"No problem, just follow what you said, brother-in-law. This place is really big. If it weren't for brother-in-law, I wouldn't have been able to rent it so quickly. Even the tobacco retail license and purchase permit were obtained so quickly.

"Su Jiangang said.

He had never sold cigarettes before, but he also knew that it could not be done in a few days. It could only be done so quickly because Lu Hao had left the relationship and found an acquaintance.

"The store is not rented, I bought it." Lu Hao said.

"Bought it?" Su Jiangang was surprised.

He really didn't know, he thought he was renting it.

"What's so strange? It only costs a few hundred yuan per square meter, which is very cheap." Lu Hao said.

The property rights of the store he bought were owned by the public, and they were commercial properties, which were 30% to 50% more expensive than residential properties. Thanks to Huang Jilin's relationship, a 30% markup was used as the final price.

It costs 325 yuan per square meter, and the total area is 336 square meters. Including taxes and fees, it costs more than 100,000 yuan.

Su Jiangang was stunned.

Only a few hundred yuan per flat?

This place is more than 300 square meters!

The total cost cannot be more than 100,000?

Only the second brother-in-law could say it in such an understatement, shopping for a store is like buying cabbage, too casual.

"Then you have to calculate the rent." Su Jiangang said.

"Definitely, the monthly rent for business premises is usually 1 to 7 yuan per square meter. This store is in a busy area, but it has not been decorated, so it is calculated as 3 yuan per square meter. After the decoration is completed, the price will have to be raised.

Mention it." Lu Hao said.

"Okay." Su Jiangang nodded.

But then he thought about it in his mind and was shocked.

336 square meters, 3 yuan per square meter, one month's rent is 1,000 yuan.

I don’t know if the billiards business can make that much money in a month.

"Now that we have arrived at the door, we just have to make the final step. Don't worry about gains and losses, just do it with your heart." Lu Hao saw his surprise, "But the table fee is too low, so I have to change it. It's only 50 cents a plate."

"Fifty cents a plate? This is too expensive, it can almost buy a pound of meat." Su Jiangang couldn't even imagine the price.

I didn't expect that Lu Hao would raise the fee for one set to such a high level.

"Billiards is not for ordinary citizens to play. It is played by young people who have some spare money, and those who have a decent income. Of these two types of people, one is not afraid of spending money, and the other is those who have money to spend. As for

Ordinary citizens, like Dad, they will definitely be reluctant to play, no matter if it is 5 cents or 2 cents, they will not go in." Lu Hao said.

"If it really costs 20 cents per plate and 15 minutes per plate, in 10 hours a day, one table will only make 8 yuan, and 13 tables will only make 104 yuan a day. It's definitely not going to work. It's too slow."

"And if you set it a little higher now, if it doesn't work, you can lower the price later. If the price is set low, if there are a lot of people playing, and if you raise the price again, it will give people the impression that the price is being raised, which is not good for business."

Many people don't even know what billiards is and don't know how to play it. No matter what the price is, the probability of such people playing billiards is very low. Their opinions don't need to be considered when setting prices.

"Brother-in-law, what you said makes sense. Okay, let's try it first. We'll order 50 cents a plate. If it doesn't work, we'll lower the price later." Su Jiangang nodded, "Then I'll move the pool table in, connect the water and electricity, and provide snacks."

, drinks, and cigarettes are also on the table.”

The actual price of 50 cents was still a bit high for him, but there was not much time left before the Chinese New Year, so he gave it a try first. If he couldn't wait until after the New Year, he would lower the price and make the decoration look better.

This period of time before the year was all about trying your hand first.

"The toilet also needs to be set up. I can be a little careless about other things, but the toilet is not good. Halfway through the game, I have to hold in my urine and run to the toilet somewhere else in the cold. How uncomfortable is that?" Lu Hao made a request.

.

"No problem, this won't take long." Su Jiangang nodded and agreed.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do. Just prepare yourself." Lu Hao nodded and threw the key to him, "This is the door key to the store."

"Brother-in-law, you won't be here on the opening day?" Su Jiangang looked at Lu Hao, as if he was about to step aside as a shopkeeper, and asked hurriedly.

He was a little panicked.

"What's the point? On a cold day, wouldn't it be nice to hug your wife at home?" Lu Hao waved his hand, "Just call me when something happens."

!!!

Su Jiangang was stunned.

Do you want to be so straightforward? At least be more tactful. The wife you are holding is my sister!

"Okay, let's wait until brother-in-law comes back from your hometown in the next year." Su Jiang just calmed down and said.

He was already not very optimistic about the period before the year and was ready to lose money.

There is no decoration, just simple water and electricity connections, and the station fee is so expensive, how can it be successful?

In the evening, Lu Hao's family of three gathered around the table for dinner.

There is a copper hotpot in the center of the table, burning charcoal, boiled mutton, winter melon, radish, luncheon meat, and spinach.

Steaming hot.

This way of eating is relatively rare in Jiangcheng at the moment, and mutton is rarely eaten. The meat on the table is mostly pork, beef, and fish. Lu Hao learned the way of eating from the north. Junquge

I even learned how to make hot pot. Put charcoal in the middle, have soup base on the edge, boil some mutton, and put radish, winter melon, luncheon meat, and spinach in it.

I adjusted the dipping sauce myself, chopped green pepper, minced garlic, added salt and pepper, heated oil, and poured it on top.

Add some more vinegar and some soy sauce.

Very fragrant!

"Dad, the mutton is delicious." Nini picked up a piece of mutton, put it in a bowl, turned it around, and dipped it in the dipping sauce. It tasted delicious.

There was a cold wind blowing outside the window, but the three people in the room were very warm.

"Eat less spicy food," Su Min said.

She picked up the cooked mutton and put it into her man's bowl. She also picked up another piece of mutton and put it aside in a bowl without seasoning, signaling Nini to eat this.

"The vegetables cooked like this taste much better than fried ones." She picked up a piece of winter melon and took a small bite.

My man really has a lot of ideas.

She thought it was troublesome before, but after eating it a few times, she became addicted.

The weather is cold, and the vegetables will get cold after a while after being fried, so you have to hurry up and eat. But you can eat hot pot like this, rinse the meat, put some vegetables in, and chat while eating, while your body is still warm.

"I want to eat winter melon too." Nini agreed.

Su Min gave her a piece of winter melon, and then looked at Lu Hao, "How are things going at Jiangang's side?"

"I've found the location. It's more than 300 square meters and the location is relatively prosperous," Lu Hao said.

"More than 300 square meters? Such a large area?" Su Min was shocked.

"There are 13 billiard tables. The area is actually not that big. It's too small. It's easy to bump into people when it's crowded." Lu Hao said, "It's just that time is tight now. The Chinese New Year is coming soon and there is no decoration. I asked him to first
