Because we had some wine with Hu Zi, we didn't rush to see the store. Instead, we went to furniture city to buy a bed. The new bed let Hu Zi sleep. I also slept on my old bed. I'm used to it. It's still comfortable to sleep on the old bed.
When we came back in the afternoon, we both added up all the money we had and got the exact amount.
At the same time, I solemnly talked to Hu Zi about the distribution of profits. As the saying goes, brothers know how to settle accounts. Sometimes it's better to clarify some things. Even if Hu Zi and I don't care about these things, it's better to clarify them.
According to what I said, if the hotel loses money, it won't be said. If it is profitable, then the distribution will be based on the proportion of the money we invested. Hu Zi and I will be one to five. If I earn six yuan, I will get one yuan. Hu Zi gets five yuan.
Hu Zi smiled bitterly, "Xing Yun, how long have we known each other?"
This is really not calculated in detail. It has been many, many years. After thinking about it, I can't help but feel that time has passed so quickly. I smiled and said, "Ten years, in a few years, it will be almost twenty years."
Twenty years, how many twenty years can there be in life!
Hu Zi and I were silent for a moment. Thinking back on this long time, we had known each other since elementary school. Although the two of us were quite surprised, they had come so many years. Such a long friendship was really like a bottle of wine that had been sealed for so many years.
Hu Zi lay down on the sofa, then looked at me and said, "Xing Yun, we've known each other for so long. Don't say anything fake. Why is it so detailed? What else do you have to pay me back? I told you to split the money in half!"
Hu Zi's words touched my heart, but I shook my head. Hu Zi was too much at stake.
Hu Zi, however, was not happy. He straightened his back and stared at him, "Yes, we have more money than you, but what's the difference? We won't be earning tens of millions by then. Our goal will be millions and tens of millions, okay? We won't have any money left in our hands by then."
I don't know if Hu Zi said that to make me listen to him, or if he really has such big ambitions.
I had something else to say, so Hu Zi interrupted me and said, "All right, don't say it. It's fifty-five. If you want to agree, you can agree. If you don't agree, you can pull it down. Let's not work together."
I felt a surge of warmth in my heart. I really didn't expect Hu Zi to do this. What I was thinking was that we were divided according to the proportion of investment. It was fair. Hu Zi didn't take advantage of me at all. Many partners didn't do this. But seeing Hu Zi's tough attitude, I couldn't say anything.
But then I realized that what Hu Zi said made sense. By the time we really made a lot of money, today's money was really nothing. So I nodded and agreed with Hu Zi.
At the same time, I also believe in my heart that I want to make a friend of Hu Zi for the rest of my life!
Then the two of us began to calculate everything, including the rent of the storefront, the decoration of the storefront, the advertisement, the hotel utensils, the recruitment and so on. We discussed all kinds of questions enthusiastically.
Hu Zi started smoking in front of me again.
In the past, Hu Zi didn't smoke. During the day when I was cleaning the room, I found a lot of cigarette butts. These days when I was not around, Hu Zi smoked them. I knew that Hu Zi was upset, but I still advised him, "Hu Zi, before you get addicted to smoking, quit smoking. Don't smoke."
Hu Zi did not put out his cigarette. He took a puff and said wearily, "I don't want to quit. Just smoke."
"Why are you doing this?" I sighed. I haven't smoked for so many years, so stop smoking.
Hu Zi smiled bitterly, but didn't intend to listen to my opinion. He had been smoking for a few days, and now his smoking posture was still rusty. In the smoke, Hu Zi closed his eyes slightly and said after a long time, "Xing Yun, do you still believe in love?"
I understand why Hu Zi asked.
Li Xiaowei had hurt him so deeply that it would not be easy for anyone to betray him after so many years of hard work!
Hu Zi asked. I think maybe he had a deep fear or disgust for love.
I honestly said, "Believe it."
Although I don't know how my story with Ding Ge ends, and although I have frozen my heart deeply, I do believe in love, even if I don't think it will ever happen to me again, I do.
"Hu Zi." I said to him, "Li Xiaowei is in the past. You burned all the photos too. Let her go. Don't worry, I, Meng Xingyun, promise you that one day you will find a better love."
