Open a store?

The idea doesn't seem too bad?

Of course, if it's another season, you don't have to toss so much, just go out to Houhai with your thoughts every day.

Over time, she will naturally meet some new friends.

But alas, it's winter, and it's winter in the north.

The temperature is low and the wind is strong, and before the official opening of the ice rink, Shichahai is very popular during the day.

Of course, the so-called dismal popularity refers to the daytime.

Houhai is really lively at night.

If Sanlitun Bar Street takes the fashionable route, then Houhai Bar Street is undoubtedly the literary route.

A small alley, gathered near the sea, no noisy music, the melodious singing and the unique charm of the old Shangjing, it is definitely a melodious elegy in the modern city.

In this kind of literary and artistic place, it is really good to open a store.

Anyway, they are idle all day, opening a shop to take care of the little ones, and by the way, they can also add some fun to life.

It's pretty good to think about.

But the question is, what kind of store do they open?

Chen Xi didn't have any ideas, since it was Qin Ruoying's suggestion, then it was better to listen to her opinion, so he asked with a smile: "What kind of store do you want to open?"

Hearing this, Qin Ruoying frowned and pondered.

They are not short of money, and opening a store is purely for fun, to create a new living environment for the little one.

Business can't be too good, and if it's too good, you won't have time to take care of the children.

But it can't be too bad, if it's too bad, you can only look at the door in a daze all day long, so it's better not to open.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Ruoying didn't come up with a reason, so she proposed to go outside and see what shops were around.

Houhai Bar Street was formed at an incomprehensible rate after the end of SARS more than 10 years ago.

She vaguely remembers that there were only a few taverns here.

But now, as far as the eye can see, Houhai is lined with dense taverns.

The family of three walked around Houhai, and the more Qin Ruoying looked at it, the more dissatisfied she became.

Chen Xi saw it in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

When the little guy ran to the railing and studied whether the lake was frozen, Chen Xi suddenly smiled and said: "Yingying, we opened the store just to let Niannian reach more people, as for what store to open, it doesn't really matter......"

Hearing this, Qin Ruoying couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

After thinking about Chen Xi's words carefully, she said with some confusion: "It's because I think it's wrong, most of the bars here are really not suitable for opening a bookstore......

The store that Qin Ruoying wants to open the most is actually a bookstore.

But Houhai is a relatively mature business district after all.

The fame of Houhai Bar Street can even be compared to Sanlitun and Gongti, so in addition to bars, there are only some teahouses, restaurants, food stalls and other shops, and there are not even a few supermarket stores.

Fame had already decided that other stores would not be able to survive here, so Qin Ruoying thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think about what kind of store they should open.

Chen Xi saw her tangled face, so he smiled and proposed: "Didn't you see a sign of store transfer hanging outside a teahouse just now?

"Teahouse?"

Qin Ruoying was a little surprised, but after seeing Chen Xi's serious expression, she also had to think seriously about this proposal.

In fact, compared to teahouses, Qin Ruoying prefers coffee shops.

But it's a pity that coffee is a Western culture after all, so after arriving in this place like Houhai, which is full of folk charm, I am a little uncomfortable.

As they walked along the road, they had already seen several closed coffee shops.

Since ancient times, there has been a tea culture in China, tea flourished in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty, from the emperor and generals, literati and ink writers, down to the porters and traders, and the common people, all of whom took tea as good.

In the eyes of many young people, coffee seems to be much more flavorful than tea?

But in fact, coffee, cocoa, and tea are known as the world's top three non-alcoholic beverages.

Silk, porcelain, tea, this is also the business card handed by Huaxia to the world.

Before the rise of Houhai Bar Street, it was dominated by teahouses.

Whenever it is summer, the surface of Houhai Lake is open, the water is shining, the weeping willows on both sides of the bank are still clinging, the lights are lit, the spire of the palace wall in the distance is reflected in the water, and there are painting boats gently rowing through from time to time.

Wouldn't it be nice to brew a pot of tea at this time and sit quietly by the lake?

This is a kind of cultural charm, which belongs to China and Houhai.

Qin Ruoying was moved.

So, the couple immediately reached an agreement, and called the little guy to turn around and walk towards the teahouse with the storefront transfer.

The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties, and after hearing Chen Xi's explanation, he immediately enthusiastically introduced the situation of the teahouse to them.

The scale of this teahouse is okay, the lobby is about seventy or eighty square meters, and there is a small courtyard of more than fifty square meters at the back, the overall decoration is very antique, exquisite and elegant.

The façade is the boss's own, because the business of the teahouse is really not good now, so the boss does not plan to continue to operate, and is ready to rent out the shop to collect some rent.

The price of the shop in Houhai is not cheap, and the rent of a square meter of a better store is about 300 yuan.

In other words, for such a big shop, the monthly rent must be at least about 40,000 yuan.

Over the course of a year, the rent alone is nearly 500,000 yuan, which is really expensive.

Because the owner is the landlord, the transfer fee is omitted, but the decoration fee still has to be paid.

Chen Xi had a lot of money, but he didn't want to be wronged, so he talked to the boss about the price.

After some bargaining, the boss agreed to only charge 200,000 yuan for decoration, the inventory in the shop, and the rent of 35,000 per month, paid once a year, plus a month's deposit.

In order to prevent Chen Xi from saying that he charged decoration fees indiscriminately, the boss even took out a list of his previous decoration costs, and kept saying that he had spent more than 500,000 yuan to decorate the shop, and if Chen Xi rented it to others, he could receive 400,000 yuan for the transfer fee alone.

That being said, believe it or not, it depends on Chen Xi.

This is not a trivial matter after all, so the boss thought that the young couple would go back to discuss it.

But what he didn't expect was that the young couple didn't hesitate for long, and after a few simple discussions, the two directly decided to rent.

The price is negotiated, then the next step is simple, look at the real estate certificate, sign the contract, clear the account, count the goods, pay the money, and cooperate happily.

If you want to change the name of the store, or change the type of store operation, you have to ask the boss to go to the industrial and commercial office to cancel the original business license, and then Chen Xi will go to re-register.

Chen Xi was troublesome, so he didn't even bother to change his name, and the boss saw that he was so happy, and after signing an agreement with him, he also gave him the original and copy of the business license with confidence.

Therefore, in less than a day's work, this teahouse, which is not far from Dongming Hutong and adjacent to Houhai, has completely changed its new owner.

Qingyi Tea House.

This is the new industry for their family of three.

And when Chen Xi signed the contract with the boss, the little guy was walking around the teahouse with the big cat, and from time to time he was touching around, and seemed to be very interested here.

When Qin Ruoying saw her like that, her heart suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

Now, she only hopes that this teahouse can bring a different life experience to Niannian......
