Chapter 182
Of course, opening a shop is not something that can be done immediately, especially since they are already poor now, and they don’t have much money, and the noodle making machine is not cheap. You can’t just do it casually, so the idea has to be carefully thought out and planned.
Although Song Jia has no business acumen, he knows that some things are not waiting for others, so he suggested: “Otherwise, we will buy that machine first and then plan slowly. After the plan was completed, the machines were bought away.”
Mu Nan: “How much does the noodle making machine cost?”
Jian Chu shook his head: “I haven’t had any inquiries yet, but I saw him asking in the community group if anyone wanted a noodle press machine, so I thought that if I could buy it, I might be able to open a shop.”
Although noodle shops don’t necessarily need a noodle press machine, ramen noodles, knife-cut noodles, etc. are handmade, but if there is a machine, they can sell raw noodles and cooked noodles at the same time. It should be possible to make a living with a little wealth if you are very rich.
Song Jia: “Otherwise, if you get in touch, ask first to see what the price is. If it’s not too expensive, we’ll make it together, or we can go for a loan.”
Because many people now want to open factories or farms, rent and buy land to build houses, there are special lending banks, but if you want to get a loan, you must mortgage something of at least the same value.
They are not worried about mortgaging this piece. The two solar generators have no solar panels now. The generators have been collecting dust, but they are reluctant to sell them. After all, it is easy to sell, but it may not be easy to buy in the future. So if you mortgage it for a loan, it can be considered if the loan is paid off and the things are still theirs.
The next thing Mu Nan has been listening to is foggy. He has never been in touch with loans, mortgages, and how to distribute the share income if the store opens, because now it is only a family. Apart from him and Qin Huai, their yard probably doesn’t have the financial resources to open a store. To make this business happen, they can only cooperate with multiple companies.
But no matter how good the relationship is, the brothers still have to settle accounts clearly, so some shareholding ratios and the like must be carefully planned.
Mu Nan saw that they were discussing as if the store was going to open tomorrow, so he had to remind him: “Why don’t you buy the noodle making machine first and then discuss it? Otherwise, the discussion got to the top and the machine became someone else’s. Be happy for nothing.”
This contact is not something that you can reply immediately after contacting someone, and after that Boss Fang asked about the noodle press in the group, there must be many people adding him to ask about it, so after Jian Chu sent a message, it has been going on. There was no response and I was not very disappointed, just sighed: “Wait, I will follow you when people reply.”
Mu Nan snorted: “Then I’ll go back first.”
Song Jia pulled him: “What are you doing when you go back, the battery is out now, it’s not boring to go back, why don’t you just sit here and chat and save some battery for your phone.”
Mu Nan thought in his heart that he had to go back because there was no electricity. He wanted to go back and take a shower to enjoy the coolness of the ice cubes, so he didn’t want to sit here and take a sauna with the three of them.
But he said: “The house hasn’t been tidied up yet. My brother said to tidy it up slowly before the door is installed. I have to go back and help.”
After returning home, Mu Nan went to the third floor to take a shower, and then returned to the storage room on the second floor. Qin Huai was using the computer with the electric link plug-in board inside the storage battery. Mu Nan thought that Qin Huai was working, but now although There was no electricity, but there was internet, maybe he was playing his little game again, but when he went over to take a look, he was actually watching a little video.
Mu Nan rubbed over with steam all over her body: “What kind of video is this, a game explanation?”
Qin Huai hummed: “The next level is a bit difficult, so someone released a game explanation, I’ll look for inspiration.”
Thinking about the conversation at Jian Chu’s house just now, Mu Nan told them about their idea of opening a store, and then asked Qin Huai, “Do you think this store can be opened?”
This is to open a shop, not to set up a stall in the market.
On the other side of the small square, there is a row of shops that are said to be sold soon. Although disasters are happening now, life is slowly returning to the past. That business owner must be indispensable, so in addition to the houses for living, every shop will be sold in the future. They must all be opened.
But Mu Nan didn’t have a strong idea of whether to open a shop, and even felt troublesome at one time, because if he opened a shop, he didn’t know how to do kitchen work, so he must help outside, and if he helped outside, he would definitely need to contact people. He’s not afraid of meeting people, and he’s not so unique yet, but he doesn’t like it either, so opening a shop is more troublesome for him than making money.
After listening to Mu Nan’s nagging narration, Qin Huai said, “It’s not necessarily necessary to cooperate. What they mainly lack is funds. We can borrow them. If you don’t think they will cooperate, you can talk to them when they get busy.” There are fewer and fewer topics, and they spend more and more time in contact, so we can cooperate in another way.”
Mu Nan is indeed a little worried about this. Although everyone is an adult, it is not enough to say that they want to play all day long, but the relationship between the three of them is quite balanced now, and he doesn’t like a certain balance being broken. , plus he is not the active type to make friends. To put it bluntly, he doesn’t like too many changes in his life, but in order to live a good life, there must be changes.
