Chapter 377
The train stops at Pujiang Railway Station at 7 o'clock in the morning.
Chen Li, Xiao Hua, Wang Mingjian, Zhang Xiaojin and Ye Qianyun are already familiar with each other, and they also think that they can ask Xiao Hua to help him find a house in Pujiang to live in first, and truly experience the lives of ordinary men and women in Pujiang and the characteristics of the city of Pujiang.
So after getting off the bus, Chen Li took a canvas backpack, followed Xiao Hua, Wang Mingjian, Zhang Xiaojin, and Ye Qianyun to the subway station; Gu Jianhua, a building materials businessman, stayed in contact information, directly left the station and hired a taxi and left.
The train stopped at the platform at 7 o'clock, checked the ticket and left the station. Walked to the subway station to take the subway. Chen Li saw that the subway at 7 o'clock in the morning in Pujiang was already a little crowded.
Chen Li and Xiao Hua, who have worked in Pujiang for more than two years, have no luggage. Wang Mingjian, Zhang Xiaojin, and Ye Qianyun have gone out for the first time and are determined to travel in Pujiang. Not only do they bring them all in spring and summer, but they even bring sheets, bedding, suitcases, and travel bags. At least Chen Li and Xiao Hua helped to pick up their hands, and they also successfully squeezed into the subway. They all went to Yijiangmen, where Xiao Hua is now renting a house.
The community where Xiao Hua lives is an old alley built before liberation. The city has used financial funds to upgrade and renovate the community two years ago. Although the stairs and walls in the house are aging very much, the environment in the community is still quiet and tidy, and the stone roads in the alley are quite sensational.
Walking five or six hundred meters away from the community is the Huaihai Road business district in Pujiang, and the location is quite good.
Xiao Hua rented a house on the second floor of the community with a two-bedroom and one living room on the second floor. The roommate who shared his rented a house just moved out before the New Year, and the remaining room was empty. Xiao Hua was considering starting a business before the New Year, so he rented another room at that time.
Now he thought about Zhang Xiaojin, Ye Qianyun and Wang Mingjian who had worked in Yinghe's electronics factory before, but he was owed several months' salary. He had no income and was very nervous about some of the money he had brought. He thought about Zhang Xiaojin, Ye Qianyun and his couple lived in the same room. Wang Mingjian squeezed into a room with him and made do with him first. In addition to the relationship between classmates, Zhang Xiaojin, Wang Mingjian and Ye Qianyun could also help him in addition to finding a job, even if the rent was offset.
The house is very small, with the stairs and walls in the corridors and a bit dilapidated. The house says there is a hall, but it is difficult to even turn around, let alone putting down large items such as TVs and sofas.
Zhang Xiaojin, Ye Qianyun, and Wang Mingjian came over and prepared for hard work. Seeing that the house was not big, but it was cleaned up quite neatly. The right decoration also made the room look quite good, which surprised them. I heard that such a small house had a monthly rent of 3,000 yuan in Pujiang.
Chen Li doesn't have to have too much demand on the house, but he hopes it is very comfortable. It is best to be like Li Meng's house in the old water conservancy bureau of Shangdu, so that people can live in it and read books quietly for a day without feeling bored.
"I have a house in my hand, and Brother Chen will definitely be satisfied after seeing it!" Xiao Hua helped Zhang Xiaojin arrange his luggage and told them that he could buy common daily necessities in the supermarket outside the community. He then arranged Chen Li's affairs, "Just at the entrance of the alley, there is a house on the ground floor. I will take you over to see it now..."
Chen Li only realized at this time that before Xiao Hua resigned from his original unit before the New Year, he had signed a three-year long-term contract in this community for a relatively low price. Then he found someone to decorate it himself, bought home appliances and furniture, and then rented it out to white-collar workers or middle and senior management nearby companies with higher requirements for residence.
After Xiao Hua resigned, his plan was to start a real estate agency, but he did not have much money at this time, the store was small, and the commission was relatively high. The profit margin of the house rental and loan agency business was relatively limited and it was difficult to grow. Without the brand effect of chain stores, he might not be able to make a few orders in a month. Xiao Hua thought about choosing some low-priced housing units with clean and clean facilities, but the internal facilities were simple, and rented them out for a long time. Then he paid for the money to decorate and add second-hand furniture and appliances, and cleaned them up cleanly, and then rented them out at a higher price to earn the difference.
Xiao Hua has worked hard in Pujiang for more than two years, and it has been quite difficult. He has nearly 200,000 yuan in savings. In addition to renting a store, he still has to try out seven or eight such houses.
This is the business idea in Xiao Hua's mind. It was impossible to reveal it to Chen Li on the train before, but at this time he recommended the room to Chen Li as the principal of the house rental loan or the second landlord, and had to sign a rental agreement with Chen Li directly, so he wanted to explain these things clearly.
The house Xiao Hua recommended to Chen Li is in the same community, but the seat at the entrance of the alley is located on the ground floor. The room is also two bedrooms and one living room. The hall is very small. The other room is connected to the hall and can be used as a larger work study. More importantly, the work study is out. There is a small yard with 12 or 3 square meters and green bricks. Two old vines and roses are planted in the yard. At this time, flowers are blooming, and canna and roses are very elegant.
Open the parasol to close the view above the second floor, and ensure the privacy of the yard.
The courtyard wall is not completely closed, with small blue brick lattice windows that can see people coming and going at the entrance of the alley, and it is not very noisy.
