Chapter 86: New Store Location
After the meeting, Fang Yi and Zhu Cheng ran to the intersection of Guanghua Village next to the University of Finance and Economics and set up a stall for lunch.
"Brother Yi, this Guanghua Village intersection is really prosperous," Zhu Cheng said while eating noodles while looking at the bustling crowd.
"No, you see that there is not only a university of more than 20,000 people here, but there is a living gathering area in the second ring road to the city, and there are five gardens outside, although the sales have not been very good in the past two years, but the population is concentrated, there are about 50,000 or 60,000 people living there, and we are doing catering is the business of people flow, this place is really good" Fang Yi sighed and said.
"Brother Yi, then let's give this area to Zheng Bing's kid, listen to what you said just now, this place is a treasure of feng shui" Zhu Cheng thought of such a good place, and it was a little embarrassing to let others open snacks.
"Xiaocheng, you can't think like this, to say catering, our Sichuan cuisine is famous at home and abroad, to say delicious, we Sichuan people in the country ranked second, and did not dare to consider themselves first, and we are still one of the most populous provinces in China, so just in SC is not afraid to find a good place to open a store, our company's development strategy is asset-light management, light assets you know, that is, we don't invest money, but also to do business, you are now the general manager of Century Barbecue, you have to have a pattern, once our strategic direction is formulated, the first decision we make, every step must be subject to this strategy, serve this strategy, you knowFang Yi taught Zhu Chengdao a lesson, for this brother who grew up wearing open-gear pants together, Fang Yi sometimes feels a little ruthless.
Zhu Cheng touched his head and said, "I don't have a pattern, it doesn't matter if I don't have thoughts, the key is that Brother Yi, you are a little good, as long as you say where you point, I will fight wherever I go, there is no other word"
Fang Yi had no choice but to sigh, it seems that he has to find a capable person to be the leader of this barbecue, "Xiaocheng, if I let a newcomer come in to be the general manager of Century Barbecue and let you be his deputy, will you be convinced?"
Zhu Cheng thought for a while and said, "As long as it is Brother Yi's decision, I promise to support it and resolutely implement it", Fang Yi looked at Zhu Cheng's eyes, saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and put his heart down and said, "Let's go and see the shop that Zheng Bing fancies"
After walking for less than two minutes, Zhu Chengcheng took Fang Yi to the intersection of Guanghua Village and the Second Ring Road, confirmed the house number, pointed to a two-story building and said, "Brother Yi, this is this place"
Fang Yi looked back left and right to confirm the area he was in, and then looked at the direction of Zhu Cheng's finger, this is not the location of the previous Spring Department Store, in two years, 300 meters away from here, there will be a Carrefour supermarket, which will become the most prosperous place in Guanghua Village.
Fang Yi took Zhu Cheng around the small building, "How many square meters is his shop?"
Zhu Cheng thought for a while and said, "I didn't ask for details, anyway, there has to be a 300 meters."
Fang Yi looked at the shop next to him and said, "Is the small supermarket next to him also the landlord's?"
Zhu Cheng said, "Brother Yi, don't ask me, I really don't know, I just talked to Zheng Bing on the phone, so I called Zheng Bing over and said okay"
"Okay, let him come over and let's have a good talk, I've only met once, and I feel quite right," Fang Yi said.
After two minutes, Zhu Cheng closed the phone and said to Fang Yi, "Brother Yi has been contacted, he will arrive in about two hours"
Fang Yi looked at his watch and said, "Then let's go to see the shop on the western front of the sheep you said first, and then come back and wait for him."
Zhu Cheng took Fang Yi to Shuhan Road on the Yangxi Line, Zhu Cheng pointed to a shop and said, "Brother Yi, this is the shop, the location is very good, but the price of rent is a little higher"
Fang Yi looked around and said to himself: It turned out to be this place, how could it be so coincidental, this place is the hotel where Fang Yi got married in the previous life, and said, "This store can accommodate sixteen or seventeen tables, if you count the private rooms, you can put a total of 25 tables, but if it is changed to a small table in our barbecue restaurant, put 40 tables, and arrange about 160 seats."
Zhu Cheng asked in surprise, "Brother Yi, how do you know so clearly?"
Fang Yi realized that he was talking a lot, and hurriedly replied, "I heard a friend mention this place two days ago, and when I came over, I found out that it was here, tell me how much rent they want?"
Zhu Cheng said, "The total area of this store is 420 square meters, they used to do catering, separated by a kitchen of about 80 square meters, but we definitely don't need so much, if you don't use the private room, and then put the kitchen location out of some, I have roughly calculated, there is no problem with placing 45 tables, and the landlord asks for 160,000 rents per year."
