Made up my mind.

Early the next morning, Chen Jin went out and drove straight to the city.

Since he decided to open a jewelry store, Chen Jin had to rent a suitable space and renovate and modify it to create a jewelry storefront.

What kind of place is suitable for opening a jewelry store?

Undoubtedly, it is certainly a place with a large flow of people and customers, a place with active economic activity and prosperity, which is the most suitable place to open a jewelry store.

For example, the first floor of a large shopping mall.

A prominent location on a bustling shopping street.

In short, it must be opened in the place with the highest density of people in order to bring the greatest benefits.

Of course, Chen Jin has to aim at these places to find them.

However, he does not plan to open a jewelry store in a shopping mall, the environment of the shopping mall is very complex, the secrecy is low, and the store is difficult to open large, which is not suitable for renovation.

He wants to rent a three- or four-storey commercial building with an operating area of more than 300 square meters to create a large-scale, well-developed gold and silver building.

Of course, there are such commercial buildings, and there are quite a few of them, so they are easy to find.

But the rent is somewhat surprisingly expensive.

In particular, the rent of shops in the central business district is generally more than 35 yuan/square meter/day, and the annual rent of a shop of about 300 square meters is as high as three or four million.

In more prosperous areas, the other party offered more than 5 million.

Chen Jin felt speechless: "No wonder it is said on the Internet that physical stores are not easy to do, a large number of physical stores in the city center have been closed, your rent has risen so high, who can still do it?" ”

You must know that being an entity not only has to face the rent that rises every year, the wages of employees, but also has to pay business taxes, sanitation fees, management fees, and this and that fees, all aspects of which have to be costly.

Even if you open a gold store, you will not be able to bear it in the face of skyrocketing rents.

Jinling West Road, No. 188, Chen Jin's eye-catching three-story 298-square-meter shop, which used to be a gold and silver jewelry store, was still a relatively famous "Lukfook" jewelry, which was closed some time ago due to rising rents.

Chen Jin called the landlord and wanted to rent this shop.

Soon I met the owner himself, a middle-aged man with a fortune, who was very fond of this beer belly, surnamed Li, and Chen Jin called him "Boss Li".

"Boss Li, how do you rent this three-story shop? How much rent a year? Chen Jin asked.

"You want to rent?" The other party looked at him suspiciously, so young, can he come up with so much money to rent a shop?

"Yes, but I need to find out about the rent." Chen Jin nodded.

"5.5 million a year, 10 million for two years, at least for more than one year! Pay half a year's rent first, can you get so much money? The other party looked at Chen Jin with a little mockery, casually a few million, you are a young boy, you have so much money.

"Can it be cheaper? More than 5 million ...... per year It's a little too high. Chen Jin frowned slightly, and the image of the other party's oily face and round belly became quite hateful.

The other party waved his hand and said: "I love renting, now in this market, I won't drop a penny of rent!" ”

He stood up and wanted to go outside.

"Long-term lease for three years, 14 million, no rent increase halfway, we will sign a contract and pay the money immediately, do you rent or not?" Chen Jin stopped him.

The other party paused, thought for a moment, and thought for a while: "14.8 million, pay 5 million first!" We can sign a contract. ”

"Deal!"

It's just a few hundred thousand, Chen Jin is too lazy to bargain with him, but when he officially signed the contract, Chen Jin, who was worried that Boss Li would raise the rent halfway, asked to add a clause to the contract: "If Party A breaches the contract and adjusts the rent halfway, Party A must return the remaining rent and compensate Party B 50 million!" ”

"50 million, no! I will refund you the rest of the rent at most, I don't agree to this! Boss Li blushed and said, it was difficult to accept this.

"Then I don't believe in your credit, this one must be added! Otherwise, cancel the cooperation! Chen Jin's attitude has also become tougher.

"You—" The other stared at him.

"There are so many shops that I have available now, and I can find what I want whenever I want."

"Okay, I've signed the contract."

The other party had no choice but to sign, although it was very unhappy to be restricted from raising the rent, but 14.8 million for three years, 50% more than the previous home, it was really difficult for him to meet such a generous tenant as the young man in front of him, his shop had been idle for almost three months, and others asked the price and ran, and then did not rent it out quickly, he really had to consider reducing the price a little.

The contract was signed quickly, and through bank transfer, Chen Jin also paid 5 million to the other party's account, and then got a bunch of keys.

The right to use the commercial building at No. 188 Jinling West Road is officially owned by Chen Jin.

