112: Renovation Storefront (2 More)
There are not many professionals in house decoration now. Although Liu Yong is using a mason as a guise, he used to do smuggling work, but he has really learned how to be a mason.
Plastering the walls, tiling, and even hanging the ceiling, Liu Yong couldn't help it.
Xia Xiaolan distrusted her uncle, and it was more troublesome to find another worker to communicate with. Anyway, I don't have much experience in decoration these years, so it's better to tell her uncle if it takes effort to explain to those workers.
Liu Yong was confused, Xia Xiaolan was talking to him slowly by the side, he probably understood what to do.
Including the hooks on the wall, some poles to be mounted on the wall, and how to place the hangers and hangers, Xia Xiaolan's "design drawings" already showed the layout of the entire store. Due to cost constraints, many ideas cannot be realized. For example, in Xia Xiaolan's impression, there is no wooden door in the store selling fashion, and it is not fully equipped with transparent glass. How can passers-by be attracted by the new styles in the store?
In a high-end fashion store, the room temperature is constant throughout the year, so there will be no sticky sweat when trying on clothes in summer, and you are not afraid of being frozen after taking off your coat in winter. The mirrors and lights in front of the full-length mirror are also specially designed, so that when you put on your clothes, your complexion and body will improve, and you can't help but want to pay for the clothes.
Xia Xiaolan couldn't get such a light, and there was no such professional designer.
She can only do her best to try to get the best effect in the limited renovation funds.
"I made an estimate. Even if I don't change the store for a while, it will cost several thousand yuan after it is installed."
"How much money do you have now? Just paid 2,000 yuan in rent."
It was 9,000 yuan before. Xia Xiaolan took 5,000 yuan of goods, leaving only 4,000 yuan in working capital. After the rent paid yesterday, there should have been only 2,000 yuan left. However, she also took back her clothes for three or four days and sold half of them. The most popular item is the men's wool coat with an asking price of 140 yuan, and other items are paid with interest, and more than 4,000 yuan has been collected.
In other words, Xia Xiaolan still has more than 6,000 yuan in her hands.
She and Liu Yong estimated that more than 6,000 yuan might be enough to achieve the desired effect.
Liu Yong thought about it for a long time, "The counters that the National Cotton Factory doesn't want can also be changed. The wood is good. Now, if you ask a carpenter to build a three-door wardrobe, it will cost 150 yuan to go up... This aspect can save a little. money."
Nowadays, large wardrobes with three doors are popular for weddings. They are painted and chiseled, and some pieces of glass are inlaid to make a diamond pattern on it.
Xia Xiaolan thought it was earthy, but it was the current trend.
She would not put such cabinets in the store, and the few display cabinets left by the National Cotton Factory can be dismantled and used.
This amount of money in hand is enough to decorate. It will take at least a month for the shop to be installed. During this time, Xia Xiaolan will still set up a stall and continue to use money to make money in order to accumulate more wealth. When the store is renovated, the purchase money is almost enough again. Let's just say that this shop can't just make money and not spend it, let alone the business of the two partnerships, Xia Xiaolan can't use this capital at will, and usually rely on Liu Fen to earn the money - sell the oil residue every day, and the money earned will be donated to her mother. The girls have more than enough daily expenses.
Xia Xiaolan thought that her short-term goal now is to make a dividend before the new year.
Other stores are closed for the New Year. Her newly opened store, I am afraid that the New Year is a busy time.
Liu Yong and Xia Xiaolan talked for a long time. First, they started buying materials with 2,000 yuan, and then got help from a mason he knew before, and started to decorate the shop.
Xia Xiaolan received a telegram from Zhou Cheng.
"...Xiaolan, the clothes, jujubes and tea have been received. Wearing the duck down jacket you bought in the cold wind will warm not only the body but also the heart. Jujubes are very sweet. Thinking of your heart, I don't want to be with you. Others share. But there are too many tea leaves, I am afraid that they will deteriorate due to moisture, so I gave some to others... Yangcheng White Pearl is the sister of Bai Zhiyong, a comrade-in-arms. I have helped Bai Zhiyong, and I have more trust in his character. You can also trust him, but you must be wary of others, you have to continue to investigate Comrade White Pearl... I miss you all the time and look forward to seeing you again."
Telegrams are meant to be seen, unlike private letters that can be sealed.
Perhaps this is the case, Zhou Chengcai tried his best to use a serious tone in the telegram, but even so, everyone could see that this was a telegram sent to a lover, and his fiery emotions were so intense that it overflowed between the lines.
This kind of heat has infected Xia Xiaolan. Love makes people feel young. Xia Xiaolan feels that she is very energetic now.
Liu Yong is in charge of the decoration, and Xia Xiaolan can't take it lightly, and she has to pay close attention to the effect of the decoration. The decoration would cost thousands or even tens of thousands. This money was spent little by little. Fortunately, it was not necessary to take it all out at once, and it gave Xia Xiaolan time to move.
Gotta figure out a way to sell those men's wool coats.
The quality is good and the style is good. There is no reason to hold the goods in her hands. Xia Xiaolan feels that she has not found the right place. Where are the rich people in the commercial city? The wealthy female workers belong to the National Cotton Factory, so her shop will be opened on Erqi Road, which is very close to several Chinese cotton factories and a place where consumption power gathers.
The rich male workers must be the Railway Bureau.
Xia Xiaolan decided to set up a stall in another place. The place where Liu Yong’s house rents is the dormitory of the Railway Bureau. The business is the railway hub in the Central Plains. The housing conditions of the bureau are a little more comfortable... At least someone's house can be vacated and rented out.
Xia Xiaolan said that she would set up a stall in another place, and Li Fengmei hesitated.
She lives in the family building now, and only says she is a relative of the original owner, and her neighbors also know that her family is self-employed. Those people don't say anything
, In fact, they look down on self-employed. Self-employed people come and go in the wind and rain, but the employees of the Railway Bureau are iron rice bowls. Li Fengmei and Liu Yong are not ashamed. She is afraid that other children in the yard will look down on Liu Zitao.
When Liu Zitao just transferred to the city, it was the time to reshape the three views, and the children were also very sensitive. Li Fengmei herself was reluctant to wear expensive duck down jackets, but she did not treat her son badly. This kid still speaks with an Anqing accent. When he doesn't speak, he looks no different from the local children in Shangdu.
Xia Xiaolan did not expect this. She was a village girl with the soul of an executive of a large company. How could she understand the sensitivity and prudence of rural people when they first entered the city?
It was still at night when Xia Xiaolan talked to her mother, Liu Fen hesitated to say what was in her heart, and Xia Xiaolan woke up as if struck by lightning.
She knew that she would take Liu Fen to see the world, but she didn't expect that her aunt Li Fengmei was in the same situation. Just because Li Fengmei was more outgoing than Liu Fen, she didn't care about other people's scruples.
Xia Xiaolan changed his words the next day:
"Auntie, I think the goods are going a bit slow this time, or we will split the stall into two, and I will be responsible for selling men's coats, and you will sell the rest."
After Xia Xiaolan said this, Li Fengmei breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know if I can, don't think my aunt is stupid, I'll learn it slowly."
