Chapter 41: The Tricky Homeowner

In fact, among the three stores, Ning Hao's favorite is the one near the university town. One hundred and fifty or sixty square meters, a total of two floors, before the hot pot restaurant. Since it is a restaurant, gas, water and electricity must be ready-made, saving the trouble of reopening the application.

The most important thing is that it is next to the Yangcheng Forestry and Health School, not far from the Academy of Fine Arts, and within the limits of the university town. The location is the best, but the price is higher.

Ning Hao estimated that the simple decoration, plus some kitchen equipment, and miscellaneous things, were estimated to be about 2780,000.

This is still the most conservative estimate.

In this way, this business is really expensive, the store has not yet opened, and more than 200,000 have been scattered, if you add ingredients and employee salaries in the future, I am afraid that the daily flow is not a small amount.

Fortunately, although Ning Hao has never worked in a restaurant, after all, he has the cooking skills of the god of food, so there is no reason why he can't even run a small restaurant.

Wu Xinxin called the owner of the house in the university town, set a time, and the two of them went out together.

Out of the intermediary's door, Wu Xinxin asked, "Mr. Ning, what kind of store are you renting a storefront to open?" ”

"Restaurants."

"Western food?"

"Chinese food."

"That's pretty good!"

What's so great about opening a Chinese restaurant? Ning Hao was a little unsure.

Seeing that the corners of Ning Hao's mouth were slightly raised, Wu Xinxin realized that her words sounded like they were looking for words intentionally or unintentionally, and they were talking to death.

Her face was slightly red, and she added with some embarrassment, "I mean, you are so young and you started your own business, which is very admirable!" ”

Ning Hao smiled, "Just find something to do, go back and wait for my store to open, welcome to come!" ”

"Good! Definitely! Wu Xinxin happily agreed.

The demeanor is suave and elegant, and the appearance is fresh and handsome. Wu Xinxin had a good impression of Ning Hao, and when she heard Ning Hao say that she wanted to open a store, she took the initiative to mention the situation of the previous tenant to him.

"The owner of the college town, a bit like to take advantage. The last tenant was the original dry hot pot restaurant. Business is not bad, it is full almost every day. When the landlord saw it, his eyes were hot, and as soon as the contract expired, he took back the house and did it himself. As a result, in less than a year, he lost his capital, so he rented out in a hurry. Although the rent in that area is a bit high, but her shop is not facing the street, the price is a bit inflated, and I can talk about it again, I think it is more reasonable between 150,000 and 160,000. ”

Doing business on his own, Ning Hao is the first time a bride has been married. He didn't know anything about the rules and regulations here. Listening to Wu Xinxin analyzing and explaining for him on the side, Ning Hao was very grateful.

The two chatted while walking, and when they arrived on the side of the road, Ning Hao was going to call a taxi, but he didn't expect Wu Xinxin to go straight to a car on the side of the road and open the door.

"Take my car, it's not close if you go back and forth."

I didn't see that this Wu Xinxin is quite petty bourgeoisie, a new energy hybrid vehicle with a green license plate, and this kind of car has a low configuration of 300,000 yuan.

Think about himself, although he got his driver's license in his sophomore year. However, after passing the driver's license test, I haven't touched a car. In fact, if you have a car, it is quite convenient.

Ning Hao agreed, if this month's live broadcast can always follow this momentum, he will almost be able to buy a car at the end of the month.

Wu Xinxin drove very steadily, and the two of them drove forward, and it took less than fifteen minutes to reach the vicinity of the university town.

The store was on the side street, and beyond that was an ordinary residential building.

The billboard on the front of the store has not been removed, and it still hangs above the store. At the door of the shop, a woman in her forties and fifties was already waiting in front of the roller shutter.

