Imagine there's a shop you love to eat at, the food is delicious, and you've been eating there for years, but one day it suddenly closes down.
The reason is that the landlord will not continue to rent to him, so he has no choice but to go to other places, and a large part of his customers will also leave him.
If that's the case, then we're in a rather passive position.
Now that the landlord is asking for a minimum ten-year lease, it means that if he rents this place for at least the next ten years, it will be his shop and the address will not change significantly.
Moreover, the landlord is always abroad and rarely returns to China, so there's no need to worry about any messy issues. Basically, once you rent this place, you can use it as you please, just like it's your own house.
Lu Rong was extremely satisfied with this place; not only was the size and building itself perfect for a restaurant, but the surrounding environment was also ideal.
With four floors in total, the dishes can be divided into four sections according to different customers' preferences and skill levels, with each floor featuring a different specialty, thus achieving precise placement.
"Boss, how is it? Are you satisfied with this place?" Seeing Lu Rong deep in thought, the salesman next to him hurriedly asked.
To be honest, when he saw that Lu Rong was about the same age as him, he also felt that Lu Rong might not be able to accept the price here. After all, the total area is more than 3,000 square meters, and at 700 yuan per square meter, the monthly rent would be more than 2 million yuan.
He couldn't understand how this guy, who was about his age, could afford such a high rent.
Besides, even if you rent it, the subsequent renovation will be a huge expense; renovating such a large house will cost at least several million.
This is no joke; renovations are very expensive.
Lu Rong did not respond immediately; he kept analyzing the situation in his mind.
Everything I see right now, from the flow of customers to the surrounding environment and every room in this building, is what I'm looking at.
He was trying hard to think about it.
After all, this isn't something worth a few hundred or a thousand dollars; it involves development over the next ten years.
Then, he picked up his phone again.
After looking at other locations in Kyoto and their surroundings on the map for a full half hour, I finally decided to choose this one.
At this moment, the real estate agent was still waiting quietly on the side. Although he also felt that Lu Rong might not be able to afford the house here, since it was too expensive, he did not leave like the others, or show any disrespect in his words.
After a fierce struggle and careful consideration, Lu Rong finally decided to choose this place as the first location for him to open a shop after leaving campus and entering society.
He knew very well that the price was too cheap, mainly because the area was too large and many people couldn't afford to rent it. Even if they could afford it, they probably wouldn't be able to break even.
But Lu Rong was different; what he valued most was the large area and easy parking.
The surrounding area has convenient transportation.
As a restaurant, this is the kind of effect we want. If customers can't even find parking when they come to eat here, they are very likely not to come back next time.
There are five or six hundred parking spaces around the building, plus the parking spaces in the basement. Even if the entire building is full of customers, there is no problem accommodating all these cars.
If you're going to do it, then do it boldly.
If it were in the past...
Thinking about all that money, I probably don't know what to do with it.
But now we have a certain foundation, and in particular, our way of thinking has changed a lot.
“Okay, I’ll rent this place for ten years.” Lu Rong looked at the real estate agent seriously.
"What? You're really sure you want to rent here?" The real estate agent looked at Lu Rong in disbelief.
As intermediaries, they take many people to various places to view properties and shops every day.
However, over 95% of them just look at it and then nothing happens.
Especially large shops like this.
They can usually only dream about it; it's hard to actually make a deal, since the price is too high.
Moreover, those who can afford to rent such large shops usually have extensive connections. Often, after much effort, they bring customers there, and the customers find something they like, but the customers can find the shop owner directly and then make a private transaction, thus avoiding several percentage points of intermediary fees.
Although they also hated this situation, there was nothing they could do about it.
Now, this boy in front of me, who looks about the same age as me, actually decided on the spot to rent this place.
Moreover, the timeframe is at least ten years.
It's important to understand that just the phrase "starting from ten years" means that you have to pay nearly 30 million yuan in rent every year, which would amount to 300 million yuan over ten years.
Without a certain amount of courage and strength, one wouldn't dare to do such a thing.
Lu Rong didn't have time to care whether he was surprised or not, and immediately pulled him into the store to sign the contract.
Soon, both parties signed the contract.
For the next ten years, the right to use this shop will belong to Lu Rong.
With the shop space rented, the next step is renovation.
To save time, Lu Rong directly contacted a large chain decoration company. Speed was what he needed. If a shop missed a day of opening, it would lose a lot of money, so he had to increase the speed while ensuring quality.
Fortunately, the building itself has good facilities, with basic infrastructure such as tiled floors, so only minor improvements are needed for renovation.
Of course, because the area is so large, it is absolutely impossible to do it for a few hundred thousand; it will start at least in the millions.
