This was the first time Hong Kang heard that accounts could be calculated in this way.
He originally thought that he was very good at calculations, but he was still deeply shocked by Shao Jingque's algorithm.
It’s the same dollar, can a dollar now be compared with a dollar ten years later?
He didn't know the answer.
But he thought about it and realized that one dollar could buy 20 kilograms of rice ten years ago, but now it can't even buy 10 kilograms. It seems that it is more worthwhile to spend money early!
Moreover, he knew that Shao Jingque was actually right. These three storefronts had only one advantage, which was that they were barely on the edge of the commercial street. Apart from that, they had no advantages in terms of area or house type.
Among them, except for the photo studio which can be barely rented out, the other two storefronts have been deserted for several years. They are full of cobwebs and dust, and not a penny of rent can be collected.
If you really rent it for ten years, the rent you get is probably not even fifteen hundred yuan. And according to Shao Jingque's algorithm, the money you get after ten years is only enough to buy something that costs about three hundred yuan now. It's a huge loss!
Moreover, if this happens, he will have to worry about renting out the property for the next ten years. If the tenants encounter problems with the property, they will have to contact him for repairs. Does he have to run back from Hong Kong City to deal with these trivial matters?
I'm afraid one month's rent is not enough to cover his round trip expenses!
Thinking of this, Hong Kang instantly felt that the offer given by Shao Jingque was very attractive. Wouldn't it be better to get the ten-year rent now than to worry about getting it at a 20% discount ten years later?
But out of caution, he did not rush to agree to Shao Jingque's offer. After thinking for a while, he asked:
"Since you know that keeping this storefront will depreciate, why did you still buy it?"
Devaluation?
When did she say that the storefront would depreciate?
She only said that money would depreciate, and it was none of her business if Hong Kang himself equated money with storefronts.
Shao Jingque had a harmless and sincere expression on his face and answered confidently:
"That's because... I don't make money from renting the storefront."
"I have confidence in our photo studio business. We just need a stable business location, so buying a storefront is better than renting one. As for the capital cost of buying a storefront, we are confident that we can earn back the money."
As for how much compensation these storefronts would have to pay for demolition in the future, she couldn't say for sure. She estimated that it would not be a big deal considering the scale of their business. At most, it would be a small expected surprise.
Seeing how confident she was about her business, Hong Kang couldn't help but nod secretly. It was indeed rare to find such a courageous and bold girl.
But since the photo studio's business is so good as she said, can he... raise the price a little more?
Shao Jingque saw Hong Kang's eyes rolling around, and guessed what he was thinking, so he spoke first:
"Of course, a stable business location doesn't necessarily have to be on a commercial street. For a photo studio, as long as it's large enough and not too remote, it's fine. This industry isn't like the clothing or restaurant industries, which must be located in areas with high foot traffic."
"I've been looking at shops on several streets these days, and there are a few that are quite good. That's why I said that if Brother Hong doesn't want to sell, that's fine. When the lease expires at the end of the month, we can just move to a new storefront."
When Hong Kang heard her say this, he suddenly became anxious.
Shao Jingque's words just now had strengthened his determination to sell the shop, but he was still greedy and wanted to see if he could get a higher price. However, before he could open his mouth, Shao Jingque had already tricked him -
If he raises the price again, the other party will run away!
Hong Kang quickly put on a smile and continued:
"Finding a new location will delay business for at least a month. It's better to just stay here. I think the reputation of Yongsi Photo Studio has spread. Opening the store on the commercial street should at least be more eye-catching and easier for customers to find the right place!"
Shao Jingque nodded:
"Brother Hong is right. We think so too. In fact, it's just for convenience. Otherwise, the storefronts in other places are larger and the prices are much cheaper."
Hong Kang saw that Shao Jingque was not going to increase the price by even a penny. He wanted to sell but was also worried about losing money. After a while of hesitation, he said:
"Let's put it this way, Xiao Shao. Selling three storefronts is a big deal. I have to go back and discuss it with my family. I'll give you an answer the day after tomorrow!"
After he said that, how could Shao Jingque not know what he was planning?
Judging from his reaction of asking Rong Yongsi to come along to negotiate the price, we can tell that he is a traditional male chauvinist who thinks that a little girl like her cannot make the final decision. Would such a man go home and ask for his wife's consent?
In Shao Jingque's opinion, it was just an excuse for Hong Kang to delay time.
During these two days, he must have been thinking about looking for other buyers. If someone offered higher than two thousand, he would definitely sell it to them without saying a word.
Shao Jingque didn't think that Hong Kang could find a new buyer in two days. After all, there was no reform and opening up yet, and most people were still used to eating from the same pot. There were very few people doing business. In addition, with the current income level, not many people could immediately come up with two thousand yuan at one time.
However, Shao Jingque still didn't intend to give him a chance to regret, and pretended to be embarrassed:
"Brother Hong, there's actually a shop offering 1,800 yuan waiting for my response today. If you don't sell it to me in two days, and if that shop is sold by then, won't I be the only one who suffers the loss?"
"If you really can't make up your mind today, forget it. I'll just book the one that costs 1,800 yuan. It'll save me 200 yuan anyway, so I don't end up with nothing!"
Hong Kang got anxious when he heard this:
"No! Haven't we already discussed everything? I just need two days to go home and talk to my family. Can't you wait even two days?"
Shao Jingque looked embarrassed:
"I want to wait for you, but I'm worried that others won't wait for me!"
After struggling for a while, she seemed to have made a great decision before speaking:
"Well, let's put it this way. Yongsi Photo Studio was also taken care of by Brother Hong before. Let's take the risk!"
"Brother Hong, if you really need two days to give us an answer, then we will wait for you, but the price must be reduced to 1,800 yuan after two days."
