Chapter 133

Open a shop?

That seems like a good idea?

Of course, if it's other seasons, you don't have to toss about like this. Just go out to Houhai with your thoughts every day.

Over time, she will naturally meet some new friends.

But unfortunately, it's winter, and it's winter in the north.

The temperature is low and the wind is strong. Before the skating rink was officially opened, Shichahai was very popular during the day.

Of course, the so-called dismal popularity refers to the day.

Houhai is really busy at night.

If Sanlitun Bar Street is a fashionable route, Houhai bar street is undoubtedly a literary route.

Yishui alley, gathered near the sea, has no noisy music. The melodious song, coupled with the unique charm of old Shangjing, is definitely a melodious elegy in modern cities.

It's really good to open a shop in a place with fresh literature and art.

Anyway, they are idle all day. They open a shop to take care of the little guys. By the way, they can add some fun to life.

It's good to think about it.

But the question is, what kind of store do they open?

Chen Xi didn't have any ideas. Since it was Qin Ruoying's suggestion, just listen to her opinion, so she asked with a smile: "what store do you want to open?"

Hearing the speech, Qin Ruoying frowned and pondered.

They are not short of money. Opening a shop is purely for fun and create a new living environment for the little guy.

Business can't be too good. If it's too good, there's no time to take care of the children.

But it can't be too bad. If it's too bad, you can only stare at the door in a daze all day. It's better not to open it.

After thinking for a while, Qin Ruoying didn't think of a reason, so he proposed to go outside to see what shops there were around.

Houhai bar street took shape at an incomprehensible speed after the end of SARS more than a decade ago.

She vaguely remembers that there were only a few pubs here before.

But now, looking around, there are a lot of taverns on both sides of Houhai.

A family of three walked around Houhai. Qin Ruoying became more and more dissatisfied.

Chen Xi saw it in her eyes, but she never spoke.

When the little guy ran to the railing and studied whether the lake was frozen or not, Chen Xi suddenly said with a smile: "Yingying, we just opened a shop to let Niannian get in touch with more people. As for what shop to open, it doesn't matter..."

Hearing the speech, Qin Ruoying was stunned.

After thinking about Chen Xi's words carefully, she said with some Entanglement: "I think it's wrong. Most of the bars here are really not suitable for opening a bookstore..."

Qin Ruoying's favorite shop is actually a bookstore.

But Houhai is a relatively mature business district after all.

Houhai bar street is even as famous as Sanlitun and Gongti. Therefore, in addition to bars, there are only some shops such as teahouses, restaurants and stalls, not even supermarket canteens.

Fame has decided that other stores cannot survive here, so Qin Ruoying thought for a long time and didn't think what kind of store they should open.

Seeing her tangled face, Chen Xi smiled and suggested, "didn't you see a sign for store transfer outside a teahouse just now? Shall we take it over? "

"Teahouse?"

Qin Ruoying was surprised, but after seeing Chen Xi's serious expression, she had to seriously think about the proposal.

In fact, Qin Ruoying prefers coffee shops to teahouses.

But unfortunately, coffee is a western culture after all, so when you come to Houhai, a place with great folk charm, you are a little acclimatized.

When they came along the road just now, they had seen several closed coffee shops.

There has been a saying of tea culture in China since ancient times. Tea flourished in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. From emperors, generals, literati, porters and traders to ordinary people, tea is good.

In the eyes of many young people, the style of coffee seems to be much higher than tea?

But in fact, coffee, cocoa and tea are called the three major non-alcoholic drinks in the world.

Silk, porcelain and tea are also the business cards handed to the world by China.

Before the rise of Houhai bar street, it was dominated by teahouses.

Every summer, Houhai Lake is open, the water is bright, the weeping willows on both sides are leaning, and the lights are dotted. The spires of the palace walls in the distance are reflected in the water, and from time to time, there are painted boats and boats paddling gently.

If you brew a pot of good tea at this time and sit quietly by the lake to taste it, wouldn't it be pleasant and beautiful?

This is a cultural charm, belonging to China and Houhai.

Qin Ruoying was moved.

So the couple immediately reached an agreement and asked the little guy to turn around and walk to the teahouse with the store transfer.

The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties. After hearing Chen Xi's explanation of his intention, he immediately enthusiastically introduced the situation of the teahouse to them.

The size of the teahouse is fairly good. The lobby is about seventy or eighty square meters, and there is a more than 50 square yard behind. The overall decoration is very antique, refined and elegant. The facade is owned by the boss. Because the business of the teahouse is really not very good now, the boss doesn't intend to continue to operate, and is ready to rent out the shop to collect some rent. The price of Houhai's shop is not cheap. It has a better facade. The rent of one square meter is about 300 yuan. In other words, for such a large shop, the monthly rent must be at least about 40000 yuan. One year down, the rent alone is nearly 500000, which is really an inch of land and an inch of money. Because the boss is the landlord, the transfer fee is saved, but the decoration fee still has to be paid. Chen Xi had a lot of money, but he didn't want to be a wrongdoer, so he talked about the price with his boss. After some bargaining, the boss agreed to charge only 200000 for decoration and the inventory in the shop. The rent is 35000 a month, paid once a year, plus a month's deposit. In order to prevent Chen Xi from charging decoration fees indiscriminately, the boss even took out his previous list of decoration fees and kept saying that he had spent more than 500000 to decorate the shop. If Chen Xi leased it to others, he could receive 400000 transfer fees alone. That said, believe it or not, it depends on Chen Xi. After all, this is not a trivial matter, so the boss thought the little couple would go back and discuss it. But what he didn't expect was that the couple didn't hesitate for long. After a brief discussion, they decided to rent it directly. After the price is settled, it's easy to see the real estate certificate, sign the contract, clear the account, count the goods, pay the money, and have a happy cooperation. Store transfer is actually a very troublesome thing. If you want to change the name of the store or change the business type of the store, you have to ask the boss to go to the industrial and commercial office to cancel the original business license, and then Chen Xi to re register. Chen Xi was too troublesome, so he didn't even bother to change his name. When the boss saw that he was so cheerful and signed a supplementary agreement with him, he was relieved to give him the original and copy of the business license. Therefore, in less than a day's effort, the teahouse, which is not far from Dongming Hutong and adjacent to Houhai, has completely changed its owner. Qingyi tea house. This is the new industry of their family of three. When Chen Xi signed the contract with the boss, the little guy took the big cat around the teahouse and touched things from time to time. He seemed very interested in it. Qin Ruoying was relieved when he saw her like that. Now, she just hopes that this teahouse can bring a different life experience to Niannian...
