Chapter 293: Plate down the shop

After choosing the address, Lai Xiaohu began to think about acquiring the store. Basically, the places that Lai Xiaohu screened were all stores for sale, either newly built for a short time, or someone used to run a store here, but now they want to sell the store for some reason.

This is the place that Lai Xiaohu finally chose, the location of this shop is close to the commercial street of Shanghai, but it is not on the commercial street, but on a corner near the commercial street. This location is relatively closer to nearby residential areas.

The whole store is almost more than 300 square meters, and it used to be a boss who operated a clothing brand here, but because of the geographical location, this place is really not as good as the nearby commercial street, so there is no competitiveness in the competition, and his business is also conceivable.

After inquiring about Lai Xiaohu, he learned that the other party had been taking down the shop for more than a year, and counting the time for pre-decoration, it had been more than a year since it really started to operate. However, because of the nearby commercial street, his business has been very poor.

Of course, this is very poor and relatively speaking, if compared with other places where the traffic is more sparse, in fact, the situation of this store has been operated can be described as hot, but if compared with the shops on the commercial street, it can indeed be described by the word deserted.

In terms of business, it is not as popular as the shops in the shopping street, but in terms of rent, he is extremely high because of its proximity to the commercial street. In this way, the cost is high, but the profit cannot go up, and the other party will naturally not be able to operate for a long time.

The owner of this shop has been operating for three years, and now it has only been in operation for one year, but the other party really can't hold on, so after consideration, he decisively put up a sign for rent and sale.

It's not. This sign has been hanging out for a short time, but no one has come to talk about taking down this store. It's not that no one likes this place, in fact, this place is still very good, although it can't compare to the popularity of the commercial street, but if it is well managed, it can still make a lot of money. It's just that most people who are interested in this place are scared back by the high rent here.

The bottom merchants in this vicinity were all built only two years ago, and it took a little more than a year and a half to put them into operation. At the beginning of the investment, the prices of these bottom merchants were set very high. Because at that time, many people were indeed very optimistic about these bottom merchants. According to the analysis at the time, this road has a large flow of people and many nearby residential areas. It's also close to the shopping street, so it should be very popular if you open a shop here.

According to this idea, the developers of these bottom merchants set the prices very high, although not as high as the prices on the high street, but not much more. And there were many people who thought the same way as those developers at the time. This was not the first group of people who came to buy or lease these bottom merchants, and they also thought that although the price was high. But with such a convenient location, business will definitely be booming at that time. So at that time, even the price was high. They gritted their teeth and rented or bought.

But now it seems that those who bought or leased these bottom merchants were really in the brain, in the early days of operation, everyone had great confidence in the store in western Zhejiang, but as the business continued, the cruel facts continued to hit these people. One blow after another, almost everyone regrets it deeply.

Some people have already withdrawn first, while some people are now on the way to withdraw, and many more are reluctantly holding on. I don't know when I'll be able to evacuate this place in the future.

Now the boss of the bottom merchant that Lai Xiaohu wants to buy is a part of the people who are on the way to withdraw, but the process of their withdrawal is not very smooth. There is only one reason, and that is that the price of their lease is set too high.

Price is the most important problem, because the price is too high, so those who bought the store at the beginning will have difficulty in making profits because the cost is too high, and there have been a lot of losses until now.

They bought or leased these shops at a high price, and if they set the price too low when they sell them now, they may lose a lot of money on rent alone. Losses are certain, but the amount of losses can indeed be changed.

Therefore, in order to minimize losses, many people set the rental price very high, although it is not as high as the price they originally bought, but it is not much different.

If this was all before it was put into operation on nearby land, it might be possible to fool some unsuspecting people with this price, but now? For more than a year, who didn't know that all the nearby merchants had lost money, and those who really planned to do business here would not inquire about these things clearly, and if they, the latecomers, still rented these merchants at a high price, it would really show that they were stupid.

So, it's not that no one wants to rent or buy these shops, but there is only one premise, and that is to lower the price, but it has to be lowered a lot.

The fundamental reason why those who have completely withdrawn before were able to withdraw was that they could not survive on their own, and then they reduced their prices significantly. That's why someone took over their shop.

