Chapter 11 Rent a storefront
Caucasian dogs are actually quite docile, usually a silly and silly good baby, and rarely go crazy.
Generally speaking, a docile dog is not suitable for a nursing home, but the Caucasian dog has a strong sense of territory, and when a stranger enters its territory, it will be vigilant, so it can take on the role of a nursing home.
The giant cannon was cultivated by a biomaker, and he was particularly obedient to Zhou Yi, and his obedience to his surname was very good.
Zhou Yi first put a collar on the cannon, and then took out the dog flute, according to the instructions on the biomaker, a flute is to recall and attract attention. In addition, there are one long, two short, three short, and so on, all of which represent different commands.
The dog flute is a metal tube much thinner than the little finger, and the length is only as long as the little finger, and when blowing, it can emit sound waves with a frequency of 5.4kHz to 12.8kHz.
Zhou Yi tried to blow at the giant cannon a few times, and the giant cannon ran back and forth very obediently, and the dog flute coupled with gestures was completely able to command the giant cannon to stand up, sit down, lie down, run forward, recall and so on.
Zhou Yi called the giant cannon back, and rubbed it vigorously on its neck hair as much as he liked, this big guy was like a bear, but when he was touched, he stuck out his tongue and had a very comfortable expression.
"Let's go, go home."
Zhou Yi was afraid of scaring the people on the street, so he used a tow rope to lead the giant cannon home.
When I got home, my mother Li Shuhua was cleaning the broken flower pots in the patio and transplanting the flowers and plants that did not die into new ones.
Zhou Yi walked into the house with a giant cannon, Li Shuhua saw his son coming back, and was about to ask what he wanted to eat at night, when he looked up and suddenly saw a monster bigger than a person walking into the door, so frightened that he took a step back and almost fell.
Zhou Yi hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed his mother, who was falling backwards.
"This ...... What is this? Li Shuhua pointed to the giant cannon behind Zhou Yi and asked with a pant.
"This is the dog, the largest breed in the world. It's called a giant cannon, and it's implanted with anti-allergy genes that won't cause allergies. I'm going to leave it at home to watch the door, so the hooligans won't dare to cause trouble. Zhou Yi explained.
"Who took that name? No wonder it's ugly. Li Shuhua nodded, then remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Such a big dog eats a lot, right?" Can this be afforded? ”
"The cannon is not so delicate, so let it eat broth and soak in rice. Usually, when boiling bone broth at home, put more water, add bone sticks to the soup and rice, and then have some dishes that can't be eaten. Zhou Yi said.
"This dog eats the same food as a human." Li Shuhua has never had a pet, so she subconsciously feels that cats and dogs eat the same meals as people, as if lowering the identity of people.
"Rich people's dogs eat eggs, milk, and prawns, and now dogs are expensive, and Caucasian dogs are good." Zhou Yi said with a casual smile.
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he beckoned to call the giant cannon over.
"This is your master, too, come and sniff. Brother Giant Cannon, you have to protect our mother in the future. Zhou Yi said, holding his mother's hand, leaning in front of the cannon's nose and letting it sniff.
Li Shuhua was still a little scared, and kept covering her chest with her other hand.
The giant cannon was obviously able to understand what Zhou Yi meant, and after sniffing Li Shuhua's hand, he licked it with his tongue flatteringly.
"Oops......" Li Shuhua was licked the back of her hand, and she was so shocked that she hurriedly retracted it.
Zhou Guozheng heard his wife's exclamation, and walked out quickly, and then when he saw the giant cannon, he also exclaimed: "Where is this bear?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's a Caucasian dog......" Zhou Yi explained to his father, and then let the giant cannon sniff his father's smell as well.
The giant cannon licked Zhou Guozheng's hand flatteringly, Zhou Guozheng's reaction was not as big as Li Shuhua's, and he didn't exclaim, but he was still not used to being licked by the giant cannon's wet tongue.
"It's almost five o'clock, I'll go back and get ready to cook." Li Shuhua said and returned to the house, first washing the place where the giant cannon had licked his hands with hand sanitizer in the bathroom.
Zhou Yi knew that his mother loved cleanliness very much, so he didn't think it was strange.
Zhou Yi left the cannon in the patio and ordered it to stay here, not to run around, and not to scream.
The cannon found a flat place to lie on the ground, and used this place as a nest.
After Zhou Yi hurriedly ate dinner, he went out and had already made an appointment with the real estate agent to meet at six o'clock.
In a hurry, Zhou Yi called a taxi and went to the real estate agency. By the time I arrived, it was exactly two minutes to six o'clock.
As soon as Zhou Yi entered the real estate agency, the real estate agent greeted him.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, my name is Zhang Mingyang, I am responsible for accompanying you to see the store, can we leave now?" Zhang Mingyang said with a smile while maintaining his professional surname.
