After Guo Lan made up her mind, she called Li Jun of the Shazhou Political and Legal Affairs Committee and said, "Li Jun, I am Guo Lan. I remember you are very familiar with the people from CCB. Can you get the mortgage payment?"
“What do you do with a loan?”
"I'm short of money now. My mother has uremia and needs a kidney transplant. I want to take her to Shanghai for surgery."
Li Jun was shocked and said, "Kidney transplant surgery is very expensive, and the kidney source is difficult to find."
"The treatment costs are available at present, but I don't know how much more it will cost in the future. I want to do some business, so I have to get a loan."
Li Jun was angry at this time and said angrily: "Guo Lan, what is our relationship? You have been helping me and caring for me for so many years. Why did you call me now when something big happened in your family?" She said angrily: "I still have tens of thousands in my hand, do you want it?"
Guo Lan tasted the warmth and warmth of human feelings at her mother's house. When she heard Li Jun, she was very moved and said, "I know you sold a new house in Shazhou. A few days ago, you were still calling you poor on the phone. Why did I speak to you? It's just that my mother needs a lot of money, so she is in a hurry to open a store."
Li Jun knew Guo Lan's sloppy and unrestrained temperament best. He heard that she wanted to open a store to do business. If she had glasses, she would at least break many of them, and said, "You really want to do business? Have you thought about it, and with your personality, it is not very suitable for business."
Guo Lan was helpless and said, "What's the solution? My mother is old and I have to support this family. It's impossible for my mother to suffer because she has no money."
Li Jun thought for a while and said, "It's easy to say about the loan. I have a good friend who works in the bank and you have real estate. It should be a big problem. It's just that the mortgage is paid according to the proportion of the house payment, according to the market price in Shazhou. It's not much. I still have some money in my hand, and if I need it, I still have 70,000 or 80,000."
Guo Lan did not call Li Jun to borrow money, the main reason was that Li Juncai bought a house and always called poor on the phone. Today, when he heard that Li Jun took the initiative to borrow money, he felt a little moved.
She lives in the ivory tower, harmless and sincere, so her roommate Zhang Yongli and friend Li Jun are both active in finding ways to come up with ideas, and it also means repaying the favor here.
There is a reflex principle in interpersonal relationships, that is, what attitude you treat others and what attitude they will treat you.
Some people go in and out of the way, and they will be careful of others and always be calculating them. Such people will find it difficult to gain advantage.
The opposite of this kind of person is the so-called honest people. The blood and tears experience summarized by the people is called "Honest people will not suffer losses", and it is also related to the principle of reflection.
After basically implementing the loan, Guo Lan felt a little confident. She came to her mother's room and asked while her aunt was out, "Mom, you are going to stay here for a few days."
Mrs. Guo thought Guo Lan wanted to leave early. She said, "The things have been done almost, and I don't want to live for a long time either.
"Mom, if you don't want to live in Longtang County, then we will stay in Lingxi for a few days. I still have some things to do in Lingxi."
Mrs. Guo immediately said: "You have to stay in a hotel when you go to Lingxi. Instead of staying in a hotel, it is better to stay at your aunt for two more days. You go and do the business. After you finish the business, you can call me again."
Guo Lan had a small knot in her hometown because of borrowing money and was unwilling to live for a long time. She originally wanted to take her mother back to Lingxi and live in that small house. But then she thought, since she wanted to do things, she would show a real attitude and let her mother stay at her aunt's house for two days so that she could do things with her own heart.
After leaving his mother at his aunt's house in Longtang County, Guo Lan came to Lingxi alone.
Guo Lan’s biggest idea now is to make money quickly. Zhang Yongli is very successful in making foreign trade clothing, with ready-made channels and sales models. She thought for a while and decided to do this first.
The first requirement for opening a foreign trade store is to have a storefront. According to Zhang Yongli's suggestion, this storefront should not be too remote, but should be in a place with a large flow of people. After the storefront is selected, since the managers are in Shanghai, because foreign trade clothing is relatively cheap, they can be sold slightly lower than the market price and then a unified price is not bargaining.
Guo Lan went from Longtang County to Lingxi from the bus. Along the way, she had no music in her mind and was thinking about what sales model to use for sales. When she had not done business, she often saw stores for renting or transferring them when she had time. She felt that it was not difficult to find a storefront, but when she really wanted to do business, she realized that finding a suitable storefront was not an easy thing.
She kept walking along the bustling streets in the west of the Ridge, checking one by one for any vacant facades. As a result, either the facade was too big or the facade was too small. There was a suitable facade. The owner of the facade asked for a transfer fee of 100,000 yuan, which did not include the facade rent, which scared her.
When Mars falls on the instep, everyone will feel pain.
Guo Lan used to have no desires and had been living in the ivory tower, and she did not feel the complexity of reality. At this time, she was about to ask for more from the society, and the society showed a disgusting face.
I found a small restaurant for lunch and continued to wander the streets in Lingxi, finding nothing.
The next day, Guo Lan walked all the way to the vicinity of Lingxi University. The former Lingxi University was located in the suburbs of the city, but now this area has become a continuous university town, Lingxi Academy of Fine Arts, and Lingxi Institute of Technology have all moved here one after another.
And next to Lingxi University is the newly built Financial Street.
After walking around for a while, she saw an empty store for rent. The store is pretty good in terms of terrain and size. She stood on the street and looked at the traffic, which was suitable for opening a sales store for foreign trade clothing.
