Chapter 654 Taking a Beautiful Girl to a Shop
The economic development of Qingpu Town, where Chen Feng’s family is located, is relatively good. Among the more than a dozen towns in the county, it is at a medium level.
Of course, there is contrast.
Lin Nan is among the lowest GDP among more than a dozen counties and cities in Lu City.
However, Lu City is a second-tier city in China and an open coastal city. Therefore, looking at all counties and cities across the country, the overall economic strength is still acceptable, at least at an above-average level.
The same goes for Qingpu Town. Among all towns and villages in the country, it is also at the upper-middle level.
However, Yuelou Town is an economically strong town, ranking second among all towns in the county in terms of economic strength. Jiangkou Town, which ranks first, can enter the top 100 in the country, and Yuelou Town, which ranks second, can enter the top 100 in the city. In the top ten, the province can enter the top 100.
Of course Qingpu Town is not ranked highly. Even though the two towns are adjacent, the gap in economic strength is still quite obvious. This can be seen from the luxury cars filling the streets in Yuelou Town and the rows of shops and large supermarkets.
This is also the fundamental reason why Chen Feng planned to open the jewelry store in Yuelou Town from the beginning, otherwise there would be no reason not to open it in Qingpu Town.
His main purpose of opening a jewelry store is not to make money, but he doesn't want to lose money either.
If you open a jewelry store in Qingpu Town, there is a high probability that it will lose money. If you open it in Yuelou Town, let alone making money, at least the possibility of losing money will be greatly reduced.
Chen Feng had originally planned to come to Yuelou Town to look for suitable shops today, so it was okay to bring Zhao Zixuan, an old classmate, with him temporarily.
As long as Zhao Zixuan is with Chen Feng and looks for possible breakthroughs, she doesn't care much whether Chen Feng takes her for a walk in Qingpu Town or Yuelou Town.
In less than ten minutes, Chen Feng's car drove to Zhenxing Road, the most prosperous street in Yuelou Town. It is nearly three kilometers long and is divided into West Road and East Road. A large carousel is the dividing point. On the large carousel is a small square, a fountain and a tall lighthouse, which is regarded as a landmark building in Yuelou Town.
On both sides of this long street are a variety of shops, large and small, most of which are daily miscellaneous small commodity sample shops. The pillar industry of Yuelou Town is the various small commodities behind these sample shops. workshop.
Chen Feng's car was parked in a roadside parking space near the big roundabout. There were many vehicles here, and it was not easy to find a parking space.
When the two got off the car, Zhao Zixuan looked around with a curious look on his face and said in surprise: "Yuelou Town is developing very well now. There are so many shops and the environment is very good. The floor is very clean, and the shop fronts are also very standard. The parking of vehicles is also very neat, which is completely different from what I imagined."
Chen Feng said casually: "These are all due to the fines imposed by the sanitation workers and the traffic police."
Zhao Zixuan first. He was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
“You are right, just like Singapore, as long as there are strict laws, the quality of the people and the urban environment will naturally improve.”
Chen Feng did not answer the call, but started looking for a real estate agency he had seen before.
On this revitalization road, there are all kinds of shops, and it is normal to have a housing agency.
A few minutes later, Chen Feng arrived at the door of the agency and walked in.
Sitting inside was a middle-aged uncle, who looked like a local.
Chen Feng told him about his search for a store and asked if there was a suitable store, at least 100 square meters, located in a busy area with a high flow of people.
If the conditions are right, it would be best if the other party can sell it. If not, at least it can be rented for a long time.
As soon as the middle-aged uncle saw Chen Feng's posture, he opened his mouth to buy a store. He knew that a big customer was here, and immediately enthusiastically introduced Chen Feng to several store information he had on hand, two of which were on this street.
The other three were in other places and were rejected directly by Chen Feng.
Chen Feng was taken by this middle-aged agent to see two stores on this street. One of them was almost 80 square meters and was renovated from a three-story floor-to-ceiling house. The front and back of the building are connected. It is relatively long in depth, almost thirty meters, but relatively narrow, just over three meters to less than four meters.
After Chen Feng saw it, he rejected it directly.
The other one is large enough, 120 square meters, and has two rooms connected together, which can be separated and connected.
It’s just that the original building here was also renovated from a floor-to-ceiling house, and there are still two old buildings that look like they were built in the 1980s. Although the exterior walls have been repaired and beautified, they still look a bit dated and Low, if a brand jewelry store is opened here, it feels like the grade will be lowered by two levels.
