Chapter 27 Yi, The Little Bargainer, Feng(1/2)
Yi Feng and Wang Tie bought two old popsicles on the roadside, and while eating, they went shopping to find shops.
The Tianhe City business district is quite large, and there are also shops for transfer and rent, but they are all shops along the street and the prices are quite expensive.
The monthly rent of any shop of about 50 square meters is about 1,000 yuan, and the location is even less than 500 yuan per month.
There is no way, it is located in the prime location in the center of Guangshi, and the price is generally this.
This price scared Wang Tie.
He thought the store rent was only about a hundred yuan, but he didn't expect it to be hundreds or thousands!
"My God, this price is too expensive, more than I imagined... I thought it was about a hundred yuan!" Wang Tie said in shock.
"It's a hundred yuan, but it's just that the price along the street is too expensive. We don't need to rent a shop along the street." Yi Feng said, licking the old popsicle.
"Then where should we rent?"
“In the alley.”
But for Yi Feng's computer repair points, there is no need for shops located along the street. It is very cost-effective to choose these locations.
In Yi Feng's idea, computer repair shops only need to be in the business district, because public transportation to the city center is convenient, and there are office buildings and high-end communities around the business district.
These users are accurate. Their demand for computer repair is stable. They don’t just go shopping and come to repair it when they see a computer repair shop.
But after the computer has problems, the first thing I think of is there a computer repair shop nearby, and how to solve the needs of repairing your computer easily and quickly.
So Yi Feng took Wang Tie to the alleys along the street.
The commercial atmosphere along the streets and alleys is not strong, and there is no crowd. Most of them are their own shops of residents who built their own houses nearby.
The lower the price of the alley at the end of Tianhe Road.
The price of alley shops in the front section of Tianhe Road is about 500 yuan per month, but the price has dropped to about 200 yuan per month by the middle and final sections.
This price is acceptable to Yi Feng.
The two of them went back and forth between the middle and the tail three times, and recorded all the shops with appropriate rents, and after repeated comparisons and considerations.
Yi Feng finally chose a shop about 100 meters ahead of the entrance to the Alley of Baxiang.
This shop is a newly vacant first-floor self-built house with no transfer fee, and the monthly rent is 230 yuan per month.
Wang Tie turned his head back and forth and looked around. There was no pedestrian here, and it was very deserted.
"Brother Feng, we really want to choose this store? It's so deserted. Will no one come?" Wang Tie asked worriedly.
Yi Feng smiled and said, "It's better to be a little quieter, and the rental price can be cheaper."
"Don't worry, after the store is ready, as long as the publicity is done, customers will come to you."
"And you see, there is a high-end coffee shop on the side of the road at the entrance of the alley. People entering and leaving such high-end coffee shops must have relatively high incomes. It is normal to have a computer at home. As long as we find a way to promote it there, the effect will definitely be good!"
Wang Tie looked in the direction he pointed, and there was indeed a well-decorated coffee shop along the street at the entrance of the alley.
Unexpectedly, Brother Feng even considered this coffee shop!
Brother Feng’s thinking is really not something we can compare with!
Wang Tie secretly admired him.
"No. 100, Lane 8, there is a contact number on it." Yi Feng walked into the empty store to check.
This is the third time he has seen it. The store is not big, about 50 square meters, and it is empty inside, with nothing, and white walls on all sides.
There is a chair at the door with the landlord's phone number and rent information.
Mobile phones are not particularly popular among the public nowadays. They sell the best, and the cheapest Nokia 3310 costs 1,500 yuan.
Nowadays, working people generally have a monthly salary of only three or four hundred yuan, and they may not save up 1,000 yuan a year. Mobile phones are pure luxury goods.
What's more, after 2000, state-owned enterprises ushered in major reforms, and factories were closed or merged. More than 30 million laid-off workers were added to the country at once, and they could only seek a way to survive. Now it is the time when the storm is coming, and ordinary families dare not consume casually.
Yi Feng’s home doesn’t even have a landline, and when he wants to use it, he borrows Gu Muxi’s landline.
Gu Xingzhong, who only has the deputy director of Gu Muxi's family, has a Nokia 3310 mobile phone, which is convenient for business contact.
Nowadays, those who can afford mobile phones and pay phone bills are basically from relatively good families. Generally, working families either install landlines at home or use telephone booths that can be found everywhere on the roadside outside.
