Chapter 993 The Offer is Too High to Refuse
"Why did you ask the landlord to come over?"
When going downstairs, Wang Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
She had just read the rental contract, which clearly stated that the lessee could transfer the store at will during the lease period and the landlord would not interfere.
When you transfer here, just say hello to the landlord.
In addition, if she wanted to ask about the rent, Wang Xiaoxiao didn’t think her high school classmates would lie to her about this, after all, it was clearly written in the lease contract.
“Buy a house.”
“…”
On the way here, Zhou Anan had asked his beautiful secretary to contact Manager Feng of Anleju Real Estate Agency, who had previously helped him with the house purchase matters. Then he found the owner of this small low-rise shop and proposed... to buy it.
Do I need to pay rent to open a clothing store?
Of course, if he bought it, he would be Miss Wang’s landlord.
The rent still needs to be paid, but Miss Wang’s plan to open a store will definitely not be ruined by unexpected events such as rent increases or resales.
"Mr. Zhou, this is Ms. Gu, the owner of this house, and this is Mr. Zhou who is interested in buying it."
Seeing the big boss coming down, Feng Yujia, manager of the Hangzhou Anleju branch, stepped forward quickly and introduced the middle-aged woman next to her.
This generous boss is their super VIP. If he wants to sell the properties in his hands, he will get a considerable commission.
"Hello, Ms. Gu."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Seeing the other person's demeanor, the middle-aged woman had a kind smile on her face.
She didn't want to sell this house with an annual rent of more than 200,000 yuan, but the price offered by the other party was too high for her to refuse.
Well, I was lucky enough to meet the girl who previously rented a house to open a clothing store and was willing to pay 30,000 yuan a month in rent.
Generally speaking, her house, which is not on the street, costs only 200,000 to 250,000 yuan a year, and its market price is about 3 million yuan.
But the other party directly offered a high price of 4 million, and it was a one-time full payment, which was really impossible to refuse.
With this money, she could easily buy two shops of the same size in other streets in Hangzhou, and the total rent she could collect would be at least 300,000 yuan.
"Ms. Gu, Manager Feng has told you the price. If there is no problem, let's sign the contract."
When it comes to buying a house, Zhou Anan is an old hand and went straight to the point.
The agent has done the due diligence, so there is no need to worry about any disputes. It will just be a little more commission.
Is Mr. Zhou short of that little money to buy a house?
"OK."
Ms. Gu also likes such a straightforward buyer.
Most importantly, she also wanted to get the full amount in cash as soon as possible so she could invest elsewhere.
After all, the price of houses in Hangzhou changes every day. Unfortunately, the price of this kind of non-street-facing shops does not increase. Otherwise, she would not be willing to sell it so early.
"Xiao Xiao, does your boyfriend buy directly from the store?"
The young girl standing next to Wang Xiaoxiao looked at the people sitting on the sofa signing the contract and asked in astonishment.
When the other party first came in, Xu Xiaoxiang thought that the other party was ordinary, and it was a bit too high for him to be with the now very beautiful Wang Xiaoxiao.
But when she saw the other party buying the store right away, she suddenly found that he had many shining points, and now she felt that he was very mature and steady.
Sure enough, all the pretty female classmates are looking for rich boyfriends.
I wonder how Yu Xianer, who often goes out with Wang Xiaoxiao, is doing now?
Did you also find a rich boyfriend?
However, this time when she returned to her hometown in Wencheng for a blind date, she had to find a reliable man with a material foundation. A woman who had been hurt in love no longer had any extravagant expectations for love.
“I think so.”
Hearing the address Xu Xiaoxiang said, Wang Xiaoxiao subconsciously wanted to explain, but stopped before she spoke, because no one else would hear it anyway.
As for the groundless speculations in the minds of her high school female classmates, she was even less interested.
Well, if An Xiaodi buys this shop and changes her landlord to the other party, she will have more confidence in running this clothing store.
Even if business is bad and you can't pay the rent, you won't be kicked out, right?
