Chapter 206: Choosing a New Store Site
Opening a store in the city is not an easy task, from small locations to large operations, it takes a lot of thought. At present, there are only three best locations in the county: one is the bus station where they are now, with the largest flow of passengers, but the streets are narrow, dirty and messy have almost become the norm here, if the sanitary conditions and public facilities cannot keep up, Shui Yao concluded that this place can only set up some small stalls in the future, which is contrary to the original intention of opening a large-scale high-end hotel in his own plan, so the station was first excluded by the father and daughter.
Secondly, the street opposite the printing factory near the original unit of Shui Daquan, where their food truck would pass by every time it ended its business, there might be a suitable shop for rent, and the two regarded this place as one of the alternatives.
When it comes to the last location, Shui Yao really has to sigh at the wonder of fate, thinking that when he first came here, the first place he inspected was the cinema, and he couldn't have liked it more. In this era, for most people, the number of times they watch movies will not exceed two times a year, and during the Chinese New Year, young and old will carry their own small horses and clutch together, holding some melon seeds and peanuts in their hands, waiting for the movie projectionist to show the movie.
Although they are now in the county seat, to be honest, there is only such a movie theater within a radius of dozens of miles, and even many people from other places have to come over to watch a movie with their families to relax and have fun. However, at that time, thinking that he had just arrived, and he didn't have much money in his pocket, and the situation at that time forced him, not only Li Xuemei, but also several people who secretly did small business here were arrested by the steward, even if such a long time had passed, Shui Yao couldn't be sure if they were released.
But now it's different, doing business has become a glorious thing advocated by the state, I believe that it won't be long before the news will spread all over the city, if they can take advantage of the early action now, seize the opportunity, time is money, opportunity is a springboard, the advantage is not ten fingers can be counted.
Thinking about the twists and turns in this, Shui Yao immediately decided: "Dad, let's open the store in the cinema, do you think it's okay?"
When Shui Yao said this, his face was full of confidence, and the light in his eyes couldn't be stopped, Shui Daquan thought about it for a while, and felt more and more that his daughter's idea was wonderful.
"The cinema is such a great place. Think about it, there is no better place in the whole county than here. I've been so busy these past few months, and I'm guilty that I haven't even taken you to a movie. It's just that every time I pass by there, I see a sea of people, the entrance of the movie theater is blocked, so many people queuing up to buy tickets, you always have to have a meal after watching the movie! But there really aren't any decent restaurants there. If we can take root in our business there, it will be just around the corner to replace the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Hotel! ”
After the father and daughter reached an agreement, they went directly to the county seat early the next morning. The first thing they had to do was to return the eggshell-sized place they had rented. In the past few months, the landlady has become more and more rampant, seeing that their father and daughter are doing well in business, and they have more money in their hands, they are more and more unable to hold on to it, and the rent has risen several times.
"Dad, guess what the old lady's expression would be if she knew that you were not renewing the lease with her?"
When it comes to the old lady of the landlord, Shui Daquan is as uncomfortable as eating, but this time he has already made up his mind that he will not renew the lease no matter what, it was all a legitimate business that you and I are willing to do before, and presumably the old pious woman will not be too good.
Because they were in a hurry, the two of them arrived at the place and it was just dawn, but the old lady seemed to be more energetic than the two of them, and she was already looking like she had eaten breakfast, and she was drinking a cup of jasmine tea in her hand.
"Brother Shui, you're here pretty early today. I know you still have business to do, but today we have to talk about renewing the lease next month. Now your business is getting better and better, and I see it in my eyes, and I am sincerely happy for you! But isn't it because you rented my feng shui treasure land! So, today's old woman, I have the cheekiness to touch your light again, I think about this rent, 18 yuan a month is really not good to collect, in the end I have to find two pieces for you, or you just pull the whole calculation, 20 yuan a month can not be rented, you can't be fooled, we are all old acquaintances. ”
For this old pious woman, who has a thicker skin than the mountain base behind their house, it has long been commonplace to blatantly ask for money, and it is estimated that the sweetness she has eaten a few times ago is now more and more excessive. However, the clay man is still three-point bloody, and the rabbit bites when he is in a hurry! After all, the old lady has lived for such an age, she is dazzled, and she doesn't speak when she sees Shui Daquan's calm face, so she knows that the other party may be angry. However, in line with the principle that you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, and the old lady smiled even brighter at this time.
