My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 673
Before the second sister could speak, Dabao answered first:
"Dad, don't worry, with my ingenuity, I will definitely not lose money."

"You're still early, what's the hurry?"

Xu Dong glared at his eldest son.

It may be because he has made a lot of money by speculating in stocks. Dabao is now a little bit swayed, and he has become a little blindly confident, and he thinks making money is too simple.

Sooner or later, this kind of thinking will suffer greatly.

Faced with his father's "teaching", Dabao could only shut his mouth resentfully. After his grandparents "retreat", he lost his two biggest backers.

……

Early the next morning, Xu Dong specially spared time to accompany his little daughter to the reserved store.

After all, Lele is doing business for the first time.

There are many places that need to be checked by him as a father, especially the most scarce raw materials, which cannot be solved by an ordinary college student.

Xu Dong walked around the store roughly, the location of the store is quite good, opposite to the east gate of Sydney University, there is no shortage of traffic.

"It doesn't look small here, how big is it?"

"A total of 188 square meters, 50 square meters for the back kitchen, 18 square meters for the warehouse, and 120 square meters for the restaurant."

Lele replied immediately.

"How much is the monthly rent?"

"The shops here are still very popular. I'm a long-term tenant. The rent is calculated on an annual basis. It's 55 yuan per year, which is about 4 yuan per month!"

"It's a bit expensive." Xu Dong frowned.

You know, the housing prices in the urban area are only in the early two or three thousand, and the annual rent here can be worth the two houses outside, which is not worth it no matter how you look at it.

"Dad, this store is the largest store in the vicinity. The landlord insisted on the price and refused to budge even a single step."

"What was this store used to do?"

"It used to be a clothing store, but didn't there be a flood later? The owner of the store suffered heavy losses, and the school was not open for a long time. In the end, he simply gave up the lease and left."

"Lele, the rent here is so expensive, have you ever thought about buying the store?"

Xu Dong suggested.

"Buy it? How much will it cost?"

"Didn't you ask the landlord?"

Lele shook her head: "No."

"You call the agent right now and say that you want to buy the store and ask him to invite the landlord to come and talk with him."

Xu Dong ordered.

"But for Chinese New Year, the agencies are on holiday..."

"Don't worry about playing. It was not easy for all walks of life last year. The agent is eager to earn more agency fees. He won't complain."

Lele nodded, then took out her mobile phone.

Sure enough, as Xu Dong said, in less than half an hour, the intermediary galloped here on a bicycle.

"Pretty girl, hey, who is this?"

"This is my dad."

"Hello, what's your name?" Xu Dong asked politely.

The intermediary brother quickly responded enthusiastically: "Hi Uncle, you can just call me Xiao Wu."

"Xiao Wu, did the landlord say when he will arrive?" Xu Dong asked.

"The landlord is already on the way, it should be soon."

"Do you know the price of this shop?"

"Sorry uncle, I haven't had time to ask, and the landlord didn't say anything, but according to my experience, the price of the store is roughly between 300 million and 350 million."

Xu Dong was surprised: "The price is not very expensive, is it? Why is the rent so high?"

"Uncle, more than half of the rent is property tax. You also know that the tax rate of commercial real estate is fixed at ten points every year. There is a big risk in it!"

Peng Yan who was on the side said, "With such a high rent, who would dare to open a shop in the future?"

"Sister, there is a subsidy for opening a store. The more taxes you pay, the more tax refunds you will get. If you are lucky, you may be able to completely offset the rent. In fact, the burden is not as heavy as you think."

"Is there such an operation?"

Lele couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Of course, the premise is that the business is good enough."

"My bakery is sure to be fine."

Lele said with confidence.

Xu Dong took advantage of the situation and knocked on the forehead of his little daughter.

Lele touched her head and said aggrievedly: "Dad, why did you hit me?"

"Have you forgotten what your father taught you? Opening a store is not as easy as you think. You must be cautious and cautious. Someone as arrogant as you is destined not to go very far."

Xu Dong taught patiently.

"I see."

Lele stuck out her tongue involuntarily.

The intermediary brother took the opportunity to boast: "Uncle looks like he is a big business man."

"Hmph, you don't need to say, my dad is Coke..."

"Cough..." Xu Dong immediately changed the subject, "Xiao Wu, do you think the landlord's willingness to sell the house is high?"

"It shouldn't be too low. Last year was an eventful year. The landlord probably has already become a frightened bird. If there is a chance to get off the ship, I think he will definitely not miss it."

The intermediary brother replied truthfully.

Xu Dong nodded. He also had a similar view in his heart. The general environment is not good, and all businesses are dying. The first to bear the brunt are all kinds of physical stores.

After a while, the landlord finally rushed over.

The visitor was in his early forties, a middle-aged uncle.

After some courtesies, the two sides began to get down to business.

Xu Dong cut to the point and said: "Boss Jiang, Xiao Wu should have told you, I want to confirm, are you willing to sell this shop?"

"Of course, I came here in person, it should represent my sincerity!"

"Well, what's your bid?"

"My shop has a good location and a large area..."

Xu Dong directly interrupted: "Boss Jiang, let's open the skylight and speak honestly. We are very clear about the advantages of the store. Can you just talk about the price?"

"420."

The landlord hesitated for a moment, and tried to quote the price.

"It's too high." Xu Dong shook his head, "Boss Jiang, we bought it sincerely, but are you selling it sincerely?"

"Then 380 million!"

The landlord smiled awkwardly.

"The market situation is there, I believe Xiao Wu should be very clear about the housing prices here."

The intermediary brother helped persuade: "Boss Jiang, since Mr. Xu sincerely wants to buy it, why don't you come up with a more realistic price?"

"There is no need to worry about renting out the shops in the university town, and 380 million yuan is really not expensive."

The landlord was unwilling to make any further concessions.

"If it is normal, 380 million is really not expensive, but I think Boss Jiang should be clear about the current environment. It will be winter again soon, and there will be another round of snowstorms and floods. I don't need to say more about the consequences. Bar!"

Xu Dong immediately retorted.

As soon as this remark came out, it directly hit the landlord's weakness, which was also what he was most worried about.

"I will drop another 30. This is the final reserve price."

The intermediary brother quickly echoed: "Mr. Xu, 350 million is already the market price."

"350 million is still a bit high."

Xu Dong said calmly.

The reason why he was so "picking and picking" was mainly for his youngest daughter. It was a rare opportunity to show up and preach, and it happened to teach Lele a lesson.

After all, there are a lot of negotiating skills involved.

"Mr. Xu, since you are still dissatisfied, why not ask for a price?"

The landlord tried his best to suppress the impatience in his heart.

"How about 270 million? The 270 million and one point are all yours, and all transfer taxes and fees will be borne by us."

Xu Dong tentatively said.

"It's impossible, and 270 million is too low."

The landlord was almost blown away.

A sudden price reduction of 80 is simply stealing money.

"Boss Jiang, the 270 million is definitely a profit for you. It's not too late to get out of the car. It's better than getting nothing back. To be a human being, you must learn to judge the situation."

"What do you mean? Say I'm greedy?"

The landlord said angrily.

"Greedy doesn't count, it's just that you don't see the general trend clearly."

Xu Dong deliberately pretended to be sorry.
