Chapter 36 Rental Negotiations

It was already half past nine o'clock in the evening when I went home to the dormitory, and the lights would be turned off in another hour, taking advantage of this time, Fang Yi used the phone in the dormitory to call the two landlords today, and booked the time for tomorrow's interview, one was scheduled for 10 o'clock in the morning, and the other was set at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

When he got up in the morning, Fang Yi saw that Chen Zhao was going to class after breakfast, and quickly stopped him, "Brother Zhao, the people in the software company have settled down."

"It's all arranged, don't worry, they will officially start working today," Chen Zhao said.

"Very good, Brother Zhao, my recent work has been focused on the University of Electronic Science and Technology, and I didn't go to class and completely relied on my brothers to help answer," Fang Yi said.

"That's no problem, but many of our teachers don't know that you are a person, you have to socialize before the final exam, otherwise the final exam situation is worrying," Chen Zhao said and ran towards the teaching building.

After separating from Chen Zhao, Fang Yi also walked to the school gate, today I want to talk about renting a house, now the time is 8:45, and there is only a little more than an hour before the agreed 10 o'clock, if you take the bus and shake it slowly, it is estimated that you will be late, Fang Yi played a wild at the school gate, and negotiated the price of 30 yuan.

Sitting in the 4 into the old and new Xiali car, it only took 35 minutes to get to the University of Electronic Science and Technology, there is still a means of transportation, at this time in 2000, the car family represents the rich, now a Fukang car to do a good job to 16, 70,000, a Xiali also to more than 100,000, the current part-time income and the price of the car, buying a car is really a distant thing.

Fang Yi went to the door of the two shops to carefully observe the flow of people in the two shops, the geographical environment is very good, mainly because the current two stores will not operate.

In the fruit shop, Fang Yi saw the landlord of this store, a middle-aged man about fifty years old, Fang Yi first introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Fang Yi, I called you yesterday, I want to rent your shop to do business"

"Yo, Xiaofang, hello, hello, my name is Chen Lei, I am the landlord of this store, and the four shops connected next to this are all mine," said the landlord Chen Lei.

"Boss Chen, is the upstairs house yours," Fang Yi said as he stood on the commercial street and looked at the two floors above.

"The upstairs is also mine, and now it is still empty, and I plan to decorate it and make it into a hotel, so that my wife can run it," Chen Lei said.

Fang Yi took a look at the second floor of the shops on both sides of the street, and saw that they were basically empty, and only the shops on the first floor were used for business, Fang Yi sighed, this is really a waste, such a good location, such a good flow of people, it is a pity not to use it to make money in business.

"Boss Chen, what about the third floor, is the third floor yours?" Fang Yi continued to ask

"Of course the third floor is mine, I was four shops at once, three floors," the landlord replied.

"Can I go up and have a look?" Fang Yi said

"Of course", as he spoke, he led Fang Yi through the fruit shop and went up to the second floor from a staircase in front of him, and Fang Yi saw the dusty second floor.

"When my shop was built, it was built according to the large bay, 4 shops, each 5 meters wide and 10 meters deep, each of which is 50 square meters, so the second floor has 200 square meters, and the third floor and the second floor are the same layout," the landlord said.

"How are you going to rent it?" Fang Yi asked.

"Each shop costs 5,000 yuan per month," the landlord said.

"The boss who makes unforgettable fruits is going to be transferred, who will do it and die if you have such a high rent," Fang Yi said, "How are you going to rent the second floor?"

"Xiaofang, our street is basically this price, if you want the second floor, I can also rent it, even if the second floor is 2,500 yuan a room," the landlord said

"Boss Chen, I came to talk to you about business sincerely, you are too insincere in your words, you don't want to bully my young age, right?" Fang Yi said deliberately, because he had already understood the current rental market outside, "The rent of the boss who sells fruit is 4,000 yuan per month, but you told me that it is 5,000 yuan, and your second floor has been vacant for so long and no one rents it, when I ask you, you want 2,500 yuan a month, you are no different from robbing money"

was robbed by Fang Yi for a while, and Boss Chen couldn't speak, mainly because he had already asked the rent, "Then how many months are you going to give?"

"Boss Chen, let's do this, I'll come up with a plan, if you think it's okay then I'll rent your room, if not, then we have made friends, how about it?" Fang Yi asked.

"Okay, you say," said the landlord

"I still rent your shop for 4,000 yuan per month, don't let you suffer, the 4 rooms on the second floor are 1,500 yuan each, which is 6,000 yuan per month on the second floor, which is higher than a shop below you, and I also rented the 4 rooms upstairs, 750 yuan each, that is, 3,000 yuan per month on the third floor, so I will pay you 13,000 yuan per month, what do you think?" Fang Yi said.

