Rebirth in the 90s: Pack up and prepare for demolition

"Do you like this one? This one is a bit small. Why don't you want the front one?" Lin Shuwan was a little surprised.

She had always emphasized introducing the popular shops in front to Ye Ke, but she didn't expect Ye Ke to choose this one. She was a little confused for a moment.

"I think this one is perfect. It's small enough to gather energy and wealth. I'll decorate the second floor later and it will be about the same size as the main store."

"Okay." Ye Ke had already made up his mind, and Lin Shuwan couldn't stop him. She pulled Ye Ke toward the street and said, "I'm going to the sales office up ahead to call my dad and ask."

She had only asked about the price of a popular shop before, and this small shop was not in her plan.

Ye Ke added as he walked, "Can you please ask about the wall on this side of the alley? Is it load-bearing? Can half of it be demolished? I want to replace it with glass when the time comes."

Lin Shuwan pondered for a moment and felt that she had underestimated Ye Ke. "Your idea is great! It's sure to attract people!"

Ye Ke was very proud. He lifted his hair and tossed it back confidently. "Of course, I designed the decoration of the dessert shop. I also bought all the decorative tableware inside one by one!"

"Really?!" Lin Shuwan exclaimed in surprise, "I was attracted to this place because of the decoration!"

"Are you still responsible for the branch renovation?"

As they were talking, they arrived at the sales office. Lin Shuwan let go of Ye Ke's hand and said, "Let's talk about it later. I'll go ask the price first."

Ye Ke did not follow him in. She stood outside looking at the commercial street, her heart filled with excitement.

This is the street! Buy it and you'll win!

When Ye Ke first followed Lin Shuwan in, he had no idea that this was the famous C Food Street.

Ye Ke studied at a normal school in his previous life, so he wasn't very familiar with the C University Food Street area. He had only visited there a few times with Xiang Qingyao out of admiration.

In addition, the current appearance of the commercial street is too different from the food streets she has seen.

In Ye Ke's previous life, the food street he visited had that alley as its main thoroughfare. Perhaps because Lin Shuwan's father had never found a business partner, the alley was not used to build small shops, but was directly rented out to merchants to set up carts.

Food is often the most popular attraction, and the humble alleys actually developed before the commercial streets. This subsequently boosted the commercial streets' economy, with numerous clothing brands exiting and food vendors moving in, transforming the area into one of Ancheng's renowned food streets.

Ye Ke was immersed in the joy of finding a bargain when Lin Shuwan brought her even more exciting news, "This shop is originally priced at 50 yuan, but I'll give you a % discount if I sell it to you!"

"Such a high discount?" Ye Ke couldn't believe it.

Lin Shuwan explained, "Other shops would only give you a 7% discount, but this set is different. These four sets on the corners were reserved by my dad's partner, and now..."

"My dad said as long as I can get my money back, it's fine. These four units are small, so you're helping me if you're willing to buy them."

Just listen to this. No matter how small the area is, it's still a shop. How can it not be sold? I'm just doing her a favor.

but......

Ye Ke pushed the issue further, pointing to another shop across the alleyway and asking, "Is this one also okay?"

Be brave enough to speak up first, and then talk about it after being rejected!

After hearing this, Lin Shuwan waved her hands and refused, "Just buy one set!"

She was worried that Ye Ke believed the offer of help and wanted to buy two sets. "One set is a big help! Instead of buying two sets of this kind of shop, you might as well use the money to buy a bigger one!"

Seeing that Lin Shuwan actually thought so highly of her, Ye Ke explained, "Don't worry, I'm not such a kind person."

"I'm just asking on behalf of my aunt's fruit shop. If possible, I'd like her to open a branch here."

Oh, so that’s the case. Lin Shuwan felt much more relieved now.

"That's fine! If you find someone, you can take all four rooms!"

Ye Ke wanted to, but she didn't have the money. "No, there's no one else doing business in my family!"

"Can the wall be demolished?"

Lin Shuwan replied: "Sure! Just change it without worry!"

In this way, this corner location will definitely have good business. "Okay, I'll discuss it with my mom when I get home, but I don't think it's a big problem!"

Putting aside the prospects of this location, it's not a loss to get it at this price! Ye Ke has made up her mind. If Ye Wenhui doesn't want to, she will buy it herself.

Once the food street is built, will you still worry about not being able to rent it out?

Thinking of the food court, Ye Ke had another idea in his mind, "Is your father still looking for partners? I know someone who does construction projects, do you think he can do it?"

Ye Ke didn't have a company or the qualifications to do it, but Wei Qi'an could! She wanted to see if she could invest some money and get a share if she acted as a matchmaker.

Although this area was bustling in the past, everyone's biggest regret was that it was too chaotic. There was no specialized store management, and all sorts of things were sold on small carts.

If the stalls can be built in a unified manner this time, it will be much more standardized.

"The contractor? Not the developer? Then does he have the qualifications?" Lin Shuwan wondered.

"Yes!" Ye Ke promised solemnly.

She did not rely on personal connections to make connections. During the days when she was shopping with Wei Qianan, she curiously asked Wei Qianan how many side jobs he had.

After introducing himself to her, Wei Qi'an explained that his current focus was on the hotel. He also wasn't planning on contracting projects anymore; he was transitioning to becoming a developer, determined to grab the biggest piece of meat.

But being a developer isn't easy. Funds, connections, and resources are all essential. Ye Ke thought, isn't this the opportunity?

Even with Ye Ke's assurance, Lin Shuwan didn't give in. "I can't make the decision on company matters yet. I need my dad's approval. But I can arrange a meeting with him for you."

That's for sure! Thinking about it, it's impossible to settle this with just a few words. Ye Ke smiled happily, "No problem. When is Uncle Lin free? I'll invite my friend!"

Lin Shuwan thought for a moment and said, "How about tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock? I'll ask my dad to take me back to school early, and we can meet and talk by the way."

"Row!"

After separating from Lin Shuwan, Ye Ke didn't have time to go home to inform Ye Wenhui, and went straight to find Wei Qian'an.

"Is your boss here?" Ye Ke wanted to meet with Wei Qian, and thought the chances of finding him at the hotel were the greatest, so he came directly over.

The receptionist was a little confused by her sudden question. After looking carefully, she found that the person looked strangely familiar.

The receptionist hesitated and said, "Excuse me, are you Miss Ye?!"

During the days when Ye Ke was helping the hotel renovate the rooms, he went in and out with Wei Qian'an, coming and going together. They had dealt with each other before, so naturally they had an impression of each other.

Ye Ke nodded in response, "Yes, is your boss in the hotel?"

"Yes, please wait a moment, I'll contact the boss." The receptionist quickly picked up the phone and dialed the number.

"Mr. Wei, Miss Ye, the hotel design consultant, is here to see you. She's at the front desk now."

Ye Ke was confused when he heard this.

Huh? What? Design consultant? Me?
