Chapter 477
Usually when people go out of town, whether for tourism or business, they like to bring back some local specialties.
Su Ji’s shredded papaya and soft ginger candy are also relatively high on the list of Nanning’s specialties.
It is in the city center and close to the train station, so it would be a good place to open a specialty store.
Moreover, selling these two items does not require customers to sit and wait. All you need to do is set up a counter in the front and place the goods in the back of the store.
The workshop is close to the city center, so there is no problem even if goods are transferred here every day.
However, Su Miao also had some concerns about the franchise store.
Because before, in addition to selling in our own store, we mainly sold it in the form of wholesale, and there were also several stores in the city center that purchased goods.
If she opened a direct-sale store, the distributors' prices would definitely not be as favorable as theirs, which would inevitably affect her business.
It would be fine if it was in an area with fewer distributors, but this place is only a few hundred meters away from the department store, which is one of their big customers.
The fact that shredded papaya and soft ginger candy are considered must-buy souvenirs when leaving Nanning is inseparable from the marketing and promotion of department stores, and we cannot afford to offend major customers.
So what was left was the milk tea shop she had been thinking about for a long time.
In today's dessert shops, because of the issue of using tableware, most people eat while sitting in the shop or at the stalls. Only boxed or bottled drinks can be carried around.
The most popular portable drinks in Nanning now include bagged sweet water, which is called ice pack when frozen, and bagged soy milk;
Boxed winter melon tea and chrysanthemum tea, canned Jianlibao, and glass bottled soda and soy milk.
Milk tea, whether freshly brewed or brewed, is not common. At least Su Miao has only had it in that tea restaurant.
But that is for eating in the restaurant and cannot be carried around.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, the action-oriented Su Miao began to make preparations.
She contacted the packaging supplier she worked with and described to them the self-sealing milk tea cups and large straws she had seen in her previous life.
The supplier said that the factory did not have it and no one locally had used it, but they could help find it. If they couldn’t find it, they would see if they could try to produce it themselves.
While they were looking for milk tea cups, Su Miao dialed the phone number written on the door of the shop and made an appointment with the current owner to view the shop.
Fat Uncle's company is just upstairs in this building. Now that we are real relatives, it is reasonable for me to inform Fat Uncle about my plan to buy the shop downstairs.
So, Su Miao called his fat uncle and briefly told him about the matter.
The fat uncle was quite concerned about this niece he adopted, and he immediately said that he would come over in person when the time came to help them bargain.
So Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng didn't have to say anything at all. They just had to look at the specific situation of the shop and measure the area of the house. The fat uncle would take care of the rest.
The fat uncle looked at the small shop in front of him with disdain, then turned to the owner and said:
"Boss Tan, what were you thinking at the time? What kind of business can such a small shop do? Has Ben come back yet?"
"Oh! Stop talking. Look at all the people coming and going all day long. I'm attracted by the flow of people here!
It’s actually not difficult to make your money back, you just have to spend more time and effort.
Boss Shi, you said there are so many opportunities now, and you can make money doing anything. Why should I leave tens of thousands of dollars here and wait for a slow return? "
Su Miao and Su Yuan were watching over the shop and secretly winked at their fat uncle.
The fat uncle asked, "What's the current price of your store?"
Boss Tan held up four fingers and replied, "Forty thousand yuan, all taxes and fees included. That's the lowest price!"
When the fat uncle heard this, his eyes widened immediately and he raised his voice and said, "Are you trying to take advantage of me with this price? My company is upstairs and I've been looking after this shop for years! You bought it for 40,000 yuan and it didn't work out, so you're still selling it for 40,000 yuan now?"
Boss Tan quickly explained, "Oh, I bought it last year, and now the store prices are going up. I'd be losing money if I sold it at the original price!"
The fat uncle crossed his arms and retorted bluntly, "Wu Ru! You lost money because you bought it too expensive! What does it have to do with us? Look at what you have earned in a year.
Hey! If this shop was really profitable, you wouldn't sell it out. Only popular shops raise their prices, and yours isn't a popular shop either!"
Boss Tan was speechless after what the fat uncle said and could only try to find some excuses by rambling.
But in the end, he couldn't fool anyone, so he said helplessly:
"Then lower it by another two thousand. This is already the lowest. Just take a look for yourselves! How many people have passed by since we came to see the shop? This is the most prosperous area in Nancheng!"
The fat uncle touched his chin, rolled his eyes, and said:
"Boss Tan, although there is a lot of traffic here, your shop is too small and has many problems.
Look at the walls, the paint has fallen off quite a bit, and the floor is full of potholes. Renovating it will cost a fortune. I think the price needs to be lowered.”
Upon hearing this, Boss Tan became anxious and quickly waved his hands, "Boss Shi, you're putting me in a difficult position. The prices of the shops around here are not low.
If your niece opens a shop here, business will definitely be good. As for the decoration, it's very simple, just paint the walls and patch the floor."
The fat uncle shook his head and said dissatisfiedly, "So what if the location is good? Business is all about value for money. You already know you've sold the store and are looking for other opportunities, so why do you think this shop is worth the price?"
If the price of your shop is not suitable, my niece can look elsewhere. Yours is not the only shop for sale nearby."
After saying that, the fat uncle pulled Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng and prepared to go out.
Seeing this, Boss Tan was afraid that the deal would fall through, so he quickly stepped forward to stop them, putting on a smile on his face: "Boss Shi, don't worry! Let's discuss it properly!
Look, I really can't lower the price too much. The most I can give you is another 2,000 yuan, no more. At worst, I can help you paint the walls and patch the floors!"
The fat uncle stopped and turned around and said, "Boss Tan, I also sincerely want to buy your shop, and our target price is 28,000.
If you really want to sell, please do it quickly. We won’t buy it for more than this price.”
When Mr. Tan heard the fat uncle's offer of 28,000, a full 12,000 lower than his original asking price, he shook his head like a rattle and said firmly:
"Boss Shi, this is unacceptable! I bought this shop for 40,000 yuan, and the location is great, so the price is very reasonable. It's only been a little over a year, and you're going to cut my price by 12,000 yuan? I'm going to lose a lot of money!"
