"Why don't you wait any longer? There will be more stores available in a while," Lin Jingya suggested.
Lu Qingtian shook his head, "If you wait one day, you will make less money for the day. Moreover, the business of these first few stores is very stable, so it is difficult to cancel the lease in a short time."
"Uncle Wu, please make an appointment with the landlord. We want to talk to her. We sincerely want to rent this store, and we hope the landlord can make some concessions." Lu Qingtian said.
"Okay, then just wait for me here for a while. I'll go get the old lady over. Tell her whatever you want."
Lu Qingtian walked around the store again, "This layout is really good, wide horizontally and narrow vertically.
At that time, this will be the place for ordering and cashing, and the area enclosed here will be the place for making drinks, and there will be a few tables and chairs here for guests to rest."
Lu Qingtian is very satisfied with this store.
Listening to her description, Lin Jingya and Jiang Lai couldn't help but start to imagine what this store would look like in the future.
"We also need to separate a warehouse to put things in, so that we don't have to run all the time to get raw materials. But the ice cubes can't be stored for a long time, what should I do?" Jiang Lai was worried about this.
"When the store opens, we should officially put the purchase of a freezer on the agenda. Once we have the freezer, we won't have to go to the ice cream factory to buy ice cubes. We can freeze the ice cubes ourselves in the freezer."
"Really? That's great. It can save another expense. Buying ice cubes every day is quite expensive." Jiang Lai was very happy.
Lin Jingya couldn't help but expose her innocence, "Are you stupid? The money you spent to buy a freezer is enough for you to buy several tons of ice cubes. Dozens of large trucks can't even load it.
However, now that the weather is hot, it is easy for us to sell cold drinks. What will happen when the weather gets cold? It is so cold in winter, who would drink cold drinks?"
"You also said that Jiang Lai is stupid. I don't think you are very smart. We should sell hot drinks in winter. In addition to iced milk tea, of course we can also make hot milk tea. We can also develop more new products.
"
"Really, that's great. We can make money all year round, unlike those who sell ice cream, who can only sell it in the summer. When winter comes, the ice cream factory can hardly pay wages."
The three of them were thinking about their future careers when Wu Wei arrived with the landlord.
"Hello, sister-in-law, and two other girls, this is the landlord, please talk to her."
"Who did I think was interested in my shop? It turns out it's you." Old Mrs. Wan looked at the three people in front of her with her shrewd eyes.
"Grandma Wan, why is it you? If I had known you were the one who brought you here when you went out this morning, no, we can just talk at home. Why are you going through so much trouble?" Jiang Lai saw Old Mrs. Wan.
very happy.
Lu Qingtian was also surprised that the arrogant and difficult landlord turned out to be Mrs. Wan.
Lin Jingya knew how difficult the old lady was, and felt that lowering the rent was a bit difficult.
"Grandma Wan, you see, this is not the first time we have interacted with each other. We have lived under the same roof for so many days, and you have also examined our characters.
You can rest assured that the shop is rented to us, but the rent of fifty yuan a month is indeed a bit expensive. Do you think it can be a little less, how about forty yuan a month?" Lu Qingtian discussed in a good voice.
Even at 40 yuan, it's not cheap. It's five yuan more expensive than the store next door.
"No, but after seeing you, I have a new idea. I don't need rent. You just need to give me 10% of the profit every month. This shop will be treated as my shareholding."
Jiang Lai's mouth widened slightly in surprise and his eyes widened as he looked at the old lady.
"What? Why is your old lady's appetite getting bigger and bigger? You might as well charge fifty yuan a month." Lin Jingya had the biggest reaction. The more people shared the money, the less she got.
Besides, once a milk tea shop is opened, the profit of 10% per month will be more than 50 yuan.
Lin Jingya has personally set up a stall, and setting up a stall is more than just that, let alone opening a store.
"We all know the basics. I won't bargain anymore. I'll just pay fifty yuan a month as promised at the beginning, one year at a time, and let's sign a contract." Lu Qingtian chose to turn a deaf ear to the old lady's new proposal.
"I don't want fifty yuan. I want to buy shares. If you think 10% profit is too high, we can talk about it. In addition, I have another request. I want to drink a bottle of milk tea for free every day." Old Mrs. Wan
New requirements were made.
Lu Qingtian readily agreed, "No problem, let alone one bottle. As long as you can drink it, you can drink as much as you want, it's free. I can't accept the split.
Besides, how safe is it for you to get the rent? The split depends on how good the business is.
If you lose, you won't lose anything."
Mrs. Wan proposed to share the profits because she was optimistic about their business.
It's impossible to compensate. Don't think she doesn't know that Lu Qingtian said this deliberately to persuade her to quit.
However, she only had this one shop and couldn't help with anything else, so it was really not appropriate to ask for a share.
It seemed like he was deliberately taking advantage of the little girl.
The old lady shook her head, "That's all, don't act like I'm bullying you. The rent is forty-five yuan a month, payable for a year. If you don't have any objections, just sign the contract."
Lu Qingtian and Lin Jingya looked at each other, seeing surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.
What a turn of events and an unexpected surprise.
Rather than find out why the old lady changed her mind, Lu Qingtian wanted to sign the contract in black and white immediately, and the matter was settled.
"No objection, let's sign the lease contract now."
The contract was handwritten by the old lady. All you had to do was fill in the store address, rental amount and start and end time.
After signing the contract, Lu Qingtian waved his hand, "Let's go, I'll treat you, let's go have breakfast."
Wu Wei still had something to do, so he left first.
The remaining four women, old, middle and young, went to have breakfast together.
The old lady chose steamed buns, eggs, porridge and pickles.
Jiang Lai chose fried dough sticks with glutinous rice cake and soy milk. She had never eaten it before and found it very novel.
At first, Ms. Lin waved her hand and refused very reservedly, "I have already had breakfast, you can just eat."
As a result, later on, I wanted to eat this and that, so I almost tasted everything I had never tasted before.
After Lu Qingtian paid for the old lady's and Jiang Lai's breakfast, he started paying for each store with Ms. Lin.
Fortunately, she ate as she walked, and she felt full as she ate. Seeing that there was still a lot left in her hands, she was too embarrassed to clamor to buy anything else.
"Thank you, Qingtian, but don't worry, I won't waste it. I'll take it back and feed it to my family."
Lu Qingtian glared at her, "You can take it back and feed it to your man. I'll buy a new one for my man. We won't eat what you left. And my grandparents, I'll buy another one too."
