104 Buying a shop
Xu Zhi stood up, looked at the map of Xiangjiang hanging on the wall behind him, and found the location of the shop, at this moment, the location of the shop is indeed barren, but as long as he waits for a few years, the price of Xiangjiang land will skyrocket, and no matter how barren the place is, it can be speculated at a sky-high price.
For example, in a desolate place like Tin Shui Wai, before the end of the 70s, no one went to that kind of place at all, and even the roads were muddy, let alone do any commercial development.
But the power of the house speculation group is powerful, they can fry flour to the point that it is more expensive than bread, and rely on the information of true and false one by one, and they simply fry a desolate area.
Xu Zhi thought about it and said to Lin Siqi: "You make an appointment with the landlord for me, just say that I want to talk to him about the sale of shops!"
Lin Siqi exclaimed, "Are we going to buy that shop?"
Xu Zhidao: "Yes, I have my considerations, just contact you." ”
"Okay!" Lin Siqi agreed.
……
The landlord of the shop is named Wei Fucheng, and Xu Zhi and he meet him in a teahouse next to the shop.
However, twenty minutes after the appointment, a chubby middle-aged man trotted up the stairs with a briefcase, and the wooden staircase made a "creaking" sound.
Wei Fucheng saw Lin Siqi, so he naturally found the position directly, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xu Zhi and said, "Hello, my name is Wei Fucheng!"
"Xu Zhi!"
Wei Fucheng said: "Xu Sheng is really young! I like your Kunlun very much! That's really wonderful!"
Xu Zhi smiled: "I didn't expect Wei Sheng to recognize me." ”
Wei Fucheng said: "That is, after all, it is such a big business, and I have to investigate the background of the other party." ”
"I see!" Xu Zhi suddenly found that he was a little careless, he wanted to buy the other party's shop, but the other party's background was unknown.
Wei Fucheng didn't pay attention to Xu Zhi's expression, and then said: "I know that Xu Sheng is the one who wants to rent my shop, so I am naturally very happy, and I am even more relieved to do business with a celebrity like Xu Sheng." ”
Xu Zhi smiled: "But I heard that Wei Sheng intends to sell this shop!"
Wei Fucheng smiled: "Haha, that was the idea before, now, it doesn't matter!"
"Really? That's a pity. Xu Zhi understands the other party's thoughts, so one is to grasp the initiative in the transaction and strive to sell at a high price, and the second is that if Xu Zhi really doesn't buy, it will be a good business to rent for a long time.
Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "I have plans to buy a set of shops, I heard that there is now a shop in Xiangjiang that raises three generations, if Wei Sheng refuses to sell, then I can only entrust an intermediary company to find it slowly." ”
Wei Fucheng frowned and said, "Isn't Xu Sheng planning to rent a shop to do a clothing business?"
As a landlord, when he negotiates with the tenant, he can naturally know what business the other party is doing, and it is not a secret to open a clothing store, and Lin Siqi did not deliberately keep it a secret.
Xu Zhidao: "Yes, there is such a plan, but it doesn't matter where you open a clothing store, the location of the store is the most important, isn't it?"
Wei Fucheng didn't answer, he understood what Xu Zhi meant, if the shop was not sold, then don't think about renting!
This is different from his plan, although the shop thing sounds like it is easy to make money, just rent it out and collect money every year with your eyes closed.
But this is actually aimed at the location of the prosperous area, that kind of place, a stall can be rented out at a sky-high price, but his shop is different, although the location is between many residential areas, but the area is too big, so big that it is difficult to rent out.
In the past, when he was worth a lot, he also invested in the planning of the entire store: dividing the entire area into a few, and then renting out all of them, so the shop of more than 6,000 square feet was divided into several large and small shops of different sizes.
There were no attractive projects in the shops, and the serious lack of foot traffic further led to the closure of small shops one after another, and the entire project was forced to close after several years of loss.
But there is no endless road, just when he was worried, an RB supermarket company came to the door, they rented the entire shop, and opened a supermarket after a big renovation.
Although the income of the people in the neighborhood is average, it is better to have more people, and the supermarket can still maintain its business.
The somewhat inflated Wei Fucheng raised the rent immediately after the expiration of his first contract, and he calculated that the other party would not give up his plan to enter Xiangjiang because of this rent.
Sure enough, although it was a long time to make a fuss, the supermarket still compromised, so once a year, the rent slowly went up.
Wei Fucheng is actually a smart person, he has calculated the approximate profit of the other party's supermarket for a year, and he will not raise the rent without scruples, otherwise, the other party will be forced to break up, and everyone will be finished.
However, the first oil crisis is obviously not something that a small person like him can predict, RB supermarket company headquarters has suffered serious losses, and the supermarket in Xiangjiang has been half-dead because the rent is too high, and the profit is a little bit, but it is a pity to abandon the tasteless food, so he took advantage of the company's strategic contraction to directly close the Xiangjiang branch.
Wei Fucheng returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, and the huge shop had been vacant for nearly 3 years, and a year's loss was a set of Xiangjiang mansions.
The failure of leasing for several years in a row gave him the idea of making a move, but just as he was about to operate, he ran into Lin Siqi and others who were trying to find a large shop, which made his heart warm up again: renting it out is more delicate and long-term than selling it directly!
Xu Zhi took out a pen from his bag, wrote a number on the napkin, handed it over, and said, "Wei Sheng, how about looking at this price?"
Wei Fucheng said: "Xu Sheng, this is too insincere, now the residences in Kowloon are close to 200 yuan a foot, I am a shop, and it is a street shop, the price you give is too low!"
Xu Zhidao: "According to the price of shops in this vicinity, it really shouldn't be like this, but the nature of the shop itself is investment, and investment depends on the rate of return, if Wei Sheng's set is only 600 feet, we can naturally trade according to the current market price, but the current situation is different, the area of 3000 square feet is too large, there are a few merchants who can rent such a house, even if they rent, who wants to open such a big shop in a place like Kowloon?"
A series of questions made Wei Fucheng more annoyed, the price was too low, but the other party was telling the truth, it had been a few years, and the shops were still empty here, in order to stop the loss, he had already divided the side of the shop into several small shops, which was a last resort.
Xu Zhi stood up and said, "If you don't agree, forget it, I still have something, if Wei Sheng wants to open it, you can contact my assistant at any time!"
