How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 342 It's Not Easy Being a Parent

"Close the door. I'll treat everyone to lunch at noon." Li Le said to Manager Hu and two waiters.

"Good boss."

"thank you boss!"

Shopkeeper Hu locked the door, and Li Le took them out of the antique market.

I didn't pick any good place, I just found a random restaurant outside the market.

Li Le picked this restaurant at random, which is also a place that Manager Hu and his friends usually don't want to go to.

Because I was busy in the afternoon, I didn't order any wine, but even so, the meal cost more than a thousand yuan.

The average cost per person is more than 300 yuan.

That night, as soon as Li Le got home, Nie Weiwei said to him, "Honey, there's a package for you."

"My express delivery?" Li Le asked, pointing at his nose.

"Yes! It was delivered this afternoon, by express delivery within the city."

"Oh!"

Li Le went into the house, picked up the express and took a look. He found that it was sent by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. He quickly opened it and took a look. It was indeed a business license.

Li Le kissed the business license and said, "Great, we can finally open for business."

"Honey, what is this?" Nie Weiwei came in from outside and asked.

“I just got a business license.”

"Business license? Hasn't the store already got it done?" Nie Weiwei asked puzzledly.

Her shop selling famous cigarettes, liquors and teas had obtained its business license twenty days ago, and also had a special tobacco monopoly license.

"This is not the business license for your store, but the business license for an antique store I got in Panjiayuan."

Hearing what Li Le said, Nie Weiwei nodded and said, "I see."

"By the way, honey, how's your store going?"

Nie Weiwei's store has just been renovated and cannot be opened for business for the time being. At least the house needs to be ventilated.

Another thing is to get rid of the moisture. There is no other way, this is the case when a house is just renovated.

Fortunately, they just repainted the house, installed the ceiling and laid tiles. If the entire thing had to be redone, it would probably take at least ten days or half a month to move in.

Now it’s just a small installation, and Li Le asked Nie Weiwei to buy two large oscillating fans, which are blown in the store 24 hours a day.

I guess there won't be any problem in two days at most.

"The shelves are already being installed. As for the cigarette cabinet and counter, they will be delivered tomorrow."

"It's laid out on the shelves now? Does that mean the room is completely dry?" Li Le asked.

"It's almost there! The renovation master said there is no problem anymore." Nie Weiwei said.

Li Le touched his chin and said, "Since the decorator said there is no problem, then there should be no problem."

"Yeah! I thought so too, but to be on the safe side, I'll let the shelf maker install the shelves first, as well as the counters and so on. This will take at least another two days."

"That's right." Li Le nodded.

This means that Nie Weiwei's shop will be open for business in a few days.

It’s not like you can just start business once the shelves are ready, you also need to put the goods on them!
Li Le asked Nie Weiwei to do high-end products, contact the tea farm directly, and import the most expensive tea.

Let me put it this way! The tea sold in the store is not less than 5,000 yuan per catty, and the expensive ones are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands per catty.

Of course, this is just the selling price. As for the purchase price, it is a trade secret.

The wine has also been received and can be delivered to the store at any time. Similarly, they are all good wines. If you want to say the cheapest one, it is probably Jiannanchun.

To be honest, I didn’t want to buy Jiannanchun Li Le at first because the price is relatively low. But no matter how low it is, it is still a famous wine!
Don’t think that there are only a few types of wine. In fact, there are many. The store has more than fifty types of wine.

Then there are cigarettes. Because we have a special tobacco monopoly license, the store doesn’t stock cheap cigarettes. The cheapest ones are soft Zhonghua cigarettes.

There are not many varieties of cigarettes, a total of eighty-seven, and thirteen of them cost more than ten thousand yuan a pack.

They are Chinese dragons that cost 500,000 each.

The golden leaf, the leaf of power, costs 260,000 each.

A black and white panda for 120,000 yuan.

The Yellow Crane Tower and the Big Gold Brick, which cost 30,000 yuan each.

Liqun Fuchun Villa at 20,000 yuan per piece.

One hundred and fourteen thousand for the world's most respected.

A Taishan Foguang tin can costs more than 15,000 yuan.

The ones priced at RMB 50 each include Guiyan·National Liquor Fragrance , Yellow Crane Tower·Chinese Dream, Yunyan·Da Chongjiu, Golden Leaf·Heavenly Leaf, Jinsheng·Zhisheng Chushan, and Yellow Crane Tower·Golden Years.

