A few days before the start of school, Liu Yun made up his mind to do something that had always worried him. He walked slowly through the streets of the main city, his eyes constantly looking around. Following the route in his memory, Liu Yun wanted to find the shop that his uncle would rent next year.

In 2002, the city was far less urbanized than later generations, so the main city was not big, and the business district was even smaller, so if you were riding a bicycle, you could walk around in less than an hour.

There are two more famous and prosperous streets here, Bei'an Road and Donghe Road. Even after more than ten years, many residents of the LC district have moved to the new district, which is still very lively, of course, compared with the current era, it is a lot more deserted.

In Bei'an Road, there are mainly some small restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and Donghai No. 2 Middle School where Liu Yun studied, and Dongdajie and Bei'an Road crisscross it, where there are vegetable markets, fruit stalls, some clothing stores selling land stalls, and a variety of dazzling shops, by the way, there is also a pedestrian street, there is a cinema.

These two streets, the commercial atmosphere is also good, and the night is also brightly lit and full of people. And his uncle's supermarket is located on Donghe Road, and business has been very hot in the past few years. Liu Yun's idea was to take down the shop, I remember hearing my uncle say that the boss was in a hurry to use the money and wanted to sell the shop, but he had been hesitant, missed the opportunity, regretted it, and finally cheapened others.

Liu Yun wandered around for a while, and kept comparing it with the location in his memory, and determined that the shop in front of him, about 200 square meters, was rented by his uncle to open a supermarket a year later.

When he walked to the door of the shop and looked at the empty space inside, a voice in his heart kept telling him, "Buy it, buy it." "The residential building where the shop is located is still quite new, and it has only been two years since it was delivered. The quality of the house is much better than Liu Yun's current home, and of course it can't be compared with the house with the sea view of Jincheng that he just bought, which is too much worse.

On the wall, there is also a large advertisement for rent, with a contact number written on it, and a line of words next to it, this shop only accepts the whole set of rentals. No wonder, such a good lot has always been empty. If you don't accept the subdivision, the rent will not be cheap, which is a lot of pressure for many businesses.

Liu Yun remembered that this shop had been rented to a small owner who sold clothing before, but it was only half a year, and he couldn't hold on. With 200 square meters of rent, plus employees' salaries, and various utility bills, if the business is mediocre, the burden is indeed heavy enough.

He pulled out the Nokia 510 phone in his pocket, which he had just bought yesterday. This mobile phone was just launched this summer, and the price was 1,700 yuan alone, and Liu Yun bought three in one go, 5,000 yuan. One black one was given to Liu's father, one red one was given to Liu's mother, and one blue one was kept for himself. He loves blue, the color of the sea, the color of the sky.

Dialed the number, rang a few times, and someone on the other side connected.

"Hello, is it the landlord of the 200-square-meter shop on the first floor of Building 1 of Sunshine Garden?"

"Yes. The other end of the phone replied.

"I want to rent your shop, let's meet and talk, I'm right in front of this shop now. ”

After Liu Yun hung up the phone, he waited patiently in place for about ten minutes. A somewhat chubby middle-aged man quickly walked over to him, with a briefcase under his arm. He came to the door of the shop and looked around, only Liu Yun stood alone.

He glanced at Liu Yun a few times, showed some doubts in his eyes, took out his mobile phone again, and prepared to call back.

Seeing this, Liu Yun believed that this person was the person he was waiting for, so he smiled and stepped forward to say hello, "Hello, you must be the landlord, I called just now." ”

Liu Yun naturally understood the reason for his reaction, and for today's meeting, he deliberately wore a work suit to make himself look more mature. But even so, he still looks very young and childish.

The middle-aged fat man carefully looked at Liu Yun from head to toe, "Young man, are you sure you want to rent my shop." He felt that Liu Yun was very young, as if he was joking with him, but judging by his attitude, it didn't look like a joke.

