593 Underestimating
Chu Ning felt that she had underestimated the actual profits of these people.
If they dared to offer such a price, it meant that their net profit would definitely be higher than the rent.
After deducting all the costs, Chu Ning felt that their annual income would not be less than 300,000 yuan, or even higher.
This was almost the same as the income of the managers of some big companies.
“President Chu, is this price still beneath your expectations? How about this?” Jiang Chuan saw that Chu Ning was deep in thought. He gritted his teeth and continued, “Half a year’s rent is 90,000 yuan. Any more and we will really be under a lot of pressure. Although the location of The Parade is very sought after, we’re not manning storefronts after all. We’re just small businesses!”
Jiang Chuan sounded a little anxious.
“President Chu, it’s not easy for us either. I have to pay off the mortgage for two houses and have to service a car loan every month. It’s not easy for me!”
“President Chu, my elder daughter is studying abroad; It’s clear without me talking about the minimum expenses for a year. And my younger son is attending an international primary school. Sigh, the pressure is really a little heavy!”
With Jiang Chuan taking the lead, the others also began to complain.
However, these words sounded a little comical to Chu Ning.
She had originally thought that 10,000 yuan would be about right for half a year’s rent.
If she had really said that, these people would probably be internally overjoyed. They definitely wouldn’t be like this, discussing the appropriate price with her.
Making gourmet snacks and being able to have two houses while paying off a car loan at the same time; letting their children study abroad and attend an international school… Chu Ning felt that she had underestimated the true income of these people. After all, she really didn’t understand the profits of this industry, and she didn’t plan to make money by collecting rent.
Now, it seemed that she was an innocent child who was stupid and rich.
“I didn’t say no. That settles it then.” Chu Ning coughed slightly to hide the embarrassment she felt. Such a rental fee was a pleasant surprise for her.
“They’re still doing business to earn money. Working is really just barely making ends meet,” Chu Ning lamented to herself.
Jiang Chuan had originally been sitting down. Upon hearing Chu Ning’s agreement, he stood up excitedly and gleefully said, “90,000? That’s great. Thank you, President Chu!”
“Thank you, President Chu! Before we came, I said that, looking at the development trend of The Parade, the boss here should definitely be a big shot who is bold and daring. Sure enough, you’re young and promising!”
“I mean, according to what you said the first time, 80,000 yuan. When you go back, you can tell your peers about this price. I won’t raise it. I welcome everyone to join The Parade. We’ll each have a piece of the pie, doing business together and enjoying mutual benefits,” Chu Ning said with a smile.
“This…” Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Jiang Chuan scratched his head in embarrassment.
In fact, the maximum that they could accept was 100,000 yuan for half a year. After all, they had roughly calculated that. Even with the current flow of people on The Parade, their annual net profit would be more than 400,000 yuan. Moreover, it would definitely exceed this figure in the future. Chu Ning only wanted 80,000 yuan for half a year and promised not to increase the price. It could be said that she was being benevolent.
“However, you can settle in, but you must abide by the rules. I can guarantee that as long as you do business whilst knowing your place, no one will make trouble for you,” Chu Ning added.
She needed these people to maintain the flow of people into The Parade. This way, the contents of The Parade would be enriched and it would be easier to attract repeat customers.
“No problem!” the few of them promised in unison.
The next morning, Jingyuan High School cafeteria logistics.
Xia Fei and Fatty Chen were a little nervous. This should be the busiest time for logistics, but they had appeared in an office in the cafeteria.
There was another person in front of them.
“The two of you should roughly understand the situation. The crux of the problem now is that you have to do this well. There is no room for error!” the canteen manager reminded them seriously.
He was related to a shareholder of Jingyuan High School.
When Chu Ning had not yet been a school director, she had once approached him to make a deal with the school. Chu Ning had subsequently been suppressed.
When the situation was reversed, the canteen manager had mixed feelings.
But now, he felt confident again.
Now, at least two shareholders of the school wanted to deal with Chu Ning at the same time.
The other was once Chu Ning’s father.
“We will definitely complete the mission!” Fatty Chen and Xia Fei immediately promised with solemn expressions.
The canteen manager’s face flushed. He grabbed them by the collars and said, “I want you to guarantee that you’ll personally put it into Chu Ning’s food quietly and watch her eat it with your own eyes. No matter what method you use. Do you hear me? I’ll coordinate with you guys then.”
