Yan Xiao smiled and said: "I know that, but I really need to think about it again, and I feel that this place is still a little small."
"Oh well!"
After coming out of the Jixiang Noodle House, the two of them rushed to the other two stores. One was on the main street of Dongshi. That street was full of hotels, inns, and snack shops. The store was larger than the Jixiang Noodle House. It was an attic.
The kitchen is not bad, but there is no backyard. If you rent it, you will have to rent a small courtyard for the store's waiters and chefs to live. And because it is on the main street, the rent is not cheap, it is more than 900 taels a month.
, the annual rent is more than 10,000 yuan. If this store is rented for three years, Jixiang Noodle House can be bought.
The last one is in a slightly remote place, but there are many villas of dignitaries in the city nearby, and it is also close to Fengtai Academy. The size of Yanxiao's room is very satisfactory, with two floors, a large kitchen, and
The only disadvantage of this small courtyard is that it is too far away from the place where you can buy groceries, but you can ask someone to deliver groceries every day.
It's just that the rent is a little more expensive. Yan Xiao looked at the boss in front of him and said, "Boss Zhang, your rent is negotiable, right?"
Boss Zhang is a slightly fat middle-aged man with a beard. After listening to Yan Xiao’s words, Boss Zhang sat up straight and said with a distressed look on his face: “Ms. Yan, look at how spacious my place is.
Seven hundred taels is really no less. The location of my store is a little bit off, so it is closer to the front. The rent of my store is eight or nine hundred a month. So, this is really
The lowest price, no less.”
Yan smiled and said, "The place you have here is indeed big, but as you said, the location is a little bit off, so it wouldn't be appropriate to charge such a high price."
Seeing Boss Zhang, Yan Xiao still didn't let go and said: "In this case, I will also explain to you. When I came to see your store, I had already gone to the store on the main street in Dongshi. This one only costs 700 taels.
, but I think its place is a little small, so I will come to your store again. I like your store very much, mainly because it is spacious, but your price, to be honest, I do think it is expensive.
"
After hearing this, Boss Zhang said: "Miss Yan, don't use such words to deceive me. This is indeed the lowest price."
Yanxiao, Boss Zhang, still had no intention of lowering the price, so he stood up and said, "In that case, let's take our leave. We've been too much to disturb you today." After saying that, he winked at Su Niang, and the two of them turned around and left.
Seeing that they were about to go downstairs, Boss Zhang stopped the two of them: "Wait a minute."
"Boss Zhang, please speak." Yan Xiao turned around and looked at Boss Zhang and said.
"Well, how about I lose twenty taels every month?"
Yan Xiao looked at it, and Su Niang shook her head and said, "This is still very expensive. It costs seven or eight thousand taels a year to go out."
"Fifty taels, it can't be any less. I also need to eat. There are elders and younger ones in my family."
Yan Xiao said cheerfully: "Okay, it's six hundred and fifty taels, I'll rent it for one year."
Boss Zhang smiled and agreed. He was very happy and said: "Okay, then I'll get someone to prepare the contract, and we'll sign it the next day. How about it?"
"no problem."
After the two sisters came out of the restaurant, Su Niang gave Yan Xiao a thumbs up and praised, "Oh, those two sentences you just said were really powerful. You made the boss change his words in no time."
"I just lied to him, and you cooperated very well." Yan Xiao said with a smile.
Su Niang looked at the teahouse behind her and said to Yan Xiao, "It's rare to be so happy. Come on, I'll treat you to something delicious."
"Then I'll treat you too. You helped me visit these three restaurants, and you're running around with me today. I have to thank you very much." Yan said with a smile.
"If you really want to thank me, just cook a meal to thank me some other time. I'll treat you today."
"That's okay too."
The two went to a restaurant together and ordered three dishes and a bottle of fruit wine. After eating, they went to Qiaoyun's house to tell Qiaoyun about the incident.
Qiu Yun looked at Su Niang and Yan Xiao in surprise, "What? Did you negotiate for the restaurant today?"
"Yes, I've concluded the negotiation. The restaurant has fifty tables and has two floors. There are private seats on the lower floor and private rooms on the second floor." Yan Xiao explained.
Qiaoyun said: "You guys are too fast. Why didn't you tell me in advance? I also asked about a restaurant here. We can drop by and check it out."
"It's okay. I'm very satisfied with the house we've negotiated now. The main reason is that its layout is easy to decorate."
"Hmm, fifty tables, isn't it a bit big? Can you handle such a big store?" Qiaoyun asked.
Yan smiled and said: "No problem, I will go to the store to take care of it every day."
"What about your mother-in-law? I think it's unlikely that your mother-in-law will let you go out to do business." Qiao Yun said worriedly.
"I can leave my shop to my shopkeeper. My shopkeeper is an old shopkeeper for decades. He can handle the problems in the shop without any problem. And he also has a young apprentice who I can introduce to him.
You, this way you also have a shopkeeper in your shop." Su Niang said.
"Would this be too much trouble? I originally wanted to recruit a group of people." Yan said with a smile.
"What's the trouble? It's my sister's."
"What about this money? Can you do it? The rent of 650 taels a month should be 7800 taels a year!" Qiaoyun pinched his fingers and said.
"I still have this money. Didn't I sell poems last time? I was given a thousand gold. Renting this shop is enough."
Qiaoyun said: "Okay, if you have any difficulties, just tell me."
Yan Xiao told Qiao Yun all kinds of things about opening the store, and then he got up and went home as he watched the sun disappear.
The next day, Yan Xiao made a list of everything to do when opening the store at home, so that it would be clear at a glance and would not cause confusion.
The decoration of this new shop cost a lot of money. There were thirty or forty tables on the first floor of the original shop. Yan Xiao wanted to change the lobby below into the style of a hot pot restaurant, with thirty tables and all the tables.
They are all placed vertically in the style of compartments, with lanterns hanging above them.
There are ten cooks, waiters, and waiters each in the store, and one person in the accounting office.
Thirty sets of various bowls, plates, dishes, cups, and lamps, fifteen small, medium, and large soup pots, and thirty vegetable racks.
It is very important for this new store to attract customers. We must get a VIP card with a 10% discount and a points card.
Yan Xiao wrote while thinking, and soon he had written a full page. Yan Xiao looked at the things on the paper and finally felt a little relieved. This chapter has been completed!
