The Pentium Era - South to North

Meng Ping took them to the scene. When they arrived at the scene, Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan had to admit that Meng Ping had a very vicious vision. This place was located on Zhongshan Road, Zhongshan East Road, Zhongshan South Road and Hanzhong Road. The intersection, this intersection, is no ordinary intersection. In the middle of the intersection is the famous bronze statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

This intersection is similar to the Liberation Monument in Chongqing. It is actually a small square with a wide view. It is really suitable to build a skyscraper here, and this is the most lively and prosperous area in Nanjing. In this place, if It would be a pity not to build a shopping mall underneath the building.

"But there are already so many large shopping malls around here." Qian Fang still insisted on her opinion.

"This has no impact." Zhang Chen said, "Today's shopping malls are different from before. Instead of everyone crowding into one shopping mall, they have begun to be subdivided. The shopping malls have begun to be subdivided, and the customers have also begun to be subdivided. Haicheng There is Wanghai Mall, but it does not affect DC City. There are so many department stores in Shanghai, but Huating Isetan still has to come in, and business is still booming.

"A city as big as Nanjing should also have its own Huating Isetan. I mean high-end shopping malls. There is the most high-end shopping mall in Nanjing below the highest building. This complements each other. And with such a large flow of people here, we don't need to build a shopping mall. It's really a pity.

"Also, for a fifty-two-story office building, how many people will work in it? If it is a pure office building, commuting will cause congestion, and there is a large shopping mall below, which can actually divert people. Because many people are commuting to and from get off work, they may choose to go shopping in the mall and enter and exit the elevator on the second, third and fourth floors, so the crowd will not be concentrated in the lobby on the first floor.

"Because I have to go to the mall, the time of going up and downstairs will naturally be staggered."

"That's so good!" Meng Ping shouted, "I just feel that there should be a shopping mall here, but I can't explain so much. Zhang Chen, what you said is so good, Qian Fang, how do you think?"

Qian Fang smiled and said: "Okay, I was convinced by Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang, how do you know so much?"

"It's not surprising. I go to shopping malls so much that I forget that we work in shopping malls. Whenever a famous new shopping mall opens in the country, I will go there. If I watch too much, even a fool will understand." Zhang Chen He also smiled.

"Yes, he is humble enough. This is a good character." Liu Ligan said from the side.

"But Lao Meng, since you want to build the highest-end shopping mall, I have a suggestion." Zhang Chen said.

"Say it, Mr. Zhang."

"I opened my own 'Dynamic Zone', and I have a feeling. I feel that in terms of commercial formats, the original format of large shopping malls will be eliminated. 'Shop within a store' is the way out for shopping malls in the future. My own 'Dynamic Zone' 'After it was launched, I felt that the 'store within a store' would be more upscale than the original open business model.

"The bigger the brand, the stronger its personality. 'Shop-in-store' can well demonstrate their personality, which is something that an open store cannot do. In the future, you must have something The threshold is that if it is not a world-famous brand or a well-known domestic brand, it will not be allowed in, so as to maintain your status as a high-end shopping mall."

"This is a good suggestion, Mr. Zhang. Think about it again and see if you have any other suggestions." Meng Ping said.

Zhang Chen thought for a while and said, "Also, you should not only have shopping here, but also food. The fourth floor can be used as a food court, also in the form of a 'store within a store'. In this way, when people are here, not only are they... Buy it, you can eat when you are tired of shopping, and your company upstairs has dinner parties and banquets, so you don’t have to leave this building."

"Great, great, I accept all your suggestions." Meng Ping smiled.

Zhang Chen was talking, but his hands did not stop, and he continued to draw. While he was talking and drawing, the image of a building was formed in his mind. This place contains so many things. Function, then this building, from appearance to internal structure, must be modern and fashionable.

The exterior is made of all glass curtain walls, standing gleamingly at this intersection, blinding people's eyes. It is so high that it can even illuminate the ancient city of Nanjing.

This place covers an area of ​​more than 30,000 square meters. It is large enough. It should be outside the building. Don't leave any space for people to stay. Too many people stay outside the mall, not only affecting the traffic, but also unsightly. He decided to adopt an atrium design, which is the periphery of the building, close to the road outside, but leaving a huge atrium inside for people to rest and stay.

There is a garden and children's play area in the atrium, as well as fast food and outdoor coffee. He wants to guide people on the road outside to the atrium inside. Even the entrance and exit of the underground parking lot are located in the atrium, and only through Several roads in and out are connected to the city roads outside.

In this way, vehicles will pass quickly, and no matter how many vehicles there are, they will not cause congestion on the road outside.

While Zhang Chen was sketching, the whole idea was slowly maturing in his mind. When he finished sketching the surrounding environment and closed the sketchbook, he felt that he was already confident.

They returned to the room, but Li Yang and the others hadn't come back yet. Meng Ping called Li Yang and Li Yang said he would be there soon. Zhang Chen shouted from the side and asked him if he had bought all the things. It didn't matter if he would be there soon or not.

Zhang Chen already felt eager to give it a try and wanted to put the ideas in his mind onto paper as soon as possible. On the other hand, he was worried about whether he had purchased all the materials and whether it would affect his creation at night.

