If it were before, Su Changjiu and his wife would never have known that their little girl, Su Xiaotian, was the wealthiest in the Su family.
However, during this trip to the capital, they had gained a deeper understanding of the Su family.
The food processing plant belonged to Xiaotian.
Xiaotian also had shares in the breeding farm.
They heard that Xiaotian had opened a shop near the university.
It seemed she also had a factory somewhere else.
A child like this was definitely not short of money.
But even if Xiaotian wasn't short of money, it wasn't a reason for her to lend them money.
Especially to borrow money from a young girl.
"Xiaotian, even if you have money, it's not right. Your money is also earned through your hard work."
Su Xiaotian: "..."
Could she just say that it wasn't that hard?
"Uncle Changjiu, we are family now. Besides, lending you money isn't giving it away."
Su Changjiu's wife, Li Yuling, heard this and her eyes lit up.
They had discussed lending money to their daughter for her dowry.
Since it was all about lending money, what did it matter who they borrowed from?
Although Xiaotian was a young girl, when it came to making money, whoever earned it was capable.
She would talk to her husband later and include interest when they repaid Xiaotian!
Su Changjiu's wife's mind raced as she made up her mind.
"Alright, Xiaotian, Aunt thanks you," Su Changjiu's wife said with a smile, agreeing directly.
Now, even if Su Changjiu wanted to object, it was too late. He could only swallow the words he hadn't yet spoken.
Forget it, listen to the old woman!
He was the village head, seemingly respected in the village, but in reality, it didn't mean much.
Over the years, his wife had followed him, not enjoying any comforts, and had suffered a lot.
Moreover, with his two daughters-in-law causing trouble every day, life was difficult.
Staying in the capital might allow them to live comfortably for a few years.
Didn't Tan Zishi and his wife look much younger after moving to the capital and getting rid of those parasitic Tan family descendants?
Seeing that Su Changjiu no longer objected, Su Xiaotian also smiled.
The matter was settled.
Just as the factory affairs were finished, Su Xiaotian had a few days of free time, so she accompanied Li Yuling to look for suitable shop spaces near the university campus.
There were many shops near the university. In the past two years, the economy had been good, and many people opened their own shops.
Many people had seen the potential of shops near universities, and anyone who had someone in the family who could open a shop was unwilling to rent it out.
Opening a shop and buying something would bring in more than the rent, wouldn't it?
After searching for two consecutive days, they couldn't find the shop they wanted.
Not to mention Su Xiaotian, even Li Yuling was a bit dejected.
It seemed she had thought too simply.
"Xiaotian, why don't we consider changing to another location?"
She had been thinking about this for the past two days. Actually, opening a restaurant in places like train stations could also be profitable.
Although it was good near the university, what was the point if there were no suitable shops?
"Let's look for two more days and expand the search area," Su Xiaotian said.
There were several universities nearby. If they couldn't find a suitable shop around Beijing University, it didn't mean there weren't any near other universities.
Li Yuling knew Su Xiaotian's ability to make money and was quite convinced by her, so she agreed.
Another two days passed. The two of them worked from dawn till dusk every day, their soles almost developing blisters.
Fortunately, these two days were not wasted. They actually found a shop.
However, this shop was a bit too large, nearly two hundred square meters.
Shops near universities were generally less than forty square meters, with twenty to thirty square meters being the most common.
Su Xiaotian's initial intention was to find a small shop of about thirty square meters.
The larger the space, the more expensive the rent.
For a small business, there was no need for grandiosity.
But the location of this shop was indeed excellent. It was at the intersection of two universities, a crossroad, with a large flow of people passing by every day.
Previously, it was a clothing store.
A shop like this would be very good for a clothing store in about ten years.
But at this time, many university students were willing to walk a little further to buy these things at the market.
They believed there were more choices and the prices were cheaper.
Therefore, this clothing store struggled for a year and ended with the owner losing money near the end of the last semester.
The reason this shop had not been rented out yet was also because of its large size.
The owner might still be thinking of making a comeback and disagreed with dividing it in the middle.
He also said it would ruin the shop's feng shui.
Regarding this issue, Su Xiaotian felt it was simply nonsense.
Was feng shui really that important?
If feng shui could determine everything, wouldn't it be enough to just occupy a good feng shui spot and eat without working?
Besides, wasn't it also unsuccessful without dividing it in the middle before?
However, these words couldn't be said now.
"Sister-in-law, such a large shop, it might not be suitable for opening a restaurant."
It had to be said that the shop owner was indeed an honest person. After knowing that Su Xiaotian and the others planned to open a restaurant, he earnestly advised them a few times.
Su Xiaotian, however, felt that this place was very good. A larger space meant a larger operating model.
Although this nearly two-hundred-square-meter shop cost four hundred yuan in rent per month, if it really took off, earning this money wouldn't be difficult.
However, the monthly rent of four hundred yuan scared Li Yuling.
"Xiaotian, the rent for this shop is so high, I'm afraid I won't even be able to earn enough to cover the rent," Su Changjiu's wife said worriedly.
Su Xiaotian, however, already had a plan.
Over a hundred square meters, opening a malatang shop was indeed a bit too large.
The rent was also genuinely expensive, but there was a way to solve it.
"Boss, thank you for your reminder. I still think your shop has good feng shui. If people buy food here, it might really make money."
Su Xiaotian's words were so sincere.
So sincere that the shop owner felt, perhaps because he hadn't made money before, was it really because he chose the wrong business?
"Little girl, I've reminded you. If you lose money later, you can't blame me!"
Although he was following the elders, he felt that the young girl seemed to be in charge of these two people.
To avoid people saying he had cheated a child later, the shop owner still said some things upfront.
Su Xiaotian waved her hand, and they signed the lease agreement.
To avoid trouble, Su Xiaotian discussed with the shop owner to lease it for ten years at once, with rent increasing annually according to market prices.
However, the shop owner disagreed, and in the end, they reached an agreement to lease it for five years.
The shop owner actually wanted a shorter lease period, but Su Xiaotian disagreed, reasoning that with renovations and such, a shorter lease would not be cost-effective. Sudang Novel Network
They also signed a supplementary agreement: if the shop owner did not operate it himself after five years and wanted to continue renting it out, Su Xiaotian would have priority.
The agreement was signed by Su Xiaotian and the shop owner. The reason Su Xiaotian signed it was also considered.
Su Xiaotian was worried that the monthly rent of four hundred yuan and the subsequent renovation costs would scare Li Yuling, causing her to lose sleep and appetite.
