The Pentium Era - South to North

After leaving the Hilton Hotel, Zhang Chen was going to go to the Huaihai Road store first. From here to their store, there was only a little way. Zhang Chen told Erhuo to park the car here and drive it later. In front of the store. Not easy to park.

"You're forced to park here, it's twenty yuan an hour." The idiot scolded.

"What should we do? You put the car in your pocket?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Get in the car. Let's just come in now. You don't have to pay. I'll take you to the door of the store. There are ten yuan ones over there." The second-hand guy shouted.

Zhang Chen didn't bother to chat with him, so he got in the car. The second guy drove the car to the door of the store, put him down, and left. He didn't know where he parked.

Standing on the sidewalk, Zhang Chen did not rush into the store. Instead, he crossed Huaihai Road and walked to the opposite side. He stood at the door of the Esprit store and looked towards his own store. More impressive and eye-catching.

Boss Ding did a good job. Zhang Chen was originally worried that there would be differences between the upper and lower parts due to different construction times. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be so seamless that it was impossible to tell that it was constructed in two parts.

Zhang Chen looked carefully and found that the people walking on the sidewalk here would naturally look to the opposite side, and some were slapping their companions and trying to go that way.

In front of the store, there were several groups of people taking photos, which attracted more people's attention.

Zhang Chen nodded secretly, expressing satisfaction with the overall decoration effect.

Zhang Chen walked across the road and entered the store. Immediately, a salesperson came over and said to Zhang Chen, boss, our store is too big now.

Zhang Chen was also surprised that the third floor above was added. Why did the first floor also feel bigger?

He looked around and understood. It turned out that there was an area on the first floor. At that time, according to the rental agreement, it was set aside to continue selling underwear to Chaoyang Underwear Factory. Now even Chaoyang Underwear Factory no longer exists. This area has naturally been withdrawn by Xiaomi. It fell down, so the business area on the first floor has really become larger.

Zhang Chen heard that the salesperson's tone was excited, so Zhang Chen asked: "Is it good?"

"Okay, okay, of course!" Seeing Zhang Chen going upstairs, the salesperson said to him as if he was afraid that he wouldn't know, "Boss, Manager Mi is on the third floor now."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, OK, thank you!

Zhang Chen arrived at the second floor. The second floor here is the same as the Yan'an Road store in Hangzhou. The office has also been moved to the third floor. The entire second floor has been turned into a business place. It feels bigger again. Zhang Chen walked around on the second floor. After looking around, especially at the connection between the top and the third floor, Zhang Chen asked the salesperson on the second floor if there was any leakage or water seepage.

The salesperson said no.

Zhang Chen continued to go up to the third floor. The roof of the third floor uses a lot of open tiles, and the light is particularly good. The open tiles are made of frosted glass, which is transparent but does not allow direct sunlight. VIPs on the third floor In this area, a small indoor garden was created. The entire roof of the garden is made of frosted glass.

Zhang Chen did not go to Xiaomi's office, but took a look outside first.

He saw tables and chairs arranged around the garden. This was a place for their VIP customers to drink tea, coffee and chat. "Do you want tea or coffee?" Zhang Chen thought to himself, their customers brought their friends here. , and probably would ask her friends the same thing.

The reason why Zhang Chen and others especially welcome VIPs to bring their friends is because people are divided into groups. Many VIP friends will become their VIPs after coming here. This is Tan Shuzhen's experience.

There was a small bar on the edge of the garden. When the waiter saw Zhang Chen, he asked him, boss, what do you want to drink?

Zhang Chen quickly said no, I'll just take a look.

Around the house, there are hangers fixed on the wall. The hangers are full of clothes. These are for VIP customers to stand up and try on while drinking tea and chatting.

There were seven or eight people milling around here, and Zhang Chen knew that they should all be their VIPs.

Zhang Chen arrived at Xiaomi's office and was surprised to find that the second-hand guy was already here. Zhang Chen asked, "Why are you so fast?"

"You're asking me, didn't I put you down at the door? Why did you arrive just now? Are you afraid of dirtying our own bathroom and running to someone else's place?" Erhuo asked back.

Xiaomi chuckled.

Zhang Chen asked Xiaomi how he was doing, and Xiaomi said that he was struggling now. He used to run to the second floor, but now he has to run to the third floor.

Xiaomi's words may sound like he is complaining, but he is actually happy.

"No water leakage or water seepage was found on the third floor?"

Zhang Chen still asked this question. This is the most common problem in houses with additional floors.

Xiaomi said no.

No response from Xujiahui Road?

Xiaomi said no.

"Okay, then I'll pay for the renovation. If there's anything that needs repairing, just call Boss Ding and he'll come back," Zhang Chen said.

Xiaomi said yes, Manager Ding has already told me.

Zhang Chen called Zhao Jingjing and asked her to pay for the renovation in Shanghai.

"Have all the stores on Xujiahui Road been rented out?" Zhang Chen asked Xiaomi after making the call.

"It's rented out."

Xiaomi said, looking at the second-rate guy, who shook his head at Xiaomi. Zhang Chen noticed it and asked, have you done something wrong?

