Chapter 669 Endorsement
Things like prenuptial agreements require a "bad guy" to propose it. It is much better for Ren Yuefeng to be this "bad guy" than for Li Dongling to do it.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lao Ren!"
Li Dongling stood up, patted Ren Yuefeng's shoulder and said.
Li Dongling didn't say much. Ren Yuefeng's "notoriety" this time was basically equivalent to siding with Dongling High-tech, and he could only side with the heirs of the old Li family in the future!
However, Ren Yuefeng can also get huge benefits from taking sides in this wave. In the future, Li Dongling will give him more authority. Even when Dongling High-tech Headquarters nominates board members in the future, Ren Yuefeng will definitely bear the brunt!
……
Oriental Times Square, Binh Duong’s new landmark building, before the Oriental Times Mall was still under construction, but now it has been fully constructed.
A large square appeared in front of everyone. On the square were towering stone pillars carved with famous stories and characters that had happened in the city of Pingyang throughout the ages.
The entire Oriental Times Square, in this era, is enough to be called spectacular. The scale of Oriental Times Square is enough to be regarded as a landmark building in the entire Hanxi.
Every city has its own central square, which can be regarded as the central area of the city, and even extends to area signs such as the inner ring and the second ring. The closer to the city center, the higher the housing prices!
When the new Binh Duong City Hall building is built opposite Oriental Times Square, Oriental Times Square will officially become the city center of Binh Duong.
It is expected that this day will not be too late. The Pingyang City Hall under the leadership of Yao Zhengru has too many major projects and projects. Relatively speaking, the Pingyang City Hall’s new building project is not that concerned.
As for the next Yao Zhengru, he will definitely arrange for the new building project of Pingyang City Hall to be launched. This is also one of his achievements, and it is the most direct way to consolidate the power of Pingyang City Hall!
Once the Binh Duong City Hall new building project starts, Oriental Times Square will automatically become the city center of Binh Duong. With it as the center, in the future, the closer to it, the more expensive the land and houses will be.
Although the square has not officially opened yet, Oriental Times Square has already appeared its characteristics as a city center, that is... traffic jam!
No one knows why there is a traffic jam here since Oriental Times Square and shopping malls have not opened yet, but there is an inexplicable traffic jam.
Li Dongling was also blocked here for more than 20 minutes before he arrived at Oriental Times Mall.
The entire Oriental Times Mall has appeared in front of Li Dongling. It has an artistic ring-shaped building and uses a large number of glass and metal facades. The first impression of the entire Oriental Times Mall is that it is tall!
The big characters of Oriental Times Mall are still wrapped in announcements, and they are just waiting to be unveiled on the day of the trial opening.
When Li Dongling entered, the mall was busy inside, and every store was busy stocking up. In this Oriental Times Mall, the management's property, security, cleaning, and warehousing staff, plus the sales staff of associated third-party brands , directly providing more than 3,000 jobs.
Currently, the stores in Oriental Times Mall adopt a self-operated and joint-venture model. That is, some stores are launched or invested by Oriental Times Mall itself, such as Shang Porcelain, in which Oriental Times Mall holds 34% of the equity. .
The remaining joint-venture stores include domestic brands, including Changhong, Haier, Gree, Little Swan, Peacebird Clothing, Metersbonwe, etc.
There are also overseas brands, including Nike, Adidas, IKEA, etc. Among them, Adidas and IKEA are entering the domestic market for the first time, and this time they are basically testing the waters.
These are all third-party brands, which are equivalent to renting stores in Oriental Times Mall to sell their own products.
"Mr. Li!"
Seeing Li Dongling arriving, Zhang Haixia, general manager of Oriental Times Mall, hurriedly greeted him.
Zhang Haixia is a veteran in the domestic shopping mall industry. She was one of the first people to join domestic shopping malls. She has worked in shopping malls in Shanghai, Pengcheng, Yanjing and other places, and has operated many shopping malls. She is a quite experienced industry veteran.
But even Zhang Haixia felt a little overwhelmed this time. The Oriental Times Mall project this time was too big, and the brands involved were all over the country and overseas. It was the first time for Zhang Haixia to encounter a plate of this size. It made him It’s also stressful.
Zhang Haixia was originally a fat man, but during this time, his belly, which was originally shy, began to shrink. You can imagine how stressed he was.
