When Lin Yun made the call, the landlord was nearby and arrived quickly.

This storefront is about 300 square meters in total.

The landlord quoted an annual rent of 280,000 yuan.

This price is not cheap compared to the storefronts in this urban village.

The rent for the storefront that Lin Yun rented, which was about 100 square meters, was only 50,000 yuan a year.

The same space, almost doubled.

However, the location of this storefront is quite good.

A storefront serves to attract customers; many customers will buy from whichever storefront they see first when they enter the store.

Lin Yun wasn't interested in that aspect; his storefront didn't lack customers. What he valued was the large space in front of the storefront, including a natural parking area, which would allow for better vehicle access for delivering goods.

Furthermore, although this storefront is only temporary, its location is better and its space is larger in all aspects, which gives customers a better impression.

There's no need to save money on this.

Lin Yun did not directly negotiate the price with the landlord, but instead requested to rent the dormitory upstairs as well, a total of twenty rooms, for a year's price of 380,000 yuan.

If they agree, they will sign the contract immediately.

The twenty dormitories were naturally for the workers.

Currently, their factory has more than 40 workers. The 20 newly recruited workers haven't had time to rent new dormitories, so Ding Wei and Xiao Mei arranged for them to live with the older workers.

Although, compared to the workers' dormitories in other factories, their factory's current workers' dormitories are not crowded.

But Lin Yun didn't want these employees to live in such cramped conditions.

We'll rent another twenty dorm rooms, also for future considerations.

It's still unknown how large the sales volume of Qingyun power banks will grow. Once new products are launched, their factory will definitely need more workers.

“I see that many rooms in this building are empty. This is just the beginning. As the number of workers in the factory increases, I will definitely rent some more dormitories. I have slightly higher requirements for employee dormitories, at most two people per dormitory.” Seeing the landlord hesitate, Lin Yun smiled slightly and said.

Now, although he is not short of money, his long-standing business habits have made him habitually haggle over prices.

Of course, this is because the price they quoted was slightly higher, and they probably left room for negotiation; otherwise, they wouldn't have negotiated.

You can pay it back, but it would be too much of a rip-off not to.

In this urban village, the price of a regular dormitory room is seven or eight hundred yuan per month. If you pay rent for a year, it will be cheaper, around seven or eight thousand yuan. Each room has a small kitchen and a bathroom.

This price is the market price, and it's hard to go any lower. Twenty rooms a year would cost around 150,000.

Two hundred and eighty thousand plus one hundred and fifty thousand equals four hundred and thirty thousand. He said a price of three hundred and eighty thousand, which is equivalent to a counter-offer of fifty thousand.

This means that this storefront was only rented out for 230,000 yuan.

This price is a bit beyond the room for negotiation left by the landlord.

No wonder he had to consider it.

However, that's not how you calculate it.

Money is only considered money when it's in your pocket.

Generally, the owner of a factory will rent dormitories for their employees on or next to that factory building. Moreover, each dormitory houses a large number of employees; four employees per dormitory is considered good. Some frugal owners even house six or eight employees.

This storefront is not rented out. It's a 300-square-meter building with many rooms, so many rooms are not rented out.

Thus, every day that this storefront and these rooms are vacant is equivalent to a huge waste of money.

This storefront, priced at 280,000, is not easy to rent out. Even if it is rented out someday, there is no guarantee how many of the rooms upstairs will be rented out.

Moreover, renting out rooms one by one is too troublesome; it's rare to see someone like Lin Yun renting so many.

So, after hearing Lin Yun's words, the landlord thought about it and agreed.

The contract was prepared by the landlord; all I had to do was fill in some numbers.

Lin Yun reviewed the property information and the contract, found no problems, and then signed the contract.

After a year's rent has been paid, the storefront downstairs and the twenty dorm rooms upstairs will belong to Lin Yun for the next year.

Lin Yun made a phone call, asking Ding Wei to bring some employees to handle things here.

"Boss, will this be our new factory?" Ding Wei asked in surprise when he arrived and saw the huge storefront.

Three hundred square meters is a lot of space. Their factory doesn't house much equipment, so it's more than enough to accommodate forty people, or even a hundred.

Not to mention, the location here is excellent.

The environment is much better than their original factory.

The employees behind Ding Wei were also very happy.

With a better working environment, they'll feel more respected when they go out!

Moreover, the previous place was too crowded, and they didn't feel comfortable working there.

"Okay, you can make the arrangements," Lin Yun said with a smile and a nod.

"Okay." Ding Wei nodded happily.

He was also happy to move to a larger factory.

The matter Lin Yun asked him to handle was not complicated.

Their factory has no equipment, so the storefront doesn't need much attention; it's just a matter of dormitory accommodation.

This urban village has many migrant workers, and there are many shops nearby selling all kinds of dormitory supplies. As long as you have money and connections, it's easy to arrange accommodations.

At that moment, Zhong Ling arrived.

After greeting Ding Wei, Lin Yun walked outside with Zhong Ling.

"You mean, you want me to work for you from now on?" Zhong Ling asked in surprise.

“In Shenzhen, I don’t know many people I can trust. The things I’m about to do involve a lot of official procedures that most people aren’t familiar with. After thinking about it, I think you’re the most suitable person for this role,” Lin Yun nodded and said.

"You trust me that much?" Zhong Ling said jokingly.

"I trust my intuition," Lin Yun said with a slight smile.

"If you come, the salary will be 30,000 per month for now, with additional expenses to be calculated separately. How about that?" Lin Yun said with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll do it with you.” Zhong Ling nodded and said directly.

"Aren't you going to consider it?" Lin Yun asked in surprise, seeing Zhong Ling agree so readily.

"Where can I find such a high salary as a recent graduate? Why wouldn't I agree?" Zhong Ling covered her mouth and smiled, saying.

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding anymore. I worked at that law firm for a few days and I found that I'm not suited for the job. Not only are the colleagues backstabbing each other, but they're also all about money. They don't care who's right or who's paying them, they'll take the case for them. There are some cases I don't want to take, but I have to. I don't want to live like this." After a pause, Zhong Ling stuck out her tongue and said in a very cute way.

“Perfect timing. Since you, the big boss, are trying to poach me with such great benefits, I might as well switch jobs,” Zhong Ling said, blinking.

"Then welcome to the team," Lin Yun said with a smile.
