Chapter Twenty-Nine: Mrs. Gao, the Landlady
Although I felt that the "owner" was nervous, and the store was a little gloomy, we couldn't stand Zhao Shuihe's greeting, so we had to follow them in. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Because I was afraid of the traffic police sticking stickers, I left Ah Si to watch the car.
The house was empty, but the wooden floors, the flooded wall paint, and the dust in the air all spoke of the old smell of the building. The curtain only has two windows in the direction of the street, which refract the light, and through the windows, I can see the bustling crowd on the road.
The contrast between the noise outside and the tranquility of the interior is stark, as if two very different worlds are by a window.
It's a real ...... Very nice shop.
It can be said that when I first entered the store, my heart was puzzled, but when I looked at this store carefully, my heart was moved, because this store is like a beauty sleeping in trouble, she is quiet and alone, just waiting for someone who understands her to come on a date with her and discover her beauty, and when she is unveiled, it is a moment when we are amazed!
The most important thing is...... This beauty is really (harmonious) cheap!
How could I let it go of such a good opportunity that I couldn't find with a lantern! And I now have more than 100,000 yuan left in hand to sell the crotch of my pants, and if I don't decide to reopen the store, I will really have to set up an open-air stall to sell soy milk oil cakes.
So, I couldn't help but ask the landlord, the fat lady, "I said wife, do you really only rent 100,000 yuan for this shop?"
"100,000! But the cash payment cannot be delayed. The woman replied firmly, and unexpectedly, she also took the initiative to tell me the reason for the low rent of the shop.
The landlady said that her surname was Gao, her family was local, and she was very rich when she married a husband, but when a man was rich, he became bad, and later disliked Mrs. Gao's fortune, and she looked at her sister-in-law, transferred all the money abroad, and then went to the United States to get away.
But I never thought that people with money can't stand up to their ideas, these two mandarin ducks just arrived in the United States, just in time for the 911 air disaster, when the two were taking pictures on the twin buildings, they were hit by a bearded plane, and they left their lives in the free world, and the bodies were not found.
Lawyer Gu said that Mrs. Gao's estate was deposited in a Swiss bank, even if she sued the United Nations, she couldn't take it out without going to her. The inheritance that the wife can inherit is only a few real estate and small deposits in the country.
However, although Mrs. Gao suffers a loss, she can rely on real estate rental and live a good life, so she really treats the rental house as a golden rice bowl, and eats Haisai every day, and she has no savings, and she should not need to save.
But now, Mrs. Gao began to spend money for herself without moderation, and settled the account.
It turned out that half a year ago, Mrs. Gao had benign myeloma, and the tumor was not very good, although she was temporarily dying, but she also urgently needed a sum of money for surgery.
It stands to reason that the family has a big business, and it is not a problem to take out hundreds of thousands of treatment costs, but the helpless wife is used to being extravagant, when she really wants to use the money, she looks at the account, and then she finds that she has no savings, and she borrows from relatives, but there is still a loophole of 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, and she can't make up for it.
In the end, the only thing Mrs. Gao could count on was the seven or eight stores in her hand.
Her shops are all prosperous shops, not to mention seventy or eighty thousand a year, even the rent of seven or eight hundred thousand is not a problem, but the key Mrs. Gao is too ruthless, before she got sick, she had already received the rent to Brazil for the Olympic Games, and she is still asking for money in advance with others, who will take care of her.
Looking around, Mrs. Gao could only pin her hopes on her smallest storefront.
Mrs. Gu Gao said that the location of this store is very good, and in the past, there was a rent of 400,000 yuan a year, but I don't know why, since the clothing seller left three years ago, there have been no regular tenants.
Mrs. Gao's family has a big business, and this little money is not in her eyes, so this house has been idle for nearly half a year, and she would rather not rent it than bow her head at a low price. I never thought that her condition had progressed to the point where she was in urgent need of money, and it was not a question of whether Mrs. Gao rented it or not!
Since last month, in order to raise money for medical treatment, my wife has been writing advertisements in newspaper intermediaries, hoping to rent out the house as soon as possible for money.
But anyone who has rented or bought a house understands that this kind of real estate business must not be rushed, because there are too many factors involved, and the buyer and seller, who is in a hurry, will suffer.
And Mrs. Gao obviously made such a mistake.
After that, Mrs. Gao went to memorize the words, and for several months there was only a house to look at the house and no ancestral house, and she saw that the tumor on her bone was getting bigger and bigger, and her rent was getting lower and lower. Now, it has become a "land price" of 100,000 yuan per year.
After hearing this, the last trace of doubt in my heart disappeared, because I finally figured out the real reason for the low rent of this house.
While Mrs. Gao was talking, she took us to the thirty-square-meter underground warehouse.
Mrs. Gao stretched out her thick hand, pulled the lamp of the underground warehouse, pointed to the wooden boards and shelves and said: "My house, before the liberation, was a restaurant opened by a large family, and it is said that a Western restaurant was opened during the Republic of China, and this underground warehouse used to be a wine cellar. Perennial constant temperature, good very!"
When Mrs. Gao introduced this house, my heart was as sweet as honey, and I could even say that if it weren't for the large number of people, I would have wanted to jump up and shout a few times.
The house is so good that it has exceeded the limits of what I could have imagined. I even had a plan in my heart about how to decorate.
The 55-square-meter storefront, which is not big, can put down eight dining tables, and is planned, and can be engaged in two private rooms, but in such an atmospheric place, I feel that it is better to only engage in eight tables, not too cramped.
As for this wine cellar, it is a ready-made kitchen, but I feel that such a unique place, when I have spare money in the future, it will be more promising to build a private room for couples.
Mrs. Gao saw that I was thinking and kept silent, so she urged: "I said that the surname is Huo, you don't want to sell this store when you go to the chassis, hurry up and give a word, I'm waiting for the next house." ”
I was already about to come out, but in a cautious and respectful manner, I still didn't answer immediately, but turned my head and asked Zhao Haipeng: "Brother Zhao, how is this store?"
Zhao Haipeng was more cautious, he listened to my words, and carefully looked at the wine cellar of this hotel, although he was a little hesitant, but under the ardent expectation of me and Zhao Shuihe, Zhao Haipeng ...... In the end, he nodded.
He said to me, "Listen to the boss." Let's move as soon as possible!"
As soon as I said a word, I was as happy as a sparrow flying up the branches, and then I hurriedly wrote a contract to Mrs. Gao, handed over the license, and took the key.
The next day, everyone cleaned up all day, I followed Zhao Haipeng's Lu cuisine skills, and urgently recustomized a "Lu Weiju" signboard, and on the third day, before dawn, I took the people from the property company to move all our things over Siyan Street.
Everyone can see that I am too anxious to manage the pace of relocation, but I have my considerations, after all, this time has been going back to the word, I hope to use this move, change the signboard, to wash away the bad luck for more than a month, and boost everyone's confidence.
But...... I'm still happy too soon.
