Chapter 78 Rent, haggle

"Zhou Chen, I heard your request from my aunt before, so we found a facade. There are three floors in total, and each floor has more than 200 square meters. I don't know if you think it is enough? Also, this facade It used to be a restaurant, but for various reasons, it closed down, but the location is still good.”

Su Qing in the back row took the initiative to raise the topic and asked Zhou Chen.

When Zhou Chen heard that there were three floors, and each floor was more than 200 square meters, he nodded immediately. As for what he did before and why it closed down, he didn't care, because he didn't believe in that.

"It should be enough, I'm really bothering you, Aunt Xue and Sister Su Qing, I'm so sorry for bothering you the first time we met."

"Hehehe."

Xue Sumei said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, if you say this, you will be seen outside. Auntie is a person who is willing to help others. It's not a problem to find a face."

"Amazing, Aunt Xue is still yours. To tell you the truth, I have searched many places for this facade before, but I couldn't find a suitable one. Auntie, you just made a move and found such a place in just a few days. It's amazing."

Zhou Chen gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised.

"That's right, Xiao Zhou, leave this to your aunt, and I'll have to do it for you." Xue Sumei laughed.

"I should have known you earlier, otherwise, why would I have to take so many detours."

"Xiao Zhou, it's not that my aunt is bragging to you. My aunt used to be an actor and knows a lot of people. Don't you want to open a wedding dress shop? Auntie also knows a little bit about makeup and photography."

"Really? Auntie, you're an actor? No wonder you have such a good temperament. It was because I was clumsy before, so I'll just say, why is Miss Starfruit's temperament so good? It's your genetic Auntie."

Xue Sumei said proudly: "That is, Xiao Zhou, let me tell you, my peach, I have cultivated her since she was a child. As a girl, you can ignore the rest, but the temperament must be cultivated from an early age, as well as the figure and appearance. , which is not inherited from me."

"Well, Auntie, you have such a good temperament, and how beautiful you are. You must have been the protagonist when you were young, right?"

"That's for sure, Xiao Zhou, you may not know, I used to be the heroine in our group, and there was a girl in our group who always wanted to fight with me, but it was useless after so many years. , as long as she is on stage, then I must be the A corner, and she can only be the B corner."

"awesome."

…………

Looking at Auntie and Zhou Chen, one was bragging, the other was complimenting, and the chat was in full swing. Su Qing on the side couldn't help but turn his head away and couldn't bear to look directly.

Su Qing knew her aunt's character very well, but she never expected that Zhou Chen would cooperate and compliment her so much.

There is no unreasonable closeness in the world, so after ruling out Zhou Chen as a liar, she understood that the reason why Zhou Chen cooperated so much must be to pursue her cousin star fruit.

Under Su Qing's command, Zhou Chen quickly came to a street and stopped in the middle.

"Xiao Zhou, we have asked the landlord to come over. You can take a look later. If you are satisfied, you can talk to her directly."

"Okay, thank you so much, Aunt Xue, Sister Su Qing."

When he came to the facade and saw the landlord, Zhou Chen's expression became serious. When chatting with Xue Sumei, he could lower his attitude, but renting an apartment must be taken seriously.

The landlord is a more than 40-year-old woman, with a fat body, and she looks like a charter wife.

Su Qing is right, this facade is really good, there are three floors in total, the first floor is about more than 200 square meters, the second floor is about the same, but the third floor is a bit bigger, more than 300 square meters, The overall area is not small, enough to open a wedding dress shop.

And this location is also good. It is located in the middle of the street. There are many neighborhoods around. If you put up a sign, it should be very conspicuous.

"Xiao Zhou, what do you think of the house, eldest sister?"

After walking around, the landlord said to Zhou Chen, "Sister Xue told me about your situation. If you want to open a wedding dress shop, my house is absolutely suitable."

Zhou Chen didn't answer immediately, but stood by the window and looked left and right.

