Chapter 263: The Trouble of Opening a Shop
Opening a store was just a temporary decision of Gao Dian, and he didn't think about how troublesome the process of opening a store was, and it wasn't something that could be opened with one mouth and one close.
Since the day after meeting Wei Qiaoyi, Gao Dian has been busy looking for a store.
It is not easy to find a suitable storefront, he turned around for two days, but he saw a lot of stores with good locations, and when he asked the price, Gao Dian immediately dispelled his thoughts.
The rent of the store is too expensive, and he can't guarantee that he will be able to return to his capital, and maybe he will end up working for someone else.
Gao Dian was prepared for the worst from the beginning, he knew that his cooking skills were okay, but whether he could make money or not, it was not enough to have cooking skills.
I searched for two days, but I couldn't find a suitable store.
On this day, Gao Dian stopped in front of Wei Qiaoyi's dessert shop, and his attention was not on the dessert shop, but on the side of the dessert shop.
There is a notice on the side of the store.
Gao Dian took a closer look and was sure that he was going to rent.
After hesitating for a moment, Gao Dian walked into the dessert shop. Wei Qiaoyi, who was busy, saw him and said with a smile: "Why are you here?" ”
"Just passed through here." Gao Dian said
Wei Qiaoyi put down what she was doing and said, "Aren't you looking for a store?" How's it going, have you found it? ”
Gao Dian shook his head, "I haven't found it yet." ”
"It's okay, just take your time to find it, don't worry." Wei Qiaoyi said, she pondered for a while and said, "Why don't I help you ask?" ”
"No need." Gao Dian refused with a smile, "By the way, I just saw the shop next to me outside for rent?" ”
Wei Qiaoyi was puzzled: "Is there one?" I didn't pay attention. ”
After thinking about it, she said: "But the business next to it has been bad for a long time, and it's normal not to do it." ”
Gao Dian was thoughtful, he remembered that there was a convenience store next to it, and it shouldn't be so easy to close.
"Do you want me to ask for you?" Wei Qiaoyi said.
"It's okay, I'll just ask myself, you're busy, I'll ask." Gao Dian said.
Wei Qiaoyi nodded and went to get busy herself.
Gao Dian walked out of the dessert shop and dialed the phone number for rent.
After a while, the phone was connected, and a male voice came from the other side, "Hello, who is it?" ”
"I see that your store is for rent, can you meet and talk about it in detail?" Gao Dian asked.
The person on the other side was obviously stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little surprised by Gao Dian's words, "Are you sure you want to rent?" ”
"yes, what's the problem?" Gao Dian asked.
"Nope! No problem, where are you, I'll come here. The man said quickly.
"I'm here in the store." Gao Dian said.
"Okay, then you wait for me for ten minutes, and I'll be right there."
"Okay." Gao Dian responded.
He hung up the phone and stood outside the store and looked inside.
He hadn't bought anything in this store before, mainly because there were frequent changes here.
From the outside, it looks pretty good, but it's changed to a pastry shop, and it still needs to be renovated.
If you want to decorate, it will definitely cost a lot of money.
After two days of searching, Gao Dian roughly understood what level the rent for a month was.
I don't know if I have enough money to spend.
After a while, a middle-aged man came over on an electric car, and after parking the car, he asked, "Do you want to rent it?" ”
Gao Dian nodded and said, "It's me, can you go in and have a look?" ”
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded.
He unlocked the door and walked in with Gao Dian.
"This used to be a convenience store, and you can see that the lighting is very good and the place is spacious." The landlord introduced.
Gao Dian looked at it and was quite satisfied.
The store is actually not big, Gao Dian measured it by his eyes, it is only fifty or sixty square meters, but it is enough for him to open a small shop.
It's too big, maybe he's really too busy.
Gao Dian asked many more questions, and the landlord answered them one by one.
All aspects are also quite satisfied, to the most important point, "Boss, how do you calculate the rent here?" ”
It's not a remote place, and it's certainly not very bustling.
The rent for a shop like this is about 15,000 a month.
The landlord muttered, "If you sincerely want it, I will rent it to you for 10,000 a month." ”
Such a low price?
Gao Dian was a little surprised in his heart, this price was beyond his expectations.
According to the psychological price before Gaodian, it is about 15,000 a month, and it is possible to be a little lower and a little higher. However, it is 5,000 lower, and the price is too low.