In Lai Xiaohu's view, the prices of the bottom merchants in this neighborhood are actually in the adjustment link of the market, and due to the high expectations, the developers set the price too high. Later, the brutal truth hit the real price of these stores and dropped dramatically. In this process of change from one after the other, a price difference is formed.

Those who are willing to accept this price difference have already sold their stores, while those who are not willing to accept this price difference are still struggling to support. However, it is a matter of time before they can't support it, because while struggling to support, they are also losing money, but they don't lose much at one time, but after a long time, the money they lose is not necessarily less than the money that accompanies them by greatly reducing the price.

The market is cruel, the store that Lai Xiaohu wants to lease has not been able to rent out because the rent is set too high, the previous boss has paid the rent for three years, and now the rent has been greatly reduced. Then you will lose a lot of money directly. So he didn't accept the price reduction at first.

Of course, he also had his own confidence not to accept the price reduction at first, because one of the good things about his shop compared to other bottom merchants in the neighborhood was that his shop was right on the edge of a crossroads, and there were many flyovers built nearby, and the better location made him think that someone would agree with his price after all.

But the truth hit him again, just as the facts made him realize how stupid he was when he first rented the store.

From the very beginning, there were many interested people who came to inquire, but after learning that the boss was unwilling to reduce the price, these interested people gradually lost interest. Since then, fewer and fewer people have been interested in this place. Fewer and fewer people came to inquire.

At this time, the boss became anxious, if he couldn't get the store out, then he might lose more after a long time. So after holding out for a while. The boss couldn't hold it out on his own, so he started the first price reduction. But the first price reduction was not very large. So I still haven't been able to achieve my wishes.

It's time for Lai Xiaohu to come now. The boss has already reduced the price three times, which is enough to reduce the original price by one-third. The sharp drop in prices naturally seduced everyone's interest in this store again, including not only Lai Xiaohu, but also other people.

However, although the number of people who came to inquire about leasing increased, the shop was still not able to be rented out. Because most of the people who came to express their intention to buy invariably wanted the boss to reduce the price again, and the price reduction again was still quite a lot.

Before Lai Xiaohu came, the boss was thinking about whether to reduce the price again to sell the store as soon as possible, but at this time he met Lai Xiaohu. It's also his luck.

Other people will definitely calculate the rent as a very important intention when renting a store, and if the cost is too high, they will never rent.

However, for Lai Xiaohu, the price of this lease actually does not have much impact on him, because the cost is really high or not, and it is linked to profits.

The same rent may be a large cost in a store with a daily profit of only 1,000 yuan, but in a store with a daily profit of more than 10,000 yuan, it may not be too much money.

For example, now, the rent price of more than 40,000 yuan a month is definitely a huge support for most people, it is more than 40,000 yuan a month, and the rent alone may be 500,000 yuan in a year. Many stores may not have that much turnover in a year, so if you rent the store at this price, it will not be a little bit of a loss if the future business is not good.

Now there is a bit of controversy that the price of other shops in the vicinity has dropped to 30,000 yuan per month, considering that the location of this store is a little better, the rent of about 33,000 yuan a month is already very in line with the market situation. Therefore, the price of more than 40,000 yuan is more than 33,000 yuan, but it is 10,000 yuan more a month, so that it is 120,000 yuan a year.

Except for Lai Xiaohu, it is estimated that there are not many people who can not care about the rent of 120,000 yuan this year, so it is not without reason for those people to ask for the price to be drastically reduced to about 33,000 yuan again.

The problem is that it is entangled here, if it were not for Lai Xiaohu's intervention, they would definitely reach an agreement in the end, which is nothing more than a step back for both sides, or the boss can't support himself and takes a step back first.

Therefore, according to Lai Xiaohu's estimate, the price of this store may be around 35,000 yuan in the future. However, if you want to reach this price and both parties still reach an agreement, it will definitely require a long period of communication and negotiation between the two parties, and this process will definitely not be a short time. It's possible for months or even half a year.

Lai Xiaohu is not willing to wait for a few months or even half a year to wait for the other party to reduce the price significantly, and these few months are enough for Lai Xiaohu to make money in a store to buy the entire store directly. And even if he is willing to wait, it is someone else who negotiates with this boss, and there will naturally be no one else in the deal.