He called the shop owner according to the phone number on the poster and said, "Will this store be rented out?"
A voice with a heavy nasal sound came: "Of course I have to rent my storefront, otherwise I will eat*, and you want to rent my storefront?"
Guo Lan didn't expect this man to be so vulgar. She resisted her disgust and boredom and said, "How can you rent a house?"
The shoddy nasal voice said: "The price is open in Lingxi, with a monthly rent of 8,000 yuan. I pay once every six months. The first time I have to pay a deposit. I don't shout high anymore. No one wants it if I shout high. If I shout low, I will suffer a loss."
Guo Lan looked at the old ground inside through the fence and said, "This is a newly developed area and it is not very popular. Can the rent be lower?"
The man was very arrogant and said, "I won't bargain. If you want to come here, I'll come over. If you think the price is high, forget it."
Guo Lan thought to herself, "There are people doing business like this." She looked around and felt that the place was really good, and thought to herself, "Find a better place. Even if you spend a little more money, you should recycle it faster." She said, "Of course I want to rent it, otherwise I won't call."
"My location is very good. If you think it's worth it, I'll come here."
"I'm here at the storefront, you've been here for a long time."
When the man heard that the other party was so cheerful, he secretly regretted that his offer was low, but he couldn't regret it after he had already said it, so he was thinking about how to raise the price more. He took the bus to the storefront. Seeing that the other party was a gentle girl, not like a businessman, he felt that her business was not long. He wanted to knock on more money. He said to him: "I have posted this number for a long time, and it has been no longer the same market now. With the bathroom, it is 12,000 yuan a month."
Although Guo Lan had never done business, she knew that the other party was raising prices randomly and said, "Boss, there is a bathroom there to calculate the money separately."
The man was tidying his short hair and holding a briefcase. He felt a bit like a social person. He looked up and down at Guo Lan, drooling inwardly, and thought to himself: "This girl is so tender. If she can sleep for a while, not to mention eight thousand, four thousand can."
Men have to fantasize themselves, and even if they fantasize themselves, business in reality is the most important thing.
When he opened the door, the nasal voice man introduced the decoration inside and outside to Guo Lan: "These decorations are very high-end. I spent a lot of money at that time. You can bring them over and you don't need to install them anymore, and you can open a store." He patted his chest and said, "Look at your sister, you are also a honest person, I will quote you a real price. 11,000 yuan a month, I will rent it to you."
Originally, he said eight thousand, but in a blink of an eye, it increased by two thousand. Guo Lan felt a little unhappy, but he felt that the environment was really good, so he asked the boss: "Boss, can you give in more?"
The nasal man said in a muffled voice: "What I said is real price, so it must be missing."
Guo Lan asked again: "How much do you have to pay for the first time? Can you pay for it every month?"
The nasal voice man was a little impatient: "I did it according to the rules, and I paid it for half a year. If you want it, just give it a good word. Don't let me close the door, I still have to play cards."
"Boss, I want to go home to discuss and contact you in the afternoon. Is it okay?" Although she was in business for the first time and had no experience in how to rent a storefront, she had been a leading cadre for many years and was still very good at observing her expressions and expressions, so she wanted to ease it.
Seeing that Guo Lan did not agree immediately, the man deliberately pretended to be unhappy and pulled the door loudly, saying, "You can reply in the afternoon. I will wait until three o'clock. If you don't think about it, I will rent it to someone else."
After saying that, he closed the door and left on his motorcycle.
Guo Lan used to work in the organization department and was respected wherever she went. At this time, the scholar met a soldier. When facing such a rough man, he could not speak reasonably. All his elegance was like playing the piano against a cow.
She continued to circle the street and looked at several storefronts, but none of them were as ideal as the storefront. She originally wanted to call the man immediately, but she felt that it was too anxious to call now. After waiting for more than an hour, she called the man: "Boss, can the price be reduced? I asked the storefront nearby, you are the highest."
The nasal voice man was playing cards, and while playing cards, he said, "Looking at you, I will reduce it by 5,000. Nine,500. I can't reduce it anymore. Just this price, whether you rent it or not."
Guo Lan wanted to open the store early, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then we will sign the contract at 3 pm."
After the man hung up the phone, he said to his card friend in a lustful way: "The person who rented the storefront just now was a beauty. Damn, if I were to be a mistress for me, I would only charge 4,000 yuan for rent."
At this time, another woman called and the woman said, "How much does this storefront cost?"
The nasal man said, "Ten thousand."
The woman said, "That location is worth 10,000 yuan, you can make a fool of yourself. I want to rent it for a long time."
The nasal man saw that Guo Lan did not look like she was doing business, and probably her business would not grow, so he had the idea of hitting a stick in his mind. But some people rented a long time, and this was different again. His attitude suddenly improved and he smiled and said, "Long-term rental, how many years do you want to rent it?"
The woman said: "At least ten years, the longer the better."
The nasal man was immediately happy and said, "Sister, I'll wait for you at the storefront and have a detailed discussion."
The woman said, "I have something to do now. At three o'clock in the afternoon, I will come to the storefront to see it."
The woman is Zeng Xiangang's wife Song Zhicheng. Their building materials store is open very well in Lingxi, and its business is large, and there are branches in each district. However, the area of Lingxi University is still blank. She drove around and happened to be interested in this store.
At this time, Song Zhicheng was rich and generous. She cared about the geographical location of the store and did not pay too much attention to the price.
