Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Prosperous Dynasty
The old Fengxiang Silver Building on Nanjing Road has a history of more than 160 years and is also one of the oldest jewelry companies in China.
The beautiful manager of the intermediary company brought Wang Zhuo to this street.
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, Wang Zhuo turned a blind eye to the large merchants in the jewelry, gold, silver, and diamond industries on the street, and did not take the fierce competition here to heart at all, but thought that it was good to sell goods together, and the more peers here, the better.
"Sir, where we are now, running a jewelry company is the most suitable, rich people from all over China come here to buy gold and jade jewelry, the daily traffic is not only very large, many of them are specially made to buy."
The intermediary manager spared no effort to introduce, Wang Zhuo nodded slightly, agreeing with her introduction.
"The price of land here is also expensive, of course, although it is a little more expensive, it is also worth the money." The agency manager introduced as he walked along the crowded street with Wang Zhuo.
It is not uncommon for a customer like Wang Zhuo to pay a deposit of 100,000 yuan for viewing the house within an hour of the first meeting, and the female manager is now full of confidence in the completion of this business.
"We now have two suitable paving options to choose from, which is a rare opportunity on the hard-to-find Nanjing Road. Suffice it to say, you and I are in good luck. β
Wang Zhuo, under the guidance of this female manager named Wei Xia, first came to a brand clothing and apparel store that advertised "closed for decoration, one piece is not left", this store is about 200 square meters, divided into two floors, the neighbor on the left is a small jewelry store, the things in it are dazzling, they are all things that girls like, and the neighbor on the right is a European-style Western restaurant.
Wang Zhuo looked around, he didn't feel too satisfied, the western restaurant was acceptable, the trinket shop was a little too prosperous, and the group for it was obviously students who didn't have much money, although Wang Zhuo didn't know what to say about this in feng shui, but he also knew that it would affect his business.
Seeing Wang Zhuo's thoughts, Manager Wei explained helplessly: "This jewelry store is indeed not suitable for opening next to the gold store, if you have a heart, I can help you inquire about the owner's contact information." β
The trinket shop is only about 30 square meters, and if you are willing to break the bank, it is not impossible to move it.
Wang Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Let's take a look at the next one." β
The second shop is located at an intersection where Wang Zhuo liked this location at a glance, and on both sides of it are a branch office of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and a platinum diamond company called "Tianyuan", which is more suitable for Wang Zhuo's business.
The strange thing is that the signboard of this shop is no longer there, and the glass door is locked with a chain lock symbolizing the surname, and when you look through the door, there are some glass counters, display shelves, tables and chairs placed in it.
"The previous owner here was also a jewelry company, but don't worry about feng shui, it's not going out of business, it's just moving away."
Manager Wei explained, took out the key, and opened the chain lock: "Come in and have a look." β
"Do you have the key here?" Wang Zhuo felt a little curious.
"Huh." Wei Xia said with a proud smile: "The owner entrusted this store to us, anyway, this place is empty now, and there is nothing valuable." β
In fact, she didn't tell Wang Zhuo that she was not the only intermediary entrusted by the owner, there were four intermediaries holding the keys to this shop, and there were surveillance cameras installed in the store, and the owner had a well-documented record of what had happened here.
This store is 330 square meters, which is much larger than the one selling clothes just now. Among them, the downstairs is 150 square meters, the upstairs is 18, and the 30 square meters more than the downstairs is a large office, which is "eaten" from the second floor of the Industrial and Commercial Bank next door.
After taking a bite of the bank, Wang Zhuo suddenly felt good, and the space of more than 300 square meters to make a gold store is a top scale even in his hometown, and Wang Zhuo feels proud to have such a place on Nanjing Road.
"How much is the rent?" If you look at it, you will go straight to the point, Wang Zhuo has never dragged his feet in this regard.
Wei Xia was still counting the advantages of this faΓ§ade, Wang Zhuo smiled and waved his hand: "Why am I listening to this, you just say the price." β
"The lease term is three years, and the monthly rent is 330,000 yuan, paid quarterly." Wei Xia said as she paid attention to Wang Zhuo's demeanor.
"A thousand per square meter a month?" Wang Zhuo smiled and quipped: "It doesn't seem to be too expensive, and you can still negotiate the price, right?" β
Mr. Wang laughed. Wei Xia couldn't hear Wang Zhuo's tone, and said with an unnatural smile: "The price must still be negotiable, and you also know that our intermediary only wants to promote cooperation, and there will be commissions to earn." If you rent too much, it will also affect our goodwill. β
That's right. Wang Zhuo nodded and said, "I intend to rent this shop, you can contact the owner." β
Thirty minutes later, Wang Zhuo met with the owner of the shop at a nearby teahouse; An hour later, the price was negotiated and the details were finalized; Two hours later, the agreement was signed and notarized successfully; Three hours later, the first year's rent transfer of 3.6 million yuan was successful.
