"The family suddenly fell ill and needed a lot of money. I really can't afford to renew this shop. I'm really sorry." Elder sister Yang stood at the door and apologized, "I know it's against the rules to stop renting in advance. It's embarrassing for you. I don't want to stop the shop if I can... "

"It's OK, it's OK." Lin's father and mother waved their hands and understood, "there's no way for people to get sick suddenly. We don't want to. You can rest assured, elder sister Yang, that we will take care of the rent refund. As long as you are ready, we can do it at any time. "

"Ah, ah! Thank you, sister Lin! " Elder sister Yang repeatedly appreciated, "I'm really sorry for giving you such trouble!"

Elder sister Yang seems to be really in a hurry. She only pays attention to her eyes and doesn't notice the existence of Lin Lan at all. Until she finishes talking with her father and mother, she turns to the left and walks quickly to the direction of the stairs. She doesn't see a big living person standing on the right.

But Lin Lan did not mind, her attention also focused on the things they just talked about: "Mom and Dad, does elder sister Yang want to refund the rent in advance?"

Lin's father and mother naturally found that their daughter was there long ago. Hearing Lin Lan's question, Lin Youyu didn't even think about it and said directly, "yes, her husband's physical examination found out uremia two months ago, and the treatment cost is 100000 yuan a year. After thinking about it, sister Yang stopped working as a clothing store and took the rent to take care of her husband in the hospital."

"In fact, the lease will expire in one year. Your father and I thought about it and agreed as a good thing." Wang Xiuzhi also sighed when she talked about it. She looked back and glared at Lin Youyu, "don't let me go to the hospital to serve you before you get old, old man, you should pay attention to your diet."

"How can that be?" Lin's father was a little aggrieved. "I seldom go out to a restaurant to drink with others. I eat at home. How can I get the chance of getting this rich disease?"

"You don't think the food I bought is good enough?" The harsh words implied by her husband made Wang Xiuzhi refuse to listen to her, "which meal in the family sent you meat to eat, there are all your favorite dishes on the table every once in a while, do you still want to eat in the restaurant? Do you think your stomach can be used to go to restaurants? "

At the end of the day, Lin's mother slapped Lin's father on his beer belly.

In this regard, Lin Lan nodded and agreed: "Dad, I think mom is right. In the future, you'd better eat less meat. The stomach is a little big." Then she also poked her father's stomach, "Wow, the meat is still hard, Dad, you really need to consider more vegetarianism."

Father Lin This little cotton padded jacket is leaking.

When she returned home and talked about the lease of the first floor shop, Wang Xiuzhi also thought of another thing.

"When it comes to sister Yang's early rent withdrawal at the end of this month, I remember that Xiao Zhang, who runs a milk tea shop next door, will have her lease expired in a while?"

"Yes, that's right." When it comes to money and rent calculation, father Lin is far more sensitive to figures than his wife. "It will be due in the middle of next month, and there are about 30 days left. In another week at most, it's time to talk about whether to renew the rent."

"I don't think so." Wang Xiuzhi shook her head. "Xiaozhang's milk tea shop usually has a normal business. It's good to earn back the rent this year, not to mention the money for decoration and machinery and equipment in the beginning."

The cost of opening a milk tea shop is not too high, but it's not very low. It's within the affordability line of young people who want to start a business with ordinary capital. But because of this, most of them end up at a loss. After years of renting out shops, Wang Xiuzhi has learned a lot about them. At least she can figure out whether one shop can make money.

Parents sitting there talking about the shop rent, no one noticed Lin Lan who was bowing his head and sucking the cat.

Elder sister Yang is a pleasant person. After settling the rent refund with the landlord, the clothing store downstairs started to put up banners in a few days and used a small loudspeaker to shout in a circle -

[good news! hot wire! Because the rent is due, we have a big price cut! All clothes are 50% off sale! You can get a 30% discount if you buy more than two pieces! Buy more and give more, good quality and low price! Quality assurance, no deception! 】

if we just talk about the clearance sale, there may not be many people coming.

However, if we add the sentence that all rents are sold when they are due, the credibility will increase a lot in an instant. After a while, the girls, aunts and even grandmothers who are attracted by the sales promotion will go into the shop and start to pick and choose.

"By the time of the last seven days, it is estimated that the rest of the tail goods will be cleared at a discount."

Standing downstairs not far from looking at the clothing store's last prosperous scene, Lin Lan whispered to Lin Youyu.

"Otherwise, it's rotten in the hand. If you sell it cheaply, you can recover some of the original." Lin Youyu also whispered back, "let's go, let's go to find Xiao Zhang."

