The next day, Su Ji took Shao Xiaoxiao to wander around the city.
They don't plan to open too large a store, they all choose it according to the area of about 100 square meters, and there are some differences on the road section.
The two went to a shop in the city center first, with a lot of traffic and a good surrounding environment. The shop used to be a food business. If they rented this place, some of the leftover equipment could continue to be used, which would save money. next expense.
Su Ji has never lost his satisfied expression since he entered the shop, especially when the landlord was boasting, he would nod in agreement from time to time, looking at that posture, he wanted to sign the contract right away.
Of course it is true.
Under the angry eyes of the landlord, Shao Xiaoxiao pulled Su Ji out, and he said, "Are you stupid?"
Su Ji straightened his crooked glasses, "Isn't it good here? You've seen the flow of people. The location, environment, and equipment are all good, and the shops in this place are very busy. If you don't settle down sooner, you will miss it. "
Shao Xiaoxiao seemed a little speechless. He tried his best to organize his words, and said to his future partner as tactfully as possible: "May I ask what your current occupation is?"
Su Ji blinked his eyes, seemed a little erratic, and didn't say anything in detail, just said: "Painting."
Shao Xiaoxiao nodded, and then he asked, "Do you know the rent here?"
Now it was Su Ji's turn to nod, he thought it was acceptable.
Shao Xiaoxiao said as gently as possible: "Please multiply the rent per square meter by its area to get a total rent."
The brows gradually gathered together, and Su Ji's face looked a little pale.
The price per square meter is completely acceptable, why is it so high after all together? !
Shao Xiaoxiao was satisfied, and he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Then please think again, if we sell two hundred cakes a day and earn double the profit, do you think we can make money after rent?"
Su Ji's face became rosy again, his brows stretched, and he answered affirmatively: "Yes."
"Then what do you think..." Shao Xiaoxiao paused, and the smile on his face gradually subsided, turning into a glaring look: "Can we sell two hundred cakes a day? Or can I make two hundred cakes a day by myself? ?!"
"..." Su Ji was completely numb.
Shao Xiaoxiao patted him on the shoulder as a comfort, "Let's go to the next place."
Su Ji didn't speak, and left together.
It's just that before the two of them left, they both looked sideways at the shop.
In fact, this is the best location for both Su Ji and Shao Xiaoxiao.
It's a pity that one has no money and no one, so he is doomed to give up.
Then the two went to three more places, maybe the first one was too good, but the next few places were more or less dissatisfied, so they were only tentatively decided.
"There are still two places." Su Ji said weakly, it was the first time he knew that finding a shop would be so tiring, it was even more tiring than staying up late to catch pictures.
"Let's go eat something first." Sitting on the co-pilot, Shao Xiaoxiao was paralyzed into a ball, and he said, "I invite you."
Su Ji glanced at him, and Shao Xiaoxiao was delighted: "You can still afford a meal."
Meals are affordable, but the place to invite is a bit surprising.
Sitting at the small booth, Su Ji kept pursing his lips.
Shao Xiaoxiao handed him a pair of chopsticks and said, "You won't be disgusted, right? This is a restaurant I found after searching the Internet for a long time. The customers who come here are all positive. If it's not the time to eat, we have to line up."
Su Ji snorted softly. It wasn't that he disliked him, but that he regretted not being able to kill Shao Xiaoxiao severely.
Shao Xiaoxiao pointed outside, and he said, "Do you know where this is?"
"Near the university town." Su Ji replied. Along the way just now, he saw many young people who had not yet left society, and everyone had carefree smiles on their faces.
It reminded him of the past.
Su Ji was distracted thinking, what was he doing when he was in college? I have made a private decision with that person for the rest of my life, thinking that the future will be what they imagined, but...
"Then what do you think of this place?" Shao Xiaoxiao asked again.
"Are you going to open the store here?" Su Ji withdrew his attention, and he looked around carefully. In fact, the environment near the university town is not very good. There are too many stalls and they are all mobile stalls. Not to mention the noisy environment, and the smell of all the food gathered in one place, which is not very pleasant. This is completely different from the cake shop he imagined.
"Not here, but near here." Shao Xiaoxiao explained that the university town is a place with a lot of personal traffic, and the cheap food business must be popular, but Shao Xiaoxiao doesn't plan to develop the cake shop to a cheap level.
He took out his mobile phone, opened the map and said, "Two stops away from here is a group of office buildings, surrounded by three office buildings with more than 50 floors and seven office buildings with about 30 floors. , the number of people coming and going every day is definitely not less than the previous business district.”
Moreover, most office workers like petty bourgeoisie, so opening a cake and dessert shop is just right.
Su Ji was also satisfied when he heard it, but he didn't understand, "What does that have to do with this place?"
