Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 141 Rent a Shop

In the future time and space, there are no loaches or eels for sale. Luo Cheng also wanted to relax and take a nap, so he didn't set the alarm clock.

But my face felt soft, and there was something on my face and mouth.

Opening his eyes, he found that he had been woken up by milk. Liu Xiaofei was naughty again. Usually when setting up a stall, Luo Cheng would ask her to get up. Now that she was resting, she actually got up earlier than him. But when I looked at the time on my phone, it wasn't too early, it was seven o'clock.

Liu Xiaofei was promised to go shopping in the afternoon. It would be more comfortable to sleep a little longer at home in the morning.

"Get up in the morning and play it dark."

"No, I'll watch the video."

"Ok."

Luo Cheng was a little confused about the game of pairing, so when he saw that it was early, he called Liu Xiaofei to play pairing. Now his skills are pretty good and he can play well in low-end games. Since Liu Xiaofei wants to watch videos and play, it’s okay to play a game by herself.

Liu Xiaofei lay on Luo Cheng's chest, moved her phone to a software, and then some videos that needed to be harmonized came out. When Luo Cheng saw this, it seemed that games weren't that fun anymore. It wasn't difficult to choose whether to play games or play with his girlfriend.

"You promised me to go shopping with you today and give you a reward in advance. What do you want me to do?"

After hearing this reward, Luo Cheng felt a little lacking in knowledge. He wanted to watch the video together first and see what he was interested in, and then see if Liu Xiaofei could agree.

While the two of them were lying together watching the video, Luo Cheng felt that many of the contents were too exaggerated. Watching such a video, his emotions were shattered. There were even many things that appeared, which made Luo Cheng feel a little nauseous.

But Liu Xiaofei watched it with gusto, and Luo Cheng felt that if he watched it too much, some aspects of human nature would collapse. Liu Xiaofei was asked to delete such software directly, otherwise she would not go to the mall this afternoon.

It seemed that Luo Cheng was serious. If this was not deleted, it would feel like Luo Cheng was not simply not going to the mall with her. She watched this video purely out of curiosity, but she had to say that after watching it too much and getting used to it, her thoughts would indeed become a little distorted. When she first watched it, she seemed to find a lot of the content off-putting, but now she is watching it with gusto and wants to try some of the content.

Judging from Luo Cheng's current reaction, Liu Xiaofei deleted that one reluctantly. But I also feel that I have found a treasure. Luo Cheng at least seems to be very conservative in this aspect and will not mess around.

After deleting the video software, Liu Xiaofei seemed to comfort Luo Cheng and got into the quilt to serve him.

Originally, Luo Cheng planned to lie in bed all morning, play games and watch TV shows. But at around nine o'clock, the butcher boss of the old street pork shop called Luo Cheng. He found out what Luo Cheng asked him to pay attention to. There were shops for rent on the old street, but the shops there were not those on the old street. For market management, you have to contact the individual landlord.

So there is no restriction on what you can sell in competition with the same industry. If the store is managed and rented by the management party, they may protect the same type of industry in order to get a higher rent. For example, some merchants take the initiative to ask that they be the only ones selling certain types of things on this street, and are willing to pay higher rents.

Or it may be the promise of investment that as long as some industries come in first, they will no longer recruit the same industry later.

As for the old street, there was a lively old street first, but because besides the old street, there were many street vendors, it was too messy. Later, there was market management, so I thought that in order to operate a store here, I would have to find a landlord with a vacant store. If you want to set up a street stall in an old street, you should find a market manager.

There is a breakfast store in the middle of the old street that is no longer open. This breakfast store is not as good as the one at the intersection. In fact, other industries also have good intersection locations, but selling breakfast requires an intersection location more.

Luo Cheng rushed to the old street. There were not many people buying breakfast at this time. The butcher seller took Luo Cheng directly to the breakfast seller to talk about changing the store.

There is actually nothing to discuss about the store rent, because the boss is planning to change the store soon, and he has also told the landlord about this, and he has agreed to it.

As long as someone takes over the store, the landlord can come over and sign a new lease contract. The person who sells breakfast here mainly wants a transfer fee, and he also paid a transfer fee with others when he took over. The transfer fee is [-] yuan, including everything left in the store. If someone who started early takes over, some savings will be made. In other industries, some things are useless if they are not used. However, the butcher's boss told Luo Cheng that the transfer fee was not expensive, and they also gave him some face, so it was only [-].

That is to say, the real economy has not been doing well in the past few years. Otherwise, the transfer fee for a shop in the old street here would have been [-] to [-] yuan for nothing. Now the breakfast store has refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, steam ovens and various breakfast gadgets, and there are actually several bags of flour. For those who want to do it early, the transfer fee is really nothing.

