Chapter Twelve: Believe Me
"That's it." Shi Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "So cousin, don't worry!"
"How could I not worry?" After hearing Shi Yi's words, Li Huizhu's first reaction was to get up and close the store. Looking at Shi Yi's indifferent expression, Li Huizhu smiled bitterly: "You are too brave, do you dare to take the mayor's money?"
"Why don't you dare?" Shi Yi curled his lips disdainfully: "That guy is not a good guy anyway. Even if he loses this money, he doesn't dare to make it public. So many days have passed, isn't there any news?"
"You..." Li Huizhu took a deep breath: "Since things are already like this, it's useless to worry."
Speaking of this, Li Huizhu's expression turned up and looked at Shi Yi seriously: "Are you all said before true?"
"Of course!" Shi Yi nodded: "But cousin, although the store is left to you to take care of, you have to listen to me in some general directions!"
"The money is all yours, can I object?" Li Huizhu rolled her eyes at Shi Yi, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, from now on, my cousin will work for you!"
"Cousin, don't forget that there are 20% of your shares in the store!" Shi Yi stood up with a smile and stretched out his right hand towards Li Huizhu: "From now on, cousin, you will be on my pirate ship!"
In the afternoon, while his parents were going to work, Shi Yi took out 1.02 million yuan from the password box and drafted an agreement. Then he hurried to Li Huizhu's store. Seeing that Shi Yi was coming, Li Huizhu closed the store without saying anything, and then the two left the commercial street and came to a new coffee shop nearby.
"Cousin, this is the 20,000 yuan you bought in your store." Shi Yi, who had never been in contact with business in his previous life, seemed a little excited, especially when he understood the huge profits in the cosmetics industry, he couldn't help it. As soon as he entered the coffee shop, he couldn't wait to take out two stacks of money from the schoolbag he brought with him and put it in front of Li Huizhu.
"You should just put away this money." Seeing Shi Yi's actions, Li Huizhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and pushed the money back in front of Shi Yi, and said, "I account for 20% of the store that invested one million yuan, which is 200,000 yuan. Do you think you still need the 200,000 yuan?"
"But..." Shi Yi was about to speak, and Li Huizhu was already smiling and shook her head: "Ayi, although this money is easy to come by, I hope you don't take the money seriously. My brothers have to settle the score clearly. I'm taking 20% of the shareholdings. If you accept the 20,000 yuan, where do you want me, the cousin, to be in?!"
"Uh, I understand." Shi Yi smiled bitterly and took the money back, took out the agreement he had temporarily drafted from his schoolbag, and handed it to Li Huizhu: "Cousin, this is the agreement I drafted. Take a look. If there is no problem, we will hurry up and sign it. After all, every minute and a second is money!"
"Yes." Li Huizhu couldn't understand the last sentence Shi Yi said, but she still had to read the agreement. She nodded and took it over and looked carefully...
"Hmm?!" There was nothing wrong with the previous regulations, but when Li Huizhu's eyes fell on the last part of the agreement, she unconsciously nodded, and her face changed slightly: "Ayi, what's going on with Li Weibo?"
"It's very simple. My cousin is also one of the shareholders of the store." Shi Yi said with a smile.
"But..." After getting Shi Yi's confirmation, Li Huizhu was suddenly a little unhappy. Li Huizhu had no favoritism for her cousin.
"Cousin, don't worry." He interrupted Li Huizhu's words with a wave of his hand, and Shi Yi smiled and said, "My cousin is only a dry shareholding and cannot interfere with all the operations of the store. In other words, he only has the right to dividends, but no management rights."
"Then why do you give him the shares? And it's 20%!" Li Huizhu felt a little relieved, but still blamed: "You have to know that this 20% is 200,000 yuan!"
"Cousin." Seeing Li Huizhu still worried about this issue, Shi Yi said with a wry smile: "Of course I have my ideas for doing this. My cousin just named me in the store. I have other things to leave to him."
"You promise he won't come to the store to point fingers?" Li Huizhu looked at Shi Yi with bright eyes.
