Nowadays, no one wanted the shop. So, it was rare to meet a big customer. No matter if it was real or fake, the director wanted to try it. If it was real, it would be a big achievement and the bonus at the end of the year would definitely be indispensable.
He went inside to make a call, but Ye Ning didn’t follow him and just wandered outside. Apart from the location, the layout inside was really ordinary. It was just a little newer, taller and bigger than the original department store. In Ye Ning’s opinion, it certainly didn’t count. But for the current people, this was definitely the most classy place in the county.
Once this place opened and businesses moved in, most people would definitely abandon the original department store and move here. Then the business would naturally be better. When the business was better, the rent would rise. Once the rent rose, the housing prices here would naturally follow suit.
After she finished walking around for a while, the director had already finished the phone call. Seeing that Ye Ning was still there, he breathed a small sigh of relief, “I just asked the leader for instructions. If you buy it sincerely, our leader said that we can give you a 10% discount on this. The price is really the lowest. None of the tickets sold before have such discounts.”
Ye Ning chuckled, “Since I plan to come over to buy, I must have inquired about it. The shop here is not easy to sell, so let’s not return it. It’s come and gone, so I’ll take a step back and give it a 20% discount. If it works, I’ll take four shops first.”
Seeing her serious look, the director frowned and said nothing.
“This price is 12% off? I really don’t have the right to make the decision. I’ll ask the leader for instructions.” The director went to call again. This time he came out not long after he went in, within two minutes. Seeing that Ye Ning was still outside, he felt relieved, he was afraid that Ye Ning would swindle him, “Our leader agreed.”
Ye Ning felt that people today still lacked sales skills. If it were replaced by a real estate company in the future, how could it be possible to get such a discount so easily? All she could say was that there were fewer routines now, and she liked it.
“Okay, the leader is happy, I can’t help but feel happy, I will book four shops now.” Ye Ning said with a smile.
Hearing this, the director suddenly beamed with joy, and then asked with some concern: “I see that you are not very old, do your parents agree?”
She shouldn’t steal the family’s money to buy it, otherwise her parents will come over to make trouble. While he would still have to be criticized.
“I have the final say in my family.” Seeing his expression, Ye Ning smiled and said, “Don’t worry, no one will come to settle the debt.” It wasn’t until he saw Ye Ning’s work permit that he felt comfortable letting her buy it.
One ticket cost 3,000 yuan, a 12% discount meant 2,640 yuan, and four shops came to 10,560 yuan. Ye Ning waited for a while and added the change. The total was 10,500 yuan. After signing the contract, Ye Ning paid the money and owned four shops.
“Do you have a phone number? The one in the work unit is fine, as long as I can contact you, so that you don’t miss the drawing time.” The director had not sold a shop for a long time, and today he sold four shops at once. He was in a good mood and explained more carefully.
Ye Ning left him her office phone number and told him not to talk about buying a shop, but to say that a relative was looking for her.
“I understand, don’t worry, I will never let it slip.” At this time, everyone paid attention to making money and spending money in silence. They were afraid that something would happen again one day. Then making money and spending money would become a crime. So, she bought a shop before telling anyone else.
Ye Ning nodded with satisfaction. When she went out, she saw a newly opened braised meat shop not far away. She went in and bought half of a braised duck. When she returned home, Ye Lan took the duck and glanced at Ye Ning from time to time.
“If you have anything to say, just say it.” Ye Ning felt uncomfortable looking at her.
“Sister, do you really plan to buy a shop?” Ye Lan thought of her expression last night, and it didn’t look like she was joking. But when she asked people about it today, they all said that the shop there wasn’t worth the price, and if she had the money, she might as well put it away to earn interest in the bank.
“I’ve already bought it.” Ye Ning picked up a piece of roast duck and stuffed it into Ye An’s mouth. She also took a piece and ate it, while saying: “I think that place is good and has room for appreciation, so I suggest you buy one too, less than 3,000 yuan, even if the monthly rent is 30 yuan, it is 360 yuan a year, isn’t it better than depositing it in the bank?”
Ye Lan couldn’t help but do some calculations in her heart, “It is indeed more than the interest, provided that it is more. It’s for rent. There are so many shops outside now, with everything to eat, drink and wear. Who would open a shop there? If we can’t rent it out by then, wouldn’t it be a big loss?”
“No, the mall is not private. It is a joint venture between the county and a company. Even if the company leaves it alone, the county will not leave the mall empty. It will become a landmark of our county in the future. There will definitely be many preferential policies. Remember, I will take you there. Did you say that when you went to the bus station?” Seeing Ye Lan nod, Ye Ning continued, “The business there will be more than that of the bus station. Do you still think you can’t rent it out?”
Ye Ning said so much. Ye Lan still felt that investing in buying a shop would result in a loss, and she couldn’t even break it off.
“Forget it, you are responsible for your own money.” Ye Ning stopped trying to persuade her.
After resting for two days, she finally regained her composure and her complexion became rosy. She finally didn’t look like she would fall down when the wind blew. When Director Yang saw her, she didn’t say much and asked Ye Ning to follow her down to the workshop.
At lunch, Wang Bin’s eyes lit up when he saw Ye Ning, “I heard from Director Yang that you were sick. Are you feeling better?”
“I’m okay, thanks to Director Yang for being so accommodating.” Ye Ning sincerely thanked Director Yang, whether it was bereavement leave last time or sick leave this time, the work that belonged to her was not backlogged, which meant that Director Yang had done all the work.
“My aunt is hard-spoken but soft-hearted.” The corners of Yang Wanqing’s mouth curled up slightly. She was very satisfied with Ye Ning’s words.
“Aunt?” Ye Ning had always known that Director Yang and Yang Wanqing were related, but did not ask for details, “Director Yang is your aunt?”
“You don’t know?” Yang Wanqing couldn’t help but glare at Ye Ning, “Director Yang is my relative. She is my father’s youngest sister.” Ye Ning nodded.
It really had nothing to do with her. She just needed to remember Director Yang’s affection. She would definitely return the favour if she had the opportunity in the future.
Seeing that Ye Ning did not continue to ask, Yang Wanqing glanced at her mouth, finished the food in her mouth, and couldn’t help but ask: “You took a week off last time, where did you go?”
“I had something to do at home.” Ye Ning didn’t think that Director Yang wouldn’t even tell her family, thinking like this, she felt warm in her heart, “I’ve finished eating. I’ll go back to work first.”
