Chapter 99 The Prosperous Dynasty
Chapter 99: Prosperous Dynasty
Lao Fengxiang Silver House on Nanjing Road has a history of more than 160 years and is also one of the oldest jewelry companies in China.
The beautiful manager of the agency brought Wang Zhuo to this street.
As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Wang Zhuo ignores the large businesses in the jewelry, gold, silver and diamond industries all over the streets, and does not take the fierce competition here at all. Instead, he thinks that it is easy to sell goods in groups, and the more peers there, the better.
"Sir, it is the most suitable for running a jewelry company where we are now. Rich people in China come here to buy gold and jade jewelry. The daily customer flow is not only very large, but many of them are here to buy it."
The intermediary manager spared no effort to introduce her. Wang Zhuo nodded slightly and agreed with her introduction.
"The land price here is also valuable in every inch of land. Of course, although it is a little more expensive, it is also worth the money." The intermediary manager introduced and led Wang Zhuo forward along the bustling street.
It is not common for customers like Wang Zhuo who paid a deposit of 100,000 yuan for house viewing less than an hour after meeting for the first time. The female manager is now full of confidence in starting this business.
"We now have two suitable shops to choose from. This kind of opportunity is rare on Nanjing Road, where shops are hard to find. It can be said that you and I are both lucky."
Under the guidance of this female manager named Wei Xia, Wang Zhuo first came to a brand clothing store that promotes "closed business and decoration, no one left". The store is about 200 square meters and is divided into two floors. The neighbor on the left is a small jewelry store. The things inside are dazzling, all of which are the things that girls like. The neighbor on the right is a European-style Western restaurant.
Wang Zhuo looked around and felt that he was not very satisfied. The Western restaurant was acceptable. The small jewelry store was a bit too popular, and the groups he targeted were obviously students with little money. Although Wang Zhuo didn’t know what to say in Feng Shui, he also knew that it would affect his business.
Seeing Wang Zhuo’s idea, Manager Wei explained helplessly: “This jewelry store is indeed not suitable for opening next to the gold store. If you are interested, I can ask you about the owner’s contact information.”
The small jewelry store is only more than 30 square meters. If you are willing to spend money, it is not impossible to move it away.
Wang Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Let's see the next one."
The second shop is located at an intersection, and Wang Zhuo fell in love with this location at a glance. On both sides of it are a branch office of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and a platinum and diamond company called "Tianyuan", which is more suitable for Wang Zhuo's business.
Strangely, the signboard of this shop is no longer there. The glass door was locked symbolically with a chain lock. Looking through the door, there were some glass counters, display racks, tables and chairs inside.
"The last business owner here is also a jewelry company, but don't worry about Feng Shui. It's not that it went bankrupt, it just moved away."
Manager Wei explained, took out the key and opened the chain: "Let's come in and take a look."
"Do you have the key here?" Wang Zhuo felt a little curious.
"Haha." Wei Xia said with a proud smile: "The owner entrusted this store to us. Anyway, it is empty now and there is nothing valuable."
In fact, she didn't tell Wang Zhuo some of the things she had entrusted was not the only one of the agents entrusted by the owner. There were four agents holding the keys to the shop, and there were surveillance installed in the store. The owner had a well-documented account of what happened here.
This store has 330 square meters, which is much larger than the one who sold clothes just now. Among them, 150 square meters downstairs, 18 square meters upstairs, and 30 square meters above the downstairs is a large office, which was "eat" from the second floor of the Industrial and Commercial Bank next door.
After taking a bite from the bank, Wang Zhuo felt good immediately. Moreover, the gold store with a space of more than 300 square meters is still on the top scale even in his hometown. Wang Zhuo felt proud to have such a place on Nanjing Road.
"How much does it rent?" After looking forward to the point, Wang Zhuo never dragged on in this regard.
Wei Xia was still counting the advantages of this storefront. Wang Zhuo smiled and waved his hand: "Why am I listening to these things? Just talk about the price directly."
"The lease period is three years, the monthly rent is 330,000 yuan, and the monthly payment is paid." Wei Xia said while paying attention to Wang Zhuo's expression.
"One thousand per square meter per month?" Wang Zhuo smiled and joked: "It doesn't seem very expensive, and it can be bargained, right?"
"Mr. Wang was joking." Wei Xia couldn't hear Wang Zhuo's words and smiled unnaturally: "The price can definitely be negotiated. You also know that our agency only wants to promote cooperation, so there is a commission to earn. If you rent it too high, it will also have an impact on our goodwill."
This is reasonable. Wang Zhuo nodded and said, "I intend to rent this shop, please contact the owner."
Thirty minutes later, Wang Zhuo and the owner of the shop met in a nearby teahouse; one hour later, the price was negotiated and the details were finalized; two hours later, the agreement was signed and the notarization was successful; three hours later, the rent transfer of 3.6 million yuan in the first year was successful.