Lai Xiaohu wants to take down the store now, and it is impossible not to have a relatively high price. Of course, Lai Xiaohu was not stupid enough to directly agree to the price given by the other party, although more than 40,000 a month is not a large amount. However, in the case that it can be reduced, Lai Xiaohu will not take too much advantage of others.

After two days of negotiations, Lai Xiaohu and the other party finally reached an agreement on the lease price, and finally the two parties agreed to reach a contract with a monthly rent of 38,000 yuan. According to the previous agreement between the owner and the developer, Lai Xiaohu will buy the remaining lease time stipulated in the agreement from the other party. After the expiration of the previous agreement, the renewal of the lease will be negotiated again directly between Lai Xiaohu and the developer.

In the end, under the witness of Lai Xiaohu, the shop owner and the developer, the lease transfer contract was officially reached, and after the rent was paid, Lai Xiaohu took over the remaining management rights of the store for more than one year from the other party.

After the two parties have made a deal. The boss directly closed his clothing store, and then contacted the people to move his own things in the store in just one day.

After the other party left, only an empty store was left, but this is fine, Lai Xiaohu can also use the time before the Chinese New Year to decorate the store.

The matter of contacting the decoration team is temporarily put in charge of Song Yaqiao. After Lai Xiaohu completed the transfer with the original owner of the store, he turned to the owner of the store. That is, the original developer.

Lai Xiaohu naturally will not wait until the right to operate the store in his hand expires before discussing with the developer to renew the lease or buy the store directly. Because in the end, Lai Xiaohu will undoubtedly have to spend a lot of extra money.

Although the prices of the shops in this neighborhood are now declining, this is due to special circumstances, because the expectations were too good, so the prices are inflated, but after such a long period of decline, the prices here are constantly approaching its actual value.

Overall, the prices of nearby shops can be lower. However, no matter how low it is, it is about the same as it is now, and it is unlikely that there will be too much decline.

After the bottom, there is a rebound, and when the price reaches the actual price, the factors that affected the price decline of these stores in the first place will no longer work. On the contrary, its price may be about to start bottoming out.

This is absolutely possible, because at least Lai Xiaohu knows that the next two or three years will still be the time when the real estate market is hot in the country, especially in big cities like Shanghai, and there has been no real cooling of the real estate market.

As a commercial development, the price of shops is not lagging behind those residences, and even their prices are rising faster due to the popularity of commerce.

This is the general trend of the hot real estate market, which will not change, and under this general trend, these bottom merchants in Lai Xiaohu's location will naturally be affected.

That is to say, after the price has basically bottomed out, the price of these bottom merchants will also rise along with the increase in the overall commercial land price.

Now while the prices of these bottom merchants are still declining and have not really reached the bottom, it is the king to buy the land as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be so easy to buy it after the price of foreign prices rises.

For the arrival of Lai Xiaohu, the developer is naturally very excited, and it is becoming more and more difficult to see this kind of person who takes the initiative to ask for the bottom business.

In addition to the fact that these stores were hot when they first entered the market, as the business boom here slumped, the market of these bottom merchants also continued to decline, and it became more and more difficult to sell.

Especially since the second half of this year, almost no one has talked about buying a store anymore, and there is not even anyone who directly asks them to rent. So now that they see Lai Xiaohu, they are naturally very excited in their hearts.

Since Lai Xiaohu is willing to buy the land, the developer naturally has no reason to refuse, and even if Lai Xiaohu has a strong desire to buy, they can drop a little more on the basis of the current price. This shows how much they want to sell to a store.

As the developers of these stores, their business has not been good this year, and it can even be described as very difficult. These bottom merchants are like the products they produce, and now the products are not good, the prices are getting lower and lower, and there are fewer and fewer people to buy, and they are naturally becoming more and more difficult.

If the shop can't be sold or leased, they won't be able to get the development money back, and their own business may be in trouble without rent.

In order not to discourage Lai Xiaohu's enthusiasm, during the negotiations, the developer made a lot of concessions, and the two sides first calculated the average price of each store in the vicinity after the information statistics of a large number of nearby stores, and then on the basis of this price, the developer dropped a discount again, and finally the two sides closed the store at a nine-fold price.

As for the operating rights that Lai Xiaohu has purchased in the next year, the money will also be deducted from the funds that Lai Xiaohu needs to pay for the purchase of the store in the future according to a certain proportion. (To be continued......)
