Ma Kaixuan brought Lu Sinian and Zhang Yaoyao to the shop, walked around the first floor and introduced them.
"Zhang Yaoyao, what do you think of this shop? It covers over 200 square meters, and the first and second floors can be connected to form a connecting shop. Is that enough space for us to open a supermarket?"
Zhang Yaoyao roughly looked around the first floor and said to Ma Kaixuan.
"Let's go to the second floor and take a look!"
Since it is a supermarket, there must be a lot of traffic. How can it be done by just looking at the first floor? Naturally, we have to inspect the second floor in person. We can't just connect the two floors, so we have to take a look in person.
The three of them went to the second floor together. Zhang Yaoyao walked around the second floor and found that the location of the second floor could not be used directly as a shop. It might be because of the design of the house when it was built. No one expected that it would be used as a street-facing shop one day. All of them were designed to look like rooms. It would take a lot of effort to connect them.
Zhang Yaoyao stood at the stairs, very dissatisfied with the layout of the second floor, and said directly.
"Ma Kaixuan, if you plan to use the second floor as a supermarket, then all the rooms on the second floor must be connected. Then you can arrange the shelves according to the areas and stock the shelves later."
This is a huge project and needs to be done by professionals. We can't destroy the building beyond recognition just to open a supermarket.
Lu Sinian on the side also echoed with interest.
"Yes, since we are going to open a supermarket, we have to demolish all the partition walls and rooms on the second floor and make it a fully framed, open space."
Some of the rooms on the second floor were rented out to others, and some were occupied by the merchants downstairs. Now they were all to be demolished, which would take a lot of effort. However, in order to realize his own money-making business as soon as possible, Ma Kaixuan gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, isn't it just about demolishing all these rooms and partitions? No problem. I'll have the construction team come over tomorrow and demolish everything according to your requirements."
The rooms on the second floor were rented out, so Ma Kaixuan asked them to return the remaining balance and let them leave immediately today. As for the shops downstairs, he also asked his subordinates to quickly return the money paid by the merchants so that they could find their own way to make a living as soon as possible.
This house will only be used as a supermarket for him and Zhang Yaoyao from now on.
After getting an answer that satisfied her, Zhang Yaoyao walked to the window, looked at the large open space behind the house, and said regretfully.
"Ma Kaixuan, we're going to build a large supermarket. The first and second floors of your building alone aren't enough. The space is too small, and many of the goods won't be complete. I'm wondering who owns the land behind? Is there any way we can rent it?"
She had seen this vacant lot when she was on the first floor, but she didn't say anything for the time being. Now, after looking at the area of the second floor, she quickly estimated the types of items and planning of the supermarket in her mind, and determined that Ma Kaixuan's house could not accommodate her ideas, so she proposed to rent the vacant lot at the back.
Ma Kaixuan and Lu Sinian followed Zhang Yaoyao's gaze and looked back. Behind Ma Kaixuan's house, there was indeed a large open space, about five or six hundred square meters.
The vacant lot was overgrown with weeds, probably because it had been idle for a long time. Before, the two of them were busy with their own careers and did not notice the vacant lot.
Now, after Zhang Yaoyao's reminder, the two of them suddenly discovered that there was indeed an open space behind them.
The vacant land in the city center has been left vacant, which is such a waste of resources!
You know, the location in the city center was a place where every inch of land was worth a lot of money even in the 1980s. This piece of land has been vacant for a long time, and even if a simple house is built on it, some money can be made.
The owner of this land seems to not care about the small profits and has left it vacant. It can be seen that the person who owns this land must be a rich and powerful person.
It is indeed difficult to convince such people to rent the vacant land to them.
But in business, you always face challenges head-on. How can you not look for the owner of this vacant land just because there are difficulties? Should you still open the supermarket? Should you still make money? Thinking of this, Ma Kaixuan said to Zhang Yaoyao.
"I haven't noticed this vacant lot before. How about I go and check it out?"
Given the Ma family's financial strength in City A, it shouldn't be difficult to find out who the owner of this vacant land is. The difficult part is how to convince the owner to rent it to them. If that doesn't work, Ma Kaixuan decided to have the old man in the family personally rent the land to him or buy it outright.
Lu Sinian looked intently at the open space outside the window, and a message seemed to flash through his mind. He quickly came to Zhang Yaoyao and said to her.
"Zhang Yaoyao, leave this piece of land to me. I should know who it belongs to. I'll get it for you."
Zhang Yaoyao raised her eyes in confusion and met Lu Sinian's deep eyes, with a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Can you take this land and get its owner to agree to rent this vacant land to us?"
If that's the case, that would be great. She didn't expect Lu Sinian could give her such a surprise.
Lu Sinian took in the surprise in Zhang Yaoyao's eyes, but what he said shocked Zhang Yaoyao.
"It's not renting, it's directly loaned to you for free."
As soon as Lu Sinian finished speaking, a hint of doubt flashed across Zhang Yaoyao's face, and Ma Kaixuan beside him couldn't help but ask.
"Lend it to us for free? Lu Sinian, what the hell are you doing?"
This piece of land has been vacant for many years. Even though Ma Kaixuan bought a property here, he never asked who the land behind the house belonged to.
He never even thought that this kid Lu Sinian could be involved with this piece of vacant land and that he could let them use it for free. Could it be that this kid had bought this piece of vacant land earlier and had been hiding it from him?
On the other hand, Zhang Yaoyao was very calm. She quickly figured out the pros and cons and spoke calmly.
"This land is free for us to use. I'm happy to do it. Tell me, Lu Sinian, what are your conditions?"
Since Lu Sinian can promise to let them use this land for free, this land must either belong to Lu Sinian or to Mr. Wang.
Zhang Yaoyao believes that it should be the latter. The land belongs to Mr. Wang, and Lu Shinian was able to convince Mr. Wang to give them the land for free.
There is no free lunch in the world. Since they used the land for free, the other party must have other conditions.
Lu Sinian looked at Zhang Yaoyao with approval and praised her generously.
"Yaoyao, you are so smart!"
This piece of land does belong to his grandfather, and he is the only one who can persuade his grandfather to give this land to Zhang Yaoyao and others for use. He does have some conditions to put forward.
He knew that Zhang Yaoyao had always been the one who understood her the best.
Ma Kaixuan also reacted at this time and patted Lu Sinian on the shoulder.
"Oh, Si Nian, I didn't expect you to have a big move in mind!"
