Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Snack market near the Thriller Hostel.

The construction here is still in full swing, but it is almost to the final stage.

The original large-scale farmer’s market has been changed beyond recognition. Although the construction has not been completed, the general appearance of the cyberpunk style can already be seen.

A large number of contrasting cold and warm colors of various neon lights crawled all over the outer wall, and in order to match these lights, the exterior of the entire building was also slightly adjusted: in accordance with the original deconstruction, some new structures with a strong style were built .

All kinds of billboards also exude light, giving people a feeling of feasting and feasting. These billboards are intricate and use the space above to the extreme.

In the interior of the snack market, this cyberpunk style is extended to every detail.

Although due to the original architectural structure, the building here cannot be exactly the same as the scene in "Better Tomorrow", in the snack market, Liang Qingfan still worked hard to restore several shops in "Better Tomorrow", including The scene when the hero and the heroine eat together.

It is precisely because the production team of "Better Tomorrow" made reference to a large number of cyberpunk styles during production, which allowed Liang Qingfan to directly learn from the elements of the movie, which greatly reduced his workload.

The great success of "Better Tomorrow" also made the idea of ​​"Cyberpunk Food Street" even more emboldened.

However, for Liang Qingfan, there is still a very serious problem that needs to be resolved, and that is the atmosphere of the cyberpunk snack street.

There is a small part of the real scene + pure special effects in the movie, so there is a lot of room for free play.

And some details are difficult to reproduce in reality.

In order to improve this problem as much as possible and further enhance the immersion of Cyberpunk Snack Street, Liang Qingfan also thought of many ways.

The first is custom props, like a movie set, making a lot of decorations.

For example, the nearby lights are all sci-fi street lights, which are specially customized; there is also a model of a sports car with a sense of science and technology parked on the roadside of the entrance for customers to take pictures; some are specially set aside The location is used as a shop, and different shops sell simulated gun models, medicine models or mechanical prosthetic models, further enhancing the immersion of the entire scene.

The second is to add some more atmosphere-enhancing arrangements, such as fog effects.

Cyberpunk generally chooses days and nights or dark and rainy weather.This is because the neon light effects of various lights and feasts can be best displayed at night, and the wet roads on rainy nights will reflect neon lights, and the pitch-black sky screen hints at crimes that are happening at any time in this high-tech city. Only when the fog in the air bleeds the lights of various colors can the whole atmosphere be perfectly contrasted.

If it is a sunny day and all the scenes are unobstructed, then the cyberpunk feel will definitely be weakened.

The weather here in Jingzhou is normal, and the foggy and rainy days are not too many. Therefore, if you want to achieve the cyberpunk effect perfectly, the conditions are relatively harsh.

It is impossible for Liang Qingfan to change the weather and climate in Jingzhou. If he had the ability, he would not be just an architect and would have already gone to work in the Meteorological Bureau.

If you want to achieve the best results, you must use a huge shell to cover the entire Cyberpunk Snack Street, and make a fake exterior scene inside, including the dark sky and the tall buildings with neon lights in the distance. The cost is too huge, and it is not necessary at this stage.

After all, the Cyberpunk Snack Street has not yet officially opened, and it is hard to say whether tourists will accept it.

When this snack market is really hot, it is not too late to consider additional investment.

What Liang Qingfan thought of was a compromise: arranging a large number of spouts in and around the snack market to make sprays. These spouts would be slightly shielded and hidden by the surrounding buildings, but they would leave the surrounding environment in A slightly wet feeling.

Corresponding lights will also be arranged around these sprays, which further blurs the spray visually, presenting a hazy feeling.

In this way, at least at night, tourists can see the authentic cyberpunk.

As for the daytime, the effect may be better on cloudy days, but on sunny days, just let the flow go.

Just like many scenic spots, they are only good at certain time periods, so there are peak seasons and low seasons.It is not impossible to play in the off-season, although the experience is not as perfect as the peak season, but there are few people crowded.

For the snack market, it is definitely the best time to come at night, but if you come at noon or afternoon, there are not so many people. Some popular stalls can be eaten without queuing, which is also a good choice.

So far, the snack market has entered its finishing work and is expected to be officially opened in about a month.

Zhang Yahui has selected the first batch of outstanding stall owners who entered the snack market. The snacks that these stall owners are good at are different. Zhang Yahui encourages them to read more about cyberpunk themes and try to do something similar. food.