With such a big deal, one careless move can become a classic negative example in the domestic shopping mall industry. Zhang Haixia does not want to become a negative example, otherwise he will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Even though Zhang Haixia hasn't thought that far yet, if the Oriental Times Mall screws up, he, the general manager, will definitely have to take the blame. His entire career will be over, and no mall will dare to hire him anymore.
Walking in the shopping mall, Li Dongling looked in front of him. It was somewhat similar to the modern shopping mall in his previous life, which made him sigh softly.
"How are the preparations going now?" Li Dongling asked Zhang Haixia.
Zhang Haixia did not dare to neglect Li Dongling. As the general manager of Oriental Times Mall, he naturally knew who the major shareholder of Oriental Times Mall was.
The equity of Oriental Times Mall is now mainly composed of three companies. The largest shareholder is Dongling Hi-Tech, which holds 55% of the equity of Oriental Times Mall Company.
Li Dongshan is the second largest shareholder, holding 30% of the shares, and the remaining 15% is divided among Li Dongyue, Li Zhenlin, Wang Xiulan and other Li family members.
It can be said that Oriental Times Mall belongs to the Li family. For Oriental Times Mall, Li Dongshan is mainly at the helm.
But in the face of the real major shareholder of Oriental Times Mall, Zhang Haixia did not dare to show any slights. Li Dongshan had an honest and honest character, but he would not be lenient when it came to people who were being unfaithful to the Li family.
"We are currently doing the last inspection and are ready to start trial operation!"
Zhang Haixia said to Li Dongling that it had been prepared for so long, and whether it was a mule or a horse, you had to take it out for a walk to find out.
Li Dongling walked around the mall and saw the goods in the mall. Compared with the mall in the previous life, the products and fashion trends of the Oriental Times Mall are definitely not as good as now, but compared with other malls, they are obviously one dimension stronger. .
“What about the overall product price?”
Li Dongling asked as he walked towards the management office area at the back of the mall.
Regardless of whether it is the past life, the present, or the future, major shopping malls at home and abroad will hold special discounts and large discounts when they open, using eye-catching prices to attract an influx of customers.
“Our self-operated stores, including comprehensive supermarkets, medical supermarkets, etc., will give preferential prices on the opening day.
Domestic brands such as Changhong and Haier in Oriental Times Mall also promised to cooperate with us and sell at cost price on that day.
But after all, the positioning of Oriental Times Mall is not a discount mall, so we cannot build the brand of a low-price mall! ”
Zhang Haixia said that the positioning of Oriental Times Mall is different from the current domestic shopping malls that are involved in price wars. It focuses on high cost performance.
That is to say, genuine products are sold, and the supply chain is strictly audited. The goods sold from Oriental Times Mall must be genuine.
In the Oriental Times Mall, users can experience a top-notch shopping experience. Although it does not mean that they really treat customers like gods, they will also make them feel at home. In addition, in terms of after-sales and other aspects, Oriental Times Mall is preparing to become a domestic ceiling benchmark.
Therefore, the things sold in Oriental Times Mall cannot be sold at bargain prices. If you want to buy good things, buy high-quality products, and get a high-level shopping experience, you always need to pay for it!
However, Oriental Times Mall is not planning to cut leeks or anything like that. Instead, it wants to make it a cost-effective shopping mall where you get what you pay for. You may not be able to get much advantage when buying goods here, but you will definitely not be able to eat them. deficit.
Li Dongling nodded after listening to Zhang Xiahai's words, but still said, "On the day of the trial opening, try to launch some special products, and prepare generous gifts for the lottery!"
The Oriental Times Mall is about to open, and the massive publicity coincides with the New Year. When the time comes, it will definitely attract a lot of people to enter.
Not to mention lottery draws and the like, there are always some special products to be launched so that people who come will not leave empty-handed.
"I understand!"
Zhang Xiahai hesitated for a moment, then answered.
When Li Dongling came to the office area of Oriental Times Mall, people inside, also wearing mall clothes, were busy.
"The leaders of Yao City and Pingyang City Government are here!"
After a while, people from Oriental Times Mall hurried in to report to Zhang Xiahai, and Li Dongling, Li Dongshan, Zhang Xiahai and others also went out to greet him.
"Yao City!"
Seeing Yao Zhengru's arrival, all the executives and staff of Oriental Times Mall also looked excited.