Hahaha.
"By the way, what are you going to do after you take over this store?"
Seeing that there was no risk in transferring the store, Xu Xiaoxiang asked his high school female classmate about her plans.
You know, she has run this clothing store for more than half a year. At the beginning, she was ambitious to make her own career in Hangzhou, the provincial capital, but ended up losing most of the start-up fund given by her parents.
If it weren't for Wang Xiaoxiao, her high school classmate, who helped to cover the cost, she would have really gone bankrupt, and she would not even have any free funds when she returned to her hometown in Wencheng.
"Keep running the clothing store."
Regarding this question, Wang Xiaoxiao answered without thinking.
However, she did not say that all the low-end priced clothing here should be cleared out and replaced with high-end clothing from major foreign brands, custom-made clothing, etc. That would not be very friendly to this high school girl who had just been frustrated by a business failure.
After Brother An’s reminder just now, Wang Xiaoxiao already had a very clear idea in her mind.
Backed by the large platform of Blue Whale Entertainment, the company's high-end custom-made clothes that have been used once by female stars are sold as second-hand clothes, which is also a considerable market. After all, female artists will basically not wear high-end custom-made clothes worn once in public for a second time.
Add a few new haute couture items and some brand-name bags, use the ones you like and sell the rest, it would be perfect.
"There is a lot of traffic here, but the clothing store business doesn't seem to be doing well."
Faced with a sincere face from a high school female classmate, Xu Xiaoxiang, who felt guilty, still felt that he should tell her the actual situation.
When she transferred the shop before, she said that she was going back to her hometown to develop business, and the rent for the remaining few months was not mentioned. The transfer fee of the clothing was not reduced at all, and the transfer fee was calculated based on the highest sales price.
After the other party actually opened a clothing store, she found that the business was not as good as she said, and the friendship between classmates might be gone.
The other party is such a wealthy young second-generation, she may have the opportunity to ask him for help in the future, but she still has to keep some good impression of him.
"It's okay. I just opened a clothing store as a sideline anyway."
Waving her hand, Wang Xiaoxiao generously decided not to provoke her high school female classmate who had failed in business.
For her, this investment of more than 200,000 yuan is only half a year's salary. If you include the year-end bonus, it will be no big deal.
Now she was thinking about her own high-end clothing store and she was already excited.
"All right."
Hearing Wang Xiaoxiao say this, the joy of successfully transferring and recovering funds prevailed, and Xu Xiaoyang didn't say much.
That’s right, with such a rich boyfriend, this high school girl shouldn’t care about such a small loss.
Besides, apart from charging a little more for the clothing transfer fee, she also did not charge the other party for the store transfer fee, so it was not too unfair.
"Ms. Gu, I'll trouble you to make the trip tomorrow."
Soon, Zhou Anan, who had signed the contract and paid a deposit of 300,000 yuan, said to the original landlord with a smile.
In name, he is already the new landlord of the shop and is just waiting for the other party and the agent who holds his authorization letter to complete the transfer formalities tomorrow.
This small two-story shop was bought for 4 million. Although it was a premium of one million over the market price, it would recover in two years.
After ten years or so, he can still earn nearly 2 million, so he won't lose anything.
“It should be.”
Ms. Gu was all smiles after receiving the deposit and didn't feel it was a hassle at all. She planned to go look at other houses with the agency manager tomorrow.
The intermediary company entrusted by this kind of young wealthy person will never be wrong and is reliable.
"Okay, from now on I'll be your new landlord."
After seeing off Manager Feng and the other man, Zhou Anan came up to Miss Wang and said something with a smile.
"Landlord, please take care of me in the future."
After hearing what An Xiaodi said, Wang Xiaoxiao smiled playfully and stretched out her hand to shake hands with the other party.
"Have you guys reached an agreement? If you have, let's go have a midnight snack together."
After taking a look at the female classmate who was pretty but quite ordinary compared to Miss Wang, Zhou Anan's gaze did not linger at all, and was always on the beautiful Miss Wang.
