592 Half a Year
They were not stupid and could tell that The Parade had potential.
This area was an industrial park. In other words, firstly, there would be many customers. Secondly, factories were open 24 hours a day. Some who worked night shifts could come and have fun during the day.
Although their consumption level was not high, they would gain a lot in terms of quantity.
However, before Chu Ning, no one would have thought of doing this in an industrial park. After all, it was similarly very profitable to open a factory.
“It’s not a problem to do it once every six months. I think The Parade won’t close down after half a year, right?” Chu Ning teased.
“President Chu is too good at joking.” After hearing Chu Ning’s words, Jiang Chuan’s expression immediately changed. Who would say that their own business would not last long?
After hearing Chu Ning’s answer, the others actually felt a little regretful. After all, Chu Ning had agreed very readily. Perhaps a one-year lease was not impossible?
“I’m not joking. To be honest, times are changing too quickly. We have to make adjustments at any time. It’s possible that a policy will relocate all the industrial parks in this area,” Chu Ning said softly as she fiddled with a pendant on her desk.
“That’s impossible.” Jiang Chuan looked at Chu Ning in horror.
“This area, within a radius of more than ten kilometers, was already an industrial park before I was born. I’m in my forties this year, which means that this place has existed for at least 40 years,” Jiang Chuan added.
“Because this place is suitable, because of its policies, geographical location, environmental factors, and so on.” Chu Ning nodded and did not refute.
“Then… President Chu, name a price. As long as it’s not too outrageous; even if it’s a little more expensive, it’s fine. After all, it won’t be long before many businesses come to you to discuss collaboration. We can be considered your first batch of customers,” Jiang Chuan declared excitedly.
This was what he and the others were most concerned about.
“Give me a figure.” Chu Ning didn’t suggest a price. She really didn’t know how much was suitable for the snack industry. Although she had heard that the snack industry was very profitable, in Chu Ning’s opinion, it was what they deserved.
After all, if they wanted their business to be good and to make money, they had to make tasty food and work hard. Both were indispensable.
In her memory, Chu Ning had watched a documentary before she transmigrated. If the makers of these specialty snacks set up a morning stall, they would have to wake up at two or three in the morning to prepare the ingredients. It was very tough. It was also difficult to earn money.
“Can we discuss for a while?” Jiang Chuan replied after a few seconds of hesitation.
“No problem. You guys can go back and have a discussion and give me an answer tomorrow,” Chu Ning replied straightforwardly.
“That won’t do. Tomorrow, someone might seize the opportunity.” Jiang Chuan vigorously shook his head, and so did the others. They seemed to be afraid that Chu Ning would go back on her word.
“Er… Fine, it’s up to you.” Chu Ning could only say this.
She was very tolerant of these people. In them, Chu Ning could see the image of her parents.
Ten minutes later, the intense discussion finally ceased.
Chu Ning didn’t understand what they were talking about. Although their voices were not soft, they were all speaking in dialect. To Chu Ning, it was like an encrypted conversation.
“President Chu, how about this? It’s not appropriate to pay too little, and we can’t afford too much. Half a year’s rent, 80,000 yuan per person. Do you think it’s appropriate?” Jiang Chuan looked at Chu Ning and asked as if he had made up his mind.
The smile on Chu Ning’s face remained unchanged.
She even suspected that she had misheard.
Half a year, six months, 80,000 yuan in rental fees?
“To think I still sympathized with them. It seems that I was overthinking thing,” Chu Ning couldn’t help but think.
One had to know that the combined annual income of her parents was not even 160,000 yuan. However, according to Jiang Chuan, the annual rent he had to pay Chu Ning was 160,000 yuan!
Chu Ning was rich. Her company still had more than 110 million yuan on the books. Even if the Soaring Clouds Group spent tens of thousands every day currently, this did not mean that she was out of touch with the reality of society. She knew very well how difficult it was to earn money.
She gave Old Fang the other vagrants 150 yuan a day, which was already a little more than the average income of M City.
And now, the makers of these delicacies had to pay her 80,000 yuan in rent for just half a year…
And this was merely Jiang Chuan’s tentative offer.
