Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Hardware store on the commercial street

Han Songlin took a gentle sip of the wine in the bowl. Because before, Han Songlin said that he doesn't drink much now, so he poured less, less than one or two. When it comes to wine, Han Songlin is not saying that he has never had good wine!

The wine they drink in a winery, which they blend themselves, is indeed better than the wine sold on the market and very pleasant to drink.

To be honest, you cannot judge the quality of wine just by looking at the price!

Some wines that cost a few hundred yuan a bottle really cannot be compared to the bulk wine sold by others.

There is no unified standard for the quality of wine.

I once had dinner with the owner of a winery and we got on the topic.

The owner said something very interesting, which was that he had pledged two tanks of raw wine as collateral for a bank loan. The quality of the wine in the two tanks, as assessed internally by the winery, was the exact opposite of the quality as assessed by the bank after various tests.

The winery considered the wine to be poor, but the bank thought it was good!

The winery considered the wine to be good, but the bank thought it was poor!

Naturally, the quality of the wine affects its price.

Through this incident, Han Songlin knew that there was no such thing as an absolutely good or bad wine.

As long as the wine is brewed according to the standard process, how can the quality be bad?

Personal preference is what matters most.

In addition, we often see fake Maotai wine on the news!

If you drink it, you simply won't be able to tell which is the real thing.

You can only tell by looking at the bottle.

From the 1990s to the early 2000s, the market was not particularly fond of collecting wine bottles and the like. The more expensive the wine, the more expensive the bottle, and there were even dozens or hundreds of bottles.

What's the point of collecting them?

Just take a closer look and you'll know.

As long as the bottle is real, what does it matter if the wine inside is fake?

The person drinking it won't be able to tell.

They think they've spent a lot of money on it, so it must be real, but little do they know that it's so fake it can't be real.

Han Songlin's judgment of the quality of wine is also very simple.

It's the taste!

Wine that tastes good is definitely good wine; wine that tastes harsh can't be said to be bad, but it's definitely not very good.

After tasting it carefully, the taste of this wine is not bad!

As for the fragrance, there is something to smell, and it's quite a pleasant smell.

It's a bit of a pity that this winery is gone.

Han Songlin thought to himself, it's a pity, but he didn't have many other thoughts.

Now, Han Songlin is quite satisfied with life.

Right, it's just a bit busy.

Han Songlin is thinking about hiring someone.

He can't let himself waste all his time in the shop.

He still has to think about what better opportunities there are to make money!

Why not, first, open a shop in the other two markets?

There are now three markets in the county, and if he takes them all, the income for the day will still be quite considerable.

After taking over the market in the music square, continue to make progress, take over the neighbouring county, then the city, and finally the provincial capital, open all over the southwest, and march into the whole country!

Just thinking about it makes me a little excited!

It's too far away to talk about all that, so I might as well just renovate the house!

In the afternoon, Han Songlin took the little notebook he had filled in all day yesterday, and drew how he planned to renovate the house.

Han Songlin was unable to do anything about some of the current designs of the house.

For example, there were no bay windows.

There was a balcony, however.

The house had a north-south layout, which was not bad.

'For the kitchen, I want a counter here, with bricks below and a cement slab above. Then I'll put some steel bars in the cement slab. And I'll put tiles on top of the cement slab.'

There was no marble, so tiles it is!

'The walls here should also be tiled, up to this position.'

'Can you understand this drawing?'

'I think so!'

Han Songlin drew it, and it is quite vivid.

What's the matter? He studied art for a few years, and although he hasn't drawn for many years, he still remembers some of the basics.

Throughout the afternoon, Han Songlin spent the whole time talking to them about how to decorate the house.

It was almost past five o'clock, so he let them go back.

If it's too late, it will take longer to get back.

They will come tomorrow to start the work officially.

In addition, Han Songcai said that he had found someone with renovation experience to help.

Han Songlin naturally agreed with a full mouth, and it's fine to pay a higher salary.

In this way, the renovation of the house was finally settled.

The next day, after Han Songlin finished working in the morning and delivered lunch, he went back.

In the evening, Han Songlin and Liu Yuyan used the flashlight to take a look at the house.

As for the chopsticks and bowls, they naturally did not take them back.

Compared to the future decoration, the current decoration is, to be honest, quite simple.

At least there are not as many processes as there will be later.

In the following period of time, Han Songlin just went over there at noon to take a look, while the rest of the time, he looked for a suitable store in the county town.

By the way, Han Songlin hired a clerk.

She was a woman in her thirties, and she looked quite pretty.

Han Songlin definitely wasn't attracted to her, but he felt that she looked better, and she seemed more approachable to customers.

This was the first time in his two lives that he had employees; it was quite an interesting thing to think about.

Of course, it also meant that he had to take on the responsibility of supporting his employees; he didn't need to talk about the benefits, but he had to pay the most basic salary!

At this time, what was Han Songlin's most intuitive feeling?

It was that every day was a bit easier.

After a few days, Han Songlin finally found a new shop.

The shop was on a main street in the county town, a street that mainly served commercial purposes; it was full of banks, bookstores, and all kinds of clothing stores.

Yes, there were a lot of clothing stores.

In Han Songlin's memory, the two streets nearby were full of clothing stores.

In the future, all the big brands will be here.

As for where the shop Han Songlin found was?

It was still the front entrance to the food market.

Inside the door was the food market; outside the door was the commercial street.

It just so happened that Han Songlin saw a handwritten rental advertisement.

'Boss, are you not going to do business anymore?'

'No!'

Han Songlin: 'You rented this store, or what?'

'I own the shop! What, do you want to buy it or rent it?'

Han Songlin didn't speak immediately, but looked at the boss. To be honest, opening a hardware store here didn't quite fit in with the atmosphere of the whole street.

This is a commercial street!

It is currently the most prosperous street in the entire county, and even in the future, when the county expands, it will not decline.

It is a place that country people will definitely come to when they come to the city.

Han Songlin remembers that when he was a child and came to the city, his mother would take him here.

Moreover, a few steps further is Yuechi No. 2 Middle School!

The two high schools in the entire county, one provincial model school and one municipal model school.

By the way, is this being evaluated now?

Well, none of that matters.

What's important is that students are also a large consumer group.

Naturally, children nowadays don't have a future. The children will have money in their hands, but they still have some.

When it comes to food, parents are still willing to spend money.

'I want to buy it!'

The middle-aged man glanced at Han Songlin, and his face, which had lost the impatience it had at the beginning, instantly changed. He smiled and said, 'Hello, brother, come in and have a seat!'

'Let me tell you, my store is really something. Look, this street is the busiest street in our county. You know that.'

Han Songlin declined his kindness and did not sit down. 'Brother, just name a price. If it's suitable, we'll continue the conversation. If it's too high, I'll just pretend I never entered this door!'
