Reborn as a landlord in Shanghai

After that, Mao Xiaoyu's bed rental business improved. On the first day, because she rented out the beds late, she only rented 4 beds and earned 240 yuan. However, on the second day, after 12 beds arrived, and because Mao Xiaoyu went to recruit people at noon, her income on the second day jumped to 660 yuan.

On the third day, the income rose to 750, and on the fourth day, it reached 720. As for the income on the fifth day, it was the highest of all, with a total of 2300 in cash. This included the He family paying 10 days' rent upfront because the child was confirmed to be able to have surgery, and several other tenants who wanted to rent regularly also paid for a few more days' rent, which resulted in the cash received of 2300 yuan that day.

Of course, although she received more money that day, several beds were also rented out, which meant that she had overdrawn her rent collection for the following days. This resulted in her only receiving 560 yuan in cash on the 6th day. However, even so, Mao Xiaoyu was very satisfied with the money she had earned in the past few days.

After all, I've already earned 5000 yuan in these 6 days. Adding the 1000 yuan in the bank, it means that I can almost pay the rent from the real estate agency.

If there's anything I've been worried about these past six days, it's that the storefront hasn't called. I don't know if no one saw the job posting on the storefront or if nobody cares about the job information.

Mao Xiaoyu wanted to go and take a look, but since the house was only for rent, there were odds and ends that needed to be bought. She didn't usually care, but things were always missing. So every day, the tenants would cause trouble, so Mao Xiaoyu could only stay at the hospital, taking care of small things and earning money at the same time.

Today is April 27th, the 7th day. After getting up early and having breakfast, Mao Xiaoyu did not go directly to the hospital or the house, but went directly to the housing management bureau to ask if her property ownership certificate had been issued.

Although the housing authority said it would usually take about 10 days to process the property certificate, and at the earliest 7 days, today is the 7th day. Even if Mao Xiaoyu comes to the housing authority, she may not be able to get the property certificate and may have made a wasted trip. However, Mao Xiaoyu still couldn't help but come to ask.

After all, Mao Xiaoyu also knew which side was less important and which was more important when it came to making money!

Although the hospital is a lucrative business, the most important thing right now is to get the property certificate, then use it as collateral to buy a property in preparation for the upcoming demolition and relocation.

Therefore, even though the housing authority said it would take at least 7 days to get the property certificate, and it would be best to come back in 10 days, Mao Xiaoyu still wanted to go to the housing authority on the 7th day to ask if her property certificate had been issued yet. As for doing this, her main intention was to try her luck. In Mao Xiaoyu's view, if she was lucky and the property certificate came out on the 7th day, wouldn't that give her three more days to process the loan application?

So after leaving home, Mao Xiaoyu rushed to the housing management bureau. When the bureau opened, Mao Xiaoyu took her ID card and consulted several windows. Finally, she was told that the property certificate had not yet been issued and the staff told her to wait two more days and come back.

Hearing this answer, Mao Xiaoyu was still disappointed, even though she knew this was the most likely outcome before coming. However, she thanked the staff who helped her and then left the housing management bureau with a sense of helplessness.

After leaving the housing management bureau, Mao Xiaoyu composed herself, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go and take a look at the storefronts.

After all, she had been busy making money these past few days. In addition, since it was a newly opened rental property, many odds and ends had not been provided. Therefore, Mao Xiaoyu had to do various odds and ends every day. However, now that six days had passed, the rental property had become more organized. As long as Mao Xiaoyu went there at 12 o'clock every day to check with the tenants who wanted to rent the property, and then spent six hours in the afternoon looking for tenants, by 7 pm, the day's work was almost done.

So this morning, Mao Xiaoyu checked the current events and decided to spend two or three hours cleaning the tables and chairs at the storefront and posting more job advertisements. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if she didn't have a single employee when it was time to pay the rent at the beginning of the month.

Furthermore, if she has time today, Mao Xiaoyu also plans to find an agency to process the business license for the intermediary company. Although it may cost more money to use an agency, Mao Xiaoyu herself does not have time to process the license.

