"Are you short of money now?" Gu Junlin did not take the conversation, but asked another unrelated question.
Zhang Ji was stunned, his expression became even more lonely, and he muttered:
"Yes, the hospital said that my wife is going to have an operation soon, and the operation fee is exactly 80,000."
"How about this?" After thinking for a while, Gu Junlin said: "You don't need to transfer the supermarket. I'll ask Miracle Doctor Zhou Yan to perform the surgery on your wife. He shouldn't charge too much."
"Really, really?" Zhang Ji looked at Gu Junlin in disbelief, his lips trembling: "Can you really ask the miracle doctor Zhou Yan to perform an operation on my wife?"
Gu Junlin said nothing and called Zhou Yan in front of Zhang Ji. Zhou Yan happened to be free today and promised to help Zhang Ji's wife perform the surgery in the afternoon.
After hearing the news, Zhang Ji almost jumped up with excitement and kept saying thank you to Gu Junlin. Gu Junlin didn't take it seriously and said calmly:
"No need to thank me, it just so happens that my wife and I are planning to open a supermarket recently."
"If Zhou Yan can help your wife cure her illness, just pass on your experience in opening a supermarket to me."
Zhang Ji patted his chest and agreed wholeheartedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, my family has been running a supermarket for more than ten years. I know where to buy things cheaply. When the time comes, I will introduce all those suppliers to Mr. Gu."
Gu Junlin didn't hesitate, gave Zhang Ji Zhou Yan's phone number, and sent Zhang Ji away.
In the evening, Zhang Ji came again, carrying two large baskets of fruits, with a grateful face: "Mr. Gu, it's really thanks to you this time. I have contacted Dr. Zhou Yan, and my wife's surgery was very successful. Thank you.
"
With that said, Zhang Ji bowed deeply to Gu Junlin.
"No, no need." Gu Junlin quickly helped Zhang Ji up. The two stood at the door and talked. Gu Junlin sent Zhang Ji away again.
When leaving, Zhang Ji gave Gu Junlin a list with the contact information of all his suppliers.
This was originally a top secret that no businessman would reveal to others easily, but Zhang Ji dedicated it so selflessly.
"Thank you." Gu Junlin expressed his sincere thanks and put the piece of paper into his pocket as if he had found a treasure.
After dinner in the evening, Gu Junlin took the opportunity to talk to Zhong Huixue about opening a supermarket.
The two of them hit it off instantly.
Zhong Huixue has long thought about opening another supermarket. Now she already has a wedding dress shop. If they open another supermarket, their life will slowly get better.
Zhang Ji's list couldn't have come at a better time.
"What do you think about Zhangji? Do you want to buy that store? Our family still has some savings, about three hundred thousand." After the joy, Zhong Huixue calmed down and asked calmly.
"I don't want to open that store. If I want to open it, I will open a new store." Gu Junlin put forward his own idea.
Zhong Huixue nodded. In fact, she had the same idea.
However, if you want to open a store, you must first rent a store, which has become the most important goal now.
The next day, after calling Zhongli to inspect the store, Gu Junlin and Zhong Huixue drove around looking for a store suitable for opening a supermarket.
After a day of running, the two of them were exhausted, but still couldn't find a suitable store.
"Forget it, let's eat something first, I really can't run anymore." In desperation, the two of them had to go back to Qiannan Street, Zhong Huixue said with a tired face.
"Okay, let's go eat jelly." The two of them found a place and were about to eat when suddenly Zhong Huixue pointed to a store opposite and said:
"Gu Junlin, look, there is a store for rent there. We have wasted all day today. If we had known earlier, we should have asked about this store first."
Gu Junlin looked up and immediately regretted it.
This store is on Qiannan Street, only a few dozen meters away from their wedding dress shop, and the store is not small, so it is perfect for a supermarket.
"Okay, I'll go over and ask after dinner."
After a quick meal, the two of them went to the store and dialed the phone number left on the wall outside.
Not long after, an uncle in his forties, wearing slippers, walked over slowly, glanced at Gu Junlin and Zhong Huixue, and asked:
"You two called me just now? Do you want to rent a house?"
"Yes, I want to rent a shop and open a supermarket." Gu Junlin said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll show you."
The uncle opened the door and took Gu Junlin and the two of them around for a walk. They were quite satisfied with the store, but the price the uncle asked was a bit too high.
The annual rent is actually 150,000 yuan, and the payment lasts for three years.
"Uncle, your rent is too expensive, can it be made cheaper?" Gu Junlin discussed with the uncle.
After hearing this, the uncle suddenly became unhappy and his face turned cold: "Expensive? This is the price on Qiannan Street. If you don't believe me, go ask elsewhere. Anyway, I don't have to worry about renting out this store."
"Uncle, please wait a moment."
Gu Junlin pulled Zhong Huixue aside, and the two of them discussed it and felt that this place was really good and it would be better to rent it.
The two of them discussed it with the uncle again, and finally agreed on the price. It was still 150,000 yuan a year, but they could only pay it for one year.
"Okay." After discussing the price, the two of them went back to get the money. Who knew that after they came here, the uncle suddenly changed his mind again. The originally negotiated 150,000 yuan a year became 200,000 yuan, and it was a one-time payment.
It has to be paid for three years.
Gu Junlin immediately became angry and said angrily: "What's wrong with you? Why are you going back on your word?"
The uncle looked like an old god and said, "Whether you want to rent it or not, the price is the same now anyway. If you don't want it, you can go look elsewhere."
"Uncle Fourth, I'm here." At this moment, a young man ran in happily with a bank card in his hand and shouted:
"Just do what I said just now. The rent is 80,000 yuan a year, and I will give you two years of rent first."
"Xiaoyang is here. The contract has been prepared for you. Just pay according to this price." As soon as he saw the young man, the uncle immediately abandoned Gu Junlin and walked towards the young man with a smile.
The two people murmured together there.
Seeing this scene, Gu Junlin didn't know that the uncle had rented the house to his nephew at a low price, so he rashly increased the price.
"Let's go." Gu Junlin winked at Zhong Huixue, and the two of them walked out of the store together. Unexpectedly, the uncle suddenly stopped the two of them again and said with a smile:
"Don't leave in a hurry. I've been introducing you for a long time, but you haven't paid me the introduction fee yet."
"Are you still asking me for money?" Gu Junlin's expression changed and he said coldly: "We haven't rented your shop, so why do you want our introduction fee?"
The uncle's face also changed, and he showed a fierce look: "Stop talking nonsense and give me the introduction fee quickly. My nephew is the market manager of Qiannan Street. If you don't give me the money, be careful that your shabby wedding dress shop will be in trouble."
The young man was stunned and immediately threatened loudly: "Yes, give the introduction fee to my third uncle quickly, or I will be rude to you."
