I Have 100 Million Stores

Upgraded?

Hearing the system's beep, Cao Xingyu immediately threw aside the iPad in his hand.

Immediately, a smile unconsciously appeared on the whole person's face.

This unexpected joy came a bit too suddenly!

What's going on?

Suddenly upgraded?

Without enough time to delve into it, Cao Xingyu couldn't wait to call out the system map in his mind, wanting to see what new features would be available after the upgrade.

"This is Sansha City fully open!"

Originally there were only ten red dots in Beicheng District on the map, but now there are hundreds of red dots, densely packed all over Sansha City!

Some of them are like Dream City Commercial Street, and there are also large shopping malls that Cao Xingyu has never been involved in before!

The most famous, largest and most prosperous one among them is undoubtedly the Daxing Road Pedestrian Street in Sansha City!

Daxing Road Pedestrian Street not only has a commercial street, but also consists of multiple large shopping malls!

The whole thing is one big piece!

The key is to be in a luxurious location in the city center where land is at a premium.

There are 4 subway lines that interact with each other, and the transportation convenience is the best in the city.

One can imagine how terrifying its traffic will be!

This is the most famous attraction in Sansha City and one of the places that people must visit when coming to Sansha City!

In addition, not far away is the most famous bar street in Sansha City, which invisibly increases the flow of people to this Daxing Road Pedestrian Street!

And when you zoom out to a certain area on the map, you can clearly see the three-dimensional scene of the commercial streets!

"It's better than I expected!" Cao Xingyu was overjoyed.

Originally, he estimated that after the upgrade, Yueshan District, which would open up Sansha City and Hexi, might be opened to him.

I didn't expect that he would be able to open all the commercial streets in Sansha City in one step!

At first glance, there are at least hundreds of them!

The number of commercial streets has increased ten times compared to the previous one!

The intermediate map turns out to be the entire Sansha City!

What will happen if we continue to upgrade?

Save?

Or nationwide?

It seemed a bit far away, so Cao Xingyu temporarily gave up the idea. The city in front of him was enough for him to struggle for a while.

Why are you thinking about so many useless things?

"Have fun..." Cao Xingyu couldn't help but muttered.

There are so many shopping streets and such a big plate. It takes a lot of energy to eat them all.

But when he thought that his future industries could be spread throughout Sansha City, Cao Xingyu couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"The commercial street is full of excess, but it's still the same as before." After calming down, Cao Xingyu began to analyze:

"It just includes slightly more formal and larger commercial streets and shopping malls."

"Small or surrounding auxiliary streets are not included in the map."

"It is estimated that this will be the trend in future maps. Auxiliary streets and some small streets will not be included in the system."

Cao Xingyu understood this quite well.

After all, if all the small streets and auxiliary streets in the city were really included, it would be a bit exaggerated.

Is it possible for him to really acquire all the stores?

The total number of shops is tens of thousands, countless!

If you want to acquire all those stores, you will know that this is very unrealistic.

Even if it were just the hundreds of commercial streets on the map, it would not be easy for Cao Xingyu to eat them all.

You know, as the location of the commercial street is better, the flow of people will be greater.

Costs are constantly increasing.

There is also a very serious issue to consider, which is population size.

The total population of Sansha City is only that large. Even if some floating population is added, it may only be 12 to 3 million at most.

To put it simply, the market pie is just that big!

Therefore, having too many Shiwang brand stores is not necessarily a good thing!

Although monopolizing all the shops in the city sounds ridiculous, Cao Xingyu will not do it blindly.

The reason is simple. Because there are too many stores, the flow of people will be dispersed, causing the daily sales of a single store to naturally decrease.

When all costs of Shiwang brand stores are higher than those of their peers, take the catering industry as an example. The average profit of catering stores is 50%, but the current average profit of Shiwang brand is just over 10%.

And this 10% profit margin is based on the fact that each store has enough customers and a high table turnover rate, and can achieve this profit margin by making small profits but quick turnover.

If Shiwang brand stores are spread all over the streets, it is conceivable that the flow of people will be greatly dispersed, and the turnover rate of Shiwang brand stores will plummet.

By that time, the Shiwang brand will face a very embarrassing situation, that is, every store will enter a period of loss.

And when it really enters that period of loss, tens of thousands of stores will suffer losses!

Even if Cao Xingyu has system subsidies, he may not be able to withstand it!

Even if you can withstand losses, it will be difficult to have large funds for expansion!

This is also the fundamental reason why Cao Xingyu has always pursued that each store can be responsible for its own profits and losses. As long as the store does not lose money, then he can free up funds!

This is the bottom line!

Therefore, the current system map is limited to hundreds of standardized commercial streets. For Cao Xingyu, it is not necessarily a bad thing, but it can be said to be a good thing.

In particular, most of these commercial streets are some distance apart, and only a few are very close, which will create a certain amount of competition and diversion.

In most cases, the coverage of these commercial streets is relatively unique.

This means that every commercial street will definitely have a certain flow of people.

"Fortunately, the commercial streets I chose before are indeed in this batch. The direction is correct, and the prepared stores can all play a role."

