Traveling through the Eighth Five-Year Plan: Starting from selling fruit at a stall

Chapter 40 I Still Want to Open a Clothing Store

"That's not how it works, Grandma," Ling Yue patiently explained to her, "Look, I'm renting your house, and if you still rent out the stall at the entrance, what do you think I'm renting your house for? The entrance It’s blocked, and customers can’t come in, what should I do with my business?”

"Then do you rent it or not? If you don't rent it, don't make fun of my old woman."

The old lady said angrily: "I'm just renting the front door to you, and you don't have any control over the booth fee at the door!"

"Okay, sister, it seems that we can't reach an agreement."

In terms of ruthlessness, Mid-Autumn Festival is the best.

But he has never done it before, and he can't do such a thing.

He got up and went out: "Let's go and see other facades."

Ling Yue still wants to fight for it again, she can't break up with others just because of the booth fee at the door.

"Grandma, I sincerely want to rent this house from you. You should think about it again. I'll come back tomorrow."

"Who is it!" The old man raised his voice, "I want to rent the house, and I also charge for the booth fee. If you think it's too expensive, don't come to my old woman to have fun!"

"Sister, this old woman is really not a thing!" After walking away, Ji Zhongqiu couldn't help but start complaining, "The house is about to be rented, and she still thinks about the booth fee at the door."

"What a fool."

"Okay, let's not say a few words." Ling Yue looked back at the house regretfully, his eyes were full of disappointment, such a good pier could not be rented.

Ji Zhongqiu can see it openly: "By the way, sister, didn't you say that you have also taken a fancy to other facades, let's have a look together."

Ling Yue led him through the open space in front of the department store again, to a corner door on the other side.

"There are only two facades, and they are also at the corner."

This facade and the one just now are only separated by the space of more than ten meters in the middle of the department store. The two facades are facing each other far away, one to the east and the other to the west.

In contrast, the streets to the east appear more prosperous.

Two doors past, there is also a photo studio and a barber shop.

"This one is not bad, but it's a bit small." Ji Zhongqiu looked at it seriously, "Have you asked about the price?"

Ling Yue shook her head: "No."

It's exactly what Ji Zhongqiu said, if the facade was a little bigger, it would be more perfect.

"But sister, a small appearance also has its advantages, and the pressure is not so great."

This is true, but who wants to do business bigger and stronger.

But the bigger the facade, the more expensive the rent, and the pressure will naturally be greater.

I found the landlord and asked about the price. This facade is also 400 yuan a year, and two rooms cost 800 yuan, which can only be reduced by 20 yuan at most.

There is no difference between 800 yuan and [-] yuan.

Ling Yue took the opportunity to bring up the matter of the stalls at the entrance, and the landlord was very straightforward: "It's all temporarily rented. If you rent the facade, the stalls at the entrance will be yours. You can take it if you want, and I don't care if you don't."

Ling Yue was very satisfied with his words.

There is no dispute at the booth at the entrance, and some out-of-stock goods can also be processed at the entrance.

"Well, I will discuss it with my family later. After all, 800 yuan is not a small amount."

"Okay, but you have to hurry up. Someone was asking about it yesterday, so you have to hurry up."

Ling Yue couldn't hear the voice of his words.

She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take him to see at noon, and if he agrees, we'll sign the contract."

Before leaving, Ling Yue looked at the front and back of the door again.

Connected behind the facade are houses, one on the left and one on the left.There is a big window on the back wall of the house, which provides plenty of light, and there is a small yard with a back door at the back, where the kitchen and toilet are located.

There is a staircase next to the kitchen, and the landlord said that if she rented the facade, they would go up to the second floor from here instead of passing through the shop.

Ling Yue was even more satisfied.

Renting a facade is the most taboo to rent a "passing house", that is, the landlord or other tenants will come in and out from the facade, which will affect the business.

At noon, Ji Zhongqiu took Wang Zhaoyang over. Wang Zhaoyang looked at the location of the facade, took out a soft ruler to measure the size, and said to Ling Yue, "Xiaoyue, you should make up your mind about this matter."

He just hit soy sauce. From his point of view, no matter which store Ling Yue chooses, he will support her.

With his words, the two went to the landlord to discuss the content of the contract in detail, finalized the area to be used, the date of delivery, the length of the lease, the responsibilities of both parties for breach of contract, and so on.

After everything was confirmed, Wang Zhaoyang rewrote the contract and officially signed it. After paying the rent, the landlord handed over the door key to Ling Yue.

After getting the key, Ling Yue still seemed to be dreaming.

Wang Zhaoyang looked at Ling Yue, who was in the mist, and teased, "Xiaoyue, why do you have such an expression?"

Ling Yue stared at the key in his hand in disbelief, then looked back at the facade, blinked: "Is this the talk?"

Wang Zhaoyang looked at the silly Ling Yue and shook his head, took the key from her hand and shook it: "The key is in your hands, what's the matter with you, this is, why don't we go back?"

"do not!"

Ling Yue snatched the key and put it in his pocket solemnly: "The money has been paid, so don't think about anything."

"Xiao Yue, how much money do we have?"

Ling Yue frowned: "I bought a TV and radio yesterday and spent more than 500 yuan. The business has not been good in the past two days, and I only have 500 yuan in cash."

The other is the 500 yuan in the bank.

Thousands of dollars, let alone decoration, even if you go to Shenzhen or Zhuzhou to buy clothes, you can't get a few pieces.

"Xiaoyue, there is something I want to tell you. I heard from my colleagues that selling tapes is pretty good now. Why don't you sell tapes for a while?"

Ling Yue looked at him like an idiot: "I sell tapes every day, and now I can't sell a few boxes."

"No, we can rent and sell at the same time." Wang Zhaoyang said, "Don't we still have nearly [-] tapes in hand? A deposit of [-] yuan is charged for each tape, and the fee is charged by the day. Although it makes less money, it can be recycled. No need to get new tapes either."

"If the customer damages the tape, we will not lose the deposit."

Ling Yue stared at him with wide eyes, and she said in surprise: "Yes, why didn't I think of this?"

Ling Yue understood what he meant.

He was going to open his own tape rental shop.

This kind of store was indeed very popular in the 80s, and it is also full of memories of the era.

Ten yuan a cassette is still a lot of money for many working families, but it is still acceptable for most people to spend a few cents a day to rent a cassette they like to listen to.

If customers feel that their tapes are too old-fashioned, and then buy some new tapes, the tape rental shop can be opened.

If you still feel that the product is too single, you can also buy some books to fill the appearance.

All kinds of martial arts novels by Mr. Jin Yong and romance novels by Aunt Qiong Yao are very marketable both now and in future generations.

But Ling Yue still has her own ideas.

After she was overjoyed, she said firmly to Wang Zhaoyang: "Your suggestion is very good, but I still want to open a clothing store."

She added: "It's women's clothing."
