【56】Rent a facade
In the early morning, Er Laizi grabbed Wu Yongzhu who was sleeping and pulled the cart away.
An hour later, Wu Daguang drove the tractor and Xinghua to the county town.
As promised, we came to the house where we hosted the wedding last time. The bride had already gone to another place to go to college, and the groom took Wu Daguang to his mother-in-law's house.
When the mother-in-law saw her son-in-law, she changed her appearance when she saw Wu Daguang and invited someone to come into the house for tea with a smile.
"Daguang, you are here. I'll ask you about the storefront. The storefront is in the center of the county and has a good area. There are county governments and primary schools around. Don't you have a daughter? She is about to go to school. You said it's a coincidence that there is an elementary school nearby. I'll save you the effort to send your daughter to school." The woman patted Xinghua's little shoulder.
Xinghua said politely: "Hello Auntie."
"You're so good, aunt find candy." The woman found the candy and stuffed it to the apricot blossoms.
It sounds like a prelude to the groundwork. The storefront in the county center must be higher than the average price. Wu Daguang once thought about this. He should not find a corner to do business in order to make a few dozen yuan cheaper.
"Aunt, there is a large traffic in the place, so the rent is not low." Wu Daguang said.
"The rent in the area must be high. You have to understand. What do you think is the rent of 600 per month?" the woman asked carefully. After all, 600 yuan is equivalent to a few months' salary for a person from the mountains.
Wu Daguang lowered his head and thought about it. This era is a lot of 600 yuan. Where can the location be so expensive? If the location is good, it can be accepted.
"Please take me to take a look. I have to check the location and how big the area is." Wu Daguang said politely.
It is not suitable to bring Xinghua with you when talking about things. Xinghua was watching TV at the woman's house. The woman took Wu Daguang to stop a tricycle at the door. She felt that she was embarrassed to ride Wu Daguang's tractor.
When he arrived at his destination, Wu Daguang was quite satisfied when he saw the storefront.
The first store is located at the intersection, with two floors up and down, and a total of 200 square meters. The most important thing is that this place was once a catering industry. In the minds of diners, it has been divided into restaurants. From the perspective of the store, it is not an old brand, and changing the brand will not affect anything.
The restaurant has been closed and locked. The woman knocked at the door for a long time but no one responded. It must be someone sleeping on the second floor, so I didn't hear it.
The woman walked to the convenience store next to her and called, then contacted the people upstairs. As Wu Daguang thought, the woman was sleeping, and the woman was a well-educated person, and she felt impolite. If she was placed in the countryside, she would be a prodigal girl.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was slightly fat and not tall. He had a Mediterranean hairstyle and was wearing pajamas. He looked at him at first glance and felt smooth.
After the woman explained her purpose, she knew each other. The middle-aged man's surname was Wang and liked to call himself the boss.
"Boss Wang, I came here with sincerity and am quite satisfied with your storefront." Wu Daguang said politely.
Boss Wang straightened his waist, crossed his hands on his big belly, and smacked his lips: "There are no two cities in this area. Do you think this area is expensive? There are many people coming and going, and there are many people behind the intersection. If there are too many people in the future, I can't afford to do business in this area. If I hadn't planned to go to the city, I would have been reluctant to rent it out."
Both sides were polite again. The meaning of Boss Wang's words seemed to be more than just six hundred yuan.
"You also know that I run a hotel. If I rent it to you, I can't continue. My small restaurant has a small amount of 1,000 yuan a day. Should you compensate for my losses?" Boss Wang smiled.
"What does Boss Wang mean?" Wu Daguang smiled with a deep smile, as if he had seen through the Boss Wang in front of him at first glance.
"I heard that you are also interested in doing restaurant business. You can pay me an extra transfer fee of 2,000 yuan. You can use my signature at will." Boss Wang said greedily.
Sure enough, there is no such good thing. No wonder no one comes to rent it in this world. The relationship is that Boss Wang is too greedy and wants a transfer fee."
This is completely unacceptable. Judging from the fact that Boss Wang dares to open his mouth and asks for the two thousand yuan, his business is not good. Greedy people always want to make more money, so he must be doing business before leaving and it is impossible to close the door. The business in this area can be bleak, and Boss Wang is also very good.
"Boss Wang, you don't look like a rich man. The extra two thousand yuan you have is too far-fetched. Do you think?" Wu Daguang refused, this must be rejected.
Boss Wang's face changed color instantly and became gloomy: "Two thousand yuan is still a little short. I won't rent it anymore. You can find another family."
Regardless of the face of his old classmate's wife, he rushed the woman and Wu Daguang out.
The woman didn't understand at all. She had agreed with her husband for 600 yuan a month, but today she agreed to negotiate the terms and conditions to make her extra 2,000 yuan.
"Daguang, you're so embarrassed. I heard that it was only six hundred a month, not two thousand." The woman was sorry.
Wu Daguang smiled disapprovingly: "It's okay, aunt, I'm just here to come to the storefront. If he doesn't rent it, I'll look for another storefront. This storefront is not the only one."
In order to express her apology, the woman led Daguang around and walked around several stores. The territory was not as good as the first one, but she had backbone. Wu Daguang would never bow his head for two thousand yuan.
After choosing, I took a look at a store at a 100-meter south of the intersection. The store was similar to that of Boss Wang, and the area was a little different. The money I asked for would definitely be cheaper. After bargaining, the price was set at 520 yuan, without a transfer fee. The area was 160 square meters above and below. It can be used for business on the first floor and people on the second floor. If the business is good in the future, the second floor can be used for commercial use. Temporary residences can be built on the roof.
Afterwards, several more companies left, and relatively speaking, this one was quite satisfied. If it weren't for the fact that the family members were seriously ill, Wu Daguang would not have been able to get such a cheap price.
Wu Daguang brought the money to this trip, paid one year's rent that day, and filled out the lease contract.
In order to express his gratitude to the woman, Wu Daguang invited the woman's family to have supper in the afternoon.
During the period, the woman kept complaining that her husband didn't ask clearly, and that her old classmates didn't give her face, which really made her husband unable to hold on to Wu Daguang, let alone in front of Xinghua.
After dinner, it was already late. Wu Daguang found a hotel to stay and went back in the early morning of the next day.
When they got home, Er Laizi and Wu Yongzhu came back from the market. The two of them always talked about each other and blamed each other.
"How is Brother Guang? How is that shop?" Er Laizi couldn't wait to ask.
Wu Yongzhu snorted coldly: "If you can find it, you can't find it. What does it have to do with you? You don't make much money, you are naive."
"Shut up and get out of here." After getting along, Er Laizi was not polite to Wu Yongzhu.
Wu Daguang replied to Erlaizi: "It's done. I've rented it for a year. You pack up two pieces of clothes and follow me to the county to watch the decoration."
Erlaizi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't believe it: "It's really Brother Guang, I can go to the county."
Wu Yongzhu immediately jumped out to object: "What should you do if you go to the county?"