Yi Feng also wants to buy a mobile phone and a computer, but now he doesn’t have enough money.
"Let's go, Tiezi, let's go to the phone booth to call the landlord." Yi Feng waved.
When I arrived at a telephone booth along the street, there were five or six people waiting in line to make a call. Yi Feng was lined up behind the line and took out a 30-degree IC card. This thing is the best-selling thing now.
It was Yi Feng's turn to wait in line for about half an hour.
When he approached the phone booth, Yi Feng inserted the IC card, and the balance was also displayed on it.
He took out his laptop and called the landlord.
After the phone beeps a few times, a woman's impatient voice came from.
"Hey, who?"
Yi Feng could still hear the crackling sound of mahjong playing on the phone.
"You are the landlord of Shop No. 100, Lane 8. I want to rent a shop and want to see your shop." Yi Feng said bluntly.
"Oh? Rent a shop? OK, wait for me!" A slightly excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
The two made an appointment to meet at the shop door.
After hanging up the phone, Yi Feng and Wang Tie were waiting at the door of the shop. After a while, a middle-aged aunt wearing a floral skirt came over from the end of the alley.
"Do you want to rent a house?" The middle-aged aunt looked Yi Feng up and down with slender eyes, a little uncertain.
Because Yi Feng is too young, he is like a high school student, not like an adult in business.
"Yes, sister." Yi Feng whispered the elder sister, which made the middle-aged aunt smile a little more.
This young man is really good at speaking!
She opened the doors and pushed them open: "Come in and take a look. It's still an empty shop and there is no transfer fee."
"And the rent is only 230 yuan, which is very cheap."
Yi Feng smiled slightly and said, "It seems that it is OK. Does it have all the water and electricity?"
The middle-aged aunt replied: "It's complete, there's a kitchen inside, and you can cook."
"By the way, what business do you two young people want to rent a shop?"
"Inform in advance, my shop can't do messy business!"
Yi Feng smiled and said, "We want to build a computer repair shop. We just learn this and want to earn some craftsmanship money."
“Computer Repair Shop?”
"I really can't tell that you are so young and know this skills." The middle-aged aunt said in surprise.
"There is nothing to teach yourself." Yi Feng answered while carefully checking the water and electricity details in the store.
After walking around, I found that there was nothing wrong with it, but the decoration was very average and there was no gift at all.
Wang Tie looked excited and looked very satisfied with the shop.
Yi Feng pulled his sleeves, making him calm his expression.
Wang Tie quickly imitated Yi Feng's appearance and raised his face.
"How is it, young man, my shop is good, I tell you, it would be great to rent a shop like me for 230 yuan a month!"
"If I missed this village, I wouldn't have this shop!" The middle-aged aunt emphasized the scarcity of the shop and wanted Yi Feng to settle it as soon as possible.
Yi Feng shook his head, pretending to be unsatisfied, and said, "It looks okay, but there is no furniture inside, there is not even a table or chair, and the decoration is a bit rough."
"The most important thing is that this alley is too remote and deserted. Now there is no personal figure on weekends, so this location is really not good."
"Sister, I think this shop is really expensive for 230 yuan."
"Let's consider it, please come and go."
As he said that, Yi Feng turned around and was about to leave.
The middle-aged aunt looked anxious. The shop has been on for more than three months but has not been rented out. It is because the alley is too deserted and there are no people. After finally waiting for someone to rent it, how could she miss the opportunity like this?
"Hey, young man, this price is really low. Are you sure you won't rent it?"
Yi Feng turned around and thought for a moment: "This place is too far off. It's still rented at 230 yuan per month, and it doesn't feel worth the price."
"Let's take a look."
"Wang Tie, we're leaving."
"Okay Brother Feng!" Wang Tie responded and followed him to go out.
The middle-aged aunt became even more anxious and hurriedly caught up and shouted, "Young man, don't rush to leave. Then how much do you think is suitable? We can talk about it!"
As soon as Yi Feng walked out of the door, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then turned around and said, "I think this shop costs 150 yuan a month."
The middle-aged aunt was stunned and said in surprise: "150 yuan? I am a 50-square-meter shop, which is too low! Could it be done!"
"Young man, why are you bargaining like this?"
