I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 145 Jiulongju Commercial Street
After looking around, I went back and sat down opposite Ye Zhi, and then said to her: "It seems that this bar has not disappointed you, are you planning to take over?"

Ye Zhi replied straightforwardly: "No problem, you can give me the contract."

I took out the contract I had drawn up from my bag and handed it to Ye Zhi. After reading it, she signed her name on the contract. When returning it to me, she said, "Give me a contract now." account, I can transfer the money to your account tomorrow."

"Let's go according to the procedure. After Bai Lu signs, it won't be too late for you to give it to me."

"I trust you."

Now that Ye Zhi had already said that, and I wasn't hypocritical, I gave her an account, and after she wrote it down, I asked her again: "How are you going to run this bar in the future?"

"Maybe someone will come over and take care of it for me...or maybe it will be closed for a while."

"I really hope you take this bar, not because of the guilt in your heart, but because you are really interested in this small business."

Ye Zhi replied casually: "I don't think you need to speculate too much on my thoughts on this matter."

"I just want to be more at ease when holding the money..."

"Then let me tell you very clearly, you can hold it steadily... because this bar is useful to me, but there is no way to show it yet."

I didn't speak, Ye Zhi was silent for a while, then changed the subject and said to me: "You have something to ask me... You can talk while you have time."

I rubbed my temples habitually, and then said to her: "After the inn is demolished, I will definitely have to find something else to do, but I don't have a clue now, so I want to ask you, where should I start?" It would be better to start."

Ye Zhi hardly thought about it, so she said to me: "If you haven't figured out what to do yet, you might as well use this blank time to build your own connections here. When you have enough connections, you You will find that your field of vision will become wider and wider, and it will not be a problem as to what to do in the future.”

"How do you build this relationship?"

"Learn to analyze the people around you."

"Can you be more specific?"

Ye Zhi said to me patiently: "I think you can get in touch with Sun Jiwei more...he is a person who can help you, and it is easy for you to establish a friendship because he is grateful to you... ..."

I curled my lips and shook my head again: "To be honest, I don't like his utilitarianism very much. He has a strong sense of purpose in both people and things."

Ye Zhi smiled and replied: "If you think this is your principle and cannot be changed, you can go back to Shanghai, find a job, and be an office worker honestly... because most of the people in the circle are It is impossible for such people to change for you, and the result can only be that you are eliminated by this circle."

"You must be joking with me. I have come this far, how can I go back to Shanghai."

"Then you learn to adapt to this circle... Think more about your skills when getting along with these people."

I looked at her, and with some doubts, I said to her: "I have always thought that you are a very noble person... When you face this circle, do you also let go of some things in your heart, and then do How about a compromise?"

"I'm very lucky. My parents have already laid a good foundation for me, so I don't need to compromise with others; what's more, others are compromising to me."

I looked at her and said, "Yes, I think you have a very strong side in your bones!"

Ye Zhi didn't respond to my exclamation, and she said: "For many people, starting a business is a history of blood and tears... If you really want to start a business of your own, you should learn to change your personality first. ; I think that only when you have made sufficient preparations in your heart and started a real business, you will not feel like you can’t let go.”

"You really hit the point...I've always felt that I couldn't let go of my hands and feet. I was very uncomfortable, but I didn't know where the problem was!"

"Do you know now?"

I nodded and replied, "I think it's because my heart is not open enough."

Ye Zhi smiled and didn't say anything more, and although I felt suddenly enlightened, I was still caught in a dilemma, because there are some things in my heart, even if you know it is wrong, it is very difficult to change it if you really want to change it. Difficulties!
……

After sitting in the bar for a while, Ye Zhi and I walked around the ancient city again. When passing by a milk tea shop opened by a foreigner, I stopped and said to him: "I have been hearing from people in Dali in the circle of friends that this milk tea shop The milk tea here is delicious, do you want to try it?"

"If you treat me, I'd love to try it."

"It's just a little money for milk tea, how can I still be stingy with you?"

While I was talking, I asked the boss for two cups of their signature milk tea in English. While waiting, I found a very strange phenomenon. The street we are in is very busy, but there is only one alley away. The other commercial street in the street was dark and empty, and there was no one there.

With such doubts, I asked the helper brother in the milk tea shop: "Brother, is that alley a commercial street?"

"Yeah, isn't it written on the sign...Jiulongju, Commercial Pedestrian Street."

I looked up, and there was indeed a large signboard carved in stone, so I was even more puzzled, and asked again: "Why is there no one in this commercial street? Is it just built, and there is no foreign investment yet?"

"It was built in 14..." At this point, the little brother lowered his voice and said to me: "This commercial street is a bit evil. I heard that it is because of bad feng shui, and most people can't control the evil inside... Let me tell you, many big brands have gone in and opened stores before, but none of them can make money, and they all went bankrupt... You can see for yourself, our street is crowded with people, it is just like us There is an alley, but no one is willing to go in... You say this is not an evil door, what is it?"

Of course I didn't want to believe such absurd words. In the spirit of scientific business, I smiled and asked him, "Is the environment inside bad?"

After the little brother gave me a look of contempt, he replied: "Is this your first time in the ancient city?... Those who are familiar with the ancient city don't know that if the environment of Jiulongju is the second best in the ancient city, then there is nothing wrong with it." People dare to say the first... During the day, you can go in and see for yourself, there are gardens, small bridges and flowing water inside, there is absolutely no other place so comfortable in Dali."

I took another look inside, then touched my chin, and exclaimed, "Oh, that's really crazy!"

"Isn't it... You don't want to do business in it, do you?"

"Just curious...By the way, brother, how is the rent there now?"

"It's cheap, it's much cheaper than our street... Our 100-square-meter shop here doesn't have a rent of 60 to [-] yuan a year, and it's impossible to afford it. It only costs [-] to [-] yuan to rent it..." Speaking of this , the little brother smiled disdainfully, and said: "Even if you can rent it for [-] to [-] yuan, what kind of shit can you do?... After you go in, you can't even take care of yourself, unless the landlord inside is willing to pay the money, otherwise Even fools are not willing to go in and do business!"
