Spring Breeze 1991

"Manager Zhu, you misunderstood."

Yao Yuan smiled and said to Manager Zhu who was puzzled, "I want to rent the first floor of our department store building, it's such a thing."

"Renting a store?" Manager Zhu was really surprised, shaking his head and said, "This is even worse, our stores are not enough for ourselves, and it is impossible to rent them out."

Yao Yuan said unhurriedly, "I went around just now, and the passenger flow of the five stores on the first floor is quite bad, but the situation on the second and third floors selling clothes is relatively better. In comparison, one The situation in the fifth floor of the store is very bad."

Manager Zhu frowned and said nothing.

In fact, only he knew the pain in his heart, and he couldn't figure it out. How did the department store, which used to be rich but couldn't buy anything, become what it is now?Is it because of the abolition of the supply system or because the product has lost competitiveness?

His level is not enough to understand the whole picture of the wave of market economy.

Yao Yuan said, "Now department stores in many parts of the country have started to implement the contracting system, contracting business and storefronts to employees, similar to the household contracting system in rural areas."

"We're working on it too, so far the situation is pretty good." Manager Zhu said with a relaxed smile.

In fact, the situation is not as easy as he said, Yao Yuan has done investigation.With the poor service attitude of department store employees, even if they are contracted, they can't do it for small shops in the streets and alleys.Of course, only department stores have big-ticket items that are in short supply, such as refrigerators, washing machines, and televisions.

In the final analysis, it still can't let go of the airs of a large state-owned store, and its decline will happen sooner or later.

Yao Yuan said, "Since employees can be contracted, there is no policy problem in renting out stores. Employees pay rent, and I also pay rent, and I can also pay property management fees."

"What fee?" Manager Zhu frowned and asked.

"Property management fee." Yao Yuan said with a smile, "For example, I rent five stores on the first floor, and I concentrate on my business. Others include maintenance of related facilities, cleaning in front of the door, and security. These are all provided by department stores, and I pay for these services, which are called property management fees. This kind of shopping mall operation is very common in Hong Kong.”

Manager Zhu thought about it carefully, touched his chin and said, "That is to say, in addition to the rent and utility bills, there is also an additional management fee. This is a good idea."

Yao Yuan said with a smile, "You can't just collect money, but you can also get the merchants to pay the money willingly. There should be a lot of vacant floors in the department store building. In fact, you can let it go. It doesn't have to be limited to the merchants, you can rent it to Businesses or individuals who need office space. That’s a lot of money.”

Thinking leads to wealth.

Manager Zhu suddenly discovered that, according to Yao Yuan's intention, not only could a lot of money be exchanged for the vacant floors, but also the property management fee alone was a considerable income.

This is of great benefit to department stores in troubled operations.

As for the policy, as long as it is not sold, it will not involve the loss of state-owned assets.

"What kind of regulation is this property management fee? There should be a standard, right?" Manager Zhu asked, picked up his cigarette and handed it over to help Yao Yuan light it.

Yao Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Based on the area, how much is the charge per square meter? If the area is large, you will pay more, if you have a small area, you will pay less. It is fair and just. As for the standard, I can't say that. After all, I want to rent five rooms on the first floor." The store has more than 1000 square meters, right?"

"The store on the first floor actually has two floors, and the height of each floor is more than four meters. The total of the two floors is a total of three thousand square meters." Manager Zhu said with a smile, "It's okay, Xiao Yao, you just say it's okay, I can agree. You, once this matter is completed, I will waive your property management fee!"

Yao Yuan shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. Just state in the lease contract that I have the priority to renew the lease. In fact, there is no uniform standard for the property management fee. Different locations and different business properties will affect the standard."

The property management fee, which was played by real estate developers in later generations, is undoubtedly a new term at this time.In later generations, there was a real estate developer who was able to become a listed company with a market value of 1000 billion Hong Kong dollars just by doing property management of its own real estate development.

