Chapter 9: Renting Warehouse
Assistant He handed her a file and said, "This is a list of things sold from two days ago. The money has been deposited into your account. The remaining unsold items are fixed assets. It may take several days or weeks to find a buyer and complete the procedures."
There are still three months until the typhoon hits their country. Since she still had time and money on hand, Yao Ran was not in a hurry and said, "All right. You can take care of them."
Assistant He nodded and said, "Then I will take my leave first."
After Assistant He left, a group of doctors came. Her attending doctor examined her for a while and reviewed yesterday's examination results.
After he was done, he smiled at Yao Ran and said, "Congratulations, Miss Yao. You can be discharged from the hospital today. I will prescribe some medicine for your wounds so that there will be no scars, and the nurse will assist you with the discharge procedures."
Yao Ran nodded and thanked the doctor. When the nurse came over with the discharge form, Yao Ran had already changed out of her hospital gown and packed her things. She took the form, paid the hospital fee, and left with a small backpack.
After leaving the hospital, Yao Ran took out her mobile phone and opened the messaging app. She opened a chat conversation with the real estate agent and sent him a message.
[Sir, have you found the warehouse?]
She waited for a while, and then the notification tone came. Yao Ran looked at her phone and saw a message from the real estate agent.
[Miss Yao, we have several warehouses that meet your requirements. When do you have time to take a look?]
Before accepting the goods from her Grandpa's friends, Yao Ran needs to prepare the warehouse. The matter was urgent, so she replied, [I can go now.]
The real estate agent was anxious to rent out the warehouse and replied within a few seconds, [Good. Then I will go to the office and wait for you.]
[Good.]
After making an appointment with the real estate agent, Yao Ran called a taxi using a taxi app and went to the agent's office. When she arrived forty minutes later, the agent was waiting for her. He saw her get out of the taxi and leave the office.
He held several documents in his hand, smiled at Yao Ran, and stretched out his hand, "Miss Yao?"
Yao Ran shook hands and said, "Yes."
The real estate agent had been working in this field for more than twenty years, and he knew at a glance that Yao Ran was not someone who could be easily fooled.
He smiled at her and said, "Miss Yao, we can go to the warehouse now."
Yao Ran agreed, "Alright."
The real estate agent then made an invitation gesture and said, "Let's drive my car to the warehouse and have a look. If you find something you like, we can come back and sign the contract."
Yao Ran didn't object, and the two walked to the parking lot. The real estate agent drove to the first warehouse and introduced five warehouses that met Yao Ran's requirements on the way.
Arriving at the first warehouse, Yao Ran looked around and found that in addition to the empty warehouses, there were many other warehouses with many people coming and going.
She plans to buy a lot of supplies that she will later need to put into the space. Therefore, a place where people come and go is not suitable for her needs.
"Sir, this place is not suitable for my needs." She said calmly to the real estate agent.
It's normal for clients to be picky, and most of the time, they won't be satisfied with the first building he introduces.
The real estate agent smiled and said, "No problem. There are four more warehouses that might fit your needs. Let's go and take a look."
After leaving the first warehouse, they headed to other warehouses. However, none of the four warehouses meet Yao Ran's needs.
They had spent two hours looking around the five warehouses under the scorching sun. The real estate agent wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and tried to persuade her.
"Miss Yao, all the warehouses I introduced to you today are located in prime locations with convenient transportation. If you miss them, it will be difficult to find a place with a better location than these warehouses."
Yao Ran thought for a while and asked, "Sir, do you have a large warehouse located in the suburbs with not many people around? I plan to open a supermarket and need to prepare a lot of things for the opening. We need to move a lot of stuff every day and night, which may affect other people's business."
The real estate agent's eyes lit up as he listened thoughtfully to her words. He smiled and said, "Miss Yao, there is indeed a place that meets your requirements."
"Good. Can we take a look now?"
"Sure."
After that, the two of them drove to the suburbs. Along the way, the real estate agent said, "The warehouse owner needs money urgently, and the monthly rent is very low. But no one wants it because of the location. If you like it, I will try my best to negotiate with the warehouse owner to give you a lower price."
Yao Ran nodded, "Then the negotiation for the price will be left to you."
The real estate agent patted his chest and confidently said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
After arriving at the warehouse, Yao Ran carefully checked the surroundings. There is only one warehouse there, and there are no other buildings. Despite the remote location, the roads are in good condition. This is precisely what Yao Ran wants.
She nodded with satisfaction and said, "Sir, I want this place. I will rent it for one month."
