Life in the world of film and television

Chapter 57 Taking Over the Cafe

After chatting with Ding Xiaoxue for a while, watching her leave with her waist twisted, Li Mu carefully looked at the layout and decoration of the entire coffee shop. It is exquisite and tasteful, and looks very eye-catching.
Suddenly, he felt itchy. If the price is right, he can take over by himself. The atmosphere here makes him feel very comfortable.

During this period of time, he suddenly felt that going to work was not very interesting. He was busy with the company's trivial matters every day, and he was instigated by others. He didn't care about the salary, so he could resign.

If you are afraid of being idle after resigning, you can find something to do for yourself, this coffee shop is not bad.

It's fine to resign in the future, and it's good to come here often to read books and drink coffee.It's okay to lose a little money. For him now, money is not so difficult to obtain.

If necessary, if you encounter a suitable film and television world in the future, just do more.

While drinking coffee, he was admiring the layout of the cafe, and he even planned in his mind to add something.

The door of the coffee shop opened again, and two people walked in one after the other.

Walking in front was Liu Ming, the owner of this coffee shop, in his 30s, wearing black-rimmed glasses, gentle.

While walking, he said: "Mr. Zhang, this is the third time we have visited, this time you must give me an accurate word, I really can't afford to delay here."

Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "Brother Liu, don't worry! Business is for negotiation, so you can't make a decision just once or twice. If you talk about it, it will be a deal!"

Liu Ming said helplessly: "You know the situation on my side, and I don't want to delay any longer. We can't reach an agreement this time, so I can only contact other people."

Mr. Zhang glanced at him and said, "Brother Liu, I will definitely give you an answer to what you said."

He said with a half-smile and said: "Besides, this coffee shop is not bad, but the location is too remote. There are few customers, which means it is difficult to make a profit."

"In addition to me willing to talk to you, I can find a few who are willing to talk to you."

Liu Ming's tone was stagnant when he heard the words, and his expression was not very good. What he said was correct.The information about the transfer of the coffee shop has been posted for almost a month, and there are only two people who have this intention. The previous offer was too low, and he has clearly rejected it.

Only Mr. Zhang was left, procrastinating, keeping his appetite.

The two walked around the coffee shop again, Mr. Zhang was still smiling, and praised the decoration and style of the coffee shop from time to time.

Just don't mention the transfer fee.

Liu Ming finally lost his patience.

"Mr. Zhang, please give me a good word. If you can, we will sign the contract; if not, you can only cooperate again when you have the opportunity."

This time, Mr. Zhang put away his perfunctory attitude and became serious with a rare expression. He first stretched out three fingers, and then made a gesture of eight with two fingers.

"38, this is the most sincere offer I have made after I have been investigating the coffee shop for so long."

"If you agree, let's sign the contract now; if you feel less, then I can only apologize."

Liu Ming's face was full of bitterness, he shook his head, and said in disappointment: "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, the gap between your quotation and my ideal price is too big. Let's cooperate again in the future."

Mr. Zhang asked curiously: "What's the lowest price in your mind?"

Liu Ming was silent for a while, and then said: "It can't be less than 50."

Boss Zhang shook his head.

"It's a bit high. It's very difficult to sublet out at this price, unless you are willing to wait a few more months to try your luck."

Liu Ming said unwillingly: "I invested more than 170 million in this coffee shop. Although the business is not good, it is impossible that even 50 is not worth it."

"Not to mention spending a lot of money on decoration, I can sell all kinds of decorations, tables, chairs, sofas, appliances, and second-hand ones for two to three hundred thousand."

"Not to mention subletting the entire storefront, 50 yuan is not enough."

Mr. Zhang shook his head.

"Business is not calculated in this way. A business that is still losing money has been greatly discounted in value. Besides, if you don't keep any benefits, who is willing to take over, what if you lose your hands?"

Seeing Liu Ming's silence, Mr. Zhang smiled heartily: "38, this offer has always been valid. If Brother Liu has figured it out, he can directly ask me to sign the contract."

"Let's come here today, goodbye."

He nodded at everyone and turned to leave.

Watching Mr. Zhang leave, Liu Ming sat on the chair with a dejected expression, full of frustration.

It seems that I am not suitable for business, so let's go back to work.Lost a house, the family is also a little injured, it is a lesson.

He sighed for a while, and suddenly a figure sat down opposite him, and at the same time, a voice came from his ear.

"How about 45? I'll take it over."

Boss Liu was taken aback for a moment, and looked up, a young man with a good temperament was sitting there, looking at him with a smile at the moment.

"You mean?"

Li Mu said: "45, I will take over this store. If you agree, you can sign the contract today; if you don't agree, forget it."

Liu Ming struggled for a moment, thought about Mr. Zhang's words, then looked up at Li Mu, gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind.

"Okay, 45, this store is transferred to you."

Li Mu smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Pleasant to work with."

Liu Ming also reached out and shook his hand.

"Pleasant to work with."

……

Afterwards, Li Mu called a lawyer, Liu Ming also called a lawyer, and the landlord also came.

After signing the contract and transferring money, the coffee shop officially became Li Mu's property.

After the handover, Liu Ming announced the matter to the public. Other than that, Ding Xiaoxue, the waiter who chatted with Li Mu in the morning, opened her mouth so much that an egg could be stuffed in it.

The customer who chatted with him in the morning has now become her boss. The change is too fast, like a dream.

After handing over, Liu Ming sighed lightly and left in a hurry.

……

Afterwards, Li Mu formally met with the staff of the coffee shop.

There were seven people in total. The store manager, Ji Han, was a young mature woman in her 30s. She wasn't pretty, but she had a good temperament, was neat and neat, and had good wrists.

I have worked in Starbucks for several years, as the deputy store manager, and later as the store manager at Coffee Wing.

She was recruited by Liu Ming with a high salary to manage the coffee shop. She thought it was an opportunity, but who knew it was a trap.

Generally speaking, Li Mu is satisfied with her and intends to keep her as the store manager.

There are six employees left, one cashier is responsible for cash; two producers are responsible for making coffee and some drinks; the remaining three are waiters.

With a business area of ​​more than 200 square meters, seven people are not too many.But the business is deserted, too much is useless.

……

At noon, Li Mu simply invited the seven of them to have a meal, so they were familiar with each other.I also know a lot about the past operating conditions of the coffee shop.

The operating cost of the coffee shop is not high, mainly rent costs and employment costs.

Due to the low flow of people and low popularity, the rent of the store is not high, [-] per month for a place of [-] square meters; the employment cost is only seven of them, about [-] per month.

This is a fixed monthly expense for the cafe.

Although it has been losing money, it is not that exaggerated. It is only about [-] to [-] per month, and sometimes it does not exceed [-].

If you lose, you lose. Li Mu didn't expect the coffee shop to make money, so he just treated it as a place for leisure and entertainment to pass the time.

What if it becomes popular in the future?
