rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 274 Erase

Somewhat different from later, there are actually very few private shops these days.

In particular, Chen Li requested stores near universities. Often these stores are either owned by real estate development companies or owned by the universities where they are located.

Of course, it’s not that there are no private stores, they just account for a smaller proportion.

In addition, the Ouzhou real estate speculators in China have not yet flourished, so private purchase shops are almost exclusively used for work.

These days, it is rare for private individuals to purchase properties and shops for investment.

It's not that there are none, but very few.

After all, in 1999, the domestic real estate industry was actually only average.

For many people, the biggest purpose of buying a real estate store is not to invest and increase value, but to preserve value!

And this is relatively discerning. Those mothers who have no discernment, such as Chen Li, choose to deposit their money in the bank.

If you deposit for three to five years, the deposit interest seems to be quite high.

Ms. Wang had deposited the money that Chen Li had taken home into the bank on a five-year term, saying that it would be used when Chen Li got married.

Chen Li wanted to persuade him at first, but then gave up the idea after thinking about it.

This is actually a difference in vision and concept, because in Ms. Wang's eyes, depositing money in the bank is actually the safest, safest and most secure way of "investment".

Well, talking about investment is actually a bit too much, because in Ms. Wang’s view, putting money in the bank is a matter of course.

In her opinion, the money you earn now is used now, and any extra money is deposited in the bank to earn interest. This is probably the best way to manage money in the world.

As for other ways of buying a store, investing, doing business, etc., they are all risky.

Risk is the only criterion used by many people like Ms. Wang to judge whether something is worth doing.

Of course, there are no exceptions.

If the person who did this was Ms. Wang's son Chen Li, then this matter would be a different story.

Even if Ms. Wang feels that something is very risky, if the person doing it is Chen Li, then Ms. Wang will choose to ignore the risk and instead support her children.

Because feelings are one of the few things that can surpass wealth.

Of course, this matter must vary from person to person. Anyway, Ms. Wang will definitely choose to support her son.

Uh~ Okay! The topic seems to be a bit far.

In short, at this time in 1999, the gap between the resources in private hands and the resources in corporate hands was really big.

Chen Li had been wandering around Yanjing City before, but most of the shops he could find were crooked.

But when the same matter was handed over to Assistant Ren sent by Zhou Xiaoli's father, the difficulty of the matter instantly became much lower.

When Chen Li is looking for a store, he has to make appointments one by one, visit them, and compare them.

Assistant Ren was looking for a store and took out a piece of paper.

"This is the store address I collected that currently meets our requirements."

“The ones marked with an asterisk in front are those with pretty good locations, but the rental prices are also relatively expensive.”

"Standard circles belong to"

People who come from formal companies do things in a more formal way. Even if it is just a store information, it has been classified and planned accordingly.

Assistant Ren even conducted on-site inspections of many of the stores, and made a not very accurate survey data on the universities near the stores, the surrounding passenger flow, and the surrounding consumption conditions.

It is said that it is not that accurate because this is a survey conducted by Assistant Ren during his vacation, and the survey was also obtained from surrounding merchants, so the true degree is not that accurate.

But from this point of view, you can see the difference between excellent migrant workers and ordinary migrant workers.

An excellent laborer will try his best to complete his work as perfectly even if there are no requirements from above.

Yes~ Chen Li did not ask Assistant Ren to do any research, he just asked him to help find some suitable stores.

So, to be honest, this investigation report is somewhat impressive to Chen Li.

At this moment, the first thought that popped into Chen Li's mind was to recruit Assistant Ren.

You must know that although this guy is now helping Ideal Fried Chicken, he is just a seconded employee and is not an employee of Ideal Fried Chicken.

At this time, Chen Li envied Zhou Xiaoli for having such an excellent employee, but his ideal dream was only fried chicken. Hey~ Forget it, just don’t mention it!

Zhou Xiaoli's father seconded a total of two people, one was Assistant Ren who helped find the store, and the other was Secretary Zhang who was in charge of employee training.

That Secretary Zhang is a middle-aged woman who is almost unforgettable even if you just take one look at her.

In terms of appearance alone, the other party can actually only be regarded as above average, but the gentle and intellectual temperament that the other party carries is really unforgettable.