Seeing Ning Hao and Wu Xinxin coming over, the woman opened her mouth and complained, "Why have you been doing it for so long, we have been waiting for you for dozens of minutes!" ”

Wu Xinxin said with a smiling face, "When I came, the intersection was a little blocked, and I waited for the lights for a while, Auntie, I kept you waiting." ”

The woman snorted, turned around and opened the roller shutter door, and walked inside, "Xiao Wu, we haven't cooperated once or twice, you also know that Auntie is very busy, I am hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute, to be honest, money is a number for me, I don't fancy more money and less money, this house is idle and idle, the location is good, and the people waiting to rent are lined up at the east gate!" You said you, I've been hanging the house in your company for almost half a month, and you haven't done your best to help me rent it out, but I have seen the house many times. Is this reliable or not today? Don't turn around and let me run for nothing, I'll be waiting for you here for dozens of minutes! ”

Wu Xinxin kept laughing, but Ning Hao frowned, he heard Wu Xinxin talk about the landlord before, he only felt that this person was a little bit of a citizen, and he loved to take advantage. However, it doesn't matter if you think that the rent is paid annually and you don't usually come into contact with it.

I didn't expect this woman to be so difficult. It can be said that she is rude.

From the company here, it takes no more than ten minutes to drive here, how can it be as exaggerated as she said. And complained in front of him, listening to her tone as if Ning Hao was not a sincere renter.

Of course, these were also the thoughts in Ning Hao's heart, he didn't want to reason with the other party, he just followed the old woman into the house.

The house is similar to the information on the website, upstairs and downstairs, with a total of six small tables below, three large private rooms upstairs, and a small storage room.

"How's that, pretty good, right? Let me tell you, the things here are basically brand new, the stove, the tableware, and the tables and chairs in the hall are no different from new, and if you open a restaurant, these things should be usable. ”

Ning Hao was noncommittal, and looked in the kitchen, but he didn't dare to be interested in these kitchen utensils. In the past, this was a Sichuan-style hot pot, and the entire stove was eroded by oil, and the tiles on the walls were also covered with a thick layer of grease.

"Can it be settled? If you settle down, I will give you all the kitchen utensils and tables, chairs and tableware outside. The landlord asked.

To be honest, Ning Hao is not very interested in these furniture, what he is going to do is a small restaurant, which is not the same way as the hot pot restaurant, some equipment is not used at all, and these things are too dirty, they may not be able to clean it out. It's what the landlord said, the stove has only been used for less than a year, and the bracket under it is also rusty. Look at the corrosion like this, whether it can be used or not.

Ning Hao smiled reluctantly, "I'm going to open a small noodle restaurant, I may not be able to use your equipment." ”

If he obviously refused, the landlord still didn't give up, "Why can't you use it, don't you use a pot to cook noodles, and do guests have to stand and eat?" ”

Ning Hao was already a little impatient, whoever rented a storefront, no matter what, he had to clean it up. The landlord lost money in business, and now he has to buy one and stuff all these messy things into him.

Not to mention whether this thing can be used or not, if it is redecorated, you have to consider the problem of decoration style matching.

Even if it is a small restaurant, it should be neat and neat, giving diners a comfortable dining environment.

"Let's talk about these things when we sign the contract." Ning Hao stepped sideways and glanced at the situation in the bathroom.

Speaking of the contract, the landlord immediately answered, "Xiao Wu, I was about to tell you, the rent on our side has risen this year, and I plan to increase this rent as well, 170,000 a year." ”

How much? 170,000, 160,000 Ning Hao disliked a lot, this one is good, and it went up by 10,000 directly.

Now it's different from the past, and there are many street foods. The whole shopping street is lined up one after another, and the restaurants are next to each other. What yellow braised chicken rice, Shaxian snacks, spicy tang, sha......bu skewers, snacks from all over the world, almost all the names that can be thought of.

It is conceivable how fierce the competition is now, not to mention the cost of materials, labor, water and electricity to open a restaurant.

Although the university town is next to the school, it is a suburb after all, and there are not too many local residents, and when the students are on vacation, there are almost no customers on the street. If you count it, a year is a maximum of seven or eight months of business.

According to the landlord's algorithm, even if you are barely profitable, most of the income will go to the landlord's pocket after a year of hard work.

Ning Hao didn't argue directly, but looked back at Wu Xinxin.

Wu Xinxin's heart is also a little confused, they act as intermediaries, and they basically have a number of nearby rent prices. The rent of 160,000 yuan for this shop is a bit inflated. This time it's good, the landlord's aunt actually went up by 10,000 directly, and your price increase is too arbitrary.

