Lin Yifeng was also a little surprised by this.
Duan Yusheng and Wang Deming's hasty actions have completely disrupted his plans.
He originally planned to wait until Shanghai developed, and then use the land he had to gradually expand Mixue Ice Cream and Wallace's influence in Shanghai.
Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to make concessions and let them open the store first.
Lin Yifeng was well aware of Duan Yusheng and Wang Deming's concerns.
However, having memories of his past life, he knew very well that the two people's worries were completely meaningless.
In two or three years, when land prices in Shanghai rise, these companies will no longer be thinking about how to acquire their shopping malls, but rather how to reduce their own rent costs in Shanghai.
Even if McDonald's and KFC were going crazy back then, it was impossible for them to spend hundreds of millions to buy out their shopping malls. For these two companies' market share in China, Shanghai didn't need to make such a huge investment.
It can be said that the surge in land prices will allow Duan Yusheng and Wang Deming to easily overcome this difficulty in the future.
But now Duan Yusheng and Wang Deming have given Lin Yifeng a chance.
An opportunity to get on board before land prices skyrocket.
An opportunity to gain a foothold in Shanghai sooner.
Lin Yifeng would never miss this opportunity.
He couldn't be so naive as to give them advice and tell them to wait and see, after all, Lin Yifeng's relationship with the two was only on a business basis, and he was, after all, a businessman.
"Old Guo, tell Xu Qingyi to ask Ma Ning and the others."
"Is there any reliable cold chain logistics from Zhongzhou Province to Shanghai?"
"By the way, ask Wanlong if the meat processing plant can provide another city's share now that it continues to increase production."
After Lin Yifeng finished giving these instructions, Guo Fengsheng immediately began contacting Xu Qingyi's side that very night.
Two days later, Lin Yifeng appeared in Wang Deming's office, followed by Guo Fengsheng carrying a briefcase and looking serious.
When Duan Yusheng and Wang Deming saw Lin Yifeng's posture, they immediately realized that things were going to work out.
After a brief discussion, both sides agreed on the final price.
Duan Yusheng and Wang Deming were responsible for all aspects of the mall's land, water, and electricity, while Lin Yifeng was responsible for the shop decoration and staff wages.
Lin Yifeng plans to invest a total of 300,000 yuan to open a Wallace restaurant and 100,000 yuan to renovate a Mixue Ice Cream shop.
These two investments are basically the lowest; the main high costs are in Wallace's delivery service and staff salaries.
Wallace spends nearly 20,000 yuan on this every month.
In Zhongzhou Province, you can hire a shop assistant for 600 yuan, but in Wallace, it would cost 1,000 yuan. This doesn't even include the cost of buying a vehicle and hiring people for delivery.
In terms of wages, Wallace would cost 20,000 yuan, and Mixue Ice Cream would cost nearly 10,000 yuan.
This doesn't even include the recruitment of staff for Suzhou embroidery, which would be even more expensive.
Overall, Lin Yifeng's rent pressure is indeed much less; otherwise, including rent, he might have to spend close to 200,000 or 300,000 yuan per month on these three stores.
As for the store location, Duan Yusheng and Wang Deming had specific requirements.
Wallace was determined to open next to those two shops no matter what.
On the first floor of Pacific Mall, McDonald's and KFC have become like two guardians, securing the best location. Because of their concessions, the rent is the lowest in the entire mall.
They didn't ask for anything else, just that Lin Yifeng severely squeeze the businesses of these two companies, trying to get them back to the negotiating table.
Lin Yifeng's requirements were also very simple.
Mixue Ice Cream needs a shop closest to the entrance, just like McDonald's and KFC, which require a shop with access from two sides.
One side is the entrance to the store inside the mall, and the other side is the exit for fast food restaurants outside the mall.
Duan Yusheng and Wang Deming agreed on this point.
After both sides signed the contract, Duan Yusheng and Wang Deming couldn't stop smiling.
He kept thanking Lin Yifeng for his help.
While Lin Yifeng was saying polite words, he was secretly overjoyed.
Compared to his businesses in other places, he really hit the jackpot with these two stores in Shanghai.
In the heart of Shanghai, there are two shops with no rent, utilities, or electricity.
Two years from now, it would take at least several million yuan a year to make a profit, not to mention that these two shops are located in the shopping mall with the highest foot traffic. Even if Lin Yifeng closed his eyes, he would definitely make a profit.
His only major investment so far is the monthly cost of cold chain transportation for these two stores.
However, compared to these two low-cost, high-return businesses, these transportation costs are within an affordable range.
After all that was over, the next day Lin Yifeng asked Lin Cuilan to start recruiting people.
The first to be recruited were naturally people from Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream. Since these two shops are fast food restaurants, the technical difficulty is low. In addition, the decoration does not require much design, as it is basically already decorated. All that is needed is to make some minor modifications and move in the equipment.
The most difficult part is probably going through all the procedures of the local government and obtaining the approvals and business licenses.
Duan Yusheng and Wang Deming have made arrangements in this regard, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Lin Yifeng estimated that the two shops would be fully renovated in about a week and could be officially put into operation within ten days.
That afternoon, after Guo Fengsheng went to learn about the local market, he posted a recruitment notice that evening.
Meanwhile, the construction team was working overnight to finish the renovations at Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream.
This left the managers of both McDonald's and KFC completely bewildered when they saw the newly renovated shops in the mall, with no idea what kind of shops were going to open next to them.
