Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

In the next few days, Hao Qiang continued to conduct in-depth research in several large shopping malls, looking for an ideal location to open a high-end hot pot restaurant.

The first high-end hotpot restaurant may not necessarily be opened in Kaihe District, it depends on which shopping mall is most suitable.

So, he went on to inspect shopping malls such as Baixin Plaza in Baiyun District, Guangming Plaza, Mingsheng Plaza, and Mayflower Plaza in Yuexiu District. These shopping malls are all located in hot areas. Most of them have been on sale or for rent since last year. Most of them opened this year, and some are vacant.

After careful consideration, Hao Qiang chose Zhengjia Plaza as his first choice!

This magnificent commercial complex covers an area of ​​approximately 5.7 square meters, with a total construction area of ​​42 square meters and a total investment of 40 billion yuan.

It is located at No. 228 Tianhe Road, the most prosperous commercial place in Guangdong City, and is the core area of ​​Tianhe Business District.

Zhengjia Plaza is surrounded by several business centers and high-end residential areas, which brings together a large number of high-end consumer groups and provides a rich potential customer base for Hao Qiang's high-end hot pot restaurant.

In addition, Zhengjia Plaza is only 7 kilometers away from the north gate of Sun Yat-sen University, and can be reached in just over ten minutes by car, which greatly facilitates his daily management and operations.

The shopping mall has a large single-floor area and has just started recruiting investors. There are still vacant shops waiting to be rented in the catering area on the sixth floor, otherwise Hao Qiang would not have had the opportunity to move in.

May 11th, evening.

Hao Qiang's life has reached a new milestone.

His personal wealth successfully crossed the one million mark, and his free attribute point increased by 1.

The threshold for the next wealth level is 2 million yuan, and a one-time reward of +200 free attribute points is given.

At the same time, he held a total of 185 Moutai shares, with a purchase cost of nearly one million yuan.

This month, Renjian Fireworks' sales have reached 26.3 yuan, and all the staff are working hard to reach 30 yuan.

As long as they reach 30 yuan, they can get the highest level performance bonus, which is 25% of the basic salary, which is a lot.

The next day, Thursday.

At around 1:00 p.m., Hao Qiang went to Zhengjia Plaza again to carefully inspect the dining area on the sixth floor.

The sixth floor has a construction area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, and there are three large-scale restaurants that have not yet been rented out. Hao Qiang took a fancy to a large shop near the elevator entrance towards the northeast gate.

He negotiated with the Ministry of Commerce about renting a shop to see if he could pay a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan in advance and then sign a formal contract a month later while waiting for the renovation design plan to be finalized.

If he doesn't rent the house at that time, he won't ask for the deposit.

If you decide to rent, the deposit will be included in the rent.

The staff of the mall's business department were enthusiastic about Hao Qiang, but they were reserved about the leasing method.

Hao Qiang's proposal is actually to extend the rent-free period from one month to two months.

how can that be!

The business operator politely responded, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Hao, no business can do this.

Since you are willing to pay the deposit, it means you are very optimistic about our mall. It is good for you to get involved in advance so that you will have more time to prepare and plan the new store.

If the space is snatched up by other businesses, wouldn’t you miss out on this investment opportunity?”

Upon hearing this, Hao Qiang understood their difficulties.

After all, Hao Qiang just didn't want to waste a month's rent, which was tens of thousands of dollars.

However, if the shop he likes is snatched away by other businesses, he will indeed miss the opportunity to invest, and tens of thousands of dollars will be nothing.

The Ministry of Commerce's investment promotion staff also do not want to give up on businesses that rent large shops, as they feel that such large shops may not be rented out after a month.

Finally, they asked their leader for instructions.

Mr. Yang from the Ministry of Commerce personally took action and had in-depth discussions with Hao Qiang.

After more than ten minutes of communication, he learned in detail about Hao Qiang's investment budget, investment plan for the catering industry and other details.

Although "Renjian Yanhuo" currently only has one store, the 3 million yuan that Hao Qiang plans to invest is not a small amount.

More importantly, the service core emphasized by Hao Qiang will bring stable customer flow and good reputation to the mall, which deeply impressed Mr. Yang.

Hao Qiang was sincere in wanting to rent the shop, and after comprehensive consideration, Mr. Yang finally agreed to the practice of paying a deposit in advance to reserve the shop.

Rules are fixed, we must be flexible and adaptable.

The main reason is that Zhengjia Plaza has just opened for a short time and there are still some vacant shops, mainly large shops, while shops with an area of ​​less than 200 square meters have already been rented out.

Hao Qiang was interested in Shop No. 6 on the sixth floor, which had a usable area of ​​about 650 square meters. The original rental price was 95 yuan/square meter/month, with no discount at all.

Equivalent to an annual rent of 74.1 yuan!

Moreover, this is the first year's rent.

