"The business district? You guys? Minister Qin was stunned for a moment after listening to Liu Tao's words.

"That's right! We! Liu Tao smiled.

"Do you know how much it costs to rent a commercial area?" Minister Qin asked.

Liu Tao didn't speak, just shook his head.

"The entire commercial area is a total of three floors, all of which add up to almost 2,000 square meters, and if each square meter is calculated as 50 yuan a month, the monthly rent is almost 100,000 yuan." Minister Qin said with a smile.

"Minister Qin, the price is not a problem. However, before I talk about the price, I have one more thing I want to say. Liu Tao said.

"You say."

"First of all, I want to make it clear that I don't lease commercial space to make money. The reason why I want to lease the commercial area is mainly to provide a better place for the teachers and students of the school to consume. Liu Tao smiled and said.

"Oh? Since you're not here to make money, why are you renting this place? I think the current business district is also very good. Minister Qin questioned Liu Tao's remarks.

"The main reason why I want to rent this place is to find something for everyone to do. In addition, I know that there are a lot of poor students in the school, and I can let them come here to work and study at that time, so that they can relieve some of the pressure of life and not delay their studies. Of course, there is a more important point, no matter how much profit the business area makes, I will donate all of it to the school to set up a scholarship. Liu Tao said his initial thoughts.

"That's a pretty unique idea. If that's what you're going to do, I can report this to the headmaster and see if I can give you some rent relief. Minister Qin said with a smile.

"Thank you." Liu Tao said with a smile. For him, the rent of 100,000 yuan a month is nothing at all, but since the other party is willing to help him save, then he is still willing.

"So be it. You come with me to the headmaster, and when you get there, you can tell me what you think. Minister Qin thought for a moment and said.

Liu Tao didn't speak, just nodded.

"Let's go." As soon as Minister Qin finished speaking, he took the lead in leaving the office.

Liu Tao and others followed.

Soon they were in front of the principal's office.

"You are waiting for me here. I'll be out soon. Liu Tao turned his head and said to Hua Rui and the others.

At this time, Minister Qin had already knocked on the door of the principal's office, and after getting the answer, he took Liu Tao to push the door in.

This is the first time Liu Tao has met the president of Dongshan University. You must know that Dongshan University is the best university in Dongshan Province, and it is also relatively high in the country. The president of Dongshan University is himself an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the administrative level belongs to the ministerial level.

"Minister Qin. Are you looking for something with me? The principal asked with a smile when he saw Minister Qin.

"Principal Fan, didn't disturb your work, did you?" Minister Qin asked a little unnaturally.

"Nope. Tell me anything. Principal Fan shook his head and said.

"It's better for you." Minister Qin glanced at Liu Tao.

Liu Tao understood and immediately told Principal Fan his thoughts.

Principal Fan smiled after hearing his thoughts. said: "I can't imagine that you have such an idea at a young age, it's not easy!" Minister Qin, in my opinion, the rent of 100,000 yuan a month for the school will be gone, and it will be counted in the profit at that time, and it will eventually be transferred to the scholarship. Principal Fan thought for a moment and said. In fact, for a national key university, 100,000 yuan a month is really nothing, at best it is the salary of three or five professors.

"Thank you, Headmaster." When Liu Tao heard this, he hurriedly said.

"But the school also has contracts with those merchants. If you terminate the contract with them now, it is a unilateral breach of contract by the school, and you need to pay liquidated damages. I'm afraid you'll have to pay for it yourself. Principal Fan added.

"No problem." Liu Tao readily agreed. As long as you can get the business district, this compensation is nothing. In fact, for him, the investment is becoming more and more valuable. If it weren't for the lease of the commercial area, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had a chance to chat with the principal for a while. In this way, he can be regarded as knowing each other, and he will not feel strange when they meet again in the future.

"Minister Qin, you can help them deal with the problems on the merchant's side. Wait until the original contract is terminated and then sign a new one. Principal Fan instructed.

"Yes." Minister Qin nodded, and then asked, "Principal Fan." Don't know how long this contract will be valid? ”

When Principal Fan heard this question, he didn't know how to answer it for a while. You must know that once a son of heaven and a courtier, he is still the president of Dongshan University. But how many years from now? It's hard to say whether the next principal will sign a contract with the other party at that time.

"President Fan, Minister Qin, why don't you sign for five years first. If the school wants to terminate the contract, I'll find a way to do it. Liu Tao thought for a moment and built a road next to him.

"Just do as he says!" Principal Fan nodded. Said.

"Now that everything is done, if there is nothing else, we will go first." Minister Qin said.

