Chapter 21 Shop Rent Diving
Film and television dramas must have dramatic conflicts and tension, so that the audience will be willing to watch them, but life is plain and bland.
Li Jiaming had no intention of becoming a person in the story, let alone a legend, so he smashed out the six storefronts of himself and his second uncle, and continued to be his good brother, good student, and good boss with a shrunken head.
But there are some things, since you have made a start, it is not that you can escape if you don't want to get involved anymore.
Due to various reasons, several owners who have high business profits and are in urgent need of stores have indeed earned the expected National Day dividends after renting their stores. On the whole street, there is a row of shops in Li Jiaming and their row, as well as the seven or eight shops in front of the township government, and the rest are scaffolding or stalls whose goods cannot be sold at a high price.
But as more and more shops were completed on the street, the rent of the shop speculated by Li Jiaming did not fall, and it remained at 700 yuan a month, and the slightly deviated ones were priced at more than 400 yuan. Clothing, shoes, motorcycles are all high-profit goods, Boss Zeng and Boss Lin don't care about the high rent of the store, but how can the owners who sell Nan Grocery Department Store afford such a high store rent?
Since you can't afford it, then you don't rent it, someone does the business of cutting off heads, and no one does the business of buying and selling at a loss.
Not everyone who does a shop on the street does business on the street, even if he does business himself, but looking at the vacant storefront and someone asks if no one rents it, can this feel good? One day, two days, a week, two weeks, seeing that the store was always rented, the shopkeepers finally panicked, and the rent of the store suddenly dived. In less than a month, the rent of the store fell from 700 yuan to 350 yuan.
Although the economic development has been very rapid in the past two years, the consumption power is there, and this is an era when the monthly salary of state cadres is only more than 300 yuan. Chongxiang is just a small market town, and how can a businessman who does small business afford a shop rent of more than 300 yuan compared to the large population in the city?
Then it will drop again, and the monthly rent of a slightly more partial store will fall from 350 to 255 again. But it is the nature of people to chase up and down, and those small businessmen see that the rent of the shop is still falling, even if they can afford it, they don't make a move. Can you make some money by opening a store now, is there a lot of store rent you can save?
It is said that this matter has nothing to do with Li Jiaming, the figurine author of the fried shop, his shop has been rented out, and they have signed an agreement, but in fact the relationship is very big.
Businessmen can settle accounts, and those who can't settle accounts can't be businessmen, seeing that the rents of the storefronts on the street have plummeted, the two tenants signed by Li Jiaming regretted it. The huge difference between five hundred and two hundred and five, and the price to be paid every month for thirty-six months, is enough to make them forget how happy they were to rent in the first place.
Lin Quanbao and Zeng Ningsheng don't care, the clothes and motorcycles they sell are highly profitable, not to mention that they all threw the store to their wives and went to run Li Jiaming to them themselves
refers to the way to wealth; Boss Yu, who sells shoes, has more or less psychologically balanced after Li Jiaming's explanation. The location is good, and the business is too busy on the National Day, which fully proves that this is a prime location, and there is a room for thirty yuan a month upstairs, and the corridor locked by the iron door can also be used as a warehouse.
But Chen Hesheng, who was 100 yuan cheaper than him at the beginning, still regretted it, just as Li Jiaming gave him an analysis at the beginning, he really shouldn't squeeze into a prime location as a seller of living capital. On the National Day, the business in the store next to him is too busy, and he has a lot of customers, and occasionally two or three customers are buying some vegetables and the like.
In the two months since renting this shop, Chen Hesheng has calculated the accounts, and instead of making money by deducting the rent of the store, he posted more than 200 yuan into it. It really made him angry. There are still three or four months before the peak season of the capital business, so can it keep losing money? Chen Hesheng knew that Li Jiaming was only responsible for talking, but the money went into his second aunt's pocket, so he also targeted his second aunt and wanted to renegotiate the store rent. Not to mention that it is cheaper than other stores, at least it should not be too expensive.
The second aunt is a face-saving person, not to mention that Chen Hesheng is a distant relative, and after being rubbed twice by him, he said distressedly: "Jiaming, what should I do?" I've talked about it a few times, and the shops on the street have begun to drop in price, or maybe we have less? ”
Li Jiaming signed the small notebook handed over by Jin Mei, handed it back to the elated little duty student, and said helplessly: "Second aunt, how much does he want to drop?" One hundred or two hundred? If you can't do it, even if you let him break the contract, we can't do it. ”
The second aunt is a decent person, she used to be poor and gave Da Yan and Er Ya tea money every year, but now that she is rich, she is even more afraid that others will say that she will not recognize people if she is rich. What's more, what He Sheng said also makes sense, everyone on the street has dropped, but his own family does not fall, which seems to be a bit excessive.
"Jiaming, the few houses on the street that have been negotiated will not be rented, if we don't lower, we will be scolded to death."
Scold, scold, anyway, half a year's rent is in hand, what do you love. When I told him, he didn't listen, and he always talked about relatives, if he wasn't afraid that he would talk nonsense about his family's wealth, he wouldn't talk about kinship, so he wouldn't want to rent the store to him. Of course, Li Jiaming didn't dare to say this to his second aunt, lest he be scolded by her behind closed doors.
"Second aunt, you can't give him this head! If we give him a downgrade, what will happen to Boss Yu? What about the tour boss who subleases Lin Quanbao's store?
