1987: Sleepless Tonight

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot, brother-in-law, your supermarket and department store are well decorated, and the house you live in is also very beautifully decorated. Let's see if we can rent the store, and you can help us Take a look, too, and see how it should be decorated." Su Yumei nodded repeatedly.

She paused for a while, looked at Lu Hao, and said kindly, "Brother-in-law, do you have time now?"

She wanted Lu Hao to go over and look at the store now and give some advice on the decoration.

"Let's go and have a look together." Lu Hao nodded and said.

He drove the car and took Su Yumei and Zhang Yongqiang to Liangdao Street Middle School.

About 200 meters away from Liangdao Street Middle School, Lu Hao found a place to park the car, got out of the car, and walked to the store.

Zhang Yongqiang was very puzzled, "Why don't you just drive the car over there, the place is quite wide, and now the students are not out of school, so you can stop the car at will."

"That's right, it would be nice to drive there, and it can scare the boss and make him lower the rent of the store." Su Yumei also said.

They both want to pretend to be a tiger.

"The two of you are thinking about it. If you really want to drive there in a car, the owner of the shop may go back on his word and refuse to sign the contract, or hold his appetite and wait for the price." Lu Hao said, "Originally, the business of his shop is not good. How about subletting to reduce losses, and now suddenly a boss comes by with a car and wants to rent his shop, he will wonder if the shop is of any value, he has not realized that renting it out by himself will not Will it be a disadvantage?"

"I definitely don't want to sublet, or procrastinate and negotiate the price, which will delay the two of you doing business."

! !

Su Yumei and Zhang Yongqiang were stunned.

There are so many things to pay attention to when doing business!

Lu Hao took Zhang Yongqiang and Su Yumei to the rented shop, and the boss was there.

This place was originally a small restaurant, and there are other small restaurants next to it. They are doing business for students and their parents. There are more than a dozen shops connected, and five or six of them are restaurants. The competition is huge, and the boss can't continue. Intended to sublease to reduce losses.

"A board horse day, seeing that I was in the restaurant business and made money, these gangsters followed suit, not counting opening one restaurant, but opening five or six restaurants in a row, and made my business go away. Well, in my opinion, they won't be able to do it for long, and they will all collapse." The boss talked about the reason for subletting, and cursed.

He blushed and had a thick neck, and he was still facing the direction of several restaurants, so he was not afraid of being heard.

Really angry.

Lu Hao smoked a cigarette and didn't speak.

It's all too common.

With the liberalization of the individual economy, more and more people are doing business, but most of them are doomed not to be able to do high-end and creative businesses, and most of them can only sell clothes and open restaurants.

And for the sake of insurance, most of them see other people doing business to make money, and they do it themselves, and they have to do the same business next to the place where others do business.

Even if they know that opening several identical stores together will affect each other and make less money, they are still willing to do so because they have no confidence in themselves, nor in other locations. Seeing that this place makes money, Just wanted to do business with this place.

In the end, there was no business to do.

Doing the same kind of business is sometimes positive. In many villages, relatives bring relatives, friends bring friends, and they run the same kind of business, such as decoration, restaurants, clothing, farming, etc., but this kind of business faces a wider group of customers , and this shop that is about to be sublet is facing a different situation, and the customer base is limited.

With Lu Hao standing by, helping out with a word or two from time to time, the contract was quickly signed, and it was even cheaper than the original price.

The owner of the restaurant was very happy. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Lu Hao, "The school is next to it. There are nearly 3000 teachers and students together. Many parents will come here too early in the morning, including many teachers. It’s too early, there are residents next to it, and there are quite a lot of people eating.”

"If you open a restaurant, you will definitely be able to make money. I don't make money. It's because I have other things to deal with. A sudden accident happened at home and I can't get away. Otherwise, I will definitely continue to open a restaurant in such a good place. How could it be so fast and so cheap to transfer out?"

As soon as the man left, Su Yumei scolded, "It's not a thing. When we first came here, he was still scolding the street, saying that a street was full of restaurants, and that he was robbed of his business and let him run it." If we don’t go on, after signing the contract and paying the money, we will tell us that the restaurant business is easy to do, and that we will definitely make a lot of money.”

She looked at Lu Hao, "Brother-in-law, what you said is not bad at all, this person is not honest at all, no wonder the business can't go on, let me see, I'm afraid there is no shortage of stealing and cheating in business on weekdays, so the shops you open need transfer."

Su Yumei probably forgot that she also had similar behaviors, but her words were not completely wrong.

The first one to start a restaurant business in this neighborhood, even if someone followed suit, robbed the business, and took away some customers, it would not cause the business to fail.

The inability to operate, the intensified competition is one reason, and the other reason must be itself.

"I will send someone to come over for the renovation, but you two have to pay the renovation fee on time, how much money was spent, and what materials were used. I will ask someone to make a list for you. If you have any opinions, please mention them as soon as possible. Don't wait. Change your mind after doing half of it," Lu Hao said.

"You don't need to show us what you want, we trust you." Zhang Yongqiang said, "You can decorate as you say, and you can wholesale whatever stationery you want."

He simply became the hands-off shopkeeper, and handed over the problems of decoration and wholesale of stationery to Lu Hao.

"Leave it to me to make the decision? Are you afraid that the business will lose money then?" Lu Hao asked.

"You are willing to help us find ways to make money, and you are also willing to help us contact the teachers and leaders of the school. How can we lose money?" Su Yumei said, "Mom told me that she asked us to give you dividends, but you didn't agree. Part of the reason is that you still don’t trust me and Yongqiang, and believe in Jiangang more, we can understand, but I guess there is another reason, that is, you don’t like this business, you have many ways to make money, You can make a fortune with just a few pointers.”

"If you don't understand, just follow your instructions. We are only responsible for sitting in the store. When someone comes to buy something, we collect the money and give him the item. For the rest, brother-in-law, you can do whatever you want. "

After being beaten, Su Yumei's mind brightened a lot.