There are forty-three types with less than ten thousand and more than one thousand.

There are thirty-one types of cigarettes priced below one thousand, and among these thirty-one types, Soft Zhonghua is the cheapest.

It can be said that many cigarettes are rarely seen on the market, but after a few days of opening, they can be seen everywhere in Nie Weiwei’s store.

And these cigarettes have been delivered, of course, by the Tobacco Bureau. Since the tobacco license has been obtained, you can order cigarettes at any time.

From now on, I will need cigarettes once a week, but because it is a special tobacco monopoly license, there is no limit on the quantity.

"Honey, when will your antique shop open?" Nie Weiwei asked.

"Just these two days!"

Li Le's place is different from Nie Weiwei's. Nie Weiwei's shop is a new shop, but this antique shop is not, because it was an antique shop before.

"So fast?" Nie Weiwei asked in surprise.

"Yes! This is an old store, it just reopened."

"That's it!"

The two chatted for a while, Nie Weiwei went to cook, and Li Le came to the east wing.

He wants to pick out some antiques and have them delivered to the store tomorrow. If he starts picking them tomorrow morning, it will probably be a bit late by the time he finishes his selection.

It’s better to pick them out first and put them in the car so that you can go there directly tomorrow morning.

It took Li Le more than half an hour to pick out a total of 60 antiques, including 6 rare items and 54 fine pieces.

There are also six calligraphy and paintings, all of which are from famous artists, and they are all ancient paintings.

After Li Le had packed all these things, Nie Weiwei had just finished preparing the meal.

The two began to eat.

Because they had things to do tomorrow, they went back to the bedroom to rest after dinner.

Silent all night.

Li Le got up early in the morning. When he got up, Nie Weiwei had already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, the two drove out separately, Li Le went to Panjiayuan and Nie Weiwei went to Qianmen.

More than forty minutes later, Li Le arrived at Panjiayuan. Because he arrived early, it was not yet opening time.

I told the security guard and drove the car straight in. There was no other way; it was impossible to move so many things in!

When Li Le arrived at the store, Manager Hu and two assistants had already arrived.

We agreed yesterday to come over early today as the store needs to stock up on goods.

With the help of Manager Hu and two assistants, the antiques were quickly moved in, and then Li Le drove the car out.

If you wait until the market opens and then want to drive out, it will be troublesome. You should know that the market does not only sell goods in stores, but also has many stalls outside. This is also allowed by the market.

When Li Le parked the car and came back, Manager Hu was arranging antiques with two of his assistants.

In less than an hour, all sixty antiques were displayed. Six of them were placed on the innermost display shelf. These six treasures were the treasures.

The remaining fifty or so pieces were placed on four other display cabinets.

As for the six calligraphy and paintings, they were also hung on the wall.

Now all that’s left is the pricing, and this needs to be done by Li Lezhong.

Li Le is no longer a newbie. Having sold so many antiques and calligraphy and paintings, Li Le now has his own standards for the prices of antiques.

Because it is clearly marked, the price is of course marked high.

You can bargain, but there is a reserve price. If the price is lower than the reserve price, you cannot sell it.

"Let's go and have some tea." Li Le clapped his hands and said.

"Good boss."

The four people came to the teahouse. Li Le sat in the main seat, while Manager Hu and two waiters sat opposite him.

It’s no wonder that Li Le made the right choice when he picked these four official hat chairs. Look, they are just big enough for the four of them to sit on.

Of course, this is only the case now. It will not be the case after the opening.

In the main seat, if Li Le is there, that is where he will sit because he has to receive customers.

If he is not there, Manager Hu will take the main seat.

As for the two waiters, they can sit down and drink some tea unless there is no one in the store. They are not allowed to sit here when there are people.

The tea used in the store was brought by Li Le from home, so Li Le's family will never be short of tea in the future.

"Good tea." Shopkeeper Hu said after taking a sip.

The two waiters also drank it, but they looked at Manager Hu with confusion, not understanding what was so good about this tea.

They obviously don't understand tea. Well, they are too young and seldom drink tea, so of course they don't know whether tea is good or bad.

"If you like, I'll bring you some later." Li Le poured another glass for Shopkeeper Hu and said.

"No, no, this tea is too expensive, I can't afford it." Shopkeeper Hu shook his head and said.

Although Manager Hu's salary is not low, and now that he works with Li Le, his salary has increased a lot, he still can't bear to drink this tea.

