"Why are you so anxious?"
Maybe he was a little anxious, so Dongzi's tone was not very good. When he heard it suddenly, it felt like a quarrel.
Cuifen was already in a low mood, but Dongzi yelled at her, which made her eyes red with anger.
She wiped her wet eyes with the back of her hand and said word by word: "Yes, you don't have to be anxious and I am anxious, okay? Su Dong, ask yourself, I have been with you for so many years, and have I ever mentioned anything excessive to you?" Is it my request? Take the matter of buying a house as an example, am I doing it for myself? Why do you talk to me so loudly!"
When Cuifen got angry, Dongzi's momentum instantly weakened.
He hurriedly explained: "I didn't lose my temper with you, I just spoke a little too loudly. Don't be as knowledgeable as me."
"I also told you about the house. It's not that I won't buy it. It's just that our savings are so pitiful now that we might not even be able to buy a house. I'm not thinking that we could earn more and save more a few years ago. Let’s save up in one step and buy a bigger house.”
Cuifen sat down angrily, but turned her back to Dongzi and refused to speak to him.
Helpless, Dongzi had no choice but to ask Xu Wanning: "Sister-in-law, do you think there is something wrong with my idea?"
"Theoretically speaking, there is nothing wrong with your idea. No matter how much you are capable of doing, this is what a down-to-earth person should do. But Dongzi, don't forget, you still have me and you Brother Anzi should be your backer!"
After a pause, Xu Wanning said again: "Yes, you and Cuifen can earn one or two thousand a year now. If you save for three to five years, you may be able to buy a house. But have you ever thought about it? While you are working hard to save money, housing prices are also rising silently.”
"For example, we are interested in a house now, and it sells for 5,000 yuan. You agree that I will save enough for three years and come back to buy it. But after three years, you go to the landlord with 5,000 yuan. Sometimes, you will only face two situations. First, the house you are interested in was sold three years ago. Second, the price of the house has increased, and it is impossible to buy it for 5,000 yuan."
"This..." Dongzi looked at Xu Wanning, and then at Cuifen, who still had her back turned to him: "I have also considered this situation, but I just feel..."
"You just feel embarrassed to talk to me?"
Dongzi lowered his head and remained silent, acquiescing to Xu Wanning's guess.
Xu Wanning knew that Dongzi usually seemed carefree and didn't care about anything, but in fact, he had stronger self-esteem than anyone else.
In comparison, she prefers Cuifen's flexible character.
In the few years they have been together, Cuifen has never asked or borrowed anything. Even during the most difficult period, when she gave her rice and noodles, Cuifen would find a way to repay her with good things that she could get her hands on. So Xu Wanning knew that Cuifen was not a person who would take advantage of small things.
But at the same time, Cuifen also knew the importance of the house. Because she knew it, she put down her pride and borrowed money just to buy the house early.
Isn't this much better than Dongzi's straightforward and stubborn behavior of maintaining self-esteem?
Xu Wanning took out the account book and said to Dongzi and Cuifen: "I did a rough calculation. From the opening of the restaurant to now, more than three months later, excluding all costs, the net profit is about 6,000 yuan. "
The net profit of 6,000 yuan also excludes the more than 10,000 yuan she spent on buying a house and a restaurant.
If calculated, the profit would be 16,000 yuan.
This was an astronomical sum in the late 1970s.
After all, Xujia Puzi Restaurant's novel business philosophy, as well as its attitude of caring for customers and providing them with real benefits, have attracted a large number of loyal diners.
It can be said that Xujiapu Restaurant has never been without customers from morning to night.
During the hours from 11:30 to 1:30, and from 4:30 to 6:30 in the afternoon, there is an endless stream of customers, and a table will even be turned over several times.
If nothing else, such a good business will last for a long time.
"According to the agreement we signed before, we will give you two dividends before the end of the year, one share for Dongzi and one share for Cuifen. Each of you can receive a dividend of 5% of the restaurant's net profit. Together, the two of you will get a share of 100%." Ten out of ten.”
"There are still more than four months before the Chinese New Year. If the business of our restaurant continues to be so good, you can do the math in your mind. How much dividends can you get?"
Dongzi and Cuifen looked at each other silently, and they really calculated in their hearts.
If nothing else, the two of them could get at least a thousand yuan in dividends, right?
This is higher than the salary.
"So, according to this trend, within two years, you will be able to pay me back the money you paid for the house."
"Of course, if Dongzi still insists on his opinion and wants to save enough money to buy a house, I won't stop him. After all, this is your own decision. You two should discuss it and decide what to do?"
"Buy! Let's buy it now!" Dongzi rubbed his hands and asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law, if Cuifen and I like a slightly more expensive house, how much money can you lend us at most?"
"Let me think about it."
Xu Wanning calculated all the funds she had.
She still had about 20,000 yuan left in her original savings. Adding in the dividend of more than 20,000 yuan from Limin Food Factory and the 6,000 yuan in her account, she almost had nearly 50,000 yuan.
But she couldn't use all the money to buy a house, she had to leave at least 10,000 yuan for emergencies.
In addition, she plans to buy a house for each of Song Han and Jinchu. If you calculate it like this...
"I can lend it to you within 12,000 yuan."
"Twelve thousand!" Dongzi took a breath: "My original plan was that if my sister-in-law could lend me eight thousand yuan, I could buy the yard. Buy, buy, buy, sister-in-law, I'll wait for you. After we’re done, we’ll go buy a house!”
Cuifen couldn't help but look at Dongzi and asked, "Where did you see the yard? What kind of yard is worth eight thousand yuan? Why didn't you tell me before?"
Dongzi touched the tip of his nose and whispered: "Didn't I meet this by chance before? I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be tempted after seeing it, but I can't come up with so much money for a while."
"Now that you're optimistic about it, let's go buy it tomorrow."
"Sure!" Dongzi said with a smile: "There are several houses next to each other in that area, and they are all planned to be sold. Sister-in-law, you can call Lin Quan tomorrow and let's go look at the houses together."
"Okay, I'll talk to Lin Quan when I get back. Okay, I have to go out first. You two keep an eye on me. My family is here. Help me greet them."
