In the next few days, Kuang Longfei began to go out early and come back late. He would come to the store early in the morning with a bag on his back and walk around, then leave. Then he would not return to the store exhausted until the evening.
Give it a spin.
Kuang Longfei, who works hard, is very particular. Even if he runs out all day during the day, if a dish in the store is almost sold out, he will come to the store in the evening after chef Liu Guangfu gets off work to cook the dishes for the next day.
He kept running like this for four days. During this period, Sun Quan was very surprised and asked him why it was so difficult to find a store? Haven't you chosen one yet?
Kuang Longfei answered this at the time. He said: "Of course it is easy to find a store at random, but this is our first branch, so we must be cautious. We must strive to make a profit after opening this first branch.
Let it be a boost for us to open a second branch, not a hindrance! In the past two days, I have been mainly observing the popularity of the entrances of several nearby universities, and what are the popular snack bars near those universities..."
He talked a lot, and Sun Quan thought about it and gave him a thumbs up.
Kuang Longfei is so serious, what else can he say?
It seems that after Kuang Longfei failed to open the store in front of him before, he has indeed made great progress.
On the fifth day, Kuang Longfei came back in the evening and handed Sun Quan a piece of paper.
There are three addresses written on the paper, as well as the contact information of the contact person. Each contact information is followed by a price. Some say 28,000, some say 30,000, and one says 32,000.
They are both the names of the streets where two nearby universities are located.
Sun Quan has been studying in university in city M for several years, and is no stranger to the address on this piece of paper.
One is Handong Road where M Normal University is located, and the other is Changjiang Road where M Mechanical and Electrical College is located.
"The top store is next to the Normal University, and the lower two are next to the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering! I have called to ask about the rent, and the prices are written here. If you like any place, I will go and negotiate the price with the landlord.
We should be able to continue talking for a while."
Kuang Longfei pointed to the three addresses on the paper and gave Sun Quan a brief introduction.
Sun Quan nodded slightly, frowned slightly, and pointed to the top address, "Why is the rent at the Normal University lower than that at the Mechanical and Electrical College? It doesn't make sense, right? The Normal University should be more popular than the Mechanical and Electrical College, right?
?Is it because the store is smaller?”
Kuang Longfei hummed, "Yes! The Normal University is indeed more popular. After all, it is a comprehensive university with more teachers and students. But it is precisely because it is more popular there that it is difficult to find stores that are being transferred.
I searched for two days before I found a small storefront a little far away from the school gate, which is a little smaller than ours. For this, the landlord asked for it at 28,000 yuan!"
After a pause, he pointed to the other two addresses and said: "The two stores I found here at the Mechanical and Electrical College are quite close to the school gate, and the storefronts are slightly larger. And, as far as I know, the Mechanical and Electrical Stores
Students in the college are also more willing to consume than students in the normal university. Haha, those in the normal school study more seriously and seldom go out to eat and drink. Do you understand this? "
Sun Quan smiled and nodded, "I understand! So you prefer to open a branch at the Mechanical and Electrical College?"
Kuang Longfei: "Well, my opinion is over there at the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering! Although the rent there is a little higher, it's not much higher. The location is much better than that at the Normal University, and the store is more spacious. There can be at least two or three more tables.
, with two or three more dining tables, if the store can always be full, we can earn a lot more over the years!"
"Okay! Then I'll take a look with you tomorrow. If there's no problem, choose one of these two facades!" Sun Quan was persuaded by Kuang Longfei.
…
The next morning, Sun Quan drove Kuang Longfei to M Mechanical and Electrical College and personally looked at the two stores Kuang Longfei selected.
The situation is indeed as introduced by Kuang Longfei. The two stores are indeed very close to the gate of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, with the distance not exceeding 200 meters.
When they arrived, it was about 8 o'clock in the morning, which should be school time, but Sun Quan saw that several breakfast restaurants were almost full, and they all looked like students.
Kuang Longfei first called the landlord of one store and asked him to go into the store to see the actual situation. Then he called the landlord of the other store to see the situation in the other store.
Of course, while entering the store to see the conditions inside, they also tried to negotiate the rent with the landlord to see if they could negotiate a lower rent.
It's just that when they look at a house, they just look at it, and they just talk about the rent. They don't express their opinions on the spot whether to rent or not.
After looking at the two stores, Sun Quan and Kuang Longfei stood on the street. Sun Quan looked at the nearby stores, pointed at a beef noodle restaurant, and said to Kuang Longfei: "Let's go have a bowl of noodles? Haven't you eaten yet this morning?"
Kuang Longfei chuckled and said, "Well, I was planning to come here to buy two beef buns. I've been running here a lot these days and found that there is a bun shop here with delicious beef buns. Do you want to try them?
"
As he spoke, he pointed to a bun shop not far away.