"I think it is reasonable to set the property management fee at [-] cents per square meter per month for department stores."

"Fifty cents?" Manager Zhu gasped slightly.

Not low, but high!

According to this standard, the monthly property management fee for the five stores on the first floor alone is 1500 yuan!

How many shops are there in the department store?

Manager Zhu gets excited just thinking about it, and the money can be said to be collected for nothing, because even if it is not collected, wouldn't the building not be maintained?

However, whether such a high property management fee can be implemented is definitely a big problem.

"Xiao Yao, in this way, you will have to pay a property management fee of [-] yuan per month for [-] square meters. Are you willing?" Manager Zhu asked with narrowed eyes.

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Of course everyone is willing, I am willing, fair and just. However, as long as the lease contract can be owed as soon as possible, I can take the lead in paying, and I can pay the property management fee for one year at a time."

Speaking of this, Manager Zhu will not be entangled in the issue of whether to rent or not. What he is thinking about is why Yao Yuan is so straightforward.

He slowly frowned and said, "The clothing section is the head of our department store, and the store can be rented out to you, but you can't deal in clothing products."

Manager Zhu thinks that the reason why Yao Yuan is so forthright is that he wants to make clothes. The location on the first floor is good, the storefront is big enough, and there are five stores facing the street in a row, so it is the most suitable for making clothes.He also knows that there are many self-employed clothing sellers, but they have not yet formed a threatening impact on department stores.

In the final analysis, the price is not cheap enough, because local clothing self-employed people buy their goods from the South Railway Station, and the price advantage is not great compared with department stores.

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "I can agree to this condition, and I don't deal in clothing products."

Manager Zhu felt even more strange, and asked, "What are you going to sell?"

Yao Yuan said bluntly, "I haven't thought about it yet."

He didn't give Manager Zhu a chance to ask any questions. He took out the contract from his bag and said, "Manager Zhu, I have drawn up the contract in advance. The rent and property management fees are empty. If you think it's okay, Let’s fill it in according to what we just talked about.”

Manager Zhu understood that the other party came prepared, but he couldn't resist Yao Yuan, because he couldn't resist the extra property management fee out of thin air!

He quickly signed and used the seal, called the financial site to collect the one-year property management fee and the first month's rent, and then directly pulled Yao Yuan to discuss the formulation of the property management fee in detail.

At this time, Yao Yuan explained it in detail.

They are all human beings, and if they don't see rabbits, they won't scatter eagles.

Why did Yao Yuan take the initiative to tell Manager Zhu about the property management fee? Is there too much money to spend, or is it in exchange for a leasehold?

There is a reason for the lease right. The department store is state-owned after all. Apart from its own employees, it is very difficult for outsiders to rent it, and it is even more difficult to contract it.

Another reason is that Yao Yuan wants to increase the cost of the big merchants in the department store.

No one knows what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.

After finalizing the five stores facing the street on the first floor of the department store, Yao Yuan got the keys to complete the delivery that day. After carefully looking at the layout inside, he formed a decoration plan in his mind and had a clear plan in his heart.

Instead of driving, he walked more than 500 meters to the affiliated hospital.

Su Qingming's son was transferred from the People's Hospital to the affiliated hospital, where the surgery is more assured.This morning was the day for the operation. When the doctor said the operation was successful, Su Qingming and his wife wept with joy.

"I don't know who the kind-hearted person who saved our medical expenses is. I really have to thank him. If it wasn't for him, our son would not be able to do this operation. I am sorry for my son." Su Qingming said with emotion.

The donations from the school are a drop in the bucket. His son suffers from a rare disease and needs to use a lot of imported medicines. The whole journey costs at least 5 yuan!

After hearing the news, Su Qingming and his wife collapsed. It was more than 5 yuan, which is an astronomical sum for any family.

The school donated thousands of yuan, just for the daily treatment.

