NOVEL NEXT Chapter 60: Rent a shop
"Oh! It scared me to death. I really thought I was too harsh." Lu Xu sighed. His face turned pale just now. It was hard for their baby brother's legs to react. If he was really allowed to take the photo, Anyway, how can he face his younger brothers and sisters, how can he face his third uncle.
At this moment, Lu Nan rolled his eyes at Lu Xu, "I'm not made of tofu and farts. I can even break it if I slap it."
“Be polite, whatever you say at the dinner table is nothing, let’s eat first.” As soon as Zhou Hui spoke, everyone sat down to eat.
After dinner, when Ning Xi and the others were preparing to go back, Chen Jing came up to Ning Xi and said, "Xiao Xi, I have worked overtime to make more than 3,000 shirts according to your drawings in the past few days. Your elder brother will go to the city to deliver them the day after tomorrow." We will bring the goods with them when they come out. Your elder brother said that we can’t use your samples in vain. As long as the shirts made from your samples are used, you will get a commission.”
"Brother is going to the city the day after tomorrow?" Ning Xi didn't care about the commission, but was more concerned about Lu Xu going to the city.
“Is there anything you want to bring?”
"I'm going to the city to buy two sealing machines. I don't know if it's convenient for my second brother to take people with me in the car." Ning Xi is going to make spicy strips and dried fish into bags, so that they can be shipped more easily, so she can make more. It’s not easy to break, and the bagged ones don’t need to be weighed on the spot, which saves you some trouble.
"Then let's go together. The day after tomorrow at seven o'clock in the morning, it doesn't matter if it's later. Let him wait for you."
“Then I’ll trouble you, brother and sister-in-law.” Ning Xi took the bus to the city and bought a sealing machine but couldn’t bring it back. She happened to go with Lu Xu and could use a truck to drag the sealing machine back.
Chen Jing smiled and waved her hands, "It's all about the family saying it's troublesome or not."
On the way back, Ning Xi proposed to go to the city to buy a sealing machine, and also told them about her plan to pack spicy strips and dried fish into bags. Lu Nan did not raise any objections, and neither Zhang Ying nor Lu He had any objections. It's still the same attitude as before, just let Ning Xi make the decision in everything.
It just so happened that Ning Xi also wanted to take advantage of several opportunities to register a trademark and make her products more formal, so she took Lu Bei to the industrial and commercial department early the next morning.
About this time, the country was encouraging everyone to register trademarks. The registration process was surprisingly smooth. Whether it was filling in the information or completing the procedures, there were people who guided me politely. All the procedures were completed in only twenty minutes.
The brand name Ning Xi registered for their brand is: Ning Meizi.
This name was proposed by Zhang Ying, and everyone in the family raised their hands in agreement.
After coming out of the industrial and commercial department, Ning Xi took Lu Nan to find Zhang Ying. Yesterday, Ning Xi had said that she could close the stall as long as she was busy after the morning period, so there were not many goods brought out today. Most of them were sold out in the morning, and the rest Some Zhang Ying is made and given to other vendors.
Ning Xi and Lu Bei were at the market today. After collecting the stalls, the couple did not leave in a hurry. They stood aside and chatted with everyone.
Early this morning, Aunt Zhou had already helped Ning Xi and the others contact the landlord of the shop. Zhang Ying couldn't make the decision on her own, so she and Aunt Zhou agreed to wait until Ning Xi came over to see the shop together.
At this moment, Ning Xi came over, and Zhang Ying immediately asked Lu He to go to the textile factory to invite Aunt Zhou and the landlord.
The landlord's surname was He, who was in his forties and was a frequent visitor to Ning Xi's house. Old He took them into the shop, "Sister Ning, we are so familiar with each other, so I won't bid you a price. I asked the shops around this morning, and the prices are all the same." It’s 150 yuan a year, and my shop is bigger than other shops, so I can pay this price.”
Ning Xi looked around the shop. The shop was very clean and could be used with a little tidying up. She nodded and said, "Okay, Brother He, let's see when we can sign the contract."
Yesterday, Ning Xi inquired with the surrounding shops. The prices of the shops were between one hundred and fifty to two hundred. A shop like Lao He's would cost at least two hundred. Lao He had indeed made a lot of concessions to her. It would be unkind of her to continue bargaining.
Lao He smiled and said, "Any time."
"Then sign it now." The two wrote an agreement and signed it. Lao He handed the key to Ning Xi, and Ning Xi took out one hundred and fifty from her pocket and handed it to Lao He.
After locking the shop, Ning Xi asked Lu He to measure the size at the door and took them to Linzhen.
She is going to a printing shop to order signs, as well as stickers for bags of spicy strips and dried fish, as well as packaging stickers for canned fruits.
At this time, there were not many printing shops in the entire Sichuan Province. The closest one to them was in Linzhen. It was said that people from the surrounding towns could only come here if they wanted to print things.
After riding for an hour and a half, we finally arrived at Linzhen. After asking around the town, we found the location. It was already noon. The four of us found a place and had a luxurious bowl of seafood noodles before wandering around. Go into a print shop.
There was only one young man in the print shop. Looking at the twenty-five-six-year-old man, he didn’t even raise his head when he saw a few people coming in. He was typing on the keyboard, "What are you doing?"
Ning Xi replied, “Making shop signs and packaging bag stickers.”
“I started making signs here at fifty.” The boss glanced at Ning Xi, his voice was lazy and a bit arrogant.
“Starting at fifty?” Lu Bei shouted, “It’s just as expensive as a sign.”
"With this little money, you can't even buy a single part of my equipment. Do you want to do it? If not, go out and don't disturb my work here."
Ning Xi frowned. This attitude was too bad. If there wasn't only one printing shop nearby, she would have left directly.
“Do it.” Ning Xi took out her notebook and put the sign design and stickers she drew last night on the counter. “Just do what I drew.”
"In this day and age, cats and dogs all know how to design..." The boss frowned before he finished speaking. He suddenly grabbed the drawing and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he frowned, and his face became more and more ugly. After a long time, Then he asked aloud, "Have you studied design?"
"I have read relevant books." Ning Xi has never studied design, let alone read such books. She has only read a lot of advertisements and trademarks, so she knows a lot.
“Would you like to come work for me? I can give you everything I know. The salary is 35 a month, no, 40, no, 50 a month.”
"Our daily income is at least 1,500." Zhang Ying looked at the boss arrogantly, so relieved that they finally got back 10% in front of this boss.
There was a flash of disappointment in the boss's eyes, but he did not feel embarrassed because Zhang Ying got back 10%. He calmly discussed various details and prices with Ning Xi.
After finishing it, he said, "It can be done in three days. I won't go out. You can take the sign back and install it yourself."
If this was done in the future, people would provide installation and installation with a good attitude and also provide after-sales service. However, this is the way it is in this era. Ning Xi had no way to force people to deliver the goods to his door and also provide installation services. "Okay, we will come over by ourselves then." take."
After paying the money and coming out of the print shop, Ning Xi took a few people to go shopping. This was her first time in town and she had to go shopping.
Linzhen is close to the sea. There are fish sellers wherever you go. Even the air has a fishy smell. The price of fish here is very cheap. Ning Xi bought a few pickled cured fish, two grass carps, and Got some crayfish.
Haunted around for a while, got in the car and drove slowly home.
