Beijing, Guangningbo Street.

"Okay, then let me ask you a favor."

"Whatever happens, you can just say it."

"I want to rent some shops in Dashilan, no matter how big or small, the best ones are along the street."

After Zhao Wenmu finished speaking, he saw Zhao Jing turning to look at him with bright eyes.

The silly wife probably thought she was going to open a store in Beijing.

Thinking of this, I felt a little guilty.

"Brother Zhao, do you want to rent a shop in that area? The business there is not very prosperous right now. There are only a lot of stalls, but the business of the shops is not very good!"

Jin Xiaobao said with some worry.

Nowadays, 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.

For example, repairing shoes, repairing watches, selling sewing buttons, pruning knives, etc., are still mainly done in the streets. Opening a shop is actually not a good business, and the cost is much higher.

So most of those shops are in a state of limbo.

Zhao Wenmu was very satisfied that Jin Xiaobao did not ignore it just to make money, but helped him consider it first.

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

Jin Xiaobao was hesitant, but seeing Zhao Wenmu's firm attitude, he naturally had no choice but to comply.

"Xiaobao, I only have 20,000 yuan on hand. You can 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, and the longer the better. It is particularly important to emphasize that all parties must sign an agreement, and if they break the contract, they will be compensated for three years' rent."

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

"Okay, Brother Zhao, I understand everything. Don't worry, I will give you a letter in the next two days."

Jin Xiaobao thought about it and felt that the problem was not big and could be solved.

"Okay, after this is done, I will give you 100 yuan! I will be of use to you in the future."

"Okay!"

100 yuan is not a small amount.

Zhao Wenmu told him to come to Haidian Guesthouse to find him if he had any news. Jin Xiaobao didn't waste any time and set off directly for Dashilan.

"Brother, why do you need to rent so many shops?"

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

She is not too worried about the money issue. She will not collect mushrooms at the end of this month, and all the working capital can be used to pay the rent.

But what kind of business is it to rent so many shops?

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

Zhao Wenmu whispered mysteriously.

"How come you can still pinch me?"

Zhao Jing poked his arm.

"That is, I know astronomy from above and geography from below. I know five hundred years before and five hundred years after."

Zhao Wenmu kept talking.

Zhao Jing burst into laughter.

“If you don’t want to say it, forget it!”

Zhao Wenmu said to himself that he really didn't know how to do astronomy and geography, but later he found out that there would be no problem after forty years.

It's a pity that no one believed him.

Jin Xiaobao is still very efficient in doing things. In less than three days, the matter is basically done.

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

He said happily.

"But the total monthly rent for the storefront houses that I am willing to rent out is only 6,100 yuan."

The target that Zhao Wenmu set for him was to add up to 10,000 monthly rent for all the shops, but it was still far behind.

Zhao Wenmu was already very satisfied with this result. After all, 10,000 yuan was not a small amount of money.

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

It is naturally not that easy to find a shop with a monthly rental value of 10,000 yuan in a short period of time.

"Brother Zhao, are you willing to rent a few shops in Wangfujing? There are some larger front-end houses there. I talked with them and the conditions are the same as in Dashilar."

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

This is a bit beyond expectations.

This Jin Xiaobao has a future.

It seems that the tasks assigned by the leaders cannot be completed by Dashilan alone. We can still use our subjective initiative to think of other ways to solve them.

This is the employee that the leader likes most, okay?

Able to exert subjective initiative, take the initiative and even overfulfill tasks!

The shops in Wangfujing are of course no problem, even better than Dashilan!

Zhao Wenmu set out immediately and went door to door with Jin Xiaobao to sign contracts.

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

There are not many people willing to rent front-end houses at the moment. Those who want to rent houses are still very welcome when they see someone coming to their door.

Zhao Wenmu once again emphasized to them that if they break the contract, they will have to pay three years' rent.

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

There are always a lot of lazy pigs who are not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, and even the court will not execute the sentence.

But it's different now.

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

Law enforcement is not as soft as in later generations.

Landlords actually welcome this clause. Since they are renting out houses anyway, there is no risk of breach of contract at all!

Everyone had a great time chatting, and Zhao Wenmu signed one rental agreement after another within one day.

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

Landlords also like such cheerful tenants.

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, rent, landlord status and other information of each store.

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 good job this time!"

It’s 20 yuan more than originally promised.

"Brother Zhao, this."

"Keep 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 money, I can pay off all the money I owed to my neighbors because of my little sister's illness.

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

"Xiao Jin, we are going back to Pingyang County tomorrow. You can help me take care of those front houses, just clean them 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 Beijing. After all, this is not my home.

Several people were already a little tired.

Zhao Wenmu decided to go back tomorrow.

The tickets were purchased a few days ago.

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

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