Is it cheap to pick up?
Gao Dian didn't think so.
There must be something strange in the so-called abnormal situation.
The low 1,000 Gao Dian feels that it is cheap, and the low 2,000 may have to think, which is 5,000 low...... It made Gao Dian feel a little retreated.
You know, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and the landlord is not a fool, how can he give such a low rent?
"Landlord, is there any ...... here?" Gao Dian didn't say very clearly, but he believed that the landlord could understand.
The middle-aged man said, "I won't hide it from you, the feng shui of this shop is not good. ”
"Huh?" Gao Dian was a little puzzled.
The theory of feng shui has existed since ancient times, and Gao Dian has an unbelievable attitude towards it.
"What's that saying?" Gao Dian asked.
"This store, on average, will change people every six months, and the last one to open a store is actually the longest, but it is only seven or eight months." The landlord said.
"Why can't these stores be opened?" Gao Dian was a little curious.
"Why else, feng shui is not good, some have had accidents and lost money; Some of them don't have any customers, and they are losing money every day. Said the landlord.
"Then why are you telling me? You rent it to me at the normal price, and I don't know about these things, so I should have rented it. Gao Dian asked the question from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, the landlord does not take the initiative to reduce the price, according to the normal price, as long as it is within Gao Dian's expectations, he will rent. And there is no doubt at all about anything.
The reason for the suspicion is that it has some absolute relationship with the landlord's direct price reduction of 5,000.
Gao Dian was puzzled, why did the landlord do this?
The landlord smiled and said, "I won't tell, you'll find out later." Besides, I don't have peace of mind to spend the money I earn without conscience, and I don't lack the rent of this shop. ”
Gao Dian was stunned, just such a simple reason?
"I'll make everything clear to you, it's up to you to rent or not, and if you lose money in the future, you can't blame me." The landlord shrugged and said.
Gao Dian smiled dumbly and said, "Are you so sure that I will lose?" What if I make it? ”
The landlord smiled: "You make money, that's your ability, you can make money, and you will continue to rent my shop, because it is cheaper here than other places." That's a good thing for me. ”
Gao Dian didn't expect the landlord to think like this, he thought that many people might watch him make money and feel that they were losing because they didn't ask for higher rents.
But the landlord in front of him thinks differently from many people.
"Don't think anything, if you don't rent this shop, there is a high probability that no one will rent it, I am empty, I don't have any money every month, I have to pay. You rent, although it is less every month, but there is always an income, and for me, it is all earned. Said the landlord.
Hearing these words, Gao Dian was immediately relieved.
He felt that his previous view of people was a little too narrow?
"I see, I have to say that you are really open-minded, landlord." Gao Dian said with a smile.
"It's not open-minded, I'm lucky, and now I'm living a very easy life, so I don't want to do things with a clear conscience. Moreover, sometimes looking at the problem from a different perspective may have different gains. The landlord said with a smile.
Gao Dian had a very good impression of this landlord, and he had already made some decisions in his heart.
"Another question, if I want to rent, how long is the contract?" Gao Dian asked.
"I usually sign a contract here for three years, and the rent can be paid annually or semi-annually. If you don't want to rent the lease every time it arrives, I will not refund the deposit. However, due to the special nature of this shop, if you don't want to rent it at any time, I will refund the deposit to you. Said the landlord.
When Gao Dian heard this, it was about the same.
The lease of a shop is generally not too short, which is not the same as renting a house.
Three years is also relatively normal, and some have signed for five years, ten years, and twenty years, and three years is still relatively short.
"Okay, then I'll rent it." Gao Dian made a decision.
The lighting location of this store is OK, and the rent is also a bargain, of course, whether it is really cheap or not, it is still unknown.
However, Gao Dian doesn't believe in feng shui very much, he prefers to believe that they are not doing well.
Although the theory of feng shui has existed since ancient times, it is too ethereal.
"Are you sure you want to rent?" The host reconfirmed.
"I'm sure, sign the contract." Gao Dian said.
When the landlord heard this, he nodded and didn't say anything more.
He has already said what he should say, and Gao Dian still wants to rent, which is a good thing for him, and he will not refuse.
