Chapter 931 The shops here are so cheap (double monthly pass)
At around 10:30 in the morning, Wang Yi drove to Jingcheng Station to pick up Guo Ying.
It's not very far from Jingcheng Station, just over half an hour away.
After arriving, he saw many fashionable and avant-garde young people crowding into the station.
Standing nearby and listening to people chattering, he remembered that tomorrow was the National Day holiday. Ever since he followed Xia Zekai, he had almost blurred the concept of time.
Time flies so fast!
After waiting outside the station for more than twenty minutes, his cell phone rang and he received a call from a woman.
"Hello, Manager Guo, I'm here at the station entrance. The boss asked me to pick you up." Wang Yi said politely.
After answering the phone and waiting for a while, Wang Yi saw Guo Ying dragging two suitcases out of the station entrance.
He quickly walked over and took the two suitcases from Guo Ying.
"Wang Yi, thank you!" Guo Ying expressed her gratitude with a smile.
The boss's driver and bodyguard are familiar to many managers in the company.
"Manager Guo is too polite."
Wang Yi put a suitcase in each hand and put it in the car: "The boss asked me to pick you up. When I came, the boss's wife was already preparing lunch..."
"Oh, how can you be so embarrassed and let Sister Luo do some work?" Guo Ying never expected that Luo Xiyun was already busy, and she felt a little touched.
After getting in the car, Wang Yi drove directly towards the Honolulu villa area.
Guo Ying asked him: "Where does the boss live now?"
"Honolulu is not far from here. It only took me more than half an hour to get here." After Wang Yi finished speaking, he concentrated on driving again.
For the next time, Guo Ying sat quietly and looked out at the buildings and the high-traffic areas passing by.
Let’s see what’s the difference between Jingcheng and Qicheng.
Unknowingly, Wang Yi's driving speed slowed down. After Guo Ying came to her senses, she saw that they had stopped at the gate with 'Honolulu' written in the middle. After Wang Yi swiped the permissions, the security guard at the gate let them go.
Let them in.
Guo Ying took a quick look and asked, "Are all villas here?"
"Well, all of them!" Wang Yi said.
Xia Zekai didn't go anywhere and was talking to his wife in the living room.
When Wang Yi came in dragging two suitcases, Guo Ying followed behind, carrying a black backpack.
"Xiao Guo, here you go, sit down quickly." Luo Xiyun said.
Guo Ying saw the two of them and quickly said hello: "Boss, Sister Luo."
"You've had a hard time on the road. Sit down and rest for a while. My mother will prepare food later. Eat more." Luo Xiyun said with a gentle smile.
Luo Xiyun and Guo Ying met when her husband Xia Zekai was still working in the garage of Lin Ao Community. At that time, there were only two people in the store.
One is Li Mumu, and the other is Guo Ying. In a sense, these are also the two earliest employees of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd., and they are the old people who made great contributions in the early stage of the company's development.
"Sister Luo, you are too polite and asked Auntie to do her work. If I had known this earlier, I would not have come to avoid causing trouble to you." Guo Ying said a few polite words.
She opened one of the silver-gray suitcases and took out many delicacies in different packages in front of Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun.
She said: "This is the sausage made by Manager Sun himself. He is afraid that if the boss stays here for a long time, he will not be able to eat the authentic sausages from Qicheng, which weighs a full 5 kilograms."
"Originally, Manager Sun gave me 10 kilograms to carry, but there are so many things that even a woman can't carry with me."
After saying that, she put the bag of sausages aside and took out another bag: "This is the squab that Mr. Li asked me to bring over. He said it was for Sister Luo to replenish her health. He went to the farmer's house to collect it specially.
When it comes, I have someone process it and vacuum-pack it. Sister Luo can just eat it directly."
"Mr. Lu made the roasted duck eggs himself..."
"Mr. Yan asked me to bring good things to my boss and Sister Luo. He said that it happened to be the National Day and the company was very busy, otherwise he would definitely come over by himself."
"That's right, look at how confused I am. The things that Manager Zhang and Manager Wang asked me to bring for the kids are all in another suitcase. I almost forgot about them."
"..."
Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun looked at these foods and gadgets that were not very expensive but were particularly meaningful to them, and their hearts were instantly filled with warmth.
Guo Ying continued to chatter: "Boss, actually, we all missed you after you left. When you were here, we were confident in everything we did."
"You came to the capital this time. We can't find anyone, and we don't know what to do. Sometimes we have to discuss a plan together two or three times!"
Guo Ying told some things that happened in the company after Xia Zekai left the company.
This made Xia Zekai dumbfounded. He never expected that these people would see such a scene, but he knew that his short departure this time might bring more senior talents who can stand alone to the company when he returns next time.
Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. is getting bigger and bigger, and it is impossible to expect him to handle everything by himself. At this time, a management talent with decision-making ability becomes particularly important.
"Isn't there still a conference call? You don't need to worry, just feel free and do it boldly." Xia Zekai said this, also giving them affirmation from the side.
Guo Ying nodded repeatedly: "I listen to the boss. I mainly come to the capital this time to shop for shops, and then the Jingtong Baby Direct-Sales Chain will open here in the capital. The boss wants to eat our home-produced food. You can
Go directly to the store to pick it up, it’s convenient and clean.”
"You are thoughtful." Xia Zekai sighed with emotion.
Liu Chunhua prepared a table of dishes and called them: "Zekai, Xiyun, come over for dinner quickly."
"Wow, auntie has cooked so many dishes, I can't eat them all." Guo Ying said exaggeratedly.
Liu Chunhua said with a smile: "Xiao Guo, you have been in the car all the way. You must be very hungry. Hurry up and eat more. It won't hurt if you eat it."
"Hey, Auntie, thank you. Please sit down quickly." Guo Ying didn't dare to take the big one.
She knew in her heart that this was not a nanny, but the boss's wife's own mother.
Luo Xiyun also asked Guo Ying if she drank, and Guo Ying said directly: "Sister Luo, I have to go out and look for a suitable shop in the afternoon. I won't drink. Drinking will easily delay things."
She can drink, but she came with a mission and drinking is against the rules.
Hearing what she said, Luo Xiyun no longer forced himself, served the steaming lean meat porridge, and several people gathered around the dining table to start eating.
They are all home-cooked dishes made by Liu Chunhua. The taste is definitely different from those made with various seasonings in the hotel, but when Guo Ying eats it, she feels that it tastes like home.
After eating, Luo Xiyun felt a little sleepy, so she went upstairs to rest.
Liu Chunhua also went out for a walk. She couldn't stay idle. There was no farm work here and there wasn't much other work to do. When she wasn't busy, she just looked around.
"Has Manager Guo defined the scope?" Xia Zekai asked her.
Guo Ying nodded and took out the information report prepared in advance from her backpack. She said: "This is the plan report I have compiled. Boss, please take a look."
"The preparation is quite detailed." Xia Zekai took it and read it carefully from beginning to end.
After reading it, Xia Zekai nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, the plan is very complete, but Manager Guo can be more bold and buy a few more sets."
"Yes!" Guo Ying responded, and then said: "Before coming, I went to report to Mr. Yan. He also said the same and asked me to ask the boss for his opinion."
Xia Zekai laughed and said: "Let's put it this way, the purchasing power of places like Beijing, Magic City, and Shencheng is much stronger than the purchasing power of our cities over there. The capital is a special place, and you can't pay for it if you buy a shop."
Guo Ying has a deep understanding of this. She said: "The current real estate price increase is a bit outrageous."
Xia Zekai smiled and said nothing, and then heard Guo Ying continue: "But before I came here, I called some agents and found out that the price of shops here in Beijing is only 20,000 to 30,000, which is much lower than I thought. It's incredible.
"
"There are also expensive ones, and prices will definitely increase in the future." Xia Zekai told her with certainty.
Guo Ying had read an article written by Xia Zekai before about "the takeoff of real estate in the next ten years".
As she moved into a better position, her level of standing was different, her horizons were broadened, and the people she came into contact with were also different. She knew that rising real estate prices would be the general trend in the next long period of time.
No doubt about it!
"Well, I understand, but the prices of the shops here are still much higher than those over ours, and they take up a larger amount of funds." Guo Ying said.