In the end, Chen Feng didn't like either of these two stores. The middle-aged agent didn't have any other properties, so he could only add his contact information and notify Chen Feng when a property became available.
After separating from the agency, Zhao Zixuan said: "I think the second store is pretty good. The store is quite big and the location is good. There is a vegetable market not far away."
Chen Feng explained Said: "The jewelry store I opened is under the brand Zhao Shengsheng. The price of jewelry at this store is generally higher than that of other major domestic jewelry brands, and it looks a bit high-end. If it is located near a vegetable market, and the store was renovated from a private house in the 1980s or 1990s, you would think it is high-end. Can you get up?”
"It turns out to be Zhao Shengsheng. This brand of jewelry is indeed more expensive, but I heard that the quality and style are very good. You are right. If you open the store here, it is not very suitable. It must be opened in a way that looks good. There are some high-end places. Is there a high-end place with relatively high consumption in Yuelou Town?”
When Chen Feng heard what she said, he suddenly remembered a large-scale restaurant in Yuelou Town that only opened two years ago. Come to the mall.
This shopping mall is called Baijia Plaza. It was said that it was built with an investment of more than one billion yuan. At the beginning, there were not many brand merchants settled in it, and there was not much customer flow.
But after two years, the passenger flow of Baijia Plaza has increased. When he went home last time, Chen Feng heard his mother and sister-in-law mention that he was going to a restaurant in the mall over there. When buying vegetables from chain supermarkets, the prices are very cheap, much cheaper than at wet markets.
Therefore, in order to save money, many people now habitually go to the large supermarket in Baijia Plaza to buy food, which of course drives the passenger flow of the entire mall.
Of course, there are still big differences between a shopping mall and a supermarket, a supermarket and a jewelry store, but you can first go to see and inspect them on the spot.
So, Chen Feng took Zhao Zixuan and drove to Baijia Plaza. It was not very far from Zhenxing Road. Go straight for one kilometer and turn left for two kilometers.
This area used to be farmland, and it is adjacent to the old national highway, so transportation is very convenient.
Drive directly into the underground parking lot. There is no charge. Take the elevator from the parking lot to the first floor. The area inside is very large and the decoration is very good. It is not much worse than a certain shopping mall.
Walking around on the first floor, there are several well-known brand stores, such as Adidas and Nike, and there are also three jewelry stores. The most famous one is the Fu series, and the other two are second-tier brands, which is a bit Famous, but obviously not as famous as the Zhao Shengsheng and Fu series.
This was within Chen Feng's expectation. Yuelou Town's economy is so developed that it is impossible not to have a jewelry brand store.
Walking around in these three stores, there were only a few customers. The attitude of the waiters was also a bit lukewarm, and their work enthusiasm seemed not very high.
Of course, this may be related to the fact that it is morning. Generally, the largest number of customers in these large shopping malls is in the afternoon and evening.
Chen Feng has nothing to do, so he plans to stay in this mall today to observe the customer flow here and the operating conditions of the three jewelry stores.
After visiting three jewelry stores, Zhao Zixuan said: "I think it is more appropriate to open a jewelry store here than on the street. I see that most of the brand jewelry are opened in these large shopping malls. Chen Feng nodded and said, "That's right. And there are not many places to choose from in Yuelou Town. This Baijia Plaza is the most prestigious place here."
Although Yuelou Town is economically developed, it is only a township after all. To have a large shopping mall like Baijia Plaza has surpassed at least 90% of the townships in the country. There is no other town in Yuelou Town than Baijia Plaza. Jiajia Plaza is an even more stylish place to open a store.
"So you plan to open a store here?" Zhao Zixuan asked.
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, we will open a store here." Chen Feng nodded.
He wanted to finish the business of opening the store as soon as possible so that he could go back to Xiuzhou and continue to live the carefree life of a carefree homesteader.
Zhao Zixuan suggested: "Then let's go and ask people in the shopping mall now. It seems that there are no extra stores here."
"Okay, I'll check online."
Chen Feng took out his mobile phone to check the contact number of the shopping mall here, and then found the person in charge of the shopping mall's investment promotion. After a while of communication, the two made an appointment to meet and talk right away.
The administrative department of the mall is on the third floor. You can easily find it by taking the elevator up.
In an office, Chen Feng and the two met the person in charge of the shopping mall named Li who was responsible for attracting foreign investment.
Chen Feng roughly explained his plan to open a store here. He needed a store of at least 100 square meters on the first floor. It didn't matter if it was bigger. It would be best if he could buy it directly.