The landlord Chen Lei's eyes lit up when he heard Fang Yi say this, what a good thing, in the past, he could only rent out the following 4 shops, with a monthly income of 16,000 yuan, but now he rents out the second and third floors together, and his monthly income is 28,000 yuan, which is almost 1 times the previous income.

Fang Yi saw that the landlord was about to agree, so he quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Boss Chen, wait, I still have a few requirements for reaching our business, and you will give me an answer after listening, first, I will rent your first and second floors first, and then rent your third floor after half a year; second, in terms of the payment method of rent, I will pay monthly in the first half of the year, and pay first and then monthly; third, for the first and second floors, you need to give me a 20-day renovation period; fourth, you need to install a steel frame staircase with a width of 1.5 meters for me at the back of the house; fifth, We need to sign a contract for at least 5 years, you can think about these 5 points."

"Well, you've got a lot of them, and I'll have to think about it," the landlord said.

"Okay, anyway, I have two other families to talk about in the afternoon, we need to be quick about this matter, you need to answer me before 8 o'clock tomorrow night whether to rent or not" Fang Yi said.

"Okay, okay, I'll go home and discuss it with my wife and I'll answer you, and Xiaofang, how much does it cost to make that steel-framed staircase?" said the landlord

"Well, I made one in the eastern suburbs a few years ago, from the first floor to the second floor, and it cost 5,000 yuan at that time, and if it was to the third floor, it was estimated to be about 7,000 yuan," Fang Yi said.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll get back to you as soon as possible," the landlord said.

After talking, I went downstairs, it was close to 12 o'clock, and the students usually came out to eat after class at 12 o'clock, Fang Yi had to eat before the students got out of class, otherwise as soon as their army came out, no matter what they ate, it was one word, squeeze.

Fang Yi began to walk around the commercial street, and when he walked to the Lanzhou ramen restaurant, a beautiful image naturally flashed in his heart, the NX girl. When I walked into the ramen restaurant, there was no one in the restaurant.

Roared "Boss comes to a bowl of beef ramen", Niu La is the abbreviation of beef ramen, and the other is the beef knife, the abbreviation of beef knife cut noodles.

As soon as the boss heard this, he knew that it was a regular customer who came to the door, "Okay, come right away"

Solved this bowl of hot beef ramen in five minutes, and then drank two mouthfuls of noodle soup, feeling that the whole body was comfortable, and the pores of the whole body were stretched. At this time, there was already a crowd of people at the back door of the school, and a huge army of eaters came.

Fang Yi looked at the watch, at 12:10, there were nearly 3 hours left before the next landlord agreed to go down at 3 o'clock, Fang Yi wandered around the commercial street, and walked to the end of an apartment community, looking at the house is estimated to be a building in the 80s, and looking at the sign at the door "Construction Community", it seems that Chen Zhao gave Zhao Li to rent this community. Seeing the advertising board at the entrance of the community posted a lot of housing rental information, I walked over to see, now my work has been focused on the University of Electronic Science and Technology, every day from here to run back to the school dormitory to live is too troublesome, if always black in the economy is also not cost-effective, renting a single room is the wisest choice.

Fang Yi browsed from left to right, there were three information for renting single rooms, and in these three information, there were two shared rooms, and only one was a one-bedroom suite for rent. Fang Yi recorded his phone number and found a public phone and called it.

The landlord's father answered the phone just now, he lived next to the rental house, asked Fang Yi to go over to see the house now, Fang Yi followed the building number to find the rental house, this house is in the center of the community, it takes about 7 minutes to walk to the gate of the community, there is already an old man in his 60s standing there in the predetermined place, Fang Yi walked up and picked up the head, the old man took Fang Yi to the third floor and took him to visit the house.

Fifteen minutes later, Fang Yi came downstairs, he already had a bunch of keys in his hand, Fang Yi was quite satisfied with this house, one bedroom and one living room are small, but it is still good to live alone, the house has been renovated, although it is already a little old, but it does not affect the use, the basic living appliances and living facilities are relatively complete, you can move in with your bag, you don't need to carry out major transformations, the rent is 350 yuan a month, this price is actually not low in the current market situation, this price can be rented a three-bedroom house in the business college, because it is more satisfied, Fang Yi did not entangle with the old man that 30, 50's.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, Fang Yi was going to go to the supermarket to buy some necessities for life, such as quilts, towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc., with these things, Fang Yi could live here tonight.
