Chapter 574 Congratulations

Xie Tao is usually not a talkative person, but he and Zhang Zian have known each other since they were young, and they both understand each other's personality, so they can say whatever they have, and they will talk endlessly after opening the chatter box, mainly complaining about the difficulty of doing business.

Most of his complaints are common problems for small businesses, such as high inventory pressure, slow capital turnover, rapidly changing fashion trends, customers are becoming more and more picky, the living space of physical stores is squeezed by online stores, and Grandma Gu’s hygiene fees are increasing. More and more of that sort of thing... there's nothing new under the sun. But Zhang Zian had encountered these same problems, and they were even more serious. The difference was that Zhang Zian gritted his teeth and survived, while Xie Tao was more self-pitying and full of negative energy.

They had known each other since they were children, but when they grew up, they became a little different because they went to different places. Zhang Zian agreed in his heart with what he complained about, but he didn't agree with his attitude, but he didn't say much, but listened carefully, adding a few words from time to time.

As he was talking, Xie Tao suddenly realized that he was talking all the time, and seemed very rude, so he changed the topic and said with a narrow smile: "Don't just talk about me, how are you doing now? I passed by your pet shop in the morning, look The business seems to be pretty good? Several people are picking pets in the store, and most of them are young girls?"

Zhang Zian also echoed with a smile: "Brother Tao, you haven't watched the news a few months ago? Didn't one picture blow up Moments? It is said that a certain e-commerce website released a set of PPTs on consumption, investment and market value. In terms of market value, girls>children>young women>old people>dogs>men, and some netizens who have good deeds even added the word 'cat' in front of girls, becoming cats>girls>children>young women>old people>dogs>men ..."

There is probably nothing wrong with the conclusion that spending money for a man is worse than spending money for a dog, and spending money for a woman is worse than spending money for a cat.

"Haha! Yes! Yes! I've seen this! As soon as you said it, I remembered it!" Xie Tao patted his head and suddenly realized: "I see, you mean that men's money is not easy to earn, but Young girls are better at doing business? Really, it seems that you still have to find the right way to do business! I am dying. I don’t have a business mind. I am afraid that the store left by my parents will be defeated by me. "

"Brother Tao, why don't you buy more women's shoes? Then buy some women's fashion magazines and look for fashion trends. Maybe it will become popular." Zhang Zian suggested.

Although he came to the shop, but he has known each other for many years and grew up together, he still wants to try to give Xie Tao a hand. Even if he can't sell this store, he can try his luck at other stores.

Hearing this, Xie Tao smiled bitterly and waved his hands again and again, "Xiao Anzi, I appreciate your kindness—but forget it, I won't bother, I don't have that ability, and I'm stupid, I don't know how to sell, customers come in and let them Look, if I want to try it, I will find the right shoe size for them. If a customer asks me what material the sole is made of, and what material the upper is made of, I will only answer the most basic ones such as cloth, leather, rubber, and mesh. Others I don’t know if I ask three questions.”

Zhang Zian shook his head secretly, doing business like Xie Tao, no wonder the business is getting worse and worse. He didn't know much about pets at first, but he bought a lot of books to make up for it, so that he wouldn't be overwhelmed by customers' tricky questions. Fina can teach a kitten to dance, but not everyone buys a cat for the purpose of being able to dance. For a girl like Weiwei, if he didn't learn that Sissen is an allergy-free cat from the information, he would have missed a fortune. small business.

"Actually, you can learn more..." He persuaded again.

Xie Tao shook his head, "I don't have that time,

I can't stop reading. I'm different from you. I didn't like reading when I was a child. When I read, I get a headache... Forget it, I don't want to continue to do it. I want to find a way to clear these shoes in the warehouse. Spend the New Year with my wife and children at home. "

Zhang Zian's heart moved when he heard this, and he asked, "Brother Tao, what are you going to do with this shop?"

Xie Tao pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly: "Sell it if you can sell it, and rent it if you can't sell it. Even if it is renting, it can be regarded as an income anyway. It is better than the half-dead one like now, which wastes energy for nothing..."

Zhang Zian hesitated a little, and said, "Brother Tao, I want to know how much you plan to sell it for?"

Xie Tao was startled, "What? You want to sell it too? Your store is doing well, why are you selling it?"

He obviously misunderstood, thinking that Zhang Zian would also sell the store.

"No, no, actually... I plan to expand the scale recently, so if the price is right, I want to buy it." Zhang Zian answered truthfully, and then stared nervously at Xie Tao's expression. We are all neighbors, separated by a wall. Your business is so bad that you have to close the shop, and my business is so good that you have to expand. This huge psychological gap can easily arouse resentment and resistance from the other party.

Xie Tao's face froze for a moment, just when Zhang Zian secretly cried out, he smiled and said, "That's great! I'm going to find a real estate agency to advertise. If you buy it, you can save a lot of money." The agency fee is not small, and they are both suitable."