Although Chen Li has not seen Secretary Zhang's training ability so far, from Assistant Ren's point of view, it is estimated that Secretary Zhang's skills are probably not bad!

So at this moment, Chen Li suddenly rolled his eyes. He almost opened his mouth to say certain words, but in the end he restrained his inner thoughts.

When poaching people, you also need to pay attention to strategy!

Current Chen Li is not very familiar with either Assistant Ren or Secretary Zhang.

And this also depends on the degree to which these two people are valued by Zhou Xiaoli's father, and the degree to which Zhou Xiaoli is favored by her father.

So~ the best way to deal with it now is to keep it quiet first, and then use this time of cooperation to leave a good impression on the other party.

Then wait for the opportunity to appear, and then use Miss Zhou to make plans.

Uh~ Okay! It seems that they are plotting against Miss Zhou again, which makes Chen Li feel a little embarrassed.

But what can he do?

The foundation of Ideal Fried Chicken is too weak to attract any good talents, which makes him very helpless!

The worst case scenario is just a loan. Let's borrow these two people for a while, and then return it to Miss Zhou's father when Ideal Fried Chicken develops?

So Assistant Ren introduced these shops to Chen Li in a serious manner.

As for Chen Li, he was thinking about how to keep Assistant Ren and Secretary Zhang.

The consequence of this was that Chen Li didn't listen to anything.

"Mr. Chen~Mr. Chen?"

"Pa~!"

In the end, Miss Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and slapped Chen Li to wake him up.

"Oh~oh!"

"I'm sorry! I just thought of something else and was a little lost in thought."

"Hmm~Assistant Ren just mentioned that you have inspected the shops with these marks, right?"

After being slapped, Chen Li finally regained his composure and quickly returned his attention.

"Yes Mr. Chen!"

Assistant Ren nodded, keeping a smile on his face, but in his heart he almost cursed.

God knows that he is a young and promising person with outstanding abilities who can even be called the rising star of a real estate company. What did he do wrong to be assigned to this restaurant chain?

Yes~Fap! Assistant Ren thinks so!

Although he is not yet qualified to be called Mr. Zhou's right-hand man, within the real estate company, he is considered a relatively good reserve cadre candidate as an assistant.

As long as he is given a suitable opportunity, he will be able to make a huge leap as an assistant.

If he was asked to help the eldest son of the Zhou family, even as a pawn, Assistant Ren would be happy.

But if it's Miss Zhou Xiaoli, that's a different story.

After all, everyone knows that Mr. Zhou's son has now joined a real estate company, and Miss Zhou will become a doctor in the future.

It is said that good birds choose trees to roost on, and he is considered a good bird as an assistant. But Miss Zhou is not a good wood!

But what can he do? He is also helpless!

Mr. Zhou gave the order, and he, a migrant worker, could only obey the order.

Therefore, although Assistant Ren tried his best to fulfill his duties within the scope of his work, in his heart he actually still looked down upon this so-called chain fried chicken restaurant.

One side is real estate, and the other side is selling fried chicken.

Purely from the perspective of industry development prospects, about 99.99% choose real estate.

So fortunately, Chen Li didn't mention any solicitation topics at this moment, otherwise the possibility of him being rejected would be as high as 100%!

After all, he is not Liu Huangshu, and he is not Cao Mengde without the tear attack. Even if the tiger's body is shaken, he can't fool others into bowing.

He is not even Song Jiang, just saying brother can make countless people call him brother.

He is a small owner of a fried chicken restaurant, and this "small" one is very representative of the current situation.

Only when Chen Li completes the process of growing from "small" to big, will countless talents gather around him, the owner of a chain of fried chicken restaurants.

"Yeah! I still believe in Assistant Ren's work ability."

"In that case, according to Assistant Ren's survey data, we will go to the best ones first."

"Fortunately, we currently have only three new stores opened. We only need to select the three most suitable stores."

"Ask assistant, please help me to continue investigating the remaining stores."

"In the next March, we will continue to open new branches."

"So~ Trouble!"

Because the other person was not his employee and strictly speaking he was just here to help, Chen Li was quite polite to Assistant Ren.

