents think. If they agree, then it's settled."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. Remember to buy some gifts. It's not too shabby for your first visit. How about I get you a 30-year-old ginseng. The ones I dug up at Mount Wanda a few days ago are not for sale and are not worth much."

"Okay, I'm just wondering what gift to get. You go to the store and buy a gift bag and I'll get it from the car."

Liu Xialian took a wild ginseng that was about thirty years old, weighing about 30 or 40 grams. The price of a ginseng of this age ranged from 200 to 800 yuan, and it was not uncommon to sell it for a thousand yuan. In an era when the annual salary was 500 or 600 yuan, it was quite impressive to receive such a gift.

Liu Xia Lian sent Li Damei to the exit of the train station and then went to do other things. Teacher Xu's train arrived at 3 pm, and the two went home together.

Teacher Xu’s full name is Xu Jiuan, which means long-term stability and peace.

Li Damei waited at the exit for more than half an hour before she saw Xu Jiuan coming out with a shoulder bag on his back. Seeing Li Damei, he quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm here."

"Jiuan, have you eaten?"

"No, let's go home and eat. It's not far. It's only four kilometers from here to my home. We'll be there in a while."

"Okay, let's go."

Xu Jiuan saw that Li Damei was still holding the gift and asked, "What did you buy?"

"I didn't buy anything, just some local specialties. Let's go."

The two of them took the bus directly to the Education Bureau Dormitory Station and got off. The house was quite new and should have been built not long ago. Li Damei also remembered that the radio reporter Xie's house was nearby. This area was full of dormitories for government agencies, either this hall or that bureau, and there was no ordinary person.

"I live in Unit 301, Building 1, Unit 2. It has good lighting and is a three-bedroom apartment."

Xu Jiuan's father is an elementary school teacher and his mother works in the Education Bureau, and they are both leaders.

Li Damei was a little nervous, but she was a manager after all, so she still had the necessary aura. It's just that these days individual business owners have to be three inches shorter when meeting officials.

"Mom, Mom." Xu Jiuan knocked on the door a few times, and a thin man in his fifties wearing glasses opened the door.

"Jiuan, this is the Damei you mentioned, right?"

"Yes, Dad. I'm almost starving to death." Xu Jiuan pulled Li Damei into the house.

The living room is really small these days, barely a dozen square meters. Li Damei pushed the gift forward and said, "Uncle, this is my first visit, so I brought some local specialties from the mountains."

"Damei, you're welcome. Come, have some water." Uncle Xu poured a cup of tea for Damei.

A woman in her early forties, dressed neatly and with a slightly fierce temperament, directly pulled Xu Jiuan to the master bedroom.

The soundproofing in rooms is not very good these days, and Li Damei has sensitive ears.
