Head straight to the village.
Wu An first inspected the construction site. It was just past lunchtime, and the workers were all resting. Li Xin, a student of Teacher Fan and a friend of Mai Hangyu, was also on site.
Mai Hangyu greeted him.
Li Xin, wearing a safety helmet, ran over to greet him, addressing him as "General Manager Wu" repeatedly.
Don't say it.
Don't tell.
Hearing people shout like that, Wu An felt quite excited.
Originally, he planned to just take a quick look around the construction site and leave on this hot day, but he stayed a little longer. If Mai Hangyu hadn't received a call saying that the shop owner in town had arranged to meet him, he would have wanted to linger a bit longer and wander around the workers one more time.
I went back to Maijia.
Old Mai wasn't there; he went fishing.
However, he had already found out about the shop's location; the landlord was now the one running the milk tea shop.
He could be considered a rich second-generation.
His father was from the town and was a capable man. Years ago, before the town had become a significant place, he bought several plots of land and built the house he has now.
Once the town matured and developed into the bustling market it is today, these storefronts naturally became valuable.
It has increased many times over since he bought the land.
It was merely a small test of their skills.
More than a decade ago, at the beginning of the new millennium, this person sold several storefronts and moved to the county town, where he began buying land and houses in the county and city.
I heard that a commercial building that just started in the county was bought up by someone who bought an entire floor. It opened for business last year and is already collecting a lot of rent every year.
As Wu An listened to Mai Hangyu's explanation, he couldn't help but nod in agreement, secretly admiring Mai's foresight.
Look.
There are countless ways to get rich. In his view, the time it took him more than ten or twenty years to accumulate his capital was not fast, but it was steady.
But nothing is more comfortable or more lucrative than being a landlord.
In business, there are gains and losses. If you lose money, that's one thing, but even if you make money, a portion of it goes to the landlord.
To put it bluntly, they might not even make as much money as landlords do in business.
You work hard from dawn till dusk to run a business, only to end up working for the landlord.
Isn't this frustrating?
What's even more upsetting is that the landlord might get jealous and kick them out, taking over the business as well.
He's buying storefronts and houses now because he actually wants to be a landlord.
Now that everyone's been reborn, who wants to experience being a landlord and see if it's really as great as they imagine?
As long as his son and grandson don't start their own businesses, they can comfortably enjoy life for generations by simply holding dozens of keys and diligently collecting rent.
From the perspective of a bubble tea shop owner, starting a business would not have yielded very good results.
I can't keep doing this anymore.
Wu An had bought milk tea at the milk tea shop before, and the milk tea was quite ordinary and had nothing special about it.
The renovation is quite nice, though.
Last time I just came to buy a milk tea and didn't take a closer look at the milk tea shop.
Upon entering the milk tea shop, he took a closer look and had to admit that the owner was indeed very wealthy.
The decoration is very nice.
It's the kind of business that can operate by simply changing the brand, but it's not suitable for running a snack shop.
I still have to make milk tea.
During this period, he has been in contact with the sales staff of several milk tea brands and is planning to become a regional distributor and then a city-level distributor.
Once it's finalized, hundreds of thousands will be poured in.
For ordinary people, it's nothing short of a high-stakes gamble.
This area is very complex, and some of the scams are designed to rip people off.
If he didn't have money and wasn't a reincarnated person, he wouldn't dare to make a move so easily.
The boss, surnamed Fang, was about 25 or 26 years old, with a bit of a beard and slightly messy hair.
It's clear that the dismal business at the milk tea shop has taken a toll on him.
While idly playing on his phone, he saw Wu An and the others walk in and assumed they were business partners, so he instinctively greeted them.
Upon seeing Mai Hangyu, the smile on his face vanished instantly: "Buying a house?"
Mai Hangyu greeted them and they introduced themselves.
Seeing that Wu An was so young, Boss Fang assumed that the young man was a rich second-generation like himself and said, "The actual usable area of the house is 25 square meters, and the price is 150,000 yuan."
It costs 6,000 yuan per square meter, which is slightly higher than the price of commercial housing in the county.
But this is a storefront.
Even in town, it's much more expensive than a house that's just for living in.
If you were to rent a storefront in town, the annual rent for this milk tea shop would be around [amount missing].
The price offered by Boss Fang was only so-so; since he could offer a fixed price, Wu An certainly wouldn't just agree to it so easily.
It's buying a house, not a cabbage.
He asked, "How much do you charge for the equipment and decorations in your shop?"
"I may not open a bubble tea shop later."
Wu An smiled, revealing an innocent smile, and said, "I won't lie to you, actually my girlfriend wants to open a snack shop, so I asked Mai Hangyu to find a suitable store."
Mr. Fang's face crumpled as he looked around the milk tea shop he had poured his heart and soul into. He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and said, "Take it or leave it. If you don't want to do it, you can do whatever you want with it!"
"On the condition that you don't dawdle with me."
“I was originally going to rent it out, but I thought it would be too much trouble, so I decided to sell it to you directly.”
He is the second child in his family.
I had hoped to impress my father by opening this milk tea shop, but I ended up embarrassing myself instead.
The old man has already told him to hurry back and sell the shop in town, then use the money to speculate on real estate.
He will never be able to run a milk tea business again; he can only be an ordinary rich kid.
Dealing with all that stuff in the shop is a hassle, and it's not worth wasting time and money on that.
Wu An nodded and said, "Thank you, boss. Then I won't be polite."
"I have one more question."
"I see this house has a second floor, are you not selling it?"
Mr. Fang said, "This milk tea shop is located on the westernmost side of the storefront that my father built, so there is no second floor."
"That's how it is... Back then, I don't know if my father did it to save money or to make the middle storefronts more valuable, but he allocated the second-floor space to the middle storefronts."
Wu An remained silent.
You can play it like this?
How are property rights calculated? How is land valued?
Wu An had a lot of questions popping into his head, but he also knew that all of these questions must have been resolved, otherwise Boss Fang wouldn't have said those things.
The houses in the town, even though they are storefronts along the street, are still in the countryside, especially these private houses, which are not very standardized to begin with.
Mr. Fang continued, "If you buy those storefronts, the second floor can be given to you for free, but of course, the price will be quite high."
Wu An's eyes widened: "A gift?"
Mr. Fang smiled and said, "Yes, you heard me right, it's a gift."
"If you buy the entire storefront, it's 300 square meters in total, and the two floors together make 600 square meters."
"I can give you a discount, a flat price of 1.5 million."
Wu An was stunned.
His eyes were wide open, and to onlookers he looked somewhat dazed.
He was excited at that moment.
No way?
What a wonderful thing!!!