Even simple meat skewers and burgers should be made as unique as possible, and they should be as diverse as possible on the premise of trying to ensure that they are delicious, so that they can stand out from the crowd.

Of course, even if Zhang Yahui doesn't say anything, these stall owners will definitely try to improve their tastes, launch new products, and try to attract customers.

After all, there is fierce competition between stall owners and stall owners.

These stall owners are all from the original city, where they are the best food stalls in the whole street, but after they come here, they have to start from scratch and compete with those equally good stall owners. Will soon be eliminated.

To this end, Bao Xu has also formulated a series of rules to guide healthy competition among stall owners. When the snack market officially opens, these rules formulated by Bao Xu with game thinking will certainly play a very important role.

At this time, Bao Xu and Zhang Yahui were wearing safety helmets and inspecting the scene.

Since the start of the construction of the snack market, Bao Xu has been running here twice in three days, running more frequently than the Tenda game.

His efforts have paid off, and everyone on the Tenda game side thought he was performing an important task.

Obviously, in the next selection of the best employee, Bao Xu should not be sent abroad for the reason of "because there is nothing to do, so I will be a tour guide to accompany others to travel".

But this obviously has a side effect.

Bao Xu's positive actions have greatly mobilized Zhang Yahui's work enthusiasm.

Zhang Yahui did not expect that Bao Xu, as an employee of the game department, would be so caring about the snack market. This behavior of helping the brothers departments regardless of their profit or loss made him feel the warmth of the Tenda family.

Seeing that the buddies who came to help are so serious and responsible, he, the real person in charge, must be more concerned!

The two were chatting, and Liang Qingfan, who had just left to call, came back.

"Two, there is good news!"

"Now that we have money, we can buy shops!"

Bao Xu and Zhang Yahui were stunned for a moment, and did not respond for the first time: "Shop? What shop?"

Liang Qingfan said, "From here to the shops on the street of the Shocking Hostel!"

The two suddenly realized: "Oh? That's great!"

Because this matter is a bit far away, Bao Xu and Zhang Yahui have been paying attention to the internal affairs of the snack market, and they almost forgot about this matter.

When selecting the location of the snack market and finalizing the details of the cyberpunk style, Liang Qingfan once proposed this idea: It is about one or two kilometers from the snack market to the thrilling hostel. If you can take the surrounding streets If all the shops are bought or rented, after a little renovation, it can be transformed from a single cyberpunk scenic spot into a cyberpunk snack street.

An entire street can be shaped into a similar style.

Of course, this project is relatively large and cannot be completed overnight.

At present, the main part of the snack market is about to be renovated, but the shops on this street are still in the negotiation stage. Originally, they were talking about a ten-year long-term lease contract, but only a small number of shops have signed the contract. .

On the one hand, it is necessary to distinguish the priority of work, and things at the snack market are obviously more important. As for these shops along the street, buying early and late is actually the same. You must wait for the snack market to get on track before slowly transforming this one. street.

On the other hand, it’s because, with regard to specific rent issues, the attitude of the owner of each shop is not consistent, and a lot of energy is involved in the process of talking, and it is a little unpleasant.

This area was originally near the old industrial area, but there are not many young people. Residential buildings and shops are basically old houses, so whether it is bought or rented, the price in the surrounding market is not very high.

The conditions given by Zhang Yahui and others are that they sign a ten-year long-term lease with these shops based on a 50% increase in the existing rent, and a liquidated damages will be paid if they breach the contract halfway.

It stands to reason that this condition is already very favorable.

These shops were originally very partial, and they were only doing small transactions before, and their profits were very low.The monthly rent for a store of fifty to sixty square meters is only less than two thousand yuan. Zhang Yahui also understands the difficulty of these shops, and he has taken the initiative to raise the price to about three thousand, which is quite sincere.

Some shop owners felt very satisfied, so they immediately signed the contract, allowing Zhang Yahui and the others to transform the shop casually.

With this long contract, they won’t have to worry about renting out the shop.

But there are also some shop owners who are not satisfied with the price, and even secretly ventilate and want a higher price.

Because they can see that the Shocking Hotel has been opened, there is a huge passenger flow from all over the country, and Tenda has started construction on the original farmer’s market, which is obviously busy with new projects.

Now we are going to rent all the shops in the whole street. One lease lasts for ten years. This must be a big move!

When thinking of Tenda being so rich, these people feel that the 50% rent increase is not enough.

After all, this long contract is to be signed for ten years. Who knows what will happen ten years later?What if the money made by this shop in a year doubles five or ten times?If the rent cannot be increased, isn't it a loss?