"The location is not bad, but the house is a bit old. I just checked it outside. In some places, the wall skin has fallen off, and there are a lot of pillars inside. It is very troublesome to decorate, and there are cracks in many places. I If you rent it, you have to renovate it from beginning to end. This is a big project. There is also a problem with the location of the gate. The design of the stairs is unreasonable. There is also the third floor. …”

Zhou Chen inherited his professional architectural design ability in the first world. If he wants to find a problem, he can easily and continuously point out the problems here and there.

The landlord's eldest sister was originally full of enthusiastic smiles, but as Zhou Chen continued to narrate, the smile gradually subsided.

Not to mention the landlord's eldest sister, even Xue Sumei and Su Qing stared at it after listening to it. They had seen this house before. In their opinion, this facade room is not bad. After a lap, so many questions were picked out.

"Xiao Zhou, what exactly do you do?" the landlord couldn't help asking.

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Sister, don't take offense, I am a picky person, I want to choose good things, I want to rent a house, you want to rent it to me, then we are doing business, if you have any questions, you have to ask them. right?"

The landlord's eldest sister: "Young man, I'm a renter, you tell me this, I don't understand, all I know is that my house is located in a good location and the area is large enough. Besides you, there are several people who are interested in my house. ."

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Shopping around, I can understand that although your house has many problems, it can be improved from the later decoration, but in that case, I will have to bear more risks and spend more money. More renovation costs.”

"Understood. After talking for a long time, I just wanted to haggle. I should have said it earlier."

The landlady's eldest sister looks like you are rambling.

Zhou Chen was not embarrassed, and asked along the way: "Sis is so straightforward, then I won't be around, I don't know how big sister is going to rent, starting in March, half a year, or a year?"

The landlord's eldest sister said, "Of course it's an annual rent, Xiao Zhou, I think you're a good person. How's the number?"

After speaking, he raised one hand, opened all five fingers, and then slowly retracted two fingers.

Xue Sumei and Su Qing were a little confused, but Zhou Chen smiled: "Eldest sister, are you kidding me?"

The landlord's eldest sister: "No kidding, this is the number. The recent housing market is this price. If you find an intermediary, it will definitely be higher than this. Since you think what I said is high, then you can say the number."

The same action, the same five fingers spread, but the face of the landlord's eldest sister changed instantly: "Xiao Zhou, are you all right? You can go to the remote suburbs to see this number."

Zhou Chen didn't get angry, shrugged, and said, "Eldest sister, you were the one joking with me first. You said your price, and I said mine. If it's not suitable, you can continue to talk."

"You're such a ruthless young man. How can you bargain like this? It's already ruthless for others to cut in half. You just cut half of it for me."

"The price is all negotiated. The main reason is that your house has too many problems. Except for the location, if I rent it, I have to renovate it from the inside to the outside. This is not a small amount of money."

The landlord eldest sister thought for a while: "Then I will take a step back and give you twenty."

"It's still too expensive, eldest sister. If your house is located in the city center, I will pay without saying a word, but this location and this house are very different."

"Xiao Zhou, don't fool the eldest sister. At this price, you still want to rent the eldest sister's house in the city center? It's not enough to double it."

"Eldest sister, I have seen a lot of houses, and I know what the price is. Big sister, please report a sincere price, otherwise, there is really no need to negotiate."

"There is really no way to lower it. With the current market price, my house adds up to more than 800 square meters, which can catch up with the first floor of a commercial building. My eldest sister will give you a reduction of ten at most."

Zhou Chen shook his head, renting such a place for more than 200 million, unless his mind is broken, it's not a bustling commercial street, and it's not the city center, it's barely around the Fifth Ring Road.

What's more, the facade is not calculated like this. The facade on the first floor is the facade, but the second floor and the third floor are not strictly speaking the facade. The prices of the second and third floors are very different from those of the first floor. .

This charter lady is really ruthless. She paid 3 million when she came up. I really thought that 3 million was blown by the strong wind. With this money, I can now go to the city center to pay a down payment for a house.

