Chapter 362 Shop
Lin Chao was a little confused. He obviously didn't expect Zhang Qiyuan to suddenly lose his temper. He quickly shouted to the back: "Brother Jian!"
"What's wrong?" At this time, a man in his twenties, thin and wearing glasses walked out from behind.
"Brother Jian, this handsome guy wants to rent a shop here. You are familiar with the shops here, so can you help me guide him?" Lin Chao said.
Hu Jian nodded, looked at Zhang Qiyuan, and asked with a smile: "Hello, what's your name?"
"No need to mention your surname Zhang!"
"Is it Gong Chang Zhang?"
"Yes."
"My last name is Hu, you can call me Xiao Hu," said Hu Jian.
Zhang Qiyuan nodded.
"What kind of business do you plan to do in the shop you rent?" Hu Jian asked.
"I want to open a small convenience store. Do you have any recommendations?" Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile.
"Yes, please wait a moment, I will get the key."
As he spoke, Hu Jian entered the store, took the key, and went out with Zhang Qiyuan, followed closely by Lin Chao.
Zhang Qiyuan followed Hu Jian and soon came to a shop in the corner. Zhang Qiyuan took a look and found it was an unfinished shop with a small door front, only about three meters wide. There was a note on the door saying "Shop for Rent". However, since the agent had the key, the phone number on the note must be the agent's.
"Mr. Zhang, the shop has a total area of 96 square meters, with two floors. You can take a look." Hu Jian unlocked the door and pushed open the door.
Zhang Qiyuan walked into the shop and took a look. He just glanced at it and lost interest. The main reason was that this shop was located next to the side and usually no one came here. Opening an agency store here was simply courting death.
"I want to open a convenience store. Isn't renting this shop a death sentence?" Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Although the location is a bit bad, we can get the tobacco license. For other shops, the tobacco protection distance is not enough. Moreover, this shop is cheaper, with an area of 96 square meters and a rent of only 7,000 yuan." Hu Jian said.
Zhang Qiyuan glanced at Hu Jian and could tell that this man knew a little about commercial leasing. But even if he could get a tobacco license, it would be useless if no one came to consume.
"This place is only suitable for foot washing and massage business, it's not suitable for a convenience store."
"You're right," Hu Jian agreed.
"Is there a shop closer to the community gate? It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher." Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"Yes, there are, but the owners have high expectations and the prices are very high." Hu Jian said after a moment of hesitation.
"How expensive is it?"
"The owner wants to rent it for 210 square meters."
"The price is indeed a bit high. Let's go and take a look." Zhang Qiyuan thought for a while and said.
"Ok."
Soon, Hu Jian brought Zhang Qiyuan to a shop near the gate of the community.
"This shop is a single-story shop with a total area of 120 square meters. The owner's desired price is two hundred and one square meter." Hu Jian took out the key and opened the shop door.
Zhang Qiyuan went in and took a look. The shop was square and it was indeed a good shop, but the price of 200 yuan per square meter was a bit exaggerated. If it was 120 square meters, the monthly rent would be 24000 yuan. It was a question whether their agency could earn yuan a month.
Logically speaking, this shop is more suitable for a supermarket or convenience store, but he saw that there was a convenience store next to this shop. He probably chose the shop next door because he failed to negotiate the rent for this shop.
"Can't we negotiate the rent for this shop?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
Hu Jian smiled bitterly and said, "This owner is not short of money, and the location is so good, so he would rather keep it here than rent it out."
Zhang Qiyuan frowned. A shop like this is more suitable for stores like Hema Fresh or Zhongbai Lawson. If it is used to open an agency, it may not be able to make a profit.
"Are there any other shops?" "Then we can only look at the shops in Phase 3 of Golden Land City across the street." Hu Jian pointed to the opposite side of the auxiliary road.
"Then go to the other side and have a look."
Hu Jian took Zhang Qiyuan to the third phase of Jindi City opposite, and Lin Chao still followed closely behind.
"I heard that the government has recently issued a series of policies, and the real estate market has picked up again. How are the house sales here?" Zhang Qiyuan asked indirectly as they walked.
"The current market conditions are indeed much better than before, but how can I put it? There are more people than porridge. It mainly depends on how diligent the brokers are. Some of them place orders every day, while others do not place orders for two or three months. It is also normal." Hu Jian said very talkatively.
"I heard that your family seems to have joined Shell. You should be making more money, right?"
"It's about the same. Before Shijia joined Beike, we basically made money from both sides and sold our own houses. Now that we have joined Beike, although we can charge a little more in agency fees, the performance has to be shared out, so it's almost the same as before, and we can't make much money." Hu Jian glanced at Zhang Qiyuan and said.
Zhang Qiyuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Soon Hu Jian took him to a shop.
"This shop used to sell baby products, but the market was bad and it closed down. It's not rented out yet, but many customers have asked about it. If you want to rent it, you may have to do it as soon as possible."
After Hu Jian finished speaking, he turned to Lin Chao and said, "Go to De Zuo next door and borrow the key."
Lin Chao nodded, then trotted to the nearby Dezo Real Estate to borrow the key.
Soon, Lin Chao ran over with the key and opened the door.
Zhang Qiyuan walked in and saw that the place was over 60 square meters. If it was to be an agency store, it would definitely be a bit small, but it would be OK if you squeezed in. Moreover, there were four agencies in this area, which meant that the houses here should be relatively easy to sell.
"How much is the rent for this shop?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"12000!"
"The rent for this shop is also two hundred per square meter?" Zhang Qiyuan was shocked.
"We can talk about it." Hu Jian said quickly.
"How much can we talk about?"
"This is something you'll have to discuss with the landlord."
"Then how do you charge the agency fee?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"For this kind of commercial lease, we basically charge one month's rent," Hu Jian said seriously.
It's so dark!
Zhang Qiyuan couldn't help but glance at Hu Jian, thinking that he was a newbie.
Although commercial leasing does charge one month's rent as a brokerage fee, in the Seoul market, it is almost impossible to find a client and collect a full month's rent.
It turns out that things are different after joining the Bei system.
"Can't the agency fee be cheaper?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"You also know that our family has now joined the Bei family, so this agency fee is inevitable."
"Really? In that case, let's do it this way for now. I'll go back and think about it." Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, I'll add you on WeChat. If you want to rent a house, you can contact me at any time." Hu Jian said.
"Okay! I'll sweep you."
Zhang Qiyuan nodded, then took out his cell phone and added Hu Jian’s WeChat.
"Then I'll go first."