Zhou Yi saw that this was a young man about the same age as himself, so he asked casually, "You can go and see it now, but have you eaten?" ”
"I've eaten, I've made an appointment with you, so naturally I've eaten early." Zhang Mingyang continued to smile.
Zhou Yi also saw that this real estate agent should be a newcomer in this industry, if it is a real estate agent with many customers and many houses, he will not work so hard after work.
"Alright, let's go. I don't have a car, let's take a taxi. Zhou Yi said and turned around and left.
Zhang Mingyang hurriedly followed and said: "No, there are two stores not far from here, you can get there in a few minutes, if you are not satisfied with either of them, I will take you to see the farther stores." ”
"Okay, let's go. On which side? ”
"This way, this ......" Zhang Mingyang hurriedly led the way in front.
The two walked along Jinxing Road for four or five minutes and arrived in front of a store.
This store is less than 30 square meters, originally used for catering, and now it is out of business, but the fixed seats on both sides have not been removed, and if it is topped down, it must be completely renovated.
Zhou Yi took a look at it and felt that it was a little small, there was a row of pet cages on both sides, and there was not much land in the middle, which was okay if he opened an ordinary pet store, but if he wanted to take the boutique route, it was really small.
However, Zhou Yi still asked the price: "How much does this monthly rent cost?" ”
"The landlord of the shop offered 5,000 a month, and the mortgage paid three for one. This is not a downtown area, so this price is not expensive, if it is the pedestrian street in the city center, the monthly rent of a 20-square-meter store will be 20,000 yuan" Zhang Mingyang was afraid that Zhou Yi would not understand the market, so he explained in advance.
"What about the intermediary fee? How to receive? ”
"The agency fee is only charged once, which is a month's monthly rent, and the landlord and tenant each give 50%." Zhang Mingyang replied.
"This room is a little small, is there a big one?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Yes, there is a shop two streets away, with 80 square meters. I don't know what business Mr. Zhou is going to do, but the 80-square-meter store is very large. Zhang Mingyang explained.
"Let's go check it out." Zhou Yi did not answer Zhang Mingyang's question.
The two returned to the street and walked north along Jinxing Road.
Zhang Mingyang chatted with Zhou Yi on various topics along the way, and from time to time pointed to the storefront on the side of the road and said the monthly rent price he knew.
According to Zhang Mingyang, the monthly rental price of the shops along the way, depending on the area, ranges from 2,000 yuan to 15,000 yuan.
After a short time, the two arrived at the 80-square-meter storefront.
In fact, these are two storefronts, and they are connected in the middle, so there are two faces.
The store is still open and is a small grocery supermarket.
"The owner of this store is the landlord himself, the landlord's daughter married to Sijiu City, gave birth to a son, and the couple wanted to move in to help the daughter take care of the son. So this store is going to go out. Zhang Mingyang introduced.
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked into the store.
"Sister Xu, this is Mr. Zhou, he wants to find a bigger store, I'll bring it over to take a look." Zhang Mingyang greeted the proprietress in the small supermarket enthusiastically.
"Come on, come in, come in and see, my business is good, if it weren't for my daughter giving birth to a child, if I want to help watch the child, I am really reluctant to go out." Some bloated proprietresses beckoned Zhou Yi to go in and look at the storefront.
Zhou Yi walked in and looked up at the store carefully.
The store is quite clean, and there is a toilet in the room, which is indeed very good.
The area is also large enough to be divided into two rooms, with only one door open and a glass wall on the other side, so that people outside can see the pets inside.
This one at the door of the store can sell some pet utensils, toys and dog food, and if the business expands in the future, you can recruit a few pet groomers to make a comprehensive pet store.
Zhou Yi is not a person who likes to grind and chirp, so after feeling that this shop is more satisfied, he asked directly: "How much is the rent?" ”
"Fifteen thousand a month, plus a toilet and a rest room, the area is almost 100 square meters, this price is definitely not high." The proprietress Sister Xu also made a price without grinding.
"This price is a bit high, even if it is the best store along the way, the monthly rent is more than 10,000 points. It's far from the city center, and fifteen thousand is too much. Zhou Yi frowned and said.
"What's so much about that? I'm in a good business. If you look at the housing prices in the neighborhoods, they have caught up with the first-tier cities. After all, Sister Xu has been in business for many years, and she has also begun to break up.
"Don't bluff me, the housing prices in this neighborhood are expensive, just because all the well-decorated high-end houses have an average area of more than 150 square meters." Zhou Yi has done an investigation.
"That's not good, you see I'm renting two stores together, you can't just give money to one storefront, right?" Sister Xu said again.
"It's too far away from the downtown area, the business is not easy to do, and the monthly rent of 15,000 plus artificial water and electricity, how much money does this have to earn to afford it? I can only give 10,000, and if I can, we will sign a contract and pay money immediately, and we will definitely not grind. Zhou Yi looked at his mobile phone and had already received a text message prompting that money was being remitted into the bank account one after another, so he dared to promise to sign a contract and pay the money immediately.