The idiot chuckled, seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to say: "It's not a ghost, it's just a tenant you know."

"Who?"

"The Emperor's Black Forest Cake Shop."

"Ah!" Zhang Chen was surprised. He looked at Xiaomi, and the second-rate guy quickly said, "It's not my fault, Manager Mi. I didn't let her say it."

Zhang Chen looked at the second guy, who said:

"It's not my fault. It's the emperor and my uncle Tan who didn't let me tell you. The emperor said that if you knew, you would definitely refuse to charge the rent. He and Wang Minsheng both visited it and thought the place was really good, so they Let us give him priority in renting, and he will pay as much as others rent."

"When did it happen?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Just the last time you went back, Your Majesty and the others just came from Taiwan. They mentioned it during dinner that my Uncle Tan called me over the next day. In fact, Your Majesty and the others have been looking for a store in that area. I heard that we bought one. We have already decided to rent it there, but the Emperor knows that he cannot tell you. If I tell you, I will force you to become a mother-in-law again. "

Zhang Chen sighed quietly, but his face looked a little ugly.

Erhuo said: "Instructor, I think the emperor is right to do this. Otherwise, every time people see you, they will feel that they owe you something. Wouldn't that be very uncomfortable?"

Zhang Chen thought for a while and felt that what he said was right. If it were him, he would also feel awkward. Zhang Chen's expression softened and he said okay, you are right.

The second-rate guy chuckled and said, "It makes sense, doesn't it?" If it makes sense, then I'll tell you one more thing.

Zhang Chen looked at him and said, "Actually, the emperor is also interested in our glass house in Hangzhou, and he doesn't dare to tell you that he wants to use it to try to make some pearl milk tea. He said it is very popular in Taiwan." , it’s not available here in mainland China yet.”

"What?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I don't know, he just mentioned such a name." Erhuo said, "He also said that it would be most suitable to sell this thing in that glass house. Our place is opposite the department store. It’s the International Building, not far from Hangcheng Tower and Wulin Square. Those who are tired from shopping in shopping malls and Wulin Square can just go and sit there.”

Zhang Chen thought for a moment, then called Xiaojuan and asked her, how much rent would they pay for people who want to rent our glass house?

Xiaojuan told him that the higher one would pay 150,000 yuan and the lowest one would pay 120,000 yuan.

Zhang Chen and Xiaojuan said: "You call Han Emperor Liu Bang and ask him if he wants to rent for 80,000 yuan. Don't say that Xiao Zhao and I asked you to ask him. Just say that someone came to rent for 80,000 yuan. You I thought it was a good place to sell cakes, so I called him and told him that you are in charge of who rents the house to, and Xiao Zhao and I don't care."

Xiaojuan said yes, I will call Brother Liu immediately.

Zhang Chen stood up and said to Erhuo, "Let's go to Jiande Road and visit Lao Wan's place."

"Okay, instructor, you come down in ten minutes and I'll drive." The second-rate guy said and ran out.

Xiaomi and Zhang Chen said: "It's okay, Mr. Zhang, Brother Liu and their cake shop are doing very well. Now in Shanghai, many people have to buy their Black Forest cakes for their birthdays. The little rent doesn't put any pressure on them." .”

Zhang Chen nodded.

…

Zhang Chen and the second guy arrived at the old church on Jiande Road. Lao Wan had already led more than a dozen people to work here. They separated the row of houses where Factory Director Cao and his colleagues used to work, and separated the people inside the church. The workshop was used as an office.

Zhang Chen shouted: "Not bad, Lao Wan, you have gathered your team so quickly."

Lao Wan smiled and said: "They are all our fellow villagers. There are many of our fellow villagers in Shanghai. They come as soon as we call them."

"There are many of our fellow villagers in Shanghai who are forced to live in poverty. Do you still want more people and want me to call them over?" Erhuo said.

"You don't need it now. When work starts over there, you can call for me." Lao Wan said.

Zhang Chen was surprised and asked the second-hand guy: "You are young and have left home. When did you run away from so many fellow villagers?"

The second-rate guy smiled and said, "Didn't I go back with my Uncle Tan during the Spring Festival? I was forced to raise him. When I went back, many fellow villagers came out."

"The main reason is that you drove back in a car. Didn't even many relatives come out?" Lao Wan asked.

"I was raised by force. It's true. I couldn't even get a bite of food before. Now, people from forty or fifty miles away are coming to recognize my relatives. It's annoying to death. I was raised by force."

The second-hand guy cursed: "They all thought I was some kind of big boss. I said I was just a driver, but they still didn't believe it. They said there was no way a driver could be a driver. Drive the car back. We have to go back to Hangzhou, and there are people who want to follow us." , we escaped."

Zhang Chen and Lao Wan laughed, and Lao Wan said: "I just hate going back the most. It will be peaceful if I don't go back."

"It can't be quiet anymore. You are really the general manager now, and there are so many fellow villagers here. The news will spread back soon." Zhang Chen said, "In a few days, even your brothers and sisters might come to Shanghai to find you. ”

When Lao Wan thought, it was true, he suddenly became worried. Now it was the second-rate guy's turn to laugh.
