He was invited to sit down and poured tea. There were five fangs, and two fangs were specially allocated to serve Zhu Pingan. For a moment, Zhu Pingan felt like a VIP customer in the bank, enjoying the fantas.
Super preferential services.
"Mr. Zhu, why did you come to our dental office? I dare not say anything else. If you want to pawn or rent the property, we will definitely make Mr. Zhu satisfied." Fang Ya, who was the first to entertain Zhu Ping'an, patted his chest.
Give Zhu Pingan a guarantee.
"I really want to trouble you, I think..."
Zhu Pingan thanked them with his hands, and then informed them of his intention to rent a suitable shop for catering.
Considering his own economic conditions, Zhu Pingan was not prepared to buy, but chose to rent.
Buying a house is not an easy task in modern times or in the Ming Dynasty. Although the house prices in the Ming Dynasty are much cheaper than those in the modern times, you can't buy a good shop without more than a hundred taels of silver.
You must know that Hai Rui, who is still working as a county magistrate in the south, will continue to struggle for eighteen years before he can buy a house in Hainan, the 20th Ring Road in Beijing, when he retires at the age of 58.
Therefore, considering Zhu Pingan's bankruptcy situation, buying a shop in a good location in Beijing is a no-brainer.
"Shop, Master Zhu, please wait a moment." Fang Ya said, reaching out and taking out a book and a picture of fish scales from the bookshelf on the side.
This fish scale map was made by Fang Ya himself. The houses for rent in the Xinghuamen area were divided into residential buildings and shops, and were marked on the map one by one, just like the fish scale map of fields produced by the government.
"Master Zhu, look, all the shops for rent in the Xinghuamen area are here."
Fang Ya unfolded the fish scale diagram on the table and pointed out the shops for rent on the fish scale diagram to Zhu Pingan one by one.
Zhu Ping'an leaned over and looked along Fang Ya's fingers, and saw that the fish scale diagram showed,.
"Sir, what do you think of this store? It is located about thirty steps west of Xinghua Gate. There are many businesses nearby and the crowds are dense. Whether you are opening a teahouse, restaurant or restaurant, it is a rare and good location. This is
A prosperous shop was originally a restaurant, but it changed hands because the owner was transferred to the south." Fang Ya pointed to a shop on the fish scale map and said to Zhu Pingan.
Well, it is indeed a good location. Zhu Pingan nodded. Zhu Pingan was impressed by the location of this store. It is close to the city gate, beside the canal, and there is a residential area behind it. There is no need to worry about the lack of foot traffic. It is indeed a
A good location for a restaurant.
"How much is the rent?" Zhu Pingan asked.
"Sir, please see, this is our registration for this shop. This shop is three rooms wide, the tax is 25 steps and 2, and the monthly rent is 18 taels of silver. If it is rented by you, we can rent it with you.
Their boss discussed it and estimated that the monthly rent can be discounted by 5 taels, and the monthly rent is only eighteen taels." Fang Ya found the store just mentioned from the registration book and pointed out the registration information to Zhu Ping'an.
, when it came to the rent, Fang Ya gave Zhu Pingan a very realistic price, and also gave Zhu Pingan a discount, saying that he could help Zhu Pingan lower the price from the lessor.
However, after this "reality" and "discount", the monthly rent is still as high as eighteen taels of silver! Every inch of land in the imperial capital is really precious.
Although he had a certain tone in his heart, after hearing Fang Ya talk about the rent, Zhu Pingan's heart still felt cold.
Of course, to be honest, the rent of shops in the capital in the Ming Dynasty was many times cheaper than in modern times.
This shop is taxed at 25 steps and 2, which means that the building area of the shop is 25 steps and 2. The "step" here refers to "lunge". In the Ming Dynasty, one lunge was equivalent to 2.8 square meters, and 25.2 lunges was about
It is 70 square meters.
The monthly rent for a 70-square-meter shop is eighteen taels of silver, which is about 10,800 yuan in RMB.
It looked very expensive, and it was indeed very expensive. It was so expensive that Zhu Ping'an couldn't afford it.
However, compared with modern times, this price is definitely a cabbage price. If it is modern, for a 70-square-meter shop in Beijing, according to statistics from an organization in 2014, the rent of shopping mall shops in Beijing is, on average, per
A square meter per day is 24 yuan, which is 720 yuan per square meter per month. The monthly rent for a 70-square-meter shop is 50,400 yuan, which is about 84 taels in silver.
However, even though it was nearly five times cheaper in ancient times than in modern times, Zhu Ping'an still couldn't afford it. This month's rent was equivalent to several months of his salary.
"In addition, our Fang Ya's charging rule is 'three to two'. I can make the decision with Mr. Zhu and reduce it by half for Mr. Zhu. I only charge half the cost of one errand, which is enough." Fang Ya said again.
I gave Zhu Pingan a discount.
Fang Ya means that the agency fee will be reduced by more than half to Zhu Pingan, and only 0.5 points will be charged. Fang Ya is very proud of Zhu Pingan.
Whether it is leasing or buying and selling, Fang Ya acts as an intermediary and has to contact both parties, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. He also has to go through the formalities at the government office. This all requires costs. Fang Ya can't work in vain, and naturally has to charge a certain fee.
The business rule in Daming Fangya is "cheng three and break two", "cheng" refers to the seller and the lessor, and "cheng" means that the transaction is completed, which is called "success"; "break" refers to the buyer and lessee.
, breaking means that you have spent money on buying a house and renting a house, which is called breaking. Cheng 3 breaking 2 means that after the transaction is completed, Fanya collects a 3% agency fee from the seller and lessor, and charges 3% from the buyer and renter.
Each person charges an agency fee of 2%, and a total agency fee of 5% is charged.
The intermediary fee for this "three for three and two for two" is more expensive than modern ones.
But the discount given to Zhu Pingan is really great.
Generally speaking, "broken" parties charge an agency fee of 2%, but now Zhu Ping'an only charges 0.5%. It is indeed almost as Fang Ya said that it only charges an errand fee.
"Ahem, thank you, thank you. It's just that I've been shy recently, so the rent is a bit high." Zhu Pingan coughed and said a little embarrassed.
"Oh, sir, what do you think of this shop? This shop is about fifty steps further away than the previous one, and the area is smaller. The tax is twenty steps and two, and the monthly rent for the shop here is thirteen silver coins.
Two." After hearing this, Fang Ya pointed out another shop to Zhu Ping'an.
The area of this store is more than ten square meters smaller, it is sixty or seventy meters farther back, and the price is five taels cheaper.
However, there is still a big gap with Zhu Pingan's expectations.
Finally, Fang Ya pointed one by one, and Zhu Pingan shook his head from time to time, and finally chose the area of the store from the prime location near Xinghua Gate to the entrance of the third hall, and then to the entrance of the fourth hall, avoiding the bustling areas. Finally, we settled in the area east of Qiangdong, the unloading and storage area, which is famous for its mess.
Finally, I chose a store. It was a newly registered store. The location was not good, the area was about 70 square meters, and the monthly rent was only 8 taels.
Fang Ya asked Zhu Pingan to wait for a day, and he would communicate with the lessor first. After finalizing the contract, he would notify Zhu Pingan to sign the contract, go to the Yamen to pay taxes, etc.