The person in charge told him that all the shops on the first floor of the mall were sold out, but there were still some on the second and third floors.
But Chen Feng was not interested in the shops on the second and third floors, so he asked him if there were any that the owners wanted to resell.
After thinking for a while, the person in charge said: "There was an owner who told me that he wanted to change hands before, but then I lost contact with him. I don't know if he still has any intention in this regard."
Chen Feng immediately said: "Then please help me contact him to see if he has any intention of reselling?"
"Okay, let me contact you."
The person in charge was quite enthusiastic. He immediately found the mobile phone number and called it. After some inquiries, he nodded to Chen Feng with a smile and said, "The other party is interested. Transfer, but the price may not be too cheap, and the full payment must be made in one go. If you have no objection, I will give you his contact. You can talk to him over the phone.”
“I have no objection to paying the full amount in one go, and the price is not an issue, as long as his store suits my needs.”
“Then. Okay, I’ll give you his contact information.”
“Thanks, if the deal is concluded, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
It's not that Chen Feng is incapable of getting into trouble, it's just that his current status doesn't make it necessary.
If necessary, he still knows how to behave. The person in charge provided him with this information. If the negotiation is successful, it can be said that there is an agency fee left for him, whether it is the original owner or Chen Feng Everyone has to appreciate it.
“Haha, you are too polite.”
The person in charge named Li smiled and happily told him the contact information of the owner. In addition, at Chen Feng’s request, they also communicated with each other Contact information added.
This is also what the person in charge wants. He is responsible for the investment promotion work in the mall and knows many rich people. He must be friendly to make money and entertain enthusiastically. This is why he helped Chen Feng contact the owner. main reason.
If Chen Feng was just an ordinary businessman, or even if Chen Feng didn't mention buying a store, he might not be so enthusiastic about revealing the news.
In addition, Zhao Zixuan who follows Chen Feng is undoubtedly a big plus. With such a beautiful woman by his side, she is also dressed first-class. Of course, he does not dare to neglect her.
This is a very realistic materialistic society. Rich people are looked down upon wherever they go, and they can meet all kinds of enthusiastic and kind-hearted people.
After saying goodbye to the person in charge, Chen Feng called the owner.
After some communication, Chen Feng determined the specific location of the store in his hand. The other party asked Chen Feng to go and have a look first. If he felt it was suitable, he would contact him and discuss the price in detail.
Chen Feng agreed and took Zhao Zixuan downstairs to see the shop.
The location is on the left hand side as you enter the gate, about ten meters ahead, only separated by the store closest to the gate, which is the second store on the left.
Now this store is a women's clothing store. The store is very exquisitely decorated, with floor-to-ceiling windows, and there are all kinds of clothing that look very high-end at first glance. However, in fact, this women's clothing brand is not well-known. Chen Feng I searched online and found that although it has an English name, it is a clothing brand in Guangcheng. Although it has been around for some years, it is actually not related to Gaodaoshang.
This is the sadness and embarrassment of many domestic clothing brands. Although the styles, workmanship and quality are comparable to the world's first-class, they are not as popular as those foreign brands.
Even if you invest some advertising and publicity fees, it is difficult for this brand to compete with well-known foreign clothing.
This is the gap in heritage, the gap in popularity and recognition. Although it is helpless, this is the reality.
Chen Feng went into the women's clothing store to take a look. Zhao Zixuan originally just looked at it, but suddenly fell in love with a knitted dress and went to the fitting room to try on clothes.
A few minutes later she came out wearing this dress, stood in front of Chen Feng and turned around, smiling and asked: "How is it? Is it okay?"
Chen Feng commented sincerely: " You have a good figure and good looks, and you look good in any clothes."
Zhao Zixuan smiled happily.
The saleswoman on the side also complimented her at the right time: "Sir, your girlfriend is indeed very beautiful. This dress suits her very well and shows off her figure. You are so lucky, sir."
Chen Feng did not explain to the salesperson. Zhao Zixuan is not his girlfriend, so there is no need.
Zhao Zixuan also smiled and did not explain.
"Then I'll buy it." Zhao Zixuan said simply.
Chen Feng nodded indifferently: "As long as you like it."
This skirt is priced at NT$3,900. Compared to those internationally renowned brands, this price is nothing, but for domestic brands, it is really not cheap. It is equivalent to a month's salary for many people.
Zhao Zixuan bought it happily, making Chen Feng sigh that this woman is really rich now.
