While the students and the program crew were packing up their equipment and getting ready to leave, Xu Shang took the lead and arrived at the provincial capital center.
Tianya Village Food Court store is still doing a booming business.
The first thing to do is to open a second branch in the provincial capital center.
Seeing that the Plaza store could not accommodate so many customers, Xu Shang's first thought was to buy another store near the Plaza and open the second Plaza store directly.
After all, the principle that Xu Shang has always adhered to is that allowing customers to enjoy food in the store should be the obligation of a restaurant.
This also has its advantages. There is vacant space in the employee dormitories, and if the two stores are close to each other, it will be more convenient to manage and support each other.
But when Xu Shang was about to discuss leasing or purchasing, he found that these shop owners seemed to have seen their beloved suckers and increased the prices by at least 50% compared to a month ago.
"Boss Xu, your business is so good, this little money must be easy for you!"
After hearing what one of the landlords said, Xu Shang almost couldn't help but kick him.
What a fallacy!
Just because my business is good, does that mean I have to pay you more rent?
However, after careful inquiry, Xu Shang found that the overall rent of the entire plaza store had increased by at least 10%, especially the storefronts around the Central Plaza, where the rent had increased by at least 20%.
Xu Shang took a quick look and discovered that all the shops in the square were filled with movable disposable stools and parasols at the door. Those who couldn't get a seat at Tianya Village's food restaurant naturally came over to sit.
Since they are here, they certainly don’t want to sit there for nothing. Some people will also buy something in these stores… Some stores even directly hang signs -
"You are not allowed to sit down without purchasing in this restaurant!"
Xu Shang finally understood it.
Good, good, good!
I plant the trees and you enjoy the shade.
You're still treating me as a sucker, right?
I didn't expect that after only training employees for a month, my colleagues here were already thinking about teaching me a lesson.
but,
You can all pose!
Then I can do it too!
Xu Shang has always been petty, so he immediately found the operator of the square and asked the restaurant to place a large number of tables, chairs and benches in the square, otherwise he would move.
When the other party heard what Xu Shang said, he immediately became anxious.
Although he didn't know whether what Xu Shang said was true or just angrily, the customer flow brought by the Tianya Village Food Store and the increase in rent brought by this customer flow were real. If Xu Shang really ran away in anger, he could simply turn this store into a clay sculpture shop and move the food store to another place.
Then he really has no words to express his suffering!
Therefore, the owner of the plaza decided to mark out an area of the plaza facing Xu Shang's shop and give it to Xu Shang for use, where he could put up parasols and simple tables, chairs and benches.
However, in return, Xu Shang has to pay a certain amount of rental fees and ensure the hygiene of the area.
In order to keep the Tianya Food Restaurant's sign, the plaza owner offered a very low rental fee. After both parties signed the agreement, Xu Shang suddenly discovered.
The problem of insufficient seats at the Tianya Village Food Court has been alleviated by at least half, if not completely solved.
With more dining seats in the square, it is really similar to the future "food court" format.
Xu Shang talked to the owner of the plaza about whether there were any vacant shops.
However, thanks to Xu Shang, the shops in this square are currently very popular, with no worries about renting or selling.
The plaza owners are naturally happy to run the shops themselves, collecting rent and service industries at the same time. They are so excited that they are about to burst into tears, so naturally they are unwilling to give up their golden goose.
Even if you take it out, it would cost the same as several golden roosters!
After all, for the owner of the plaza, the traffic-drawing effect of one Tianya Village food store is completely sufficient, and adding another one will not make any difference, and it is not worth his special treatment.
But for other shopping mall owners, this is obviously not the case.
As soon as Xu Shang left the plaza owner's place, someone smelled the scent and found him at the speed of light.
The visitor was polite and said his surname was Shen.
Boss Shen smiled and said, "Boss Xu! I have known you for a long time and have come to see you several times. But I heard that you were busy competing with others on CCTV, so I never had the chance!"
"I heard you were back in the provincial capital, so I came to see you as soon as possible!"
Xu Shang looked at Boss Shen who came uninvited.
Look at the Patek Philippe jadeite on his wrist that inadvertently reflects the sunlight, the Bentley car keys hanging on the leather crocodile belt that are slightly accidentally exposed, and the exquisite handmade custom-made clothes.
Xu Shang immediately realized that this person's strength was even greater than that of his nouveau riche father.
So, why did such a powerful person express his desire to meet me again and again?
"Hello, Mr. Shen. I wonder if Mr. Shen wants to meet with a small businessman like me. What advice do you have?"
"Hey, Boss Xu, you are too polite. Everyone in the provincial capital knows that you are a rising star in the catering industry... I won't keep you in suspense. I wonder if Boss Xu has ever thought about moving the store to somewhere else?"
Xu Shang raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "The Plaza store has no plans to move at the moment, but I recently had the idea of opening a branch store!"
Boss Shen also smiled immediately: "It's good to open a branch! It's time to open a branch! Look at the customers in this square, some of them drove a long way from the city, and when they came, there was no seat... How can we not open a branch?"
"It just so happens! I recently opened a shopping mall with a storefront of over 400 square meters, which was originally designed for a large supermarket. If you are willing, Boss Xu, I will sell it to you at a 50% discount. What do you think?"
"Boss Shen, are you so nice?" Xu Shang had a playful smile on his face.
"Hahaha, everyone says I'm a good person!"
Boss Shen also laughed and revealed his true purpose:
"Of course, there is a small but insignificant condition, which is that this storefront can only be used as a Tianya Village food store within 20 years. But Boss Xu, you shouldn't use it for anything else, after all, this is such a profitable business!"
Xu Shang naturally understood Boss Shen's intention.
In fact, he should have thought of it earlier. After all, there shouldn't be too many of these kinds of games in the future.
In later generations, there were many places that gave land to enterprises for free. Some places even paid money to invite large shopping malls like Wada Plaza to move in on the free land.
Even around us, if we are interested, we will find that when the surrounding large shopping malls were first opened, many supermarkets were free to enter, and some supermarkets even paid tens of millions of dollars a year.
What all of this is looking at is, of course, the flow of people and the considerable agglomeration effect brought about by these special businesses!
A living example is,
The stores around the Plaza store have seen a significant increase of 10% to 20% in both sales and rental prices, and are still in short supply.
Chairman Xu immediately had an idea in mind and said with a smile:
"I want to have a good talk with you, Boss Shen, about this store!"
