Chapter 142: New Stores
Zhao Mingcheng's suggestion, Du Feiyu still thought about it a few times after he went back.
Whether it's the idea of starting a live broadcast or the idea of looking for a storefront, it's a plan worth trying.
The most important quality at this stage is to be willing to spend money.
Fortunately, there is a public computer in the boarding house, and as soon as Bai goes back in the evening, he begins to study how to use the computer.
Du Feiyu asked Li Mubai to inquire about the computer, and he was going to rush to the opposite side of Baohua Building to have a look.
......
As a new office building, Baohua Building is also quite eye-catching in the local area.
But behind this office building, there is a lost commercial center.
With the relocation of the stadium, the function of the living quarters here has been diluted. Office workers are busy, but residents are not interested in visiting.
Du Feiyu walked around and found a very interesting phenomenon.
On the street adjacent to the office building, there are many storefronts and a thriving scene.
But when I turned a corner, it was just deserted!
This contrast is too great!
The flow of people just stretches along the road.
There are no surprises in the shopping street on this side, and of course it is impossible to be popular.
Du Feiyu walked into a store and casually asked about the rent here.
The owner of the shop, who had opened the shop, a very elegant middle-aged woman, replied dryly:
"There are office buildings here, 20,000 to 30,000 a month, but this street is around the corner, because there is no road, the price is much cheaper. ”
Du Feiyu politely bought a rose.
"How cheap is it?"
The woman smiled.
"Seven folds, even in half. However, if the store is opened there, isn't it only possible to lose money?"
This next round, Du Feiyu smiled.
It's the kind of store that everyone thinks will lose money.
If the lessor also has this self-awareness, then the rent can be lower.
As a qualified study room, too much traffic may be worth the trouble.
If you want to go to a place to recharge your batteries, or just relax quietly, this kind of corner store is the best place to be.
The distance from the office building is almost the same, and the urban people who avoid the noisy voices and nervous breakdowns can find a paradise here.
Du Feiyu quickly found a beautiful two-story storefront here – one and a half floors to be exact.
It is a structure with a bottom lobby plus a second-floor terrace.
There is also a glass door room on the edge of the terrace, but next to the glass room, it seems that there are already different shops.
Du Feiyu measured the edge of the house for a while, and speculated that the depth of the store should be more than 12 meters.
Lao Du dialed the phone number at the door.
"Hello, do you have a store near Baohua Building?"
"Rent, may I ask you ......?"
"I want to take a look at the store, I wonder if it's convenient for you now?"
......
The homeowner quickly arrived at the scene.
Now like Du Feiyu, there are not many tenants who come directly to the scene to see the store without any greeting or intermediary.
It's not easy to rent out a storefront either.
One of the things that landlords particularly hate during the rental process is that there is a gap between rents.
Property does not generate value on a sustainable basis, and even worse, prices in some areas do not even rise but fall.
Today, when housing prices remain so high, they can't rent out, and housing prices can't be raised, which is a big blow to the mentality of holding a lot of real estate.
Du Feiyu remembered Zhao Mingcheng's words yesterday.
"In a few years, the physical stores in Huayang City will only be CBD, and the storefronts on the street, the stores on the commercial street, will become more and more worthless. ”
Du Feiyu doesn't know where his theory came from for the time being, but judging from the lessor's hurried attitude, this may really be the case.
The lessor opened the roller shutter door and took Du Feiyu into the store that had not been seen for a long time.
"It's an in-store space. The last one moved away, and many of the renovations were left here, and I didn't tear them down. ”
He introduced.
"The ground floor is about 400 square meters, and you can go upstairs here, and the upstairs rooms are more than 100 square meters, and the terrace is about 50 square meters. ”
Very big shop. Du Feiyu thought to himself, as expected.
"What does the upper house do?"
Du Feiyu asked.
Rental Rao's expression did not change, he knew that the people who opened the shop always liked to know about their own home.
One is the so-called store edge, and the other is to make a reference.
"Shangjia is a bookstore. However, in recent years, online businesses have developed, and physical bookstores are not easy to do, so they were withdrawn within a few months. ”
Du Feiyu's heart tightened, and after thinking about it a little, he felt that the study room and the bookstore did not have much in common, so he said casually:
"You don't seem to have anyone passing by here. Looks like there's a lack of business?"
This is the biggest weakness, Du Feiyu asked on his face, but in fact, he has begun to lower the price.
But the whole store is not finished yet, and Lao Du's current posture is still completely like a tour, and he loves to buy or not.
Maybe he was asked too much, Du Feiyu came casually, and the lack of rental was also a trick:
"Now everyone is working, you can't see it! There are a lot of people here at night! Look at the shops on the street over there, business is good! It's not far away, so where can it be worse?"
The two walked along, and the lessor came to a corner and waved his hand:
"It's against the beams, and the room isn't too square. But the area is not, it will be nice to decorate. ”
Du Feiyu was overjoyed.
Although this place is not very tidy, it is very convenient to use it as a reading room or a special self-study room for VIPs.
Nice place!
