Chapter 248 Renting is worse than buying
After Lu Qingfei returned to Banfang Primary School, some students who arrived in advance had already cleaned the school under the teacher's organization. Seeing Lu Qingfei appearing, many of the students she taught seemed very happy and came forward to say hello.
On the other hand, the teachers who returned to school came to Mu Zhengfeng to say hello. When they learned that there were still two villages that had not arrived, Mu Zhengfeng didn’t feel any surprise. In fact, the school actually started, and it still had to wait until tomorrow.
Looking at Mo Wenbin, who also returned to school, Mu Zhengfeng, who came to his house to pay New Year's greetings before the New Year, also said respectfully: "Old Mo, I have to work hard again next. There should be many children returning to school now, right?"
"I asked the teacher to count it before, and all those who came last year have come. The school provides food and accommodation, so the mountain people are still willing to let their children read more."
"That's good! When the second half of the year starts, the number of students will probably be smaller, right?"
"Well! The number of children of appropriate age will probably not be large every year. After all, our school is only aimed at students from ten villages and eight villages."
Listening to what Mo Wenbin said, Mu Zhengfeng nodded and said, "Yes! If the clothing factory has good performance this year, I plan to choose a township with many mountain villages and run a prefabricated primary school to try to give more school-age children to school."
Facing what Mu Zhengfeng said, Mo Wenbin also smiled and said, "That's a lot of pressure, right?"
"It's okay! As long as we work together, I believe that everyone's life will get better and better in the future. In this way, we can also apply for some aid from the government. What I have to do may be to subsidize the children's food expenses."
"That year, there were actually quite a lot of people!"
"It's okay! With the current profits of the clothing factory, it is still not a big problem to support the food expenses of several primary schools. This year, the Ten Villages and Eight Villages will also launch some breeding projects one after another. If you make money, you can subsidize the school."
Mo Wenbin heard this and nodded, "Yes! Only when the mountain people are truly rich can they pay more attention to the education of their children. These children may be more promising than their parents!"
"Isn't it normal for each generation to be stronger than the next?"
After chatting with the old principal for a while, Mu Zhengfeng didn't stay at the school for long. The grain, oil, rice and flour that needed to be prepared before the start of school have been purchased. In the short term, the school does not have to worry about insufficient material supply.
After saying hello to Lu Qingfei, Mu Zhengfeng drove to his uncle's mushroom greenhouse. Seeing the first batch of mushrooms growing, they were round and beautiful, Mu Zhengfeng was also happy. He arranged for people to pick a batch.
Then he said: "Uncle, send the mushrooms to the school later and let the children taste the flavor of these mushrooms. From now on, you should try to get up early every day, pick the mushrooms suitable for sale and hand them over to the transporter of the logistics company.
Just record the number of mushrooms picked every day and the subsequent sales situation. I will call you again. When the mushrooms are produced in large quantities, I will invite Boss Zhao from the city to see the quality of our mushrooms, and then dry them into dry products."
"Okay! If there are too many mushrooms produced, I'd probably ask someone to help pick them."
"It's okay! I'll ask the women in the village to help you with the job of picking mushrooms. In addition, let technicians help and guide them to divide the mushrooms picked every day into different grades and put them in baskets. In that case, it will be easier to wholesale."
"good!"
After waiting for more than half a year, the poplars were naturally very happy to see the carefully managed mushroom shed. The people and the old people in the village had also visited the mushroom shed earlier. When they saw the dense mushrooms, they also knew that it was all money.
Although the mushrooms grown may not be as valuable as those picked in the wild. But they all know that with such a mushroom shed, the income of poplar trees will be higher this year. In contrast, the oyster mushroom shed has begun to change the strain bags again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Shu also asked: "Afeng, will the village still build a new mushroom shed this year?"
"Let's talk about it in the second half of the year! In the first half of the year, there is probably not much time. Moreover, there is a lot of work in the field, so it's not appropriate to build a mushroom shed. In the second half of the year, it's still OK to plan a few mushroom sheds nearby."
Mu Zhengfeng did not refuse to expand the mushroom shed, but just hoped to put all these projects on the summer vacation. In the first half of the year, his focus would be on the clothing factory and the road construction that continued to start after the Lantern Festival.
The three villages that opened the road again before the New Year have already felt the benefits of building the road. Some people plan to build new houses this year. If nothing unexpected happens, there will probably be a new village in the ten villages and eight villages in the future.
In addition to these, the rabbit breeding industry promoted by Mu Zhengfeng has also expanded a lot. A group of breeding rabbits cultivated by his own family before the New Year were also sent to villages that had not yet been opened and handed over to families with poor families for breeding.
Although you don’t make much money in a year, for these mountain people from poor families, it is still okay to subsidize their household income by raising rabbits. Many people with elderly people at home will raise more rabbits.
Rabbits that meet the sales standards will be sent to the convenience store. A batch of raffles that Mu Zhengfeng asked someone to make before the New Year is currently selling well. In terms of price, it is even more expensive than selling fresh rabbits.
