NOVEL WEB Chapter 27
Yi Feng and Wang Tie bought two old popsicles on the roadside, eating them while walking around the street to look for shops. The
Tianhecheng business district is quite large, and there are shops for transfer and rent, but they are all along the street and the price is not cheap.
The monthly rent of any shop of about 50 square meters is about 1,000 yuan, and the monthly rent of a shop with a worse location is more than 500 yuan. There is no way, the price is generally the same in the prime location of the city center of Guangzhou.
This price shocked Wang Tie.
He thought it was only a hundred yuan for the rent of the shop, but he didn't expect it to be hundreds or thousands!
"My God, this price is too expensive, more than I imagined... I thought it was over a hundred yuan!"Wang Tie said in astonishment
"There are some that cost around 100 yuan, but the ones along the street are too expensive, so we don’t need to rent a storefront along the street." Yi Feng said while licking the old popsicle.
"So where do we rent?"
"In the alley."
But for Yifeng's computer repair shop, there is no need for shops located along the street. Choosing these locations is very cost-effective.
In Yifeng's idea, the computer repair shop only needs to be in the business district, because going to The public transportation in the city center is convenient, and there are office buildings and high-end residential areas around the business district. These users are precise. Their demand for computer repair is stable, and they do not just go shopping and come to a computer repair shop.
After the computer had a problem, the first thing he thought about was whether there was a computer repair shop nearby, so he could quickly and easily fix his computer needs, so Yi Feng took Wang Tie to the alleys along the street. The commercial atmosphere is not strong, and there is not much traffic. Most of the shops are owned by residents who build their own houses nearby.
The prices are lower in the alleys towards the end of Tianhe Road.
The price of the shops in the front section of Tianhe Road is about 500 yuan a month, and in the middle section and The price in the end section has dropped to about 200 yuan a month.
This price is still acceptable to Yi Feng.
The two visited the middle section and the end section three times, recording all the shops with suitable rents, and after repeated comparisons and considerations. Yi
Feng finally chose the shop about 100 meters ahead from the entrance of Baxiang Alley.
This shop is a newly vacant self-built shop on the first floor. There is no transfer fee, and the monthly rent is 230 yuan per month.
I turned around and looked around. I was in the busy Tianhe City business district. There was not a single pedestrian here. It was very deserted.
"Brother Feng, do we really want to choose this store? It's so deserted here. Is there no one here? Wang Tie asked worriedly.
Yi Feng chuckled and said,"It would be better if it was a little more deserted, and the rent could be cheaper.""
"Don't worry, after the store is built, as long as you do a good job of publicity, customers will come to the store."
"And you see, there is a high-end coffee shop on the roadside at the entrance of the alley. People who come in and out of this high-end coffee shop must have relatively high incomes. It is normal to have computers at home. As long as we find a way to promote it there, the effect will be It’s definitely not bad!"
Wang Tie looked in the direction he pointed. There was indeed a well-decorated coffee shop along the street from the entrance of the alley.
I didn't expect Brother Feng to even consider this coffee shop!
Brother Feng's thinking is really beyond our comparison. Yes!
Wang Tie secretly admired it.
"No. 100, Eight Lanes, there is a contact number on it."Yi Feng walked into the empty shop to check.
This was the third time he had seen it. The shop was not big, about 50 square meters. It was empty, with nothing inside, and four white walls.
There was a sign from the landlord on a chair at the door. The phone number also has rental information.
Mobile phones are not very popular among ordinary people now, and the cheapest Nokia 3310 costs 1,500 yuan.
Nowadays, the average monthly salary of working-class people is only 300 to 400 yuan, which may happen throughout the year. They couldn't even save a thousand yuan, and mobile phones were purely luxury goods.
What's more, after 2000, state-owned enterprises ushered in major reforms, which required factories to close or be merged. Suddenly, more than 30 million laid-off workers across the country had to find their own way to survive. , Now is the time when the storm is coming, and ordinary families don't dare to spend money casually.
Yi Feng doesn't even have a landline at home, so he borrows Gu Muxi's landline when he needs it.
Gu Xingzhong, the deputy director of Gu Muxi, only has a Nokia 3310. Mobile phones are convenient for business contacts.
Nowadays, those who can afford mobile phones and pay monthly phone bills are basically from relatively well-off families. Generally, working-class families either have a landline at home or use the phone booths that can be found everywhere on the roadside.
Feng also wants to buy a mobile phone and a computer, but now he doesn’t have enough money.
"Come on, buddy, let's go to the phone booth and call the landlord."Yi Feng waved. They came to a phone booth along the street. There were five or six people in front of them waiting in line to make a call. Yi Feng stood behind the line and took out a 30-yuan IC card, which is the best-selling item nowadays.
After waiting in line for more than half an hour, it was Yi Feng's turn.
Approaching the phone booth, Yi Feng inserted the IC card, which showed a balance of 12 yuan.
He took out his notebook and called the landlord.
After a few beeps, a woman's impatient voice came out of the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
Yi Feng can still hear the crackling sound of playing mahjong on the phone.
