The two visited several building materials companies and manufacturers as well as the Materials Bureau. There must be discrepancies between the prices of the Materials Bureau and the manufacturers. After all, the main role of the Materials Bureau is to provide macro-control.
Chen Lishu and Gu Xingye decided on the main materials first, such as cement and stone, and Gu Xingye was responsible for the rest.
Decorating a total of four floors of the market cost Chen Lishu more than 40,000 yuan just for the initial ordering of materials, almost all of the money she earned this year.
The loan period written on the IOU for borrowing the money from Nan Haitao was one year. Now there are still two months left, so Chen Lishu is not too anxious.
As long as the renovation is completed and delivered as scheduled, and the provincial construction funds are allocated, she can pay back the money as scheduled.
The mountainous area in the village came back with some money this year, but not much, only a few thousand yuan in total. Going too fast and too fast could cause problems, and she didn't have much energy, so Chen Lishu didn't invest any more money in it and just collected it.
It will be good if the money you get back slowly expands.
The clothing store has cash coming in every day, so it can still turn over for the time being.
As November entered, the weather gradually became colder, and indeed Liang's sales were not very good, so Chen Lishu asked Liang Chunsheng to stop fabric processing and concentrate on cashmere sweaters.
This year, Chen Lishu took another 2,000 cashmere sweaters from the woolen mill. Because they had already cooperated for a year, and Chen Lishu had limited funds, after negotiating with the woolen mill, she paid 30% in advance and the remaining 100%.
The one-time payment will be made after seventy-one months.
Last year, cashmere sweaters sold well in the Soviet Union. This year, Sun Wu called as soon as the weather turned cold and wanted to order 200 pieces first.
The cashmere sweaters are of good quality, and the prices are not high due to the proximity. The department store in the next province also said hello early this year and ordered 200 pieces.
Sell some of the rest in his own store, and let Liang Chunsheng go to the market. Two thousand pieces are still easy to digest.
Now Chen Lishu's only worry is that the clothing in the store is too simple. It is about to snow in November. Li Yuanchao's sheep city is in the south of the country. Their winter clothes cannot survive the winter here. In addition, the distance is far and the freight is high.
Not very cost-effective.
Chen Lishu has been thinking about this matter for the past two days. It is better to take the time to go to the National Cotton Factory. If she wants to buy cotton clothes in large quantities, she can only place her hope on the National Cotton Factory.
"Alas!" She was lost in thought when another sigh came from beside her. Chen Lishu turned her head and said, "What's wrong? You were sighing so early in the morning?"
Zhang Xue dug at the table depressedly: "I sighed several times."
Chen Lishu: "..." Did she hear it too late?
"Li Weimin proposed to me."
Chen Lishu's jaw almost dropped: "How long have you known each other?"
"Relationships do not matter how long we have known each other. If we have known each other for ten or eight years, we can only be friends in the end. Besides, we have been talking for more than a month. It is time to put this matter on the agenda."
Zhang Xue added as she spoke: "Didn't all great people say that any relationship that is not for the purpose of marriage is just a hooligan?"
Chen Lishu was puzzled: "Then why are you sighing?"
Zhang Xue couldn't help but rest her head on her arms and said in a low voice: "These words were said by Li Weimin, I haven't thought about it yet."
Chen Lishu opened her mouth, but she didn't realize that Li Weimin was really an activist.
"You said all soldiers are so focused on efficiency?"
Chen Lishu: "Then what do you think?"
Zhang Xue sat up straight and said, "I'm definitely willing."
"Now that we are in love, there is nothing to worry about."
Zhang Xue fell back again and said with a gloomy look: "You don't know, I am the only one in my family. My parents have always wanted me to return to my hometown after graduation. Alas, I don't know how to tell them yet."
Chen Lishu was puzzled: "What's the point? Can't you just bring them all over and live together when you get back to work?"
"I don't know what's going on at work yet, and I don't know if the unit can be assigned rooms. Li Weimin said he would report first. According to his current level, the unit can be assigned rooms, but my parents probably won't be able to pass it."
Although the conditions of Zhang Xue's family are not the best, they can definitely be considered a well-off family. They work two jobs and have only one daughter. In addition, Zhang Xue is a college student. If she returns to her hometown, the job benefits will definitely not be bad, and she won't have to worry about finding a partner.
Although Li Weimin is now the deputy battalion commander, which sounds good, but given his age, if he cannot be promoted in two years, he will inevitably retire.
Chen Lishu suddenly remembered that the country has been streamlining its military deployment in recent years, especially the one-million-million-person troop reduction in the next few years. A large number of people will inevitably be laid off from the army, from divisions to lower-level soldiers.
It's a little better now. The army will recommend jobs, but most of them are contract workers, and most of them have returned to their place of origin. If you don't accept the job, you will have to find a job on your own. In a few years, they may not even recommend the job, and you can only
Make a living on your own.
The Zhang family would definitely not agree with this point alone.
Although Zhang Xue is usually carefree, she thinks no less than others. She really likes Li Weimin and wants to be with him. They were so enthusiastic at the beginning, but now that she thinks about it, she will face a lot of problems in the future.
Chen Lishu thought for a while and came up with an idea and said: "Although it is better to share the units, I think it is better to buy another house by myself. Even if I don't live in it, I can rent it out to collect rent, or keep it for appreciation. After all, money is dead.
Moreover, wages have been rising year after year in recent years, and with the opening of the economy, money stored in banks will not only not appreciate in value, but will also depreciate."
"Buy a house?" Zhang Xue was obviously stunned when she heard Chen Lishu's words. She had never thought about this question.
Not to mention she hasn't thought about it, most people nowadays are waiting for their work units to solve their housing problems, and they have no idea about real estate speculation.
Chen Lishu nodded: "You can discuss it with Li Weimin, I just want to make a suggestion."
"No, no, no, you are the God of Wealth. I must listen to your words. I will tell him when he comes back next time." Zhang Xue knew Chen Lishu's ability very well. She said that if you can make money by buying a house, you will definitely make money.
Besides, if Li Weimin can buy a house in the provincial capital, it means that she has the determination to stay in the provincial capital. This is also a bonus. Maybe her parents will agree to them being together.
The more Zhang Xue thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was feasible, and she no longer struggled. She looked at Chen Lishu with a smile on her face: "Thanks to you."
There was no class in the afternoon, so Chen Lishu decided to go to the National Cotton Factory again.
Originally thinking that she would be rejected this year like last year, Chen Lishu even thought about her words several times. Even if the cost is higher, it doesn't matter. Small profits but quick turnover will always make money.
Who would have thought that when he entered the leader's office and said he wanted to buy cotton-padded clothes, the leader immediately stood up enthusiastically, pointed to the chair opposite the desk and said, "Please sit down, sit down and let's talk slowly."
