Zheng Chengdao was stunned!
Soon, a brilliant light, unprecedented, burst forth from the depths of his bloodshot eyes, like two lanterns that were too bright to look at directly.
"Brother Qin Chuan, are you serious?"
His voice became sharp with excitement, showing how greatly his emotions were fluctuating at this moment.
"Of course!"
Qin Chuan smiled, crossed his hands, and leaned back on the sofa. "I am simply carrying out my boss's orders!"
Zheng Chengdao shifted his gaze to Li Ya. After receiving a confirmation, he immediately nodded.
"Alright, I agree!"
Zheng Chengdao made his decision quickly and decisively, as if afraid that Qin Chuan and Li Ya might go back on their word.
As Li Ya had said before, the roller skating rink was too large. Very few people in the entire Yongnan County could afford to lease the entire place. This resulted in the rink being listed for over half a month without being leased.
Even the number of inquiries was very small.
The high annual rent deterred many people.
For ordinary businesses, even working tirelessly all year round might not yield enough to cover the rent, let alone profit.
Now, Qin Chuan wanted to lease the entire two-story building. This was simply a windfall, and Zheng Chengdao was ecstatic.
"Brother Dao, don't get too happy too soon. We have a few requirements of our own!"
However, as Zheng Chengdao was getting excited, Qin Chuan appropriately poured a little cold water on him, urging him to calm down.
"Tell me, I'm listening!"
Qin Chuan said slowly, "To be honest, the reason we want to lease your roller skating rink is to open a flagship store. As you know, leasing such a large venue involves a very significant investment."
"Therefore, we cannot pay the full five years of rent upfront!"
Zheng Chengdao asked nervously, "Then how do you plan to pay?"
Qin Chuan pondered for a moment and looked at Li Ya.
Li Ya received the signal and, after a slight hesitation, said, "Originally, according to our plan, we were going to pay annually. But considering that you are in dire need of money right now, we are prepared to pay you two years' rent upfront!"
"After two years, we will pay the remaining three years' rent!"
"No problem, we'll do as you say!"
Zheng Chengdao was very excited. This payment method had already far exceeded his expectations. Moreover, two years' rent upfront, a total of thirty-six thousand yuan, was enough for him to resolve his difficulties.
"Alright, I'll call someone to send the contract right away."
Li Ya was more decisive and efficient. She immediately took out her phone and called the factory.
"Lawyer Song, please prepare a lease agreement. The payment method will be..."
About half an hour later, a motorcycle stopped outside the Da Shijie Roller Skating Rink. Song Chaoyang, wearing glasses and looking refined, walked in.
In less than fifteen minutes, both parties had signed the contract. Zheng Chengdao tightly clutched the thirty-six thousand yuan in the plastic bag, his expression extremely elated.
"Brother Dao, we'll be leaving then!"
"In two days, we'll bring people to start renovations. Please clear out the space as soon as possible!"
Qin Chuan said before leaving.
"Certainly! Certainly!"
"Don't worry, I'll have people clean it up this afternoon. I guarantee you'll have a spotless venue!"
As they walked out of the Da Shijie Roller Skating Rink, Qin Chuan and Li Ya exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of unconcealed excitement in each other's eyes.
Now that the venue for the flagship store was secured, and the factory was working overtime to rush out new clothing designs, they could start selling as soon as the renovation was complete!
It could be said that everything was ready except for the crucial moment!
"Let's go, I'll treat everyone to a meal!"
Li Ya was in a great mood. With a wave of her hand, she led everyone to a restaurant.
As the dinner neared its end, Qin Chuan said, "Sister, this afternoon I'll take my brother to the hardware market to look around and pre-order the renovation materials."
"Okay, you're in charge of everything!"
Li Ya nodded, then took out a thick wad of cash from her bag and handed it to Qin Chuan. "Here's ten thousand yuan. If it's not enough, just ask me for more!"
"Ten thousand yuan for renovation?"
Seeing Li Ya hand over ten thousand yuan for renovation expenses, Qin Gang, Chun Tao, and even Song Chaoyang were surprised.
Qin Chuan noticed their expressions and grinned. "Don't be surprised. I'm afraid ten thousand yuan might not even be enough!"
"We might need these two stacks of money!"
"Twenty thousand yuan?!"
Everyone gasped, their eyes wide.
"Third brother, what are you doing? Are you planning to inlay diamonds on all the walls?"
Qin Gang asked in astonishment.
"Inlaying diamonds is out of the question, but a high-end and impressive look is a must!"
"I think many materials cannot be found in our small county. I might have to go to the city or even the provincial capital."
Qin Chuan explained patiently.
The others didn't quite understand but felt that Qin Chuan's actions were becoming increasingly inscrutable. Spending twenty thousand yuan on renovations was simply astonishing...
After dinner, Qin Chuan drove Li Ya and Chun Tao back to the factory. As for Song Chaoyang, he had his own motorcycle. He took Qin Gang to the hardware market.
First, they found Feng Jun, who sold tiles. They were considered acquaintances.
Since this was business, one had to have extensive connections among all walks of life.
Qin Chuan didn't feel that his identity as a reborn person made him superior to others. On the contrary, if he wanted to get rich, he couldn't do without these people from all walks of life.
Whether it was selling tiles, glass, bricks, cement, sand, paint, or carpentry, any of these individuals could inadvertently create considerable wealth.
At the same time, they would make things more convenient, provide much more information, and help avoid detours. This was the benefit of having broad connections.
Qin Chuan did not hide his intentions and directly stated his purpose. He wanted to purchase a batch of tiles.
The specifications were 1000*1000, and there were also requirements for the color. Not pure white, but Maya Gray, preferably with some patterns.
This would be more resistant to dirt, making it very suitable for home or shop use.
"Brother Qin Chuan, you're making things difficult for me. The largest tiles in our store are only 800*800, and what is Maya Gray..."
Feng Jun said with a wry smile.
Qin Chuan was stunned, and then he also smiled. In this era, there was no such thing as Maya Gray, Fuchunlan, and other varieties. There were only those few simple colors.
If he wanted to find different tiles, he would probably have to travel to a big city. Moreover, he also needed to custom-order a batch of professional wardrobes, glass, lighting fixtures, and other items.
The small county probably couldn't provide them. Even if the materials were available, there would be no one to make them. To make a splash, he needed something that would catch people's eyes.
"It seems I really need to make a trip to a big city. Perhaps I should just go directly to the provincial capital!"
Qin Chuan murmured to himself. Since his rebirth, he had stayed only in the small county and had not gone anywhere else.
Why not take this opportunity to travel around? Perhaps he could find some opportunities to get rich.
Yongnan County was still too small, with many inconveniences. If he wanted to grow and strengthen in the future, he would definitely need to develop in a big city. This could be considered familiarizing himself with it in advance.
