The Age of Rebirth: Struggle of the Eldest Daughter

Chapter 50 Lease Negotiations
Su Manjin is a person who pays attention to work efficiency.

Regarding the expansion of the sea goods business, she had already drafted it on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

This day, I only finished talking about the plan with Su Jinshun at noon, and the family continued to go to the sea in the afternoon, but she was not idle. She carried a small satchel on her back and walked to Zhangcuo Village.

The longitudinal slope of the highway in Zhangcuo Village is about 100 meters in the direction of Qianlou Village. There are three stores, one of which is open for grocery stores, and the other two are closed.

Su Manjin inquired with the owner of the grocery store, and the owner turned out to be the uncle of his cousin Su Bihui's uncle.

Without delay, Su Manjin walked directly to the three-story building not far away.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

"Here, who is it?"

A man in his 40s came out of the room, wearing a shirt and a suit, with his hair combed back, and he looked like a successful person.

Su Manjin greeted politely: "Uncle, hello, my name is Su Manjin, and I'm from Sujia Village. We saw that the two shops on the side of the road are for rent. Are they yours?"

Zhang Heping looked at the little girl in front of him, and replied with a smile: "Little girl, those are my storefronts, and I plan to rent them out, but you are a little doll, why rent the storefronts?"

"Uncle, it's my family who wants to rent it. My grandfather and father are busy. Let me step on it first. Can you open it for me to see?"

Zhang Heping is also very agile. Although he was puzzled, he didn't say much, and opened the store for Su Manjin.

Su Manjin looked casually. The two stores were connected to each other. There was only a small room in between. There was also a bathroom and a kitchen, which met his needs.

The floor is tiled and the walls are whitewashed. Although the interior decoration can only be regarded as [-]% new, it is basically enough for a small stall.

"Uncle, how much is the rent for your store?"

Zhang Heping didn't think Su Manjin could make a decision, so he replied casually, "The two rooms are rented together, 800 yuan a month."

Su Manjin rolled her eyes in her heart: "Uncle, I came to talk to you because I really wanted to rent, but judging by your quotation, it seems that I don't really want to rent."

"Let's not talk about the clothing store under the longitudinal slope of the highway. The monthly rent of a store is only 250 yuan; the grocery store next door to us only rents 300 yuan a month. How come to me, the price has increased by 25%?"

Zhang Heping did not expect that a ten-year-old doll would know how to do market research. He smiled awkwardly: "Little girl, you also said that this is a quotation. My store rent is uniformly quoted at this price. We can still negotiate." Let's talk."

"That's it. If your family really wants to rent, I'll give you the price next door. The two rooms cost 600 yuan a month."

Su Manjin said slowly: "Uncle, the grocery store next door can't accommodate your size, so the rent for her single room is more expensive. I will rent two rooms for you directly. You should give me a discount." The price is."

"Besides, this store of yours used to be for catering. You can see that the walls are yellow and the kitchen is also greasy. You didn't say to clean it up before releasing it for rent. No wonder I see that these two have been closed for more than a month. Yes, it's still empty."

Zhang Heping is really embarrassed now.
He looked down upon this little girl, but what she said was true.

"Hey, tell me, little girl, how much do you pay to rent these two stores?"

Su Manjin put forward conditions unhurriedly: "Let's rent the two rooms together, the monthly rent is 500 yuan, and you will give me another two months' rent-free period for decoration."

Zhang Heping's eyes widened, "What, you still have a rent-free period for decoration?"

Su Manjin smiled: "Uncle, I'm not talking about you, do you have no idea about the decoration of this house? You are a decoration, a professional, tell me, renovate the floors, ceilings and walls Let alone the materials, how much will the labor cost?"

"How do you know I'm doing decoration?" Zhang Heping couldn't hold back, and blurted out.

Su Manjin didn't answer this question, she continued: "If you are willing to redecorate and deliver it to me now, then it doesn't matter if there is no rent-free period. However, it's the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, so you should go out too."

"Uncle, you are a person who does great things. This store is empty and empty. If you don't rent it out, you will have to continue renting it out when you come back from Qingming Festival. Then you might as well rent it to me now! As soon as we sign the contract, I will immediately rent it out." Pay the deposit and rent, 2000 yuan."

Zhang Heping felt that he had met an opponent, and he was still a little girl in her teens. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. A little girl could talk so well when negotiating, and he couldn't refute it.

Indeed, the previous tenant withdrew the lease at the end of November, and no one wants to rent a house for the New Year at the end of the year.He is preparing to go out these two days, and he also wants to sell these two stores as soon as possible.

"Okay, little girl, when will your family come to see the house?"

Su Manjin smiled and said: "Uncle, I can make a decision. This is the lease contract I drafted in duplicate. Wait a minute. I'll fill in the amount. Do you have any comments?"

Zhang Heping watched blankly as Su Manjin took out two pieces of paper from his small satchel, scribbled on the table left by the former tenant, and handed it to him—"Housing Lease Contract".

It's really rare, it's fine for the little baby to rent a house, and he also brought a lease contract with him.
The key has to be admitted, that word is pretty good :)

Su Manjin ignored Zhang Heping's surprised expression, she took out the inkpad she carried in her satchel and put it on the table.

Zhang Heping: Accepted.

I feel that as the landlord of this storefront, I don't have room for myself.
After the two signed and stamped their fingerprints, Su Manjin put away one of the contracts, took out 2000 yuan from her bag and handed it to Zhang Heping. "Uncle, please write down the receipt."

Su Manjin got the rent and deposit receipt, took the store key, locked the door, and said goodbye to Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping stood at the door of the store, and he didn't come to his senses until Su Manjin and everyone else had gone away.

The storefront that had been vacant for almost two months was finally rented out.He put the money in his pocket and walked home.

Su Manjin didn't go home directly. She walked towards Qianlou Village, thinking along the way whether she should invite Su Xusheng's mother to the store to help.

Grandparents are getting older, and they can't be so tired all the time.

My aunt is pregnant again, so it's okay to ask her to keep accounts and manage the store, but she can't do the follow-up heavy work.

Mom is busy with the business of the grocery store, grandma has to take care of my uncle, and the family has to help mom as much as possible.

Dad has to catch the sea and deliver the goods again.

Doing the math, I'm really too busy.

Su Manjin arrived in a while, and Su Xusheng was washing vegetables in the yard.As soon as he heard the girl's voice, he dropped the vegetable leaves and ran to the door.

"Su Xiaoman, you are here!" The boy showed a big smile.
