Chapter 1119 The Reason for the Harsh Restrictions
After punishing the scalper, getting back his hard-earned money, and taking a silver coin from the other party as spiritual compensation, Chen Fang happily found the small door according to the middle-aged man's description, and entered the rental hall of the housing management office. .
There are more than a dozen counters, and each counter has a little brother and a little sister sitting there, picking up numbers for people who come to rent shops to go through the formalities.
Chen Fang is not here to deal with the leasing business, he is here to find the person in charge here, and ask why he messes up the mess in his own shop leasing business.
"Hello, where is the office of your person in charge?"
Chen Fang stopped an employee of the housing management office and asked.
The staff looked at Chen Fang up and down, seeing how poor he was wearing short-sleeved pants, flip flops, and said in a disgusted tone: "Who are you, what do you want from our lord?"
Chen Fang couldn't help sighing when he saw the staff look at him with contempt.
Why is there always such a thing as a snob in the world? Be it reality or fiction.
"I am a charter tenant of a shop in the city, and I want to ask you adults about things."
The employee looked at Chen Fang in surprise, "I'm not kidding, you are the only one..."
But in the middle of the conversation, the employees may have thought of things such as "people should not be judged by appearances" and "some local tyrants like to keep a low profile", so they stopped in time and showed a "sincere" professional smile on their faces.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, please forgive me for being unreasonable. It's like this. Although my lord is here, he doesn't accept ordinary guests."
On the word "general", the staff pronounced the words very strongly.
Chen Fang understood.
"I have thousands of shops, this should not be considered normal."
"Stop joking, sir."
The employee put away his "sincere" smile, and said in a warning tone: "In Nirvana City, only one person owns so many shops, and other people can only own five shops at most. Do you know that if someone hears that sentence just now, How much trouble will it cause, maybe my life will be over."
Chen Fang scratched his head: "But one sentence will kill you, it's not such an exaggeration."
The employee said seriously: "I'm not joking, you know who I just said."
Chen Fang: "Is it Chen..."
The staff's eyes showed adoring light: "That's right, Marshal Chen Fang is the most powerful in Nirvana City, who is known as the undefeated king of adversity."
Chen Fang was dumbfounded.
When did I have so many cool titles?
"Isn't it a bit exaggerated to have so many titles? I think it's a bit too much."
A strong man in adversity, an undefeated army god, and an uncrowned king, let me go, what a great name, it's all over me now, and I can't bear it.
And seeing the honest expression of the staff, Chen Fangduo felt a little embarrassed.
"Hmph, what kind of person are you, what qualifications do you have to judge the commander in chief." The employee scolded.
Hey, I can't judge myself anymore.
Well, it doesn't seem to work.
Chen Fang rubbed his nose, "No, you misunderstood, how dare I comment on something, I mean, the title of Uncrowned King, would it be a bit bad, as if trying to provoke the relationship between the city lord and him."
If the uncrowned king is placed on the leader of all walks of life, it is fine, and everyone will not misunderstand, but it is not good if it is placed on Chen Fang.
The employee's complexion improved a little, and he looked at Chen Fang strangely and said, "What do you mean by that, the title of Uncrowned King, why do you provoke the relationship between the commander-in-chief and the city lord?"
Chen Fang: "Isn't it? The meaning of the uncrowned king does not mean the controller behind it. Doesn't this mean that the commander is actually the controller of Nirvana City?"
Employee: "What are you talking about, the uncrowned king is because if the merits of the commander-in-chief, if the imperial court in the southern border is still there, it is enough to be crowned king, it is because the imperial court is gone, so everyone will give it to you in private." The commander crowned the title of the uncrowned king."
That's it.
"Oh, I misunderstood."
"That's because I have a good temper, so I told you so much. I warn you again, don't speak ill of the commander-in-chief or make comments at will, because you are not qualified, otherwise, you will not be able to get along in Nirvana City." Employee Admonish again.
"Why?"
"No reason, everyone can live quietly like now, all because of the leadership of the Marshal, so everyone respects him very much."
Chen Fang was taken aback, all because of himself?
Is it too exaggerated, I don't seem to have done anything.
"Oh, that's how it is."