As the number of logistics companies expands and increases, the agricultural and sideline products that Mu Zhengfeng can sell also have more sales channels. Although at this stage, logistics companies only lay channels in counties under Dingshan Prefecture, the results are also good.
Busy about dealing with these things, Mu Zhengfeng acted as a photographer and shot out the new spring clothes that were produced in a fixed style. The remaining sets of fixed styles would need to be taken to the provincial capital, and Li Yutong would still be the model.
Li Yutong naturally would not refuse this invitation. As the store manager, Li Yutong gradually felt that being responsible for taking pictures of clothing online also gave her a certain popularity in the eyes of customers.
Many customers in the store will ask when they see Li Yutong: "Store Manager, did you take the online picture?"
"Yes! In addition to the store manager, I occasionally work as a part-time clothing model."
Perhaps it was because she could see the real person, and Li Yutong also felt that being able to be the spokesperson for Lark Clothing was a good thing for her. If she really wanted to invite other models to shoot, she still felt that it would be more appropriate for her to shoot with Mu Zhengfeng?
Seeing the clothes being mass-produced, Mu Zhengfeng took some sample clothes, explained to Yang Azi and his aunt, and then went to the provincial capital again. Unlike before, he did not bring Ji Ayi with him this time.
After arriving in the provincial capital, he did not contact Li Yutong at the first time, but went to find a suitable place for shooting. Fortunately, there were many places suitable for photography in the provincial capital, and it would not cost much if you rent it for a few hours.
Originally, according to Mu Zhengfeng's intention, he wanted to call Li Yutong back to the factory to shoot. Later, he thought about it and still needed to come to the provincial capital to take a look. Wang Rumeng, the second store located in the provincial capital, already had a goal.
After receiving a call from Mu Zhengfeng, Wang Rumeng also said unexpectedly: "Have you come to the provincial capital?"
"Well! I just went to the photo studio and I will take pictures of some new clothes for Yutong tomorrow. I will call Yutong later and take a look at the address of the selected store! By the way, I'll treat you to a meal."
But when Wang Rumeng heard Mu Zhengfeng's invitation, she smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will be a light bulb?"
"You are not bald, can you still shine and heat? Okay, I'll pick you up when you get off work."
Mu Zhengfeng ended the call quickly after not talking to Wang Rumeng for too long. Even when he heard the busy sound from his phone, Wang Rumeng said speechlessly: "This guy is really domineering!"
On the other hand, Li Yutong, who was in the store, was naturally happy to learn that Mu Zhengfeng came to the provincial capital again. When she heard that she wanted to invite her to have dinner with Wang Rumeng and check the location of the new store, she didn't say anything.
After calling the newly promoted store manager and asked him to take care of the store, he quickly got into the car that Mu Zhengfeng drove. After a brief discussion, the three of them went to the mall at the store to have dinner.
When they arrived at the commercial street that Wang Rumeng was interested in, the three of them did not go to the restaurant to have dinner at the first time. Instead, they took the opportunity to check out the traffic on the pedestrian street. Even if it was just dark, there were already a lot of pedestrians on this street.
After walking for a while, Wang Rumeng pointed to a shop with a transfer and rent in front and said, "It's this shop, which has an area of about 200 square meters. This shop also made clothes earlier, but for some reason it didn't start?"
“Is that kind of miscellaneous stores?”
"It should be! In fact, there are many counters selling clothes nearby. If we are willing to enter the mall, it should be easier to find a shop. The problem is that if clothes enter the mall, the rent is still relatively high."
Facing Wang Rumeng’s story, Mu Zhengfeng also said directly: “Have you ever asked, how much does this store cost for sale?”
When Wang Rumeng heard this, she was stunned and said, "Do you want to buy a store again? The store in this place should not be cheap? If you have a square meter, the average price is about 20,000 yuan! It is still more expensive than the commercial building!"
What she didn't expect was that Mu Zhengfeng said directly: "Compared to leasing, I prefer to buy the store directly. In that case, I don't have to worry about the good business, and the landlord will raise the rent for us at any time!"
"You are the boss. If you really have money to buy the store, I will definitely have no objection!"
"This question is actually very simple! Buy the store first. If the company needs more working capital, you can also use the store to go to the bank for a mortgage loan. The interest on the loan, calculated monthly, should be lower than the rent, right?"
With Mu Zhengfeng saying this, Wang Ru had a certain sense of dreaming about it. But she still didn't know that the average price per square meter of shops in such a prosperous commercial street in the future will be at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. If you buy it now, it is equivalent to making a profit!
If it is really difficult to open a specialty store in the future, renting or selling it can also recycle some funds. In Mu Zhengfeng's view, buying a store and opening a specialty store is also considered a disguised investment. Moreover, he is not unable to get the money from buying a store now!
With his words, Wang Rumeng naturally knew what to do. After staying nearby, Mu Zhengfeng felt that the boss who rented a store had not been able to make it, which may have something to do with his selling miscellaneous brands.
If you do clothing sales, the grade will be improved, as long as the style and price are good, the business should not be too bad!
