Chapter 103: Touching the Melon
Leaving the newsstand, Lin Fan said to Dong Rui beside him: "How is it, how is the harvest?" β
Dong Rui said with a happy face: "Minister Lin, I asked according to your method, the landlord of the 'House of Baume & Mercier' didn't ask, but the landlord of the shop next door asked for the phone." β
Lin Fan nodded and said with a smile: "How is it?" Still find it difficult to find a landlord? β
Dong Rui's face turned red and said: "It's because my brain is not open, and I haven't found the right way." β
Lin Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't blame you for this, because you have no experience, but you have to remember in the future, don't do things, don't drill the horns of the bull, encounter problems that can't be overcome, think of ways and find countermeasures, there are always more ways than difficulties, isn't it?" β
"I just asked you to visit upstairs, including me chatting with the newsstand owner, these are one of the methods, it doesn't necessarily work, but you try it all, if you don't get it right, you will get something, today we are lucky, these two methods allowed us to find two landlords."
Dong Rui was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Two landlords? I only asked a landlord. β
Lin Fan sighed and said, "And what about this 'Baume & Mercier's House' store, have you forgotten?" β
Dong Rui was puzzled and said: "'Baume & Mercier'? Didn't the newsstand owner say he didn't know him? Nor does the phone number! β
Lin Fan stopped, looked back at Dong Rui and said: "Your ability to analyze problems needs to be improved, although he doesn't know the landlord, but he has provided clues to us, the landlord works in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, surnamed Liu, a middle-aged man in his 40s." Let's go find it now. β
The two drove to Longgang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lin Fan parked the car and took Dong Rui straight to the hospital gate.
Handed a cigarette to the security guard in the guard room, Dong Rui stepped forward to light it, and Lin Fan asked, "Big brother, ask you about someone." β
The security guard took a puff of cigarette, spit out his eyes pleasantly, and said, "China, good smoke!" Who are you inquiring about? β
Lin Fan said: "I heard that there is a doctor surnamed Liu in your hospital, who is about 40 years old and has two stores on the Yangtze River Road, do you know this person?" β
The security guard thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "You are talking about the chief physician Liu Yujun, who is in his 40s, drives a BMW to work every day, and is one of the richest people in our hospital. β
After speaking, he glanced at the parking lot a few times, and said, "But Dr. Liu doesn't seem to be here today!" β
It's easy to find the right place, as long as the temple is there, are you afraid that the "monk" will not come back?
Lin Fan asked, "Is there any contact number for him?" β
Take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths. As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, the security guard immediately went through his address book, and finally found a number to give to Lin Fan, saying, "This is his mobile phone number." β
Lin Fan hurriedly saved the number, and after saying goodbye to the security guard, the two drove back to the Changjiang Road business district, Lin Fan said to Dong Rui with a smile on the road: "How is it?" Are you confident now? β
Dong Rui said shyly: "The minister is out of the horse, a top trick, learn from you!" β
Lin Fan said: "Forget about the sycophants, what do you think is the most difficult part of our work?" β
Dong Rui thought for a while and said, "I think the most difficult thing is that the landlord is too difficult to find." β
Lin Fan shook his head and said: "Finding a landlord is nothing more than a matter of time, as long as you persevere, you can find it sooner or later." The most difficult part of our job is to accurately assess the market and negotiate with landlords. The accuracy of the market assessment measures how well you know the market; The more professional you are, the easier it is for the landlord to be recognized, and under the same conditions, he is likely to choose to work with you. β
Dong Rui seems to understand whether he understands or not, Lin Fan knows his words, he may not be able to fully agree for a while, these can only be deeply realized after he has experienced them.
The car came to the Changjiang Road business district again, stopped the car, and Lin Fan said to Dong Rui: "Go down and go around, and find a few more landlords to come out!" β
Following Lin Fan back to the business district within the scope of his planned store, Lin Fan saw a middle-aged man sitting at the cash register of a store selling denim clothes, and turned to Dong Rui and said, "The owner of this store, have you seen it?" β
Dong Rui shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it." β
Lin Fan pointed inside, "Go, go in, the boss is inside." β
The shopping guides in the clothing store are basically young women, and the men who will stay in the store and sit behind the cash register are the bosses.
"Hello big brother, you are the owner of this store, right?"
The middle-aged man looked up at the two of them, nodded and said, "I am, you are?" β
Lin Fan said with a smile: "The two of us just arrived in Longgang and want to do some business on this street, because we are not familiar with this place, so I want to learn from you." β
The middle-aged man smiled perfunctorily, oh, and said dryly: "Business is not good!" β
Lin Fan knew that the other party was defensive of himself, this is normal, people who do business are very sensitive, knowing that Lin Fan and the others came to Longgang to find a faΓ§ade to do business, the middle-aged man was worried that Lin Fan wanted to pry his house, so he was naturally cautious.
"Yes, business is not good, I heard that the 'good cowboy' shop next to it is about to expire, I don't know if you recognize the landlord?"
Dong Rui glanced at Lin Fan strangely, and said in his heart: "You asked so bluntly, he will tell you that it's strange." β
But the facts made Dong Rui fall through his eyes, and after the boss listened to Lin Fan's words, his eyes rolled, and he said for a while: "What?" Brother, do you have a crush on that store? β
Lin Fan replied with a smile: "Yes, I don't know if you can help introduce the landlord, big brother?" β
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "I know the landlord, but it's inconvenient for me to come forward to introduce it, I'll give you the phone, you can contact yourself, don't say it's the number I gave." β
Dong Rui was dumbfounded, it's as simple as that? I've asked so many families before, why didn't I ask for a single number?
Coming out of this store, Dong Rui couldn't help but ask Lin Fan why this boss gave him the landlord number so easily, why he didn't tell the landlord's phone number when he entered the store before, and no one even told him who the landlord was.
Lin Fan smiled: "This is simple, if you go to the 'good cowboy' house and ask their boss for the landlord number of this cowboy shop, if the other party knows, there is a good chance that they will also tell you." The reason is very simple, peers are enemies, these two stores are competitors, and now someone wants to pry their competitors' stores, of course they will add fuel to the fire, which is beneficial to them. β
"You couldn't ask before, because the person you asked was wrong, and the method of asking was not right, you have to understand this slowly, don't worry!"
When Dong Rui heard this, he woke up like a dream and slapped his thigh, "Oh, why didn't I think of it!" "Actually, these truths are very simple, but sometimes you don't think about it, as long as someone mentions it, you will understand it immediately.
