Chapter 5
Open a shop
Fang Xin walked into the real estate agency, and a cool breeze dispelled the heat from his body. The central air conditioning was on inside, making it very cool.
The staff inside just glanced at her a few times and didn't show any intention of taking the initiative to approach her.
The old employees all have long work experience and can roughly tell who can close a deal, but this young girl was dressed simply and had a childish look on her face. She didn't look like she was buying a house at all, but rather like she was looking for a job.
Fang Xin looked around and saw that no one was there to greet him, and he understood.
She shouted, "I want to buy a supermarket, who can I contact?"
A man who looked like a manager simply glanced at Fang Xin and waved at the new intern, "Xiao Li, go and receive him."
Xiao Li looked at Fang Xin, who was even younger than himself, and was a little hesitant. The probability of closing the deal was really low.
It was such a hot day and he didn't want to go out, as it would be a waste of time. However, he was a new intern and had no right to pick and choose his customers.
So she adjusted her expression, put on a fake smile, and walked over.
"Hello, ma'am, how can I help you?"
"Are there any supermarkets or drug stores for sale? I want to buy a supermarket or drug store."
Want to stockpile a lot of supplies.
Only if a store purchases in large quantities will it avoid arousing suspicion.
Or maybe she is just making trouble for herself and no one takes you seriously.
But no matter what, it's always better to keep a low profile.
Medicines are important life-sustaining supplies.
After the end of the world, due to extreme weather, people can easily get sick. Sometimes, just a small cold can be fatal.
If a person gets sick, it is very difficult to survive without medicine.
You can imagine how precious a pill of medicine is.
In the later period, there was no demand for it.
If you want to survive well in the apocalypse, food and medicine are of paramount importance.
Anyway, she has space and a place to store it, and it won’t go bad.
"Okay, this way please."
Fang Xin followed the intern to the reception area.
After Fang Xin sat down, the intern brought an iPad to Fang Xin.
"Here are the information of several supermarkets and pharmacies. Please take a look."
It contains the detailed address, all the information about the store, and pictures of the interior of the store.
"Can we discuss the price over the phone?" Fang Xin asked.
"OK."
This is great. You don't have to run from store to store one by one. When you find a store you like, you can call to negotiate the price. If the price is right, you can go over and take a look. You don't have to waste time and it can be done in one day.
At this time, the interns don’t want to run around one by one, so they’d better run less as it’s a waste of time anyway.
Later, Fang Xinxin took a fancy to two companies, but because they did not offer any discounts on price, she gave up.
Although she is rich, she is not a sucker.
I called two more stores and found out that they were not on the same street, but they were on adjacent streets and not too far away.
After we negotiated the price, the other party did not ask for an unreasonable price and was quite satisfied with the price.
Fang Xin has no requirements for location. Any place is fine. The store doesn't have to be too big, as long as it is not a large supermarket. There is no need for it and it would be a waste of money.
It took me a whole morning to pick out a supermarket and a pharmacy and negotiate the price.
Intern Xiao Li was stunned. It was done just like that. This was too fast. Some people would have to run around for several days, and still hesitate and struggle for several days. But this girl actually got it done in just one morning!
She felt like she was dreaming, and she got the order!
Fang Xin used the excuse of going to the car to get money, but he actually took the money out of the space, counted it, and put it away.
Half an hour later, Fang Xin returned with a bag of urea in his hand.
It took nearly two hours to complete all the formalities.
Both parties completed the transaction happily.
Fang Xin took out two large black plastic bags from the urea bag and handed them to both parties.
"You guys click."
Everyone: "…………."
Hey man, the urea bag in your hand is actually full of money! And you are still carrying the bag of money around.
Who would dare to believe it if I told them?
At this moment, the intern Xiao Li's face was full of excitement. He thought he had come here in vain, but unexpectedly he really got the order. Such a big pie hit him on the head. He still feels dizzy now.
He vowed never to judge people by appearance again and to treat every customer seriously.
The supermarket has two floors, with a total area of 380 square meters. Including three months' rent and the goods in the store, the total cost is 2.1 million.
The first floor has a vegetable and fruit area, a snack area, a rice and noodle area, a beverage area, two display refrigerators, and two freezers.
The second floor is mostly occupied by daily necessities.
There are a lot of different things.
Except for the large household appliances, everything else is basically available.
The pharmacy is 390 square meters and cost 2.35 million yuan.
There is a Chinese medicine counter on the left side of the door and a Western medicine counter on the right side.
This is also the place that Fang Xin is quite satisfied with. Both Chinese and Western medicines are available, and purchasing is also very convenient.
I also searched online for warehouse rental information.
Warehouses must be located away from residential areas.
To prevent being targeted by people with ulterior motives, the more people there are, the more trouble there will be.
She simply doesn't have time to deal with all that messy trouble, so she tries to avoid it as much as possible.
Fang Xin rented a warehouse not far from a supermarket and a pharmacy, about 20 minutes’ drive away.
This should be a private warehouse.
There is a yard after entering the gate, and there is a tin house in the yard, which should be where the warehouse manager lives.
The lease had to start in March, so I rented for three months.
Overall very satisfied.
The preliminary plan has been completed, and the next step is to purchase goods continuously.
She has completed the class leap from an ordinary citizen to a small boss with some assets.
Well, it feels good, very nice.
He looked at the old mobile phone in his hand. This old phone was totally unsuitable for a boss. He looked around and found a nearby mobile phone store. He bought a new phone and a new SIM card.
She threw the old phone into the space, not wanting to be disturbed by certain people. She had a lot of things to do now and didn't have time to deal with them.
Thinking that she would not be able to watch movies or TV shows in the future without the Internet, she immediately decided to download more things so that she could kill time when she was bored.
She plunged into the computer city.
Just walking into any counter is not just random.
See which store has the least business and go there.
Those with good business may not be the first to do your business.
"Hello beautiful lady, what can I do for you?"
A boy in his early 20s greeted me warmly.
"I want to buy some hard drives and download some stuff, can I do that?"
"I can, I must, I must."
"Movies, TV series, animations, sketches, variety shows, documentaries, planting, breeding, medicine, machinery, cooking, stand-alone games, etc. from the past 20 years."
Since you are only downloading once, you might as well download everything that can be downloaded and keep it for future use in case you need it.
The boy was a little surprised after hearing Fang Xin's request.
"So many"
Fang Xin lied casually: "I don't know either. I'm just an employee. I do whatever my boss asks me to do."
The boy smiled.
There are a lot of things downloaded, so a lot of mobile hard drives are needed. You can make a lot of money by selling hard drives. As long as you have money to make, who cares?
"I downloaded a lot of stuff, so I might need a lot of hard drives, and I definitely can't handle it all by myself, so the price might be a bit higher."
Fang Xin understood: "Okay, you can sort it out as you see fit. The more the better, but don't repeat anything. Categorize the files and label them properly. Don't make a mess."
"Well, you'll see."
Fang Xin paid a deposit of 6,000 yuan and agreed to pick it up a week later.
