C15 Rent a Restaurant

The next morning at three o'clock, Zhang Han was awakened by a knock on the door.

"What’s going on?"

Zhang Han opened his eyes in a daze with a slight frown. He got up and opened the door. The one standing in front of the door was Manager Ma, who had come yesterday in the first wave.

With two dark circles under his eyes, he said in an apologetic tone, "Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry for disturbing your rest. Can I … can I invite you out to the sauna for a chat?"

"No." Zhang Han didn’t have enough sleeping time yet, so he decided to close the door and go back to sleep.

Manager Ma's face was anxious: "Mr. Zhang, please give me a second chance. I've been outside your door all night. Even though you go back to sleep now, others will come and disturb you later. You might as well come with me. I guarantee that you will get the best rest."

Zhang Han raised his eyebrows.

They all said that the early bird would have worms to eat, but this guy was even more like a bird that had waited patiently all night.

"Wait a moment."

Zhang Han touched his face and went to change his clothes even without closing the door. Seeing this, Manager Ma heaved a sigh of relief.

Five minutes later, Zhang Han and he went downstairs to a nearby high-end sauna to rest.

As soon as they left, not more than twenty minutes later, another manager arrived. It's just that the later ones are destined to get nothing.

He slept until around 8 in the morning, and after waking up, Manager Ma treated him to breakfast. Then Manager Ma took Zhang Han to the main company and was led by the regional manager to the stock exchange to sign the contract.

At noon, all the necessary procedures were completed.

Zhang Han also had 18 million yuan in his bank account. He called Liu Meng and asked for his bank card number to transfer 2 million.

It was the afternoon after he finished these.

There were still 17 million and 600 thousand left in the bank card；and there would be 7 million and 600 thousand after removing ten million of the rent.

Seven million and six hundred thousand may seem like a lot, but there wasn't much that could be done.

At one o'clock, Zhang Han drove the Jeep Wrangler around the New Moon Mountain area a few times.

Now that there was going to be a result for the matter of renting a mountain, the next thing to do was to find a place to temporarily settle down.

Although there was a pool of spiritual water within the New Moon Mountain, the effect of the spiritual water was nothing more than to turn the New Moon Mountain lands into spiritual soil, and not all of them could evolve into Pure Yang Water, to say nothing of providing energy for all projects to be revamped.

Thus, the transformation of New Moon Mountain would still go according to the original plan. First, he would deal with the rear mountain area, and the residential areas and the front mountain area could only slowly improve.

"And I need to rent a house."

Zhang Han pondered for a moment, then took out his cell phone and dialed Manager Ma's cell phone.

Hearing that Zhang Han wanted to rent a house, Manager Ma was very enthusiastic. In the transaction of his house, Manager Ma got a million yuan, so his enthusiasm was reasonable.

He asked Zhang Han to the company and have a look at the photos of the house first, promising Zhang that he would not charge a fee this time to indirectly express his gratitude.

Zhang Han didn't say anything and just drove to his company. It was a small city with a back street and a total of twelve employees.

Manager Ma was standing at the door. When he saw Zhang Han, he greeted him enthusiastically.

"Welcome, Mr. Zhang. Come in, please."

After walking into the room and sitting on the sofa, Manager Ma took out a box of mint flavored cigarette called Zhongnanhai which was worthy of 20 yuan. Then he offered one to Zhang Han and helped him light it. After lighting one for himself, he asked with a smile.

"What kind of house does Mr. Zhang want to rent?"

"The house in New Moon Bay; a house there in good condition." Zhang Han replied.

"in good condition?" Manager Ma pondered for a moment and said, "There are villas in New Moon Bay that are slightly better, with a rent of about 4 million RMB a year; there is also a kind of rental apartments in a scenic building, and the price for the department will be more than 1.5 million RMB a year if it’s over 100 square meters. As for the other small houses and apartments, I don't think Mr. Zhang is interested in them either."

"Well, are there any pictures?" Zhang Han asked.

"Yes, there are. Mr. Zhang, follow me."

Hearing this, Manager Ma stood up and brought Zhang Han to his computer table. Manager Ma searched the housing estate of the New Moon Bay on the agency's system.

He looked around from the villa to the various family house.

The decorations were even more varied. Some were European and American, some were modern, but very few of them could catch Zhang Han's eye.

"Where is this villa?" Zhang Han pointed at a message and said.

This villa was the only one that caught Zhang Han's eye. It was not decorated in any ostentatious fashion. White, blue, and green and grass intertwined with each other in the house, giving it a refreshing feeling that was close to nature.

However, its rental price was also a bit expensive. He had to rent it at four million five hundred thousand yuan a year.

"This villa is on Yongxing Road, which is in the middle of the New Moon Bay and the bamboo pit area." Manager Ma nodded and said.

"It's a little far …" Zhang Han frowned.

The ideal place in his heart was near New Moon Mountain. That way, it would be more convenient for him to take care of the mountain at any time, or it would be more troublesome to go back and forth if he lived far.

"Far?" Manager Ma was slightly surprised and asked, "Mr. Zhang, which area do you want to rent?"

"It would be better to near to New Moon Mountain." Zhang Han replied.

"On the other side of the New Moon Mountain …" Manager Ma pondered. She searched the system for a few streets, but there was no suitable house.

