Chapter 137 Finding a Store Is Not Easy

Feng Zhenchang was also furious. He wanted to make this happen, but he didn't want to spend money to beg those officials. So early the next morning, he sent the things he bought to several shops. I just rode a tricycle and asked all the way. After spending about an hour, I finally found the new long-distance bus station under construction.

The main body of the station building has been completed, but there are still scaffolding on the outside, two tower cranes standing in the front and back, and the bottom is also surrounded by green nets. At the big iron gate, there are trucks coming in and out from time to time.

Compared with the old station he often goes to, the new station is bigger and more modern. On the front side, there is a glass curtain wall that is not common. Feng Zhenchang stared resentfully at the second floor for a few times. There was the planned dining area. He wiped the sweat off his face with a towel wrapped around his neck. In the hot sun, he pedaled a tricycle around the station. change.

The old man at the door stared at Feng Zhenchang vigilantly, fearing that he would sneak in from some hole and steal building materials, and seeing him riding a tricycle to the other side, he was still a little uneasy, wishing to follow him and watch.

The area directly opposite the new station is also under construction in full swing. It seems to be a high-rise commercial housing complex. The other three sides are relatively old buildings, and there are many shops facing the street, but now it seems that the business is average, especially on this sunny morning, there are very few patrons.

However, many of these small shops have obviously been renovated, and they are mainly small shops, snack bars, and gift shops.

There were rental numbers posted on the closed doors of several houses. He looked at them and found that none of them were ideal. The width of a shop is only three to five meters, and the depth is similar. At least two adjacent shops are required to add up. So far, what I have seen so far is one here, one there, and no two are connected.

However, something is better than nothing. He bought a ballpoint pen and a notebook, looked through each one carefully, and wrote down the basic information and contact numbers of these stores.

He has opened six stores, and he also has some experience in choosing locations. The store next to the station is the best, of course, next to the front door, followed by the back door, and the ones on both sides are average.

I walked around the station three times, and I really didn’t find a single one I wanted. There are some in good locations, such as this one, across the road, on the same street as the front gate of the station, and it’s only three to five minutes away from the main gate of the station. The shop and the canteen next door are the same, the opening is less than three meters, and it is only a dozen square meters at the top of the sky, which is really not suitable.

He parked the tricycle on the side of the road, took off the straw hat on his head, and gave a cigarette to the old man in the canteen next door who was looking at him, "Uncle, please inquire, is there a bigger store nearby for rent?"

The old man's yellow teeth must be an old smoker, he took the cigarette and puffed it in his palm, and looked him up and down, "You, rent a store?"

He has the same opinion as the old man at the station construction site. Feng Zhenchang's attire is a standard for picking up junk, and he rents a storefront, and he wants something bigger?

It's not that Feng Zhenchang didn't see the suspicion and contempt in the old man's eyes, and he didn't want to worry about it, so he said sincerely, "Yes, I want to find a bigger store, and would like to ask if there is one nearby?"

Although the old man still didn't believe it, but because of his attitude, he said jokingly, "I want a bigger store, yes, about two hundred square meters, is it enough?"

Really? "Enough," Feng Zhenchang said repeatedly, "Where is it?"

The old man pointed out, "Go back and look up!"

Feng Zhenchang took a few steps back as he said, and looked up. There was a row of tea-colored glass on the second floor, with a piece of red paper "For Rent on the second floor" pasted on it. Looking at the length, it was as long as the nearly ten stores below, and there should be enough space.

He went back and forth a few times just now, only looking at the pavement downstairs, he really didn't pay attention to the upstairs. Could it be that there is nowhere to find it, and it doesn't take much effort to get it?

As long as the area is large, the second floor is also good, and the rent can be cheaper.

"Uncle, may I ask you, where do you go up?" He asked urgently.

The old man thought to himself, it still looks like the real thing, but he still pointed out, "Turn the corner over there, go around to the back, and there are stairs to go up."

When Feng Zhenchang saw it, his heart sank a little. There were still tens of meters to the corner, and he had to go around the back to go up. No matter how delicious the food was made and how well the decoration was, it would not attract much business.

With the idea of ​​just in case, he pedaled the car for a while, and confirmed the guess in his heart, the entrance was in the middle, but it was just behind.

Walking back very disappointed, he still copied the contact number on the red paper, forced himself to thank the old man, and he pedaled back slowly.

Is this the only way to give up? Thinking of the prospects his son said, and thinking of the thousands of dollars spent on those few people, Feng Zhenchang felt very unwilling.

When he returned to the first store on Xueyuan Road, it was already past lunch time. He rode his tricycle to the backyard and entered the kitchen through the back door. Seeing that the first floor was still full, he finally felt better.

He wanted to cook a bowl of noodles by himself, but Mei Qiuping, who was wearing work clothes, yelled at him, "Go out, you're covered in sweat, and you're not wearing work clothes. The guests outside won't have a good impression."

The little daughter-in-law recruited from the yard on the side watched and smiled.

Mei Qiuping served him a bowl of chicken soup, and asked him to eat a wheat cake to cushion his stomach, and when there were fewer guests, he went to the corridor and asked him, "How is it?"

"The place must be good. There are shops around, but there are no suitable ones." Feng Zhenchang told her what he learned today.

"It's a pity, why do you have to go around to the back to go up to the second floor?"

"Yeah, I also think it's a pity. Although the houses over there are older, there are still many people living there. Even if you don't rely on the station, the business will not be bad if you open a store there." Feng Zhenchang said.

"Or, will you still go to the deputy director?" Mei Qiuping asked tentatively.

"Wait a little longer, I'll look around for another two days, maybe I'll find the right one?"

The next morning, he asked Mei Yiliang to borrow Cai Lei's motorcycle and take him around the station.

Uncle Lang walked around the station a few times, and also went to places two streets away, but they couldn't find a satisfactory one. In the end, Feng Zhenchang took him to the second floor of the rented place.

Mei Yiliang also walked back and forth, and felt that it was a pity, if only the entrance was in front.

However, unlike Feng Zhenchang, he has done a lot of things like demolishing walls in the past few months, and he immediately thought of whether he could make an entrance in the front. After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea, and he pulled Feng Zhenchang to On one side, "Brother, I have an idea!"

"Really?" Feng Zhenchang grabbed him.

"It's better to rent the second floor, and even rent the storefront on the first floor, and then make a staircase to go up from the first floor, won't it be solved?"

"Can this work?" Feng Zhenchang was very happy to hear that, but he was a little uncertain, "Can it be done by opening a big hole on the roof of the first floor?"

"I took a look. This building is a brick-concrete structure. The top of the first floor is a prefabricated cement slab. At most, the next few pieces should be re-reinforced. It will not affect the overall load-bearing."

"real?"

"Of course it is true!" Mei Yiliang said, "Hey, where are you going?"

"Call!" Feng Zhenchang said without looking back.