The rent increased by 10% the following year, and after three years, when the five-year contract expired, the price was adjusted again.

Hao Qiang thought about it for a moment and felt that the mall’s request was reasonable. Since it had just opened, the rent would definitely be the lowest in the first year and would definitely increase in the second year.

However, shopping malls are also worried that frequent changes in merchants will have a negative impact on popularity, so it is best to keep rents stable.

The adjustment cycle is five years, at which time the mall will negotiate the rent matters with the merchants again in detail.

Subsequently, the two parties directly signed a formal contract and agreed on a deposit of 50,000 yuan.

The renovation is scheduled to start one month later, but if Renjian Fireworks enters the renovation stage earlier, the lease period will start from that day.

If the quarterly rent and deposit are not paid for more than one month, the mall will charge a penalty of 5 yuan.

Regarding the rent-free period for large shops, the mall gives 30 days, not a single day more.

After successfully finalizing the shop rental, Hao Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, he immediately called the decoration company and asked the designer to come for an on-site inspection to prepare for the upcoming decoration work.

One afternoon three days later,

Hao Qiang accompanied Han Qingying to study in a cafe at South China University of Technology.

There was a faint sweet atmosphere in the box. Just when Hao Qiang secretly kissed Han Qingying on the cheek, his cell phone suddenly broke the tranquility.

"disappointed!"

Hao Qiang muttered something, but still picked up the phone honestly.

Seeing that it was Lin Nan calling, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

"Sister Lin, what's going on?"

"Those three songs of yours are quite popular, and the operating income is pretty good. Tomorrow morning, I'll have the finance department transfer some money to your company account, okay?"

"Oh, sure. How many are there?"

"The current settlement for you, after deducting taxes, is about one million yuan. If you have time, you can come to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to verify it."

Hao Qiang was quite surprised when he heard this, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, I'll go over if I'm free."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two hung up the phone.

Hao Qiang's inner joy surged like a spring, one million yuan!

This funding is undoubtedly a timely help to him.

Taxes have already been deducted from Lin Nan's side. Of course, Hao Qiang's entertainment company is a shell company and still has to pay corporate income tax at a rate of 20%.

Excluding operating costs, rent, etc., he plans to report most of the tax, and ultimately deduct more than 100,000 yuan in taxes, leaving him with about 900,000 yuan.

Of course, there are ways to not report it.

Hao Qiang planned to inject funds into Renjian Fireworks Catering Company through investment from the entertainment company.

With one million yuan, as long as the decoration design drawings are out, you can start decorating the store in advance.

Thinking of this, Hao Qiang couldn't help but hug Han Qingying tightly in his arms and kissed her affectionately.

Two or three minutes later, the two parted lips.

A faint blush appeared on Han Qingying's cheeks, like the rising morning glow, beautiful and charming.

She pursed her lips lightly, straightened her messy clothes, and gently hit Hao Qiang's arm with her small hand, scolding him: "Hey, pay attention to your image!

My clothes have been messed up, and if the waiter sees it, it will be so embarrassing."

Hao Qiang laughed: "We are in the box, no one outside can see us."

"You're so mean! You dragged me here to study. It turns out your motives are not pure!" Han Qingying said coquettishly, "Why didn't I notice you doing this in high school?"

"Qingying, you misunderstood." Hao Qiang smiled and looked at her shy smile, "Hey, I am just like this."

Whenever Han Qingying smiled, her bright eyes would bend into crescents, making Hao Qiang involuntarily intoxicated by them.

The two played around for a while, and Han Qingying asked Hao Qiang curiously why he suddenly seemed so happy.

"My songs made good money, and I got one million yuan, which is more than enough to invest in opening a new store." Hao Qiang said. He told Han Qingying that he was busy opening a new store recently, but he didn't tell her the specific investment and details. She probably thought it was an investment of several hundred thousand yuan.

Hao Qiang planned to tell her after the business turned a profit so that she wouldn't worry.

Han Qingying was shocked when she heard the profit: "So much!"

She felt that Hao Qiang was not doing his job properly, so how could he earn more than his hard-earned money?

She couldn't understand this world anymore.

Hao Qiang smiled and said, "It's not bad. In Yuecheng, there's only a new house with an area of ​​100 to 200 square meters, which is far from a single-family villa.

When I have enough money, I will buy you a big house and register your name on it. Then I will let grandma come here to live. You will see her often in the future."

Han Qingying listened to Hao Qiang's loving words, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

However, after a brief thought, she shook her head gently and said softly, "It's better to save money for investment and not rush to buy a house.

Although I miss my grandma, she definitely doesn't want to live here for a long time.

At home, she can chat with neighbors, grow vegetables, and be surrounded by a familiar environment, so she doesn’t feel lonely.”

"Yeah, that's true. You think it through."

Hao Qiang nodded in understanding. Now they could only try their best to let grandma enjoy her old age in a familiar environment and go home to visit her often.