"Does Mr. Zhang live alone?" Without a room source, Manager Ma was a bit depressed. He was thinking of a way to help Zhang Han while chatting with him.

"My daughter and I will live there temporarily. The main purpose is to prepare delicious food for her." Zhang Han couldn't help but smile as that cute little figure of Mengmeng floated across his mind.

"Cooking?" Manager Ma's eyes lit up, "I think there's a way. With your unique thought towards the decorations, Mr. Zhang, I think you can rent a small market room. You also can deal with the market room after it expires."

"Market room?" Zhang Han narrowed his eyes.

Open a restaurant?

It was also possible. Mengmeng was only three years old and ate little. He could sell the extra food from every meal. And, more importantly, he can change the decoration if he wasn't satisfied with it.

Zhang Han cared a lot about this. He would never let himself be wronged in the pursuit of the life quality when he was alone, not to mention the situation that he had Mengmeng. He couldn't let little princess feel wronged!

Zhang Han nodded and said:

"That's fine. Do you have any photos to take a look?"

"Yes." Manager Ma laughed and searched the houses near New Moon Mountain.

At the beginning, they were searching for 60-70 square meters of small market buildings. From Manager Ma's point of view, those were big enough for Zhang Han and his daughter to live in.

But Zhang Han kept shaking his head. "Those were too small. Let's look at the bigger ones."

Manager Ma searched some bigger ones. Finally, after looking at more than twenty houses, he finally saw the house Zhang Han nodded.

The first floor is the breakfast shop, and the second floor is the house owned by an elderly couple. It’s the closest house to New Moon Mountain, and I've been there twice a few days ago. Their business is not bad. If the old couple hadn't had grandchildren they needed to take care of, they wouldn't have given up it. "

Manager Ma introduced the picture as he clicked on it and said:

"The first floor is relatively simple, one hundred and thirty square meters, with only the breakfast counter and a few tables and chairs. The second floor is the main house with a family style, and it is pretty well decorated. It's the structure of two rooms and one hall, at the south side, and also in good condition of lighting. Above all, there is a lot of room for you to make a change.

Looking at the photos, Zhang Han finally nodded his head in satisfaction and said:

"That's okay."

"Is Mr. Zhang satisfied with the price of this suite? It's four million dollars, including a year and three months of rent, and I think I can bargain with them. " Manager Ma said with a smile.

"No need to bargain." Zhang Han shook his head slightly.

"Okay, then I'll take you to see for yourself."

Manager Ma smiled, stood up and led Zhang Han out. He was driving a black Honda Accord.

In Xiangjiang, those who owned private cars usually lived a good life. The cars were not expensive, and were much cheaper than those in the mainland. After all, there was no need to pay tax money in Xiangjiang. But having a car was much more expensive, as the cost of oil was high, and there were also the parking fees and some other kind of fees. A professional calculated that having a car a month would be at least 5000 yuan, so 60,000 yuan a year, which was also a lot of money.

With Manager Ma in the lead, the two of them arrived at the restaurant on Dawn Road.

Manager Ma had contacted them on the way here; when they entered the house, a couple in their fifties were chatting in the living room.

When the couple saw the two men coming, they made a greeting and showed Zhang Han around the house. The upstairs layout was also not bad. There wasn't much furniture as it had all been cleaned out. The whole house was very clean, the table and other supplies on the first floor which were in the scope of the remittance were all left.

One hundred and thirty square meters. A hall was originally huge, but with two slabs of wall to make a kitchen, it didn't look that big anymore.

The layout was good, and there was room for improvement. Thus, Zhang Han immediately made a decision. Manager Ma had signed an exchange contract with both parties. From now on, this restaurant belonged to Zhang Han for more than a year.

After the old couple left, Manager Ma and Zhang Han sat in chairs in the hall.

"I'll transfer the intermediary fee to you as well."

Zhang Han said, but Ma shook his head and refused:

"Mr. Zhang, I'm very grateful that you chose me to sell your house before, so there's no need to mention the intermediary fee."

Hearing this, Zhang Han shook his head with a faint smile and asked, "Do you know any decoration companies?"

"Yes, need I help you contact him now?" Manager Ma answered.

"Yes."

Then Manager Ma directly called a decoration company. In less than half an hour, two men in suits knocked on the door and walked in.

One was a middle-aged man with a square face, the other was a young man in glasses at the age of twenty-four or five.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. I am the manager of Blue Road Decoration Company, Zhao Kai." The middle-aged man greeted with a smile.

Looking around the house, he felt that the decorations were only finished few years ago and it had been maintained pretty well. He felt that Zhang Han might want to refurbish or make minor alterations to the house. Therefore, Zhao Kai asked,

"How does Mr. Zhang want to reform it? Do you want to renovate on the original foundation or do you want to change the place that you don't like? "

However, Zhang Han's answer left him dumbfounded.

"Remove and redecorate."

"Huh?"

Besides Manager Ma, Zhao Kai and the young man were stunned.

"Remove the first floor and redecorate it. And renovate the second floor in its original layout." Zhang Han added.

What a big gift!

Zhao Kai's eyes lit up and he quickly asked,

"Does Mr. Chang want the turnkey or half contraction?"

Turnkey was referred to the decoration that included all the labors and materials, and the price was relatively high. Half contraction was just responsible for the labors and some supplementary materials, while Zhang Han was mainly in charge of the floor, wall, board and other main materials.
