Chapter 32 Get the storefront
Lucinda took Li Yincheng to the school's graduate dormitory area. A two-story building stands between two six-story dormitory buildings. Lucia's architectural style is full of red brick walls full of ivy. It looks like this building is a bit old. The first floor of the small building is a typing and copy shop and a small supermarket. Follow the stairs next to the small supermarket to go up to the second floor. Exaggerated graffiti sprayed on the wall of the stairs. The door on the second floor was tightly closed. Lucinda took out the key and opened the door. The two of them pushed the door and walked in.
The wall on the second floor has been opened, with a depth of about 12 or 3 meters and a width of about 21 or 2 meters. On the right side of the entrance is a long bar with several sets of tables and chairs scattered in the middle.
"The whole room is 260 square meters, and the rent is 80,000 yuan a year. I rented it for three years, and now it's nearly two years left." Lucinda introduced to Li Yincheng. "I opened a bar here when I was bored last year, but I was complained that the band performing sound was too noisy at night and I was shut down. I've been free here for about three months. You can take a look first, if it's appropriate, just rent it to me."
Li Yincheng consulted Lucinda while checking the rooms around, "Are all the water, electricity and gas networks connected? Is there a flue? Can I make a bathroom? What restrictions does the landlord have on decoration?"
Lucinda leaned against the door with her arms in her arms, "This house belongs to the school, and the decoration must not be able to move the main structure, but there is no limit on soft decoration. I will help you with any problems; the water, electricity and gas are connected, and the Internet requires you to pull it yourself; there is a reserved water and drainage pipe in the corner of the wall, so there is no problem in making the bathroom; there is no flue, so you can only make some simple Western food."
"What should I do if there are these tables and chairs at the bar?" Li Yincheng patted the dust on the sofa. The quality and style of these tables and chairs are good. It can be seen that Lucinda had put some effort into opening a bar before.
"If you like it, I will give it to you. If you don't like it, I will ignore it." Lucinda glanced at the decoration in the room with a little nostalgia.
"Then stay, tell me the price. If it is appropriate, make an appointment with you to bring the relevant documents and we will sign the contract." Li Yincheng patted the dust on his hands and walked to the door and said to her.
"The rent is still 160,000 yuan for two years, and you can give it 200,000 yuan for the transfer fee." Lucinda quoted the price very fair.
"The price is fine. If there is no problem with the documents, I will give you the money after signing the contract. Senior sister, do you want to collect cash or transfer money?" Li Yincheng agreed very simply.
"Just transfer money, I'll give it to you when signing the contract with the account; do you want to see it for a while or leave? If you want to see it, I'll give you the key." Lucinda was about to get the key from her bag.
"No need, I'll find a designer to come and see it together after the contract is signed." After saying that, Li Yincheng went out.
"Okay, I'll prepare all the documents within three days to call you." Lucinda's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia when she closed the door.
Seeing this, Li Yincheng felt moved and had a secret plan in his heart, "Senior sister, let's have a meal together. I just watched it, but I was still hungry."
"Okay, come with me, I'll take you to a good place." Lucinda was not shy at all.
When he arrived at the store, the waiter took Lucinda to the window on the left without waiting for hello. Lucinda ordered dishes without looking at the menu, "A serving of fried broccoli and two bottles of Budweiser. You can do the rest, can you drink wine?" Li Yincheng nodded and indicated that it was OK, then took the menu and ordered two meat, one vegetable and one soup.
After the food and drinks came, Lucinda had a drink with Li Yincheng first, and then started to eat slowly. After drinking two bottles of wine, the meal was almost done. Li Yincheng put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Senior sister, I have an offer, I don't know if you are interested?"
"Say." Lucinda stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the last piece of broccoli on the plate.
"When you sign a contract with a rent of 160,000, I will directly transfer it to your account. When you invest in my store, you will give you 20% of the shares." Without waiting for Lucinda to respond, Li Yincheng continued, "It's not that I'm missing these tens of thousands of yuan. First, I was reluctant to leave this place when I saw you closed the door. Second, I have never opened a store before, and some aspects need an experienced person to help."
Lucinda put down her chopsticks, crossed her hands and looked at Li Yincheng directly, "According to the plan of the store you just told me, the investment of 200,000 yuan is not enough, let alone the rent alone is 160,000 yuan. Isn't I taking a big advantage for 40,000 yuan?"
Li Yincheng spread his hands and smiled, "I didn't think about making a lot of money when I opened this store, I just wanted to have a place for me to play and pass the time. I guess you had a similar idea to me before when I opened a bar. If you want to make money, you won't open a store in school."
Lucinda thought for a while and said, "If you send it as you wanted to do it before, I'm a little interested in participating, but I won't take advantage of you. After the budget comes out, I'll replenish you how much the 20% of the shares are worth."
"Okay, give me the key first. I'll get a business license in the next two days and find a designer to come up with a decoration plan." Li Yincheng responded very simply. People like Lucinda are more straightforward, and pushing them around can only arouse her disgust.
The two of them separated at the door after the hotel. Lucinda went back to prepare the documents. Li Yincheng took a taxi out of the school gate and went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. He found an agency near the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to explain it clearly and left. If the procedures for opening the store were all done by themselves, they might not be able to get it after the store was renovated.
Li Yincheng, the decoration company, had plans last night. In his previous life, he had contacted several old decoration companies in Jincheng due to work. The largest one, which was just started in 2002. He took a taxi downstairs to the office building where the decoration company is located and found the floor where the company is located from the company list in the lobby.
The elevator Li Yincheng took was parked on the 11th floor. At present, the company only occupies two small offices in this office building. Who would have thought that with its advanced design concepts and solid construction quality, the company became the largest decoration company in Shuzhong in just over ten years. In the year when Li Yincheng was reborn, the entire office building became their industry.
After knocking in and telling him about his purpose, Mr. Wang, the boss of the company, welcomed Li Yincheng into his office. Mr. Wang himself was a designer. In the company where Li Yincheng was short of his last life, he wanted to ask him to design the sales office decoration, but in the end, he had to give up regretfully because of Mr. Wang's design fee of up to seven figures. Now he can get a big advantage in designing a coffee shop.
The company was just established, and a coffee shop of more than 200 square meters was already a big business for Mr. Wang. After understanding Li Yincheng's request, Mr. Wang took the initiative to go to the scene immediately.
He returned to the school by Mr. Wang's car, opened the door, and walked in and took two rounds and raised two questions. First, the store was relatively large in area, with a floor height of only three meters and five meters, which looked a bit depressing overall; second, the windows of this Lucia-style old house are relatively small, with poor lighting, and a little dark inside. He also put forward his own suggestions on these two issues. Li Yincheng expressed his satisfaction with Mr. Wang's professional ability. These two issues were also considered before, but the solution he thought was far inferior to Mr. Wang's one-sixth issue. He deserves to be the first designer in Shuzhong in the future.
Li Yincheng gave Mr. Wang three days to come up with a concept plan. After passing the contract, he signed the contract and paid the deposit to start the actual operation. After agreeing, Mr. Wang refused Li Yincheng's invitation to stay for dinner and hurried back to prepare the plan.
On the third day, Lucinda called and made an appointment to meet at a law firm. The two of them verified the relevant documents and signed a contract. In the bank downstairs, Li Yincheng transferred 160,000 yuan to Lucinda. From now on, the right to use the store in the next two years will belong to Li Yincheng, and the first major problem of opening the store has been successfully solved.