Before Meng Ping asked, Li Yang heard Zhang Chen's voice on the phone and shouted, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, we have bought everything. We also bought what you forgot to write down."

"Forgot to write? What?" Zhang Chen asked.

"eraser."

"Why do I need an eraser?" Zhang Chen was confused.

"Hey, you're drawing, do you need an eraser?"

Zhang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he didn't bother to care. He said, "Okay, you are so thoughtful. Thank you, Li Yang."

"Come on, let's go eat first, and then we'll see Mr. Zhang after dinner."

Meng Ping shouted, and the group left the room.

When they arrived at the elevator, Meng Ping pressed the up button and asked to go to the revolving restaurant upstairs to eat. Qian Fang said no. That was for people who were in love or had an affair. They were so naive that it was inconvenient to talk, so they should go there. Box below.

"Hey, that's right. The Nanjing dialect has come out, has it become local?" Liu Ligan shouted.

When Liu Ligan called out, Qian Fang realized it and smiled: "I think this word is very funny. You can't speak loudly when you eat on it. It's like being too talkative."

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan agreed with Qian Fang that it was so boring to have a pretentious meal and not be able to speak loudly or laugh loudly.

Liu Ligan pressed the down button.

They sat in the box for more than ten minutes. Just as the food was served, Li Yang and the others came back.

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan felt that the horse was arriving as quickly as possible and seemed to be much faster than before.

…

Zhang Chen was alone in the room and drew a rendering of the building, then he drew a rendering of the atrium, and then he drew a rendering of the shopping mall. Feeling that he still had more to say, he simply drew a rendering of the lobby of the office building. After finishing the painting, it was already past four o'clock. I went downstairs alone, walked out of the hotel, and squatted on the curb to smoke.

Looking at the low houses opposite, Zhang Chen felt a little excited as he imagined what the building he had just finished painting would look like when it stood here.

On the road, the street sweepers had already come out. When they passed by Zhang Chen, they looked at him and asked, "Did you quarrel with your wife?"

Zhang Chen pointed to the building behind and said with a smile: "No, I'm staying in a hotel. I can't sleep. I came out to get some fresh air."

"The air in such a high-end place is not fresh?"

Zhang Chen shook his head, it was stale and suffocating.

Zhang Chen stood up and took out a cigarette and gave it to the other party. The other party quickly said thank you and took it, but instead of smoking, he clamped it to his ear and told Zhang Chen that it was a high-end cigarette and he would smoke it later when he was tired.

Zhang Chen took out another one and gave it to him, telling him to light it up. The other person then said thank you, thank you, took it, and Zhang Chen lit it up for him.

The two of them stood and chatted for a while. Zhang Chen said to him, okay, I won't delay your work.

The two waved goodbye, and Zhang Chen went back upstairs to look at the painting hanging on the bed. There was nothing that needed to be modified.

Zhang Chen moved everything on the table, put the KT board on the carpet, cut it out, and put it on the table. He framed all four paintings and tied them with strips. It was almost six o'clock, and it was very hot outside. A bit hazy.

He took the framed painting and walked to the opposite side. He heard the faint sound of someone talking in Liu Ligan's room opposite. He rang the doorbell and the door opened. Liu Ligan and Meng Ping were not asleep yet. The two people are still chatting.

Zhang Chen handed the painting to Meng Ping, and Meng Ping exclaimed as soon as he saw it: "Oh, Zhang Chen, you can paint better than I dreamed! I thought about this place hazily, and now, haha, it's all there !”

"How about it? Isn't this more convincing than your four pieces of paper?" Liu Ligan asked.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Meng Ping said with a smile.

He looked up at Zhang Chen, his eyes were bloodshot, and he quickly called out: "Zhang Chen, you have worked hard all night, go to bed quickly, I will call you at lunch time."

"Didn't you guys work hard all night?" Zhang Chen said.

"It's not hard, we are bragging. What's the point of bragging?" Meng Ping said with a smile, "Bragging is the opium of men. The more you brag, the more excited you become. No, no, no. I want to call Qian Fang and the others over and let them take a look at this." Painting, can’t wait any longer.”

Zhang Chen returned to his room, took a shower, fell on the bed and fell asleep.

When the phone woke him up, Zhang Chen looked at the time and it was already past one o'clock.

Qian Fang asked Zhang Chen to go down for dinner on the phone. Zhang Chen said yes and would be there right away.

Qian Fang laughed softly on the phone.

Zhang Chen opened the door of the box and was stunned for a moment. He saw two strangers inside. After Liu Ligan introduced them, Zhang Chen knew that these two people were Mr. Qiao and Mr. Yang, Meng Ping and Liu Ligan. We just picked them up from the airport.

When introducing Zhang Chen to the two of them, Liu Ligan said that the Ban Mu Tian store on Yan'an Road in Hangzhou and the dynamic zone on Stadium Road both belong to Boss Zhang.

Mr. Qiao and Mr. Yang have been to Hangzhou many times and are very familiar with these two places, especially the dynamic zone. They heard that Zhang Chen is the boss of these two places. Both of them were a little excited and said that Boss Zhang was honored to meet him. , and looked at each other.

Liu Ligan's heart skipped a beat.

Thank you Tianying 1978 for your monthly ticket! Thanks for all the votes and reading! Have a good evening everyone!
