Two suggestions:

1. Talk to the boss about rent reduction.

The first is attitude. When you speak, you should grasp the scale. Don't use the state's encouragement policy to ask the landlord to reduce rent. Remember, you and the landlord have the same interests. You can't continue to rent his house until your business is done. So pull the landlord into the same camp and let him know that you really have no choice but to talk to him about rent reduction. But if business can continue, we won't talk about it. Play an emotional card first.

Secondly, in the rent reduction scheme, don't cut rent for three months without opening your mouth. If it goes too far, the landlord will think that the tenant is unreasonable. Your rent has been paid and the landlord can't pay it back to you. So for you, you can only strive for future benefits and reduce future expenses. Therefore, there are two options for you to choose from:

A, ask the landlord to help you reduce the rent 1-2 months (you can talk about the specific time yourself), and renew the rent at the market price next year;

B, there is no need to reduce the rent, to ensure that the rent will not rise next year. This scheme seems to have no benefits, but it is actually the optimal solution. The landlord got a stable and reasonable tenant, and you also got a guarantee that the landlord would not increase the rent. Remember to sign an agreement or keep a chat record. After all, the landlord will increase the rent at will, and it will definitely exceed the rent that you have been exempted for one or two months within one year.

2. Try to do online promotion and do a wave of online pre-sales.

Whatever you do, you can try. After all, you are idle at home. Now everyone is shut up at home, which is boring. You can do a wave of pre-sales promotion on WeChat every day, make the poster attractive, match it with good copy, record some small videos to promote your products first, and strive to earn the rent back first.

I hope the epidemic will pass as soon as possible.
