I Have a Wealth Gathering Array

Chapter 60: Securing Three Branch Locations


Not many people would rent such an expensive place. Even if Fatty Wang reduced the price, few would be willing to take it over.

"My wife has made many calls, and so have my parents. Sigh, when will this be resolved here?"

Thinking of how he got a scolding from his mom over the phone, saying he ignored his wife and children for money, Fatty Wang felt very frustrated.

He can't just throw away hundreds of thousands, can he?

In fact, he could hire someone professional to manage this store, rather than transfer it. But after having a child, his heart isn't in it. He just wants to go back home for a stable life, to be with his wife and child.

After all, opening a store here comes with great risks. It's not guaranteed to be profitable; it might close down after a while.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Fatty Wang looked off into the distance, noticing two people walking toward his store.

Upon seeing this, Fatty Wang's eyes lit up.

In these ten days, he'd already cleared out all the clothes in his store. It was empty, with a big sign at the entrance stating it's up for sublease.

Since they've come to the store, they must be interested in renting it.

As if confirming his suspicion, the agent quickly arrived from another direction.

"Hello, I'm the owner of this store..." Although the young man who came looked quite young, Fatty Wang didn't underestimate him and quickly introduced his store.

The ones who came were Qin Yun and Qin Xiaotao.

"The renovations of this store are all new. If Mr. Qin intends to open a clothing store, you can use it directly. If it's for another type of store, you can modify the decor a bit, but it doesn't need much change. After all, the style of this store suits many businesses." Fatty Wang said with a smile.

At this moment, Qin Yun was also observing the store.

The store was spacious, with new walls indeed. Other than that, there was nothing else. For any type of business, you just need to bring in your goods.

"Nice store. About the rent..." Qin Yun nodded and inquired.

Seeing Qin Yun somewhat interested, Fatty Wang was delighted and said, "This store is on a commercial street, a great location. Previously, I signed a one-year lease contract with the landlord and have paid all of the 400,000 yuan rent. Now there are eleven months left. Brother, you understand my situation from the agency. There's an urgent matter at home I need to handle, so I'm asking for just ten months of rent, rounding it down to 330,000 yuan."

Upon hearing Fatty Wang's statement, Qin Yun shook his head and said, "Too expensive. It doesn't meet my target price."

His ideal was 150 square meters with a rent of about 200,000 yuan.

Of course, if other places were similarly average, he might reconsider here.

He glanced around and said to the agent, "Let's look at other places."

Qin Yun had a lot of time now, intending to view several stores.

"Alright, Mr. Qin, please follow me," the agent replied with a smile.

Seeing Qin Yun turn away decisively after hearing the price, intending to view other places, Fatty Wang became anxious.

Business is tough now; even on this bustling street, you occasionally see closed shops.

Good locations mean extremely high rent. Besides rent, there are staff salaries, utilities, and other costs. To make a profit, the store's revenue must be very high, which many cannot achieve.

As they say, doing business in big cities suits those with ample funds. Without enough capital, the money may run out before any profit is made.

Every year, countless people start businesses, and after a few years, return to regular jobs. Such cases are abundant.

"Brother Qin Yun, what's your target price?" Seeing Qin Yun turning away, Fatty Wang bit his lip and suddenly said.

He truly didn't want to delay here any longer. Previously, someone came to check the store, glanced around, went elsewhere, and never came back.

After all, there are plenty of options available.

And since he needed to leave, he required the counterpart to pay in full, whereas many places offer more lenient terms, perhaps needing only a few months' rent initially.

Hearing this, Qin Yun turned back to Fatty Wang, paused briefly, and said, "300,000. If it's 300,000, I can rent it."

He initially offered a 3,000 yuan reduction.

Hearing Qin Yun's words, Fatty Wang hesitated visibly. However, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Alright, 300,000 it is!"

Although it was 30,000 less, it's fine. He wasn't too heartbroken over it.

"Oh? Agreed?" Upon hearing this, Qin Yun was clearly a bit stunned, not expecting Fatty Wang to agree so readily.

If he'd known, he would have lowered the price even more.

However, since he already mentioned it, Qin Yun wouldn't go back on his word.

The previous place he saw was 150 square meters with a rent of 300,000.

This location wasn't inferior to that one, and the area was 200 square meters.

Though it's not a full year, there are still 11 months and five days left, which isn't much less.

"Brother Qin Yun, what do you think?" Seeing Qin Yun surprised, Fatty Wang couldn't help but ask.

In his heart, he was somewhat anxious, worried that Qin Yun might not be content and continue bargaining.

"Alright, contact the landlord. Let's start the paperwork," Qin Yun nodded and said.

Since he made up his mind, he wanted to finalize it quickly.

"Brother Qin Yun, you're decisive!" Hearing this, Fatty Wang was overjoyed and quickly made the call.

Soon, the landlord arrived, and the lease contract of the store was transferred to Qin Yun.

To prevent any mid-term changes and situations similar to Sun Yadong's, Qin Yun was cautious and specifically signed a breach of contract agreement with the landlord.

After quite some time, everything was finally settled.

"Haha, Brother Qin, if my wife wasn't pregnant, and I wasn't going back home, I wouldn't have let go of this store for just 300,000,"

After everything was sorted, Fatty Wang heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled at Qin Yun, explaining his family situation.

Though recalling his decision to open a store, Fatty Wang felt deeply frustrated.

Excitedly arriving here, he invested 400,000 just for rent. Before opening, he spent funds on advertising and hiring, and on already ordered clothes, shelves, and other items. Open for less than half a month, the shop barely started, still in promotion, then it shut down directly.

Dismissed hired staff, returned wholesale clothes at discounted costs - he struggled for nearly a month, barely profiting, but losing at least 200,000.

Hearing this, Qin Yun chuckled, offering no particular opinion.

Here, renting 200 square meters for 300,000 was already very cheap. Qin Yun was confident that elsewhere probably wouldn't be as inexpensive as here.

Thus, he decided not to explore other options.

After exchanging a few polite words, Fatty Wang finally left, and this store became Qin Yun's.

"200 square meters, suitable for the fivefold divine Wealth-Gathering Array's limit; should be enough, right?" Staring at the large store, Qin Yun thought to himself.
