…

The next day, Zhou Liangyun, who temporarily stayed at a fast hotel near Antique Street, came to Antique Street early in the morning.

Although he asked the vendor to help him find a shop yesterday, he also knew that it was unlikely that others would really help, so he still had to rely on himself for everything.

Yesterday afternoon, he found many shops in the Antique Street saying they were for rent or sublet. He thought that the business in the Antique Street was not that easy now, so as soon as he arrived at the Antique Street in the morning, he went to those sublet shops. to understand the situation.

When the Antique Street was at its peak, the domestic antique market was also at its hottest. People who were looking for antiques still can’t help but slap their thighs in excitement when they think of those golden years.

In that era, a pair of Wenwan walnuts cost at least several thousand yuan, and a good one could even cost tens or even millions.

A Dzi bead, as big as a child’s little finger, can start at tens of millions, and can even go up to hundreds of millions. The key is that there are really unfair people who buy it.

The most ridiculous thing is that a few years ago, a cultural toy called the Dripping Lotus entered the market and was sold at a sky-high price as soon as it appeared. Later, people discovered that the toy was actually a southern roadside landscape plant. seed.

Many of the vendors in the antique street now entered the industry at that time. In that golden period, it was difficult to find a shop in the antique street, and a small storefront of less than 20 square meters. Not to mention the rent, the transfer fee alone was as high as dozens. Ten thousand, it is common for larger shops to have transfer fees of several million.

However, now that the antiques industry is experiencing a downturn, more than half of the shops in Antique Street will not receive transfer fees at all when they are transferred to external parties. Only good shops in core locations can still charge some transfer fees.

Zhou Liangyun looked around and fell in love with a two-story shop that was being transferred. The shop’s name was Zhenbaoxuan. The location was good or not, and the area was decent. Each floor was about fifty square meters. The downstairs was now occupied by The operators use it to sell agate, jade and some unpopular cheap gemstones, and the second floor is the bedroom where the operators live.

The other party’s quotation for this shop is a transfer fee of 150,000 yuan, and the remaining three months of the lease period. After the lease period is up, the landlord will renew the lease at a price of 200,000 yuan a year.

The annual rent of 200,000 yuan is not expensive, but the transfer fee of 150,000 yuan is somewhat outrageous.

So Zhou Liangyun said to the other party: “I have an impression of your store. When I was at Ji Qingtang, this store had been open for a long time. The contract you signed with the landlord must not have been 200,000 yuan a year, right? ?”

The other party replied: “I have been running this store for almost ten years. When I first took over, I paid a transfer fee of 300,000 yuan to the previous tenant, and the rent was 250,000 yuan a year. Later, the business was not doing well, and the rent increased all the way. It was reduced to 180,000, but the landlord now regrets it and plans to increase the rent to 200,000. I really don’t want to work anymore, so I don’t want to renew the contract with him. The transfer fee of 300,000 back then is now 50% off. One hundred and fifty thousand comes with three months’ rent, which is already a very low price.”

Zhou Liangyun nodded. Although the other party’s words were accurate, he did not question the authenticity of the other party’s words. The only thing that made him doubtful was the current value of the shop.

The original transfer fee only represented the original market price, and the current price has nothing to do with the original transfer fee. It is only related to the current market value. This is the same logic as the stock.

Judging from the current business situation in the antique street, it is impossible for such a small shop to receive a dime in transfer fees.

The reason for this is also very simple. When business is not doing well, many stores are losing money. Most businesses can only hold on while trying to sublease because their leases and rents have not expired. At the same time, he was also prepared. If no one took over, he would have to wait until the last moment.

But once the lease expires, with the current situation of operating at a loss, they will definitely not be able to sign a one-year lease with the landlord, so they will have to pack up and leave at that time, handing the shop back to the landlord in exchange for being in the landlord’s hands. Deposit in hand.