After a while, the landlord went to print two contracts and said to Gao Dian: "The rent is 10,000 yuan a month, and the deposit is a month's rent." Do you choose to pay annually or semi-annually? ”
The landlord didn't have the option to pay quarterly because he found it troublesome.
In fact, he would prefer to collect the rent all at once, which is the most relaxing, but ordinary tenants will not be willing.
"Half a year, I can't get that much money for a year." Gao Dian said.
He has so much money on him, but I am not only the rent to open the store, but also the decoration.
If you pay more than 100,000 yuan in rent at one time, you will basically have no money for decoration.
"Okay, then sign the contract." The landlord said.
"Hmm." Gao Dian nodded.
Both of them were unusually crisp, and soon the contract was signed, Gao Dian also paid the rent, and at the same time, the landlord also handed him the key.
After signing the contract, the landlord rode away.
After paying the money, Gao Dian felt empty in his heart, and paid 70,000 yuan in one go, which made his heart ache.
I have never spent so much money at one time, and once again I feel that the money is too easy to spend.
He glanced at the shop, and there was still a lot of work to do.
For example, choosing a name for the store, registering a trademark, decorating, applying for a health permit, business license and other documents.
This is just the preliminary preparation, the store is decorated, and it is necessary to purchase and buy all kinds of tableware, kitchenware, as well as spices, ingredients and so on.
Just thinking about it like this, Gao Dian felt that his head was big for a while.
Opening a store is also too much trouble.
There are a lot of scalpers to look for, but Gao Dian has no money, and he doesn't have a penny now, so he has to be careful with his own calculations, and if he can do it himself, he should do it himself.
Gao Dian closed the door of the store, wondering where to find the decoration team.
"Gao Dian, what are you doing standing there?" Wei Qiaoyi shouted.
"No, it's just thinking about things." Gao Dian said.
"You rented the shop next door?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.
"yes, yes." Gao Dian responded, a little absent-minded.
Wei Qiaoyi walked up to Gao Dian and asked, "How do you feel that you are absent-minded, shouldn't it be a good thing to rent a storefront?" ”
"Well, no, I'm just thinking about something else." Gao Dian said.
"What's the matter?" Wei Qiaoyi asked curiously.
"It's the decoration, the sanitation permit, you should have experienced these when you opened the store, right?" Gao Dian said.
"Huh? Ah~ Yes, it's experienced. Wei Qiaoyi arrived.
In fact, she has never experienced these things...... It was all solved with her father's help, and she was basically not very busy.
"Alas~ I never thought that opening a store would be so troublesome. Okay, I won't tell you, I'll find out if there is a suitable decoration team, and get the store decoration done first. Gao Dian said.
Wei Qiaoyi wanted to say something, but Gao Dian didn't pay attention and left directly.
Wei Qiaoyi stood in place, thoughtful.
Gao Dian didn't understand the decoration part, and he hadn't touched it before.
He has only seen a few cases on the Internet, about cases of losing money in decoration, so he is a little cautious, and he is afraid that he will be pitted.
He wants to find a reliable renovation team, but where is it so easy to find?
Gao Dian has no acquaintances, and he doesn't know what is good and what is bad.
The water in every industry is very deep.
Soon, time passed, and Gao Dian consulted several decoration teams, but Gao Dian was not very satisfied.
The other party made an offer...... Some are out of his budget.
He only has so much money in his hands, and once he exceeds his budget, the next store will open, and it will be overstretched.
It was already getting dark, and he planned to find a few more decoration teams tomorrow, and finally choose a more suitable one.
When he returned home, Gao Dian casually got something to eat, and after eating, he searched for the process of handling various documents on the computer.
In fact, it is not very difficult to handle this, as long as it meets the standards, it can be handled.
The question is...... It is more troublesome, and it needs to run repeatedly, which is time-consuming and laborious.
Of course, in Gao Dian's eyes, this is okay, as long as it doesn't cost much, it's okay.
Before, Gao Dian felt that he still had a lot of money in his hand, and it should be more than enough to open a store, but now it seems that it is not necessarily.
After reading the process, Gao Dian did not rest, he took out a pen and paper and began to refine the store opening process.
For example, what needs to be bought, what preparations need to be made, etc., he recorded them all on paper.
This is just some of Gao Dian's initial ideas, which may be changed in the future, and will be added or deleted on this basis when the time comes.
After doing this, Gao Dian fell asleep.