But in Assistant Ren's eyes, his politeness had a different feeling.

There is no majesty, no domineering at all, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like the kind of person who can do great things.

Of course, Assistant Ren did not show any dissatisfaction, but nodded with a smile on his face.

"Okay Mr. Chen!"

This is an essential quality for a good wage earner.

No matter how dissatisfied you are with others in your heart, be sure not to show it on your face easily.

Especially when facing people with a higher status than yourself, you must smile on your face. Whether you feel MMP in your heart is another matter.

Okay~ let’s get down to business!

Assistant Ren and Secretary Zhang were seconded, and another benefit was that Zhou Xiaoli's father sent a car.

Although it's just a Santana, it's good to have a car. Otherwise, Chen Li would have to reimburse Ren's assistant for the taxi fare for traveling around Yanjing every day, which is a lot of money.

Finally, Assistant Ren drove Chen Li and Miss Zhou around the city of Yanjing for an entire afternoon.

Finally, Chen Li decided on the locations of three new branches, two of which belonged to Zhou Xiaoli's family's real estate company.

So when it came time to negotiate the rent, Chen Li pushed Miss Zhou out.

Then Chen Li was dumbfounded!

"Ms. Zhou, I don't have the final say on the rent."

"Our company has clear regulations and this rent has a minimum price."

"And this is not how you bargain."

"It's okay to erase zero. You can't directly erase it from two thousand eighty a month to two thousand."

"."

Assistant Ren was almost speechless. The original rent for these two stores was 2,800 per month. Logically speaking, the prices should be increased this year.

But now that Miss Zhou has come forward, the price will definitely not rise, and will even have to fall.

Therefore, the base price given by the company's general affairs department is that the total price for the two stores is 5,600 per month, and then it will be calculated as 5,000 if zero is added.

But when it comes to Ms. Zhou, you can wipe out zero at a glance. This lady directly wipes it out from the rent of a single store.

One shop earns 2,800 yuan a month, and this smear turns it into 2,000 yuan. The two shops add up to 4,000 yuan a month.

There is almost two thousand yuan missing here and there.

At this moment, the "smile" on Assistant Ren's face became more and more obvious, and he became more and more unbearable.

He has never seen such a cheating daughter. You must know that Zhou Xiaoli only holds 10% of the shares in Ideal Fried Chicken.

But her father owns 40% of the shares in the real estate company.

Why doesn't Miss Zhou understand this account?

"You don't mean what you say, do you?"

"Okay~ I'll call my dad and ask him to tell you."

Zhou Xiaoli picked up her cell phone and looked like she was going to call her dad!

"Ms. Zhou, it really can't be done!"

"Just call Mr. Zhou, the price is really too low."

"Let me tell you this~ This price is already much lower than the market price."

"Originally, the rent for these two small shops would have risen to 3,500 yuan a month this year."

"You."

Assistant Ren wanted to continue explaining, but Zhou Xiaoli didn't care. When the young lady saw that she hadn't lowered the price, she felt that her face had been damaged, so she picked up her mobile phone and started making calls.

However, Miss Zhou's behavior was stopped by Chen Li.

He knew very well that even if Zhou Xiaoli made this call, the rent of this store would probably come down.

But that is not a normal business cooperation. It is Zhou Xiaoli’s private unreasonable behavior!

In the future, Ideal Fried Chicken and the other party will have to cooperate to a certain extent, so there is no need to go to that level.

The reason why he pushed Zhou Xiaoli out was just to take advantage of the other party's real estate company's network resources and avoid stepping into the trap.

But the price offered by the other party was in line with Chen Li's standards. Even as the other party said, the rent was actually lower than the market price.

Therefore, he cannot let Zhou Xiaoli continue to make things difficult for others.

Hmm~Okay! This is actually Chen Li trying to sell things to Assistant Ren.

So Chen Li winked at Zhou Xiaoli. He had discussed it with Zhou Xiaoli before coming, so that the other party would act based on his wink.

So as soon as Zhou Xiaoli saw Chen Li blinking, she immediately stopped making trouble.

"Assistant Ren, I know the price is very suitable. I'll leave the rest to you!"

Chen Li looked at Assistant Ren and smiled.
