I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 20 Cost-effective Inns

After getting my consent, Bai Lu called her sister who wanted to transfer the inn, and said that she would be here in three or ten minutes.While waiting, we continued to chat, and Director Ma sang the song "Women's Flower" three or four meters away from us. His singing voice was different from others. The feeling of ecstasy being sung by him should also be a kind of talent, after all, the feeling he sang can't be imitated by others.

After drinking a few bottles of beer, the woman Bai Lu invited finally came to the bar.She sat down across from me, and then introduced herself. Her name is Zhao Jing, from Shenzhen. She came to Dali in 2013. I also briefly told her about my situation.

After she took the beer I handed her, she said: "The inn is located at the Longkan Wharf. It has been ordered to close by the government. I don't know when it will be unsealed...but I have an advantage because my The documents are all complete, if the policy is loosened in the future, then my inn must be the first batch to be unsealed."

I asked, "Then how much did you invest in this inn?"

"The rent is not expensive... There are ten rooms in total, and the annual rent is 15. I signed a 150-year contract with the landlord, and the rent has not increased... But the decoration really cost a lot of money. Our inn did the landscape. , and there is an infinity small swimming pool in the public area, which cost about [-] million before and after.”

I just took a deep breath. Although this inn sounds very cost-effective, the transferable price is definitely not within my tolerance, but since they have come here on purpose, out of courtesy, I still have to inquire about the price. So I asked: "How much is the specific transfer fee?"

Zhao Jing replied: "90."

Although the transfer fee was lower than expected, it was definitely not something I could afford, so I honestly said to her: "I'm sorry, this price is really beyond budget, I can't afford so much money. "

Zhao Jing nodded, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Actually, the transfer fee is not high, and I transferred it at a low price because I was in a hurry to spend money. The inn has two sea view suites, and they can be sold during normal business hours." It costs 800 yuan, and the configuration of other rooms is not bad. Basically, it costs 400 yuan a day, so the price/performance ratio is still very high.”

I did some calculations in my mind. If the transfer fee of 90 yuan is used, as long as I achieve 90% of the occupancy rate, I can basically earn back the transfer fee in one year. In terms of return on investment, in fact It is still quite high, but if the occupancy rate can be achieved to [-]% to [-]%, and while the transfer fee of [-] yuan can be recovered, and hundreds of thousands can be earned, then no matter how you look at it, it can be done.The only risk comes from the policy, because it is unknown when the water in the Erhai Lake will be purified and the inn will be reopened. "

I was a little moved, so I asked Zhao Jing again: "When the inn was not closed before, how much occupancy rate could it achieve?"

"During the peak season, the room can be fully occupied every day, and during the off-season, there is at least a [-]% occupancy rate, and we are gold merchants on Tujia and Airbnb, with a good reputation."

I nodded and continued to weigh in my heart...

The iron man next to him seemed to have noticed something, and after he lit a cigarette, he also said to Zhao Jing: "According to what you said, this must be a profitable inn, and you should have made a lot of money before, so why not?" Are you still in a hurry? Anyway, the Seaview Inn will resume business sooner or later, and you have all the documents, so you can afford it!"

"My husband has lost money in business in Shenzhen, and now urgently needs cash for turnover, otherwise I wouldn't have transferred it at such a low price."

Bai Lu nodded and said to us: "I can testify about this matter. Before Zhao Jing transferred the inn, she had already transferred to a bar at a loss... You are all my friends. As a middleman, I will definitely not cheat you. Don't worry. Bar."

Tetsuo nodded, and then said to me: "Don't rush to refuse, you go to see the inn tomorrow and make a decision... I think it's quite cost-effective, just take a little policy risk, in case the government two or three times If there is no plan to resume business at the Seaview Hotel within this year, it will be a real loss. But once the policy is loosened, this is really a profitable hotel."

I responded, and then asked Zhao Jing, "What's the name of your inn?"

"Huaxiang Yunduo... If you are really interested, please make a decision as soon as possible, because there are other people who are talking to me now. You are Bai Lu's friend, and of course I will give you priority. If you come to Dali again in the future, I will also You can go back to the inn to be a guest, after all these years, I still have a lot of affection for the inn.”

"I understand, I will seriously consider it!"

……

After Zhao Jing left, I checked the sales volume and word-of-mouth of "Flower Fragrant Clouds" on some travel software, and it turned out that Zhao Jing's words were not exaggerated, and the sales volume and word-of-mouth of this inn were indeed comparable OK

I put down my phone and said to Tie Nan with some regret: "The inn is pretty good, but I really can't afford the transfer fee of 90."

"Let's see and talk about it tomorrow."

I was a little puzzled, but I felt that I didn't lack time, even if I didn't have the ability to take over, it wouldn't hurt to learn about the market here by the way, so I didn't ask Tetsuo more.

At this time, Tie Nan said to Bai Lu again: "Come and see with us tomorrow morning?"

"I won't go. Before her inn closed down, I often went to her place to play, and there was nothing to see."

"Isn't that good, you lead us the way, so that we don't get lost and waste time."

Bai Lu smiled and replied, "If I can get up tomorrow morning, I will go with you."

……

After leaving Bailu's bar, Tie Nan and Director Ma made an appointment to drink with other friends. They asked me if I wanted to go to corruption together, but I didn't have any extra energy because I already had a drink at Bailu's bar. sign of high.

For this, Tie Nan and Director Ma gave me deep contempt. They felt that my drinking capacity was not enough to hang out in Dali, but this night, I had already drank 8 bottles of "Fenghua Xueyue".

After separating from them, I took a taxi and went back to the "Fengrenyuan". When I was about to open the door and enter the house, I subconsciously looked at the "Haitu" Inn not far away.And I didn't pay attention to it before, because I didn't know that Ye Zhi lived in it.

At this time, "Haitu" is the same as "Fengrenyuan", there are almost no lights on inside, only one of the four floors is still on.I reckoned that it was the room where Ye Zhi lived, because that room had a good view, since Ye Zhi lived in as a friend of the innkeeper, she would naturally reserve the best room for her.Besides, the inns on the Erhai Sea are currently undergoing a comprehensive rectification, and even though they are closed, there are no people living in the inns, so it is even more certain.

If the meeting in the evening was due to loneliness, then living in a very close place like neighbors at this time should be a real fate, but how did this kind of fate come about?And will there be more contact between us because of this fate?
……

Back in my room, I took a hot bath first, and then in order not to feel too uncomfortable when I woke up tomorrow, I started drinking plain water desperately to dilute the alcohol in my body.In the end, I emptied myself like a wooden man, sitting in the yard staring at the stars in a daze.

When I came back to my senses, I sorted out what happened today in my heart again. I felt that it was necessary for me to call Lao Huang to explain the truth of the matter at this time, because after half a day, he should also Calm down and listen carefully to me explaining to him.

I was a little nervous, so before making the call, I lit myself a cigarette, and when the call got through, I waited with bated breath...
