Chapter 380 Desperation (Eight)

• "Sounds like a solid plan. Why not give it a shot?" Madison Sawyer quickly agreed.
• "Starting a business isn't as simple as it seems. If it were, everyone would be doing it, and who would bother selling vegetables at the market? It requires capital. Firstly, you need to secure a prime location for the store, ideally in a residential area with high foot traffic and potential customers. Secondly, the store should be spacious. Unlike the market stalls, you can't just stack vegetables haphazardly. To attract customers and keep them coming back, you need a wide variety of products. If they can't find what they need at your store, they won't bother looking elsewhere. Therefore, the store must be sizable. Thirdly, you need to focus on the aesthetics. The environment should be inviting, not necessarily extravagant, but clean and comfortable. To sum it up, you need a large storefront in a bustling area, which requires a substantial investment. Even in a place like Millsborough, renting a small store and making necessary renovations would cost a significant amount."
• "I've looked into these aspects in my spare time. Firstly, there's the transfer fee. A prime storefront transfer fee is at least 150,000. Of course, I wouldn't settle for a subpar location. Secondly, in this vicinity near the vegetable market, the rent is around 300 yuan per square meter. This means I'd need to rent at least 40 square meters, totaling 12,000 yuan per month. Rent is typically paid every six months, so that's 60-70,000. Additionally, there's the cost of decoration. Even with a modest setup, I estimate I'd need 20-30,000. Then there are expenses like business licenses, taxes, and other necessities. Overall, I'd require around 300,000. Where do you expect me to come up with that amount? I still owe you a significant sum. I used to consider this idea, but now it seems unattainable due to financial constraints." Chadwick Fullner shook his head.