Until that day, the People's Hospital notified them that someone had deposited 6 yuan in his son's account. The desperate couple was transferred to an affiliated hospital on the doctor's advice, and an authoritative expert was invited to perform the operation.

Although Su Qingming's wife, Sun Qin, is a village woman, she is very sensible and decent, and at the same time has the shrewdness of a rural woman.

Sun Qin said, "Think about who it would be. Are there any friends and colleagues who can afford 6 yuan?"

"That's impossible, let alone 600 yuan, there is no [-] yuan." Su Qingming shook his head and said without thinking.

Sun Qin sighed and said, "God sees my baby as pitiful, so he sent a god down to the mortal world."

"Don't say these things are useless. If God really was useful, he wouldn't let my son suffer from such a disease!" Su Qingming said resentfully.

Sun Qin wanted to refute, but felt that what her husband said made sense.

"Brother Qingming, sister-in-law." Yao Yuan strode in, carrying things in both hands.

Su Qingming was taken aback, "Xiao Yao?"

"Hello, sister-in-law." Yao Yuan nodded to Sun Qin again, and asked Su Qingming, "How is the child? Is the operation going well?"

Su Qingming quickly took the gifts from Yao Yuan, which were very expensive fruits and nutritional products. He hurriedly said, "Why are you buying so many things? Are they expensive? I'm glad you can come, and you bought so many things .”

"I asked Professor Zhan that the child will be able to eat normally in three days. These things will help the body recover." Yao Yuan said.

Su Qingming was very moved, "Xiao Yao, if you have a heart, you have a heart, sit down, sit down."

Sun Qin noticed the key words in Yao Yuan's words, and asked, "Xiao Yao, do you know Professor Zhan?"

The chief surgeon is Professor Zhan.

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "He doesn't know me, but I know him. Professor Zhan is a well-known medical expert in the province. My mother used to see a doctor from him."

"So that's how it is." Su Qingming and his wife suddenly realized.

Yao Yuan said straight to the point, "Brother Qingming, sister-in-law, I have something to discuss with you today. I set up a trading company outside, and I want to invite my sister-in-law to be a salesperson. The company is just starting out, and the salary can only be 300 yuan a piece." month, but there is a commission."

"You?" Su Qingming was very surprised.

Yao Yuan smiled, "Don't look at me like that, Brother Qingming, do I look like someone who can't afford to start a company?"

Su Qingming showed embarrassment and didn't know how to answer.

Yao Yuan said, "Sister-in-law, think about it."

Su Qingming was surprised that Yao Yuan started a company, but what Sun Qin heard was a salary of [-] yuan per month, which was a timely help for his not rich family.

"Xiao Yao, I've never done business, and I'm afraid I can't do well. What is a salesman?" Sun Qin said hesitantly.

Yao Yuan said, "Think of ways to sell things to customers. You can understand it as a door-to-door salesperson. Sister-in-law, if you try it, you will know if it is right."

Sun Qin was tempted. She didn't know what the commission meant. She only knew that the salary for this job was 300 yuan.

She cast a questioning look at Su Qingming, Su Qingming froze for a moment, then nodded.

Yao Yuan said, "When the child is discharged from the hospital, Brother Qingming, please contact me, and I will arrange work for my sister-in-law immediately."

He insisted on looking for Sun Qin because this woman from the countryside will become a well-known local supermarket owner in more than ten years.She has a very keen sense of business, and she has the shrewdness of a rural person. She is good at guessing people's hearts, and she is a natural marketing expert.

At this time, Sun Qin was still a woman who took care of her husband and taught her children at home. She came from the countryside only after Su Qingming was allocated a house.But soon, Sun Qin will explode her talent.

Such a talent cannot be easily let go, just like Yao Yuan would not give up the cake of the supermarket.

Coming out of the ward, Yao Yuan went to Professor Zhan to ask about the child's condition, and the answer he got was very optimistic.

He walked out of the hospital, passed the gynecology department, and accidentally saw a familiar figure.

Hey, what happened to her?