He can stay where he is, but the people around him can’t. He and Qin Huai will never worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives, but everyone else is working hard for tomorrow. If he just stays where he is, sooner or later he will be farther and farther away from the people around him.
Hearing that Qin Huai said that they could cooperate in another way, Mu Nan quickly asked, “What do you mean? How?”
Qin Huai: “When you open a noodle shop, besides raw noodles, you must have cooked food. The cooked food must have some side dishes. In the future, you can always grow Chinese cabbage, make your best kimchi and sell them as side dishes, and you can also process potatoes. Hot and sour potato shreds can also be used as a side dish, or you can simply grow green onions, you must add some green onions to the noodles, there are many ways to cooperate, and you don’t have to go to the store every day to help serve dishes to be called cooperation.”
Mu Nan’s eyes suddenly brightened, this is okay, if he is in charge of providing side dishes, then he doesn’t need to go out every day, just make more at a time and put them in space, and then send them some fresh food every day.
“Wow, you are so smart, I never thought you could do this!”
Qin Huai rubbed Mu Nan’s head amusedly: “So what you should think about now is how to take down other people’s machines. After all, a noodle making machine is probably not cheaper than a solar generator, and the sum of our few companies is worth a lot of money. There may not even be three hundred yuan in it.”
When they discussed opening the noodle shop that night, the line in the second district was re-connected and successfully connected to electricity, because there is a school over there, and the school will reopen tomorrow, so the electricity must be connected as soon as possible.
The air conditioner was turned on again at home, and while Yu Zibai and Wu Zheng were off work, the three families simply sat down again and held a meeting.
But before the meeting started, I saw Xu Ming coming back with a bag of corn. Xu Ming saw that they had arrived so neatly, he smiled and said, “It’s just right, so I don’t run away too much, you take it and share it.”
Jian Chu’s eyes lit up: “Corn? Is there any corn for sale outside now?”
Xu Ming shook his head: “No, this is the reward for the staff on duty at the farm during the last sandstorm. It’s not much, just three. One is just right for your family.”
Mu Nan: “What about you?”
Xu Ming smiled and said, “I’m afraid that there will be no corn to eat on the farm? You can eat it with peace of mind. You may be able to get some pork next month, but the price will definitely be more expensive than last time. I’ll see then, if the pork The price is not too expensive to tell you.”
Song Jiachao Xu Ming made a gesture of love for you: “Send you a little heart.”
Jian Chu said: “We are going to open a joint venture store, do you want to participate? However, the noodle pressing machine has not been taken down yet, but I have contacted Boss Fang, and the price still needs to be negotiated.”
Xu Ming waved his hand: “I’m not going to participate anymore, I’m already too busy, but if you don’t have enough money, I can lend it to you. I still have more than 400 yuan in my hand.”
More than 400 yuan, they are the richest here, but Xu Ming ate and drank on the farm, although he also stockpiled food, but other than that, he had almost no expenses, so it was normal to be able to save this money.
Jane Chu responded, let’s see the situation when the time comes, he will definitely borrow it if necessary.
Xu Ming said: “I’ll go up and pack some clothes first, I don’t know when I’ll come back next time.”
Everyone looked at him quickly: “What’s the matter? What happened?”
Xu Ming said: “The higher-ups seconded me, and the hospital was crazy busy. I have rescue experience before, and there are records in the files, so the higher-ups seconded me to the emergency room of the hospital. This sandstorm caused many deaths and serious injuries. There are too many, the medical staff are already overwhelmed, and almost all experienced ones have been seconded. Fortunately, this is not an outbreak of an infectious disease, otherwise it will be another serious injury.”
Yu Zibai frowned: “A lot of people died?”
Although the Internet connection is relatively fast, there is no official news. Private chats are more about what was lost at home this time, who’s house was uprooted, and there were also deaths and serious injuries, but because the focus is not on this above, so their feelings are not great.
“Many, the first day you came back from the shelter, electricians came to repair and clean up the wires, but their task was not just to clean up the wires, but also to check the conditions of each household. Many people hid at home, but Because of the strong wind and sand, I suffocated and died at home. When all the electricity is turned on, a census will be conducted at that time, because there are also many missing people who were swept away by the wind, and because almost all of us evacuated following the above, so this There are not many such cases, but in the latter districts, as well as those in the outer city, many died.”
What Xu Ming said made them feel a little silent, because this time the disaster didn’t come suddenly and people were caught off guard, it wasn’t like an earthquake and flood that came in an instant and made people have no way out.
This time, as long as we obeyed the arrangement above and evacuated in an orderly manner, not to mention that no one would die, but there would definitely not be too many deaths, but it happened that if we didn’t listen to the government when it was time to listen, we could obviously live.
