Chapter 57 Leasing a Storefront
As the provincial capital of Nanxiang Province, Cheung Chau is naturally very economically developed and prosperous. However, like this Hummer H6, it is also rare.
Li Qian's driving skills are not bad, the behemoth Hummer H6 drilled around in the car river on the road, very swaggering to see the car on the overtake, although it attracted the dissatisfaction of many car owners on the road, but none of them dared to speak out and scold.
Those who can drive a Hummer H6 are certainly not ordinary people, and the background of a Hummer with a military badge is even more terrifying.
Li Qian's cultivation and quality are not bad, she did not make the kind of arrogant act of hitting the red light in her eyes, she came to Hexi from Wuyi Avenue through the Xiangjiang Bridge, and then entered the Hexi University Town along the ring road.
In the envious eyes of many pedestrians, car owners, and drivers on the road, this dark green Hummer H6 slowly stopped at the north gate of the Tianma community.
Before Li Qian honked the horn, the security guard of the community opened the electric door very interestingly, neither interrogated nor registered, and let the Hummer H6 drive into the community.
The house that Li Qian shared with her classmates was located in Building 28 of Tianma Community, and she had contacted the landlord before coming and made an appointment to meet at 11 o'clock in the morning.
Park the Hummer in the parking space downstairs, and it just so happened that a black Passat also stopped at the station where Li Qian parked at this time.
Gao Zhan got out of the car, took out his mobile phone and dialed the landlord's mobile phone number.
The mobile phone of the middle-aged man surnamed the owner of the Passat also happened to ring at this time.
Gao Zhan just said hello, and as a result, he saw the middle-aged man who came out of the Passat cab with a bit of a successful personality holding his mobile phone and raising his hand with him.
"Mr. Zheng, it seems that we are quite destined! I've just arrived, and so have you. Gao Zhan greeted the middle-aged man who walked towards him with a sunny face.
"It's better to come at a good time than to come at a good time!" The landlord, Mr. Zheng, looked at Gao Zhan very enthusiastically and smiled, and then his eyes fell on the body of the domineering Hummer H6 in front of him, and praised with a "tsk" in his mouth: "Hummer H6 is indeed mighty and extraordinary, and it is very enviable to have such a car!" Little brother, under Zheng Yanjun, I don't know the name of the little brother. ”
After speaking, he took out a business card holder from his pocket, took out a business card, and handed it to Gao Zhan with both hands.
"Mr. Zheng is polite." Gao Zhan accepted the business card with both hands, nodded and smiled: "The little surname is Gao, a single name is an exhibition, and Gao Zhan spreads his wings and flies high." ”
Zheng Yanjun, deputy general manager of Starlight Culture and Entertainment Development Co., Ltd., 139731*******
"It's really a person who lives up to its name, Gao Zhan, a good name." Zheng Yanjun nodded and smiled, looking Gao Zhan up and down.
Dressed in Versace, sitting on the military brand Hummer H6, although he is not very old, he is sure to be famous!
At this time, Li Qian got out of the cab and casually took off the sunglasses she was wearing on her face.
Lu Ying and Bai Lu also got out of the left and right car doors respectively.
The three beautiful delicate flowers with different temperaments suddenly made Zheng Yanjun's eyes light up, and he stayed for a few seconds before coming back to his senses.
"Mr. Zheng, I want to go up and see the house first, you see?" When everyone met for the first time, Gao Zhan naturally would not introduce Zheng Yanjun to his female companion.
"No problem, no problem." Zheng Yanjun nodded repeatedly, and was even more sure that the young man named Gao Zhan in front of him was not simple.
You must know that Zheng Yanjun is engaged in the cultural and entertainment industry, and he doesn't know how many beauties he has seen, but the three beauties in front of him who accompanied Gao Zhan to see the house have the potential to become famous stars! Of course, this kind of beauty is not something that ordinary men can have.
Li Qian, Lu Ying and Bai Lu smiled indifferently and nodded to Zheng Yanjun, which was considered a courtesy.
Taking the elevator up to the fifteenth floor, Li Qian first took a look at the room 1503 she rented, from the locked door and various advertising leaflets stuffed under the door, knowing that her live-in female roommates were still on vacation and had not returned to school, so she didn't take out the key from her handbag and open the door to go in to have a look.
