My 1999

"My parents are not as snobbish as you think."

"Haha, you're right."

Xu Liangcai didn't bother to talk about this kind of thing where there is no benefit if it is confirmed and no harm if it is not confirmed.

If you are really just a small boss, there is a high probability that you will be broken up.

Not willing?

People will destroy your company in minutes.

As for Jiang Xiaoyang, he might be reluctant to let go after the separation, but as time goes by, he still has to compromise.

love?

The dogs didn't believe it.

After lunch, the two of them changed their clothes and went out.

Although there are not as many outsiders in Beijing as there were ten years ago, when the Chinese New Year comes, the streets become visibly depressed.

However, during the Chinese New Year, movie theaters and restaurants will definitely not be closed.

"where are we going?"

“Xizhimen Taihua Plaza.”

"Okay, Boss Xu. When you go out for fun, you don't forget to inspect the companies under your name."

"Haha, isn't this just a matter of course?"

"How many projects does Taihua Real Estate have now?"

"As of now, there are 35."

"Already that much?"

Xu Liang nodded.

He did not tell Jiang Xiaoyang that these were completed and under-construction projects. There were also many projects that had acquired land but had not started construction.

If you include this part, Taihua Real Estate already has 53 projects.

Then Lu Jue's plan is to increase this goal to 80 by the end of 2004.

Xu Liang basically agreed with his plan, to acquire more land, and then build slowly.

"You are really willing to do so. You are not afraid of losing money after investing so much in real estate." Jiang Xiaoyang said.

"This is real estate, do you think I will lose money?" Xu Liang said with a smile.

Jiang Xiaoyang didn't say anything anymore. Real estate can maintain its value much better than stocks.

"Xu Liang, I suddenly discovered that the topics between us seem to be more and more about work."

"Are you afraid of the seven-year itch?"

"I'm afraid that there will be no love between us."

Xu Liang smiled and took Jiang Xiaoyang's hand, "Don't worry, that day won't happen."

"Really?"

After affirmatively agreeing, "No matter when, I will remember you who helped me make investments seriously four years ago."

Jiang Xiaoyang clenched his hands subconsciously.

Putting their palms together, it felt like there was a warm current flowing down the arms and into the heart, which was very comfortable.

The carriage became quiet.

Neither of them had the heart to destroy the peaceful atmosphere.

However, as time passed and the space shifted, the destination was reached.

"Such a big underground parking lot?!"

Jiang Xiaoyang said in surprise.

"Is it big? I still think it's small."

Xizhimen Taihua Plaza was built on the basis of the unfinished building "Yindu Center", although the podium and underground parking lot were expanded according to Xu Liang's requirements.

However, the size of the plot and the previously laid foundation limited the space for renovation.

It is impossible for Xu Liang to tear everything down and start over again.

Therefore, the Xizhimen Taihua Plaza, which was finally renovated, covers an area of ​​40,200 square meters and has a construction area of ​​253,000 square meters.

There is a shopping mall of 87,000 square meters, office space of 103,000 square meters, and Fuhua International Apartment of 63,000 square meters.

Because Taihua Real Estate has hotel business, the two buildings of Fuhua Apartment were originally planned to be turned into three-star "Taihua Hotel". However, considering that the two buildings did not face the street, they were sold to New Century Real Estate.

"You're still young? Most of the parking spaces are empty." Jiang Xiaoyang said.

"Xiaoyang, do you want to make a bet? It will take at most five years for all the parking spaces on the underground floor to be filled."

"Okay, what's the bet?"

Xu Liang thought for a while and smiled slightly.

"If I win, we will be happy..."

Jiang Xiaoyang glanced at him with a red face, "You've been thinking about this all day long."

"Just tell me whether you agree or not?" Xu Liangli said confidently.

"If you agree, agree. But if you lose, you have to agree to my request."

"no problem."

Xu Liang said simply.

There was no way he could lose. This was Xizhimen, the Second Ring Road of Beijing. In less than five years, traffic jams would be so heavy that traffic numbers would be restricted. If the parking lot is not built larger, passenger flow will be affected in the future.

Park the car.

Xu Liang looked up.

"Hey, you're pretty quick to do it."

Not far away, the signboard of Kelong Supermarket is large and clear.

"I'm not stupid. Places like urban complexes with a large flow of people are the most suitable for opening supermarkets. Others have to rely on connections or bids for other places. Of course, our own property must be occupied early." Jiang Xiaoyang said.

"How many branches does Kelong Supermarket have now?"

“According to your request, 176 hypermarkets, 352 supermarkets, community stores and convenience stores have all canceled direct operations and replaced them with franchises.

Currently we have 3,219 franchise stores throughout North China. "

Xu Liang nodded. Community stores and convenience stores are too small in scale. If they are managed directly and uniformly, it will be difficult to effectively supervise them.

And it will greatly increase labor costs.

Rather than doing this, it is better to give up direct sales.

Only make money through logistics and distribution.

“What are your goals for next year?”

"Acquire Qilu Jialejia and then develop the entire Qilu market."

Now, the provinces and cities with the largest share of Kelong Supermarket in the retail sector are the Beijing-Tianjin region and Jiangsu Province, accounting for half of the market.

