Chapter 12 Renting a Storefront

Luo Jie looked around. It was a relatively prosperous street next to the China Academy of Fine Arts. It was surrounded by some snack bars. It could be seen that it was very popular with students.

The storefronts here are usually rented to snack bars or beauty and clothing stores. These stores are usually more profitable if they are close to the college. Storefronts in this location are generally more popular. Of course, the rent will be much higher.

"Hello, come here with your family to see the store."

I watched someone open the rolling shutter door from the inside. It was a middle-aged aunt in her forties or fifties.

"Yes, let's come and take a look together." Lin Yin replied.

The reason why this store attracted her attention was mainly because the previous tenant was a clothing store and had been renovated before moving in. The lighting was not removed. If it was rented, even the lighting would be omitted.

"Our house is relatively good, with good decoration and good location." The aunt continued to promote her house.

Song Maoting observed it and said, "Isn't it a bit small?" He thought it was a bit small for a studio, but the decoration and location were good.

"The stores on our street are all similar. They are small because the land here is expensive, and every store is about the same size."

"What's the rent like? How long does it take to rent?" Luo Jie also thinks that apart from the area being a little smaller, everything else is fine. Because the previous tenant was in the clothing business, a small half-floor was built to store goods, which made the visual feeling smaller.

Already.

Seeing that they were quite satisfied, the aunt replied: "We have discussed this before. The rents in our street are about the same. It is a thousand yuan a month. Water and electricity are paid by yourself. If you rent for a year or more, you have to pay two

If you want to cancel the lease early, you will have to withhold one month's rent."

"One thousand yuan is a bit expensive." Song Maoting was slightly surprised when he heard the price.

"Yes, it's a bit expensive." Luo Jie thought to herself, her monthly salary is only less than three thousand, this store costs one thousand a month, and there are only about ten students, so there is no money left after excluding costs.

"The prices of the stores here are like this, and there is a lot of traffic here. If you open a store, you can make a lot more money." Auntie is very confident about the location of her store.

"Indeed, the location is very good, can't it be cheaper?"

Song Maoting was actually not very satisfied. He felt that opening a studio did not require a geographical location. Instead, he felt that the location was too close to the street and too noisy. A quieter place was more suitable for painting. However, his wife seemed to be very satisfied with it, so she still

Just cut the price.

"No, the prices are like this. The decoration of my store is more beautiful than other stores, and you can save a lot of money." The aunt looked at Song Maoting and continued: "Your wife likes it very much, right.

Let's do it." He said and nuzzled to Lin Yin.

"Yes, I'm quite satisfied. But we may still have to worry about the price." Lin Yin looked at Luo Jie and Song Maoting's expressions and guessed that they both thought it was expensive.

"Then you should make a decision quickly. I have several people here who have come to see the store. They will rent it out by then."

Lin Shi listened silently and pursed her lips when she heard the landlady's words.

Who doesn’t know that it’s almost winter vacation now, and the passenger flow here at China Overseas Academy of Fine Arts has been reduced by half during the winter vacation. Even if there are people coming to see it, most of them want to start business after the New Year.

When she first fell in love with this store, she thought she could get a discount on the price by renting it during the winter vacation. But now it seems that the landlord is not willing to give in to the price.

"Okay, let's consider contacting you then."

After saying that, everyone walked out of the store.

Luo Jie looked back at the landlord's aunt as she closed the rolling shutter door, and couldn't help but said to Lin Yin: "The price is really too high, one thousand yuan. We don't have many students, and the source of subsequent students has not yet been determined. This

You can't spend money like this."

Lin Yin replied: "I also think it's a bit expensive. At first, I thought the price could be reduced. But now it seems that's not possible. Shi Shi and I also looked at two good ones and went to check them out together. But in addition,

The locations of the two stores are not as good as this one.”

"Actually, I think it doesn't matter whether the location of the store is good or not."

Song Maoting looked at his wife and continued his analysis: "I think it would be better for your studio to be located in a quieter area. The location of this store is too good, but it is a bit noisy, don't you think?"

Song Maoting turned back and pointed around, "And you see, this is a rolling shutter door. If the light is better in class, you must open the rolling shutter door, so that the surrounding noise will be louder. Is it better for you to paint in a quieter environment?"

good."

After listening to Song Maoting's words, Lin Shi wanted to clap and applaud.m.zx.

"This store is indeed perfect for doing business, but if you use it to open a studio, you may not need such a good location."

"Yes, this is a good idea. We have relatively little funds now, so we still need to find some more cost-effective stores." Luo Jie agreed.

"Okay, the two stores at the back are also good, and the rent is lower than this one. Let's take a look."

"Mom, let's go to Grandma Zhou's place first. It's quiet there."

Lin Shi and Lin Yin looked at the stores for a week. The store that satisfied her the most was Grandma Zhou’s house. It had a quiet environment and the rent was the cheapest. So Lin Shi felt that Grandma Zhou’s house was her first choice.

, so I recommend it to everyone now.

"Okay, let's go to Grandma Zhou's house first."

After hearing Lin Yin's words, Lin Shi shook off his hand held by Shi An and Song Qingyu, walked up and held Lin Yin's hand, and walked in front to lead the way.

It's not far to go to Grandma Zhou's house, it only takes about ten minutes to walk. Unlike the previous store, Grandma Zhou's house is not close to the road, but close to a small park.

When we reached our destination, what caught our eyes was a small self-built four-story western-style building. The house was located on the far side, next to it was a small open space with some fruits and vegetables planted there. Beyond that was a small park with a small rockery and

fountain.

Lin Yin heard this house recommended by an old man when she was chatting downstairs. Since there was no rental notice posted at the door, Lin Yin could only ask Grandma Zhou to open the door.

When Grandma Zhou heard the sound, she poked her head out of the window upstairs, "Hey, it's Shi Shi and Yinyin." Seeing that it was them, Grandma Zhou smiled happily and ran downstairs to open the door.

Grandma Zhou's house is not equipped with rolling shutters. Rolling shutters are relatively heavy and not very convenient for the elderly. Grandma Zhou's house is equipped with iron sliding doors. You can open one door and push it to both sides, which is more convenient.

"Have you brought your family over to view the house?" Grandma Zhou opened the door to greet her enthusiastically.

"Yes, Grandma Zhou, this is my husband, and this is my studio partner."

Lin Yin introduced to Grandma Zhou.