Moreover, people who sell breakfast now do not just deal with it at a loss, but because they earn too little. Those who sell breakfast have to get up at three or four in the morning to work every day, while those who sell breakfast here basically sell it all day long. Yes, when there are few people, we have to make steamed buns and various other things.

How should I put it, it is actually more tiring than working. Apart from expenses and water and electricity, business is better when school starts, and I can earn about [-] yuan a month. This is not the beginning of school, and business is much worse, but I still have an income of [-] to [-] yuan. It's just that it's a breakfast shop opened by a couple. The two of them earn [-] to [-] yuan a year, and they work very hard. This means that they are reluctant to spend money. If they spend more money, they will not be able to save much money when they return to their hometown during the New Year.

Luo Cheng looked at the store for a long time. The store was of good size and located in the middle, which was okay. If he sells loaches and eels, he doesn't need to be at the intersection. This is my first time dealing with things that are traded in units of tens of thousands, so even if it seems reasonable, I have to think more about it. Also, the rent here is [-] a month, which is [-] a year. However, you can pay it once a month, but the deposit also needs to be paid for one month.

This also means that we have to take over this store with a shabby appearance. Almost all the stores on the old street have that old look. It costs [-] yuan to go in without doing anything.

Luo Cheng had saved tens of thousands of dollars in cash from working at a construction site, and Liu Xiaofei had a lot of money, but he spent more than ten thousand dollars to buy a mobile phone. At that time, he knew that buying a mobile phone would cost more than ten thousand dollars. Luo Cheng He was reluctant to part with it, but Liu Xiaofei insisted on choosing this brand for him. One was to support domestic products, and the other was to save face. It would be a great honor to use this.

Faced with [-] yuan to build a facade, Luo Cheng asked his boss to wait for him for a day and give him an answer tomorrow at the latest. Director Luo Cheng is not a procrastinator. He originally asked the butcher shop owner to help keep an eye on the store because he had a need. As long as the cost of [-] yuan is reasonable, there is basically no problem.

After meeting the butcher and breakfast boss, Luo Cheng went home. Luo Cheng knew how much money Liu Xiaofei still had. When there were large eels in the past, he would send the eels weighing several dozen kilograms to the owner of a private kitchen and get a few thousand. He usually sold eels and loaches at the gate of the community, and he would sell several thousand eels a day. . In addition to the fact that she had sold some turtles before, even if the money for the mobile phone was deducted, she still had more than thirty thousand yuan.

"Luo Cheng, you're back. What did the butcher boss want from you just now? He's been out for so long."

"A few days ago, I asked him to help me keep an eye on the shops on the old street. If there is news today, I will be notified to check it out."

"You want to rent a shop? Okay, how's the deal going?"

Liu Xiaofei was very happy when she heard that she wanted to rent a shop. It would be great to have her own shop. She doesn't have to sell at the gate of the community like now, directly facing the sun. And the street stall proprietress sounds too cool. Only when you have a shop can you brag about being the proprietress.

"You have to pay [-] yuan for the transfer fee plus deposit and one month's rent. I think it's okay. It's an early shop over there and everything is left behind. Although it's useless, it's better than nothing."

"What, it costs [-] yuan, and there is a transfer fee. Luo Cheng, I feel that the sales at the gate of the community are quite good, and there are not enough goods to sell. Otherwise, let's not rent the store first. Besides, I have money here. Don’t you still have the payment from your friend?”

"With the facade, I can ask my friends to supply more goods. I still have more than [-] in cash, which should be enough. If I supply more goods in the future, I can earn it back in a few days."

"Really? If you have a good reputation, your friends will give you more goods?

"Well, the goods will be delivered the day after tomorrow. If there is a storefront and a place to store them, a lot will be delivered the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, let's get started. Let's fight to make money selling eels."

"Yeah, Stud."

Luo Cheng followed and said that in fact, he didn't understand what stud meant at all and would check it out secretly later. If you analyze it just from the pronunciation, it feels a bit like the idiom used by a little devil. The little devil is always saying "ha" and "haha". If the tone of saying this word changes again, for example, imitating the tone of the little devil saying "baga" and saying "stud", it will be a bit like the little devil's language.

The way to make Liu Xiaofei take out the money she put into her pocket is very simple, that is, to make her feel that she can earn more money. When she heard that with a new storefront, she could sell more goods, she didn't hesitate any longer. She knows very well how easy it is to sell eel now. Of course, this may also have something to do with the selling price. Just like if beef is sold at the same price as pork, it will also be easy to sell.