"You are the landlord of the shop at No. 100, Lane 8, I want to rent a shop and want to see your shop."Yi Feng said bluntly
"oh? Rent a shop? OK, wait for me!"A slightly excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
The two made an appointment to meet at the door of the shop.
After hanging up the phone, Yi Feng and Wang Tie were waiting at the door of the shop. After a while, a slightly fat man wearing a floral skirt appeared. A middle-aged aunt came from the end of the alley
"Do you want to rent a house?"The middle-aged aunt looked Yi Feng up and down with her slender eyes, a little unsure.
Because Yi Feng is too young, like a high school student, not like an adult doing business.
"Yes sis."Yi Feng's word"big sister" made the middle-aged aunt smile a little more.
This young man really knows how to talk!
She opened the door completely and pushed the door open:"Come in and take a look. It's still an empty shop and there is no transfer fee."
"And the rent is only 230 yuan, which is very cheap."
Yi Feng smiled slightly and said:"It does look okay. Are the water and electricity complete?
The middle-aged aunt replied:"It's complete. There's a kitchen inside, and you can cook.""
"By the way, what kind of business do you two young people want to do by renting a shop?"
"Let me explain in advance, my shop cannot do any messy business!"
Yi Feng said with a smile:"We want to open a computer repair shop. This is what we learned. We just want to make some money from our crafts."
"Computer repair shop?"
"I really can’t believe that you are so young and can do this."The middle-aged aunt said in surprise
"There is nothing to learn on your own."Yi Feng answered while carefully checking the water and electricity details in the shop.
After a round, he found that there was nothing wrong with it, but the decoration was very ordinary, and there were no gifts.
Wang Tie, on the contrary, looked excited and seemed very satisfied with the shop.
Yi Feng pulled his sleeves to make him calm down.
Wang Tie quickly imitated Yi Feng and put on a serious face.
"What do you think, young man? My shop is pretty good, right? Let me tell you, it’s pretty good to rent a shop like mine for 230 yuan a month!"
"If you miss this village, you won’t have this shop!"The middle-aged aunt emphasized the scarcity of the shop and wanted Yi Feng to hurry up and make a reservation.���Come.
Yi Feng shook his head, pretending to be dissatisfied, and said:"It looks okay, but there is no furniture inside, not even tables and chairs, and the decoration is a bit rough."
"The most important thing is that this alley is too remote and deserted. On weekends, there is not even a soul around. This location is really not suitable."
"Sister, I think 230 yuan is a bit expensive for this store."
"We should think about it. Sorry for making this trip."
Yi Feng turned around and was about to leave.
The middle-aged woman looked anxious. This shop has been on the market for more than three months and has not been rented out. It is also because this alley is too deserted and there are no people. It is not easy to wait for someone to want to rent it. How can we miss this opportunity?
"Hey, young man, this price is really low, are you sure you don’t want to rent it?"
Yi Feng turned around and thought for a moment and said,"This place is too remote, and the rent is 230 yuan a month, I don’t think it’s worth the price."
"Let’s take a look again."
"Wang Tie, we are leaving."
""Okay, Brother Feng!" Wang Tie responded and followed him to go out.
The middle-aged lady became even more anxious, and hurriedly caught up with him, shouting:"Don't be in a hurry to leave, young man, we can talk about how much you think is appropriate!"
As soon as Yi Feng walked out of the door, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he turned around and said:"I think 150 yuan a month should be enough for this shop."
The middle-aged lady was stunned and said in surprise:"150 yuan? My shop is 50 square meters, this is too low! No way!"
"Young man, why are you bargaining like this?"
"Too cruel!"
Yi Feng shook his head and said:"I see that the 60-square-meter shops in Lane 9 and Lane 12 are only 200 yuan a month, and they also give away tables, chairs, electric fans and so on."
"150 is not low in a month"
""Ah? They lowered the rent?" The middle-aged woman was stunned.
She also set the rent based on the prices of nearby shops, but after hearing what Yi Feng said, she was also very surprised to find that those shops only cost 200 yuan.
Yi Feng showed a barely perceptible smile.
What he said just now was half true and half false, just to scare her.
"Yes, if eldest sister is not willing, we should go to other shops to check it out."Yi Feng turned around and was about to leave.
The middle-aged aunt quickly stopped him and said,"Hey, don't worry, young man. What do you think of 170 yuan a month? Let’s just go ahead and get 170 yuan!"
Yi Feng pondered for a moment and said:"Well, no... 160 yuan, no matter how expensive it is, it doesn't feel like a good deal.
The middle-aged aunt gritted her teeth and said,"Okay, 160 yuan is 160 yuan!" Ok, deal!"
Wang Tie watched Yi Feng bargaining and was dumbfounded.
Brother Feng is so awesome!
He is good at bargaining!
Most of the shops in the nearby alleys cost more than 200 yuan.
The price of 160 yuan can be rented The 50-square-meter shop is still in the core business district. The price-performance ratio is unbeatable! It
’s so profitable!
Only then did Yi Feng smile,"Okay, I’m too lazy to run around anymore, let’s rent it for a while."
"How long do you plan to rent for?"The middle-aged aunt asked.
Yi Feng stretched out four fingers,"Four months!"
