Back To 2005

"Why did you ask the landlord to come over?"

Wang Xiaoxiao asked curiously when going downstairs.

She also read the rental contract just now, which clearly stated that the lessee can transfer the store at will during the lease period, and the landlord will not interfere.

When the time comes, just come over and say hello to the landlord.

In addition, if she wants to ask about the rent, Wang Xiaoxiao doesn't think her high school classmates will lie to her in this regard. After all, it is clearly stated in the lease contract.

"Buy a house."

"..."

On the way here, Zhou Anan had already asked his beautiful secretary to contact Manager Feng, the Anleju real estate agent who had helped him handle the house purchase. Then he found the owner of this small low-rise shop and proposed... an acquisition.

Do I need to pay rent to open a clothing store?

Of course, if he buys it, he will be Miss Wang's landlord.

The rent still has to be paid, but in the future, Miss Wang's store plan will definitely not be bankrupted due to unexpected events such as rent increase or resale.

"Mr. Zhou, this is Ms. Gu, the owner of this house. This is Mr. Zhou who is interested in buying it."

Seeing the big boss coming down, Feng Yujia, manager of the Anleju branch in Hangzhou, quickly stepped forward and introduced the middle-aged woman next to him.

This big boss who spends a lot of money is their super VIP, and if he wants to sell the properties in his hands, he will get a huge commission.

"Hello, Ms. Gu."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Seeing the other party's demeanor, the middle-aged woman had a kind smile on her face.

She didn't want to sell this house with an annual rent of more than 200,000 yuan, but the other party's price was too high for her to refuse.

Well, when I met a young girl who previously rented a house and opened a clothing store and was willing to pay 30,000 yuan for a month's rent, I was lucky.

Under normal circumstances, her house that is not facing the street only costs 200,000-250,000 yuan per year, and the market price for sale is only about 3 million yuan.

But the other party directly offered a high price of 4 million, and it was a one-time payment, which was really irresistible.

With this money, she could buy two shops of the same area in other streets in Hangzhou, and the combined rent would be over 300,000 yuan.

"Ms. Gu, Manager Feng has told you the price. If there is no problem, we will sign the contract."

When it comes to buying a house, Zhou Anan is an experienced expert and gets right into the topic.

The agency has done due diligence, so you don’t have to worry about any disputes, it’s just a little extra commission.

Is it that little money short of buying a house for someone this week?

"OK."

Ms. Gu also likes facing such straightforward buyers.

Most importantly, she also wanted to get the full cash quickly to invest elsewhere.

After all, the price of a house in Hangzhou is now one price per day. Unfortunately, the price of this kind of non-street shop cannot rise. Otherwise, she would not be willing to sell it so early.

"Xiaoxiao, does your boyfriend buy directly from the store?"

The young girl standing next to Wang Xiaoxiao looked at the people sitting on the sofa signing the contract and asked in shock.

When the other party first came in, Xu Xiaozhang thought that the other party was ordinary, but when he was with Wang Xiaoxiao, who was now very beautiful, he felt a little high.

But seeing how the other party was now buying a store as soon as he made a move, she suddenly discovered that the other party had many shining points, and now she felt very mature and steady when looking at him.

Sure enough, all the beautiful female classmates are looking for rich boyfriends.

I wonder how Yu Xianer, who often hangs out with Wang Xiaoxiao, is doing now?

Did you also find a rich boyfriend?

However, when she returns to her hometown in Wencheng for a blind date this time, she must find a reliable man with material foundation. Women who have been emotionally hurt no longer expect love.

"Maybe."

Hearing the name Xu Xiaozhu said, Wang Xiaoxiao subconsciously wanted to explain, but stopped before he spoke. Anyway, no one else could hear it.

As for the groundless speculations in the minds of her high school female classmates, she was even less interested.

Well, if An Xiaodi buys this store and the landlord she leases is replaced by another person, she will be more confident in opening this clothing store.

If business is not good and you can't pay the rent, you won't be kicked out, right?

