Chapter 21 . The shop next to the overpass
"Forget it, you are the most risky, and you should take a little more shares." Ding Shishi signed her name on the agreement, "Don't call Xiaolei, let her sleep for a while...... How did you get the address on the side of the overpass? The traffic on the overpass is not good. Renting this kind of place will cost you money, so you should hurry up and choose another better shop. ”
"I didn't rent it, I already bought this shop." Huang Wenbin said.
"Damn, you bought it?" Ding Shishi shook her head again and again, "Greedy for cheap, right?" Of course, it's cheaper, but the traffic is not good. Now it's settled, it's okay, when the bun shop can't be done, Xiaolei is lonely, I took the opportunity to go up to comfort, and then asked her to go to the company to be my secretary, and then I can eat her small meat bun every day. ”
"Don't worry, you won't lose." Huang Wenbin said angrily. Whether the bun shop loses or not, it is still unknown, but the shop next to this overpass will definitely make a lot of money. When the time comes, it will not be easy to make money and support the bun shop.
"How can you not pay for a place like an overpass where the traffic is not good." Ding Shishi said, "What is your salary after you are promoted to the third level?" It seems to be about 2,000 yuan, even if it is 2,000 yuan, 600,000 yuan is 300 months, 25 years, and from now on, even if you don't eat or drink, it will take 25 years to pay off the debt. No, you still have 7% interest, 600,000 yuan, it is 42,000 a year, but your salary is only 24,000 a year. It's over, it's over, and I can't pay it off for the rest of my life. ”
"How can you do that." Huang Wenbin said, "The shop is there, and it won't suddenly fall into the pit." Huang Wenbin said. The value of this shop is about 600,000 now, and in five or six years, it will be at least 6 million, and if you are lucky, it may reach 10 million.
"Even if the principal is still there, the interest can crush you." Ding Shishi suddenly realized, "I understand, you did it on purpose, right, deliberately made the 600,000 yuan into a loan, and gave 7% interest, and also bought a shop with bad traffic at the overpass, I can't let you pay back, I can only keep giving you promotions, so you can calculate." didn't give Huang Wenbin a chance to refute, Ding Shishi continued: "Let's go to the shop you bought first, I have been abroad for so many years, is the traffic better?" ”
"No, it's still like that." Huang Wenbin said.
Of course, there is more than one overpass in the city, but if you only talk about overpasses without other decorations, you are referring to the overpass of Zhongshan Road. Originally, the traffic here was chaotic, with people and cars mixed together, and there were countless shops with tables and chairs arranged out of the driveway. The city spent tens of millions of dollars (which was the boss's money at the time) to build the city's first overpass.
On the day of its completion, the people came to see the strangeness, and some people even took the bus to take a turn. In the future, the overpass will be repaired more and more, and the larger, longer and more luxurious overpass will be everywhere, but when it comes to the overpass, everyone knows that Lu Road is the overpass here on Zhongshan Road
As for the bad traffic, it is not that the traffic is inconvenient, on the contrary, the overpass here extends in all directions, and the traffic flow is endless, whether it is to go to the city center or to any other place is very convenient. The reason why the traffic here is bad is because of the complex roads and the lack of parking spaces. If you drive by, follow the signs, but if you want to stop here, you'll have to struggle.
In his previous life, Huang Wenbin once tried to go to the overpass to do things, drove an electric car to the overpass, and found that the place he was looking for was on the opposite side, so he went around the upper and lower roads for more than ten minutes to arrive, and then found that there was no parking space on the opposite side, and went around for more than ten minutes to find the parking lot, and walked over to finish the work, which took half an hour.
The second time he came here to run errands, he parked the electric car on the side of the road, but when he came out after finishing his errands, he saw that he had been towed away. The overpass is a traffic artery, and it is easy to block traffic when parking on the roadside, so it is a key inspection section of the traffic police and urban management. In this case, the shops can only rely on the support of nearby residents, and business is naturally restricted.
When she arrived at the overpass, Ding Shishi walked around and finally found a parking space, and walked for almost ten minutes before coming to the shop that Huang Wenbin bought. This is the dormitory of the gear factory, and the bottom floor has been converted into a row of shops, convenience stores, glasses, noodle restaurants, and everything.
"Is this it? Why are people still in business? Ding Shishi asked.
"Haven't moved out yet." Huang Wenbin said, "I will leave soon, and when we get the business license or something, the time is just right." ”
"Isn't this still open? Where is it so easy to walk. The contract signed by the previous landlord is also legally valid, and it can't be so coincidental that all contracts just expire in these days, right? Ding Shishi said.
"It's that coincidence." Of course, Huang Wenbin has inquired about the situation here, all contracts are signed once a year, usually after New Year's Day, and then sign a new contract before the Lunar New Year. Now it's almost the end of the year, and the contract is about to expire, and they can move out if they don't renew it.
"And this place is so big, we will definitely not be able to use it up at the beginning, as long as about half of it is vacated as a flagship store, other shops can continue to operate, and we can also help make up for it if we take the rent." Huang Wenbin continued.