Zheng Yanjun opened the security door of room 1502, bent down and picked up five or six advertising leaflets that had been stuffed under the crack in the door, folded them a few times, and put them into the garbage bag at the door.
Only then did he turn sideways and use his right hand to lead the way, and smiled at Gao Zhan and the three beauties accompanying him: "Please come in!" ”
This is a luxurious residential complex with a magnificent decoration for both commercial and residential purposes. gave Gao Zhan his first feeling that this house was a little similar to the duplex he bought in Fengcheng. The structure and layout of the house are almost the same, the only difference is that the decoration of this house is more gorgeous than the one in Fengcheng, but it lacks an elegant taste.
Home appliances, furniture and other household items are readily available, and they are all high-end goods.
Downstairs is a huge living room, dining room, kitchen, washroom, utility room, balcony is also large, upstairs are two bedrooms and a guest room. Each bedroom has a bathroom, which is a little more personal than the house Gao Zhan lives in Fengcheng.
Except for the lack of bedding and clothes and daily necessities, everything else you need for the home is available.
"Mr. Zheng, your house is good! Why don't you live on your own? It's good to hide a little girl here! After Gao Zhan looked at all the rooms, he joked with Zheng Yanjun in the living room.
"Hehe, I'm really not afraid of Mr. Gao's laughter, I really bought this house for my girlfriend to live in, but now that she has gone abroad, I don't think she will come back." Zheng Yanjun smiled indifferently: "The house has been empty here for almost a year, and ordinary people don't want to rent it to him yet." ”
"Mr. Zheng, I just got admitted to Huda this year, so I want to rent a slightly more decent house near the school to live temporarily." Gao Zhan took out a pack of special red pandas from his godfather's study, handed them to Zheng Yanjun, and then lit them himself, and said while spitting smoke: "You are in love with this house, it is this rent, can it be cheaper?" ”
"Is Mr. Gao going to use it at home?"
"At home, of course, just me and my two girlfriends, three of us."
"And me!" Li Qian shouted next to her at this time: "You have to leave me a room upstairs, otherwise, hum!" ”
Zheng Yanjun's mind was full of thoughts at this time, thinking that Gao Zhan was definitely not a child of an ordinary family, and he had lived in Changzhou for nearly 40 years, and the circle he was in could be called a figure with a head and face on the ground in Changzhou, but there was really no one who could afford to drive a military Humvee.
This young man named Gao Zhan claimed to have just been admitted to Huda University, but judging from his temperament and physique, he should not be the ordinary kind of nerd who can only read dead books and die reading, he just said that he lived with two girlfriends, obediently, he really dared to say that what surprised Zheng Yanjun was that the two beauties seemed to approve of his words.
What made Zheng Yanjun even more confused was that the beautiful woman who was wearing a Chanel dress and carrying a LV handbag actually claimed to live together.
The two beauties who were called girlfriends by Gao Zhan, although they were not wearing international brand-name women's clothes, but one had a cold surname, and the other was pure and lovely.
Judging from the other party's style, the background must not be low, nothing is the best, if there is really something, as long as people are willing to help once, it is not just this rent money. It's very rare to be able to make friends with this kind of character.
After making up his mind, Zheng Yanjun smiled quite heartily and said: "Mr. Gao, since you have taken a fancy to this house, I can say in good conscience that I don't care about this rent anymore, if you say it's cheaper, it's cheaper, and you should pay it to your friend, with a deposit of 20,000 yuan, and a monthly rent of 1,080 yuan, which is paid once a year, how about it?" ”
"One thousand eight? Are you sure you're right? Li Qian didn't wait for Gao to open her mouth, and asked in surprise.
"Of course, if Mr. Gao thinks the price is right, we can sign the rental agreement right away." Zheng Yanjun looked at Li Qian with a smile in a rather affirmative tone.
"Deal!" Gao Zhan stretched out his right hand and shook Zheng Yanjun's hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, I have lived for four years, you won't take back the house halfway, right?" ”
"If Mr. Gao is worried that I will take back the house halfway, he can write this into the agreement." Zheng Yanjun looked at Gao Zhan quite elegantly and smiled.