Yes, not only Manager Hu, but also the two shop assistants were given a salary increase by Li Le, and it was a 50% increase on top of their original salary.

The reason why Li Le gives such a high salary is mainly because he can make more money here.

Others who do antique business need capital, but he does not, because the antiques he sells are all brought back from the past.

It would not be correct to say that he had no capital at all, because in the world he traveled through, he also bought these antiques with his own money.

It’s just that the money was earned by traveling through the world, and he didn’t spend a penny in the real world.

In this case, it means that he makes a profit for every unit sold. Since he makes money, of course he has to pay his employees more wages.

Others dare not do the same as him because they need to control costs. It costs money to collect antiques and then sell them, so how much profit can they make?

"It's free, just some tea." Li Le said indifferently.

"Boss, this won't do. You bought this tea with money, I can't take it." Shopkeeper Hu shook his head and said.

"It's okay. My wife is in the tea business, and we don't lack tea at all."

"Ah! Is the boss lady specializing in tea business?" Shopkeeper Hu asked in surprise.

Li Le shook his head and said, "She doesn't specialize in this. She opened a famous cigarette, liquor and tea shop in Qianmen."

Hearing what Li Le said, Shopkeeper Hu nodded and said, "So that's how it is! That's great."

"It's very good." Li Le put down the teapot, took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Shopkeeper Hu.

Then he took one himself.

Shopkeeper Hu was tactful and quickly ordered it for Li Le.

"Boss, is this the new Zhonghua cigarette?" Looking at the cigarette that Li Le threw on the sea of ​​tea, Manager Hu asked.

"No, this cigarette is called Zhonghua Shenlong, which is completely different from Zhonghua."

"Is that so?" Shopkeeper Hu nodded and asked, "Then these cigarettes are not cheap, right?"

Li Le is rich! Shopkeeper Hu knows this very well. He drives a Brabus worth more than 10 million yuan.

Moreover, I spent 200 million to buy this shop, and now so many antiques have been sent here.

It is conceivable that Li Leduo is very rich.

"Not bad, fifty thousand a pack."

"What...what is this? This...this cigarette costs 50,000 yuan a pack?" Shopkeeper Hu asked stutteringly.

He was shocked by the price. This pack of cigarettes cost more than his monthly salary.

Although Li Le has increased his salary now, it is only 30,000 yuan a month. If it were before, he would only earn 20,000 yuan a month.

He knew that Li Le was rich, but he didn't expect him to be so rich. A pack of cigarettes cost 50,000 yuan. That's how much he would spend on cigarettes in a month.

If we calculate it as one pack a day, smoking alone would cost one and a half million this month.

What a concept! Many people may not earn this much money in their entire life, and this is just Li Le’s cigarette money for one month.

This left Shopkeeper Hu at a loss for words.

The most shocked person was not the shopkeeper Hu, but the waiters. Their monthly salary was less than the price of two cigarettes for the boss.

They used to work as shop assistants in the store, earning only 3,000 yuan a month, but now their salary has increased by 50% and they earn 4,500 yuan a month.

To be honest, this salary is not low. At least among the waiters in Panjiayuan, their salary is the highest.

Because here in Panjiayuan, the salary for working as a waiter in a store is basically three thousand.

Don’t think it’s too little, because you should know that this is with food and accommodation included.

Many people earn high salaries, but after paying for food and lodging, how much is left in a month?

"Boss, these cigarettes are so expensive?" said a waiter.

The two of them didn't smoke, so Li Le didn't give them any just now. Now seeing their expressions, Li Le picked up the cigarettes and gave them one.

You can just play with it if you don't smoke it.

"thank you boss."

"You're welcome. Work hard in the store and I'll give you a raise and bonus."

"Boss, rest assured, we will do our best."

"Well! Although you are not old, you are not young either. You will have to find a girlfriend in two years. Don't spend your money carelessly."

"I know, boss!"

"Yeah!" Li Le nodded.

Both guys came to the capital from other places to work. They were both from rural areas and left home because they failed to get into university.

"Actually, I am just like you. I come from the countryside. It's not easy for my parents to save money for us to marry wives. So when you make money, you should send it to your parents to help them relieve some of the pressure."

"I understand, boss. But, boss, are you really from the countryside?" The two guys were obviously a little unconvinced.

"Of course, my hometown is in a rural area of ​​a county in Dayu Province."

PS: Love is always there no matter how far we are apart. Can you give me a monthly ticket? Thank you!
