Tang Shen came out of the construction site and took a detour to a store.
There was a queue at the door, and many customers were looking forward to it, waiting for their turn.
Originally, this store had two floors that could accommodate dozens of guests. When Tang Can and Qin Zijin first rented it, they thought it was enough. However, they never expected that people's living standards have improved nowadays. In addition, Guangzhou is also the largest city in the south, so the consumption capacity here is really not bad, and it can catch up with Beijing.
In addition, the food here tastes good, and after eating it, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, my body feels a lot better. As a result, more and more customers come here.
Tang Can had no intention of going in. He looked at the door and was about to leave when he ran into the landlord who was hurrying over.
When Qin Zijin first rented the shop, the monthly rent was 20 yuan. At first, the business was not very good because of the high price and few people came. Liu Qiang was afraid that Qin Zijin would leave after renting the shop for two or three months, so he came to her and signed a ten-year lease with her.
Qin Zijin felt that the landlord might not be very smart. After all, ten years is a long time and many things will change. Although he could get a good amount of money in one go by renting the house for ten years, the rent in this area would rise sharply in a few years.
Later, Liu Qiang raised the rent a little and rented it to Qin Zijin for ten years at a price of five hundred yuan a year. He collected the rent for ten years in one go, which was five thousand yuan.
At the time, the landlord thought he had gotten a great bargain.
After all, his store seems to be poisonous. Several tenants closed it down within a few months of operating it.
He originally thought that Qin Zijin would be the same, but he didn't expect that his business would become more and more prosperous. Now he is envious and jealous, but there is nothing he can do.
Qin Zijin was also afraid that Liu Qiang would go back on his word later, so the two of them signed the contract very formally and even found someone to notarize it.
At that time, the notaries thought that Qin Zijin was a sucker, but Qin Zijin slapped everyone in the face with his actions. Now the business of the store is booming, and he can earn ten years' rent in one day.
Liu Qiang regretted it very much. He had come here several times, but he was too embarrassed to find Qin Zijin to tell him that he wanted to raise the rent. However, now he saw that the rents of the surrounding shops had increased, and even many old friends who had a good relationship with him came to laugh at him for being too hasty in renting. He really couldn't sit still, so he ran here to talk to Tang Can or Qin Zijin about this matter.
He waited here for a few days, but Qin Zijin and Tang Can rarely came to the store, so no one showed up.
Seeing Tang Shen approaching, he walked over with a cheeky smile and greeted him, "Boss Tang, are you here to check out the store?"
Tang Shen looked at him for a long time before he recognized him as the landlord. He nodded and looked at him puzzledly: "What are you doing?"
"I know your business is good, so I came to take a look." The landlord laughed dryly.
Tang Shen did not expose him, knowing that this person was simply jealous and was probably regretting it to the core.
If he hadn't been greedy from the beginning and wanted to cheat Qin Zijin out of ten years' rent by collecting ten years' rent in one go, he could still find an excuse to raise the rent. Unfortunately, he has no chance now.
Tang Shen didn't want to deal with this person either, so he nodded and prepared to leave.
"Well, Boss Tang, when I rented the house to you, the rent here was quite cheap. Now the rent nearby has doubled. You see..." Although the landlord felt embarrassed, he was still a little anxious when he saw the money was going into someone else's pocket, so he grabbed Tang Can and spoke with a shameless face.
Tang Can was stunned for a moment, frowned, and then spoke: "When we signed the contract, it was agreed that you would be paid the rent for ten years and the rent could not be raised within ten years. Isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"
"Isn't this just because plans can't keep up with changes? You can't let me lose money." The landlord said with a bitter face.
Tang Can smiled coldly, "Don't you know why the rents nearby are going up? It's because our store is doing well, which has boosted the surrounding businesses. Everyone's business is doing well, and the economy here is developing, so naturally the rents are rising as well."
"I'll be honest with you. I still think this store is a little too small. If you dare to raise the price, I'll just close the store and move to another location. I think there are plenty of people willing to rent the store to us and let us run the business."
Tang Shen was not polite at all.
The landlord's face changed when he heard this, and he looked a little dissatisfied.
He was about to speak when he heard a teasing laugh. "Oh, I was wondering who it was. Isn't it Boss Liu? What's the matter? Seeing that your shop's business has been good recently, you want to come and cause trouble for money?"
"I'm telling you, if you make Boss Tang unhappy and the store closes, there will be a lot of people who won't forgive you."
As soon as these words were spoken, many customers waiting in line for meals immediately glanced over with sharp eyes.
They have been looking forward to the restaurant reopening for a long time. If it really closes again, they will probably want to kill someone.
Liu Qiang also felt very sad.
How could he have thought of this?
Seeing everyone's murderous eyes, he didn't dare to say anything more and quickly slipped away in fear.
He was afraid if he didn't leave, afraid of being beaten.
After all, those guests looked very fierce, as if they wanted to beat him up.
As the person left, the person who had just spoken couldn't help but spit and curse, "What the hell!"