If we drop this time, as soon as they feel that the rent of the store is too high, they will come over to make trouble, do we still want to live? When He Sheng came to me, I told him that his business was not very profitable, and there was no need to rent such a good storefront, but he didn't listen. ”
As soon as Li Jiaming finished speaking, Man Mei ran in again, also holding a small notebook in her hand, "Fifth brother, I finished washing the dishes, and I didn't break a single one!" ”
"Well, there's progress!"
took the small notebook, Li Jiaming signed a name worth a dime, and the second aunt, who was worried just now, wanted to laugh.
The second aunt is a person who is used to doting on children, the family used to be poor, but now the store can earn 15000 a month, her husband can earn 10,000 or 20,000 a year, and the store in Tonggu is making money every day, she simply follows the children to accompany them to study and take care of their lives. But what she didn't expect was that in addition to three meals a day, housework such as washing dishes, sweeping the floor, and taking out the garbage were all snatched up by the four little guys. The housework was not enough, and the four of them took turns on duty as if they were at school.
When the full sister asked for an autograph, the voice of the TV sounded in the living room, "Gourd baby gourd baby, seven flowers on a vine." I am not afraid of wind and rain,...... La-la-la-la'. A few little guys started watching cartoons, they were the seven skins that Li Jiaming didn't remember, they dared to walk the rivers and lakes before they even had their hair grown, and they all looked pink and cute, which was simply the favorite of children.
Hearing the sound of the TV in the living room, the second aunt also hurriedly urged: "Go to self-study, I can't live this day, I'll go back tomorrow and let Chaju help you make food."
"Oh", Li Jiaming hurriedly got up and went to school with the third sister and Mao Tong. Although he has complete freedom to study and can stay at home and study on his own, it is too noisy to have four children at home, so it is better to read books and do test papers at school quietly.
The three sisters and brothers went downstairs, and just after walking the embankment to the side street, they bumped into several bald young men who were smoking cigarettes and wearing bells and whistles. These years, those who have shaved their heads are not good at stubble, but the young man in the lead smiled at Li Jiaming and said, "Jiaming, is my sister serious in studying?" ”
"Hehe, she still wants you to take care of it? She's the most serious student in our class, so don't worry about it. ”
Li Jiaming smiled and said a few words, and the bald young man took a can of 'Jianlibao' from the store next to him and threw it over, and said with a smile: "Jiaming, you help me teach my sister, and if there is anything in the future, report my name, if someone dares to fight you, I will help you kill him!" ”
This is the overlord drink of this year, the patent of the gangsters. This is also the patent of the gangsters, anyway, it doesn't cost money, and they blow it. That is, Wang Congshu, who was drunk by him for nothing just now, is a native of Zaoling, Hunan Province, and wants to try it for a local person?
Gangsters, it's nature to bully the soft and be afraid of the hard!
The funny Li Jiaming didn't want to offend people, reached out to catch the bottle of Jianlibao that he threw over, raised the can like a wine glass, opened it and took a sip to Mao Tong, and smiled at the young man who was full of gangsterism. The young man who knew Li Jiaming's temperament didn't care, and continued to patrol the streets with a few subordinates, as if he was more imposing than the secretary and the township chief.
After walking more than ten meters away, he looked back at the hair of Jianlibao and whispered: "Jiaming, this Wang Duan is quite kind, and he greets you every time he meets him." ”
"Hairy! I tell you, if you dare to associate with him, I will tell Uncle Chuanzong and let him pick your skin! ”
Mao Li, who was a head taller than the third sister, shrank his neck, closed his mouth and continued to drink his Jianlibao, this thing is delicious but it is too expensive.
Li Jiaming said impatiently: "Third sister, you can't say that, people, you must have friends from three religions and nine streams, just don't make deep friends." Mao Yan, I'll go to the store just now tomorrow and pay for it. ”
"Jiaming, you don't know, he doesn't pay attention to righteousness, doesn't care about the face of his relatives, doesn't recognize money, and dares to do anything for money. ……”
After the third sister finished denouncing, Li Jiaming smiled and said: "So I said that Mo Shenjiao, I know him, don't mess with him, I have an acquaintance face, and he is embarrassed to be embarrassed by a little thing." Besides, I've also heard about Wang Duan, and it's reasonable for him to help people collect some money, but now there are still people who don't give gifts? It's just that in the past, everyone was used to asking people to help give gifts without giving money, and he took money instead of gifts, so he ruined his reputation. ”
"Yes", the third sister thought carefully for a while, and then she completely understood, and smiled embarrassedly.
Li Jiaming also smiled, and turned his head to educate Mao Tong, who has begun to enter puberty, this age is the most impulsive and bad learner.
"Mao Yan, don't look at people on the surface, what the third sister said is also right, you don't look at Wang Duan seems to be very kind, that's because you didn't provoke him. If you provoke him, you will either not pay or you will be beaten, and he will go to jail just because of the fight? It's not that our family has no money, so don't be as tough and domineering as them, and let people poke their backs. ”
I want to go to college and take a public job in the future, how can I mix with someone like Wang Duan? After drinking Jianlibao in a few sips, the hairy stone that felt delicious smacked his lips, poured the jar into his mouth again, and threw it into the garbage heap next to him when he couldn't pour it out, and promised very happily, "Hmm".
