After a few twists and turns, Li Dong finally met the person in charge of Longhua's Renting Office.
The manager's surname was Wang. He did not know if he was related to the girl just now. Li Dong suspected that she had entered through the back door.
Wang Yunqing was very polite when he saw Li Dong. He sent Wang Jia to pour some tea and invited Li Dong to the meeting room to talk.
Li Dong sighed. This was the demeanor of a big company.
Not judging people by their appearance was a basic requirement. Who knew which guy in slippers might be the boss of a listed company?
Besides, he was not wearing slippers today. He was just a little young.
After entering the meeting room, the two of them found a place to sit opposite each other.
After Wang Jia poured a cup of tea for both of them, Li Dong stood up and introduced himself. "Hello, Manager Wang. I'm the general manager of Far away Supermarket Chain, Li Dong!"
"Hello, General Manager Li. Nice to meet you!"
Wang Yunqing quickly stood up and shook hands with Li Dong.
Although he had never heard of Far away Supermarket Chain, he had been in the business world for a long time. Naturally, he would not say such obnoxious words.
After exchanging some pleasantries with Li Dong, Wang Yunqing started the topic. "General Manager Li, are you planning to let Far away Supermarket Chain enter Longhua?"
"That's the idea." Li Dong nodded.
Since they were here, it was to rent a house. Li Dong did not beat around the bush. He went straight to the point. "I wonder if the second floor of Longhua has been rented out?"
After Li Dong finished speaking, Wang Yunqing was stunned.
He thought that Li Dong was only planning to rent a few small shops to open up the market. He did not expect him to open up the second floor.
Fortunately, he had a lot of experience. He quickly recovered and said, "Not yet. We are indeed planning to rent a large supermarket on the second floor, but …"
He did not finish his sentence, but it was obvious that he was not optimistic about Li Dong's plan.
A small supermarket whose name had never been heard of, and a twenty-year-old company's CEO actually wanted to open the largest supermarket in Pingchuan.
Alright, Wang Yunqing admitted that he judged people by their appearances.
Li Dong wasn't surprised. He smiled and said, "Manager Wang, can you tell me more about the situation?"
Wang Yunqing's mind was clear. Regardless of whether the other party really had an idea or was just bragging, since they were here, they were potential customers.
Even if he couldn't rent the second floor, it would be good to rent a few smaller shops.
Wang Yunqing cleared his throat and began to introduce, "Longhua's second floor has a total floor area of 12820 square meters and a usable area of 11800 square meters …"
Wang Yunqing was in charge of renting, so he knew the situation of the mall like the back of his hand.
Wang Yunqing emphasized on the points that Li Dong was concerned about, so that Li Dong had an idea in his heart.
After Wang Yunqing finished speaking, Li Dong suddenly said, "Are you selling it?"
Wang Yunqing was really dumbfounded. At this moment, he had no doubt that Li Dong was here to make fun of him!
His good upbringing allowed him to suppress his anger and replied, "I'm selling it. 6,000 yuan per square meter. The total price is 70 million, and General Manager Li can buy it back!"
The last "70 million" was said very loudly, almost telling Li Dong to scram if he didn't have the money!
Li Dong smacked his lips and didn't care about Wang Yunqing's attitude.
He didn't have the money. If he had the money, he would really want to buy it.
It was only 6,000 yuan per square meter. Ten years later, the first floor of a prime shop in Longhua Square would be sold at 50,000 yuan per square meter. At its peak, it would be sold at 70,000 to 80,000 yuan per square meter.
Although the second floor couldn't compare to the first floor, it was not difficult to sell it at 40,000 to 50,000 yuan per square meter.
With a return of nearly seven times, he would have a profit of 400 million in ten years. It was faster than robbing a bank.
But now was not the time to daydream. Li Dong couldn't afford 70 million even if he was beaten to death.
Li Dong returned to the topic at hand. "If you want to rent it, how much is the rent?"
Wang Yunqing heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Li Dong would continue to pester him endlessly.
Seeing Li Dong asking about the rent, he immediately replied, "The annual rent is 8 million. The contract can be signed for 5 years or 10 years. The first year's rent will be paid in full."
This kind of large shop usually had a longer lease period. It was normal to rent for 5 to 10 years.
"8 million?"
Li Dong silently calculated for a moment. The rent was 8 million a year. Actually, it was not too expensive. After all, the place was big enough.
But according to the current market price, 8 million was too much. It was more than 11% of the purchase price.