But then, someone needs to be responsible for the interior decoration of this commercial building, as well as the subsequent management and operation.

Chen Jin definitely didn't have time to take care of this jewelry store, so he could only hand it over to a professional professional manager and let professionals help take care of it.

So he spent 50,000 yuan and asked the headhunter to help him find a suitable candidate and introduce him to him for an interview.

On the third day, the headhunter agency helped him find a person, a middle-aged woman named Qiu Wanting.

She is 43 years old, married, has more than 20 years of experience in the jewelry industry, and has been a jewelry store manager for more than 10 years.

What's even more coincidental is that Qiu Wanting's last job was as the store manager of the Luk Fook Jewellery Store in the No. 188 commercial building rented by Chen Jin, and she worked for six years, so she is extremely familiar with this commercial building.

After the Lukfook jewellery store closed, she fell into a state of unemployment and did not find a suitable job for several months.

"That's her, there won't be a more suitable person than her!"

Although she hadn't met Qiu Wanting yet, she had already become the most suitable candidate in Chen Jin's heart, thinking that she would be recruited no matter what.

After contacting Qiu Wanting herself through the contact information sent to him by the headhunting agency, Chen Jin asked her to do a simple interview in a coffee shop.

After seeing Qiu Wanting herself, Chen Jin was even more satisfied, she was obviously dressed up carefully, wearing delicate light makeup, her hair was well coiled, her upper body was in a small black suit, her lower body was narrow, her round long legs were wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, and her appearance was medium to high, but she was dignified and intellectual, gentle and soft, exuding a mature charm.

...... This word popped up in Chen Jin's head.

And because of her perennial experience in the workplace, she is generous and neat.

can even mobilize the atmosphere, and the humorous words that pop up from time to time make Chen Jin happy.

Chen Jin was extremely satisfied with his performance in all aspects.

Looking at the young boss in front of her, Qiu Wanting was actually even more surprised: he was not much older than his son, so he began to spend tens of millions to start a business.

Secret Path: My son knows how to play games all day long, and I don't know what he can do after graduation? She can't control it, she can't fight and can't fight, sometimes she is angry and just wants to cry! Compared with the young boss in front of him, it is simply one in the sky and one underground.

"In this way, Aunt Qiu, in terms of treatment, I will give you two choices."

"One, a fixed salary of 60,000 yuan per month, five insurances and one housing fund, but the commission is very small, mainly depends on the contribution you make."

"Two, a fixed salary of 30,000 yuan per month, plus a 1% profit commission, and other benefits are the same, mainly depending on the benefits of the store."

"Aunt Qiu, may I ask which one do you choose?"

Chen Jin asked.

"I'll pick the first one."

Qiu Wanting made a choice without hesitation and got a fixed salary!

Now due to the sharp rise in shop rents, it is difficult for various industries to do well! Including the jewelry industry, even if hundreds of millions of sales are achieved every year, the gross profit will not exceed 10 million, and after deducting the costs of rent, business taxes, water and electricity bills, etc., as well as the profits taken by the boss, it is extremely rare to distribute to the employees.

I'm even afraid that no one will believe it, when she was the store manager of the last Lukfook jewelry store, due to the choice of the salary payment system of guaranteed + commission, the average monthly salary was less than 15,000, and it was only seven or eight thousand in the off-season...... You know, she's the store manager!

So when faced with a similar choice again, she did not hesitate to choose a higher fixed salary.

As a senior practitioner, she actually persuaded the young boss in front of her not to do the jewelry industry, this industry is not very profitable, you invest so much, it is very likely to lose money!

But seeing the young boss's longing and eager look, her lips moved, and she swallowed her words back.

After all...... She's just a part-time worker.

"Okay, Aunt Qiu, you can start joining the company from today, this is the key to the shop, I will hand it over to you, and transfer another 1 million to you, you ask a construction team to redecorate the interior of the shop, don't be afraid to spend more money, but complete the decoration as soon as possible within half a month!"

"One, a million?" Qiu Wanting was a little staggered, she had just joined the company, and the boss was relieved to transfer 1 million to her?

"What, any questions?"

"No, no."

"Then do as I tell you, I hope that by the end of this month, my jewelry store will be grandly opened!"

"Okay, I'll do my best!" Qiu Wanting nodded.

Chen Jin also nodded, first added a WeChat to keep in touch, and then went to the bank to transfer 1 million to her, and the decoration work of the jewelry store was all handed over to her.