"Then it's decided, Xiao Zhan, the guest room above is reserved for me, and I will pay half of the rent." Li Qian didn't care whether Gao Zhan agreed or not, and took it upon herself to make a decision for Gao Zhan.
Gao Zhan didn't think much about why the landlord lowered the rent to 1,08 all of a sudden, in line with the principle of saving money, for fear that Zheng Yanjun would regret it and have to sign the agreement.
Who knew that Zheng Yanjun had already brought a ready-made rental contract when he came, he took out the contract from his handbag, Li Qian reached out and grabbed it and took a closer look, and found no problems, so he asked Gao Zhan to sign it on the spot.
Subsequently, Gao Zhan and Zheng Yanjun went downstairs together to copy a copy of their ID cards and the rental contract, and then went to the bank with the other party to transfer the rent and deposit for one year.
After completing all the relevant procedures, Zheng Yanjun took out a bunch of keys from his handbag, handed them to Gao Zhan, and said with a smile: "For the sake of safety, you'd better change the locks outside." ”
"Okay, Mr. Zheng, I will be your tenant in the future, if there is anything you need to cooperate with in the future, please don't be too troublesome." Gao Zhan took the key and smiled.
"No problem, it's the landlord's obligation!" Zheng Yanjun said with a smile: "Xiao Gao, I am older than you, I call you Xiao Gao, I wish you success in Lake University!" ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng."
After Gao Zhan left his mobile phone number with Zheng Yanjun, he didn't talk to him much and went back to the community to meet Li Qian and them. The house is rented, but there are still n more things in it to furnish and buy.
When Zheng Yanjun went downstairs to pick up the car, he couldn't help but take a good look at the Hummer H6 next to him, and then compared his own Passat, his car was simply scum!
Shaking his head and sighing, Zheng Yanjun boarded the car and left.
In room 1502, Li Qian, Lu Ying and Bai Lu began to toss according to their personal preferences.
When Gao Zhan re-entered the door, the furnishings of the living room had changed greatly.
When he was away, the three daughters had already divided the three rooms upstairs, Lu Ying and Gao Zhan slept in the master bedroom, and Bai Lu lived in another bedroom, and that room was naturally occupied by Li Qian.
Next, naturally, Li Qian drove the Hummer and Gao Zhan to go on a shopping spree, from quilts and sheets to towels and toothbrushes, all of which were bought new.
I called 110 and asked a locksmith who had filed a case with the Public Security Bureau, changed the door lock, and provided four sets of keys, one for each of the four people, and one set for backup. By the time everything was done, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.
Originally, Li Qian proposed to go home for dinner, but Gao Zhan said that it was better to fire in the newly rented house today and cook and fry vegetables by herself in the newly rented house to celebrate.
Li Qian naturally has no objection to this. So, a man and three women came to the farmers' market in the community all the way to the farmer's market in the community, bought all the ingredients such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and bought enough fish, meat, vegetables and other vegetables for four people to eat for three days, and then returned to their new home happily.
Li Qian said that she wanted to occupy a house in 1502, but Gao Zhan really couldn't say a reason for refusing. In desperation, he could only let his godsister be the overlord tenant.
After the settling-in banquet, a man and three women returned to Villa No. 2 of the Provincial Party Committee Compound, packed up their belongings, and spent the first rather ambiguous night in their new home that night.
The next day, Li Qian, the "head snake", took Gao Zhan to drive a Hummer around the community to find a shop.
Renting stores on the periphery of the community with Hummer H6 shocked the small bosses who did small businesses around the Tianma community.
After turning around, in the line of shops facing the street at the north gate of the community, I happened to come across a curtain shop that originally made curtains but wanted to transfer the store as a whole due to poor management.
The location of this curtain shop is quite close to Gao Zhan's newly rented room 1502, which is only a five-minute walk away. And the decoration of this curtain shop is also fresh and elegant, if you change it into a clothing store, you basically don't need to redecorate.
Seeing the big boss who could afford to open a Hummer come to hit his curtain shop, the little couple owner of the curtain shop was very happy, and felt that he should be able to get a relatively satisfactory transfer price.
As a result, they were naturally very disappointed, because this pair of handsome men and women who drove Hummer H6 did not have the consciousness of driving a Hummer at all.
