Li Zheng said again that the Internet café was due and the landlord was unwilling to renew the lease, Luo Wei stood firmly on Brother Li's side after hearing this, and loudly condemned: "The landlord is definitely deliberately bad, he just sees that the Internet café is making money, and he is unwilling to rent it to us." Brother Li, did you say that the landlord wanted to increase the rent and deliberately said that he would not rent?"

Li Zhengyi said: "No, besides, I also asked the landlord, as long as you are willing to renew the lease, there is no problem with adding money, you can negotiate." The problem is that the landlord does not talk to you about renewing the lease at all, only saying that the lease will not be rented when it expires, and the façade will be repurposed for other purposes. ”

"Definitely an excuse. Luo Wei has been active in Yangcheng for a few months, and his knowledge has increased a lot, and then he said with great certainty, "The landlord should have seen that the Internet café business was booming and wanted to open an Internet café." I suspect that he had been thinking about it since the beginning of the year, and if it weren't for the contract restrictions, I'm afraid I would have driven us away long ago. ”

The three of them complained and began to discuss where to start looking. In the end, it was decided that Luo Wei would go to Xiangning Normal University, Li Zheng would go to the direction of the downtown commercial street, and the cross-eyed would be around the gymnasium. When you find the right place, don't ask for a price first, just write down the address and contact information.

Before leaving, Li Zhengyi specially called Luo Wei, handed him an address and 2,000 yuan, and then said: "Send me the money to this address, and from next month, before the 10th of each month, I will send 2,000 yuan to this address." I told my aunt that you just need to remember to pick it up on time and send it on time. ”

Luo Wei asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?

"Yes, every month, a little compensation. Li Zhengyi was silent for a long time, "Don't ask anything else, do what I say, anyway, you come forward, I don't want to come out." ”

Luo Wei took the order and left.

Li Zhengyi got on the bus to the city center and rushed to the commercial street in more than 20 minutes. The area around the commercial street is dominated by shops, and all kinds of shops are distributed on both sides of the street, and many roads intersect, forming the most prosperous commercial center in Qingyun District.

The most lively area of the commercial street is the main characteristic street of the commercial street, that is, the commercial pedestrian street. The pedestrian street is about four or five hundred meters from east to west, the street is about 15 meters wide, and there are temporary stalls in the middle of the street.

There are seven floors of buildings on both sides of the street, and each floor is connected by cross-street passages at intervals of several tens of meters, and the overall layout is very atmospheric.

The first floor is full of boutique clothing stores, and there are all kinds of brand specialists. The second floor focuses on accessories, the third floor focuses on food, and the fourth floor begins to be more miscellaneous, with all kinds of shops.

The Internet café that Li Zhengyi is looking for is located on the fourth floor, but the rent here is expensive. There are several Internet cafes on the fourth floor, which are very good, but when you ask the rent, 80,000 yuan a year, there are only more than 100 square meters.

The flow of people here is still relatively large, before the popularization of home computers, although the rent of Internet cafes in the commercial street is expensive, it will definitely not be a loss. If you really can't find a suitable location in Qingyun District, you can only rent a storefront on this side of the pedestrian street, and it's a big deal to make a little less money every year.

After walking around twice, there are a few suitable shops that are more in line with Li Zhengyi's requirements, but this side of the pedestrian street is the last alternative, so I won't ask for the time being. After casually strolling around for a while, he suddenly remembered that Zhuang Xiangqiu had said before that it seemed that he had opened a specialty store here on the pedestrian street, and he didn't know where it was.

While strolling along the storefront on the first floor of the pedestrian street, Li Zhengyi saw a familiar figure from the window of a shop, and when he looked at the door, he saw all kinds of women's underwear of different colors and styles, and he suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly retracted his head.

When the store guide saw Li Zhengyi, he wanted to say hello, but found that there was no one behind him, so he stopped talking with a different face. I must have thought that this big boy was probing his brain obscenely in the underwear store, maybe he was a bad boy with some special purpose.

Li Zhengyi was hesitating to leave, when a woman in the store turned her head and happened to see him, she didn't care at first, but when she turned her head, she took a closer look, only to find that it was an acquaintance, and she hurriedly came out to say hello.

The woman who came out was indeed the familiar figure that Li Zhengyi saw just now, it was Zhuang Xiangqiu, who said before that he was opening a shop here. Seeing her come out to say hello, he asked, "I didn't expect you to open a women's underwear store, and I almost made an embarrassment." ”

Zhuang Xiangqiu said with a smile: "What's so embarrassing, don't so many men accompany their wives out to buy underwear? Why don't you come in and sit down, I'm a little busy now, and I'll have a drink when I'm busy." ”

"Then you're busy, I'll go first. Li Zhengyi was a little embarrassed, standing at the door and being looked at like a monkey by the women who came in and out.

"You wait. Zhuang Xiangqiu returned to the store, and after a while, he came out again and said, "Let's go, I'll ask the salesperson to get it for me, there is a café on the third floor here, I'll invite you to have a drink." ”

Li Zhengyi said: "I'm so embarrassed to delay your business." ”

"It's okay, I just want to take a break. ”

The two went upstairs nearby, found the coffee house, and each ordered a cup of instant coffee.

Li Zhengyi said: "I see that your store has a good business, and there are quite a lot of customers. ”

"It's okay, this store doesn't expect it to make money, it's enough to protect the capital. I'm purely bored at home looking for something to do. I haven't figured it out yet, why did you suddenly come here today?" Zhuang Xiangqiu asked rhetorically while stirring coffee.

Li Zhengyi said: "Come here and take a look at the storefront. ”

"Want to open a store here?" Zhuang Xiangqiu was surprised, "Isn't your Internet café running well?

Li Zheng explained the need to relocate the Internet café, and then said: "If you can't rent a suitable store in Qingyun District, then you can only come here to try, but the rent is expensive." ”

Zhuang Xiangqiu picked up the coffee and took a sip: "There is a reason why it is expensive, this side belongs to the most prosperous commercial center in Qingyun District, and the pedestrian commercial street built by the district government is not an exaggeration." If you rent a storefront to open an Internet café, only the fourth floor or above can have a large storefront, an area of 100 square meters, and the rent will cost 80,000 a year. ”

Li Zhengyi sighed and said: "So it's not appropriate, just take this side as an alternative for the time being." ”

Zhuang Xiangqiu put down the cup and said, "I remember that your Internet café doesn't seem to be big, how many machines are there?"

"76 units. ”

"Not so much, how big is your store, can you put seventy or eighty computers?"

Li Zhengyi explained with a smile: "The next door is also mine, and I bought it last month, a total of 76 machines. ”

"It's a bit surprising, the profit of the Internet café business is so high?" Zhuang Xiangqiu sighed with a little doubt, "It seems that you have only opened the Internet café for a short time, why did you expand to nearly 80 units at once?"

Li Zhengyi didn't answer well, so he only said that he had a little deposit, and he saw that he was going to sell it next door. In fact, I laughed secretly in my heart, if it wasn't for other means, how could it be possible to expand the scale of one and a half times in more than two months, and the money grabbing was not so fast.
