Chapter 79 Rent a Shop

Beijing, Guangningbo Street.

"Okay, then I'll ask you one more thing."

"Whatever it is, you can say it."

"I would like to rent some shops in Dashilar, no matter how big or small, it is best along the street."

After Zhao Wenmu finished speaking, Zhao Jing turned to look at him with sparkling eyes.

The silly daughter-in-law probably thought she was going to open a shop in the capital.

Thinking of this, I felt a little guilty.

"Brother Zhao, where do you want to rent a store? It's not very prosperous there now, so there are more stalls, and the store business is not very good!"

Jin Xiaobao said with some worry.

Now many handicraftsmen can open shops, Dashilan Commercial Street can be said to be the earliest commercial street in Beijing, and the flow of people is not bad.

Such as repairing shoes, repairing watches, selling sewing buttons, pruning knives and so on, they still mainly walk around the streets. In fact, the business of opening a shop is not good, and the cost is quite high.

So most of those shops are in a half-dead state.

Zhao Wenmu was very satisfied, Jin Xiaobao didn't care about it just to make money, and he thought about it for him first.

"Xiaobao, don't worry, if you don't make money now, you will make money later."

Jin Xiaobao was skeptical, but seeing Zhao Wenmu's firm attitude, he could only follow suit.

"Little Treasure, I only have [-] yuan on hand. You should find a way to rent as many shops as possible. It is best to only pay one month's rent in advance."

"Then the lease period should be at least one year, the longer the better. It is especially important to emphasize that all parties must sign an agreement, and if they break the contract, they will have to pay three years' rent."

Zhao Wenmu thought about it carefully, and told Jin Xiaobao about the issues that needed to be explained.

"Okay, brother Zhao, I understand. Don't worry, I will write to you within two days."

Jin Xiaobao thought about it for a while, and felt that the problem was not that big, it could be done.

"Okay, after this thing is done, I will give you 100 yuan! I will use your place in the future."

"Okay!"

100 is not a small amount.

Zhao Wenmu told him that if he had any news, he would come to Haidian Guest House to look for him, and Jin Xiaobao didn't delay, and set off directly to Dashilan.

"Little brother, why are you renting so many shops?"

After Jin Xiaobao left, Zhao Jing asked in a low voice.

She is not very worried about the money issue. She will stop accepting mushrooms at the end of this month, and all the working capital can be used to pay the rent by then.

But what kind of business do you want to rent so many shops?

"Sister, the rent of shops in the capital will rise sharply soon."

Zhao Wen Mushen whispered mysteriously.

"How can you pinch and forget?"

Zhao Jing poked his arm.

"That is, I know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom, and I know 500 years before and 500 years after"

Zhao Wenmu talked incessantly.

Zhao Jing burst out laughing.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it!"

Zhao Wenmu said in his heart that astronomy and geography are really not good, but after 40 years, there is no problem.

Too bad no one believed him.

Jin Xiaobao's work efficiency is still very high. In less than three days, things will basically come to fruition.

"Brother Zhao, most of the facade houses on the Dashilan side are relatively small. The minimum rent is 40 yuan, and the most is no more than 300 yuan. I have negotiated with them. I need to deposit one month's rent and pay one month's rent in advance."

He said happily.

"However, the total monthly rent for the facade houses that are willing to rent out is only 6100 yuan."

The goal Zhao Wenmu set for him was 1 monthly rent for all shops, which is still quite a bit short.

Zhao Wenmu is already very satisfied with this result, after all, 1 yuan is not a small sum.

Even in the capital, it is a huge sum of money.

Naturally, it is not so easy to gather enough shops with a monthly rent of 1 in a short period of time.

"Brother Zhao, would you like to rent a few shops in Wangfujing? There are some relatively large facade houses there. I talked with them. The conditions are the same as those in Dashilan."

"Okay, Xiao Jin, you did a good job!"

This is a bit beyond expectations.

This Jin Xiaobao has a future.

The task assigned by the leader can't be completed by Dashilan alone, and he can still use his subjective initiative to find other ways to solve it.

This is the leader's favorite employee, okay?
Able to exert subjective initiative, take the initiative or even exceed the task!

The shops in Wangfujing are naturally no problem, even better than Dashilan!
Zhao Wenmu set off immediately and went door to door with Jin Xiaobao to sign contracts.

He specifically explained to Jin Xiaobao that the rent should be based on the market price, there is no need to lower the price.

At present, there are not many people who are willing to rent front-facing houses. Those who want to rent out houses are still very welcome when they see someone coming to their door.

Zhao Wenmu once again emphasized to them the three-year rent payment for breach of contract.

In fact, according to the regulations of later generations, this clause is not very reasonable, even if it is a lawsuit, it may not necessarily win, and even if it wins, it will be very troublesome to get the money.

There are always many laolai dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water, and the court will not execute the sentence.

But this time is different.

As long as the agreement signed by both parties is not obviously unfair, it can be firmly implemented.

Law enforcement is not as soft as later generations.

Landlords actually welcome this clause. Anyway, I am a renter, so there is no risk of breach of contract at all!
Everyone chatted happily, and Zhao Wenmu signed one rental agreement after another within a day.

One month's deposit and the current month's rent are paid directly on the spot.

The landlord also likes such a straightforward tenant.