Hahaha.

"By the way, what are you going to do after you take over this store?"

Seeing that there was no risk in transferring the store, Xu Xiaozhang asked her high school female classmates about their plans.

You know, she has opened this clothing store for more than half a year. At the beginning, she was ambitious to start her own business in Hangzhou, the provincial capital, but she lost most of the entrepreneurial fund given by her parents.

If Wang Xiaoxiao, a female high school classmate, hadn't helped to take care of the situation, she would have gone bankrupt, and she wouldn't have had any discretionary funds when she returned to her hometown in Wencheng.

"Keep opening a clothing store."

Regarding this question, Wang Xiaoxiao answered without thinking.

However, she did not say that she would clear out all the low-end clothes here and replace them with high-end clothes from big foreign brands, customized clothes, etc. That would not be very friendly to this female high school classmate who had just failed in business and was frustrated.

After being reminded by Brother An just now, Wang Xiaoxiao already had a very clear idea in his mind.

Backed by the big platform of Blue Whale Entertainment, it is also a big market to take out the haute couture clothing that the company's female stars have used once and sell it as second-hand clothes. Anyway, female artists will basically not wear the haute couture clothing that they have worn once in public. the second time.

Add some new high-end products and some brand-name bags, use them yourself if you like, and sell the rest, perfect.

"The flow of people here is not small, but the business of clothing stores seems not to be easy."

Facing the sincere-looking female high school classmate, Xu Xiaozhuang, who felt guilty, still felt that she should tell her the actual situation.

When she transferred the shop before, she said that because she was moving back to her hometown for development and the prosperous shop was being transferred, leaving aside the remaining months of rent, the cost of transferring the clothes was not small at all, and the transfer fee was calculated based on the highest sales price.

When the other party actually opened a clothing store, she found that the business was not as good as she said, and the friendship between classmates may be gone.

The other party has such a rich young rich second generation. She may have the opportunity to ask him for help in the future, so she still has to retain some goodwill.

"It's okay. Anyway, I just open a clothing store as a side job."

Waving her hand, Wang Xiaoxiao magnanimously refused to irritate her high school female classmate whose business failed.

For her, this investment of more than 200,000 yuan was only half a year's salary, not to mention the year-end dividend.

Now that she thinks about her own high-end clothing store, her heart is ready to move.

"All right."

Seeing what Wang Xiaoxiao said, the joy of successfully withdrawing funds from the transfer took over, and Xu Xiaozhang did not say much.

That's right, with such a rich boyfriend, this female high school classmate shouldn't care about such a small loss.

What's more, besides calculating the clothing transfer fee a bit higher, she also didn't calculate the store transfer fee with the other party, so it wasn't too deceiving.

"Ms. Gu, I'll ask you to make a trip tomorrow."

Soon, Zhou Anan, who signed the contract and paid a deposit of 300,000 yuan, said to the original landlord with a smile.

Nominally speaking, he is already the new landlord of this store. He is just waiting for the other party and the intermediary holding his power of attorney to complete the transfer procedures tomorrow.

I bought this small two-story store for 4 million yuan. Although it was a million yuan premium over the market price, it would be worth it in two years.

In ten years or so, he can still earn a small 2 million yuan, and he will not lose money.

"It should."

Ms. Gu, who had received the deposit, was all smiles and didn't find it troublesome at all. She was going to look at other houses with the agency manager tomorrow.

This kind of intermediary company entrusted by young rich people is absolutely correct and reliable.

"Okay, I will be your new landlord from now on."

After seeing off Manager Feng and the two, Zhou Anan came to Miss Wang and said with a smile.

"Landlord, please take good care of me in the future."

After hearing Xiaodi An's words, Wang Xiaoxiao smiled playfully and reached out to shake hands.

"Have you guys agreed? If so, let's go have a supper together."

After taking a look at the female classmate whose appearance was not bad but who was relatively ordinary compared to Miss Wang, Zhou Anan's eyes did not stop at all, and her eyes always fell on the beautiful Miss Wang.