After some bargaining, the final transaction was 28,000 yuan, a full 17,000 oceans away from the store owner's price of 45,000. Moreover, the 28,000 also includes the rent until January next year.
After signing the transfer agreement and paying the money, Gao Zhan locked the roller shutter door of the curtain shop, boarded the Hummer very happily, and ordered Li Qian, the beautiful driver, to go home.
The original husband and wife owners of the curtain shop looked at the huge shadow of the Hummer H6 and were very bs.
As a result, the middle-aged woman who opened the flower boutique next to her said disapprehantly, "Haven't you heard that in these days, the richer you are, the more you pick the door?" ”
Renting a good store for Lu Ying, but how to run it, Gao Zhan has no problem in his heart. Li Qian also had no experience in this area, so she could only sit at home with four people to discuss again.
Gao Zhan has seen Lu Ying's rare talent in clothing design, so he is full of confidence in helping Lu Ying get a clothing processing shop to practice first.
Also optimistic about him is Bai Lu. Only Li Qian was a little disapproving.
"Sister Ying, how are you learning those fashion design courses now?" Gao Zhan looked at the thick pile of books on clothing design on the coffee table, took a fashion magazine and flipped through it, and asked.
"There are a lot of things in the book that my mom has taught before, and some of the things I have learned that I haven't in the book yet." Lu Ying sat beside Gao Zhan, raised his hand to sort out the emanation in his ears, and then put the pile of books on the coffee table one by one, and said with a smile: "After reading these books, I realized that what my mother taught me was not a simple tailoring skill. ”
"Sister Ying, I rarely heard you say anything about your mother, can you tell us about it." At this time, Li Qian was obviously aroused by Lu Ying's words just now. Because she had heard Gao Zhan say before that Lu Ying's mother was a tailor in Baijia Village, and she was a tailor with very good skills. From Lu Ying's natural beauty, it can be guessed that her mother must also be a charming beauty.
As a tailor living in the poor ravine of Baijia Village, the tailoring skills taught to her daughter also include a number of professional knowledge in clothing design, it is certain that Lu Ying's mother is not a simple mountain village tailor.
As if Li Qian was reminded of the past sealed in the depths of her memory, Lu Ying's charming eyes became trance-like, and as she narrated, Gao Zhan figured out why Lu Ying had such an amazing talent in costume design.
It turned out that Lu Ying's grandfather was one of the first Chinese students to study fashion design in France in the early days of the Republic of China. Her mother, as an educated youth in the countryside at that time, hid in the mountains in order to escape the persecution of the rebels and met her father. The mother who has nothing to worry about takes root in Baijia Village and has children.
The only wealth her mother left her, apart from her natural beauty, was the tailoring skills passed down from her grandfather. This kind of craft, until Lu Ying came into contact with the fashion design books that Gao Zhan bought for her, she knew that what her mother taught her was not a simple tailoring craft, but a clothing design knowledge that adhered to the fashion design concept of Paris, France. And there are many unique skills that her grandfather has developed based on decades of experience.
After listening to Lu Ying's narration, I don't know if Li Qian was stunned, and even Gao Zhan was a little stupid.
After working for a long time, Lu Ying is not a country tailor at all, but a super tailor with a special talent for beauty and a family tradition of tailoring!
Success is based on 99% hard work and 1% talent, this sentence is true, but it is worth noting that although the 1% talent seems small, this is the key to success or failure!
This is especially true for those engaged in clothing design, the first thing to look at is not hard work, but talent, people without talent are not qualified to enter this industry, no talent, even if you work hard 99%, then the clothing you design is still without aura, can only be obscure, in this industry, talent is more important than everything, and it can even be said that it is arbitrary, don't want to engage in this industry without talent.
Lu Ying obviously has extraordinary talent, what she needs to do most now is to work hard, everyone has talent, so the level of achievement depends on who works harder, what she lacks most now is the mastery of fashion trends. She seems to have her own unique perspective on the beauty of clothing.
Gao Zhan thought that she had been studying professional courses related to fashion design on her own during this time, but in fact, Lu Ying was combining her concept of fashion design with the trend of fashion little by little.
The theory is almost studied, and it depends on whether the actual hands-on ability is a mule or a horse.
