Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 20 Don’t Set Up a Personality in Front of Me

The shop Xu Ru looked at was located in Guanghuan Shopping Park.

Belongs to the Halo Commercial Complex.

The Halo Shopping Park project is a high-end commercial project created by Hongkong Land.

It is backed by the most famous wealthy area in Jiangnan City.

There is also a high-end office building project nearby.

Whether it is the white-collar elite group or the wealthy group, they are very suitable for the market positioning of Beicheng Hotel.

High-end business restaurant.

The shop is not located in the Halo Shopping Mall, but is located next to the artificial lake on the side. It has a comfortable environment and is a small two-story single-storey business.

Necessary factors such as transportation and parking are also convenient.

Jiangbei City is very satisfied with its geographical location.

The business manager of the business management company accompanied Jiangbeicheng to visit shops and introduced the unique advantages of Guanghuan Shopping Park.

In addition to its advantages such as geographical location and market positioning, Guanghuan Shopping Park is also a famous internet celebrity check-in spot in Jiangnan City.

There are many tourists coming to check in from both inside and outside the city.

Ensures passenger flow.

Jiang Beicheng nodded after reading it and asked, "How much is the rent?"

The business manager said: "Mr. Jiang, these two floors of single-storey commercial space are slightly more expensive than those in the mall.

The company's rent is 300 per square meter."

The rent is 600 yuan per square meter per month. This single commercial space has an area of ​​nearly 18 square meters, and the monthly rent reaches yuan.

The annual rent is as high as more than two million.

The shopping malls all sign contracts for three to five years.

Not counting the subsequent rent increases, the rent alone will cost tens of millions.

The investment is even greater than Li Ji’s.

If the system did not provide special investment funds, new entrepreneurs like Jiang Beicheng would definitely have to think twice about the investment costs.

After all, no one can guarantee that the North City Hotel will survive.

The investment risk is too high.

The system's special funds can only be used to invest in businesses, so Jiang Beicheng doesn't have so many concerns.

Regardless of whether he makes a profit or a loss, the system's purpose is to cultivate his investment thinking and slowly accumulate experience.

Wherever there is a system, there is the cost of trial and error.

Who made him waste so many years and make no achievements in business?
These are the roads he wants to take.

"How long is the rent-free period?" Jiang Beicheng asked.

"The company's regulation is two months. I have discussed this with Ms. Xu and know that your renovation will take a long time. I can get three months for you," said the business manager.

Jiang Beicheng nodded.

After visiting the shops, walk towards the mall.

"Mr. Jiang, could you please leave your contact information?" the business manager caught up and asked.

Jiang Beicheng said: "Just contact Manager Xu directly."

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, Ms. Xu, you're welcome to help me with anything I need." The business manager came forward to help open the door.

He took the initiative to order two cups of coffee for them.

Jiang Beicheng said to Xu Ru, “The shop is good, but the prices are a bit high.

You can talk to their general manager and get the price down to 270.

Also, find a reliable lawyer to look over the contract.”

"I'll get to it as soon as possible," Xu Ru replied.

"How's Old Wu doing?"

"They are all disciples trained by Old Wu. They are reliable. In addition, Old Wu also invited his senior brother from his hometown to come here. The price he asked is a bit high, an annual salary of 400,000."

Higher than the average salary of peers in Jiangnan City.

But it is not easy to recruit famous chefs from coastal areas.

"Give it!" Jiang Beicheng made the decision immediately.

To pursue high-quality dining, you must first invest in the kitchen. Beicheng Restaurant is not one of those small restaurants or franchises that operate on a tight budget. It is Jiangbei City's flagship high-end business restaurant.

Only after the first store has established its reputation can we talk about expansion and going global.

Jiang Beicheng added, "Whether it's the kitchen or the front hall, including decoration, as long as it's within the budget or even a little bit beyond it, we can do it.

Money can be spent, but I want to see the results.

