Chapter 1474
But the problem is that the house is not very big, just one room, and the condition of the house is not very good.
The rent for a house like this is a thousand and twelve years, which is a bit high.
Xu Wanning talked directly to the landlord. She wanted to lower the price, but the landlord demanded a thousand and two dollars and didn't take any less.
"Since the price can't come down, forget it and stop renting."
Seeing Xu Wanning standing up to leave, Niu Aihua stood in front of her and stared at her: "You promised to open a grocery store for me, why don't you even have a house?" "Don't rent?"
"I didn't say not to rent, but this house is not worth the rent of one thousand and two thousand dollars a year. I support you to open a grocery store, but I am not a victim, and my money is not blown by the wind. It is impossible." It's such a waste of money to go out."
"But I've searched all over the neighborhood, and there is no more suitable house except this one!"
"No, then keep looking until you find a house that you are satisfied with and the price is acceptable to me. Let’s talk.”
After that, Xu Wanning didn’t care about Niu Aihua and walked straight out.
The landlord didn't expect that the man would leave after a disagreement, so he hurriedly stopped him.
"Let's discuss it again. If one thousand and two is too expensive, how about one thousand?"
"Not so good!"
Now the per capita salary is almost 60 yuan, and more than 70% of the people in Beijing cannot earn this much. It's obviously unreasonable to have a lot of money, but the rent is so much higher than the salary.
In later generations, in places with prosperous commerce, it was normal for the rent to be higher than the average annual salary. But now in the early 1980s, this phenomenon is abnormal!
The landlord lowered it a little further, to eight hundred.
Xu Wanning still disagreed.
"Then tell me how much it will cost!"
Xu Wanning looked around the house and then said slowly: "This house has the advantage of a relatively good location. The area is not large, and the quality of the house is not very good. The rent of sixty yuan a month is enough, which works out to seven hundred and twenty years. If you agree, we can settle it now. If you don't agree, we can only give up."
The landlord didn't know what to do except smile bitterly. What a reaction.
The rental price of the surrounding houses is basically fifty yuan a month. The location of his house is slightly better, at an intersection, so he can rent it for fifty-five yuan a month.
When Niu Aihua came to him before, he thought he could really rent it out at a high price of one thousand two hundred yuan. If he and Niu Aihua split the extra five hundred yuan, they would both get the advantage.
I didn't expect that the person who gave the rent was not stupid and couldn't fool him at all.
Moreover, the price Xu Wanning gave was slightly higher than the price on the market, so he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
"Okay, let's do what you said, seven hundred and twenty-one years. Our contract is for one year, and the rent must be paid for one year at a time."
"No problem."
Xu Wanning has it here She took out two copies of the drafted rental contract, and each held one copy with the landlord. Then she signed her name on each of the signatures, and then gave the rent to the landlord.
"I hope everyone will act in accordance with the contract. During this one-year period, if we want to vacate the house, you will directly withhold three months' rent. If you ask us to vacate the house, we will refund the remaining rent every penny. At the same time, we will also be compensated for three months’ rent. In addition, we are not allowed to increase the rent without authorization within this one-year period.”
“I understand, I understand the rules!”
The landlord took the money and kept the agreement. Then the key was given to Xu Wanning.
"This house is old. If you want to open a shop and do business, it must be renovated. I..."
"This is your own request, so you have to spend your own money to renovate it. It is impossible for me to contribute a penny!" The landlord said before Xu Wanning could.
After finally collecting more than 700 yuan in rent, he didn't want to give it away without changing hands.
Xu Wanning smiled: "I didn't want to ask you to give me money. I mean, this house is yours after all. If we want to renovate it, we must get your consent."
"I agree, as long as you don't push the house down. I have no objection to renovating it, but it should be kept as it is."
"I understand this."
After the landlord left, Xu Wanning gave one of the keys to Niu Aihua.
"I will find someone to renovate the house tomorrow, and we will talk about purchasing the goods after the house issue is resolved. It will not exceed a week at most. During this time, you can first explore how to start the business."
Niu Aihua took the hand from Xu Wanning . He grabbed the key and turned around to leave without saying a word, looking a little angry.
Of course Xu Wanning knew why she was angry, but it was simply that she went to the landlord directly and rented the house that Niu Aihua had quoted one thousand two thousand for seven hundred and two, without allowing Niu Aihua to take the kickback.
But Xu Wanning didn't care if she was angry, and her money didn't come from the strong wind. Why should she feel wronged and sulky because of Niu Aihua's personal emotions?
A few days later, the rented house was renovated. Xu Wanning also went to the market with Niu Aihua and purchased the supplies needed for the grocery store at extremely low cost prices.
After filling up the grocery store, the total cost of everything was only more than 700 and less than 800 yuan, which was a full thousand yuan difference from Niu Aihua's previous quote.
In other words, the total cost of opening a grocery store is only 1,500, but Niu Aihua quoted Xu Wanning 1,500.
If Xu Wanning was careless or just out of convenience and gave the money directly to Niu Aihua, it would mean that 1,500 yuan would go into Niu Aihua's own pocket.
While Niu Aihua was decorating the grocery store, Xu Wanning took another five hundred yuan and put it on the counter.
"After things are sold out, you must replenish them in time. The grocery store has just opened after all, and the money you have on hand may not be enough for the second purchase. I give you these five hundred yuan, so you can have an emergency when you are in a hurry."
"Now the grocery store has just opened. It's already started, and I've finally taken care of finding a job for you. If you encounter any problems in the future, I won't be able to help you."
"I don't need your help!" Niu Aihua was obviously still sulking at Xu Wanning: "I spent a total of two thousand yuan on you, and I remember it. Don't worry, after I open my grocery store and make money, I will definitely pay it back to you as soon as possible, and I will never take advantage of it." You're cheap!"
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to pay me back."
After saying that, Xu Wanning didn't stay any longer and left the grocery store.
Niu Aihua looked at her retreating back and spat hard on the ground.
"Isn't it just a good pregnancy? What is there to be proud of? I don't believe it. In the next few decades, my life will not be as good as yours!"
