Chapter 2461 Cargo Building

Chapter 2461 Department Store
"Beat someone?! Master hit a dog!" Master Xia's momentum remained undiminished, and he wanted to beat shopkeeper An together. "You don't want to slip past Wu Niang's matter!"

Seeing the dispute, Chen Lin couldn't go out for a while, so he stood still and waited for the situation to subside.

It's really not a big deal for a wealthy family to bully others and slap a bunch of guys.The guys in the store must be able to bear it first. From the beginning of being an apprentice, being beaten, scolded and bullied is commonplace.No matter how you are bullied, insulted or even beaten, you should greet them with a smile on your face.

Although shopkeeper An was born as a young merchant, he also learned business when he was young.It is common to encounter unreasonable customers when opening the planks to do business.In business and business, everyone pays attention to being harmonious and making money. When encountering customers in this way, they always persuade them with kind words, and endure a small loss without conflicting with the customers.But today's incident is too deceptive.He sneered:
"Wu Niang is not from my family. She has long legs and can go wherever she wants. Who do you want when you come to my place? Mr. Xia should go out to find someone quickly, don't waste time here and miss your home Master's business!"

Master Xia was furious, and shouted: "You old bastard! You think I don't know! Without the seduction and abduction of your bastard, Wu Niang would run away? If you don't have an explanation today, you can't even think about this shop. Go on!"

Shopkeeper An's face showed anger when he heard the words "slutty man", snorted coldly, and said, "This is not the land of the Ming Dynasty, so it's not your turn to play wild! Eighteen, blow the police whistle!"

The man responded, and immediately ran to the street, and after a while, a sharp whistle came from outside.

Master Xia's face suddenly changed, he turned around and was about to go out.Shopkeeper An blocked the door sideways, and said with a sneer, "Master Xia! The whistle is blown. After a while, the police will come, so I will close the shop and go to the bureau to discuss right and wrong! See if my shop can be opened." Yes! These two slaps were not in vain!"

Mr. Xia pushed and shoved, and wanted to leave, but shopkeeper An refused to let him go.He was in a hurry and shouted: "Hurry up!"

The servant slapped the head with a slap, and beat the shopkeeper An all over the place, and fell to the ground.Master Xia took advantage of this opening, rushed out the door, and the servant also jumped out and fled.

Seeing this, Chen Lin quickly ran out, helped shopkeeper An up, and said with concern: "Treasurer An! Don't worry, can you?"

Shopkeeper An shook his head, blinked his eyes twice, saw that it was Chen Lin, and said, "It doesn't matter to me, thank you brother..."

At this time, the clerk Shiba also came back, and the two supported shopkeeper An from left to right.Eighteenth said: "The police will be here soon..."

Before the words fell, there was already the sound of running iron shoes outside. Two patrolmen came in from the door of the store and asked, "What's going on?!"

Shopkeeper An immediately gave a brief account of the matter.The leading policeman said, "The person ran away?"

"Yes, but I know who he is..."

"In this case, you should go to the office first to make a record. We will summon the person tomorrow and then deal with it." The policeman looked at the situation in the store, "Who was the one who was beaten? Is it him?" He said with his chin He pointed at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin hurriedly said, "It's not me."

Shopkeeper An hurriedly said: "He is a customer, and he came to see the goods. This matter has nothing to do with him. The one who was beaten was a guy in the store, and he was resting behind. He was knocked out and couldn't get up."

"Send him to the health center, ask the doctor to take a look, issue a medical certificate and bring it to the police station tomorrow."

Chen Lin had seen a lot of Australian policemen in Guangzhou, but it was the first time to see the police handling cases directly.Quite fresh.I saw the two policemen working in an orderly manner, first surveying the scene, then questioning the people present one by one, and taking notes.It's just that the policeman who took the notes was really not very smart, and often asked the shopkeeper how to write a certain word.

After completing the records of the people in the store, the police called Chen Lin in for questioning.Shopkeeper An said: "He is a passing customer. He talked to me in the locker room just now and didn't come out. He didn't see anything..."

Chen Lin knew that it was shopkeeper An's good intentions, and he didn't want him to get into trouble.But what happened today, the person surnamed Xia was really deceiving people too much.Chen Lin insisted that he was a "guest of the elders", and he knew a little about the Australian police policy, so he said with emotion: "I saw it at the door when I was just now, and I'll give it as circumstantial evidence." Having said that, he drew a bet on the record again.

"I'll hear the news tomorrow." The policeman put the document into the file bag, "Come to the police station to deal with it. You, this..."

"My surname is Chen."

"I'm staying at the Jasmine Hotel, right? I won't be looking for you if there's nothing wrong. I'll send you a notice if I want to go to court—have you been in Lingao lately?"

"I'll definitely be there within three to five days." Chen Lin didn't know that such a matter would have to be "discussed", and he was somewhat nervous, "If there is a call, I will definitely be there."