Although he really wanted to hear the reason why the employee in front of him boasted so much, but it was a bit too shameful to listen to others boasting himself in person, so Chen Fang didn't plan to continue.
"By the way, how can I meet your lord?" Chen Fang changed the subject.
The employee shook his head: "Our adults are very busy and won't see you, so please tell me if you have anything to do."
Chen Fang: "My business is quite big, can you decide?"
Employee: "If I can't make a decision, and I can't solve it, I can report it."
Chen Fang thought for a while and said, "I want to lease five shops from Dashuai, can you decide?"
The staff looked up and down again, very suspicious of Chen Fang's financial resources.
"I really can't decide to rent Dashuai's shop. I need to report it, but before that, I need you to prove your financial resources." The employee said.
Proof of financial resources?
Chen Fang took out all the remaining gold coins and a few small bags of mid-level and high-level cores from the space.
The employee checked for a while, then shook his head and said, "The money is about the same, but your identity is not enough."
"I don't have enough status, what do you mean, don't you need a certain status to rent the store of the Marshal?" Chen Fang asked.
I haven't heard of such a thing in rental shops before.
The employee nodded, "Needless to say what the status of the commander is, naturally not everyone can rent his shop. Without the corresponding wealth and status as restrictions, everyone can rent it. If it is rented to those who sell contraband, or People who are in the skin and meat business, or people with ulterior motives, use the name of the commander to bully customers, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the commander, so in this regard, we have to screen."
"ah."
"But having status and status doesn't mean that the business they do is good, maybe they also do some bad business secretly, and it will also affect the commander-in-chief."
"For this, we certainly take precautions, that is, let them pay a certain deposit every month."
"Security deposit? Isn't it a protection fee?"
"What kind of protection fee, it was misrepresented by outsiders."
"Oh, that's right. You can collect a deposit, but how can you guarantee that they won't do business that will affect the reputation of the Marshal? And who does this deposit belong to?"
"The deposit is paid once a month, which is 20% of the store's profit for the month. After two years of continuous payment, the payment will be stopped, and the money will be used as a pledge."
"During the two-year payment period, we will inspect the shop opened by the payer from time to time. If the inspection passes, half of the deposit will be refunded after two years. After that, if no problems are found during the annual regular inspection, only 1,000 will be kept. Gold coins are used as a deposit, and the rest of the money will be returned.”
"This security deposit will be returned when the lease expires, or if the tenant does not renew."
"Then what if the tenant is found to have committed illegal activities during the period?"
"The store was taken back, the security deposit was confiscated, and the tenants were handed over to the city administration."
I went, it was actually a restriction set up for my reputation, I thought it was...
Chen Fang felt a little embarrassed. Before, he thought that the Housing Management Office was trying to enrich their own pockets.
Then Chen Fang couldn't hold back and asked: "It's true that you are doing this to the general, but the conditions are so harsh, no one will rent the general's shop, isn't it blocking the general's way of making money? Is the commander to blame?"
The employee looked at Chen Fang and said with contempt: "Who is the commander in chief, I believe that if the commander in chief knows why we did this, he will not blame him."
Chen Fang twitched the corner of his mouth, he really didn't know how to face this matter.
Nima, for the sake of his reputation, a group of people insisted on setting harsh conditions and blocking their own way of making money. Is this considered to be doing bad things with good intentions? It doesn't count, but it already makes him unable to earn money. Without money, how will he live in the future.
"Actually, I think your conditions are too harsh. Why do you have to have a status to rent? Ordinary people can't do it. And as long as the supervision is better, you don't need to pay a deposit. Even if you pay, you don't need that much. Well, 20% of the profit, if there is a shortage of funds among the merchants, it’s just that close, wouldn’t it be possible to cause greater losses, and even directly fail the business.” Chen Fang said.
The employee snorted coldly: "You said it lightly, but if you really follow what you said, something will happen."
"No way."
"Hmph, what do you know? According to the people above, the commander-in-chief usually has nothing to do. With his behavior and style, he will definitely come out to collect rent in person."
"If you collect the rent, just collect the rent, so what can it do? What does this have to do with identity, and what kind of trouble can happen."
Having said that, who is the above person referring to? Is he the roundworm in my stomach? How does he know what I am thinking, Chen Fang thought.