Thinking of this, Du Feiyu frowned, shook his head and said:
"You can't do this! There is a beam on the left, another corner on the right, and there is a fan-shaped area in the middle! There is no window and there is no way to open the store! How can people decorate it?"
The lessor, apparently embarrassed by the harsh criticism, simply retorted:
"But the whole store environment will not be bad! And the area is very large......
The large area seems to have become his only advantage.
And Du Feiyu just waited for work, recovered his expressionless appearance, pretended to continue to look around, and said lightly:
"It's very expensive to decorate this kind of place......"
Foreplay is largely done before the actual negotiations get to the ground.
The storefronts were all around. Although the two are about to separate, they somewhat understand Petts's attitude.
This deal has to be discussed!
The lessor spoke first.
"What does the boss want to do with it?"
"I'll hide it from you, it's a study room. ”
“...... Study room?"
"You can think of it as a bookstore. ”
"Is there a food or restaurant-like business?"
"There are only drink shops. Du Feiyu smiled, "Boss, don't worry! We are not doing anything illegal!"
The lessor thought about it halfway and had no idea.
The study room doesn't feel like a thing that can be opened into a store.
In his opinion, with such a large area, it would probably be more appropriate to open a civilian restaurant.
"If it's just for drinks...... Never mind. ”
The lessor stopped talking.
Du Feiyu knew what he wanted next, so he directly cut off his words.
"I would like to rent for a long time if I can. ”
This is definitely good news for lessors.
was robbed once, and the lessor hurriedly wanted to make up for it, but Du Feiyu would never let him have this opportunity.
He went straight to the point.
"So, rent me 8,000 a month. ”
It's a mixed bag, but the price has broken through the phosphorus line.
The lessor had just been happy for a second, but now he felt as if he was listening to a fanta.
"What are you kidding? With such a big storefront, you can't rent it without 30,000 yuan, and you dare to open 8,000?"
"Then you can rent it for 30,000 yuan. I'm just going to see it anyway. ”
Du Feiyu smiled indifferently, gave the rental a cigarette, and raised his feet to leave.
"There are so many shops around, but they are all open......!
The lessor finally came over, how could he let it go now?
It is a habitual means to just open a high price, and adults are dignified, and it is impossible to go up and let people bargain.
"Twenty-five thousand!" he shouted.
Du Feiyu was indifferent, lifted the roller shutter door and was about to go out.
The lessor just thought about it, and when he hesitated, Du Feiyu went out and came back.
"Boss, I'll be honest with you. The storefronts here are all around the corner, and there is no way to go further back. The price of this kind of dead-end store really can't be raised. ”
"The business here is very good, and the area is so large, and the location is also cooperative..."
Rental Rao's eloquence is not very good, he just bites his few advantages and does not let go.
Sometimes you don't need to be rhetorical, you just need to get to the point.
"Eight thousand. At most, this number is not negotiable. The store next door also gave me this price. ”
Du Feiyu began to pull.
"Business can't be good, your store is poor. It's useless to have a large area, and the one under the office building is worth more than you. Boss, I say in my heart, if it really depends on the location, I will go directly to the opposite side of the street to find a store, where will I come to you?"
"Then you can rent ...... where you are 8,000"
"But isn't the biggest advantage of your store compared to other Rao that it is cheap and cost-effective?"
“......”
The lessor was silent.
"Otherwise, twenty thousand. What do you think?"
"Twenty thousand is high, you are opening high. I'll also take one step, ten thousand, to be fair to all of us. ”
The lessor's heart is bitter.
Why is this tenant on today's stall so difficult?
"10,000 can't be rented. ”
He replied with some sadness.
It seems that this is the bottom line. Du Feiyu thought.
So he pretended to be a little regretful and said:
"That's a shame. Actually, I'm quite optimistic about this store overall. I'll leave a phone number, I'll go and see the other stores first, and we can talk back if we need it. ”
This sentence gives a signal of relaxation, and the second is a hint that I am not inferior to you.
The negotiations ended in an unfinished state.
Du Feiyu inquired again in other areas, as if he hadn't seen this shop.
......
At night, he returned to his room and found that Ah Bai was sleeping in front of the computer, and on the screen was a sister doing live broadcasts dancing there.
"Go to bed. ”
Du Feiyu picked up the bouquet of roses he had just bought and gently knocked on Ah Bai's head.
Ah Bai was obviously in a daze, and he just felt annoyed by something, so he habitually bit it in one bite.
Rose...... was eaten.
"Hey, you fox, give me back the romance you just had! ”
Du Feiyu, who was busy, said angrily.
Ah Bai rubbed his eyes, smiled miserably, and snatched the bouquet.
"It's delicious, don't give it. ”
She walked back to her room.
"I can't help it......"
Du Feiyu shook his head helplessly and began to wait for the expected call.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the bell finally rang.
"Fifteen thousand, rent or not? ”
The voice on the other end of the line was stiff.
He is the lessor of the previous shop.
It seems that he couldn't hold his breath first.
The monthly rent of 15,000 was cut by half, and the price was about 5,000 lower than that of the inquiry.
It's already approaching the ideal price point.
The corners of Du Feiyu's mouth curled, and he responded calmly:
"I'll think about it, and we'll talk about it again. ”
......