"1 million, big sister, this is already the limit I can accept."

"Young man, don't you want the life of the eldest sister? 1 million is not enough for the cost. No, no, this price is absolutely not acceptable."

Xue Sumei watched Zhou Chen negotiate the price with the landlord, and was about to go over to help, but Su Qing grabbed her and shook her head at her.

Zhou Chen continued: "Eldest sister, I think your house has been vacant for a long time. If the facade is empty for a day, it is a loss of money, and I rented all three floors of you all at once, which can save you a lot of trouble. , I think it's not many to rent three floors at once like me. If you rent this house separately, you might not be able to rent it for this price."

The landlord's face was constantly changing, because Zhou Chen was right, her house was good, but most of the people who came to see were only willing to rent the first floor, and were unwilling to add the second and third floors. The renter, she knew very well that the second and third floors would be worthless if they were rented separately, so she did not rent them out for a long time.

There are people who want to rent three floors, but the price has been negotiated many times, and the other party is not willing to pay all at once and wants to pay in installments, which makes her unacceptable.

"No, no, 1 million is too low. A place as big as mine is only tens of thousands of yuan a month at this price, which is too low."

"Sister, you can't think like that. You have left the house for so long, and all you have lost is money. If you rent it to me, I can pay it off at one time, and I can sign with you for a few more years. In this way, you You won’t have to worry about renting for the next few years.”

The landlord's eldest sister: "Xiao Zhou, do you think the eldest sister is stupid? The rent is increasing every year, and the price is one a year. If I sign with you for a few more years, wouldn't I be even more at a loss? Would you like to add a hundred more?"

Zhou Chen said: "Eldest sister, I really can only offer this price. You also know that I want to open a store here. This is definitely not a matter of one or two years. It must be rented for a long time. In the short term, you may lose some points. , but in the long run, it's definitely not a loss."

"This?"

The landlord's eldest sister suddenly hesitated. As an old renter, she is very aware of the importance of a long-term tenant, but she still can't make up her mind at this price.

Seeing the hesitation of the landlord's eldest sister, Zhou Chen took out a business card, "Eldest sister, since we can't convince many parties, let's all take some time to think about it, this is my business card, with my phone number on it, if you have any questions , you can contact me directly."

The landlord elder sister took the business card and also gave Zhou Chen a business card.

…………

Zhou Chen left with Xue Sumei and Su Qing.

"Xiao Zhou, are you not satisfied with the house?"

Without the landlord, Xue Sumei didn't have to worry so much, and asked Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "The house is okay, but the price is a bit expensive, but this is to be expected. It is normal to sit on the ground and start the price. It's not a business that is rushing, so wait a few days before talking about it."

Xue Sumei: "Oh, it's the rent problem, but it's almost 3 million a year, which is really scary. If you can't make a few million a year, you will die at a loss."

Their family is an ordinary family, millions of millions, her heart can't stand it.

Su Qing said, "I see that the landlord's eldest sister seems a little moved."

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "That house should have been vacant for a while, and there must have been a lot of people looking at it, but she hasn't rented it out yet, she must be in a hurry, no matter how good the house is, it's useless if you can't rent it out, I Although the price given is not high, I can rent for a few more years at once, and I still pay it in one lump sum every year. It is natural for her to be excited. After all, it is a seamless lease renewal, which is more convenient and cost-effective than changing the lease for half a year and a year. many."

Xue Sumei gave a thumbs up: "Xiao Zhou, you are very talented at a young age."

"No, no."

Zhou Chen's face is full of modesty. In the last world, he had seen a lot of houses. With some experience, he would cut the price harder. This is not a skill.

Xue Sumei asked with a smile, "Xiao Zhou, are you free tomorrow? Our Taozi will be off tomorrow. If you are free, can we arrange for you to meet?"

"Auntie, I have time."

"Okay, let's say it, you choose a place tomorrow, and I'll let our peach go there."

"No problem, Auntie."