Liu Yun smiled, "Naturally, I want to rent your shop, it's true." ”

The middle-aged man calmed down, stretched out his hand and shook Liu Yun, "Hello, my name is Wang Cheng, I'm glad to meet." ”

Liu Yun said: "My surname is Liu, and my single name is a cloud character." I also know that I look young, which makes Brother Wang a little worried, which is also human nature, which is understandable. ”

Wang Cheng showed a hint of embarrassment, and smiled, "Mr. Liu, young and promising." I read in the newspaper that young people now like to start a business, which is about to become a trend. The state is also encouraged. It's just that my brother has a narrow social profile, and the first time he encountered this situation, he didn't react for a while. ”

Come on, this middle-aged man named Wang Cheng is really good at talking, and his words resolve the embarrassment in front of him. He is really a businessman.

However, if Liu Yun knew what he really thought in his heart, he would definitely vomit blood in anger.

The real thought in his heart is that the young people now don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, there are many entrepreneurs, and many of them die on the beach. To put it mildly, it is to take money to lose.

But none of this has anything to do with him, he only cares about the fact that this much-idle shop can be rented out quickly. At the beginning, in order to buy this shop, he asked relatives and friends to borrow a lot of money, and the financial pressure was really not small. If this young man in front of him can rent this shop, he will have a lot of extra rental income.

"Mr. Liu, if you rent this shop, it will definitely be a good deal. You look at such a large area, when you as the boss divide a large room as your own office, it is quite magnificent, whether it is your friends or your customers to come to your unit, it is a very face-saving thing. ”

"Also, this area is an urban area, whether it is in the morning or at night, it is very lively, you look at this side, there are so many pedestrians around, the popularity will definitely not be less. Wang Cheng began to talk like a river, and praised the store in his hand to the sky.

He understands that these young people start a business to make money, which is to use the family's money to save face, so he must blow this shop to the sky, so that he can impress the young people in front of him.

Liu Yun didn't rush to reply, but walked back and forth slowly, looking left and right, and couldn't help nodding, "This shop is good, Mr. Wang spent a lot of money to buy this one, and the business is not small." ”

Wang Cheng has been in business for more than ten years, and he is also a good person, but he looked at Liu Yun after all, after all, when he was a rich second generation who was not deeply involved in the world, he was not so thoughtful when he spoke, "That's natural, such a good location, you can't buy it without spending a lot of money." ”

Liu Yun on the side also nodded in agreement, "This is also, but such a good location, why doesn't Mr. Wang open a company himself, but rent it to others?"

"Brother Liu, I also thought about opening a store. At this time, Wang Cheng's name for Liu Yun changed, "In order to buy this store, I spent all my savings. You also know that it is not easy to save some money these days, so this store will not be opened by itself, just earn some rent. ”

"Little brother, do you know that many people like this shop, and five people have already consulted before you. Wang Cheng added another sentence. Businessmen are like this, they can talk wildly, and they don't feel blushing when they boast about themselves.

Someone had come to inquire about this shop before, but when they heard that the entire building was going to be rented, they all retreated. And only a small part of the money Wang Cheng used to buy the store was his own, and many of it was borrowed from relatives and friends, and he was in a hurry to repay the money.

Liu Yun smiled knowingly, he naturally knew that what Wang Cheng said was a lie, and he naturally had his own principles for the words of a businessman, that is, half-truths and half-truths. In his previous life, this shop was not rented by his uncle until the beginning of next year to open a supermarket.

I remember that at the family gathering, his uncle Wang Jianmin said that the landlord of this shop was short of money and asked him if he wanted to buy it. At that time, his idea was that I could earn nearly 100,000 yuan by renting this shop every year, and I couldn't do anything with this spare money, so why should I buy this shop. It wasn't until a few years later that he regretted his decision.

Although the price of residents' commercial housing is rising slowly, people can still see the room for appreciation, after all, this is just demand. After all, many people have limited cash in hand, and spend a huge amount of money to buy a shop, and it is even more distant to rely on rent to return the cost.