After a pause, Cao Xingyu checked a certain commercial street to see if there were any new features.

You must know that this map previously provided the store owner's willingness to transfer. This function can be said to be a very powerful auxiliary function and can provide strong guidance when the Real King brand makes acquisitions.

"Huh?" After checking, Cao Xingyu's eyes suddenly lit up: "You can actually check the store owner's transfer price!!"

At this time, Cao Xingyu chose a store and looked at the information.

In the information, in addition to the basic information of the store and the willingness to transfer, it was previously provided.

There is also a psychological transfer minimum price and maximum price!

Even some people whose willingness to transfer is infinitely close to 0 have this data!

It's just that the price is much more expensive than those who are willing to transfer.

In addition, there is also the contact information of the store owner.

"This thing... is a bit powerful!" Cao Xingyu raised his eyebrows.

With this thing, it will be extremely simple and convenient for him to acquire stores in the future!

And you can save a lot of money!

For example, when faced with those who are willing to transfer, he can completely lower the price and make the acquisition at the lowest price the other party has psychologically!

It is not impossible to even push the price down!

In short, with this thing, Shiwang Group basically does not need to spend too much effort. It can negotiate based on this price and make appropriate adjustments!

"Export these data!" Cao Xingyu saw the export function on the map and immediately muttered silently in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, a thick stack of paper appeared out of thin air in his system backpack.

No need to think about it, the detailed information of these stores is above.

Cao Xingyu took it out silently, and the papers appeared in his hands out of thin air.

"With this thing, we can make some targeted acquisition arrangements." Cao Xingyu smiled, paused, and murmured a little afterward:

"But this thing should change dynamically. Their psychological selling price will definitely change with various factors. It can't always be like this."

"Therefore, exporting the whole thing is of little use. It is only useful to export the latest one when you want to acquire a certain commercial street!"

After thinking about it, Cao Xingyu threw the information back into the system backpack.

However, he finally exported some information.

The commercial streets marked on the map were guided out. The range of these commercial streets is naturally fixed. They can be given to Liu Ting later to confirm the short-term goals of the Shiwang Group.

For a long time in the future, the development of Shiwang Group will revolve around these commercial streets.

"Huh? Is there a blue dot?" After coming back to his senses, Cao Xingyu checked the map for a while and found that among the large red dots, there was a small blue dot that was unusually eye-catching.

Cao Xingyu immediately turned his gaze and quickly zoomed in on the area with the blue dot.

Then, the blue dot turned into a long blue line.

"Oh...it turns out to be Dream City Commercial Street!"

"But why is it blue?"

The doubts in Cao Xingyu's heart were not answered, but instead deepened.

He immediately clicked on Dream City Commercial Street with his mind.

The map instantly switched to a real picture of Dream City Commercial Street.

At the top of the actual picture is an introduction to this commercial street:

"Dream City Commercial Street, with a total of 101 stores, is located at the intersection of XX Street and XX Street, Beicheng District, Sansha City...."

"The host currently owns 101 stores in this commercial street, which belongs to the business district that the host absolutely controls."

After reading the introduction, Cao Xingyu suddenly realized.

Unknowingly, Liu Ting has already negotiated all the commercial streets, right? !

The speed was quite fast, it took less than three days in total.

But on second thought, it is reasonable for a compulsory acquisition to be carried out under the condition of compensating for liquidated damages and with the full investment of personnel.

But the money spent is much higher than normal.

For the remaining dozens of stores in this commercial street, at least tens of millions have probably been spent, and this does not include the subsequent investment in store transformation.

After all, Dream City Commercial Street has become more popular now, and the compensation is not low.

"It seems that the system map upgrade is due to this reason! Although the cost may be higher than normal, the money is still worth it. Use money in exchange for time!" Cao Xingyu pursed his lips and muttered. .

He had speculated before that completely controlling a commercial street might be a condition for upgrading the map.

The result is indeed the case.

"Liu Ting, this guy didn't notify me of such good news as soon as possible!"

After muttering, Cao Xingyu quickly checked his personal panel with a look of anticipation.

If he remembers correctly, he has complete control over a commercial street, and the subsidy for the commercial district should be increased!

I don’t know if there are any other special rewards besides this? !

"Name: Cao Xingyu

Age: 22

Explore business districts: high-quality business districts x9, daily subsidy (the higher the level of the business district, the higher the daily subsidy amount)

Absolute control of the business district: high-quality business district x1, daily subsidy. Comes with a halo: Customer consumption desire +100% (can be stacked).

Available experience: 0.

Gold coins: 0 (exchange).

Industry (the higher the industry level, the higher the subsidy base for the corresponding industry):

[Entertainment Industry]: 01000 points (D level, subsidy base), current number of stores: 4, daily subsidy: number of stores*, daily turnover subsidy +20%

[Catering industry]: 0 points (C level, subsidy base), current number of stores: 372, daily subsidy: number of stores*, daily turnover subsidy +50%

[Clothing Industry]: 0100 points (E level, subsidy base 1000), current number of stores: 23, daily subsidy: number of stores * 1000

[Daily necessities industry]: 0100 points (E level, subsidy base 1000), current number of stores: 5, daily subsidy: number of stores * 1000

【......】

Current daily subsidy: business district subsidy () + store subsidy () + irregular daily sales subsidy

"

"The subsidy given by the business district under absolute control has doubled from the original 50,000 to 100,000!" Cao Xingyu looked at his personal dashboard and analyzed:

"Better than nothing!"