"Auntie, who did you listen to that the rent has gone up? When you put the house on our side before, didn't we negotiate a good price? ”

"The price is floating! Xiao Wu, didn't I say you, you are an intermediary, don't you know this? Commercial housing, commercial housing, since it is a commodity, of course, the price will fluctuate! I have asked several homeowners around, and now the rent has risen, even if it has not increased this year, and they are ready to increase the price when it expires. The landlord said justifiably.

Ning Hao is actually not particularly satisfied with this shop, although the location and area are quite good, but the sanitary conditions in this house are really worrying, there is a disgusting smell in the whole house, like the smell of rotten meat, and I don't know if it is oil or rotten meat that has penetrated under the floor. If you really rent this place, it is estimated that deodorization is still quite troublesome.

What's more, the landlord temporarily raised the price by 10,000 yuan, which made it even more difficult for Ning Hao to accept.

Price is one thing, and at the same time, doing business should also pay attention to harmony and wealth, and this landlord has a mean face. If you rent her shop, maybe there will be some moths in the future.

Wu Xinxin was still arguing with the landlord, Ning Hao turned around and walked out directly, "Miss Wu, let's go to the next one and have a look." ”

Wu Xinxin sighed, although this area is next to two universities, but this campus has only been moved here for a few years, the surrounding amenities are not perfect, and the community is also newly built, so the popularity is not good. The rent of 160,000 yuan is already a bit inflated, and the landlord and aunt don't know where she heard the news, and she has to raise the rent.

People must make a profit when they open a store, and if you raise the house price so high, who can be willing, and all the hard-earned money will fall on the room fee.

Seeing that Ning Hao and Wu Xinxin were leaving, the landlord and aunt were suddenly unhappy, and shouted behind her with her waist crossed, "No, Xiao Wu, that's how your intermediary works?" Every time I bring this kind of unreliable people to come, my store is in such a good location, it has been hanging in your company for more than half a month, the house has not been rented out, and the idlers who look at the house are batch after batch. I'm not going to hang the house with you! ”

Wu Xinxin was a little aggrieved, and persuaded euphemistically, "Auntie, your rent is really a bit high, we are not an urban area, you see, people are also sincerely here to see the house, can we discuss this rent again." ”

"What is there to discuss, our location, it's worth this price, if you really can't afford to buy and sell, don't Zhang Luo, the rent is only 170,000 a year, the same as the white pick-up, this has no courage, what kind of business, how good it is to set up a stall directly on the street, you don't have to pay a penny, then it will be energetic!"

The landlord's mouth was very broken, and he said a lot, but it was endless, "I have this house, there are more people who want to rent, the prime location, do anything to make money, there was a spicy hot seller before, want to rent my shop, I told the people of the business committee, even if it is rented, we also see what people do, like the kind of snack that lowers the grade of the entire commercial street, I am resolutely resistant......"

Ning Hao was upset when he heard what she said, and replied directly, "Since it is a prime location, why did you lose it when you did it yourself?" Since you can't look down on the kind of snacks that are not up to grade, how good is it for you to keep it for yourself and open a restaurant? ”

The landlord was so choked by his words that he couldn't speak.

Wu Xinxin hurriedly came out to play the round, and stepped forward to say sorry to the old woman repeatedly.

"Auntie, this boss is going to open a Chinese restaurant here, and people sincerely want to rent a house."

Originally, the old woman was choked by Ning Hao and couldn't speak, but now after listening to Wu Xinxin's persuasion, she became energetic again.

"What sincere, let me tell you, Xiao Wu, who I rent this house to, I won't rent it to him, 170,000 is too much, let him go to the roadside stall!"

Wu Xinxin was afraid that Ning Hao would be angry, so she hurriedly glanced at him and asked him not to worry about the old lady.

Although Ning Hao was a little angry, he also knew this kind of person, the more you entangled with her, the more unreasonable she became.

He didn't pay attention to her at the moment, but when he didn't hear the old woman's chattering and cursing, he turned and walked away.

The two of them left the store, and Wu Xinxin said to Ning Hao apologetically, "Mr. Ning, I'm really sorry, this landlord aunt has a very strange temperament, to be honest, every time we bring someone over to see the house at the same time, we are scared." The rent of 160,000 yuan is already a bit inflated, I didn't expect her to temporarily increase the price, I knew this, I wouldn't have brought you over to see it, and I was angry. ”
