Ouyang Zisu originally had a crush on this store, but the rent was much higher than that of another store, and hesitated.

In addition, considering that Zhou Feng had to take out most of the start-up funds, of course he had to ask for his opinions. Now that he had made up his mind, Ouyang Zisu strengthened his idea of ​​renting this store.

Zhou Feng contacted the landlord, but did not bargain, mainly because there was no need for this.

Because he also knew that although this store was rented, it was located on the street of mid-to-high-end clothing stores in Funing City, and the landlord was not worried about renting the store, so there was almost no possibility of cheaper rent.

However, Zhou Feng put forward other conditions to the landlord.

The condition proposed is to sign a five-year contract, the reason is to carry out high-end decoration, and the lease period is too short and not cost-effective. The condition for the landlord is to pay the rent for one year in one lump sum.

Generally, rental contracts are signed once a year or two years, and a small number are signed once a year, and very few are signed once a year every five years.

Why did Zhou Feng sign a five-year contract at one time?

His explanation to Ouyang Zisu was: "With the development of the economy and the increase in consumption levels of people, prices will also increase accordingly, and the water will rise. In this way, the rent of the store will gradually rise."

The rise in store rents in the next few years was indeed not as expected by Zhou Feng.

The landlord often changes tenants when renting this store, which is also a headache. He wishes that the lease period will be longer.

Of course, Zhou Feng didn't guess this idea. Otherwise, there would be no need to compromise with the rent once a year.

Generally speaking, rent is paid once every three months, and the next time is paid one month in advance. However, some tenants often delay rent for various reasons, which makes landlords trouble and often have to urge rent.

Now Zhou Feng is willing to pay the rent for one year in one lump sum, of course he is very happy.

When doing business, you rely on specific operations and slowly accumulate experience in practice.

If Zhou Feng was not anxious at that time, he would first propose a payment method of one half a year to discuss. After the discussion was not completed, he would also like to ask for one year. Anyway, when doing business, the emphasis is on bargaining.

According to Zhou Feng's current economic situation, the rent for one year can be taken out at one time, so there is no big problem.

Both parties were very happy and soon signed a contract. Zhou Feng paid the rent and the landlord gave the key.

After getting the store’s key, I will find a decoration company to perform appropriate decoration. In fact, Zhou Feng is not at all good at decoration. He can only pretend to supervise when he has time, so that the decoration company can do more attentively.

The brand, style, workmanship, purchase price, and positioning of clothing will affect the sales of clothing, and in turn affect the profits of the packaging.

I heard from Ouyang Zisu that in the clothing wholesale market in the provincial capital, there are fewer mid-to-high-end clothing brands, and the styles are not fashionable and elegant. She heard from some people that the clothing market in Guangzhou is very classy.

Zhou Feng contacted Zhou Cheng, who worked and settled in Guangzhou, followed his wife Hong's advice and asked Ouyang Zisu to go to Guangzhou to inspect the clothing market. If you encounter a suitable one, you will introduce it or act as an agent.

Zhou Cheng's wife Hong is a senior white-collar worker in a foreign trade company and needs to use high-end clothing to dress herself up carefully. Therefore, she knows a lot about mid-to-high-end clothing brands of her age and gives Zhou Feng and Ouyang Zisu a lot of advice.

Although computer networks and smartphones have become popular, clothing styles, workmanship, fabrics, purchase prices, etc. still require on-site inspections and face-to-face negotiations.

In order to save time, Zhou Feng suggested that Ouyang Zisu take a plane to Guangzhou directly.

Mingning City is an open coastal city. There are direct flights to Guangzhou, so you don’t need to spend time and energy on transfers.

However, taking a plane to purchase goods is indeed a luxury.

Ouyang Zisu didn't react for a moment because she felt it was a bit incredible to take a plane to Guangzhou to purchase goods.

Zhou Feng patiently explained: "It takes a few hours to go by plane. And taking a train takes at least one day and one night, and it takes too much time to go on the road, and it is hard to work. Our store rent costs more than 1,000 yuan a day. Think about it carefully, which one is more than a cost-effective?"

When Ouyang Zisu heard this, she understood the truth. She felt that Zhou Feng was both smart and capable of accounting, and had great courage, and was even more impressed.

Originally, Zhou Feng and Zhou Cheng were brothers of our family, and their relationship was always good. With Zhou Feng's persuasion and help, Zhou Cheng and Hong returned to harmony.

Just when Ouyang Zisu went to Guangzhou, Xu Yamin called: "Brother Zhou, sorry, I need something to help you."

Zhou Feng has had a second ambiguous contact with Xu Yamin. Now he is afraid of meeting her alone, mainly because he is worried that both parties will not be able to control themselves and will get out of trouble.

But facing her request, he couldn't help but be curious: "Tell me, what happened?"

When Xu Yamin heard that Zhou Feng did not have obvious rejection, he smiled and said, "It's a good thing. Let you be your boyfriend for a few days."

Zhou Feng was shocked when he heard this: "What? Go to be a boyfriend? Your boyfriend?"

Xu Yamin immediately denied: "Brother Zhou, where did you say it? He asked you to be someone else's boyfriend for a few days, and the other party was a young girl."

Zhou Feng felt relieved when he heard that he was not going to be Xu Yamin's boyfriend.

However, he asked in confusion: "Go to be someone else's boyfriend? Is the matchmaking agency also providing such services? Are there other more outrageous services?"

When Xu Yamin heard Zhou Feng get angry, he explained softly: "Brother Zhou, don't be angry, listen to me in detail."

"This is the case. When the young girl came to register, she made a special request, saying that she was forced to get married at home, and was eager to find a temporary boyfriend to deal with it first, and wait until she has a suitable partner in the future."

"Brother Zhou, she is a big beauty. In addition, she is very generous in her actions. The last time you suggested that each member charges 1,000 yuan, and she paid 2,000 yuan directly, saying that this is a special matter and an expedited fee."

"Brother Zhou, I see that she is a beautiful woman and looks very rich. I am afraid that introducing her to others will be detrimental to her, so I thought of you, Brother Zhou. Your age and appearance meet her requirements, so you can meet her."

What he said seemed to be making a profit, but he clearly saw that he was generous in other people's actions.

Humph, it seems that Xu Yamin is completely a fan of money, and Zhou Feng felt a little unhappy.

But I can't refuse her request. After all, my relationship with her is a bit ambiguous, so I can't let my face down and not help.
