Chapter 12 Lease Negotiation

"Don't you just think about 20 machines? Can't you think about 50 or 100 machines? Don't you want to open our Internet cafes in all colleges and universities?" asked Fang Yi in a loud voice.

After Fang Yi asked a few questions, the entire dormitory was silent, everyone, look at me, I look at you, this is shocked.

"Fang Yi, we really haven't thought about these problems you mentioned, and now we don't even have the money to open an Internet café with 20 machines, do you think those are too far away?" Huang Tao said with a little stammer.

"Man has no foresight, There must be near-term worries, once our Internet café is opened, the business will be very hot, then someone will follow the trend, people's machines will be updated, the speed will be faster, as long as we do not develop, there will be no room for our survival after two years, only the offense is the best defense, as long as we occupy the market, we have the right to speak, we can not only earn Internet fees, we can also earn the promotion fees of various game companies in the upstream, that money is called cool, we don't have to do anything, just install their games on our machines, post a few ads”

A burst of swallowing voices came, "Fang Yi, just tell me what we should do" or the boss Huang Tao made a voice first, Fang Yi found a more funny phenomenon, when everyone is a buddy, everyone calls him Xiao Yi, and when he forms an authoritative image in everyone's minds, everyone calls him by his full name, which may also be the reason why some people lack real friends around them once they become famous.

"Investment, the most important thing is to absorb investment, which has two meanings, on the one hand, we can invest ourselves, that is, we can continue to invest the money we earn every month, and constantly expand our scale, and the second aspect is to absorb external investment, to occupy the entire market in the shortest possible time," Fang Yi said.

"Fang Yi, it's unlikely that we'll be able to absorb external investment now, right?" Yuan Jie said suspiciously.

"It's unlikely now, but as long as our first store opens, our business will attract the attention of others, and then someone will want to invest in us, and now we still have a lot of rich people in China," Fang Yi explained Then let's go back to the issue of site selection, between the results we just discussed, we can't limit the direction of choice to the short term, we must look at the problem from the perspective of development, the current location at the school gate, although it is only the second floor, but his best place is that he has more than 300 square meters, if you tighten a little, it can accommodate 120 machines" Fang Yi said.

"But there's another problem, there are no shops on the ground floor that can go up to the second floor?" Tang Chun said.

"Brother Chun, what is the main function of a low-level store we need?" Fang Yi asked rhetorically

"Is it used as a passage to enter our Internet café?" Tang Chun asked puzzled, he didn't understand why Fang Yi would ask such a question.

"Then do you need a shop as a passage?" Fang Yi asked again.

Tang Chun was dumbfounded, "As we all know, it is best to have a ground floor shop as a passage to enter, but if there is no ground floor shop, then it is possible, we can build a staircase next to it for guests to go up and down, and there is no upward passage, so we can negotiate the price with the landlord, because it is difficult for him to find someone else to rent his house except us" Fang Yi said confidently.

Hearing this, Huang Tao took the lead in applauding, and the preliminary plan for site selection was decided, then the next thing was to discuss the lease with the landlord, and everyone elected Fang Yi and Huang Tao to be responsible for this matter, and Fang Yi was also obliged to do so.

Because for the matter of renting a house, their time plan is not particularly rushed, the most important thing is money, now Fang Yi's barbecue restaurant has no property rights, and there is no way to apply for a loan from the bank, so they can only go step by step, Huang Tao called the landlord to meet together at a water bar in front of the school on Saturday.

When he got up on Saturday morning, Fang Yi deliberately dressed himself up more maturely, so that the first impression would be more stable, and Huang Tao didn't need to dress up at all, he was very mature, this guy was born in 1977, and he is now 22 years old, and he himself is relatively old, if he is 30 years old, it is estimated that no one will doubt it, so in the previous life, Fang Yi has always felt that this guy has been like this for more than ten years, and the years have not left too many traces on his face, so every time he talks about this, Huang Tao will be, the years have left traces in advance, and he is too lazy to trouble again in recent years, I guess the next time I come, I will do a lot of work at once.

