Chen Kai and Ding Yuan had just walked through the door of Duoduoke and found a suspected rental store next to it.

The rolling shutter door of the façade next door to Duoduoke was closed, and Chen Kai was sharp to find that there was still an A4 paper on the door.

The spray-painted sign on the top of the door has faded, and the words "Asan Snack" can still be faintly seen.

The two of them took a closer look, and on the blue roller shutter door was a rental advertisement.

"The location of the business façade at the bottom of the community is good, with an area of 40 square meters, the landlord rents directly, and the price is negotiable. "There is also a mobile phone number left under the ad.

Ding Yuan was a little puzzled: "This façade is not far from the gate, the location is very good, I seemed to be a snack bar last time, why did you suddenly stop doing it?"

Chen Kai pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Duoduoke next door, and said, "Call the landlord and ask again, and see how much it costs a month." ”

Ding Yuan nodded and dialed his mobile phone according to the contact information on the notice.

"Uh-huh, okay, we'll just wait at the door. Ding Yuan put down the phone and said to Chen Kai: "The landlord lives in the community, and he will be here soon, let's wait." ”

Chen Kai nodded, and observed the situation in the vicinity by the way.

The location of this façade looks very good, and there are five or six facades separated from the gate of the Four Seasons Community, the location is not biased, and it is not on the corner, facing the road, and there are many pedestrians coming and going.

As for why the previous business was yellow, I'm afraid it can't compete with this Duoduo customer.

Chen Kai and Ding Yuan chatted for a while, and then saw a middle-aged man who was a little bald, fat, and wearing a plaid shirt walked over.

"Are you going to rent a storefront?" the middle-aged man asked when he saw Chen Kai and Ding Yuan waiting.

Chen Kai replied: "You are the landlord, we are the one who called you just now." ”

The middle-aged man nodded, wiped the sweat from his face with his hands, and took out a bunch of keys from his pocket.

"I'll open the door and show you the house. ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man stepped forward and opened the lock of the roller shutter door and pulled it up hard.

With a bang, the roller shutter door was pulled up, and the glass door of the façade was revealed, and the glass door was pasted: there was a private seat inside, and the air conditioning was open.

There is a padlock on the glass door, and the landlord opens the padlock and pulls the door open.

"Come in and have a look. ”

The three of them walked into the façade, Chen Kai looked around, the floor height of this façade is much higher than that of ordinary residences, about three meters five to four meters, and it looks quite spacious when you look up.

The decoration is four white floors, except for the ordinary yellow tiles, there is no extra decoration.

The whole façade is about 40 square meters, divided into two parts, inside and outside, there are more than 30 square meters, which should have been used as a dining area in the past, and there are dust marks left by the table legs on the ground.

There is an old-looking vertical air conditioner in the corner, and there is a dead electronic clock on top of the air conditioner.

The three of them walked inside, and there was a space of about ten square meters separated inside, obviously a kitchen, with a flue, stove, sink and faucet, and a smell of oil smoke that did not dissipate.

After a general look, Chen Kai felt that the overall layout of this store was okay, there was also a division between the dining area and the kitchen, and there were steps at the door, so even if it rained, it would definitely not be able to come in.

Ding Yuan looked around, looked east, touched west, turned his head and asked the landlord: "Big brother, why isn't the house before this façade rented?"

The landlord replied with a depressed tone: "The original tenant made snacks here two years ago, and the rent was paid quite timely, and the business was okay, but as soon as this Duoduo customer opened, it couldn't work." ”

Branded fast food is indeed more competitive than ordinary snacks, Chen Kai nodded, and asked directly: "Boss, if we want to rent this storefront, how will the rent be calculated here?"

The landlord thought for a moment and said, "I used to rent this store for 3,500 yuan a month. ”

When Ding Yuan heard this, he immediately exhaled: "What? Three thousand and five? I asked about the façade next to it before, and it was only rented for two thousand a month!"

When the landlord heard this, he quickly shook his head: "What kind of international joke, two thousand yuan a month is almost the same as renting a house." ”

Chen Kai thought for a while, and said to the landlord in a calm tone:

"Big brother, give me a real price, we are still doing business on the food street, if we really can't rent this storefront, we will go back to our own business." ”

Judging from the dust on the ground, this store should have been idle for more than a month, and the landlord looked a little hesitant and asked, "How long can you rent it?"

