Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 1008
Wash and go to bed.

The two embraced each other on the bed, and Sophie leaned in Zhao Dong's arms, and suddenly asked something serious, "By the way, I didn't see you mentioning it. How is the situation over there on the first day of work? Can you handle it?"

Zhao Dong froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, "It's okay."

Afraid that Sophie would be worried, he briefly introduced the situation there.

As for the misunderstanding, he deliberately avoided it.

Firstly, the explanation is not clear, and secondly, this matter is disgraceful.

Sophie was not surprised, she mentioned a few words to Zhao Dong, "Zhao Dong, I'm not in a position to take sides in this matter, so I'm not in a position to say anything to you."

"What about you, what is your plan?"

Zhao Dong rubbed her shoulders, "How can I plan? I have already promised with your father that the monthly profit of 500 million yuan will be repaid. If it cannot be fulfilled, your father will not punish me?"

Sophie was a little worried, "Then you just want to offend my uncle?"

The reason why I didn't want Zhao Dongjuan to come in was because I was afraid of encountering such a situation.

The matter between the Su family and the Wu family is too complicated.

Interests and grievances are involved, sometimes even she herself can't explain clearly.

Zhao Dong comforted: "Don't worry, you have already spoken, how dare I offend uncle?"

"Just don't waste my uncle's interests!"

Sophie had a half-smile, "What's the matter, what do you mean, do you want to make up the gap by yourself?"

Zhao Dong hurriedly sat up straight, "Don't look at me like that, how can I have that ability?"

"Cathay Pacific's accounts are clear and watery, and the monthly turnover is only hundreds of thousands."

"Even if I want to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, I don't have the ability!"

With Sophie's business acumen, she quickly understood, she stared at Zhao Dong, "Then you mean, you want to make a fuss in the mall?"

Zhao Dong nodded, "I have such a plan, but I haven't made up my mind yet. In the past few days, I will hold back and find out the details of the mall first."

Sophie was a little worried, "Zhao Dong, I won't hide it from you."

"The business model and operating model of large shopping malls have fully matured in China, and the market is approaching saturation."

"Although I'm not familiar with the details of this shopping mall in Xiaoshi, it's just a shopping mall, and I know everything about it."

"I'll take Su's Spring Department Store as an example. It's the operation mode of joint operation deduction points."

“化妆品在15到27个点；箱包在20到30个点；珠宝6到30个点；钟表10到22个点；服装类品牌溢价高，能拿到23到30；至于皮鞋、皮具也不低，在20到28左右。”

"The above are slightly different according to the size of the brand and the profit of the category."

Zhao Dong was dumbfounded when he saw that she was like a treasure.

Sophie teased, "What's the matter, do you really think your wife is a vase, because of the Su family's relationship, I can gain a firm foothold in the Su family?"

Zhao Dong put his arms around him, "Who said that? My wife is the real thing, she is a strong business woman!"

Sophie pushed him away with a slightly serious tone, "Zhao Dong, I'm not kidding you!"

"Let me tell you this, based on the flow of people over there in Xiaoshi, I estimate the daily turnover to be around 200 million."

"Now the profit of the entity is thin, and it is estimated that there will be 25 points when it is balanced."

"That is to say, the daily profit is 50."

"That's not counting operating costs, maintenance costs, people and utilities and things like that."

"My father asked you to pay back 500 million yuan a month, which is equivalent to taking half of Xiaoshi's profits. This is simply impossible!"

"Especially in recent years, it's not easy to do entity business. If you want to help Xiaoshi expand its business, that's even more impossible!"

Zhao Dong didn't speak, and was silent for a moment.

Sophie noticed that her tone was wrong, and hurriedly apologized, "Zhao Dong, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, it's not that I don't believe in your ability."

Zhao Dong smiled, "Okay, do you need to explain to me? Let's chat, I know you care about me."

Sophie asked again, "Are you not angry?"

Zhao Dong said firmly: "I'm really not angry, you continue!"

Sophie didn't want to discourage Zhao Dong's enthusiasm, but she didn't want Zhao Dong to fall into the quagmire.

After pondering over her wording, she said softly, "Zhao Dong, think about it, you don't have relevant work experience at all."

"Just three months into this industry, do you think it's possible for you to increase the profit of a mature large shopping mall by [-]%?"

Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, and admitted honestly: "It's a bit difficult."

Sophie breathed a sigh of relief, "And the most important thing, even if you can do it, why should the Wu family entrust you with the operation and decision-making of the mall?"

"Why did this matter drag on for so many years?"

"Let me tell you this, the Wu family is not short of money, and my little uncle's focus in Tianzhou is not in this shopping mall at all."

"He has his own property in Tianzhou, and a cousin of mine is managing the shopping mall."

"The reason why I'm spending time with the Su family is because I don't want to follow my father's wishes!"

"I don't know much about what's going on here, and it's hard to explain it to you."

"In short, let me just say, this task is impossible to complete, my father is deliberately making things difficult for you!"

"Zhao Dong, you listen to me, you don't need to worry about this matter, just focus on Cathay Pacific."

"If my father asks, you can do it perfunctorily, and leave the rest to me!"

"Doesn't he just want money? If Xiaodai can't get it, then I'll help him earn money from the Su family!"

Zhao Dong was disturbed, and he wanted to argue, but he held back the words, "Okay, I see, I know it."

He knew that Sophie cared about him, and he also knew that Sophie had this ability.

But in the face of his father-in-law's test, he had to rely on Sophie's help to pass the test?

What should Su Changtian think of him then?What should the Su family think of him?

After getting married, this was the first time that Zhao Dong had a disagreement with Sophie, but he didn't know how to express it.

Firstly, I was afraid of quarreling, and secondly, I was afraid of ruining the rare atmosphere.

Especially what Sophie just said is reasonable, how should he object?

Caught in wild thoughts, Sophie fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Dong was disturbed, but he lost sleepiness.

After covering Sophie with a quilt, she pushed open the sliding door of the balcony, and stood alone in the night.

In fact, Zhao Dong already had a preliminary plan on how to solve this matter.

However, he hasn't figured out where to start yet.

According to the previous plan, Zhao Dong wanted to discuss this idea with Sophie when the time was right.

Now, Zhao Dong changed his mind again.

Among other things, even Sophie didn't believe that he had the ability to accomplish such a thing.

Why should he expect the people of the Su family to think highly of him?
And why did Su Changtian entrust his daughter to him at ease?
Zhao Dong has never admitted defeat, he is unwilling to admit defeat, and he does not want to admit defeat.

He intends to do this himself.

That's right, he is indeed a layman when it comes to shopping malls.

But doing business in China is half business and half transaction.

What Su Changtian was able to do back then, how could he, Zhao Dong, not be able to do now?

Just as he was thinking, there was movement not far away that caught Zhao Dong's attention!