Followed by Hui Province and Hebei, accounting for about 30%.

"Are you planning to base yourself in North China and radiate to the southeast?"

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded, "What do you think?"

"Yes. The best economic development in the country is in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and the southeastern coast. All retail groups are competing for this market. Only when they have a firm foothold can they enter and fight."

With that said, the two entered the supermarket.

Although it was the second day of the Lunar New Year, there were many people in the supermarket.

Xu Liang turned around and frowned.

"Any questions?"

“Have you done any customer surveys?”

"Of course. Basically once every quarter?"

"Have your customers not reported to you that your fresh food section is too small? Also, with so many unique snack shops on the basement floor, how many people will come to the supermarket to buy your cooked food?"

Jiang Xiaoyang's expression changed.

“In the future, supermarkets like this that rely on shopping malls will all cancel the cooked food section and enlarge the fresh food section, especially the seafood section.

The fresh food and seafood sections together account for 40% of the entire supermarket. "

Although he had never worked in retail in his previous life, Yonghui Supermarket relied on enlarging the fresh food area and developed rapidly while the retail industry as a whole was in a slump. This is a classic business case.

He had heard some of it.

"Is it too big?"

"You should rectify two of them first and see the turnover."

Xu Liang didn't push it down forcefully.

It's better to let the facts speak for themselves.

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded and agreed.

"Come on, let's continue walking inside."

Xu Liang has the memory of being reborn for twenty-five years, so of course he will come up with mature designs for later generations.

The most typical example is a supermarket placed underground and connected to a food court.

Xu Liang found out after turning around.

The overall design of the snack bar is a bit backward.

It has a "rustic" feel to it, and the variety is not very rich.

Moreover, there is a lack of creatively designed large-scale sculptures and ornaments on the roads and corners.

Lack of humanity.

"Are you doing a good job here? It's quite fashionable."

Jiang Xiaoyang praised.

Xu Liang glanced at her.

The sentence "What are you looking at" came to his mouth and he put it back.

As a person around him, Jiang Xiaoyang quickly noticed his emotional changes.

"You seem dissatisfied?"

"A little bit, but it's okay."

In fact, the current design is the comprehensive result after Taihua sent people to inspect it all over the world, and it is already very good.

It is unrealistic to want to drag down other people’s aesthetics twenty years later.

Take the escalator to the first floor.

According to Xu Liang’s request, the original locations of Building A and Building B of the shopping mall were changed into two transparent hollows above and below.

Looks upscale and stylish.

Xu Liang originally thought that most restaurants would be closed except for restaurants, but he didn't expect that when he came up, he saw a scene full of people.

From the first floor to the fifth floor, almost all shops are open.

A dense flow of people passed through it, creating a lively scene.

"It's so lively."

Jiang Xiaoyang said in surprise.

"I didn't expect that either."

He really didn't expect it.

In his previous life, before he was reborn, he always went back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year and never went to a shopping mall.

"Come on, let's go shopping."

Jiang Xiaoyang said excitedly.

No matter what age or status a woman is, the joy of shopping is engraved in her bones.

Especially today when Xu Liang is around.

Seeing her excited look, Xu Liang shook his head and followed her.

Come and have fun with her.

The first floor of the shopping mall is a collection of domestic and foreign fast-moving consumer goods stores, men's and women's clothing, fashion brands and fine jewelry.

The second floor is for fashionable men's and women's clothing and themed dining.

The third floor is a sports, children, education and video game city.

The fourth floor is themed dining and Taihua International Cinema.

The fifth floor is for fitness and beauty.

There are hundreds of stores in total. If Xu Liang went there, he would only scan them briefly and be done in half an hour.

Jiang Xiaoyang was stunned because it was dark and he hadn't reached the third floor yet.

"Should we eat first?"

Xu Liang, who was carrying a bag full of bags, couldn't help but remind him.

"My dear, try this knitted sweater on again. I think it matches you very well."

"You bought me two similar clothes just now." Xu Liang said helplessly.

"The color and pattern are different. Oops, go try it."

Xu Liang, who was pushed into the fitting room, changed his clothes and walked out.

The shopping guide's eyes lit up and she said quickly.

"Ma'am, your husband looks really handsome in this."

Jiang Xiaoyang looked up and down and nodded.

"Miss, swipe your card."

"Do you still want to buy it?"

"It's not very expensive anyway. Oops, let's go."

"I'll change my clothes first."

Went out of the men's clothing store just now.

"No more shopping, no more shopping, I'm starving, let's eat first."

Xu Liang went on strike directly.

"Okay. I just saw a steak restaurant on the third floor. Let's go try it."

"No matter what the meal is, as long as it fills my stomach."

When he arrived at the place, Xu Liang ordered ten steaks in a row, only to eat one that was eighty-point full.

Although his rebirth gave him superhuman energy and physical fitness, it also increased his appetite.

After all, energy is conserved.

However, the waiter next to him was stunned by his behavior.

She has seen tall people and handsome people, but she has never seen someone leading a beautiful woman to eat Western food and eating so much.
