"If you have difficulty with funds, just tell me and I will ask your brother Yongjia to lend you an interest-free loan."
Father Lou smiled and said to Zhang Zhonghua.
"It's enough for now. In the early stage of the branch, we mainly rented stores. However, when there are more stores in the future, the current central kitchen will not be enough. We will also need to re-purchase large-scale assembly line equipment and build a new large-scale central kitchen.
, we will need a lot of funds at that time, if the funds are insufficient, I will talk to you."
"Okay, take it step by step, and the risk will be less if you work steadily."
Lou Zhenhua gave Zhang Zhonghua some advice.
In the previous life of the Lou family in the TV series, a large amount of assets were lost in the Forty-Nine Cities, and they fell out of the wealthy class after coming to Hong Kong Island. In this life, Zhang Zhonghua gave early warning and assisted in the evacuation, and almost all the assets were transferred to Hong Kong Island.
, still belongs to the rich.
The cfc Minsheng Plaza store does not require Zhang Zhonghua to continue to worry about. In the next period of time, Zhang Zhonghua began to search for stores in Central and conduct research on nearby markets in order to find the most suitable store.
It's a pity that after several days, Zhang Zhonghua failed to find a suitable store. Central is so prosperous that it's hard to find a store.
The downturn in real estate on Hong Kong Island is now coming to an end. The decline in housing prices on Hong Kong Island has begun to slow down and will soon bottom out. However, all walks of life are not doing well. Housing prices will still fall this year, but it will be over next year.
Started buying real estate.
The same is true for Central. The overall economic downturn on Hong Kong Island still has a considerable impact on Central.
Zhang Zhonghua has been searching for a long time near the Landmark Plaza in Central. Although the current Landmark Plaza is not the Landmark Plaza that was rebuilt decades later, it is still quite large in scale, with tall buildings everywhere and a constant flow of people.
Zhang Zhonghua couldn't help but sigh that the Jardine Matheson Group was too rich and too big. It was worthy of being a large group with a history of more than 100 years. Since moving its headquarters to Hong Kong Island in 1954, it has rapidly developed real estate, Mandarin Oriental.
Hotels, Jardine Pacific, Jardine Motors, shipping and other multi-faceted developments, no wonder it was targeted by the adult guy from the Li family.
After searching for a few days in Central with no results, Zhang Zhonghua entrusted an agency to help keep an eye on him. Instead, he came to the University of Hong Kong in the westernmost part of Hong Kong Island.
The Island University of Hong Kong is on a hill. The overall architectural style is Western. The whole body is white and very beautiful and dazzling. However, it is impossible to open a store on the hill, so Zhang Zhonghua followed the road down the hill and stared at a bustling commercial street at the bottom of the hill.
There are bookstores, restaurants, clothing stores, etc. that rely on the students of the University of Hong Kong to survive. There are several shops in the commercial street with notices of the transfer of Jidian. It seems that the business of college students is not so easy, especially
Wealthy college students are knowledgeable and naturally more picky about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Zhang Zhonghua looked around and found only two that were suitable. Every inch of land in this place was very expensive to buy or rent. It would be no problem for a shop to be prosperous for five generations. Anyway, the University of Hong Kong is just around the corner.
"Boss, do you want to transfer this store?"
Zhang Zhonghua walked into a store he wanted to transfer and asked.
"Yes, I want to transfer it!"
This boss is quite miserable. He actually signed a four-year lease contract, but just over half a year later he was about to quit. He was losing money every day and couldn't continue to work.
"Then how are you going to transfer it?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked his boss.
"If I sublet it to you, it will be HKD 300 per month. If I pay it off in one go, HKD 10,000 will be enough."
The boss thought that Zhang Zhonghua was asking out of curiosity. In his opinion, Zhang Zhonghua, a hairy man with a newly grown hair, also wanted to open a shop near the University of Hong Kong. He was probably not here to entertain me, so the boss reported it randomly.
One price.
Damn it, this place is too expensive. Such a small house costs 300 Hong Kong dollars a month. You were trying to steal money, so you turned around and left.
"The price is really too high. I'd better go to another store nearby and ask."
Hearing Zhang Zhonghua's words, the store owner was stunned. Do you really want to rent it? So he quickly stopped Zhang Zhonghua who was walking out and asked: "This handsome boy, do you really want to take over this store?"
"Of course, am I here to entertain you? I have been walking around Central for a few days but there is no suitable place. Why don't I come to the University of Hong Kong and have a look? Did you hear about the CFC fast food restaurant in Minsheng Plaza in Causeway Bay?
Did you pass? That’s what I drove!”
Zhang Zhonghua glanced at the shop owner and said to him.
"CFC? I've heard of it. I heard it's very popular? Come here, pretty boy, and let's chat inside."
He had heard about cfc, it was the most popular restaurant on the island in the past month. Of course he had heard about it as he was also in the catering industry.
After Zhang Zhonghua followed the boss into the hotel, he began to look at the hotel seriously. It seemed that it had just been renovated not long ago. Both the interior decoration and the tables, chairs and benches were 99% new.
Zhang Zhonghua shook his head, it seemed that the boss was very miserable.
After Zhang Zhonghua sat down, the shop owner also sat opposite him, and then asked: "I don't know, what do you call this handsome guy?"
"Boss, I'm Zhang Zhonghua, you can just call me Ah Hua."
"Okay, then I'll call you Ah Hua. Ah Hua, if you sincerely take over the store, I'll pay you only 8,000 yuan in one lump sum. Look at my store, both the decoration and the tables, chairs and benches are brand new. It can
Save you a lot of things.
Also, these are all”
The shop owner smiled and said to Zhang Zhonghua.
"Boss, you are still too high. I am going to open a CFC branch here. The interior decoration, tables, chairs and benches must be consistent with the store in Minsheng Plaza. I can't use most of your specialties and tables, chairs and benches.
, I still need to renovate this store after I take over it.
Also, boss, it’s already June and we’re already on vacation. There will be no business for the next two months or so! These two months are basically pure losses? How about I come back to talk to you in two months?
?”
Zhang Zhonghua said to the store owner calmly.
"Ah, this..."
The boss knows that what Zhang Zhonghua said is right. The University of Hong Kong is on holiday now, and the semester will not start until the end of August or the beginning of September. There will be basically no business in these two months, and he cannot afford to lose more than two more months.
In the end, after bargaining, Zhang Zhonghua took over the store for 6,500 Hong Kong dollars. The boss took away the tables, chairs and benches and took care of Zhang Zhonghua's one-week decoration time.
Zhang Zhonghua went to the notary office with the boss and the landlord to notarize it, signed a sublease contract and paid the sublease fee in one lump sum. When he returned to the store, Zhang Zhonghua began to inspect the store in detail.
