Compared with his ugly appearance yesterday when he was drunk and crazy, Chen Maolin is very clear today, and his appearance and temperament are higher than most people.
Judging from how he looks now, he must have been a handsome guy when he was young.
Of course, after a man reaches the age of thirty, if he is just handsome, it is of no use.
While Comrade Xu was asking, he was also looking at Chen Maolin.
I feel that although Chen Maolin looks good, he seems to have a depressed look between his eyebrows.
Or the look of sadness.
This is also a common characteristic of men who are unsuccessful in their careers and feel unhappy.
Chen Maolin: "No! This house is rented by us, but our lease period has not yet expired, so if you want to rent here now, you must talk to us first!"
This answer was within Xu Tongdao's expectation.
Because there is a "sublet notice" posted on the door of the courtyard.
What is subletting?
If this couple were the landlords here, then the notice posted should be a "rental notice" and not a "sublet notice".
Comrade Xu nodded and asked with a smile: "Then what are your sublease conditions?"
Chen Maolin frowned and looked at Comrade Xu up and down, "Do you really want to rent?"
Ge Lianghua interjected: "Of course, otherwise who would have time to waste time?"
Comrade Xu smiled and said nothing.
Chen Maolin smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, "Sit down! Please sit down, both of you! Let's sit down and talk."
After saying that, he told his wife, "Amin, go! Make us a pot of tea!"
"Hey, okay."
She agreed, looked at Xu Tongdao and Ge Lianghua curiously, and went to the bar to make tea.
Comrade Xu and Ge Lianghua sat down, and Chen Maolin also sat across the dining table with them.
In a restaurant, there may not be much else, but there are plenty of dining tables and dining chairs.
"Uh, can I ask, what do you plan to do when you rent this place? Do you also want to open a restaurant?"
After sitting down, Chen Maolin leaned forward slightly and asked this question.
Ge Lianghua's eyes became confused.
Comrade Xu heard the implication of Chen Maolin's words.
After all, Comrade Xu had worked as a chef for several years before he was reborn, and he had heard about the subletting of restaurants.
So he knew that when a hotel sublets, it not only sublets the store, but also transfers all the tables, chairs, pots, pans, etc. in the store.
This is a condition attached to most hotels when subletting.
Firstly, it saves trouble. Secondly, transferring everything in the store directly to the next tenant can often result in a higher price than selling everything in the store on the second-hand market.
If the location of the transferred store is good enough, the transfer fee will often be significantly higher than the real price of everything in the store.
This form of subletting is very beneficial to the original shop owner.
Unfortunately, Comrade Xu was destined to disappoint Chen Maolin.
Shaking his head slightly, Xu Tong said: "No! We don't open a restaurant."
Chen Maolin frowned for a moment, "This...then you don't want all these things in my store?"
This is nonsense, but what it exposes is Chen Maolin's inner disappointment and unwillingness.
"Come! Please drink tea!"
His wife came over at this time carrying a tray with a pot of tea and three tea cups.
As she said this, she picked up the teacup and poured tea for Comrade Xu and Ge Lianghua in an unhurried manner.
Comrade Xu said thank you and looked at Chen Maolin opposite, "We don't open a restaurant, so of course we can't take over your things. I want to ask, in this case, you can't sublet this place to us.
?”
This issue is critical.
Decide whether they should continue talking.
"this……"
Chen Maolin frowned, caught in a dilemma, and looked at his wife who was pouring tea, "Amin, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Comrade Xu also looked at this charming young woman.
She also frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said: "Our hotel can't continue to operate, and we don't want to take away these things in the store. So, if you don't take over these things in our store, then unless you can
Give us more in rent, otherwise we may not be able to negotiate."
Her speaking speed is neither fast nor slow, with a soft-spoken Wu dialect.
But what she expressed was much more assertive than her man, Chen Maolin.
His brain is also better than Chen Maolin's.
She could actually think of charging a higher price for the rent in just a moment, and she said it was reasonable and well-founded.
Comrade Xu looked at her differently and smiled, "How many months are left on your lease here? How much rent do you want? Also, I want to ask about the lease you signed with the landlord here...
Are you allowed to sublet?"
In some houses, the landlord does not allow tenants to sublet and become second landlords.
"There is no problem with subletting! The landlord of this house is a relative of mine. I have already agreed with him about the subletting. As for the lease period..."
At this point, she paused and said, "There are about two months left in the lease term. The rent... If you can give us four thousand yuan in rent, you don't need these things in the store, and we will find a way to move them all."
"
After saying that, the couple looked at Xu Tongdao and Ge Lianghua expectantly.
Chen Maolin frowned.
She has a smile on her face and is relatively calm.
"Four thousand rent for two months?"
Comrade Xu raised questions.
Ge Lianghua frowned and questioned more clearly, "Are you crazy about money? According to your calculation, what is the annual rent here? Two thousand a month? Twenty-four thousand a year? You are talking nonsense! Scoff."
Chen Maolin's face turned a little red and he subconsciously looked at his wife.
His wife's expression remained unchanged, with a slight smile on her face, "Yes, the rent must be a bit high. Didn't I just say that since you can't take over these things in our store, then unless you can
Take care of us when it comes to rent, otherwise we will definitely not be able to sublet to you."
Chen Maolin immediately agreed, "That's right! That's right! That's what I mean too. Unless you can give us concessions on the rent, we will definitely not be able to sublet it to you!"
Chen Maolin's words echoed a bit harshly.
Obviously what he meant was the same as what his wife just said, but his words were even more disgusting.
No, Ge Lianghua immediately retorted, "Four thousand in two months is too outrageous! How can I make such concessions to you? You guys are talking like a lion!"
The charming young woman smiled and responded, "Yes! We need a lot, but you have also seen our current situation. It is really difficult. So, if you are really sincere and want to rent, please take more care of us. We
Grateful."
This woman is so difficult!
Tongdao Xu frowned slightly and looked around at the various equipment in the store. "Can you tell me what the specific rent is for one year if you rent this place?"