"I promise!" Shi Yi nodded affirmatively, which made Li Huizhu feel relieved. After confirming the agreement again, he signed the name readily.
Looking at Li Huizhu's signature, Shi Yi smiled: "Cousin, since the agreement has been signed, should we discuss the store's issues?"
"Didn't you say I'll do it?" Li Huizhu was stunned. In her thoughts, Shi Yi was just lucky. She got the two million for nothing and had no experience in opening a store. Li Huizhu is a person with clear public and private affairs. Shi Yi was very moved by her at this time, but Li Huizhu had long had her own ideas about the store!
"I mean that you will leave your daily management and small direction issues to deal with." Shi Yi smiled and corrected: "But I still have the final say in the general direction of the store development!"
"...Then tell me." Li Huizhu immediately smiled bitterly: "Who told you to be the big boss!"
"Okay, I'll talk about my thoughts." Shi Yi was not pretentious, picked up the cup and sipped his coffee, felt the bitter taste from the root of his tongue, and smacked his lips and said, "This time, I invested a total of one million yuan, of which 50,000 yuan was spent to buy a store in the central section of the commercial street. It should be fine, right?"
"No problem." Li Huizhu nodded. Although the store rents in commercial streets in this era are relatively expensive, the annual rent of a store in the central section, that is, on the golden section, does not exceed 50,000 yuan.
"Okay." Shi Yi touched his chin and continued: "Then the remaining 950,000 will take out 300,000 to renovate the store, 150,000 will advertise the store, and the remaining 500,000 will leave 200,000 as working capital, and 300,000 will be used to purchase goods!"
"Ah?!" Seeing Shi Yi dividing the millions in just a few words, Li Huizhu felt stunned and almost jumped up from the sofa: "You said you would use 300,000 yuan to decorate the store?!!!"
Li Huizhu can understand when advertising, but it is no less than a fantasy to her for decorating a store with 300,000 yuan! Just kidding, in her idea, decorating a store is just to make the store look more comfortable, and it can be done with a few thousand dollars!
"This matter is settled, there is no room for negotiation!" Looking at Li Huizhu's expression of being open to speak, Shi Yi immediately waved his hand to interrupt her, and put on a slanderous attitude: "You must listen to me in this matter!"
"I..." Li Huizhu was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"There is another point." After thinking about it, Shi Yi continued: "It is best to set the lease term of the store for more than ten years. The lease contract can also state that the rent price can be delivered according to the current price, but one thing must be clear. Without the premise of expressing that we do not rent, the landlord cannot rent or sell the store without expressing that we do not rent it!"
"I can understand all of these." Li Huizhu opened her mouth. Although she was very dissatisfied with Shi Yi's use of 300,000 yuan to decorate the store, Shi Yi was a major shareholder after all, and the money was his own. Li Huizhu couldn't say anything, but she was also quite dissatisfied with the budget for advertising: "It's okay to decorate, isn't this 150,000 yuan for advertising, isn't it a bit..."
"Absolutely great value for money!" Shi Yi laughed. In his memory, people in the 1990s had extremely low immunity to advertising. The greater the advertising, the better the benefits. The consumers in this era are not as rational as consumers in the 20th century!
"Okay, since you have decided, let's discuss something with me." Li Huizhu felt a little deceived and looked helpless.
"Don't you have to do all these things, cousin?" Shi Yi finally revealed his fox tail...
In the afternoon of the same day, Shi Yi and Li Huizhu discussed all the policies and strategies in the early stage of the store opening. Shi Yi put forward the last three points to Li Huizhu: "First, all the 300,000 decoration money must be spent. If it is not spent, how much is left, the amount will be deducted from Li Huizhu's dividend. Second, the brochures and TV advertisements during advertising must be clearly stated in Anhua Cosmetics Store's advertising slogan: There are no ugly women, only lazy women! Third, Li Huizhu has to use the shortest time, that is, before the store opens, to find some young and beautiful salesmen and at least three senior beauticians!"
After hearing all Shi Yi's request, Li Huizhu blinked: "Where are the expenses of these salesmen and beauticians?"