You've been with my mother for so many years, you know her standards, and her standards are the lowest standards for the North City Hotel."

Xu Ru nodded, certain that Xiao Jiang would always break the Li Ji myth and open a new chapter in Jiangnan City's business catering.

I'm still looking forward to it.

"Mr. Jiang, Ms. Xu, iced American coffee." The business manager came over with coffee.

"Thank you." Jiang Beicheng took the coffee and said with a smile.

He sat for a while and then left. Xu Ru went to the Business Management and Operations Department to talk to the general manager.

Before dinner, Jiang Beicheng received a reply from Xu Ru, saying that the price could not be lowered.

The minimum there is 285.

Jiang Beicheng instructed: "Don't worry, talk slowly.

While negotiating, we should also pay attention to other brands. If there are any competitors, we can sign with them."

What it means is to keep the business management department hanging and test their patience.

In recent years, it has been difficult to do business in the physical world, and even more difficult to do catering. Even the largest catering brands in Jiangnan City would give careful consideration to an investment of tens of millions.

Jiang Beicheng felt that he could grind it off with some effort.

If you sign a contract with a rent of 270, you can save or a year. Wouldn't it be better to give this money to employees?

Xu Ru understood what Jiang Beicheng meant. "Okay, Mr. Jiang, I'll also take a look at the shops in Tianjie and Joy City."

"Well, it's not bad to have two more alternative plans." Jiang Beicheng hung up the phone, changed his clothes and went downstairs to exercise.

……

Xu Ru had been negotiating with the business management company of Guanghuan Shopping Mall for a few days, and when the other party was about to agree, a competitor suddenly appeared.

She hurriedly called Jiang Beicheng.

"Sister Xu, is this good news or bad news?" Jiang Beicheng had just finished a SPA, took a shower, and was lying on the bed wrapped in a bath towel to answer the phone.

"Boss Jiang, the price has been lowered, but they won't sign with us."

Jiang Beicheng frowned slightly, "Who?"

My first guess is that someone is here to disrupt things.

Xu Ru: "Old acquaintance, Chao Niu Hotpot."

Jiang Beicheng laughed, "The Zeng family's father and son are still haunting us."

"Zeng Haifeng wasn't involved. I ran into Zeng Wei at the business management company today. He personally went to talk to the general manager there."

"If we sign it at the original price of 285, is there any hope?" Jiang Beicheng asked.

"It's probably difficult," Xu Ru analyzed, "They are now focusing on the influence of the Chaoniu Hotpot brand.

We are also planning to hold a grand signing and moving-in ceremony.”

Chaoniu Hotpot is indeed very famous in Jiangnan City and has its own traffic.

The shopping mall certainly wants to cooperate with this kind of restaurant, even if it means reducing the rent a little.

Shared passenger flow.

It’s the same as those new businesses offering rent-free service to big brands for one or two years.

Compared to the North City Hotel, which is still under planning, the mall is more willing to give good locations to mature brands.

This is where things get interesting.

Chaoniu Hotpot is taking such a big step, isn’t its capital chain tight?
Does Zeng Wei really need to join Halo?
Or do you want to use your position as the president of the catering association to make it difficult for him to start a business?

Jiang Beicheng didn't think about it carefully. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the catering industry in Jiangnan City, he couldn't avoid Zeng Wei.

Jiang Beicheng asked Xu Ru to continue the discussion to see if there was any room for maneuver, and at the same time to contact for a backup plan.

After finishing the discussion and hanging up the phone, a few minutes later, Zeng Wei called Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beicheng wanted to see what tricks this old fox was playing next?
"Nephew Beicheng, I met Xu Ru at Guanghuan today. I have to explain to you about the matter of the Guanghuan shop, so that you don't misunderstand me..." Zeng Wei opened his mouth with the same polite words.

Jiang Beicheng was tired of listening to him and interrupted him, "Old Zeng, competition is inevitable. You don't have to pretend to be a good person in front of me."