Sun Quan looked in the direction of his finger and said, "Okay! Then go buy two of them. I'll wait for you at that beef noodle restaurant and order the beef noodles for you!"
"Okay! I'm going then!"
…
Beef noodle restaurant.
When two large bowls of beef noodles were served, Kuang Longfei happened to come back from buying steamed buns, sat down opposite Sun Quan, and casually placed the beef steamed buns he bought on the table.
Sun Quan laughed when he saw it.
Because this beef bun was obviously much bigger than other buns, "How much does one cost?" he asked.
"Fifty cents each! Two dollars a dollar!"
Kuang Longfei took one for himself first, and when he took a bite, he could see the steaming beef filling inside, with red chili powder and chopped green onion. Sun Quan couldn't help it at the first sight, and his appetite was aroused.
I immediately picked one up and took a bite. My mouth was immediately filled with delicious flavor. The buns stuffed with beef are much more fragrant than those stuffed with pork.
The two of them were eating beef buns, beef noodles, and taking a sip of noodle soup from time to time. The expressions on their faces were quite satisfied.
Sun Quan felt particularly emotional. Even now, in a few years, they would definitely not be able to eat for less than thirty or forty yuan for these two things.
Now, it's only a dozen dollars.
Moreover, there is enough beef in the beef noodles, and there is also a lot of meat filling in the beef buns.
While eating, the two of them chatted.
Kuang Longfei: "What do you think of those two stores just now?"
Sun Quan: "I stand and watch."
Kuang Longfei: "..."
After laughing, Sun Quancai replied seriously: "Let's look at the first one! It's closer to the school gate, and this store was obviously a catering business before. The bar in the store is still there, the wine rack is also there, and the kitchen layout is also the same.
They were all well preserved. We took over and bought some tables, chairs, pots and pans, etc., and basically started business directly. The second store we looked at was supposed to sell stationery before, right? Although the store is more
It’s clean and the decoration is updated, but we basically don’t use it, so it’s meaningless no matter how beautiful it is, what do you think?”
Kuang Longfei took a bite of the bun and said vaguely: "You have considered it so comprehensively, what other opinions do I have? However, I want to remind you that the rent of that store is two thousand more expensive!"
"Two thousand doesn't matter, the money that can be saved in decoration is more than that, not to mention, the time lost in decoration is still money!"
Sun Quanhun didn't care.
Kuang Longfei nodded, "That's it? I'll go and finalize the lease with the landlord later?"
Sun Quan: "Well, now that we've decided, let's do it as soon as possible! To avoid being the first to get there."
…
Maybe Sun Quan should take some time to go to the temple and burn some incense to help himself.
Because he had such a bad mouth! His words came true. After finishing the noodles and paying the bill, as soon as he came out of the beef noodle restaurant, Kuang Longfei called the landlady he met for the first time today.
As a result, Sun Quan noticed that as soon as Kuang Longfei said a few words, his face changed and his voice also changed, "What? Already rented out? No way? Auntie, how could it be so fast? How old are you now?"
Sun Quan couldn't hear what the landlady said on the phone. What he could see was that Kuang Longfei's face gradually turned ugly, and he finally hung up the phone casually.
Sun Quan looked at Kuang Longfei, waiting for his explanation.
Kuang Longfei had a complicated expression, opened his mouth, sighed first, and then said: "I really got it right with your crow's mouth. Someone has really taken advantage of that store and has already rented it out! It's right where we are eating noodles.
I know how to do it, and I signed the lease."
Sun Quan: "..."
The two of them stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
After a while, Sun Quan held back a sentence: "Who is it? He also owns a restaurant? The stationery shop next door that used to sell is so clean and newly decorated, why doesn't he rent it?"
Kuang Longfei smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I didn't ask about this, but I guess he is also engaged in catering!"
After a pause, Kuang Longfei asked: "What should we do now? Rent the one who sold stationery before?"
Sun Quan frowned.
Of course he doesn't want to rent that store. As he analyzed just now, although the store that used to sell stationery was newly renovated and the store was clean, it was of no use?
He had almost no use for the decoration in the store. Except for the floor tiles, almost everything needed to be renovated, which would require a lot of money and time.
"Are there no other stores on this street for sale?" he asked.
Kuang Longfei smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No! In front of the school, brother! It's not easy for me to find two stores for rent."
Sun Quan frowned even more, "What about the Normal University? What was the store over there used to do?"
Kuang Longfei: "That store is a bit far from the Normal University gate. [ Quick update ] It seemed like it was selling fruit before..."
Sun Quan: "..."
After being speechless for several seconds, Sun Quan cursed: "You're crazy! Selling fruit far away from the school gate? Are you crazy?"
Kuang Longfei was amused and sighed. He asked again: "Then which one should we rent? Do you want to go there and have a look?"
Sun Quan thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Have you ever seen the entrance of Shenxing Computer Training School?"