After inquiring over the past few days, Mao Xiaoyu learned that it would cost more than 1000 yuan to process a business license through an agency. If she were to do it herself, it would only cost a few hundred yuan, but it would take her a long time, more than ten days or half a month. If she handed it over to an agency, the business license would be issued in a maximum of 10 days.

Mao Xiaoyu thought that she could earn six or seven hundred yuan a day by renting a house near the hospital, and she could earn more than 1000 yuan in just two days. She thought that if she wasted her time on registering a business license, she would lose too much money both ways.

So, from an economic perspective, it's more cost-effective to hire an agency to help me get my business license. Therefore, I might as well let an agency handle it. That's why Mao Xiaoyu decided to find an agency these next couple of mornings to get the business license sorted out.

So, Mao Xiaoyu rode her electric bike to the storefront, parked it on the side of the road, bought a broom and dustpan from the store next door, opened her storefront, and started cleaning.

…………

"Excuse me, sir, are you hiring real estate agents?"

Just as Mao Xiaoyu was engrossed in her work, sweeping the floor and wiping the table, she suddenly heard what sounded like a woman's voice talking to her. This made Mao Xiaoyu look up and head towards the door.

Wow, this girl is really pretty!

When Mao Xiaoyu looked up, her eyes lit up when she saw the woman standing at the door. She hadn't expected the woman who asked her question to be so beautiful.

"Yes, we're looking for employment agents here. Are you interested in applying?" Mao Xiaoyu quickly stood up and asked the woman with a smile.

There was nothing I could do; the woman standing at the door was really beautiful. She looked to be about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a work uniform, and had a sweet and charming appearance.

She doesn't look too old, probably around 20 years old. As for which celebrity she resembles, Mao Xiaoyu can't tell.

After all, every woman's beauty is different, but if Mao Xiaoyu were to praise someone, it would be that they are too beautiful.

…………

Guo Xiaoyan, a native of Yanshi, Jiangsu Province, was admitted to university after graduating from high school at the age of 18. However, because her family could not afford the tuition fees and she had many siblings, Guo Xiaoyan, as the eldest child, had to give up her studies and come to Shanghai to work with her relatives.

When Guo Xiaoyan first came to Shanghai, she worked as a waitress, a sales clerk, and a salesperson. However, because of her outstanding appearance, she didn't stay in any of these jobs for very long. Eventually, she left for various reasons and then changed jobs until she became a real estate salesperson, where she gradually settled down.

Guo Xiaoyan has been working in the real estate brokerage industry for a year, and has gone from a novice to a veteran employee. Because of her good looks and the high commissions in the industry, she has earned a considerable amount of money over time. This has given Guo Xiaoyan more to think about.

After all, buying and selling houses and being a real estate agent can be very lucrative. In addition, working for others will always make you an employee. Only by working for yourself can you truly make money. Therefore, Guo Xiaoyan has been thinking about whether she should start her own business recently.

It just so happens that Guo Xiaoyan's house is not far from Mao Xiaoyu's storefront, and she has to walk through here every day to and from get off work. Originally, Guo Xiaoyan didn't have much interest in this storefront, since the location wasn't very good. However, after seeing the real estate agency job posting that Mao Xiaoyu had put up, Guo Xiaoyan had a slight idea.

It was because of this thought that Guo Xiaoyan came up to inquire when she saw Mao Xiaoyu open the shop today.

…………

Guo Xiaoyan frowned as she looked at Mao Xiaoyu who had stood up. After all, Mao Xiaoyu looked too young, as if she had just entered the workforce. Someone her age couldn't possibly be the owner of a real estate agency. If she was an employee, then it wouldn't be easy to have a conversation with her.

"Hello, is your boss here? I'd like to talk to him." Guo Xiaoyan asked in a low voice.

