Chapter 363 Wan Zhengxiao
After Hu Jian and Lin Chao left, Zhang Qiyuan returned to find the people from Aijia Real Estate to learn more about the shop. He learned from them that although the landlord asked for 12000 yuan, he should be able to negotiate it down to yuan. In addition, the people from Aijia Real Estate also emphasized that they would only charge an agency fee of half a month's rent.
In response to this, Zhang Qiyuan did not make any statement. He added his agent’s WeChat and then went back.
Of the three shops he looked at, he directly rejected the first double-decker shop in a corner. As for the 120-square-meter shop, he was a little hesitant. He wanted to rent it out and then rent out some of the space. After all, although the shop only cost 200 yuan per square meter, its location was indeed very good. If things didn't work out, he might as well start a side business.
As for the third shop, what can I say? It's a bit small, the location is average, and the price is not cheap.
Fortunately, there is no rush to take over the shop now. He needs to poach the people first.
In the next few days, Hu Jian and an agent named Huang Tao from Aijia Real Estate kept sending him messages, which was quite dedicated.
From the conversation, Zhang Qiyuan also got a lot of information. Hu Jian had worked in Shijia Real Estate for more than two years. He had no basic salary and a commission of 70%. In the Bei system, their Shijia Real Estate did not have an easy time. In the eyes of Seoul people, Shijia was just a small local agency with a very low agency fee. Suddenly, when it joined Beike, the agency fee increased to . Customers were more willing to go to the old brands Lianjia and Dezo, so their days were not easy either.
After hearing what Hu Jian said, Zhang Qiyuan was very confident that he could poach Hu Jian, but it was useless to tell Hu Jian this now because he had not yet decided on the shop.
Later he drove to Golden Land City for a spin. There were quite a lot of business types there, including supermarkets, pharmacies, swimming and fitness centers, fruit stores, health clubs, tea houses, pedicure rooms, and self-service billiard and chess rooms. There were music stores, Starbucks, children's sports centers, Hamburgers, and Mr. Rice near the road. The business types were quite rich, but Zhang Qiyuan took a look and found that there seemed to be few breakfasts. Apart from a few noodle shops, there was no steamed bun shop.
He even wanted to call his parents over to open a bun shop.
But his parents said they would retire in one year, so he didn't want to ask them to come over.
After thinking about it, Zhang Qiyuan called Hu Jin.
"Hu Jin, I remember Wan Zhengxiao from our village seemed to be selling buns in Seoul? Do you know where he is now?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"Xiaoxiao? I remember he said before that it seemed to be near China Resources Land Future Shangcheng near Gedian South Station."
Zhang Qiyuan was stunned. He remembered that Xiong Wei seemed to have bought a house over there, a top floor. He bought it at the peak of the market for a little over ten thousand. Now it has probably been halved.
"I remember he always complained that his mother kept all the money he earned, and he always wanted to go out and work on his own, right?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"Yes, his mother is really stingy with him. He has a girlfriend now, and when she asks his mother for money, she is unwilling to give it to him, saying that she is afraid that he will spend it recklessly," said Hu Jin.
"Well, you contact him. I have a shop here and I want to open a bun shop. He doesn't have to pay for the rent or equipment. As long as he is willing to come, I will give him 30% of the shares and he will be responsible for the management." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Ah? I don't know if he's willing. He's with his parents now. If his parents don't agree, I don't think it will work."
"Why don't you make a phone call and ask first?" Zhang Qiyuan said.
Wan Zhengxiao is the same age as Hu Jin. His father is a very honest man, but his mother is someone who is disliked by everyone in the village.
"I can't explain this clearly. How about I give you his contact information and you can contact him yourself?" Hu Jin said.
"Okay, send me his phone number." Zhang Qiyuan said.
Soon, Hu Jin sent Wan Zhengxiao's number.
Zhang Qiyuan thought about it and called Wan Zhengxiao.
"Hello, who is this?" Wan Zhengxiao's voice came from the other end of the line.
"It's me, Zhang Qiyuan." "Oh, Brother Qiyuan." Wan Zhengxiao said hurriedly.
"I heard from Hu Jin that you are selling buns in Gedian now. How is business?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"That's it. Business is not very good. Sometimes we open, and sometimes we close." Wan Zheng said with a smile.
"There are not many people over at Gedian, so it's normal that business is not good. The thing is, I want to rent a storefront, but the area is too big, so I want to open a bun shop next to it. However, I don't know how to do that, and I remembered that you seem to be doing this, so how about this, I rent the storefront and use some area to open a bun shop, and I'll pay for the rent, water, electricity, and equipment, and you come to help run the business, and I'll give you 30% of the shares." Zhang Qiyuan said straight to the point.
"Well...my mother will definitely not let me do it alone...and I can't do it well by myself..." Wan Zhengxiao said with some excitement.
Zhang Qiyuan was in a dilemma. To be honest, if only Wan Zhengxiao came here, he really couldn't run a bun shop. He would definitely have to hire people, but the cost of opening a shop would be higher. But if he brought Wan Zhengxiao's whole family here, given his personality, he would probably be a bit troublesome.
But he really wanted that shop more, and he had to be sure before he could take it, otherwise it would be difficult to decorate it.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Qiyuan said, "How about this. It just so happens that your shop is not doing well now. You can tell your parents that I have a shop here. I will cover the rent, water, electricity, and raw materials. Let your family come over and I will give you 50% of the dividends. But I will give you the money at that time. See if your parents agree. If they agree, give me a reply."
"Okay, Brother Qi Yuan!"
"Well, that's it. I'll wait for your reply." Zhang Qiyuan said.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qiyuan thought for a moment. If Wan Zhengxiao agreed, he could poach Hu Jian. With his help, and a few new people, he should be able to keep the store going.
He also recently looked at some houses in Golden Land City on Beike. The price is around 16000. Basically, they will be completed two years after the Chinese New Year. This period of time is more suitable for him to open a store. Once the houses here are completed two years, the transaction volume should increase, and the price may even go up a little. After all, they are houses that are completed two years, so there is less value-added tax.
Just as he was waiting for Wan Zhengxiao's reply, his father Zhang Yaochang called him.
"Son, I heard from Wanhong that you asked his son to open a bun shop?" Zhang Yaochang asked.
"Uh... Did Xiaoxiao's dad call you?"
"Nonsense, I don't know your situation, so I must call you to ask." Zhang Yaochang said unhappily.
"Yes, I'm planning to open a branch, but the shop is a bit big, so I want to sublet some of it. But I have to make sure there is someone who can sublet it before I can take over the shop. Otherwise, the rent of this shop will be a bit stressful for me. And it just so happened that I was thinking that Xiaoxiao sells buns here, so I wanted to use some area of this shop to make buns, let their family come and run it, and then I can give them 50% of the shares." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Xiaoxiao's mother is not someone who is easy to get along with. Don't let anything go wrong and we won't be able to sort it out."
"I have a headache too, but there's nothing I can do. I can only look for Xiaoxiao. If that doesn't work, can you and mom come over?" Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Don't count on us. We will work for a year next year and then retire when your sister graduates from junior high school." Zhang Yaochang said with a smile.
"What do Uncle Wan and his family think?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"They still prefer to come, but the money has to be given to his mother."
"That won't work. With his mother's personality, I don't think she would give the money to Xiaoxiao. She would save it all for her youngest son. If she wants to come over, she must give the money to Xiaoxiao. Besides, Xiaoxiao is an honest person, so I feel more at ease." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"You have to figure it out yourself."