"Ordinary people rent the shop of the general, do you think they will take this opportunity to ingratiate themselves with each other? When encountering troubles, will they use the friendship they have accumulated with the general to ask him for help, or Directly borrow the name of the commander to settle some of the things they encountered. When you say that, will the commander help? And those who use the name of the commander to do things will give the commander a reputation even if they are punished have an impact."
Chen Fang argued: "This... but people with status and status will do the same."
"That's right, but when people with status and status encounter problems, they will have many more paths to choose from than ordinary people, and they can solve them by themselves. Ordinary people often only have one or two straws, so in terms of probability , People with status will cause much less trouble for the commander than ordinary people."
"However, when something happens to them, what cannot be solved is often a major issue, and the consequences and impact caused are more serious than ordinary people."
"It is serious, but in terms of reputation, one big event is not as good as a hundred small ones, and the accumulated losses are often more terrifying, and small things happen every day, but big things don't."
"this……"
Chen Fang was speechless.
At this time, the employee sighed: "Ah, in fact, if the commander-in-chief can not come out to collect the rent himself, and let a specific person or our housing management office do it, we will not set such harsh conditions."
Chen Fang suddenly realized that this was the crux of the matter.
But going to collect the rent in person, wouldn't it be a great joy in life.
But collecting the rent in person, the conditions are harsh, and the shop cannot be rented out, so the money cannot be obtained.
Chen Fang was confused.
It's fun on the one hand, and money on the other.
Isn't it possible to have both at the same time?
Unless he treats every tenant with an extremely indifferent attitude and makes them feel fear, then there will be no trouble, but Chen Fang can't do this. He collects the rent himself, isn't it just for the purpose of reconciling with the tenants? Get together and pretend to be aggressive in front of them every day?
Thinking about it, Chen Fang sighed.
If I were an ordinary person, I could do that, but my identity is the only one in Nirvana City. It is shameless to say that who would not want to curry favor with him? There is a lot of trouble.
No one wants to be in trouble.
It’s no wonder that in reality and fiction, most landlords have an unfriendly attitude towards tenants, especially those landlords who have a lot of houses and are very rich, the attitude is even worse, in fact, it is to avoid trouble.
Forget it, the charterer is wrong.
After understanding all the reasons, Chen Fang became dull.
"Okay, since that's the case, I won't rent it anymore, thank you for telling me so seriously." Chen Fang thanked.
Employees waved their hands and said they were nothing more than duty-bound.
"Do well, I like you."
After Chen Fang finished speaking, he patted the employee on the shoulder and said.
Chen Fang then left.
Watching the back of Chen Fang leaving, the employee suddenly thought of something, and doubts appeared on his face.
"Strange, this person looks familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere..."
The staff recalled it carefully and remembered it.
"I'll go, that man seems to be a handsome guy, he's the only one in the whole city wearing this, why didn't I notice it earlier."
Finally remembering Chen Fang's identity, the staff panicked and subconsciously chased after him, but they failed to catch up and lost track of Chen Fang.
"Damn it, I didn't expect to meet the Marshal. I don't know if what I just said offended him."
The employee hurriedly recalled what he had said before, and confirmed again and again that he hadn't said anything bad, and that he was seeking truth from facts, so he felt relieved a little.
"By the way, hurry up and talk to the director."
The employees rushed to find the person in charge of the housing management office.
"My lord, I just received the Marshal."
Person in charge: "What, where is the commander in chief?"
Employee: "He's gone."
"What's the matter, handsome?"
"Ask him why no one rents out the shop."
Regarding this point, although Chen Fang didn't say anything before, the employee is not a fool. After he knew Chen Fang's identity, he knew why Chen Fang came here today.
The person in charge said nervously, "What did you say?"
"Whatever the handsome asks, I will tell the truth, like..."
The employee recounted the previous conversation with Chen Fang.
The person in charge listened carefully, and finally nodded, "Okay, very good, you said it was very good."
"In this way, I lack a capable assistant by my side, so you can do it."
The employee was surprised at first, and then extremely pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that he would be promoted and raised so easily.
And all of this was just because I had a conversation with the commander in chief.