Under normal circumstances, the annual rent of a shopping mall was between 6% to 9% of the original purchase price. Although Longhua would prosper in the future, it was not at this level yet. Wang Yunqing's asking price was too high.
"General Manager Wang, give me a base price. I came here with sincerity. I'm afraid not many supermarket chains in Pingchuan would dare to rent out a shopping mall that is more than 10,000 square meters. "
Li Dong could tell that Tesco had not made a move yet. Otherwise, Wang Yunqing would have mentioned it.
Since he was the exclusive negotiator, Li Dong naturally wanted to lower the price.
The starting price was to let others bargain. But Wang Yunqing still had some doubts about Li Dong's ability. If the price was settled, and Li Dong did not want to rent the mall, it would be a waste of time.
Wang Yunqing was not in a hurry to talk about the price. He smiled and said, "Let's not be anxious about the price. General Manager Li has not seen the second floor, right? Do you want me to ask Xiao Wang to accompany you?"
Li Dong did not have the mood to go to the second floor. He knew the layout of the second floor better than anyone else.
Not to mention that it was just a rough shape now, he knew how it would look after it was renovated. He had been here many times when he was in university.
"General Manager Wang, a straightforward person does not beat around the bush. You are probably doubting Far away's ability. How about this? We can talk about the price now. Once we are done, I can sign the contract and pay the deposit on the spot. What do you think? "
Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Yunqing was still a little embarrassed when Li Dong exposed him in front of him.
But after being in society for so many years, Wang Yunqing had become thick-skinned. He quickly returned to normal.
After calming himself down, Wang Yunqing began to complain to Li Dong, "General Manager Li, eight million is really not high. You also know the advantages of Longhua Square …"
Wang Yunqing said a lot of things. It was nothing more than the good prospects of Longhua Square, the advantages of the geographical location, and the bright future of development …
Li Dong listened and did not interrupt. At the end, he made a killing blow and said, "Five million!"
Wang Yunqing's eyes widened. He looked at Li Dong in disbelief, as if he was insulted by the five million.
"General Manager Li!"
Wang Yunqing's throat was hoarse. He shook his head and shouted, "Five million? You just said three million. This is renting, not buying. If you rent it for ten years, then we will lose more than thirty million! "
…
The two of them argued for a long time, and Li Dong was also a little tired.
The price was temporarily fixed at 7.2 million, which was still a little beyond Li Dong's bottom line.
Not only the price, but also the contract. Wang Yunqing wanted to sign a value-added contract, and the annual rent would increase by five percent. This was also unacceptable to Li Dong.
Although five percent did not seem to be much, if it was calculated according to seven million, the rent after ten years would be 10.15 million. How could Li Dong agree to pay an additional ten million for ten years?
Li Dong picked up the cup and wanted to take a break for a while. But as soon as he picked up the cup, Li Dong shook his head.
Wang Yunqing also saw it. His face suddenly turned black and he shouted, "Xiao Wang, go and get a glass of water!"
They had been talking inside for more than half an hour, but no one in the office thought of getting a glass of water. This made Wang Yunqing very angry.
Longhua was a big group. Wasn't this embarrassing in front of outsiders?
This was Longhua's internal affairs, and Li Dong could not be bothered. He continued the previous topic, "General Manager Wang, I can't accept your conditions. If I sign a value-added contract, I will have to pay more than eighty million for ten years. If I have that ability, I might as well just buy it. "
"General Manager Li, this is not how you calculate it. If you deposit seventy million in the bank, according to the current interest rate of five percent, the interest will be more than thirty million. And your rent will only increase by a small part of the interest. "
Wang Yunqing cleared his throat and said, "Moreover, the property prices have been rising. Who knows what the price will be next year? Maybe you will get a bargain."
Just when Li Dong was about to refute, Wang Jia pushed the door open and walked in with a cup of tea.
Wang Yunqing's face turned black again. He reprimanded her with a straight face, "Don't you know how to knock?"
Wang Jia looked wronged. How could she knock when she was holding a tray with two hands?
As there were outsiders around, Wang Yunqing could not say much. He glared at Wang Jia before letting her go.
He continued, "General Manager Li, the annual rent is seven million. This is Longhua's bottom line. However, the contract must be signed with a value-added contract. "
Wang Jia, who had not left the room, was stunned when she heard seven million. She looked at Li Dong, who was sitting opposite Wang Yunqing, and was shocked!
She did not expect this guy to be a rich man!