"Young people today are really smart and happy to do things, and the younger generation is terrifying!" Grandpa Lin, the owner with a gray beard, went shopping with a smile. If he didn't know, who could tell that this big old man wearing cloth shoes and long gown would be an old landlord capitalist with a family capital of over 100 million yuan?
Wei Xia took the cash check given to her by the old man, and she felt a little unreal. She got the commission of 200,000 yuan. It was only 2:30 in the afternoon, and she didn't even need a working day!
The owner, Mr. Lin, is very familiar with him. With the owner's character, he is disdainful to sign an agreement with the customer in private and rob the agency fee. So she took the customer to meet the owner with confidence. But unexpectedly, the little brother who rented a house was even happier than the owner, Mr. Lin. As soon as they met, they went straight to the point. They were both cheerful, and no one talked about it. They agreed in a few words!
"It's great to have money." Wei Xia looked at Wang Zhuo's distant figure enviously, sighing that she was still working hard for a down payment of a suburban house. She casually spent more than three million to rent a storefront. If she had known this, she would have given up her poor boyfriend back then and marry a rich man...
Holding the key, Wang Zhuo returned to his store happily. He had even thought of the name, and it was called the Prosperous Dynasty, which was so cool and cool!
There is an old Chinese saying, "Gold in troubled times, collection in prosperous times". In recent years, the momentum of investment and speculation in art has been rising, which proves from one aspect that it is a prosperous era. These two words are just right for Wang Zhuo's business scope. The two words "Dynasty" are not only because the character Wang is his surname, but also because these two words show their domineering and majestic style, which sounds good enough!
"The next step is to find a decoration company, right?" Wang Zhuo stood at the door, facing the direction of the store, and muttered to himself.
"This is what it means to cross the river by feeling the stones. You can't do anything." He smiled mockingly. Except for this store with a monthly rent of 300,000 yuan, he now has no one in hand, no goods, no channels, and no licenses. He just wants nothing!
Helplessly, he had to call Guan Yingying, and the three cobblers were even more arrogant. Isn’t this sister on vacation? She just came to ask for help.
"What? You even paid the money?!" Guan Yingying was amused and laughed: "Do you know the land price there? Haven't you been a sucker?"
"Tsk, have you forgotten? I was a poor boy before summer, so why would I be willing to spend money in vain?" Wang Zhuo laughed and said, "I'm also comparing the store. The agent I used in the end was also introduced by a friend, and it has a good reputation."
The friend he mentioned was actually Xiao Wanjun, the second secretary of Qin Xue. The relationship between them was not a friend. Wang Zhuo called him to consult, and he introduced the agency company opened by a friend to Wang Zhuo. Because the mayor's secretary's brand was too big, the boss of the agency did not mention this matter to Wei Xia, the young manager, but just told her to receive it seriously, and Wang Zhuo did not mention this matter.
"Wait a minute, I'll go there now." Guan Yingying hurriedly put down the phone, always thinking that this matter was too incredible. Wang Zhuo rented the house without a sound. He was so bold and dared to think and do it!
Half an hour later, Guan Yingying appeared in front of the future "Prosperous Dynasty". Her residence was near People's Square, very close to this place, but most of Nanjing Road is a pedestrian street. She walked for a while after storing the car.
As soon as he entered the door, Guan Yingying exclaimed: "It's so big?! Is the rent a lot of money?"
Wang Zhuo smiled and nodded: "Ten thousand a day."
Guan Yingying was stunned for a moment and then tasted it. For the highly profitable jewelry industry, a room fee of 10,000 yuan a day is nothing, and there is not a fraction of the tax. But the key issue is not here. Opening a jewelry store is not a child’s house, and Wang Zhuo is empty-handed, what should he do?
"I'm not very good at decorating, and the landlord only gave me a fifteen-day free renovation period, which is very urgent."
"Fifteen days are still urgent?" Guan Yingying was amused and crying: "Please, this is Nanjing Road, and other businesses are not closed for decoration time! I'm so generous to give you fifteen days of decoration time!"
"Is that right?" Wang Zhuo scratched his head embarrassedly, thinking to himself that Old Man Lin was quite generous, it seemed that he was wrongly blamed him.
"But it's really urgent for you." Guan Yingying said angrily: "You have no goods and no one in your hands, and you don't even have a decoration design or construction team, and I probably don't have to mention the logo and brand image. Have you thought about what name you have?"
"I've thought about this!" Wang Zhuo immediately raised his hand: "I'm called Shengshi Dynasty, how about it, be domineering!"
"It's so dirt-soaked..." Guan Yingying was completely speechless.
The two stood in the store, and were imagining Hu Jie. A young man in a suit and ties with a badge hanging around his neck looked inside from outside the door for a moment, then walked out again.
Although it was more than ten meters away and backlighting, Wang Zhuo's super strong eyesight still saw the title on his badge at first glance. It turned out to be a reception manager of Tianyuan Company next door.
