The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen set a rule for himself. When he was at work during the day, he would go all out and keep an eye on the two construction sites. Although the villa in Baishamen would not be completed this year and Mr. Tan did not ask him to keep an eye on it, Zhang Chen believed that , this is your own job, you have to do it well, and you must not give Mr. Tan the feeling that if you want to leave, you will deal with it carelessly.

Every morning, Zhang Chen would first report to the company, and then go to the two construction sites of Baishamen and Dongbei Restaurant.

The Northeastern Restaurant is finishing the work. It's all fine work. Zhang Chen is watching very closely. Even Mr. Li thinks he is too strict. In fact, there are many places where you can go carelessly. Isn't it just a canteen? This canteen is comparable to the one in their forest farm. The cafeteria is much more upscale.

Only in the evening, when he returns home, will Zhang Chen start the design work of Wanghai Tower.

At noon that day, Xiao Xu came to him and asked him to sign a construction and decoration contract. It was the first project, the additional storey of Wanghai Mall.

Zhang Chen knew that this was just a formality. The official seals of Party A and Party B had been stamped on this contract, and the amount on it had also been filled in. All that was missing was his signature.

After signing the contract, Xiao Xu told him, OK, you can design this layer now. Zhang Chen was dumbfounded by what he said. Where else in the world could there be such a project? The design only started after the contract was signed.

Zhang Chen asked if there were any special requirements. Xiao Xu said that there were some in the actual construction. You should not reflect them on the drawings, but you should leave enough space. This is particularly important.

It turned out that Mr. Fu requested that a secret room of fifty or sixty square meters be added to his office and bedroom. The door of the secret room was behind the cabinet in Mr. Fu's office. The cabinet was required to be movable and the ventilation inside the secret room should be good.

Zhang Chen understood that this was used to store something, so he didn't ask in detail. He knew that it would be useless to ask in detail. Xiao Xu had already told him that as long as the space was left aside, there would be a construction team when the construction started. The team came from Guangzhou and went back after finishing the work. Only Zhang Chen on the construction site knew about this matter.

Before Xiao Xu left, he gave Zhang Chen two pages of paper and said to him, "Just take a look and get a rough idea. Just have an idea."

Zhang Chen looked at it and saw an introduction from Haicheng Panshi Decoration Co., Ltd.

A new company currently has no one except Zhang Chen, but it is described as a strong enterprise. It specifically mentioned a Shanghai Panshi Decoration Co., Ltd., saying that it undertook the five-star hotel in Shanghai, the Portman Hotel renovation project.

Although it is not stated directly, anyone who reads this introduction will think that Haicheng Panshi Decoration Co., Ltd. is a branch of this company in Shanghai. It seems that the name Panshi was not chosen casually, but was deliberately chosen to be close to Shanghai. The thighs of this house.

This kind of operation opened Zhang Chen's eyes. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he took the attitude that it had nothing to do with him. He just felt that Mr. Tan's behavior was considered doing business, while Mr. Fu's behavior was more like conspiracy. .

Liu Ligan told him that you are wrong. The bigger the business, the more conspiracy. In this world, most of the business is done this way.

Zhang Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him and buried himself in his own design.

The design of the office area was quickly completed. Apart from Mr. Fu’s office and living room, there really wasn’t much room for free play. A public unit should always look like a public unit, so it just needs to be designed in a regular way.

In Mr. Fu's office, Zhang Chen designed the greeters and waiters at the door into the room. Outside Mr. Fu's office, a small room was set up to set up a front desk, where the greeters and waiters would sit. More formal, less ostentatious and exaggerated.

There are still two-thirds of the business area. In addition to the sporting goods that need to be moved up, Mr. Fu and the others have not thought about what other products can be moved up.

The reason why the sporting goods have to be moved up is because the people selling sporting goods are too noisy. Those who come to buy treadmills and table tennis tables have to try out running and playing games when they arrive, and there are a lot of people cheering around.

The other counters around here couldn't stand it anymore, and as soon as they heard that it was going to be expanded, they all suggested moving the sporting goods upstairs.

Mr. Fu gave Zhang Chen free reign and asked him to see if there were any products that matched the field of sporting goods and design them upstairs.