Therefore, these people either hope to increase the rent price a little bit, or they want to sign a short-term lease, such as only two or three years, so that they can still think about rent increases in the future.

Liang Qingfan and Zhang Yahui were definitely not happy.

Because in their opinion, the development of this place depends entirely on Mr. Pei.If Mr. Pei had not invested heavily in the construction of the Shocking Hotel and the Snack Market, the rent on this street would not only not rise, but would decrease with the gradual loss of personnel.

The rent has risen by 50%, and sincerity is sufficient. If other companies want to rent, the owner of these shops may have agreed without saying anything.

But just because they think Tenda is rich and can make money, they open their mouths to the lion, which really makes no sense.

Moreover, whether this street can make money is still unknown.

In the unlikely event that the snack market does not start, and this food street has no traffic, they signed a ten-year long contract at a very high price. Isn't that a big loss?

President Pei trusted so much and gave such an important project to the three of them, but in the end it turned out like this, and this responsibility can't be taken.

Therefore, the two sides are in a stalemate. Except for a few more enlightened shop owners who have signed long-term contracts, the other shops are still waiting.

Liang Qingfan said: "It just so happened that Mr. Pei gave a sum of money. I think this matter can almost have a result."

"For these shops, we give them three choices: either sign a long-term contract at the current price and rent it for ten years; or we can buy their shops at a premium of 50% of the market price; if they both If you don’t accept it, let’s just let the food court go around."

"Want to take advantage of us, no way!"

Although the Cyberpunk Food Street is called Food Street, it is much longer than most food streets.

A distance of one or two kilometers can't be reached by one road. From one end to the other, there are at least six or seven intersections, large and small.

If a certain store does not cooperate, Liang Qingfan can consider buying it next to him, and then through some means to allow tourists to bypass this store.

For example, make a route map to guide tourists to follow a specific route; or Tenda's own store to make a unified sign and guide signs.

Those shops that have signed the contract are planned and arranged uniformly by Tenda, and the decoration style is clear at a glance.It is very difficult for other shops to learn.

What's more, tourists are naturally disgusted with the hot "fake shops". As long as Tenda tells them that a certain shop is not a snack street shop, most tourists will not go.

These shops want to take advantage of Tenda, not so easy.

Therefore, shops that do not cooperate with Tenda will find nothing in the end.

Even if they do business themselves, the stall owners on Tenda are all elites from all over the country. Why should these original bosses fight?

Liang Qingfan must let all shop owners know clearly: Tenda will never be corrupted, so don't make the wrong idea.

Otherwise, if you come to touch porcelain today, the rent will be increased, and the day after tomorrow he will make trouble to change the contract. Wouldn’t it be endless?

As for buying and renting, it seems that the price fluctuation is the same, but in fact there is a big difference.

As a second-tier city, the current rental-sale ratio of most shops in Jingzhou is about 1:300, which means that a shop rented in 2000 will cost 600,000 yuan.

If you spend 600,000 to buy a shop, you will need to charge 300 months of rent, which means you can pay back the cost in the past 30 years.

The same is a premium of 50%, the monthly rent only rose from 2000 to 3000, but the total price of shops rose from 600,000 to 900,000.

The difference in this number seems to be huge.

The rent increases, it doesn't hurt to get 1,000 more each month, while the price of shops increases, but you can get 300,000 more at one time. The higher the total price of shops, the more money you get.

With this large sum of money, you can immediately invest or manage money, and the temptation is much greater.

Most of the shop owners on this street don't have much money. For them, the temptation of hundreds of thousands is still great.

What's more, the shop in this area has always been extremely difficult to sell. Renting can still find business people, but if it is sold, almost no one is willing to spend hundreds of thousands to buy it.

Give up this opportunity to sell it, and it is likely that you will never have the opportunity to sell it at such a high price in the future.

Of course, selling is also risky. If the value of the store increases by more than 50% after ten years, it will sell at a loss.On the contrary, it is the long-term rental shops. Ten years later, the shops are still in their hands, and they can still get the rent, which is much more cost-effective.

But not everyone can resist the huge temptation of immediate benefits, let alone no one can predict how much money these shops will increase in the future.

Now Liang Qingfan is just having a showdown with these shop owners, either selling or renting for a long time. There is no third way.If some shop owners want to be clever, Liang Qingfan would rather spend more money to turn the food street around instead of letting them drink a sip of soup!