Hu Zi just took a deep breath and didn't say anything.
This kind of thing can't be solved in a few words, it can only depend on time. So let's take advantage of the initial stage of our career to make Hu Zi forget the pain in his heart.
The next day, Hu Zi and I went out to find the right store.
Hu Zi's car hadn't been sold yet, so we drove off in his car.
The car had only been bought for a few months and was exactly like a new car. It would be a pity if it was sold. But I didn't persuade Hu Zi. If he really wanted to sell me, I could only support him.
Speaking of which, Hu Zi and Li Xiaowei had their first argument about buying a car, but Li Xiaowei's vanity had been exposed since then.
However, Hu Zi's forbearance in exchange for a betrayal.
It was ridiculous to say that Hu Zi bought the car for Li Xiaowei, but Li Xiaowei got along with the rich kids when he was learning the car, so Hu Zi couldn't handle the car too much.
Hu Zi didn't drive. I was driving. I couldn't help but ask, "Hu Zi, are you still going to sell this car?"
Hu Zi quickly replied, "No more."
I was a little surprised. I didn't know what Hu Zi was thinking, but he changed his mind so quickly.
Hu Zi said, "Since Li Xiaowei said so, then this car will be mine. At that time, the down payment for the car was made by both of us. I will give her the money that she paid."
I nodded. Hu Zi was a good idea. He gave Li Xiaowei's money back to her so that they didn't owe each other and the car became Hu Zi's.
"Okay, not for sale. How much did you lose by selling it?"
Hu Zi said faintly, "Yes. Besides, we still have a lot of time to use the car these days. We can't leave the car."
Hu Zi was right. There must be all kinds of running these days. It's really much easier to have a car.
Driving Hu Zi's car, I couldn't help but think, when can I have my own car?
For the next day, we were all running back and forth. It was indescribably tiring. And the key is not fatigue, but it is difficult to find a particularly suitable store.
Of course, there are some that are especially suitable, but the rent is too expensive, and they are all tough to pay first for a year, and some are at least half a year, but the expensive rent let me and Hu Zi's initial funds go nearly half, it is too scary.
The other is not the place is remote, or the size of the house is not suitable, in short, all kinds of unsuitable, a day running down, the heart is really uncomfortable.
But I also know that the initial difficulties are tens of millions, and this is only the first difficulty.
Hu Zi and I could only run one after another patiently, recording some similar appearances, going back to discuss them, and then choose one of them. That was the only way. Nothing could be perfect. Having a good facade, it would be useless if we didn't manage it.
We only did one thing in a day. Lunch was just a casual meal outside. We knew Pucheng very well, so the value of the store was somewhat reasonable. It was impossible to be slaughtered. This should be the only good news.
Running around like that.
Either choose a more prosperous location for a person, the rent is relatively high, or choose a relatively small location, relatively large area.
Neither Hu Zi nor I dared to jump to conclusions. There were some contradictions in our hearts.
After we got back, Hu Zi and I had a long discussion. Some of the rent was too high, some were totally unsuitable, and then we had to choose from the rest of the stores.
It was just the facade that made Hu Zi and I a little tired.
The two of them sat in the living room and stayed up until midnight. In the end, they could only go out tomorrow to see if they could find a better storefront. If they couldn't find it, they could only pull out a general from a short man.
The two of them went to their rooms to sleep, and the next day they embarked on a search for shops again.
We had to lower our prices and haggle with people in all kinds of ways. Our mouths were almost worn out. Some of the loosening could be reduced, or a few months less. This was extremely exciting for Hu Zi and me. A small victory made us overjoyed.
Of course, most of them were not able to get along with each other. The rent was extremely high. In short, there was an attitude of not being able to afford it.
Our hearts are cold...
Also looked at some of the transfer shops, basically not suitable.
We made countless rounds in Pucheng.
In the afternoon, my aunt called me.
When I got through, my aunt was in a bad mood and said to me, "Xing Yun, are you free?"
"Yes, what's wrong, auntie?" My heart sank and I hurriedly asked.
"Call your sister qi and pick her up."
I vaguely guessed something, but cautiously asked, "What's wrong with Sister qi?"
My aunt sighed deeply and said, "Hey, I'm leaving."