This female classmate is slightly inferior to Miss Wang in terms of appearance, figure, dimples, and clothing. Overall, there is no comparison.

It seems that he didn't see Miss Wang at her last high school reunion. After all, the other party's dressing style was quite conspicuous.

"Okay. Xiaozhu, are you okay?"

"never mind."

"Then let's have a supper together."

It's not suitable to eat barbecue on a hot day, nor is it suitable to eat hot pot in full swing. I'm tired of the Hong Kong-style refreshments in the coastal teahouse. The Nine-day Crab, which specializes in seafood, is good.

Not to mention anything else, it is mainly high-end and high-end, expensive, and the per capita consumption starts at 1,000.

Inviting Miss Wang and her frustrated female classmate who is about to leave Hangzhou to have a late-night snack, of course, can't be too low-end.

In addition, the oysters, sea cucumbers, and scallops here are very good. The price is not the focus of Feng Erdai’s recommended late-night snack spot.

"Xiaoxiao, does your boyfriend usually take you to these places to eat? I really envy you. People like me can only look at them at the door."

While the young rich man driving the Maserati went to the bathroom, Xu Xiaozhang asked quietly.

She just looked at the prices on the menu, and almost all of them were in the three-digit range, and the main dishes were even in the four-digit range.

This late-night snack was at least worth her food expenses for more than half a month.

On weekdays, Wang Xiaoxiao was a quiet person in high school. I didn't expect to have such a blessing after graduating from college. It's true that we have different fates.

"It's okay. I eat whatever he usually eats. I don't choose."

Without Brother An, Wang Xiaoxiao didn't resist at all when he heard someone mention his boyfriend's identity.

Anyway, it's not like An Xiaodi has never been asked to pretend to be a boyfriend before, so there is no need for any mental burden, but it would be more troublesome to explain.

Not wanting to discuss these topics, Wang Xiaoxiao asked the other party instead: "Why didn't I see you at the last class reunion?"

"What's the point of going to a class reunion like that? It's just to watch Wang Hao, Kong Lumeng and other rich second generations pretend to compete. For someone like me, my college entrance exams were average, and I didn't have any formal jobs after graduation, so naturally I had no interest in getting my own money. Its a disgrace.”

Speaking of this, Xu Xiaozhang had a melancholy look on his face, and naturally he would not say that he was having a close relationship with his boyfriend at the time and was being pestered by the other person so he could not go.

However, what she said actually had a lot of truth in it. When I was diving in the TT group of high school classmates, I often saw those people bragging about it.

If she were in Wencheng, Xu Xiaozhang would at least have some confidence in her appearance. After all, she was considered a class beauty in junior high school.

It's just that when I went to high school in Hangzhou, there were many famous, rich, powerful and stylish girls. Xu Xiaozhang, whose family background was pretty good in her hometown, became a relatively common female classmate.

Which girl would like a situation where there is no sense of superiority and you have to look up to others.

"You are thinking too much. We are all high school classmates and we don't look at people like this."

Wang Xiaoxiao has never been exposed to this kind of contempt chain. Thinking about Kong Lumeng and others who often want to invite her to go shopping, Wang Xiaoxiao doesn't feel so exaggerated.

It seems that those people are quite warm and friendly.

"You have such an excellent boyfriend and a best friend like Yu Xian'er, so naturally you won't have feelings for someone like me..."

When talking about his feelings since graduating from college, Xu Xiaozhang was full of self-pity.

It wasn't until the young rich second generation came back that she quickly stopped the topic to avoid being looked down upon.

"what's the topic?"

Naturally, he sat next to Miss Wang. Zhou Anan saw the waiter bringing juice, and personally placed the orange juice in front of Miss Wang, while he took the watermelon juice.

Another female classmate’s juice was served by the waiter.

When men do things outside, they must distinguish priorities.

"You two have a really good relationship. I was just telling Xiaoxiao about how you two get along."

