This story is like an absurd drama, the proprietress of the steamed bun shop worked hard to steam the steamed buns, and the business was booming, but it turned out to be the source of "trouble". The second-hand landlord's eyes were red, the rent lion opened his mouth, and the price rose from 10,000 to 18,000, and he insisted on pulling out another 7,000 yuan from the fruits of the boss's wife's labor. The proprietress did not agree, and the next morning, the bun shop was looted, and it was cleaner than the locust crossing.

This reminds me of an economic phenomenon called "rent-seeking". Rent-seeking is not renting, it refers to the use of power or resources in one's hands to obtain additional economic benefits, and these benefits do not come from the creation of new value, but from the control and distribution of existing resources. The behavior of second-hand landlords has obvious rent-seeking colors. He did not make any contribution to the operation of the steamed bun shop, but with his control of the store, he wanted to sit back and enjoy the success, get a piece of the hard work of the proprietress, and even want to monopolize most of it.
At a deeper level, this reflects the problem of information asymmetry in the market economy. The proprietress may not have as good an understanding of the market, laws and regulations as the second-hand landlord, and is at a disadvantage in the negotiation. Second-hand landlords take advantage of this information asymmetry to maximize their own interests, even resorting to illegal means.
In a market economy, the spirit of contract is crucial. Oral agreements are less legally effective and prone to disputes. Both parties should sign a formal lease contract that clarifies key terms such as rent, lease term, and liability for breach of contract to avoid future ruffles.
The proprietress can also seek legal assistance to protect her rights and interests.
For example, you can apply to the court for property preservation to prevent the second-hand landlord from transferring property; It is also possible to file a lawsuit for damages.
This incident also exposed some problems in the rental management of commercial real estate in the city. Rent rises too fast will not only harm the interests of small and micro enterprises, but also affect the prosperity and stability of urban commerce.
Netizens broke the news: The address is in the steamed bun shop next to the west gate of Wuhan University of Light Industry.
The hostess's plight is sympathetic, but hopefully she won't be discouraged. Just like netizens said, making steamed buns pays attention to craftsmanship, as long as the craftsmanship is there, you are not afraid of running out of food. Hopefully, she will get out of her predicament as soon as possible, reopen her business, and continue to provide delicious buns to her neighbors. On the road of entrepreneurship, in addition to diligence and wisdom, we must also know how to protect our legitimate rights and interests and use legal weapons to protect our own interests. Don't let the shadow of "rent-seeking" obscure the sunshine of hard work and prosperity.
