Li Zeyu's eyes lit up, and his slightly frowned brow suddenly relaxed.
"Brother Peng, you are right. The choice of location is very important. You are more familiar with the capital than I am. You can tell me some of the more prosperous places to save me from running away in vain, right?"
Shen Dapeng nodded, "There are several districts in the capital, and there are prosperous places in each district. I will mention a few places that you can go and inspect. During the SARS period, many shops closed down due to poor business, so you have to rent a location.
Better paving is still easy.”
Shen Dapeng told Li Zeyu some better business districts by the way.
"Big head, your brain is flexible enough. You can come up with this idea, which makes me admire you very much. But this selling point is really good. During the SARS period, everyone was panicked, and there are no specific drugs and vaccines now. If our little lotus pond
Hot pot has indeed been developed to have the effect of enhancing immunity, so I believe it will definitely attract a large number of customers."
While Li Zeyu was remembering several business districts mentioned by Shen Dapeng, and listening to Shen Dapeng's affirmation of his ideas, Li Zeyu couldn't help but pat his chest.
"Brother Peng, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and won't let you down."
"I know what kind of person you are." Shen Dapeng nodded. Li Zeyu is his best brother, and he really admires this boy's drive.
"In this case, you and Xiaoxiao will go to these places in the past few days. I believe in your vision. If you like the store, the price is moderate, and you can directly sign a ten-year priority renewal right."
"Ten-year priority renewal right?" Li Zeyu's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Shen Dapeng in disbelief.
Shen Dapeng pointed at Li Zeyu and said with a smile: "You are smart, but why can't you understand sometimes? Now that SARS has become a big issue, the rent of stores in Beijing has dropped a lot compared to before, which is a good opportunity to buy. Rent at such a cheap price
We should be happy when we get to the store, right?"
Li Zeyu nodded, "Yes, it's just like stock trading. Buy from a low point, sell it when it rises to a high point, and you will definitely make money."
"Absolutely." Shen Dapeng continued, "But we are renting someone else's place, so we can't sell it. But compared with the rent before SARS, we have actually saved a lot. This savings is not equivalent.
For what we earned?”
Li Zeyu nodded indifferently and said: "Brother Peng, I understand what you said. We have saved a lot of money, but what does this have to do with the ten-year contract renewal right?"
Shen Dapeng chuckled, "That's what I want to say, it's right for us to rent, but what if after SARS passes, what if the rent of stores in Beijing returns to the previous level, or even higher than the rent before SARS?"
"So what if it's high? We've already rented it, so the landlord won't raise the rent halfway, right?" Li Zeyu smiled disdainfully, "We have signed a lease contract with him."
"Big head, the lease contract for a storefront is usually signed once a year, up to two years. After two years, the boss deliberately raised the rent and refused to renew our lease. What can we do? We can't just hang on and refuse to leave, right?
"
Li Zeyu was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.
Shen Dapeng's words are not unreasonable. After SARS, the landlord was certainly not willing to accept the increase in storefront rent. After one or two years, he would definitely not continue to rent to them.
After the branch opened and its popularity grew, it was time to move out.
I’m afraid no one doing business would like to see such a scene, right?
"Therefore, it is beneficial to us to sign the right of priority to renew the contract. When the contract period is up, we have the priority to continue the lease. Even if the rent increases, it will not affect our business."
Hearing what Shen Dapeng said, Sun Dapao, who had been listening, suddenly realized and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Shen Dapeng.
"Brother Peng is still thoughtful and open to do business. If you move here and there all day long and the customers who have finally gathered are scattered, how can you do this business? Big head, you heard what Brother Peng said is right."
At this time, Li Zeyu also realized the importance of the priority right to renew the contract, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, when we find a suitable store, we will sign a ten-year priority right to renew the contract with the landlord. In this way, those old customers will be
Within ten years, if you want to have a meal at our Little Lotus Pond Hotpot, you won’t be able to find a place.”
"That's right, big head, if you listen to Brother Peng's opinion, you're absolutely right!" Sun Dapao smiled, turned sideways and patted Li Zeyu on the shoulder, "Brother Peng is the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, and the three of us cobblers together can do the same."
Not half as good as Brother Peng, haha."
Li Zeyu also laughed loudly. Just as he was about to pick up his wine glass and have a drink with Shen Dapeng and Sun Dapao, he was suddenly startled by Lin Xiaoxiao's voice next to him.
"Sun Dapao, you stinky men are the stinky and disgusting cobblers, okay?! I'm a girl, okay? I'm not a stinky cobbler!"
Lin Xiaoxiao stared at Sun Dapao with an angry look on his face. While venting his dissatisfaction, he used his hand as a fan and fanned his nose in disgust, as if the people sitting next to him were really some cobblers.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about this. Xiaoxiao is not a smelly cobbler. She does have a charming feminine scent. If she wasn't big-headed, she wouldn't have brought Xiaoxiao with her to the capital.
Right? Haha..."
Sun Dapao pretended to be serious and joked, but by the end of the joke, even he couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
"Sun Dapao, you..."
Lin Xiaoxiao angrily raised her fists and was about to hit Sun Dapao, but there was Li Zeyu in the middle. The distance was not enough, so she could only look at the ocean and sigh. Her originally beautiful face was almost deformed due to shame and anger.
"I didn't say anything..."
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's raised fist, Sun Dapao deliberately spread his hands and looked at everyone pretending to be innocent.
"Okay, okay, this isn't over yet? Big guns, big heads come to the capital, and you're going to entertain people like this?"
When Shen Dapeng saw the scene in front of him, he frowned and couldn't help but wave his hand.
If you don't persuade me, don't talk about being a cobbler, I guess it's time to stage the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"Okay, just kidding, don't take it seriously. When my brother comes, of course I have to treat him well. Brother Peng, Big Head, Xiaoxiao, come and touch one."
"This attitude is not bad..." Li Zeyu showed a smile and raised his cup, "Xiaoxiao, come and have a drink."
Lin Xiaoxiao was just bluffing, so naturally he would not take the joke seriously. When he saw Sun Dapao correcting his posture, he also picked up his wine glass and drank with Shen Dapeng, Sun Dapao, Li Zeyu and others.
"Eat food, eat food. This restaurant tastes good. It's not in vain that Brother Pao brought us here. The Xiaohetang branch will open another day. I'll treat everyone to a good meal!" Li Zeyu patted his chest generously.
