Chapter 572
Meng Haisheng and Lin Mucheng came to the Oriental Department Store not just to take a look.
He came here to learn about the details of the Oriental Department Store.
The Oriental Department Store was not built by the Shi family. It was a state-owned unit at the beginning, and later it was restructured and became the Shi family's.
The stalls here are only rented out and not sold. The Shi family can make a lot of money every year just by collecting rent.
However, in the past two years, the domestic economy has been liberalized, and many shopping malls have been built on Dongyue Street, so the Oriental Department Store is not as prosperous as before.
It is only during the Chinese New Year that everyone wants to prepare some New Year goods, and the Oriental Department Store will present a prosperous scene.
Meng Haisheng did not rush to the company to inquire about the business situation of the Oriental Department Store, but bought an evening newspaper at the newsstand at the door and chatted with the uncle selling newspapers.
"Uncle, I see that the business of the Oriental Department Store is very prosperous. The stall fee inside is not cheap."
The uncle who bought the bag saw that Meng Haisheng was dressed well, so he spoke.
"It depends on who you contract with. If you contract with the Oriental Department Store Management Company, the smallest stall costs 100 yuan a month, and the slightly larger ones can be more expensive."
"But if you subcontract from someone else, it will be expensive. Even the most inconspicuous location costs 600 or 700 yuan. I heard that a larger store with a better location costs several thousand yuan."
"Young man, you want to buy a store."
"Yes, I have some money, so I want to buy a store and do small business."
"I think you should go somewhere else. The Oriental Department Store is still too expensive. The Fuyuan Department Store that just opened in front is no less popular than this place, and the key is that their prices are cheaper."
"What is the Fuyuan Department Store over there, uncle?" Price, the two shopping malls are on the same street, so the price difference should not be too big. "
"It's a big difference. Dongfang Shopping Mall basically can't rent shops from the management company, so it can only sublease from others, and the price difference is there."
"Fuyuan, although it is newly opened, can rent shops directly from the management company, and the price is much cheaper."
"Both shopping malls are on Dongyue Street. Now Fuyuan Shopping Mall seems to have few people, but in a few months, there will be more people there. If you want to rent a shop, you must go to Fuyuan Shopping Mall. Otherwise, the money you make is not enough to pay the rent."
"Thank you, uncle."
After talking to the uncle selling newspapers, Meng Haisheng already had a general understanding in his mind.
Because shops like Dongfang Shopping Mall are in short supply, some people sublease other shopping malls at high prices.
Now Meng Haisheng is not afraid of the high price of shops in Dongfang Shopping Mall. He is afraid that someone will deliberately drive up the price and make money from it.
After all, the lease of the shop expires every month, and no one can find fault with the management company saying that it will not be rented out when the lease expires.
"Haisheng, are we going to the management company now?"
"No, I'll ask the finance department here to check the accounts tomorrow."
It is very likely that we will alert the enemy now.
If Meng Haisheng remembered correctly, Shi Boxuan worked at the management company.
Meng Haisheng and Shi Boxuan did not have much contact, and at most they would meet and exchange a few words at Mr. Shi's place.
As for his personality, Meng Haisheng did not know.
He secretly thought that he hoped Shi Boxuan could withstand his test and not fire him as soon as he took over the Shi family business.
At the same time, Shi Rongqing and Shi Boxuan were also discussing the matter of Oriental Department Store at home.
"Dad, do you think Meng Haisheng will find out the trick of renting the shop?"
"I don't think so. Meng Haisheng has never come into contact with it before. He probably won't be able to think of it for a while. Boxuan, you have clear accounts in your company."
"The accounts are fine. At the beginning, I only gave a receipt to the person who rented the house, and it was filled out by hand. I asked the company's accountant to change it."
"When I collected the rent, it was all in cash. I also transferred it all out."
Shi Rongqing felt more at ease after hearing Shi Boxuan say this.
Since Shi Boxuan began to manage the daily operations of Oriental Commercial Building, he has collected a lot of money from it. He didn't take the money and planned to save it for Shi Boxuan to marry a wife.
"Now that Meng Haisheng has taken over the Oriental Department Store, you should not make money from it recently. Be quiet for two days, and when Meng Haisheng doesn't pay much attention to the Oriental Department Store, it won't be too late to make money again."
"Dad, you are wrong. Meng Haisheng has only been in Beijing for a few years, and he has built such a big business. Do you think he is not in a clear mind?"
"After he takes over the Oriental Department Store, it won't take long for him to find out the tricks. By then, I really won't get a penny."
"While he is in the dark now, I will make more money quickly. By the time he knows everything, I will have resigned and left."
"Boxuan, you don't plan to work in our company, isn't this normalIt's good for Meng Haisheng's wishes."
Shi Rongqing looked at Shi Boxuan in disbelief.
He only has this one son, Shi Rongqing has high hopes for him, and he also knows him well.
If he leaves Dongfang Department Store now, he will have a lot of money in his hands, and he will definitely start a business.
He is still young and not suitable for starting a business.
The best way at present is to continue working in Dongfang Department Store, and after accumulating a few years of work experience, it will be the best choice to start a business in the future.
"Dad, I understand your worries, but have you ever thought that after Meng Haisheng takes over Dongfang Department Store, he will definitely replace everyone from top to bottom with his people."
"Meng Haisheng and I don't have much friendship. On the surface, we are cousins, but in fact, we are not even friends."
"Do you think I can continue to stay in the company under this situation? Dad, just believe me for a while. I will collect the rent before the New Year, and then resign, leaving a mess for Meng Haisheng. "
Shi Boxuan said with a sly smile on his face.
The two are about the same age, and Shi Boxuan is even much older than Meng Haisheng.
But the current achievements of the two, anyone who is not blind can see that Meng Haisheng has surpassed Shi Boxuan by a lot.
Shi Boxuan, who has a strong self-esteem, feels unhappy every time he sees Meng Haisheng.
Meng Haisheng has lived in the mountains since he was a child, while he grew up in the prosperous environment of Beijing.
He should have been more promising than Meng Haisheng, but now it is just the opposite.
Jealousy blinded Shi Boxuan's eyes.
Even if he didn't change the rent, he couldn't be in the same company with Meng Haisheng and let him manage him.
As the year-end was approaching, Shi Boxuan didn't have much time to delay. The next day, he called Zou Kai, the company's financial officer, early and asked him to keep an eye on the group of people who renewed the lease at the end of the year.
"Shi Jingli, today President Meng called and said he wanted to check our accounts. He will ask me to send the accounts to the head office now."
"Why don't we talk about the renewal later. "
Zou Kai, the finance officer of Oriental Commercial Building Management Company, reported to Shi Boxuan with some embarrassment.
