Chapter 44 Gift-giving (thanks to CN2541 for tipping)
"What did the rent boss of the shop say?" Lu Tao followed behind Zhang Jian, walking deep and shallow on the snow-covered street.
"I wasn't idle during the Chinese New Year, and I looked at all the rental shops around. Zhang Jian said as he walked.
"This shop feels more suitable, and the others are either too far away or the rent is too expensive. “
"Didn't it cost more than 7,000 a month to hear Li Hong say?" Lu Tao asked directly.
"Yes, the boss is not going to be less, but in my opinion, it is basically worth the price. Zhang Jian replied.
"Let's take a look first. ”
When he arrived at the place, Lu Tao found that this place that Zhang Jian had taken a fancy to was indeed more suitable for use as an Internet café.
Located just in front of the food street, the building is divided into three floors, the first floor for rent and the second floor for bathing.
The owner of the shop was wearing a mink coat and a big gold chain around his neck, shining, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Lu Tao brought by Zhang Jian.
"Boss, we'll come back today. Zhang Jian smiled and stepped forward to say.
"It's okay, but this rent is still what I told you yesterday, so I don't have to talk about it. The boss lit a Chinese stick and stuffed it into his mouth and said directly.
Lu Tao walked in and looked carefully, the entire floor looked like it was more than a hundred square meters, empty, and there were huge wall pillars in the middle.
"Boss, what did you do before?" Lu Tao asked directly.
The boss spit out a circle of eyes fiercely, and said directly: "I rented it to a southerner before, and that guy, like a second fool, turned this place into an ice rink." Do you think he's stupid, we're in the north for so long a winter, and if you want to skate, you're going to skate on the ice, and you're going to run a bird indoors?"
"Huh. Lu Tao smiled.
"No, I feel like I can't do it after renting for a year, so I just roll up the roll and go back, just rely on our place, next to this university, do something without making money, I have to do that thing, what a biao. “
Lu Tao looked at Zhang Jian, pulled him aside, and said, "This land is not bad, but it's too big, aren't you only 150,000? ”
Zhang Jian glared at him, and said directly: "According to me, if you want to do it, you should make it bigger, didn't you say it before, can this Internet café definitely make money? Even if the initial investment is larger, it's a big deal that we will lose a few computers first, and then make money later, and then add more." “
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jian had a good calculation, Lu Tao couldn't help but nod and agreed.
"But this place, I'm afraid it will have to be renovated at that time. "Zhang Jian's family is also a bit of a local figure, and his knowledge is naturally not low.
Lu Tao looked at the entire shop and nodded: "Well, this is also an expense, but it must be difficult in the early stage, and it will be fine after going to the road." “
After discussing it on the side, the two decided on the matter. Zhang Jian is a young man, he always has the momentum of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and is not afraid of losing, and his family can afford to lose.
"Boss, can't you lose any of this rent?" Even though the two discussed the result, in terms of this rent, they still cut the price in line with the principle of saving as much as they could.
"There's nothing to talk about, but there are a lot of people renting from my place. The boss squinted and said directly.
Zhang Jian took a step forward and said, "My parents are both from the city court, I said big brother, see if you can be a little less." Well, this negotiation has to have a back and forth, right, a little less, and we feel better. “
Thinking that it would cost a lot to decorate and buy a computer later, Zhang Jian also made up his mind at this time and brought his parents out.
"Court?" The boss was stunned and looked at Zhang Jian with some suspicion. "I said, boy, don't bluff me, if it's really the court, it's not impossible to give you less. “
When Zhang Jian heard this, he secretly felt that there was a play, and Lu Tao also nodded at him.
Doing business, most of the people who believe in making money are harmonious, and it is naturally beneficial to be able to rely on a little relationship, and the boss is not an idiot, and in this era, the management is not so strict, as long as it is not a matter of principle, it is normal to find a relationship when encountering something.
"In this way, what about me, you are more pleasing to the eye, young man, so I will give you a whole number, 80,000 a year, how about it? But I have to say okay, I will really encounter some lawsuit or something here in the future, and when the time comes, you can find you, don't refuse." ”
The rent of 80,000 yuan this year is more than 6,600 yuan a month, which is equivalent to a few hundred less a month, although it is not a large amount, but for the current Lu Tao, it is not bad.
Of course, the boss said it well, he also has his own considerations, climbing the relationship is only one aspect, this place is mainly a relatively large area, empty day is less than one day of rent, the price itself is at most more than 7000 a month, it is better to deal with it earlier, he can also get the rent early, but also save trouble.
"When will this contract be signed?" There are many precautions for renting this kind of place, such as the owner of the shop, how to pay the rent, how much the deposit, etc., and there is no contract. After the two agreed on the rental price given by the boss, Lu Tao asked directly.
"Just a few days. “
Several people discussed the specific details in detail, agreed on the date of signing the contract, and then left.
"Is this settled?" Walking on the street, Zhang Jian was still in a trance, this is not a small amount, once it is determined, even he can't believe it.
"yes, that's settled. Lu Tao also whispered.
"By the way, what did I just tell you? Do you want to think about it again?" Zhang Jian thought for a while and asked.
Lu Tao knew that he was talking about his own shares, so he couldn't help but shake his head: "I won't participate, I'll still do my own." “
The three of them found a restaurant at random to eat, Lu Tao and Li Hong went back to the dormitory, Zhang Jian went home again, saying that he was looking for his parents to get some money, if Lu Tao didn't buy shares, after all, there was still a difference of 50,000, so he had to find a way.
After returning to the dormitory, Lu Tao began to prepare for his next things.
Last Christmas, I gave apples to my brothers one by one, although he also made a few phone calls to greet him during the New Year, but after all, there are not many mobile phones, so at the beginning of the school year, the first thing is to run the relationship.
People need to communicate, and so do customers. No matter how good the relationship with you is, as long as you don't move around or contact for a while, it will slowly fade. Therefore, there is always a need for one party to take the initiative.
When Lu Tao took the train from the provincial capital, he went to the store that sold special products, and bought some local products, including hot pot ingredients, peach slices, twist flowers and the like, and packed a big bag.
Except for giving a few roommates, the rest is basically used to do relationships and maintain customers.
took out a small notebook, which recorded every customer who ran last year, in Lu Tao's eyes, every name on it was his own source of income, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off.
Naturally, there are many things to say about gifts, but what Lu Tao brings are all local specialties, and it is mainly a heart. Rao is like this, he still simply divided into categories.
For example, the professor I knew before, it was a package of hot pot base, plus some very distinctive snacks, and the packaging used looked relatively tall.
For students, it is also divided, the more important and potential customers, snacks or something will be a little more, and more ordinary ones will be a little less.
It seems that he bought a lot, but when it came to the distribution, he found that it was still not enough, Lu Tao smiled bitterly, it seems that he knew a lot of people last year.