The landlord's name is Zhang Hong, an uncle about 40 years old, and when he saw that two young students came to rent a room, after a short period of shock, they sat down together, ordered a drink and chatted.

"What kind of business are you two going to rent my house?" Zhang Hong said.

"We are going to start our own business and want to open an Internet café," Huang Tao replied.

"My house is 316 square meters, you can use so much, I don't rent it," Zhang Hong said

"We have a number of them, as long as your price is reasonable, then rent them all," Huang Tao said.

"2,600 yuan a month, and pay the rent once a year," Zhang Hong said.

"Mr. Zhang, if you can solve the problem from the ground floor to the second floor for us, the price of 2600 is no problem at all." Fang Yi opened his mouth and said, he said the biggest shortcoming of this house in one bite, and I don't know which person with a brain in the water came up with it when designing this house, now to enter the second floor, you must go through someone's store, it doesn't matter if you enter it from time to time, but it is used to do business, and it is a business of more than 300 square meters, the flow of people can be imagined, what is it to always pass through someone's store, and people are closed after work, and there is no need to do business upstairs.

"Well, my house has a little bit of a flaw, but my layout is there, no matter what you do, it's easy to decorate and decorate," Zhang Hong argued.

"No matter how well the decoration and decoration is, it is useless to go up without guests," Fang Yi immediately denied. "Mr. Zhang, we haven't been in this school for a day or two, both of us are juniors, and we have been studying here for three years, and your house has been vacant for three years, we say three conditions, if you think it is suitable, then we will rent it" Fang Yi had already investigated the situation of this house, so he didn't blush at all when he lied.

"What conditions do you say" Zhang Hong heard that the other party was an old student of this school, and it was not good to fool around, everything he knew, and it would make people look down on him if he said more.

"First, the price, 1800 yuan per month, the second and three months of rent-free decoration period, third, the first half a year to pay the rent on a monthly basis, half a year after half a year can be paid once a year" Fang Yi kept staring at Zhang Hong, seeing that he wanted to refuse, without waiting for him to speak, he continued, "We signed a 5-year contract at once, and the rent will rise by 200 yuan per month every year after that", hearing this, Zhang Hong's hand that had just been raised was put down again. After two minutes of silence, Zhang Hong agreed to Fang Yi's rental plan, after all, this house has been in his hands for nearly 5 years, and there is no benefit for a penny, as long as he can rent it out and have income in the account, the conditions proposed by Fang Yi are not unacceptable, and the monthly rent will increase by 200 yuan every year, so that he can charge an extra month every year.

The rental contract was finalized, and Huang Tao personally wrote a rental contract, which came into effect after both parties signed, and the address of the Internet café was officially determined.

When they returned to the dormitory, after telling the brothers the news, they all shouted in unison, as if they had seen a hundred yuan bills rushing towards them, and they were menacing and unstoppable.

Fang Yi slapped his palm, attracting everyone's attention, "Brothers, now that the address of our Internet café has been decided, we will start decorating next, I decided that we will work together every afternoon, and do it ourselves, then I will confirm with you again here, do any of you want to invest cash shares? If there is one, bring it up today, if not, let the boss start preparing our shareholder contract" Fang Yi said.

Everyone looked at each other, and there was no voice, "Fang Yi, is it okay for me to invest 5,000 yuan?" At this time, Yuan Jie raised his hand and said.

"Of course you can, then you can invest 5,000 yuan, do your parents agree?" Fang Yi confirmed to Yuan Jie

"It's the result of my discussion with my parents," Yuan Jie said.

"Okay, then your 5,000 yuan only needs to be when we purchase the computer, boss, you come to draft the shareholders' agreement, everyone will take it out and print it if there is no problem after reading it, one copy per person, Yuan Jie will calculate the shares according to 15,000 yuan, brothers, let's write in black and white, when the time comes to really divide the money, don't say who has more and who has less" Huang Tao replied with a voice, and immediately took out a pen and paper and began to draft documents.

In this way, the Century Internet Café was established, and the 6 people in the dormitory contributed 5% of each of their shares according to manpower, Yuan Jie's manpower plus 5,000 yuan in cash accounted for 7.5%, and Fang Yi alone accounted for 62.5%.