Hearing that his tone was very sincere, Zhang Zian didn't look like he was harboring resentment, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Brother Tao, don't you think it's a pity that you sold the shop?"

"It's not a pity, what's the pity about it? Trees are moved to death, people are moved to live, I am not a nostalgic person, I know that I am not a material for doing business, why do I persist? You think so?" Xie Tao relaxed He said calmly: "The children and daughter-in-law need me more. After selling the store, I just want to change the wife and children to a big house, so I won't be staying in Binhai City anymore...Maybe I will come back to drink with you occasionally in the future."

Zhang Zian suppressed the excitement in his heart, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Tao, when the time comes, I will invite you... such a big matter, do you want to discuss it with your wife?"

"I mentioned it to her before, and she agreed." Xie Tao said with a smile, "Our child was just born, when we needed money, and the milk powder alone cost one or two thousand yuan a month. This shoe store can't make money. Money, you have to put money into it, it’s better to sell it, how much is your feelings worth? Xiao Anzi, you are not married yet, you will understand when you get married and have children."

"It might be true." Zhang Zian admitted, after all, he had never experienced the same situation.

Since both Xie Tao and his wife agreed to sell, there is no obstacle, as long as they can reach an agreement on the issue of money. Although the housing prices in Binhai City have been rising, the rate of increase has stabilized, neither skyrocketing nor plummeting. Everyone knows how much this house can sell for.

The real estate market is golden, nine silver and ten, and the Spring Festival is the low period of transaction volume. Xie Tao was eager to get rid of the deal, and he knew Zhang Zian well, so he didn't make things too difficult on the price, and even gave him a certain discount, and quickly reached a verbal agreement.

After the negotiation, both parties were relieved, Xie Tao informed his wife of the result of the negotiation through WeChat, and guaranteed Zhang Zian's credit. His wife was very reasonable and let him decide for himself.

During the conversation between Xie Tao and his wife, Zhang Zian walked around the store, knocked on the wall, and made a little guess. Considering that after buying the store, it will need to be redecorated, the funds will be very tight, and he may have to go to the bank Loans... This is really hard work for decades, and I went back to before liberation overnight.

The last time the shoe store was renovated was at least twenty years ago. It doesn’t matter. The most important thing is that the walls are very thin, neither soundproof nor heat-proof, and there are many gaps in the joints of the floor at the corners, which must be repainted and strengthened. .

As a delivery room, this store means putting unsterilized adult cats in. If the sound insulation measures are not in place, the barking at night may be very disturbing and attract complaints. In addition, the gaps must be smoothed out to prevent insects, otherwise groups of fleas will be attracted.

"OK!"

Xie Tao stuffed the phone back into his pocket excitedly, and made an OK gesture.

"Are you ready with sister-in-law?" Zhang Zian asked.

"It's done." Xie Tao looked at the store with emotion, "Xiao Anzi, this store will be yours from now on, you have to work hard, don't be like Brother Tao, when I pass by Binhai City, I still want to enter Let's take a look at the store, but don't transfer it to someone else..."

"Don't worry, Brother Tao." Zhang Zian said confidently.

"Okay, it's fine with your words." Xie Tao pointed to the next door, "I believe you too. When I passed by your store, I think you still hired someone?"

"Yeah, sometimes I have to go out to buy goods, and I can't do it by myself." Zhang Zian replied, "I want to try to open the door every day, so I have to hire someone anyway."

Xie Tao smiled a little lonely, "You know how to do business, and you will definitely do better and better. Well, I'll go back today first, and I'll come back another day to pack and take away these unsold shoes. Clean up the room above and make room for you earlier."

Seeing that he was about to say goodbye, Zhang Zian suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Brother Tao, wait for me."

He hurried back to the store, picked up a British shorthair kitten, and took a flight case by the way, ignoring Lu Yiyun's inquiry, and entered the shoe store next door again.

"Brother Tao, my shop only sells pets, and there is nothing in the shop except pets... This cat is given to you and sister-in-law, and it is my wedding gift. Don't dislike it." He said.

Xie Tao was stunned, "Brother, you are too polite, how can you be so mean? Even if it is a wedding red envelope, it will be enough to send three to five hundred..."

"It's okay. If my sister-in-law is not pregnant, I dare not give a cat. After all, there may be toxoplasma problems, but now that my sister-in-law has given birth, it is no problem to raise a cat." The cat was put in the flight case and handed to him.

"Hey, this cat is so beautiful! How much is it? If it's too expensive, I can't have it!" Xie Tao held the flight case and carefully looked at the puppet cat through the cage door.

"It's not expensive, it's just an ordinary cat." Zhang Zian didn't allow him to refuse, turned around and walked out of the shop, waving his hand, "Brother Tao, say hello to sister-in-law for me when you get back."

"Okay, don't worry." Xie Tao said casually, his attention has been completely attracted by this well-behaved kitten. ...