Ding Yuan probably thought about this question carefully, and said:

"Big brother, we can sign the contract for at least one year, but we will give you the rent once a quarter for the first year, and if we renew the lease for the second year, we will give it to you once a year. ”

The landlord, who is also a shrewd man, took out his mobile phone and pressed it, presumably using a calculator, and after a while, he said:

"I'm also a cheerful person, I always suffer when this façade is idle, two thousand five hundred a month, the lowest, don't rent it. ”

When Ding Yuan heard this price, there was a little excitement in his eyes, and he didn't say anything, and cast an inquiring glance at Chen Kai.

Chen Kai glanced at Ding Yuan, thought for a moment, turned his head and said to the landlord with a smile:

"Big brother, your price is indeed quite reasonable, let's go back and discuss, how about giving you a definite answer before 5 pm tomorrow?"

The landlord nodded: "Well, it's also right to go back and discuss, what is left on the advertisement is my own phone number, you save it, my name is Wang Kangming, you can call me after you discuss it." ”

The three of them walked out of the storefront, Chen Kai and the landlord Wang Kangming said hello, and continued to walk along the community.

The two of them chatted while walking, and Ding Yuan said to Chen Kai with some excitement: "Two thousand five a month, I asked here last month, and there is no store below three thousand here." ”

Chen Kai thought for a while: "Two thousand five a month, seven thousand five a quarter, if the landlord is asking for a deposit or something, the first payment to him will be 9,000 yuan." ”

As soon as the cost was mentioned, Ding Yuan was not so excited, and he regained his composure and calculated carefully.

"We have ready-made stove and kitchen utensils, which doesn't cost money, but since we want to do a store business, we still have to do a lot of procedures.

For example, those name approvals, tax registrations, individual licenses, health permits, and health certificates and physical examinations add up to a small 1,000 yuan, and we didn't count the money we paid for the materials in the first half of the month. ”

Chen Kai couldn't help but smile when he heard Ding Yuan's words: "Old Ding, I can't see that you are quite professional." ”

Ding Yuan glanced at Chen Kai: "Don't look at me as just a skewer maker, but I also have the ambition of a restaurant owner." ”

Chen Kai smiled: "I don't know much about these, you just need to understand, probably how much money we have to invest in the early stage to start." ”

Ding Yuan rarely showed a serious expression on his face, opened the mobile phone calculator and calculated it seriously, and after a while, he looked up and said to Chen Kai:

"Of course, the more upfront investment, the better, but at least 17,000. ”

"Seventeen thousand?" Chen Kai thought in his heart, he had just finished paying off the loan, plus his father's daily expenses in the hospital, and now he could only scrape together about 5,000 yuan of money for investment.

"Lao Ding, I probably have more than 5,000 yuan on hand, how many do you have?"

When Ding Yuan heard this, his face was a little helpless: "I have almost five thousand in my hand." ”

After talking for a long time, the money on the two of them was only enough for rent.

Chen Kai smiled and teased Ding Yuan: "Old Ding, you can do it, if you don't have enough money, you dare to ask the price everywhere, in case you sign a contract, I'm afraid you can only sell blood." ”

Ding Yuan smiled: "I've been buying lottery tickets for the past week or two, in case I win 180,000, won't the money be there." ”

Hearing that Ding Yuan actually had the heart to joke to comfort himself, Chen Kai couldn't help laughing.

The two of them walked and watched, and shook a big circle near the Four Seasons Community, most of the facades around the community have owners, and a few of them are obviously just rented and are being renovated in ping-pong.

In the end, it was found that only Wang Kangming's store was rented out.

Ding Yuan also scratched his head a little: "The façade of this community is really sought-after. ”

Chen Kai looked around the community: "I turned around a lot, it seems that the location of the façade just now is the most suitable, and the price is good." ”

Ding Yuan was a little unwilling: "The façade is vacated, but unfortunately the money is not enough." ”

Chen Kai thought for a while and said calmly: "The store still has to be opened, and the money will be left to me." ”