At the end of the day, Zhao Wenmu had less than 400 yuan left in his hand!
Zhao Jing carefully put away the thick stack of rental agreements, and recorded the location of each storefront, rent, and the situation of the landlord.

It's great to have such a dedicated secretary!
Zhao Wenmu took out 120 yuan and handed it to Jin Xiaobao.

"Xiao Jin, this is your reward, you did a great job this time!"

It was 20 yuan more than what was agreed at the beginning.

"Brother Zhao, this."

"Take it! This is your reward!"

Zhao Wenmu said with a smile.

"Okay!"

Jin Xiaobao nodded heavily and carefully put away the money.

This is quite a small amount. With this amount of money, I can pay off all the money owed to the neighbors because of my younger sister's illness.

At this moment, he was really grateful to Zhao Wenmu.

"Xiaojin, we are going back to Pingyang County tomorrow. You help me take care of those front houses, just clean them up and make sure they don't get damaged. I'll give you 30 yuan a month."

It has been 7 or 8 days since I came to the capital, and this is not my home after all.

Several people are already a little tired.

Zhao Wenmu decided to go back tomorrow.

Tickets were bought a few days ago.

"Brother Zhao, what are you going to do with these shops? Just leave them like this?"

"Yes, let's leave it at that for now."

As soon as Zhao Wenmu said this, let alone Jin Xiaobao, other people didn't understand why.

Zhao Wenmu stretched out a finger, pointing to the sky.

"Xiao Jin, the sky is about to change, and you will know in a few days."

"At that time, you can help me contact people who want to rent a house. There is only one condition. I will directly charge a year's rent in advance. The price can be 5%-10% cheaper than the market price."

Zhao Wenmu said mysteriously.

Jin Xiaobao didn't know why.

After a while, his face changed drastically.

"Brother Zhao, you don't mean to..."

He didn't say anything after that.

Of course Zhao Wenmu understands what he means, you don't mean to defraud those people of their rent, do you?

After all, Zhao Wenmu only paid one month's rent in advance, but now he plans to collect one year's rent in advance.

"Xiao Jin, of course it's not what you think, you'll know when the time comes, so just wait with peace of mind."

Jin Xiaobao thinks about it too, Zhao Wenmu asked him to rent a house after "something" happened.

Just wait for this mysterious event.

"After talking with the tenant, you just make this call and ask him to pass it on to me."

Zhao Wenmu gave Jin Xiaobao the phone number of Yang Yuping's office.

No way, there is no telephone in Shanqian Village.

The call can only be made to the Zheshan Commune, so it is better to call Yang Yuping directly.

He and Yang Yuping can be regarded as forgetful friends now.

The relationship is strong enough.

After explaining to Jin Xiaobao, Zhao Wenmu and the others went to buy some gadgets.

There is no way, there is no money.

I have less than 300 yuan left on me.

I bought a piece of clothing for Zhao Xuehai and Liu Sufang in a large state-run shopping mall, and the money was even less.

I had no choice but to buy some gadgets and snacks with the characteristics of the capital.

In the end, I kept 50 yuan in cash.

When you go out, you always need some money with you.

Zhao Wenmu didn't expect that when he went out, he carried a huge sum of 20600 yuan, but he only had 50 yuan left when he returned home.

In this era when the maximum denomination of RMB is only 10 yuan, 20600 is definitely a huge sum of money.

Then think of the full luggage when you go out.

It really came with a full load and returned empty-handed.

Zhao Xin also bought some gifts for the Zhao family, and she is now a part of the family.

Zheng Guangming also bought some gifts for his wife and younger sister.

I also bought a very nice little mirror.

A small handle mirror with the Summer Palace on the back.

Seeing how he carefully put the mirror in his arms, Zhao Wenmu asked with a light smile:

"Brother Zheng, which girl is this mirror for?"

Obviously not for his sister Zheng Meiyun.

Who knew that Zheng Guangming's face turned red all of a sudden, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't speak.

It turns out that lonely heroes also have times when they are shy.

Zhao Wenmu and the others couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Zheng, it's not enough to give a girl a mirror. You have to have a comb and skin care products, right? They just happen to be used together."

Zhao Jing said with a smile.

Everyone has been familiar with each other for a long time, and it's okay to make some harmless jokes.

"really?"

Who knew Zheng Guangming asked seriously.

This is really the case!

Zhao Wenmu was also very happy.

Although Zheng Guangming is missing an arm, he is a reliable man with ability, responsibility and good character.

He also thought that after a while, the second sister would be in a better mood, and try to match them up.

Zheng Guangming has no prejudice against the past of the second sister, Zhao Wenmu is very aware of this and appreciates it.

It seems to be out of play.

Zhao Wenmu was still a little bit disappointed.

Zheng Guangming went to the counter again and carefully selected hand cream and soap, wrapped them carefully and put them in his bag.

"Sister, I don't have money to buy you gifts this time."

Zhao Wenmu spread his hands and said to Zhao Jing with a smile.

Zhao Jing looked down at the red string on her right hand.

Zhao Wenmu also has one on his left wrist.

This is from Hongluo Temple, Zhao Wenmu asked for it.

Three lives and three generations, never separated.

Zhao Wenmu tied the red rope around her hand and said softly.

Thinking of this, she smiled brightly at Zhao Wenmu.

"The best gift I've ever had!"