Xiao Zhang's milk tea shop is next to the clothing store. It's said to be a milk tea shop. In fact, it also sells baked cakes and hot dog intestines. There are also Mini tables and chairs for guests to eat and drink. Unfortunately, there are no guests in it. The bustle of the clothing store sets off the coldness of the milk tea shop.

The shopkeeper Xiao Zhang listened to the news next door. Although he knew elder sister Yang would quit after finishing this month, he would move away soon later than others, but his situation was totally different from that of the other party.As Mrs. Lin expected, the milk tea shop would be closed as soon as the lease term was over, but the follow-up work was much more troublesome than the clothing shop.

When elder sister Yang moves away, the most important thing is that the clothes hangers and the rest of the goods are packed in the pickup truck, and then they are finished. He is different. Not to mention the ingredients with a shelf life in the store, they are the refrigerator, water purifier, ice maker, ice cream machine, fructose machine, tea extractor, snack equipment, oven Wait, a bunch of big and small things cost him nearly 20000 yuan.

This entrepreneurial trip has made Xiao Zhang give up the milk tea industry completely, so these devices have become the most troublesome chicken ribs. It's a pity to give up the tasteless food.

"Good afternoon, Xiao Zhang." The voice of the landlord's uncle at the door of the shop made the distressed little Zhang recover.

"Lin, uncle Lin, you are here, and Lin Lan is also here. Please sit down!" See the landlord with his daughter appear together, Xiao Zhang suddenly aware of what will happen behind, quickly open mouth to welcome people.

Lin Lan went into the shop with her father and scanned the environment slightly. She had drunk the milk tea in this milk tea shop. It should be said that most of the young people in the small building have tried the milk tea here. The overall evaluation is only two words: average.

It's not hard to drink, and it's not easy to drink. It's the kind of standard that you can forget when you drink. The environment and sanitation in the shop are not bad. So now that the milk tea shops are all over the city, the business of Xiaozhang's shop is also average or even dismal.

"Not busy, not busy." To stop Xiao Zhang from pouring tea and taking cake for them, Lin Youyu said directly, "why do I come this time, Xiao Zhang, you must know. Our lease will expire in another month. I want to ask Xiao Zhang, "do you plan to renew it?"

As soon as I heard that, Xiao Zhang's face showed a wry smile and told the truth directly: "Uncle Lin, you can see how the business of my shop is. If I continue to rent it, I will lose more and more. I won't continue to rent the shop until next month."

Both sides have long expected the result, it seems that there is no room to say a few more words, Lin Youyu nodded: "that's it, there is still one month left, or you can learn from sister Yang next door, engage in preferential activities, clear the inventory."

"Well, that's what I thought." Xiao Zhang nodded with a wry smile, "these days, I'm also considering whether I want to get a discount poster to post on the outside."

"Brother Zhang, I venture to ask." Lin Lan, who didn't make a sound, pointed to the water bar and the machine in the shop and said, "since you don't plan to continue to open the shop, what are you going to do with these things?"

"What else can I do? I'm not going to be a milk tea shop any more. I can only pull these things back and sell them on the Internet." Xiao Zhang shook his head and sighed.

Machinery and equipment, once used, will immediately become cheap. The same is true for the whole set of water bar equipment. At the beginning, all kinds of equipment were bought back, but now it has been used for nearly a year. Although it is still very short according to the service life, when it is used, it is all depreciation goods.

It is said that many of the equipment in milk tea shops do not recommend buying second-hand ones. He has to have a fracture with these things. He does not know what price he can sell at last and when he can sell them all

"Brother Zhang, after you close the store, will these things be sold for 4000 yuan in packages?"

Ah?

The two men in the shop were all stunned. Compared with father Lin's surprise, Xiao Zhang's reaction was much faster.

"What do you want, Lin Lan? But four thousand It's too little. " It's a quarter less than the original price.

"Ah, well, I just wanted to have a drink of milk tea at home on a whim." Lin Lan a listen to immediately flinch, embarrassed way, "can't even."

Xiao Zhang suddenly had a little regret, but he didn't open his mouth. Father Lin, who finally came back to himself, already glared at his daughter with disapproval: "what do you want that for? How many times a year can you drink milk tea? It's just that you're hot in those three minutes. You can play for two more days and throw dust at home. Don't waste money

Lin Lan didn't know if this sentence had awakened him. Anyway, Xiao Zhang was immediately convinced: "no, uncle Lin, these things are very good brands with good quality. It cost me nearly 20000 yuan! Lin Lan can make not only milk tea, but also ice cream, sand ice, small cakes, small bread, waffles and cookies. It's much cleaner to make them at home than outside. It's definitely a good deal to buy them! "

Lin Lan seems to have been fooled, but his father is not fooled. He is here to talk about the lease, not to bring his daughter to help him solve the problem of ending the mess. He always shakes his head and waves his hand: "no, no! I don't need this at home! "

While talking, she was going to run out of the store with her daughter.