Fang Yi thought about it, the name of this area should be externalized, because it is located outside the second ring road, and there is a large residential concentration area called internalization in the second ring road, and the total number of people living in the internal and external transformation should be no less than 300,000, Fang Yi experienced the Wenchuan earthquake that year, all the people ran to the open space, the entire second ring road is full of people, people often say that there are more than 10,000 people boundless, and the scene of hundreds of thousands of people together makes him still remember it vividly. If you say it this way, the rent of 160,000 yuan a year for this place is still not bad. Turned his head to Zhu Cheng and said, "This place is very good, rent it, open a store as soon as possible, you will press the rent again, if the other party really does not reduce the price, write the lease term longer, preferably 10 years, we have the right to sublease"
Zhu Cheng nodded and said, "Brother Yi, I know, I will contact this matter tomorrow to ensure that it is done properly."
When the two of them returned to Guanghua Village, an hour had just passed, and Fang Yi saw that the time was still early and said, "Xiaocheng, let's go to Caida to see if we can find a suitable address to expand our Internet café here."
Fang Yi took Zhu Cheng and began to walk around the back door of the University of Finance, Zhu Cheng walked and asked, "Brother Yi, how did we get to the back door to see, why don't we go to the front door?"
Fang Yi knocked on Zhu Cheng's head and said, "You pig head, the front door of Caida is Xinchengwen Highway, there is no business there, only a small number of shops on the street opposite him, but Xinchengwen Road is full of traffic, students generally do not enter and exit from the front door, let alone cross the road to the opposite side of the Internet, and when you come out to see the shops in the future, you have to put yourself in the perspective of customers, and even if you don't want to go to the place, then there will definitely be no business in this place."
The two of them did not see a subleased shop in the commercial street, in this kind of bustling road, there are many people who pay attention to him, generally as long as you have the idea of transferring, there is no need to post an advertisement, and someone will take the initiative to come to the door and transfer away.
After turning around, both of them were tired of walking, the two found a roadside stone pillar and sat down, Fang Yi said, "Xiao Zhu, go over there and buy two bottles of water to drink, I'm dying of thirst."
After a while, Zhu Cheng came over with two bottles of water, and said while opening them for Fang Yi, "Brother Yi, I saw that there is a shop for rent above the small supermarket over there, but it is on the third floor."
Fang Yi took two gulps and said, "Let's go and take a look, I'm idle anyway."
After turning a corner, Fang Yi saw the place Zhu Cheng said, which was somewhat similar to the shape of the commercial plaza in the previous life, but now Wanda in China has not yet risen, and the model of the comprehensive shopping center is not clear, and this place has a little bit of commercial advertising.
Fang Yi said to himself: Guanghua Plaza, it's a bit interesting, how come I don't have any impression of this place in my memory in my previous life.
Although Zhu Cheng said that it was the third floor, Fang Yi saw that the stairs next to him were still very convenient, he built a pergola on his forehead with both hands, looked at the apartment building above and said, "This should be a commercial and residential complex, theirs should have a professional property management company, I'll go to the top to have a look, you go to their property management company and ask what the rental method is."
Saying that, he went to the third floor, and went up to the third floor in one breath, Fang Yi saw that the entire third floor has not been rented out yet, there is an area on both sides of the stairs and an overall space of about 500 square meters, through the transparent glass Fang Yi can see the internal structure clearly, there is no column in the middle of the all-steel frame, no matter what kind of business such a place is very good decoration and layout, Fang Yi walked more than ten meters inside, although it is also the same structure, but it is much worse in lighting, there is a public toilet in the middle of the entire third floor, Fang Yi walked in to take a look, the area is not small, it seems that the owner's thinking is still relatively advanced。
When Fang Yi sighed, Zhu Cheng came over with a salesperson of about 20, and Zhu Cheng said, "Brother Yi, this is Manager Xiao of the property management office."
Manager Xiao shook Fang Yi's hand in the first two sentences and said, "Mr. Fang, my name is Xiao Wen, I am the manager of this property, you can just call me Xiao Xiao."
Fang Yi greeted him with a smile and said, "Manager Xiao, why haven't you rented out this third floor?"
Xiao Wen should have heard the original meaning of Fang Yi's words, and said with a smile, "Mr. Fang, our plate was only delivered at the beginning of this year, you see that our first and second floors have been rented out, and on the third floor, we want to recruit some businesses with higher grades that can drive the popularity of the entire square to settle in, and recently we will have rejected several applications that are not very suitable for entry." , This guy doesn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, Fang Yi just said that people's business is not good and they can't rent out, and they immediately replied that this place should choose a business, not all cats and dogs can come here to rent a house.
Fang Yi was bored and asked, "Manager Xiao, then what kind of leasing method do you have, and how do you calculate the rent?"
Xiao Wen looked at Fang Yi and then at Zhu Cheng, he really didn't see the strength to be able to rent this house from their age, but he still said, "Our third floor is 15 yuan per square meter per month, plus a property management fee of 1 yuan per square meter per month."