"Do you know what the two stations mean?" Shao Xiaoxiao raised two fingers, and then drew a big circle. He said, "It means that we can divide the entire university city into our sales area."
Today's young people are lax and lazy, so they hire people to deliver the goods.
There are many food delivery apps on the Internet. The two stations may exceed the distance of their delivery, but he can still hire delivery personnel specially. As long as the market is opened, no matter how far away it is.
Su Ji listened carefully and thought seriously.
He suddenly realized that maybe his existence in this store was just to invest money, because other things, he was not as thoughtful as Shao Xiaoxiao thought, he nodded and said, "Okay, you just make the decision."
Shao Xiaoxiao urged: "Then eat quickly, and then go to see if there are any suitable shops."
It took only fifteen minutes for the two of them to finish a meal. Just like what Shao Xiaoxiao checked on the Internet, the food was very delicious, but they didn't pay attention to it at all. After eating in a hurry, they drove to two stops Near the office building outside.
Maybe it was their luck. After wandering around for a short time, they saw a shop that was being sublet.
The store was bigger than they had planned, with two floors in total, and all the square meters could add up to 156 square meters, which was more than half of what they had expected, but there was a big advantage.
This shop used to be in the business of milk tea cold drinks, and also left a lot of equipment they needed.
What's more, the decoration here is very stylish. If they rent it out, they will save a lot of decoration costs, and they can go straight to business with only a little modification.
This time, not only Su Ji but also Shao Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate too much, and directly signed a three-year contract.
Shao Xiaoxiao did not participate in the rent issue, and let Su Ji directly discuss it. During the negotiation, he took a closer look at the store again, and already had a change in his mind.
I asked for a pen and a piece of paper from the landlord, and on the car back, Shao Xiaoxiao drew out the thoughts in his head one by one. There were some changes but not too big. Basically, it took about half a month. , it can be decorated.
Shao Xiaoxiao took the time to say: "Just next month, if you choose a good day, it will be considered as opening."
Su Ji turned the steering wheel, and he said, "You should do it."
Shao Xiaoxiao stopped what he was doing in an instant. He turned to the driver and said, "You know, my dream in the future is to be a boss who sits and waits to collect money."
Su Ji waited for him to continue, but after waiting for a while, he turned his head and looked over: "Then what?"
Shao Xiao said sullenly, "It's not that you just sit and wait to collect the money, I'm too busy spinning like a spinning top."
Su Ji didn't collapse all of a sudden, and burst out laughing instantly.
And Shao Xiaoxiao, too, laughed out loud.
Perhaps it was because of the chorus of laughter that there was no previous unfamiliarity between the two of them.
When they went back, they were just about to finish school, so they stopped at the entrance of the kindergarten and waited.
Su Ji parked the car, walked to the side of the person squatting by the fence, poked his head slightly, and when he saw the paper in Shao Xiaoxiao's hand, he couldn't say a word, "Is this the decoration drawing you drew?"
After driving here for about half an hour, Su Ji didn't pay attention but knew that Shao Xiaoxiao's painting was very serious, but looking at it now, it's completely...
"You don't understand soul painters." Shao Xiaoxiao pointed to a place and explained to him: "Look here, we installed two booths, one side is covered by a wall and the other side is blocked by a flower stand, here are the young lovers. No one can bother you inside."
"Then hollow out the corners and open up from the second floor to the first floor. Without too much space, we will install a revolving slide for children to play, especially my little boy and your little chubby, I will definitely like it."
"In the end, I plan to remove all their tables and chairs. After all, the old corners and corners are a bit worn out. It is better to replace them sooner or later. I plan to use cool colors for the new tables and chairs."
Su Ji said: "Is it too cold?"
Cake and dessert shops, whether it is literally or after the entrance, are mainly "sweet", and the cold tone is always a bit inconsistent.
Shao Xiaoxiao shook his head and smiled strangely: "Don't forget, we still have walls."
The role of the wall is great. It is too easy to add some colorful pictures on it to set off the whole store, and he already has the main content of the wall painting in his mind, which is absolutely amazing!
"You said you could draw before. What style do you draw? Can you draw wall paintings?" Shao Xiaoxiao asked.
Su Ji was a little uncomfortable, and turned his head to the side, "No, I don't know that."
"Not at all? It's actually not difficult. If you don't want to try, you can draw in your own style." Shao Xiaoxiao was a little regretful, and he continued: "Think about it, everyone in the store can see you at a glance Does the painting give you a sense of accomplishment?"
Su Ji squinted his eyes and imagined that the walls of the store were all his paintings, which were still the style he was most familiar with. In an instant, he felt goosebumps all over his body and felt no sense of accomplishment at all!
