Chapter 16 Buying a Shop
The next day, Lu Qingyu came to the Pedestrian Street of Luzhou City.
The pedestrian street was newly developed in the past few years. It has a good geographical location and there is also a leisure square next to it.
There was a lot of people in the pedestrian street, but most of the shops on both sides were closed.
The main result of this is that the shops in the pedestrian street are positioned at a relatively high-end level.
Clothes with similar styles and quality are more than ten or twenty yuan more expensive than outside.
The same is true for hotels, which are much more expensive than outside the pedestrian street.
Only some young people who pursue fashion come here to eat and shop.
Some older people like to go to places like department stores to buy things.
Compared with the dismal sluggishness of those small businesses, the worst part is the merchants in the pedestrian street shopping malls.
At the most central location of the Pedestrian Street, a three-story shopping mall was built.
The merchants outside are so dismal, let alone those inside the mall.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a waste of people.
Merchants have changed one after another and have tried various transactions, but they have not improved.
After all, I can't beat the department store not far away.
Lu Qingyu summarized that it is not actually a problem with the high-end strategy of the shops in the street.
Although Luzhou is not big, its economy is still good, and the people's consumption level is not that low.
The main problem is that the differentiation of goods is too low.
There is not much difference between the things in the pedestrian street and the things in the department store.
Then why are you more expensive than others?
Are you fools? If you don’t buy those with low prices, you can buy those that are expensive.
There are only two ways to get out of this predicament.
First, there must be enough differentiation between the goods inside and outside the pedestrian street.
Second, homogeneous products are cheaper than outside.
Lu Qingyu's plan is to attack at the same time with two means.
It turned out that he hadn't decided to find a deal for his parents, but now he knew it.
When I came to the pedestrian street shopping mall, many shops inside were closed, and there were leaflets everywhere.
Ignoring those small shops, Lu Qingyu came directly to the largest area.
The first floor of this area is a shoe city, and the area on the second floor is the same as the first floor, and it is a food city.
Because the business is really bad, it is closed now.
Seeing the redemption leaflet posted at the doors of the first and second floors, Lu Qingyu probably guessed that the Shoe City and the Food City were the same boss.
This is the best way to avoid wasting time.
After writing down the phone number on the redemption leaflet, Lu Qingyu came to a shop next to him.
It is also two floors, but the area is not as large as you just saw.
I also remembered the phone number and left.
In this era, mobile phones are still a luxury item, but they are not one for everyone in 2020.
But to Lu Qingyu now, it is nothing.
He decided to buy one now. After all, the supermarket project will definitely have many things to do, and it is not convenient to have no mobile phone.
I went straight to the Electric Appliance City and spent 2,700 yuan to buy a Nokia 8250.
After I bought another phone card and installed it, I called the phone number I had written down before.
"Hey, hello, who?"
A thick male voice came across from the phone.
"Hello, are you going to get the shop in the shopping mall in Pedestrian Street?" Lu Qingyu asked.
"Yes, yes, yes, give it to you! Do you want to take over?" After a moment of stunned silence, the tone was filled with surprise.
Now the pedestrian street shops have become hot potatoes, and those owners want someone to come and take over immediately.
His shop has been hanging out for half a year, and no one has ever called to ask.
It's so worrying for him.
Now, someone finally asked about the shop, how could he not be excited?
"I'm considering it. What price can we pay?" Lu Qingyu asked.
The man thought for a while and said, "The first floor is 100,000 yuan a year, and the second floor is 80,000 yuan!"
Lu Qingyu nodded secretly. This price is not only not expensive, but it is very cheap.
Each floor has about 1,000 square meters, and the two floors are 2,000 square meters.
"If you rent the two floors together, will there be a discount?"
The man opposite was stunned for a moment, but then said in surprise: "Two floors together? Of course, of course there are discounts!"
"I'll rent it to you for 150,000 yuan for two floors together! If you can pick it up right away, we can chat again!"
This is very obvious, and the other party still has room to reduce the price.
Lu Qingyu smiled and did not give a clear reply.
“If I buy it, what price?”
The person on the other side was completely stunned. He didn't expect the other party to ask this.
"This... I can't reply to you right away, I haven't thought about this problem."
"Then think about it, I'm not in a hurry. Let's talk again after thinking about it." Lu Qingyu said.
After saying that, Lu Qingyu hung up the phone.
Luo Tiancheng took the phone and began to think about it.
When he bought this shop, it was 1,200 per square meter. The two floors combined were 2,100 square meters, with a total price of 2.52 million yuan.
Then he spent a lot of money to build a food city and a shoe city, thinking that he could make a fortune.
Unexpectedly, the business was not good after the opening, and the tenants quit after working for a year.
The remaining two years were empty and I couldn't rent them out, so I was worried about losing money.
This made him very angry.
Now someone wants to accept it. He is a little anxious and just wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. If he puts it in his hands for a day, he will lose money for a day.
It’s better to cash out and stop the loss immediately to solve this problem.
After he had plans in mind, he dialed the number he had just called.
"Brother, I will tell you directly. When I bought this shop, it was 1,200 per square meter, and there was 37 years of property rights. If you take over, I will give you 1,100 per square meter! I will give you another fraction, 2.3 million!"
Luo Tiancheng said straight to the point.
Lu Qingyu calculated that the price was in line with his expectations.
"No problem, but I don't have that much money now. I have to pay in installments. I will pay 500,000 when signing the first contract, and pay the remaining second year."
Luo Tiancheng hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
As long as he can throw this mess out, he will definitely accept the installment payment.
"Okay! When will it be convenient for you? Let's sign the contract."
"Then let's go tomorrow." Lu Qingyu replied.
"Okay, see you at Shanshui Manor at 12 noon tomorrow, I will be the host!" Luo Tiancheng said cheerfully.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Qingyu smiled.
1100 per square meter is simply a bargain price!
He clearly remembered that in 2019, the prices of shops in Luzhou Pedestrian Street had risen to more than 10,000 per square meter.
By then, even if it is sold, it will be more than 20 million!
Make a profit without losing money.
Afterwards, Lu Qingyu called the owner of the shop next to him, and the upper and lower floors were 400 square meters in total, and finally won for 450,000 yuan.
The two shops spent 950,000 yuan, and the remaining more than 1 million yuan was enough to open the supermarket and my parents’ business.
There are more than two months left before school starts, which is enough to build the stall.
Because the big shops were previously food cities and shoe cities, they basically didn’t need to be moved in terms of decoration.
