Chapter 375 Opportunity!Shop rent is so cheap
Farewell to Xu Chunfeng, the two walked on the street.
As the second largest city in Sichuan Province, Shuzhou has a lot of traffic on the streets.
Cai Yan said apologetically: "Brother Lin, I really can't help you with archeology."
"It's okay." Lin Ran replied with a smile. He couldn't let Cai Yan threaten the other party.
"Brother Lin, it's still early. Let's go shopping. After dinner, I'll take you back to the guest house."
Shuzhou Museum is located near the scenic spot, and locals like to go shopping and play cards in their leisure time.
Although it is a scenic spot, there are many vacant shops.
Lin Ran looked at the sign for rent on the shop and then at the location.
No one rents such a good location?
It's close to Shu Street, close to the museum, and still in a scenic spot.
Wouldn’t it be beautiful to open a handicraft store?
Where can I find such a good location?
Lin Ran looked around. Except for a shop selling calligraphy and painting, the others were restaurants with no competitors.
At a glance, the traffic is okay.
Just have to confirm the store rental situation.
Cai Yan saw a stall in the distance and said to Lin Ran: "Brother Lin, let's go drink some soda."
The stall was right in front of the shop for rent. Lin Ran thought that if he could set up a stall here, he might know the owner, so he happily agreed.
When the two came to the stall, the stall owner with a white towel on his shoulders greeted them with a smile on his face.
"Boys, what would you like to drink?" he asked diligently.
Because of the hot weather, the two of them were sweating. Cai Yan just wanted to drink a drink, but Lin Ran didn't like soda. He saw the bucket next to him and asked, "Store, where is it?"
"Oh, it's our special water tofu. Do you want to try a bowl?"
Water tofu is similar to tofu nao, except that it is sweeter. In my impression, I have never seen it again after the 21st century.
Lin Ran suddenly became interested, ordered two bowls, and took the initiative to pay the fee.
After the stall owner brought the water tofu.
Lin Ran took a sip, and it was exactly the taste in his memory.
The customers at the table next to them also left. The stall owner finished collecting his things and sat on the small stool next to them.
Lin Ran saw that the timing was perfect, so he asked, "Shop owner, do you know that the shop behind is for rent?"
"Of course it's for rent, isn't there a sign on it?" The stall owner also had no business, so he sat down and chatted with them.
Cai Yan didn't react for a moment. He didn't know about Lin Ran's opening of the store.
Lin Ran didn't panic or cry. While drinking water tofu, he asked: "Stall owner, do you know how much the rent of the shop is?"
Although I want to open a branch, the address is not bad.
But after all, you have to consider the amount of investment, so I want to know the cost.
The stall owner cheered up instantly, flipped through his account book, and then said, "This is my shop. If you want to rent it, I can rent it to you."
"Since you have a shop, why do you still set up a stall at the door?" Lin Ran and Cai Yan asked in confusion.
"It's so hot in the store. On hot days, people prefer to drink cold drinks outside with the breeze blowing." The stall owner said with a smile, "If you are in the store, the cost will increase. Each of you will have to pay a few cents more." Money, I’m afraid I won’t be happy with it.”
He also understands business knowledge and knows how to increase customer acquisition rates by reducing costs.
Although, business doesn't look particularly good.
Lin Ran smiled and said, "Then how cheap is renting a shop?"
"Look at this location. It's graceful and graceful. It's located on the bank of the Shu River. Next to it is the Shuzhou Museum. It's known as the National Shu Embroidery Center. Opening a shop here..."
Speaking of Shu embroidery, the stall owner suddenly remembered something and asked, "I wonder what kind of shop you want to open?"
Cai Yan immediately replied: "We are from the museum, just ask."
Lin Ran asked back: "I wonder what restrictions the shop owner has on the business content?"
"It's like this. I don't want my store to be filled with oil fumes, so I won't rent it to catering people." He is still a pursuer.
If catering can't be done, the interior must be relatively clean, and Lin Ran feels relieved.
"The shop is still brand new. It used to be a Sichuan embroidery shop, but something happened to the boss's family, so he went back early, and it is still empty." The stall owner is also an honest person, and said: "The inside of this shop is [-] square meters. Whether it’s selling Shu embroidery or other souvenirs, even opening a small shop is more than enough.”
Lin Ran already had a general understanding of the store, and then asked: "Then how is the rent calculated?"
The stall owner said casually: "Although the rent is a bit expensive, it costs about 100 yuan a month, but if you pay it on an annual basis, you will only receive 100 yuan a year. Of course, you will pay for the water and electricity bills yourself, and you will pay the sanitation fee if someone collects it." It’s only two or three yuan a month.”
Lin Ran thought to himself: "Are the stores in Shuzhou so cheap?"
He compared the same location in the capital horizontally. If he opened a store next to the Forbidden City Museum, he would definitely not be able to do it without 1 yuan a year.
Although there is a gap in customer flow, the store rent here is too cheap.
I couldn't help but be tempted, why not open a branch here?
At this moment, other customers came to the stall, and the stall owner immediately stood up to receive the guests.
Cai Yan took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Lin, why are you asking about rent? Do you want to open a store?"
"Of course." Lin Ran said.
"Didn't you already join the museum?"
"No." Lin Ran said, "This time it's just a temporary identity assigned to me by the teacher to assist them in archeology."
Lin Ran told Cai Yan the ins and outs of the future and that he was the owner of the Shengshi Craft Shop.
Cai Yan's hand holding the bowl stopped in the air, with an expression of disbelief.
The Shengshi Crafts that caused a sensation in the capital...is the boss behind it actually Lin Ran?
What surprised him even more was that the team leader in charge of handicraft production was none other than Wei Chengbin, who had deceived him back then!
"I didn't expect that he would become your subordinate." Cai Yan sincerely admired Lin Ran. In fact, after Wei Chengbin left, they also considered recruiting Wei Chengbin and letting him do some cultural relic restoration work in the museum.
But later I couldn't find Wei Chengbin's address, so I chose to give up.
He couldn't help but think of showing the cultural relics to them in the museum before, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, it turns out that you have been thinking about handicrafts since then."
Of course Lin Ran would not tell Cai Yan about forging cultural relics and selling them to foreigners.
I passed it over with a careless eye, but there is no need to worry about opening a store for the time being. Since the stores in the scenic area are so cheap, there may be more cost-effective ones in other places.
"You two, do you plan to rent a shop?" The stall owner asked again after greeting other customers!