"Daquan, you are angry, my old lady I have never been a greedy person for money, and I would not have rented this place to the two of you for a mere ten yuan in the first place, so that you could use it for so long. To tell you the truth, someone came yesterday and said that he would use 30 yuan a month to contract this piece of land, but I have been thinking about our affection, gritted my teeth and did not let go, so I have the opportunity for you to come here today and need to rent......"
The old lady's voice was wave after wave, hoarse and low and slashing, Shui Daquan was very uncomfortable to listen to, seeing that the other party had almost expressed the meaning, he didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he waved his hand directly to signal the other party to stop.
"Then I thank you for your kindness. However, if someone is offering a higher price, you can rent it to him. Besides, from today onwards, my daughter and I will not renew our lease here. Thank you for taking care of us for so long, I wish you a prosperous business, this month has just reached the end of the month, today we will move things directly, and we will not come again in the future. ”
After Shui Daquan finished speaking, he motioned for Shui Yao to go over and move things. The change in a short period of time caught the old lady off guard. She thought that the father and daughter had always been easy to talk to, and the price was slightly raised by one or two yuan, even if she was dissatisfied with something, she was embarrassed to clash with herself head-on for these walnuts and dates. But now that the two of them are not renting directly, how can this make her not panic? For a moment, the old lady's whole heart was like an orange peel, pitted and wrinkled.
"Alas...... You guys, no, how good is this place, why are you suddenly not renting? Aren't you in business? ”
How prosperous is the business of Shui Daquan fast food truck, but I have seen it several times with my own eyes, obediently, a boxed lunch is sold for several yuan, how can ordinary people withstand such three meals a day? If it goes on like this, even if you have a mine at home, you can be empty! Therefore, the old lady was very sure that she would not believe that she would be beaten to death, and she would not believe that Shui Daquan would put such a large piece of oil and water with white flowers.
"You don't need to worry about whether the business is done or not, we will change places in the future."
After I changed the dining car, it was much easier to go back and forth, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them packed up their things, and without waiting for the old lady to say anything, when the other party reacted, there were only two backs left.
"Phew, selfish guy who doesn't care if others live or die, I curse you to sell what you lose! But these two people don't rent anymore, how can I collect this money in the future...... What do I eat and drink, old lady......"
After getting rid of the old lady who was full of lies, he finally drew a line with this guy and began to rush to the two locations that had been discussed before. Although the movie theater is their favorite, the printing house is not bad. Even if he meets Wang Mianmian and her family in the future, I believe that with the support of policies, the other party will not dare to make any stumbling blocks with him.
The most important thing is that since she was deflated here in Shui Yao last semester, Wang Mianmian seems to have understood something, and she has some scruples about saying and doing anything, and she doesn't dare to spit out the fragrance so easily, compared to the arrogance and domineering of this guy when he first arrived, I don't know how many times better. People don't offend me, I don't offend people, so most of the water has passed in peace.
Coincidentally, as soon as the father and daughter arrived here, they came across the information that someone was renting a house, and the location happened to be opposite the printing house. The whole room area is 50 square meters, and the rent is 25 yuan per month, which can be regarded as fair. At least many times better than the eggshells they rented earlier in terms of location and hygiene. No wonder the old lady is so obsessed with rent, and it seems that she really treats their father and daughter as monkeys.
As soon as he heard the conditions offered by the owner, Shui Daquan was immediately moved. If it weren't for Shui Yao pulling on the side, I am afraid that I would have paid the rent directly and pressed my fingerprint on the paper with the landlord.
"Don't worry, we haven't seen it at the cinema yet! Although the location is good, have you ever wondered why the rent is so cheap? The sound of squeaky machines buzzing in my ears all day long, who wants to sit here and eat in peace? ”
When Shui Daquan heard it, it was indeed such a reason, and he was no longer stubborn. I patiently went to the cinema and asked several in a row, and made a detailed investigation of the store location. In the end, a place was chosen just one block away from the movie theater. Although the monthly rent is as high as 30 yuan, it is better to be clean and tidy, the environment is elegant, and it is not far from the theater and the printing house, and it can almost take care of the guests who come from the county as a prosperous area.
"Okay, here it is! The vast world is promising! ”