Before it even opened, Yao Zhengru rushed over with his troops, which showed that he attached great importance to Oriental Times Mall.
This is also good news for these employees. Knowing how deep the background of the shopping mall they join is, after all, no one wants to work in a grass-roots team that may collapse one day!
Since Yao Zhengru took office as the head of Pingyang, his evaluation has of course been mixed with praise and derogation, but the real evaluation of him will not be given by future generations until he leaves Pingyang and has passed a few years.
But now, in Pingyang, no matter how you evaluate him, it is clear that he is the most powerful person in Pingyang, and the entire Pingyang plan is implemented by him!
Yao Zhengru shook hands with Li Dongling and nodded slightly towards him. Behind Yao Zhengru, Gao Tianqing, the person in charge of Pingyang Industry and Commerce, and others also shook hands with Li Dongling one after another.
The atmosphere between the two parties was very harmonious. After all, who in Pingyang didn’t know that Oriental Times Mall belongs to the Li family.
As the largest taxpayer in Pingyang, Tanglin Hi-Tech also belongs to the Li family. The entire Pingyang city government has dealt with the Li family to some extent, so the relationship will naturally be good.
Moreover, it can be seen with the naked eye that the Li family, a local snake in Pingyang, will still exist for many, many years.
For the people in the Pingyang City Government, except for those like Yao Zhengru who are determined to be transferred, the rest of the Pingyang City Government employees have to deal with the Li family, a local gangster, for many years, so naturally they will not spoil the relationship between the two parties.
“I am here on behalf of Pingyang City Government!”
"Oriental Times Mall is the first international-level modern shopping mall in Binh Duong. Binh Duong City Government is fully supportive of it. No matter how much trouble there is, Binh Duong City Government will definitely help Oriental Times Mall solve it..."
After entering the office area of Oriental Times Mall, Yao Zhengru started to speak as usual. There was no camera nearby. These things will be released when news reports come out after the opening of Oriental Times Mall.
Basically, they are all routines to express Binh Duong City Government’s support for Oriental Times Mall.
You can say it is old-fashioned, but whether it is useful or not will have different effects in the eyes of different people!
When Binh Duong TV station and major newspapers in Binh Duong released this news, those who are interested can see the support, or endorsement, of Binh Duong City Government for Oriental Times Mall.
Within the Pingyang City Hall, no one will cause trouble for the Oriental Times Mall, and all kinds of monsters and monsters will not reach out to the Oriental Times Mall. This is the most important purpose of Yao Zhengru's coming here today!
After talking about the scene, Yao Zhengru asked the accompanying Pingyang City Government personnel and accompanying media reporters to leave, and then asked Li Dongling and Li Dongshan, "Is there anything that Pingyang City Hall needs to do?"
"Starting from today, Oriental Times Mall will launch a large-scale publicity, and some overseas stars will be invited to take the stage. By then, there may be a lot of people coming to Pingyang!" Li Dongling said to Yao Zhengru.
"A lot of people are coming?"
Yao Zhengru was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile. He didn't know what Li Dongling said about the number of people coming, but he still said to the chief secretary Chen Linfeng on the side, "You let the industry and commerce, transportation, police station and other Departments get ready.
We must maintain the order of the Oriental Times Mall on the opening day, and nothing can go wrong! ”
In Yao Zhengru's view, no matter how many people come, and given the limitations of current transportation methods, it can attract people from Binh Duong and neighboring provinces, the Oriental Times Mall can be said to be a great success.
It is impossible to attract users from Yanjing, Shanghai, and even overseas to Pingyang. Such a thing has never happened in China...
Li Dongling was about to talk again, but Yao Zhengru had already asked everyone else, including Chen Linfeng, to leave, and then told Li Dongling another thing, which surprised Li Dongling.
"If it happens in the second half of next year, I will be transferred out of Pingyang!"
After the others left, Yao Zhengru and Li Dongling were the only two people left in the office. Yao Zhengru, who had always been elegant, also relaxed, took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one, and pushed the rest in front of Li Dongling.
The black package of cigarettes has no brand, but it can be taken out by Yao Zhengru. It doesn't take much to know that it is a special supply that is not circulating in the market.
Yao Zhengru is not a big smoker, but he likes to smoke one when something happens, which can relax his tense spirit a little.
"Deployed to where?"
Li Dongling also frowned and asked.
