Chapter 139: The Age of Entrepreneurship
"hi, Yixi, what a coincidence!" Lin Xi brought her coffee to me.
"Yeah." I smiled, took a sip of tea and started typing on the keyboard again.
"Yixi, are you myopia?" Lin Xi said in the glasses I was wearing.
"No, this is anti-computer radiation," I explained, but my hand still didn't stop and was still typing on the keyboard.
"Oh, I forgot that you are a gold collar in the office now. You need some protective measures to face the computer every day, but you are quite handsome." Lin Xi nodded and praised at me.
I didn't like Lin Xi, and I devoted myself to my work. Lin Xi didn't care and stared at me with her chin.
......
About half an hour later, I finally finished writing the summary report, stretched my body, looked at Lin Xi, and she lay on the table and played with her cell phone.
"Lin Xi, I have to leave. Are you going back?" I asked.
Lin Xi signaled me to wait, and said to me seriously, "Yixi, I'm ready to go to work."
"What company do you want to go to work?" I asked curiously.
"The original company, but this time it's doing administrative work."
I am a little puzzled. As far as I know, Lin Xi used to have a salary of about 3,000 yuan. Does she still care about this meager salary now?
Looking at my puzzled expression, Lin Xi smiled and explained, "You don't have to be so idle after work. This is a good thing for my current life."
I thought about it and said, "Well, being busy will make people forget a lot of negative emotions."
While I was talking, my phone rang and I looked at the number. It was called by Miao Xiaoyu, the kid.
As soon as he answered the phone, he said to me in an excited tone: "Yixi, come to our school quickly. There is a store in a golden location for rent. I think it is particularly suitable for our Xiluo men's supplies store branch."
I was a little interested when I heard Miao Xiaoyu say this. The college student market has always been the market I want to explore, and the recent outdoor campus sales have all had good results, which proves that this is a very potential market.
"Whose phone number, Yixi?" Lin Xi said as she looked at me with a serious expression.
"Friend, I said there is a good shop in the university town for rent." I explained.
"Are you here now?"
"Um."
"I'll go with you, I want to go and see it too~~~ I haven't felt the atmosphere of university for a long time!" Lin Xi was afraid that I would not want to, so he explained why she wanted to go together.
I smiled and said, "Then let's go together."
......
Lin Xi and I drove to the university town in our car. In twenty minutes, we arrived at our destination.
When we got out of the car, Miao Xiaoyu, Xia Feier and Su Mei were already standing outside the school waiting.
"Yixi, this shop is really good. It used to be a restaurant. Recently, the boss had some business problems and had conflicts with the landlord. The landlord forced the house to be taken back." Miao Xiaoyu still said to me in an excited tone.
"Well, take me to see first." I said and asked Miao Xiaoyu and others to guide me.
A group of five people came to the shop to rent. I stood outside the door and looked at it. It was a big shop with about 150 square meters. The geographical location was really good, as Miao Xiaoyu said. It was a shop worth investing in.
I asked Miao Xiaoyu, "How much is the rent? Will it be paid annually?"
When Miao Xiaoyu saw that I had an intention to invest, she said happily: "Wait, I will call the homeowner and we will have an interview."
.....
After a while, the owner drove over in a black Mercedes-Benz GLK. Judging from his financial resources, he should be a professional shop speculator.
The owner is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He is a bit bald and dresses casually, without the aura of an office worker. It seems that my guess is right, he is a professional real estate speculator.
"Who are you going to rent a house?" said the rent straight to the point and looked at us.
I judged from his tone that many people should have come to rent a house these days, but none of them were done because his tone was a little impatient.
"I want to rent it. What is the rental method for you here?" I asked.
"The whole rent on the third floor is paid annually, 350,000 yuan a year." The homeowner said concisely.
But I asked in confusion: "Three floors are rented in full? Aren't you just renting the next floor?"
The boss smiled and explained, "Young man, have you seen it? The third floor of this house is mine. The first floor is rented to someone else to open a hotel. The second floor is a billiard room and the third floor is a game room." After saying that, he pointed at the entire building.
I brought him a cigarette and lit one myself. He continued, "What I mean now is that it is a three-story rental. Now that it is a scattered rental, it is too troublesome to collect rent. There are many tenants and the quality of the business operators is uneven. There are always a phenomenon of delaying rent. I come here every few days to urge me, so I just want to be a little cheaper than the three-story rental. This will save me trouble."
"Oh." I said, nodded and looked at the house again. According to my observation, these three floors should have more than 400 square meters in total. 350,000 yuan a year is not expensive, but I really don't need such a large operating area, and I don't have so much money to invest. The decoration of the three-story house and the investment in other infrastructure is a huge amount of scary funds.
Judging from the attitude of the owner, he would definitely not want to rent a separate floor, and I really don’t have the need to rent a third floor, so this is a deal that cannot be negotiated. Just when I was about to say I wouldn’t rent it, Lin Xi said to the owner: “Boss, let’s go back and think about it first. If there are other people renting it in the middle, please call us to notify us and we will reply you as soon as possible. Do you think this is OK?”
"This is no problem," the boss nodded and said, after all, it was a rent of 350,000 yuan, and it was impossible to negotiate in one go.
.....
Lin Xi, Miao Xiaoyu and others, I found a drink shop to discuss the rental of a house.
Lin Xi said first: "Yixi, I want to rent this house."
"Have you thought about running a project?" I asked.
Lin Xi shook his head.
"I just calculated it for a while. If all three floors are used to operate projects, the most conservative one million investment will be required. You have no experience in doing business, which is too risky." I said to Lin Xi very seriously.
"I don't have it, but you have it!!" Lin Xi said to me seriously.
At this time, Miao Xiaoyu also answered the conversation and said, "Yixi, we all think you have a unique business mind. This shop is really good. It would be a pity if you miss it!"
Su Mei and Xia Feier also nodded, expressing their agreement with Miao Xiaoyu's words. Su Mei said to me again: "Amazing, if you don't have enough funds, we can also invest in it. There is also Brother Wang. If we bring Brother Wang together, there will be no problem at all."
"What are you trying to do? Start a business together?" I asked with a smile.