This female classmate is slightly inferior to Miss Wang in terms of appearance, figure, dimples, and fashion sense. All in all, there is no comparison between them.
It seems that he did not see Miss Wang at her high school reunion last time. After all, her dressing style was quite conspicuous.
"Okay. Xiao-shang, do you have anything else to do?"
"It's all right."
"Then let's have a midnight snack together."
It is not suitable to eat barbecue on a hot day, nor is it suitable to eat a hot pot. I am tired of the Hong Kong-style snacks in the teahouse on the shore. The Nine-Day Crab, which specializes in seafood, is quite good.
Apart from other things, it is mainly high-end and classy, expensive, with the average consumption per person starting from 1,000.
When inviting Miss Wang and her frustrated female classmate who is about to leave Hangzhou to have a midnight snack, of course the food cannot be too low-end.
In addition, the oysters, sea cucumbers and scallops here are all very good. It is a midnight snack paradise recommended by Feng Erdai, and the price is not the main point.
"Xiao Xiao, does your boyfriend usually take you to these places to eat? I envy you so much. People like me can only watch from the doorstep."
While waiting for the young rich second-generation who drove the Maserati luxury car to go to the bathroom, Xu Xiaoyang asked quietly.
She had just looked at the prices on the menu, and most of them were above three digits, with the main dishes costing as much as four digits.
This midnight snack was enough to cover her food expenses for at least half a month.
On weekdays, Wang Xiaoxiao was a low-key person in high school, but she didn't expect to have such good fortune after graduating from university. It's really a different fate for different people.
"It's okay. I eat whatever he usually eats. I'm not picky."
Without An Xiaodi around, Wang Xiaoxiao did not resist at all when she heard others mention his boyfriend.
Anyway, it’s not like I haven’t asked Brother An to pretend to be my boyfriend before, so there’s no need to feel any psychological burden. It would be more troublesome to explain.
Not wanting to discuss these topics, Wang Xiaoxiao turned to ask the other party: "Why didn't I see you at the last class reunion?"
"What's the point of going to a class reunion like that? It's nothing more than watching Wang Hao, Kong Lumeng and other rich second-generations show off. For someone like me who did average in college and won't have a formal job after graduation, I naturally have no interest in going and humiliating myself."
Talking about this, Xu Xiaoyan had a melancholy look on her face. Naturally, she would not say that she was in love with her boyfriend at the time and was unable to go because of him.
However, there is actually a lot of truth in what she said. When I was lurking in the TT group of my high school classmates, I often saw those people bragging.
If she were in Wencheng, Xu Xiaoyan would at least be somewhat confident about her appearance. After all, she was considered the most beautiful girl in class during her junior high school years.
But when she went to high school in Hangzhou, there were many girls with names, wealth, power and looks. Xu Xiaoyang, who came from a relatively good family in her hometown, became a relatively ordinary female classmate.
Which girl would like a situation where she doesn't have a sense of superiority and has to look up to others?
"You think too much. We are high school classmates. We won't judge each other like this."
Wang Xiaoxiao had never encountered this kind of contempt chain before. When she thought about Kong Lumeng and others who often wanted to invite her to go shopping, she didn't feel it was so exaggerated.
It seems that those people are quite enthusiastic and friendly.
"You have such an outstanding boyfriend and a best friend like Yu Xian'er, so naturally you won't have any feelings. Someone like me..."
When talking about his feelings since graduating from university, Xu Xiaoyang was full of self-pity.
It was not until the young rich second generation came back that she quickly stopped the topic to avoid being looked down upon.
"What are you talking about?"
Sitting naturally next to Miss Wang, Zhou Anan saw the waiter bringing the juice, so she personally put the orange juice in front of Miss Wang, and took the watermelon juice herself.
The waiter brought juice to another female classmate.
When a man works outside, he must distinguish between the primary and the secondary.
"You two have such a good relationship. I was just talking to Xiaoxiao about how you two get along with each other."
