Life is more than just living

On May Day, Beicheng Commercial City finally opened grandly. The opening of Beicheng Commercial City brought big business to Zhao Yuhan. In Cheng Qi's words, the good news does not go to outsiders.

On the opening day, Chen Xu also went there with her friends. As a Beicheng native, although she had not been to the Commercial City a few times, she still had some impressions: there were only four floors. It was originally a Beicheng joint store, and later it was modeled after Long. The city was named Commercial City, but I don’t know when it was acquired by Lin Zhiyuan. The renovated commercial city this time is full of new vitality. Guo Jian looked at the brand-new shopping mall and praised: "It seems that professional things have to be left to professional people. It is much better than when I was in charge." Lin. Zhiyuan glanced at him and said, "Don't be too modest. You have too many things to take care of and are too busy to handle. You are covered in iron. How many nails can you crush?"

Chen Xu followed everyone, and Han Yidao led everyone, introducing them as they walked. The first floor is still a traditional large supermarket, with two main categories:

On the left are daily necessities: toiletries, hygiene products, knitwear and kitchen supplies, as well as some small household appliances and electrical originals;

On the right is the food section: fruits and vegetables, beverages, snacks, meat, dairy products, grains and oils, etc.

The difference from before is that there are not as many product shelves as before. Shoppers feel less crowded and less depressed, and they feel much better during the purchasing process. Because of the good pre-opening publicity and the big opening bonus, there were still many customers and the place was bustling.

Coming to the second floor, there is a children's products mall, including clothes, toys, milk powder and even maternity and baby products. There is also an early education game area that has been opened up, and many parents bring their children to experience it here. The third floor is a children's playground, and the fourth floor is a food court selling various snacks and drinks. After going around, Chen Xu sat in the food court and ordered a drink. While drinking, he asked, is this the mall's own operation? Han Yidao shook his head, "No, these are run by small shopkeepers, but the mall takes 15% of the turnover." Everyone ordered drinks, and Han Yidao sat next to Chen Xu and asked in a low voice: "What do you think of this mall's business model? "Chen Xu told the truth: "I don't know much about business, I just think it's a bit strange. Aren't shopping malls in the past all department stores? They sold clothes and shoes, but now it looks like a supermarket plus a children's world and a snack street." Han Yidao Nodding, "I have been around Beicheng for several days before. I heard that there are less than 30 residents in Beicheng County, and the county's agricultural population is about [-]. Beicheng's economy is underdeveloped and its purchasing power is limited. However, there is a market for basic living needs. Yes, so supermarkets still have a lot to do. However, physical clothing stores are not very prosperous now. Young people give priority to online shopping, have purchasing power, and those who pursue quality either go directly to Longcheng or go to Mrs. Cheng’s store to buy. Director Cheng’s wife has a The "Quality Life" store has attracted all the powerful customers. Therefore, the traditional business model is no longer feasible. However, now basically every family has one child, and the children have nothing to suffer from. Children's products can still be sold. Yes, at present, this model is the most effective. I learned in the past few days that there is no large-scale children's paradise in Beicheng. There are only some children's amusement facilities in the park. It is cold in winter and hot in summer, and encounters extreme weather. There is no place for the children to play. Many parents will even take their children to play in Dragon City. This business model is the fastest way to achieve benefits I can think of. Let’s look at the present first! When this method doesn’t work in the future, think of other options. Find a way. I am eager to prove myself now and must see the benefits as soon as possible. I want your brother to see that I am still somewhat useful."

After hearing this, Chen Xu reached out and held Han Yidao, "I'm sorry, Han Yidao, it's all because of me." Han Yidao patted her hand, "Don't say that, I'm happy with it. Thank you, brothers and sisters, for giving me a chance. I used to When I was young, I was still very confident and felt that I could carve out my own world without relying on the Han family. But after I was blocked from starting a business, I discovered that making money is not as easy as I imagined, and it is really difficult to make a living without money. Chen Xu, you It’s really amazing. You grew up and graduated from college on your own. If it were me, it’s hard to say whether I could do it.”

In the month after the opening, Han Yidao was basically in Beicheng. Later, when the mall was completely on track, he traveled to two places. In the summer, he came to bring Chen Xu news that surprised Chen Xu. Because Chen Xu's social circle is relatively narrow, she doesn't pay much attention to some things. She is in Longcheng, and the news in Longcheng was actually told to her by Han Yidao, an outsider. It turns out that there is a normal college in Longcheng. After years of preparations for expansion, and after passing the application, it has been approved by the Ministry of Education to be upgraded to an undergraduate college and renamed Longcheng University. For Chen Xu, who has graduated from school, this does not seem to be big news, but the news is that Meng Fanyi will serve as the first president of Longcheng University.

Chen Xu was speechless for a long time. This matter might have nothing to do with her. She could have just listened to it as news, but she was always a little uneasy in her heart. Although this Meng Fanyi did not feel too sorry for her, and did not attack and insult her with fierce words like Li Lanfeng and Li Zhilan, Chen Xu still felt a little awkward in his heart. In short, he was not a person who was kind to him.

Every time Han Yidao came to Longcheng, he would go to Chen Xu's house to have dinner together, and then go to live in another unit. One Sunday morning, Han Yidao said he was going to Beicheng. Chen Xu said to Lin Zhiyuan: "Brother, I want to take his car back to see my grandma." Lin Zhiyuan nodded, and he told Han Yidao: "Longcheng and Beicheng are the two cities. This place is not very peaceful, especially Chen Xu, who may be implicated by me, so you must pay special attention to her safety and deliver her safely. In the evening, if you don't come back, I will have someone pick her up. "Han Yidao nodded repeatedly, brother, don't worry.

On the way to Beicheng, Han Yidao asked Chen Xu to drive and sit next to him. Chen Xu said sincerely: "If it weren't for these two brothers who forced me to learn to drive, I might not have been able to escape quickly when I was kidnapped. But I clearly said that I I want to buy a car, but my eldest brother doesn’t agree and insists on giving me such a nice car. It would be very ostentatious for me to drive such a car to work, and my eldest brother doesn’t let me drive to work alone and has to send someone to escort me, so I’ve become lazy recently. ." Han Yidao said to her: "It's always good to learn more skills. You can drive when you have the opportunity in the future. You don't need to drive at ordinary times. You only need to be able to drive at critical moments." Chen Xu still drove slowly but steadily. Han Yidao saw that Chen Xu drove the car directly to the Commercial City. He was puzzled and said, "You don't have to give it to me. I'll just drop you off at home and drive back."

Chen Xu smiled, "I haven't seen my grandma for a few days. I think she has finished eating everything. I will buy some food for her to take back. Don't let the money go to other people's fields. You must take care of your own business!" Chen Xu finished. I couldn't help but laugh. Was I too deeply influenced by Cheng Qi?