"Lin Lan, Lin Lan, don't go!" Seeing that the opportunity was fleeting, Xiao Zhang gave up the landlord decisively and called out to Lin Lan, "if you buy these, I'll teach you how to make milk tea and cakes and biscuits in the remaining month."

Then father Lin could not move his daughter's step forward. He was surprised, but he was still late. Later, his silly daughter agreed: "deal!"

Once young people become willful, it is always difficult for them to turn back when they are older, just like now.Seeing her daughter draw up a written contract with Xiao Zhang in duplicate, Lin Youyu is angry and helpless.

Forget it, money is not a big money, four thousand dollars as a daughter to buy a happy, anyway, also made her own savings.

Even if you give yourself such an explanation, the elder is still unhappy.

"Dad, don't be angry. I have a plan." Seeing his father's long face, Lin Lan knew what he was thinking. He put his arm around him and shook it coquettishly. "I have something to discuss with you and mom."

So a few minutes later, a man and a woman screamed at the store.

"What? Do you want a shop to open your own shop? "

"Not a shop." Lin Lan looked at her parents and held out two fingers. "If I want two, I'll merge the clothing store and milk tea shop, and then open a cat tea house."

Wang Xiuzhi and Lin Yuyu were stunned at the same time. They did not expect that their daughter, who had been working all the time, had the idea of starting a business.

"This, this..." Wang Xiuzhi didn't know how to open her mouth for a moment. She didn't have any opinions about her daughter's use of her own shop. She just instinctively worried, "but Lan Lan, have you never opened a shop? Now we have to open up the two rooms at the same time. Is it too big a step? "

Lin Youyu, also with this idea, suddenly and unexpectedly looked at his wife: "mother LAN, I thought you would oppose it immediately."

"What am I against?" Wang Xiuzhi rolled her eyes at her husband. "She's the only girl in the family, and she can't bear to have two shops? I'm not afraid that she will lose money! "

"Mom and Dad, I know what you're worried about." Lin Lan went up to the back of the two men and beat his parents' back politely. He was very flattering. "But after staying at home for such a long time, I've figured it out. I also want to try to start a business and be a boss. Just because there are such convenient conditions at home, you don't need to pay high rent cost like other people, so let me have a try? "

The six shops on the first floor, two together, is equivalent to the area of a suite on the upper floor, which can make the teahouse open and not cramped. She bought the equipment in the milk tea shop for 4000 yuan before, and learned those skills by the way. In order to build a foundation for the tea house in the future, it's not more cost-effective.

Listening to her daughter's plan, Wang Xiuzhi was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Lan Lan, what cat teahouse do you want to open, actually for the cats at home?" The daughter knew that she was a little disgusted with more and more cats at home, but she didn't attack because of her mother-in-law's face, so she thought of this method.

"Well, there's a reason for that." Lin Lan did not deny, "but the most important thing is that I want to find something for myself. Mom and Dad, as you can see, my recent cat is very popular. Maybe I will pick it up later. It's definitely not a problem to keep them all the time. It's better to make use of the kittens. I'll open a shop to sell them to attract customers and make money together. In this way, mom, you won't be unhappy, will you? "

There is a big difference between simply keeping a large number of cats for nothing and constantly wasting money, and using cats to open a shop to attract customers. At least Wang Xiuzhi's opposition is gone.

"But, Lan Lan..." Lin Youyu thought of another thing. His father had already involuntarily told his daughter, "what kind of cat tea shop do you open? I've heard about it. Those shops with good business keep expensive pet cats, but our family are all native cats except for a blue treasure. Is it not attractive? And they all add up to eight, which is not enough, right? "

Do you think you have to go to the pet store to buy some valuable cats to be your appearance? Then the cost is very high.

"It's OK, Dad. I've thought about that for a long time." Seeing that sister Yang said she would return the rent a week ago, Lin Lan was thinking about the plan of cat tea house. "I know where to find a valuable pet cat, and I don't have to spend money."

When she spoke, a group of stray cats headed by the cat boss appeared in her mind.

The recovery of sapphire inspired Lin Lan a lot. Now there are a lot of valuable pet cats abandoned by their owners and living in the street. Relying on the cat boss's broad cat relationship, she wants to find a suitable kitten to fill her back palace Bah, her teahouse is still very easy.