"Hmm." Principal Fan glanced at Liu Tao and said with a smile: "Young man! Well done! Today's society needs aspiring young people like you! ”

"Thank you, Principal, for your exaggeration." Liu Tao said with a smile.

Then, he and Minister Qin left the principal's office together.

When they came out, the three of them surrounded them at once.

"Third brother, how are things going? What did the principal say? Hua Rui asked anxiously.

"The principal has promised to waive our rent." Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Really! Doesn't this save a lot of rent? Shui Linglong also became happy.

"The money saved in the rent will eventually be injected into the scholarship." Liu Tao glanced at her and said.

"Speaking of which, third brother, have you thought of the name of the scholarship? According to me, it should be called Liu Tao Scholarship. Hua Ruijian said.

"No." Liu Tao shook his head and said, "This scholarship brings together the strength of many people, how can I just use my own name." I think it's better to call it the Elite Scholarship. ”

"Elite Scholarship. This is good! Hua Wuying echoed beside him.

"You guys are really interesting. I had already thought of the name of the scholarship before I even started making money. Minister Qin watched their discussion on the sidelines and couldn't help but quip.

"Hey, hey." The crowd laughed dryly.

"Liu Tao, I will notify them immediately on the merchant's side, and I believe that it will not take a week to let them move out. As for the compensation, do you give them directly or do we have the logistics department give them to them? Minister Qin asked with a smile.

"It's up to you to do this. Please count the amount of compensation, and when the time comes, you can sue me, and I will directly call the account you provided. Liu Tao thought for a moment and said.

"Okay. Anything else? If nothing else, I'll go back to the office. Minister Qin asked.

"It's gone. Minister Qin. I've already asked a friend to have dinner tonight, so I'll treat you to dinner another day. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"It's better to eat without it. If you really want to thank me, just study hard. Minister Qin waved his hand. Said.

"Hmm." Liu Tao nodded.

"Goodbye!" Minister Qin waved at them and left.

When Minister Qin left, Liu Tao also left the office building with Hua Rui and others.

"Third brother, those merchants will move out in a week, should we start preparing now?" Hua Rui asked. ‘

"Hmm." Liu Tao nodded. said: "I happened to have dinner with Sister Xueqing tonight, and let her introduce a better designer to us when the time comes." ”

"Third brother, the commercial area has a total of 2,000 square meters. What are you going to do with it? Hua Wuying couldn't help but ask. He grew up in that kind of relatively remote county, and basically didn't see much of the world, and now that he finally has such a project that he can participate in, he also has an urge to try.

"We provide what students need. There must be a supermarket, as well as clothing stores, jewelry stores, bookstores, and so on. Liu Tao said simply.

"Brother Tao, I think there should be a barber shop. There are so many students in our school, and each student basically has to get a haircut once a month. Shui Linglong also built a yì road next to it.

"Originally, I thought 2,000 square meters was quite large. Now that you say that, I don't think 2,000 square meters can do much. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Who said that. I think it's definitely enough to open a supermarket with 300 square meters, and the rest like jewelry stores, with 20 square meters is enough. Shui Linglong made a rough calculation and said.

"You can take this question back and think about it. By the way, Linglong, do you live on campus or go home? If you live on campus, you can discuss with your roommates and brainstorm ideas. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Boarding on campus, of course. My parents wanted me to go home, but they were so busy. I don't have anything to do when I go home, I might as well live in the school and have roommates to talk to. Shui Linglong replied.

"It's for the best. The fifth, the sixth. Think about it when you're fine. Liu Tao instructed.

"Yes!"

"By the way, Brother Tao, how much money do you think I can pay?" Shui Linglong asked.

"It's up to you." Liu Tao smiled and said, "Anyway, our project belongs to public welfare, of course, the more the merrier." ”

"Humph!" Shui Linglong gave him a blank look.

After some tossing just now, Liu Tao glanced at his watch. found that there were still fifteen minutes before the agreed time with Xia Xueqing.

"Third brother, should I go back and drive the car over?" Hua Rui said.

Liu Tao shook his head and said, "Sister Xueqing will drive over in a while, and the four of us will just take her car at that time." ”

"Brother Tao, you are a Sister Xueqing, what is her relationship with you?" Shui Linglong couldn't help but ask. Women's nerves are usually more sensitive, especially when it comes to things like feelings.

"Her dad and my grandfather are good friends." Liu Tao thought for a moment and explained.

"I see. Isn't she beautiful? Shui Linglong then asked.

"You'll see her soon, see for yourself when the time comes." Liu Tao smiled and said.

While talking, everyone came to the north gate of the school. (To be continued.) )
