Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

Xiahe rented the shop.

There was a bank near the department store where she deposited her money, and she used the money to rent the shop.

They rented it for twenty years.

After renting it out, he complained to Bai Zhenzhu that he was broke:

"I'm really out of money now; all I have left is a little cash for the goods."

Bai Zhenzhu comforted him, "Don't worry, this shop will make money very quickly once it's set up."

Xia He immediately became excited again:

"Yes, yes, I've rented this shop for twenty years. It needs a proper renovation. Can you give me some advice on how to decorate it?"

The two wandered around the shop and then went to look at other shops.

The shop doesn't have any concept of decoration yet; the clothes are hung in rows, making it look very crowded and messy.

Moreover, at that time, there weren't many individual vendors in the department store, and Xia He was able to rent this shop thanks in no small part to her older sister.

Xia He said she would give the other person a wool coat later.

Bai Zhenzhu already had a ready-made template in mind for decorating the clothing store.

It remains a template for high-end clothing stores after the turn of the millennium.

Bai Zhenzhu borrowed paper and pen from someone and began to draw.

She only painted one wall, explaining it to Xia He as she painted:

“We can build display cases for your shop and install them directly inside.”

"Look, hang short clothes here, and long clothes or pants here. These horizontal shelves can hold folded sweaters, T-shirts, shirts, etc., which not only makes effective use of space, but also makes the whole store look rich and layered."

“This can be made into a light box, and wires and light tubes can be added to the back panel. When the light is turned on, the whole wall will be lit up, and the clothes will be more eye-catching.”

Xia He imagined it for a moment, and her eyes lit up:

"My God, Pearl, what an absolute treasure you are!"

"If I actually build it according to your drawing, then my store will definitely be the most awesome store in this department store."

After saying that, he became worried again:

"But who can I ask to make the display cases?"

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"I have people."

The two rode their motorcycles directly to the furniture factory.

Guo Yongliang happened to be at the factory, where two trucks were parked at the gate, hauling furniture.

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"May Mr. Guo's business prosper!"

Guo Yongliang's eyes lit up when he saw her:

"Hey Mr. Bai, what brings you here? Are all the cabinets I made for you working well?"

Bai Zhenzhu: "It works great. My braised meat shop has seen a significant improvement in business since we started using the cooked food display case. It's also much cleaner and more hygienic now."

Guo Yongliang pointed to the large truck at the entrance:

"See that? They're all custom-made cabinets. Mr. Bai, you're truly a great benefactor in my life."

"You've finally come all this way, let's have a meal together later."

Without waiting for Bai Zhenzhu's reaction, he ordered someone to inform the canteen to prepare a table of dishes for him to have a banquet at noon.

It was a grand event.

White Pearl did not refuse:

"Boss Guo, I really should have eaten this meal with you. I'm here to give you money again today."

Then he introduced Xia He:

"This is my sister, Xia He. She runs a clothing business. She rented a shop in a department store and wants you to make a display case for her."

Guo Yongliang quickly shook hands with Xia He:

"Mr. Xia, hello, hello. Come on, let's go to my office to talk."

Upon entering the office, Guo Yongliang personally brewed tea.

Upon seeing Bai Zhenzhu's sketch, Guo Yongliang slapped his thigh in surprise:

"This is so, so interesting!"

Carpenters also have some artistic talent. Guo Yongliang didn't even need Bai Zhenzhu's explanation; just by looking at the labels, the finished display case was already in his mind.

Xia He was secretly delighted to see him like this:

"Mr. Guo, can you make it?"

Guo Yongliang's expression stiffened for a moment, as if he were pondering something, then he nodded emphatically:

"can."

Seeing his expression, Bai Zhenzhu tentatively asked:

"Mr. Guo, is there something wrong with the materials?"

Guo Yongliang gave Bai Zhenzhu a thumbs up:

"Boss Bai, this is you."

"To be honest, the big boss from Hong Kong I mentioned to you before talked to me about this kind of display case, but I didn't take it seriously at the time."

"I thought no one in our small town would be willing to make these kinds of display cases, because the materials are indeed not cheap."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Mr. Guo, there always has to be someone who's the first to try something new."

"As society continues to progress and people's aesthetic standards continue to improve, those wooden signs on the streets may soon be replaced by bright and dazzling light boxes."

"Mr. Guo, I've come here today to discuss a collaboration with you."

Guo Yongliang's expression shifted.

For some reason, he always felt that Bai Zhenzhu was going to bring him good fortune again.

He's been overwhelmed with orders for wine cabinets lately, and the factory workers are working non-stop every day. So, he boldly bought a few machines to cut wood.

"Mr. Bai, what kind of cooperation do you want? Tell me."

White Pearl said:

“I want to start a decoration company with Mr. Guo. This blueprint is my pledge of allegiance.”

Guo Yongliang didn't understand what a "pledge of allegiance" was, but he could get the gist of it.

Both being seasoned businessmen, he quickly understood Bai Zhenzhu's meaning.

Rub your hands together excitedly:

"Mr. Bai, tell me in detail what this renovation company actually does, and whether it's really profitable?"

Bai Zhenzhu took a sip of tea and said with a smile:

"It's definitely going to make money. Otherwise, I wouldn't have approached Mr. Guo to discuss cooperation."

"A decoration company decorates houses and shops for others, and can also make light boxes and billboards for those stores."

"Mr. Guo, as you've seen, a lot of new buildings have been built in the county. In a few years, there will be even more commercial housing. In the past, houses were just painted and floor tiles were laid. These were the most basic renovations, but they still needed people to do them, right?"

"Our renovation company can not only do these basic renovations, but also more advanced renovations, making the house more beautiful, more comfortable, and more functional."

"To elaborate further, we can make exquisite TV cabinets, as well as bookcases, storage cabinets, and even more practical and beautiful wardrobes."

"Most importantly, our renovation company can unify the style of these cabinets and furniture, making them a set. Wouldn't it look more stylish and beautiful when placed in the new home?"

Guo Yongliang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he listened.

Having made furniture for so many years, he never really thought of making all the furniture in a unified style for a family.

The factory produces the same items in batches, and the furniture is then transported to shopping malls where customers can mix and match according to their own preferences.

Decoration company.

His heart raced when he heard the name.

His furniture factory has only been open for two years and is not very large.

Because there were no furniture factories in Yuan County, he was able to start his business. He dreamed of expanding his business and making it bigger.

Xia He, standing to the side, was even more stunned, looking at Bai Zhenzhu with a face full of admiration.

She originally thought that Bai Zhenzhu was just there to help her find a craftsman to make a cabinet.

did not expect!

Her sisters were actually talking to the furniture factory manager about starting a company.
