After calculation, the small workshop made two thousand yuan in one month of operation.
In this day and age, two thousand yuan is a lot of money.
Since all the ingredients used by Jiang Zhiling to make the base come from space, there is no cost. Excluding the employees' wages, everything else is almost pure profit.
In this era, no one sells base ingredients. Jiang Zhiling is the first to try it. There are no competitors, so the business of base ingredients can be good and make more money.
I have to say that doing business in the 1980s was much easier than it is today.
Today, Jiang Zhiling took the money and headed to the city to choose a suitable store.
"When we first start doing it, we should do it in a busy area. This will make it easier to attract others' attention. When we make a sign in the future, everything else will be easy to handle." Jiang Zhining murmured.
The profit from the small workshop plus her savings will allow her to have a wider range of choices.
Arriving on the bustling street, Jiang Zhiling took a fancy to an unused shop with two houses combined.
"Auntie, can you rent this shop to me?" Jiang Zhiling stepped forward and asked with a smile.
"Girl, what are you going to use it for? This shop in my house is not cheap." The aunt looked her up and down and said with a smile.
"I want to do a small food business, similar to a restaurant." Jiang Zhiling responded with a smile, "How much is it? You give me a price first, and then I'll see if it's suitable."
The aunt thought for a while and said, "The rent for my shop is two hundred yuan a month. If the girl wants to rent it for a year or more, it can be cheaper."
The rent of two hundred yuan is indeed not cheap. After all, many people's salary is only a few dozen yuan.
Jiang Zhiling wanted to bargain and said with a smile: "Aunt, can the price be cheaper? I want to rent it for one year. If business is good in the future, I will renew the lease for a long time."
Hearing this, the aunt said hesitantly: "But my rent is already very cost-effective. If you go and ask around, their shop prices are a little more expensive than mine."
Just as Jiang Zhiling was about to speak, she heard Lin Chunmei's sharp voice: "Hey, Zhiling, you don't want to do business, do you?"
Jiang Zhiling turned around and saw Lin Chunmei passing by holding Shen Anan's hand.
"Yes." Jiang Zhiling responded calmly.
"You only want to do business with your little wealth as a man? Do you want to open a store here? You're not afraid of losing money." Shen An'an said contemptuously, "Why, your small workshop lost money, and you want to switch to something else?" Already?"
Lin Chunmei looked at her and raised her head slightly: "Zhi Ning, today is not the same as before. Without parents like me and An An's father, if you lose money in business, no one can help you."
If she hadn't thought that she was the wife of the group leader, Lin Chunmei would not have wanted to give her face.
"Don't rent to her, otherwise you won't even be able to collect the rent." Shen Anan said to her aunt.
Hearing this, the aunt was just about to reject Jiang Zhiling when she saw Jiang Zhiling said with a smile: "Aunt, the rent is 180. How about I rent it for a year?"
"Then you have to give me two months' deposit first." The aunt said uneasily.
"Then if I pay one year's rent, can it be ten yuan cheaper per month?" Jiang Zhiling asked gently.
Seeing Jiang Zhiling's gentle smile and polite manner, the aunt nodded: "Okay."
"Full payment? Jiang Zhiling, what nonsense are you talking about? That's two thousand yuan! Even you can pay the full amount..."
Before Shen Anan finished speaking, Jiang Zhiling calmly took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from her bag.
Lin Chunmei was equally shocked. She didn't expect Jiang Zhiling to be able to pay in one go.
That’s two thousand yuan! Even the Jiang family couldn't take it out at once.
"This is 2040, let's sign the lease contract now."
The aunt was also surprised and said repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go get ready now." As the aunt said, she hurriedly ran into the house.
Jiang Zhiling turned to look at them and said with a chuckle: "Thanks to you, the price negotiation can go so smoothly."
Hearing this, Shen Anan and Lin Chunmei's faces turned green.
"You shouldn't have squeezed out Captain Song's family, right? He is really unlucky for eight lifetimes by marrying you." Shen Anan said jealously.
Lin Chunmei stared at the two thousand yuan, wishing to snatch the money away.
"Zhi Ning, you are still too young. Doing business is not playing house. You are not a business material. You should just stay at home and take care of other people's children." Lin Chunmei said coolly.
It has not been long since the opening of the self-employed private sector, and few people are willing to try it.
Before Jiang Zhiling could speak, she heard a voice: "Boss Jiang, why are you here?"
Jiang Zhiling glanced sideways and looked at the visitor with a smile: "It turns out to be Boss Chen. I'm here to look at the shop."
"Boss Jiang, are you going to expand the workshop? You are really awesome." The man gave a thumbs up, "The business of your small workshop is really good. Next time I purchase more goods, you have to give me a preferential price."
Jiang Zhining responded with a crooked eyebrow: "Of course I will give Boss Chen the best price. I am not as good as you said. Someone just said that I don't know how to do business and I will definitely lose money."
Hearing this conversation, Shen Anan and Lin Chunmei's faces turned even greener, as if they had been slapped hard several times.
Boss Chen looked at the two of them, understood immediately, and said: "Boss Jiang is the best business woman I have ever seen, and her family's background is also excellent. Boss Jiang is better than women like you who only ask for money." .”
Shen Anan's face turned darker, and her hands held the hem of her skirt hard.
Because Jiang Zhiling was criticized for slandering her in the compound last time, and because Jiang Zhiling was the regimental leader's wife, the military wives were unwilling to talk to her.
Because of this, she didn't even know how the workshop business was.
Lin Chunmei was so angry that she pulled Shen Anan away with a dark face.
Jiang Zhiling watched them leave in despair, with a cold expression: "Next, you will be jealous."
After signing the lease contract, Jiang Zhiling returned home.
After dinner, we were busy in the room.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Song Yuzhou returned to the room and saw Jiang Zhiling holding a pen and drawing on paper.
"What is this?" Song Yuzhou was curious.
"This is the design drawing. I am designing the interior decoration of the hot pot restaurant. When the time comes, I will decorate it according to the design drawing." Jiang Zhiling's eyes still stayed on the design drawing.
Song Yuzhou looked at the pen drawing on the paper, and a shop with an antique flavor appeared on the paper.
"Daughter-in-law, you draw so well." Song Yuzhou marveled.
"I am professional in painting." Jiang Zhiling responded proudly.
She wanted to imitate the decoration of a modern hot pot restaurant, so that her hot pot restaurant would also have a simple and elegant taste.
Song Yuzhou was sitting aside, but he saw Jiang Zhiling concentrating on drawing the design, not leaving any peripheral vision to her.
"Daughter-in-law, you have been painting for a long time, please take a rest." Song Yuzhou felt sorry for her busyness.
Although his salary is only over one hundred, combined with the savings from previous years, it can still make her life easy.
But Jiang Zhiling wants to open a store and do business. As her husband, he will naturally support her fully, but he will also feel sorry for her.
"No need." Jiang Zhining didn't even raise her head.
"Daughter-in-law, it's time to rest."
"You go to sleep first."
Seeing her absent-minded response, Song Yuzhou suddenly became aware of the crisis.
In addition, Jiang Zhiling's mind has been on business for the past two days.
Thinking of this, Song Yuzhou decided to defend his position in Jiang Zhiling's heart.
Jiang Zhining was about to finish the painting when her waist was suddenly wrapped by a pair of strong hands.
Song Yuzhou hugged her from behind, bent down, and rested his chin on her shoulder: "Daughter-in-law."
Seeing this, Jiang Zhiling looked at him curiously: "What are you doing?"
