Since Sister Wang said she wanted to sell Joy Soon Loy, Cheng Su had the idea and immediately returned to the Joy Soon Loy Restaurant to discuss it with Old Song.
"To sell?" Old Song’s eyes lit up, saying, "That’s great. By buying it, it will become part of Joy Soon Loy’s property. After reporting to the relevant departments, we could build an addition, and we won’t have to worry about the limited space!"
"That’s what I was thinking," Cheng Su sized up the whole restaurant and said, "If possible, tearing it down and rebuilding would be an even better choice."
Currently, Joy Soon Loy has a courtyard, which already occupies a large open space. The house is not big, and even with an addition, the space might not be particularly large. But if the courtyard could be utilized, it would be different; at least there would be over sixty square meters per floor, right?
"The cost of demolition is too high. It’s also okay to keep the courtyard and build on top of it. As long as we get the department’s approval, we can expand," Old Song said with a smile.
Cheng Su thought it over and agreed. After getting the department’s approval, it shouldn’t be difficult, especially with a county mayor backing them!
"If you also agree, then I’ll buy it!" Cheng Su smiled and went to settle the accounts with Liang Dan. She needed to see how much money was on the books and how much would need to be supplemented.
After doing the accounts at Joy Soon Loy, Cheng Su went home, cooked dinner, reviewed some material, and waited for Qi Taiguo to return home to discuss this significant matter. This would be their second piece of property.
When Qi Taiguo entered the house, he was shirtless. Seeing Cheng Su sitting on the sofa, he glanced at the small clock and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"
Cheng Su stood up, saw his bare torso, and frowned, saying, "Although it’s almost summer, you should still be careful after training not to catch a cold!"
Qi Taiguo laughed, saying, "No worries. I’m very hearty."
Cheng Su glared at him, pulled him to sit down, and said, "Sit down quickly, I have something to tell you."
"Hmm? What is it?" Qi Taiguo looked at her.
Cheng Su pushed her teacup towards him, her eyes shining like stars, excitedly saying, "The proprietor of the house where Joy Soon Loy Restaurant is located now, Sister Wang, said she wants to sell. I want to buy it. Then we can expand and operate by building an addition. What do you think?"
Qi Taiguo took a sip of water, startled at the news, "Buy that house?"
Cheng Su nodded eagerly, saying, "The business at Joy Soon Loy is doing very well, often we don’t have enough seats. But we can’t rent another place too far away. This house can be built upon to increase space."
"How much does it cost?" Qi Taiguo asked upon hearing this.
"Six to seven thousand; six thousand should be enough to seal the deal."
"Do you have enough money?" Qi Taiguo asked, "The restaurant near the train station was bought just half a year ago. Do we have enough funds? And shouldn’t we keep some working capital in the shop?"
Cheng Su nodded and said, "I did the restaurant’s accounting this afternoon. I can take out three thousand yuan from there, and I will add a bit more from my side. We can just increase the fixed asset cost!"
"Oh?"
"Our family’s savings are also twenty to thirty thousand. Buying this restaurant, we have more than enough," Cheng Su declared proudly.
Qi Taiguo was astonished, "We have that much in savings already?"
"You could say it’s slow!" Cheng Su touched her nose and said, "If we had less in savings, I wouldn’t dare to buy our own house!"
Qi Taiguo chuckled, "You’ve had this restaurant for less than a year, and considering the income from your other shops and factories, your personal savings are quite impressive. It can’t all happen at once."
Cheng Su stuck out her tongue, realizing it was true.
"Since you have enough money, then go ahead and buy it. After all, it is our own property," Qi Taiguo agreed with a smile.
Cheng Su cheered; she had just acquired another piece of fixed asset.
Watching her happy expression, Qi Taiguo couldn’t help but smile too. As long as she was happy, so was he.