Looking at Wang Xiaoxiao who was being carefully cared for with envy, Xu Xiaozhang took the pomegranate juice and spoke in time to answer the other party's question.

"Yeah?"

After taking a look at Miss Wang, Zhou Anan didn't ask any questions and just acted as a low-key listener and diner.

After listening to Miss Wang chatting about interesting high school stories during the meal, Zhou Anan, who drank a small glass of red wine, naturally did not drive again, but drove the high school female classmate back in a Mercedes-Benz.

Seeing another luxury car and a young rich second generation being picked up by a driver, Xu Xiaozhang could no longer complain about the huge gap between the two.

"goodbye."

"goodbye."

After getting off the car at the rental complex and standing there looking at the taillights of the Mercedes-Benz in the distance, Xu Xiaozhu suddenly felt that the summer night was a little cold.

"See you later, little lady."

"See you."

After sending Miss Wang back to the villa in Nanzhouyuan, Zhou Anan did not leave the community. Instead, she came to Building 1 and took the elevator directly upstairs.

"drop."

At the door of Room 1111, Zhou Anan used the password to open the door. After walking through the entrance, he saw the beauty sitting on the sofa in the living room slowly standing up.

Different from the somewhat strange aesthetic of the organizers of the Condor Festival, Shi Shi's Condor Goddess costume this time was completely sponsored and designed by the company, which spent millions of dollars.

The gold glitters with the brilliance of gemstones, and the decent slim-fitting design shows Shi Shi's figure to the fullest. With her good looks, she looks like a goddess in golden fairy clothes who has fallen into the world.

"Does my clothes look good?"

Noticing the fire in the young boss's eyes, the golden-clad goddess slowly approached and asked softly.

"nice."

"Don't break it"

…

As a high-quality entertainment company, several TV series were selected for the Condor Awards last year, with a large number of winners. Blue Whale Entertainment directly booked first-class and business-class seats on a Xiamen Airlines flight from Hangzhou to Nanhu.

Since General Manager Feng sat next to him, Zhou Anan avoided the problem of who to be closer to and treated the female artists in the company equally.

It is not easy to keep a bowl of water level.

"You said that after the Condor Festival was changed to once every two years, the style has returned. In the past two years, a Condor Goddess has been created, and it has a tendency to become popular. It should be no problem if we create a TV festival. "

When the plane entered the stratosphere, Feng Jiming put down his earbuds and turned to ask the major shareholder a few meters away.

"Don't think about dividing the cake and satisfying everyone. Taking into account the opinions of the audience can achieve this. It should be feasible."

Zhou Anan quite agrees with General Manager Feng's idea of ​​constantly creating brilliance.

As far as domestic TV festivals are concerned right now, you either want to share the cake and everyone will be happy;

Either imitate foreigners and award awards to some literary films that the audience doesn’t even know about.

In the long run, the audience was very disappointed. It had no great influence at all, and the live TV ratings were getting worse year by year.

"You also agree, why has there been no response to the cooperation invitation sent by our company to the celebrity group?"

After hearing the approval from the major shareholder, Feng Jiming directly asked the other party about the person behind the celebrity group.

No matter how conceited Feng Jiming was, he would never think of relying on Blue Whale Entertainment alone to support a TV show, so he set his sights on a celebrity group with a net worth of tens of billions.

With the bond of a major shareholder, the cooperation between the two companies should be more pleasant.

As a result, he asked someone to send him a cooperation letter, but after a week, there was still no response.

"Has the celebrity group received an invitation to cooperate?"

Turning to ask the beautiful secretary not far away, Zhou Anan asked with some confusion.

He does not directly manage the company's operations. He doesn't pay attention to some small things and only focuses on the general direction of the company.

"Yes, but Mr. Qi and the others think that the celebrity group already has an annual WeChat Night, so there is no need to spend money on a TV festival that has little profit."

Upon hearing the big boss's question, Huang Ying quickly recalled the relevant information from her mind and answered quickly and concisely.