The patrolman left, and Chen Lin saw that it was getting late, so he hurriedly left.Shopkeeper An felt a little guilty: "...disagreement has involved you."

"Don't talk about outsiders, we are a family. How can they be bullied for nothing! Besides, this is under the rule of the Australians, and they can't be allowed to show their prestige!"

Shopkeeper An smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that although my little brother came from the mainland, his thinking is very new! It really is a hero born a boy! Please come to the store to talk about it when you are free."

After being delayed by this incident, Chen Lin didn't dare to take a leisurely walk in the courtyard, and walked straight to the Friendship Department Store along the street.

This Friendship Department Store is one of the two major department stores in Lingao. Follow the road along the road, and soon you will come to the vicinity of Bopu Bay. You will see a circular square in front of you, paved with bricks and stones. It is flat, with a statue standing in the center, but it is a leaping image of a general in military uniform on horseback.Chen Lin was secretly curious, who is this person?Could it be a certain famous general of the Song Dynasty who walked over and saw the inscription below and realized that it was the portrait of General Han Fubo Ma Yuan.

By the way, the Australian army is the Fubo army, and this Qiongzhou capital was first naturalized by Ma Yuan crossing the sea.The Australians set up his statue is also of this origin.

This department store is at the southeast corner of the square. From a distance, there are crowds of people in front of the building, obviously the business is booming.The main building is only three storeys high. From architectural style to volume, it is roughly the same as the County Department Store in the 70s.However, in the eyes of most people in this time and space, this is already a "giant villa".Standing on the top of the building is a line of huge Song type characters: "Develop production and prosper the market".The huge font with the height of a person and the bright red color give people a strong visual impact from a distance.

The positioning of the Friendship Department Store is "popularization". According to Li Mei, it is the positioning of the "township gang" business.Because Bopu is located in the middle of the county and near the sea, most business travelers from other counties and the mainland to Laigao transfer vehicles and ships here.A large number of people flow and gather, naturally forming unlimited business opportunities.

Since we want to position ourselves as a "village gang" business, we should not be too concerned about "taste". It should not only make people feel "this is a big city", but also not be too luxurious and modern, making people think "this is not what I should go in. place" fear.Therefore, Li Mei rejected all kinds of high-end design proposals during the planning stage, and chose the simplest rectangular building with three floors.Various structures that the public buildings of the Senate like, such as the high atrium, the horse building, the roof garden, and the curved staircase are all used. Except for some decorations made of broken glass and sandblasting patterns on the walls, the whole building can be called Unpretentious.This disappointed Chen Lin who had seen the Great World and Longhaowan Hotel—it was too ordinary.

He walked leisurely in the building.The layout here is different from that of Guangzhou World.Guangzhou World is actually more similar to the shopping mall in the old time and space or the lower-end "market street".The Friendship Department Store is still a traditional counter store.The first floor is the tallest and brightest, with a floor height of nearly 5 meters.Although a large gas chandelier is installed here, large glass windows are used on the first floor to minimize potential safety hazards due to the crowds.The large floor-to-ceiling glass windows made up of countless grids each cover nearly ten square meters, trying to bring in natural light as much as possible and reduce the dependence on artificial lighting.

But this also brings side effects.Due to engineering considerations, a considerable part of these huge windows cannot be opened.Therefore, in summer, a large amount of scorching sunlight will enter the room, and the amount of ventilation is not enough to lower the indoor temperature.Considering the huge size of the department store, the various air-conditioning systems that the Senate can use are far from enough to cope.So for most of the year, awnings have to be propped up over the windows.

Only in this season, the sunlight streaming in through the huge windows feels comfortable.

The high-frequency consumption products sold on the first floor of the department store, Chen Lin does not know what "fast moving consumer goods" are, but from the counter layout and corresponding signboards, it can be seen that food, alcohol, tobacco, and candy are sold on the first floor , toiletries, hardware and daily necessities.Although there are many varieties, it can be called a dazzling array, but some "Australian products" that are familiar to Guangzhou people, such as "Guoshi Wushuang", "Nanhai Cigars", "Li Mushan Oolong" ... and other high-end consumer products are missing.Most of the products sold on the cabinet are low-end and mid-range products.

Even so, Chen Lin was still "shocked" by the wide variety of commodities here.Needless to say, there are more than ten different varieties of fermented bean curd sold on the food counter here.There are the simplest fermented bean curd, also wrapped with vegetable leaves, made with distiller's grains, with chili, fragrant, spicy, smelly, sweet...everything is available.And it's very convenient to buy. You don't need to bring your own containers for retail sales. There are special small bamboo oil waste baskets in the store.There is also a special gift package, and a delicate box will be put on the outside of the basket. There are paper, wood, and bamboo ones. They are beautiful to look at, but the price will also go up.

As expected, this Australian did his best when he was doing business.