"Today's young people are really sharp and happy to do things, and the future is terrifying!" If you don't know, who can see that this big old man in cloth shoes and long coat will be an old landlord capitalist with a family fortune of more than 100 million?
Wei Xia took the cash check given to her by the old man, and still had some unreal feelings, the 200,000 commission was in hand, and it was only half past two in the afternoon, and she didn't even use a job before and after!
The owner Mr. Lin himself, she knows very well, with the character of the owner, is disdainful to make an agreement with the customer privately, relying on the dirty thing of the intermediary fee, so she is relieved to take the customer and the owner to meet, but what I didn't expect is that the little brother who rents the house is more happy than the owner Mr. Lin, the two of them went straight to the point as soon as they met, they are all cheerful people, no one is verbose and ink, and the matter is negotiated in a few words!
"It's good to be rich." Wei Xia looked at Wang Zhuo's distant figure enviously, and sighed that she was still working hard for a down payment for a suburban house, and people casually spent more than 3 million yuan to rent a faΓ§ade house...... With the key in hand, Wang Zhuo returned to his store happily, he had even thought of the name, it was called Shengshi Dynasty, Dora Feng, how cool!
There is an old saying in China, called "gold in troubled times, collecting in prosperous times", and in recent years, the momentum of art investment and speculation has been rising, which also proves that it is now a prosperous era from one side, and these two words are just right for Wang Zhuo's business scope. And the word dynasty, not only because the word king is his surname, but also because these two words show domineering majesty, which is enough to listen to!
"The next step is to find a renovation company, right?" Wang Zhuo stood at the door, facing the direction of the store, and muttered to himself.
"It's called crossing the river by feeling the stones, and there's nothing." He smiled self-deprecatingly, except for this shop with a monthly rent of 300,000 yuan, he now has no manpower, no goods, no channels, and no license, so he just wants nothing!
Helpless, he had no choice but to call Guan Yingying, the three stinkers and Zhuge Liang, isn't this sister on vacation, just looking for help.
"What? You even paid the money?! When Guan Yingying heard this, she immediately cried and laughed: "Do you know the land price there?" You didn't do a big deal, did you? β
"Cut, have you forgotten, I was a poor boy before the summer, how could I be willing to spend money in vain?" Wang Zhuo said with a smile: "I also shop around, and the last intermediary I used was also introduced by a friend, and the reputation is very good." β
The friend he said was actually Qin Xue's second secretary Xiao Wanjun, the relationship between the two was not a friend, Wang Zhuo called him to consult, and he introduced the intermediary company opened by a friend of his own to Wang Zhuo, because the mayor's secretary was too big, so the boss of the intermediary company did not mention this matter to Wei Xia, the little manager, just told her to receive it seriously, and Wang Zhuo did not mention it.
"Wait a minute, I'll go over here." Guan Yingying hurriedly put down the phone, she always felt that this matter was incredible, this Wang Zhuo rented the house without making a sound, he was really daring, he dared to think and dare to do it!
Half an hour later, Guan Yingying appeared in front of the door of the future "Shengshi Dynasty", her residence was near the People's Square, very close to here, but most of Nanjing Road was a pedestrian street, and she left the car and walked for a while.
As soon as she entered the door, Guan Yingying exclaimed: "It's so big?!" Rent costs a lot of money, right? β
Wang Zhuo smiled and nodded: "Ten thousand a day." β
Guan Yingying was stunned for a moment, and tasted it, for the profiteering jewelry industry, the room fee of 10,000 yuan a day is nothing, and there is not a fraction of the tax paid, but the key problem is not here, opening a jewelry store is not a child's house, Wang Zhuo is empty-handed, what is he doing?
"Looking for you to help me with the staff, I am not very good at decoration, and the landlord only gave a fifteen-day free renovation period, which is very urgent."
"Fifteen days is still urgent?" Guan Yingying couldn't cry or laugh: "Please, this is Nanjing Road, and other businesses are not out of business for decoration time!" People give you fifteen days to decorate, which is already very generous! β
"Really?" Wang Zhuo scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said in his heart that the old man Lin was very generous, and it seemed that he was wrong to blame him.
"But it's really urgent for you." Guan Yingying said angrily: "You have no goods in your hands now, no one else, not even a decoration design and construction team, logo and brand image, I guess not to mention." Have you decided on a name? β
"I've figured this out!" Wang Zhuo immediately raised his hand: "It's called the Shengshi Dynasty, how about it, be domineering!" β
"The soil is falling to the slag...... Guan Yingying was completely speechless.
The two were standing in the store chatting wildly, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes with a badge around his neck looked in from the door for a moment, and then walked out.
Although it was more than ten meters away and it was backlit, Wang Zhuo's super eyes still saw the title on his badge at a glance, which turned out to be a reception manager of the Tianyuan company next door.
Through the concrete partition wall, Wang Zhuo saw him quickly return to the Tianyuan Gate, and said a few words to a young man about thirty years old with a thin body, the young man turned his eyes and groaned, waved his hand casually to send him away, and walked over to Wang Zhuo himself.