"Come on, sit down and let's talk. I'm the boss of this company. If you want to apply, you can tell me. Of course, if you feel I'm too young and worried that you can't afford to pay me, don't worry about that. I'm a local from Shanghai, and my family is financially well-off. Paying a salary of tens of thousands of yuan is no problem. So if you have anything you want to say to me, you can sit down and talk. After all, there's no harm in talking, and it might even be an opportunity, right?"

Mao Xiaoyu noticed the other person's frown and, upon hearing that the other person wanted to talk to the boss, guessed that the other person probably thought she was too young and didn't think much of her. To give the other person confidence and to gain their approval as the boss, she warmly invited the other person to sit down.

Upon hearing this, Guo Xiaoyan realized that the person in front of her was actually the owner of the store. Although Guo Xiaoyan knew that appearances can be deceiving, seeing Mao Xiaoyu's youthful appearance, she couldn't help but wonder if Mao Xiaoyu could run a company well.

After all, Mao Xiaoyu looked too young, but she was right about one thing: there was no harm in talking to them. She had more than an hour before her work start time, so she could talk to them and see what this so-called agency was really like.

So Guo Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment, then thanked her and sat down. She then said, "I saw the job posting on your door these past few days. It said your shop is hiring agents, no age or gender restrictions, minimum salary of 1500, commission based on industry standards, salary is deducted for each month worked, no meals or accommodation provided, is that right?"

"That's right. If you do well, the company can also provide social security after a year. As for how much an employee can earn each month, that depends on their ability. You know, the real estate brokerage industry is all about ability. If you sell more houses and rent more, you'll earn more money. If you sell fewer houses and rent less, you'll earn less. As a boss, I can't take money out of my own pocket to pay my employees more. In the end, it depends on the employees' efforts." Mao Xiaoyu nodded readily and said.

"But I see you don't even have a storefront, and the shop isn't open yet. How can you guarantee you'll make money every month? What if you can't stay open for more than a few months, and you have to close down because you can't pay wages?" Guo Xiaoyan asked the question that had been on her mind.

"As you can see, I just rented this shop, which means it definitely won't be closing down anytime soon. As for how I can guarantee that I'll make money, I can't guarantee that. After all, as an intermediary, it's up to you to bring in business. I can only guarantee that I'll pay you your wages on time every month, and I won't delay paying a single penny."

As for whether I have the ability to pay your salaries, please rest assured. My family may not be able to say much, but we still have several million in assets. Even if you only earn 5000 yuan a month, and you work for three or four months and feel that my store is not doing well, and you want to leave, your salary will only be 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. This amount is small, and I can afford it.

If you don't believe me, once you join the company, I can take you to my home to see my family's assets or show you the money in my bank account. Then you'll be at ease, because I'm here to start a business, not to scam people.

Fearing that the other party would look down on her age, Mao Xiaoyu had no choice but to offer her family's assets as a token of respect. After all, Mao Xiaoyu was too young, and it would be shameful to work for someone so young if she didn't get paid. Therefore, Mao Xiaoyu decided to give the other party more confidence.

"So, what are your requirements for the applicants?" Guo Xiaoyan asked in return.

"As you can see, I have nothing here. What requirements can I have for the job applicants? As long as they are agents and have a decent personality, I will accept them. Of course, if they have poor character, I will fire them after a while if I can tell."

"You happen to be the first person to apply. If you want to be the store manager, that's fine too. If you don't want to be, that's okay too; you can be an employee. Of course, it would be even better if you could bring two more people with you, since a store like this needs at least three to five people to function properly."

Seeing that the other person was beautiful, Mao Xiaoyu immediately lowered her income standards. After all, opening this store was also to prepare for her future home purchase.

Moreover, this store definitely needs to hire a store manager. Otherwise, if I always show up in person, the people selling houses will know what's going on as soon as they see me, and then how could they possibly sell the house to me?

More importantly, the other party is a beautiful woman. After all, when he becomes rich, he can't be without beautiful women around him. Therefore, Mao Xiaoyu was determined not to let such a beautiful woman apply for the job, which is why she offered such favorable terms.
