I no longer looked directly at Zuo Lan, forcibly calmed myself, took the boiled water handed by Zuo Lan and took a sip of it, but it seemed to be cathartic.

After drinking a glass of water, I put on my coat and said to Zuo Lan, "I'm leaving." ”

"It's only half past one, and Lotte Mart's investment promotion department shouldn't be working yet, so you can rest for a while."

"Nope." I said as I picked up my car keys from my desk and headed out the door.

"I'll go with you, you don't know much about the road here, and it just so happens that I have a sister who is the head of the finance department of Lotte Mart, and she also helps." Zuo Lan stopped me, then went to the sofa to pick up Pipsqueak, and set off with Pipsqueak.

......

I drank alcohol, the car was handed over to Zuo Lan to drive, the road was a little congested, and when we arrived at Lotte Mart, it was already 2:15 in the afternoon, just in time for their work.

Zuo Lan parked her car in the open-air parking lot and made another call, and a moment later, a twenty-seven-eighteen-year-old woman wearing thin-rimmed glasses and professional clothes appeared at the door of the supermarket.

Zuo Lan said to me: "This is my friend, Bai Jing, let's go over." ”

I nodded and got out of the car with Zuo Lan.

Bai Jing waved at Zuo Lan, who was holding Pippi, and when Zuo Lan approached, he immediately took Pipi from Zuo Lan's hand, as if he was not close enough: "Pippi baby, I miss Mother Bai, a few days ago, your mother was on a business trip, and Mother Bai wanted to take you home to live, but Mother Bai was sick and didn't want to infect Pippi, so she ......!" ”

"Mother Bai, I don't want you to do so much!" Pipsqueak calmly interrupted Bai Jing's words.

Bai Jing was even happier, and said to Zuo Lan: "Our son is getting cooler and cooler, I don't know how many little girls I will charm in the future!" ”

Zuo Lan smiled with Bai Jing, and then introduced me to Bai Jing: "This is my friend Zhang Yixi. ”

When he heard the words "Zhang Yixi", Bai Jing's expression suddenly changed: "You are Zhang Yixi?" ”

I was a little surprised by her attitude, but I still nodded and said, "Hello." ”

Without waiting for Bai Jing to pick me up, Zuo Lan said: "I want to ask you for a favor today, Zhang Yixi wants to rent a shop in your Lotte Mart for catering, you go and say hello to your investment promotion department and help get a high-quality shop." ”

"What kind of help can you talk about such a small matter, it just so happens that there are still a lot of shops on the first floor of our side that have not been rented out, come with me, and I will take you to the manager of the investment promotion department." Bai Jing glanced at me obliquely and said, as if he was not interested in me, and even disgusted, the reason why he helped was completely against Zuo Lan.

When Bai Jing came to the investment promotion department, the manager of the investment promotion department received us, and because of Bai Jing, he immediately said that he would give me a cost-effective shop.

Bai Jing took Zuo Lan to her office to chat, while I took the rental quotation form of the store and went to the first floor to inspect the shop accompanied by the manager of the investment promotion department.

After inspecting a few, I was not satisfied, most of them were too large for me to eat, and after a turn, I finally found a shop of about 130 square meters next to KFC that was already open, which was exactly what I wanted.

I said to the investment manager: "This shop is not bad, but the layout structure is a bit messy!" "I didn't show too much interest, but instead made a shortcoming, and was ready to prepare for a bargain later.

"Boss Zhang, this shop is adjacent to KFC, and its popularity is definitely guaranteed, but it's a golden shop!"

I changed the subject slightly: "You Lotte Mart is quite bold, you have eaten the whole building!" ”

"When we first entered the market, we talked to the developer about leasing the whole building, and we are very confident in our investment attraction ability and brand influence."

I smiled and said, "The Korean brand (Lotte Mart Korean Supermarket) is quite good at self-packaging, so let's take a look at other stores." After saying that, he continued to walk forward with a look of indifference.

The investment manager looked at me suspiciously and tested me: "Boss Zhang, the shop just now is really good, but the rent is very high, and many people want it, but they are all retreating because of the rent!" ”

I "laughed" in my heart that this was the rhythm that I was going to cut, and he said this to prove that his psychological defenses had been loosened, but he still had some doubts about my financial resources. Shopping malls are like that, wits and courage are everywhere.

I seemed to inadvertently shake the Cayenne car key in front of him, and then said: "The shop is good, I think it's okay, but the surrounding climate has not yet formed, and there are two empty shops, which will definitely affect the business." ”

"The shop will have to be rented out sooner or later, and are you afraid that there will be no customers relying on KFC?" The investment manager tried to convince me further, and I judged that this shop made him very tricky, and there must be a lot of people to talk to, but there were not many reliable ones, and he wished that he would rent out this hot potato as soon as possible, and save himself trouble.

"Huh, KFC? It's no longer the time for these foreign fast food to create myths in China, and it's not good to be overly superstitious about KFC! In addition, it is difficult to form a climate by relying on his family alone, and I think KFC has put pressure on you to rent out the surrounding shops as soon as possible to form a climate. I said with a smirk.

The investment manager smiled bitterly: "Boss Zhang, your eyes are too poisonous, you really guessed it...... You are a friend of Manager Bai, I won't hide it from you, there is indeed an explanation above, rent out this shop as soon as possible, even if you sacrifice the price! ”

"Actually, the price is not a problem, the main thing is that I can't accept the way you pay."

"And what do you mean?"

"You're paying annual rent now, aren't you?"

The investment manager nodded and said, "That's right, we pay for large shops on an annual basis, smaller shops on a quarterly basis, and shops on the third floor on a monthly basis, as long as you pay enough deposit!" ”

I smiled and shook my head, didn't speak, and continued walking.

The investment manager followed me and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

At this time, the investment manager has completely fallen into passivity, and I don't have to have this shop, so I simply opened my mouth: "My willingness is to pay it monthly, of course, we must pay the deposit in full, and the rent will be reduced by 10% on the existing basis every month, which is the requirement." ”

The investment manager shook his head again and again: "Boss Zhang, you are too unrealistic, your requirements are completely beyond my authority!" ”

I said in a calm tone: "If you exceed it, you can apply, anyway, I have this condition, if you can approve it, I can sign the contract at any time, if it can't be approved, notify me in advance, I can consider other families, in short, I am sincere, the initiative is also handed over to you, you do your best, okay?" ”

The investment manager looked embarrassed, and asked for a while: "If you pay it monthly, are you sure you will pay the full deposit?" If it's OK, I'll apply. ”

"Don't worry, if you're not sure, isn't it a waste of everyone's time, you just go and talk, there's no problem with the margin on my side."

"Okay, then you wait for my news!"

I nodded, and I was relieved, this shop is indeed the best shop at present, once the business district here forms a climate, the fat stall will definitely become a money-making machine here.

The reason why I want monthly rent, because the budget is really insufficient, the annual rent here is 300,000, pay the rent on an annual basis, it is simply impossible, if on a monthly basis, pay more than 20,000 yuan a month in rent, it is completely affordable, and the fast food industry is a fast-moving consumer industry, the return of funds is very fast, once the return is strong, the payment of rent is not a big problem, since I have chosen here, I have 90% of the money to make money, I judge that the business district here will soon form a climate.