When Chen Li saw this small yard, he liked it very much and decided to rent it.
"I originally planned to rent this house for 6,000 yuan, and I am a fellow villager with Brother Chen. Even if it is 5,080 yuan per month, I will be deposited for one or three yuan. Because it is my own property, there is no agency fee." Xiao Hua saw that Chen Li rented the house neatly and asked him to leave an account and directly transfer it in. He also knew that Chen Li was half a colleague of him, so he no longer concealed anything. He introduced his efforts to Chen Li before starting a business. "I rented this house for three years before with a monthly rent of 3,000 yuan. I spent two months to clean up the yard. I only worked with workers for ten days. Although there was no big deal, I put in 30,000 yuan for this cleaning..."
Chen Li secretly planned that after deducting the renovation period and the gap in between, the house was fulfilled for three years and a long-term contract, Xiao Hua would make a net profit of 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. For those who have just started a business, it is a very good idea to seize the demand gap between the services that the owner can provide and the mid-to-high-end tenants to make a profit.
If Xiao Hua's platform is more credible, can sign a longer rental agreement, and provide more thoughtful rental and related living support services, the total income of a house will be more considerable.
Moreover, from the decoration style of this small courtyard and interior, it can be seen that in addition to having strong execution and ideas, Xiao Hua has a very accurate grasp of the needs of mid-to-high-end customers and his understanding of architectural decoration.
At this time, Zhang Xiaojin, Wang Mingjian, and Ye Qianyun packed their luggage and went downstairs to buy daily necessities at the supermarket at the entrance of the alley. When they heard Chen Li and Xiao Hua talk, they leaned over and came over to visit.
Although the room is not bigger than the one that Xiao Hua lives in, the four of them lived in Xiao Hua's house together, and the exquisitely tidied yard outside, Ye Qianyun was full of envy. However, when she heard that the rent of this house was worth her previous six months of salary, she was so scared that she stuck out her tongue.
Chen Li didn't have much cash in his hand, so he sent Xiao Hua's bank account to his assistant, and asked the assistant to directly transfer the money equivalent to four months of rent into Xiao Hua's bank account, even if he officially rented the house.
After Xiao Hua and the others left, Chen Li ran to the supermarket outside the alley and bought daily necessities such as toiletries. Even if he temporarily fell into Pujiang, the whole process was more comfortable and smoother than staying in a hotel. There was also a ready-made broadband network. Chen Li finished processing the work email and took the camera to go out for a walk around.
In fact, the alley he lives in, called Miaodian Street, is very interesting and the opening is very small. If a car drives in, even a bicycle cannot pass. The bluestone on the floor is smooth as it has been over the years. The winter in Pujiang is relatively warm. Even if the first month has not passed, there are still wet green moss in the corner of the wall, and there are occasionally one or two wild grass on the top of the wall. There are several old villas in the style of folk mansions at the other end of the hall, hidden in the shade, very quiet.
Chen Li was walking around several nearby alleys for most of the day. Qian Da stole the ball in the afternoon and called several times. Chen Li asked him to meet in the newly rented house on Miaodian Street before he walked back.
As soon as I walked outside the alley in Miaodian Street, I saw Xiao Hua and the others standing outside a storefront room from afar, talking to someone. Chen Li walked over to say hello, and only then did I know that Xiao Hua saw the storefront at the entrance of the alley at the end of the year, and planned to rent it out. He asked the owner to come here in the afternoon. He had just signed a contract. At this time, Zhang Xiaojin and Ye Qianyun helped to clean the store briefly. Xiao Hua took Wang Mingjian to borrow a tricycle from the community property, dragged a disassembled office furniture, and was moving it into the house, preparing to assemble it overnight and open to the public tomorrow.
"Chen Li, Chen Li!" Qian Da's car couldn't drive in, so he parked at the end of the alley in the alley, followed the door number and shouted happily when he saw Chen Li.
"My friend works in Xinchaorui Real Estate Agency, and I am a real colleague of you." Chen Li introduced Qian Da to Xiao Hua and the others.
"..." Xiao Hua shook hands with Qian Da politely and said to Chen Li, "If Brother Chen doesn't mind my crowding, Xiao Ye and Zhang Xiaojin have already gone back to cook, come here to have two drinks together tonight?"
"Okay!" Chen Li agreed happily. He decided to live here for a while, and if he had no friends, he would wander around Pujiang City all day long, and would be bored. He put down his backpack and helped Xiao Hua and the others move the furniture boards into the house and assemble them together.
Qian Da also knew that Chen Li had always been used to being low-key. Besides, there was no need to show Chen Li's identity in front of friends Xiao Hua and other friends he had just met on the train, so he helped to work.
Qian Da is actually two years younger than Chen Li and Zhou Bin, but he didn't go to school at the age of seventeen or eighteen. He first stumbled with young people in society, and then was forced to Chen Li by his son Qian Wanli. He just came from the company and wore a work uniform like an ordinary employee. At this time, he looked more mature than Chen Li and much simpler than before.
In Gao Fengming, after the money reached Pujiang, Xinchaorui Real Estate's second-hand housing transaction business expanded to Pujiang. The previous year was mainly for preparation, personnel recruitment and training. Currently, 30 stores have been opened in Pujiang. Even if real estate brokers are over-recruited, their market share in the real estate brokerage business field with a scale of 100,000 in Pujiang is still small. In terms of market share, the market share is less than two or three thousand, so naturally there is no influence.