Looking at Wang Xiaoxiao who was being carefully cared for with envy and jealousy, Xu Xiaoyang took the pomegranate juice and spoke in time to answer the other party's question.
"Yeah?"
After taking a look at Miss Wang, Zhou Anan didn't ask any further questions and quietly became a listener and diner.
After listening to Miss Wang and her boyfriend chatting about interesting things in high school during the meal, Zhou Anan, who had a small glass of red wine, naturally did not drive again. Instead, he took the Mercedes-Benz to send the high school girl back home first.
Seeing the young rich second-generation who had changed to a luxury car and was being picked up by a driver, Xu Xiaoyang was too tired to complain about the huge gap between the two.
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
After getting off the bus at the residential complex where he rented, Xu Xiaoxiang stood there looking at the taillights of the Mercedes-Benz going away and suddenly felt that this summer night was a little chilly.
"See you later, young lady."
"See you later."
After sending Miss Wang back to the villa in Nanzhouyuan, Zhou Anan did not leave the community, but went to Building 1 and took the elevator directly upstairs.
"drop."
At the door of Room 1111, Zhou Anan opened the door with the password. After walking through the entrance hall, she saw the beauty sitting on the sofa in the living room slowly standing up.
Different from the somewhat strange aesthetic of the Condor Festival organizers, Shi Shi's Condor Goddess costume this time was entirely sponsored and designed by the company at a cost of millions.
The gold color sparkles with the brilliance of gems, and the well-fitting design shows off Shi Shi's figure to the fullest. Combined with her beautiful face, she looks like a goddess dressed in golden fairy clothes, fallen to earth.
"Does my dress look good?"
Noticing the fire in the young boss's eyes, the golden goddess slowly approached and asked softly.
"nice."
“Don’t break it.”
…
As a high-end entertainment company, many of its TV series were shortlisted for the Divine Eagle Awards last year, with many winners. Blue Whale Entertainment directly booked the first-class and business-class seats of a Xiamen Airlines flight from Hangzhou to Nanhu.
Since General Manager Feng was sitting next to her, Zhou Anan avoided the issue of who she had to get close to and treated all the female artists in the company equally.
It is not easy to keep everyone fair.
"You said that after the Condor Festival was changed to be held every two years, the style has returned. In the past two years, the Condor Goddess has become more popular. It should be no problem for us to have a TV festival."
After the plane entered the stratosphere, Feng Jiming put down his earplugs and turned to ask the major shareholder a few meters away.
"Don't think about dividing the pie and satisfying everyone. It should be feasible to take into account the opinions of the audience."
Zhou Anan is more supportive of General Manager Feng's idea of continuing to create brilliance.
As for the current domestic TV festivals, either they think about dividing the cake and everyone is happy;
Or you can learn from foreigners and give the awards to art films that even the audience is not aware of.
In the long run, the audience was very disappointed. It had no significant influence at all, and the ratings of live TV were getting lower and lower every year.
"You also agree, why has our company not responded to the cooperation invitation sent to Mingliu Group?"
Hearing the approval of the major shareholder, Feng Jiming directly asked about the other party's behind-the-scenes controller of the celebrity group.
No matter how conceited Feng Jiming was, he would not think of relying solely on Blue Whale Entertainment to support a TV festival, so he set his sights on the Mingliu Group, which was worth tens of billions.
With the bond of a major shareholder, the cooperation between the two companies should be more pleasant.
As a result, the cooperation letter he had someone send received no response after nearly a week.
"Has Mingliu Group received any invitation for cooperation?"
Turning around and asking the beautiful secretary not far away, Zhou Anan asked with some confusion.
He did not directly manage the company's operations, and he ignored some small matters, only focusing on the company's general direction.
"Yes, but Mr. Qi and his colleagues think that the Celebrity Group already has an annual Micro-Customer Night, so there is no need to spend money to host a TV festival that does not bring in any profit."
Hearing the boss' question, Huang Ying quickly called up the relevant information from her mind and answered quickly and concisely.
