The next day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Xiaohan got up early and summoned Duan Yu, Dai Zong, and Wei Yixiao.

Give them new clothes, help them shave their beards and cut their hair short, and teach them how to use the phone.

Finally, he locked them in his room and ordered them to learn the common sense of life and the map of Sioux City.

Then I went to the street to find a suitable store, and planned to use one as a courier outlet.

After walking around the street, I finally found a storefront room with a rental sign on the corner.

Judging from the layout of the exterior of the store and the billboards that have not been completely removed, it was a dry cleaner that was previously operated.

The stainless steel roller shutter door was pushed to the top, Zhang Xiaohan stood at the door and looked inside, roughly estimating that this store should be about seventy square meters.

The interior is divided into two different areas by a partition.

It is quite suitable for sorting express parcels, saving time and reconstructing.

"Is anyone there?" Zhang Xiaohan knocked on the door and asked, "Is this store going to be rented?" ”

Someone in the inner compartment looked up at the sound and showed a delicate face, a young woman, who looked like she was twenty-eight or nineteen years old.

The woman walked out around the partition, put aside the small shovel and iron dustpan in her hand, took off her gauze gloves, and said to Zhang Xiaohan apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm busy." Would you like to sit down and drink some water? ”

Zhang Xiaohan looked at her.

A woman dressed very plainly, with a red T-shirt and white jeans, simple but not simple.

There is no powder on the face, and there is no makeup, which has a charm.

The woman handed Zhang Xiaohan a cup of poured warm water, obviously seeing that he was younger than herself, and enthusiastically introduced: "Hello little brother, I am the owner of this store, my name is Lin Fang, you can call me Sister Fang." ”

"Oh, Sister Fang is good." Zhang Xiaohan took the water cup, held it in his hand and said with a smile: "Can I ask you why this store is rented?" Also, is the rent calculated on a monthly or annual basis? How much per month? How much per year? ”

Lin Fang moved two chairs, one sat down, and the other pushed to Zhang Xiaohan's legs.

Zhang Xiaohan was not polite, sat down, and waited quietly for her reply.

Lin Fang lifted the bangs in her ears and straightened them out, and said with a wry smile: "You saw the billboard outside, right?" This used to be my own dry cleaner, but the business in the town was too poor to make ends meet, so it was better to sell it out and collect some net rent, without taking such a big risk. ”

This reason also makes sense, in a small township like Qinghe Town, the laundry business is already difficult to do.

After all, country people are not as particular as city people, and if their clothes are dirty, they throw them in the washing machine and wash them.

If you really don't have a washing machine, get a large basin and put water to wash it by hand, the effect is the same, and few people are willing to spend money to dry clean it in the store.

"What about rent?" Zhang Xiaohan groaned: "Which way do you plan to rent out?" ”

Lin Fang smiled, obviously not planning to talk to him about this issue.

Instead, he looked up and looked outside, puzzled: "Little brother, where are your parents?" Since you want to talk about rent, when it comes to contracts, let your parents come. ”

Zhang Xiaohan was speechless, because he was young, he was despised by a woman.

"You're mistaken." His face turned grim and he said, "I'm going to rent your storefront, not my family." You just talk to me. ”

Lin Fang retracted his gaze and looked at him in surprise: "Is it really you?" ”

Then she realized that her previous words and deeds were not appropriate, and she hurriedly apologized to Zhang Xiaohan with a red face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I thought the elders of the family came with you. In this case, the area of this store is 68 square meters, and the rent is charged annually, and the annual cost is 50,000 yuan. What do you think? ”

50,000 a year, on average, is more than 4,000 yuan per month, which greatly exceeds Zhang Xiaohan's budget.

The first is that this storefront is really not worth the high price of more than 4,000 to rent; Secondly, it is not known how much profit the express delivery industry can get.

The store lease fee plus utilities, business administration fees and other expenses is a large expense.

Zhang Xiaohan shook his head decisively, and said with a smile: "Sister Fang, let's open the skylight and say something bright, you don't need to test my bottom limit." In a word, the annual rent is 35,000, and if you are willing to rent it, we will sign the contract immediately, and if you don't want to, I won't say it. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Fang's eyes.

I didn't expect the young boy in front of me to be so difficult to deal with, and his bargaining methods were precise and sophisticated, and he directly quoted her bottom limit.

Her offer of 50,000 yuan is nothing more than a fluke mentality, in case the other party does not bargain or the counteroffer is less, then she will make a lot of money.

Of course, she is not deliberately cheating on the part of a black businessman, and the reason why she wants to get this expensive rent is really another hidden reason.

The price given by Zhang Xiaohan put Lin Fang in a dilemma.

Accept it, it's a whole fifteen thousand dollars less, that's a lot of money, enough for her brother's three years of college tuition.

Don't accept it, look at the other party's posture is very suspicious of getting up and leaving immediately, I'm afraid she won't even be able to earn 35,000.

Thirty-five thousand is indeed too far from what she expected, and this price is difficult for her to accept.

Zhang Xiaohan was not in a hurry to urge, and gave her enough time to think about it.

If the other party does not agree, then he can only add 5,000 yuan.

At this time, Lin Fang's mobile phone on the table rang.

"I'm sorry little brother, I'll answer the phone first." Lin Fang took his mobile phone and looked at it, and apologized to Zhang Xiaohan: "My brother, he is about the same age as you and is about to take the college entrance examination." ”

Zhang Xiaohan nodded indifferently, picked up the water cup and took two sips.

Lin Fang stepped aside and pressed the answer button.

A boy's voice came from the other end of the phone, shouting with a crying voice: "Sister, it seems that I forgot to bring my admission ticket in your store." What should I do now? ”

"What?" Lin Fang's face changed, and he said anxiously: "Why are you so careless, you can forget the admission ticket." ”

The afternoon is the official start of the exam, and the younger brother cannot enter the exam room without the admission ticket, and may lose his qualification for the exam.

Even if it is too late to apply for a make-up application, once he loses his qualification, he can only repeat a grade for a year and wait for next year to take the college entrance examination.

Thinking of this, Lin Fangqiao's face suddenly lost its blood, and she was about to cry in a hurry, and the six gods said, "What now?" Can I catch up with me by taking a taxi right away? ”

The boy on the other end of the line began to sob, "I'm afraid...... Even...... I can't catch up......"

Lin Fang felt dizzy for a while, staggered and almost fell.

She did not hesitate to sell the store she used for business in order to help her brother raise tuition and living expenses for college.

Unexpectedly, my younger brother could be careless enough to drop the admission ticket in the store.

Her eyes fell on the same table where the sewing machine had been placed, and there was a piece of paper with her brother's picture stuck in the gap.

"It's over! That's it! Lin Fang picked up the admission ticket, his eyes were distracted, and he muttered to himself.

Zhang Xiaohan stood up with an intriguing smile, walked up to Lin Fang's side and asked, "Did your brother throw away the admission ticket here?" What city did he go to school? ”

"Cloud City Key High School." Lin Fang said in despair: "The store is not rented for the time being, junior brother, you can go back first." ”

Zhang Xiaohan suddenly realized that it would take more than four hours to drive from Suzhou City to Yuncheng.

At this time, it was less than three hours before the start of the test in the afternoon.