"And which half do we want?" Ding Shishi asked.
"I don't know what to say," Huang Wenbin said, "First of all, we should consider the fact that these shops can complement our steamed bun shops, consider the future development prospects, consider the reputation of these shops in this area, and the character learning ability of the shop owners, etc." These are secondary, and the most important thing is to pay the rent on time. ”
"Huh? Are they still in arrears on rent? Ding Shishi asked.
"Not to mention the rent, I owe a lot of water and electricity bills." Huang Wenbin said. If it weren't for this situation, the original landlord would not have been able to sell such a large shop for less than 600,000 yuan.
"Look at you, what the hell did you choose?" Ding Shishi shook her head again and again, "I am still owed rent." ”
Huang Wenbin is not worried at all, the matter of the shop, the rent arrears are commonplace. If it is a prosperous place, then you can still pick the fat and thin, this kind of barren place, someone rents it, when the business is not good, not to mention a few months, even if you owe a few years of rent.
Renting a shop is not such a simple thing, and the decoration of the shop is often done by the tenant himself, and it has to be involved in a round of decoration if you want to change hands. And drove out the previous tenant, and I don't know when I will find the next one. It's a lot of money to lose during this window period, and few landlords will tear their faces and evict the tenants of their shops until they are completely desperate.
The overpass is not popular here, the shop business is not good, and the situation of rent arrears is of course common, which doesn't matter, the overpass will soon become a commercial boom, and Huang Wenbin will be able to pick and choose fat and thin at that time.
"Which one to go to first?" Ding Shishi touched her stomach, "I've been playing with Xiaolei for a few hours, and I'm a little hungry, let's go to this restaurant first." We ordered something to eat, and if it was delicious, we kept it, and if it wasn't delicious, we drove it away. ”
This is too casual, delicious may not necessarily be profitable, and unpalatable may not necessarily be a loss. Many fast-food restaurants on the street are terrible to eat, but the more people who patronize them cheaply, they can make money. Ding Shishi didn't care about so much, and strode into the hotel.
A thin middle-aged woman greeted her and said earnestly, "Is it eating?" We've got it all here. Cheap and good, genuine. ”
"What's your specialty here?" Ding Shishi asked.
"Specialty dish? There are many of them, there are Zhuge grilled fish, barrel beef, and fresh seafood. The middle-aged woman said.
As soon as Huang Wenbin heard it, he knew that this shop was unreliable, Zhuge grilled fish was spread from Mala Province, wooden barrel beef was Hunan cuisine, and as for raw seafood, this word was made by Guangdong Province. To say that there is a chef in this small shop who has mastered the three systems of Sichuan, Hunan and Guangdong, the possibility is not to say that there is none, that is, the probability of winning the lottery is a little greater. This middle-aged woman is simply what is expensive and what is recommended.
"Well, let's have a grilled fish first, I haven't eaten it for a long time. Beef in wooden barrels is also required, what seafood do you have here? Is it fresh? Ding Shishi looked left and right, but didn't see a glass jar for raising seafood.
"It's fresh," said the middle-aged woman, "and prawns, abalone, and yellow croaker, hairtail, saury, and so on." ”
Huang Wenbin is even more sure that this shop is unreliable, even if the prawns and abalone are counted, and the hairtail saury also comes out to mix the seafood? These two things are not alive on the market at all, they are all frozen, how can they be violent?
Ding Shishi didn't hear it, "There is nothing delicious about abalone, bring me a pound of prawns, cut butterfly slices and steam them with garlic." In addition, I want a green vegetable and a shredded potato, I haven't eaten shredded potatoes for a long time, and I really miss it a little. Hurry up, I'm hungry. ”
"Soon, immediately." The middle-aged woman said.
After a while, the dishes came up one after another, and Ding Shishi frowned after taking a bite of the green vegetables, "The green vegetables are not fried at all." ”
"It's good to give birth to a little green, beauty, and the nutrition is better." The middle-aged woman said.
"Why is this shredded potato so thick?" Ding Shishi, "It's as thick as a little finger, do you want french fries?" "This is a small problem, the shrimp steamed with garlic is cold, the wooden barrel beef is full of wooden barrels, and there are only a few slices of beef, so thin that you can slice and see the cells.
The worst thing is the fish, this Zhuge grilled fish costs 60 yuan a piece, Huang Wenbin originally thought that he could get two or three catties, he remembered that at this time, the two catties of grilled fish were only 40 yuan. But one end up, the basin is very large, but the fish in the middle is only a small one, even the head and tail are just a little longer than the palm, not to mention three catties, two catties, at most more than a catty. And the fish meat is shoddy, and there are a lot of peppers, and there is still a rancid smell when you eat it.
"You're going too far!" Huang Wenbin really couldn't help it, "This fish head has passed for seven years, right?" ”
"You can't eat it!" Ding Shishi almost overturned the table, "You want to take out this kind of thing and sell it for money?" ”