Zhang Chen went to Wanghai Mall for a few times. Apart from selling sportswear, he couldn't think of anything suitable to move there. Zhang Chen felt hungry, so he stood at the entrance of Wanghai Mall and looked around, but couldn't find anything nearby. What snack bar.

Zhang Chen suddenly had an idea. He thought, why not set up a snack area on the third floor. People who are tired of shopping in the mall can go up to eat, and those who have finished eating can go shopping in the mall.

Zhang Chen remembered that he had read in a book that a foreign supermarket had such a design.

Especially in Haicheng at that time, big hotels didn't know how to prepare snacks. Those who did serve snacks were roadside shops. The conditions were very simple and they didn't even have air conditioning. Just eating a bowl of noodle soup or rice with pig's feet would make you covered in stinky sweat.

If only there was such a place, Sichuan people could eat Chao Shou and small noodles, Wuhan people could eat hot dry noodles, Henan people could eat braised noodles and spicy soup, Shanghai people could eat wontons and steamed buns, and Northeastern people could eat Dumplings and leek boxes, Xi'an people eat steamed buns and mutton soup, Cantonese people eat rice rolls, Hainan people eat pig's trotter rice and Baoluo noodles, Guilin people eat rice noodles...

Does that mean it will gather a lot of popularity? As for shopping malls, isn’t the most important thing the most important thing?

Zhang Chen thought of this and drew it. In addition to sports equipment and sportswear, the third floor is a snack area, and neither of them is afraid that the other will disturb him.

Zhang Chen handed in the design draft, and the next day, Xiao Xu sent a message to Zhang Chen, asking him to go to the catering service company for a meeting in the afternoon.

Zhang Chen asked Mr. Tan for leave and went over. This time he was not in Mr. Fu's office, but in the conference room. In addition to Mr. Fu, there were three or four other people.

Zhang Chen saw that his design drawing was hanging on the wall of the conference room.

Mr. Fu asked Zhang Chen to introduce his design concepts and ideas. Zhang Chen told them his ideas. Mr. Fu agreed: "Mr. Zhang, you are not a designer, you are involved in our management."

Zhang Chen said: "Our designs are originally designed to serve customers' business activities. If our designs can improve customers' performance and add icing on the cake, this is what we want."

"Well said!" Mr. Fu said, "Look, this is the first-class decoration company in the country. It's just different. It can't be compared to the Tuba Road in Haicheng."

Zhang Chen secretly laughed in his heart, when did he, a polished commander, become the first-class decoration company in the country? He thought of the two pages Xiao Xu gave him, and knew that Mr. Fu had pulled off the tiger skin for himself to silence others.

But what Zhang Chen didn’t know was that their decision at the time was actually a pioneering work in the department store industry across the country. That is, they were probably the first department store to move catering into their stores. Later, many department stores across the country Department stores all organize group tours to Hainan based on visiting and learning the business model of Wanghai Mall.

Of course, this is another story.

At that time, someone present suggested that catering in department stores did not seem to be done in this country yet.

"What are you afraid of? We just have to dare to be the first in the world! We do what others don't do! We also do what others dare not do! Who makes us a special zone!" Mr. Fu used a series of exclamation points to silence the questioning voices Pressed down.

After the meeting at the catering service company, Zhang Chen returned to the company. Not long after he sat down, Mr. Tan called him. He hurried to Mr. Tan's office. Mr. Tan asked him how he was doing.

Zhang Chen knew that Mr. Tan was asking about the design of the mall.

After Zhang Chen finished the design, he showed the manuscript to Mr. Tan. After reading it, Mr. Tan also admired Zhang Chen's idea. He told Zhang Chen that they would see if Hailou dared to do it. If they dared to do it, , the next step will be a direction, and other shopping malls will follow suit.

Zhang Chen nodded and said he passed.

Mr. Tan sighed: "You have to admire this old fox named Fu. This guy still has courage."

Zhang Chen returned to his seat and heard the BB player in his bag beeping. Zhang Chen looked left and right, secretly took out the HanXian BB player and looked at it. The message was from Xiao Xu, and the content was:

"Mr. Fu invites you to have dinner together tonight. We will pick you up at the Northeast Restaurant at six o'clock."

Zhang Chen knew that this was a work meal once a week, and it was about the mall.