“With the same funds, if you buy one unit here, you may be able to buy several more units in other places.”
Xia Zekai waved his hand and said with a chuckle: "For products like ours, from soluble beans to now dried fruits, the price is generally a little higher. Shops in towns and cities are cheaper, but if you go and try it, if you buy it in a town
If we buy a shop in the county, how much do you think our products can sell in a day?"
"So, don't just look at the number of shops, but also look at the city where it is located, its geographical location, and the income of the surrounding people. Manager Guo, you must remember that quality is more important than quantity."
This question is very intuitive and has a lot to do with the income of the customers they face.
A person with a high income doesn't care about buying these high-priced 'snacks', but if he earns one to two thousand a month, or two to three thousand, he will most likely not consider snacks that cost tens of dollars per catty.
Time passed quietly as they concentrated on discussing the plan to purchase a store.
Liu Chunhua came back from a stroll outside. She saw her son-in-law and Guo Ying still chatting about the company, so she didn't disturb them and went to make them a pot of tea.
"Auntie, thank you!"
"Xiao Guo, why are you so polite? We treat this place as our own home." Liu Chunhua smiled and patted her shoulder and said.
Guo Ying did not dare to treat her boss's house as her own. After reporting her work to Xia Zekai, Guo Ying ignored the dissuasion and left dragging her suitcase with her clothes.
She left the other suitcase that she brought specifically for bringing food to Xia Zekai's place. She also said that it was inconvenient to go out with two suitcases, so she should leave the suitcase with her boss temporarily and take it with her when she returns.
Luo Xiyun woke up and came downstairs, only to see her husband alone on the first floor.
"Xiao Guo is gone, why didn't you let her finish her meal?" Luo Xiyun also blamed her husband.
Xia Zekai said: "She went to the market for a walk. The goal she set for herself this time is not small. This job cannot be easy."
"Let me take a look." Luo Xiyun also saw the report in front of her husband. As soon as she reached out, Xia Zekai put the report in her hand.
After Luo Xiyun read it, she made a "tsk tsk" sound and said, "If you buy a shop in the capital, you have to spend tens of millions."
"Indispensable." Xia Zekai said.
But he went on to say: "Daughter-in-law, don't look at the unit price of our villa, which is quite expensive, but I have noticed that the prices of shops here have dropped ridiculously in the past two years. In many places, the prices of shops are about the same as those of real estate. They are expensive."
It’s just a little higher than our villa.”
"How could it be so cheap?" Luo Xiyun was also puzzled.
Xia Zekai spread his hands, shrugged, and said, "You ask me, I'll ask who to go to."
"This place in the capital is really a bit evil!" Xia Zekai said.
…
Not to mention Xia Zekai, Wang Yi drove Guo Ying to the hotel he had booked before arriving, and Wang Yi went back again.
Guo Ying thanked him, put down her luggage, and started to work.
Before coming here, I learned from multiple channels that the prices of shops here are much higher than those in other places, but in terms of the overall average, they are not extremely high.
Through a phone call from an intermediary, she learned that the average price of shops here is even less than 30,000 yuan, except in some particularly high-end places, where the price of shops is in the range of 80,000 to 90,000 yuan, and the top ones are over 100,000 yuan.
But the prices in popular places are basically around 25,000, which is almost the same as the price of buildings here.
Guo Ying didn't know what caused this situation, but it didn't stop them from buying it for their own use.
They even think that the cheaper the better, so they can save a lot of money and buy more sets.
Guo Ying did not rush to find the agency she had contacted in advance in Qicheng. Instead, after coming out of the hotel, she walked around and slowly walked around to understand the specific situation here.
Understand what the flow of people in the surrounding area is like, what the purchasing power is, and what the surrounding communities are like.
As well as the potential for future appreciation of the store after it is purchased, these must be considered comprehensively.
As soon as she opened her legs, she walked for nearly three hours. During this time, she called several shops with the words "Lucky House for Sale" on the door. When she asked about the price, it was 26,700, 27,000.
On August 1, there were even 20,000, 34,000 and 40,000 yuan. There were also a few good locations with more than 30,000 yuan, but none that exceeded 40,000 yuan. She felt confident.