"It actually adds an extra halo, which increases customers' desire to consume..."

"Can be stacked..."

If Cao Xingyu remembers correctly, after the store is upgraded to the top level, the consumer desire will increase by 100%.

Now this means that the consumption desire of the shops on Dream City Commercial Street is +200%!

"This thing is invisible and intangible, but judging from previous experience, it will indeed increase the unit price a lot."

"Okay."

In this regard, Cao Xingyu didn't have much ups and downs in his heart. After all, it was not the first time he saw him, so he didn't feel as fresh as before.

“In addition to [entertainment industry] and [catering industry], six or seven new industries have been added this time.”

This is because those new stores that have just been acquired are automatically included in their existing industries when the system calculates them.

According to Cao Xingyu’s plan for a city that never sleeps, these stores will be renovated and upgraded into a 24-hour street that combines catering and entertainment industries!

All in all, except for the catering industry and entertainment industry, he is not planning to get involved in other industries for the time being.

The main consideration is that you have to start over every time you get a new industry. This can be seen intuitively from the panel.

Like [clothing industry], level E, the subsidy base is only 1,000!

It would take 27 stores to equal the current daily subsidy provided by one restaurant!

The gap is too big!

In particular, the base subsidy adds cards randomly, with a limit of one per week.

Therefore, increasing the amount of subsidies for an industry is a long-term and lengthy process.

In addition, industry upgrades also cost money!

Overall speaking, it is better to focus on one main industry first, and the [entertainment industry] should be developed incidentally, as a auxiliary industry, to cooperate with the [catering industry]. After all, the two industries themselves have many things that can be connected with each other.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Cao Xingyu glanced at the time.

10 at night!

"It's still early."

"I still have six compulsory acquisition store cards in my hand. Since you can now choose Daxing Road Pedestrian Street, it's not a waste of time..." Cao Xingyu showed a meaningful smile.

The six compulsory purchase store cards originally accumulated were reserved for Mei Tuan.

But judging from the current situation, Mei Tuan should not make any further moves against his store. He can completely use these six cards!

And in fact, even if Mei Tuan still wants to make a move, Cao Xingyu is not panicking at all now!

He was so determined to protect the store because he was considering upgrading the map.

Now that the map has been upgraded and there are so many commercial streets in the city to choose from, will he still care about one or two stores?

If you want it, take it!

Just pay compensation for breach of contract!

In the end, not only did he not lose money, he also made a sure profit!

"Let's go to Daxing Road Pedestrian Street and pick out six shops first!" Cao Xingyu was in high spirits, sat up from the bed and started to get dressed.

There is no doubt that the rents for shops in Daxing Road Pedestrian Street are the most expensive in Sansha City.

It is divided into inner streets and outer streets.

Among them, the outer street faces the street, and the price is higher than that of the inner street.

Of course, discussing price is actually a bit pointless.

Because few people will transfer it!

The main reason is the large flow of people and booming business.

The secondary reason is that the above merchants are basically well-known chain brands at home and abroad. They have everything from luxury goods to mid-to-high-end to affordable fashion brands, covering a wide range.

For these chain brands, having a store on such a bustling pedestrian street, not to mention the fact that the business itself is quite good, the high brand exposure alone is worth their investment.

Therefore, the shops on Daxing Road Pedestrian Street are basically priced but not marketed!

Every time a store comes out, it will be taken over instantly!

This is the real prosperous shop!

Hard to find!

After getting dressed, Cao Xingyu called Liu Ting and said:

"Manager Liu, where are you?"

"Oh, are you still at the company?"

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Besides you, who else is at the top of the company?"

"Oh, everyone is here. Okay, you can organize it and take everyone to visit Daxing Road Pedestrian Street."

"Well, come all the executives. I'm happy today. I'd like to treat you all to a late-night snack. The company's recent smooth development is mainly due to the hard work of all the executives. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you!"

"By the way, let's take everyone to Daxing Road Pedestrian Street to inspect it."

"Let's do this for now. Let's meet again when we get there."

...

"Inspection? Going to Daxing Road Pedestrian Street for inspection?" Liu Ting, who was organizing and controlling the progress of all aspects of the company's affairs in the office, was a little dazed for a moment...

As a native of Sansha City, Liu Ting is naturally familiar with the Daxing Road Pedestrian Street.

The key is the word 'inspection' that Mr. Cao said!

It reminded her of her previous inspection at Dream City Commercial Street!

That experience she will never forget!

At that time, Mr. Cao took a look at those large-area stores, and then randomly picked three...

This is what Mr. Cao meant by ‘inspection’...

Is it possible?

Liu Ting thought of a possibility in her mind.

No way?
