The Era of Hard Work

   Chapter 284 Brand

   On October 18th, the Double Ninth Festival, which happened to be Sunday, Quannan Qiansheng Shopping Center officially delivered the shopping malls and shops to the tenants, and also collected the rest of the rent owed.

  Du Xiaobing drove and took Lu Dong, Li Wenyue and Song Na to Quannan together.

   Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing went to go through the formalities, Song Na wanted to learn advanced experience on the pedestrian street, and Li Wenyue went to join in the fun on weekends.

  The girl is attentive. As soon as Li Wenyue got into the co-pilot, Song Na said, "Wenyue, I haven't seen you for a while, I'm fat."

   Lu Dong and Song Na were sitting in the back. He glanced at Li Wenyue and said, "It's better to be fat. When I was a child, I was as thin as a hemp pole. I won't pull it when there is a strong wind, it can be blown away by the wind."

  Du Xiaobing, who was wearing Nike, sped up his car and added a sentence: "Lu Dong, it's fortunate that you and Wen Yue are not brothers, otherwise people think that you often rob your brothers to eat."

   Li Wenyue answered: "At that time, Dongzi often brought me food."

  Du Xiaobing asked tacitly, "Eat bugs?"

  Song Na laughed cheerfully: "What does the leader of the Five Poison Sect eat if he doesn't eat worms?"

Lu Dong couldn't help but fight back: "Just right, there are still some places confiscated beans, one day I will catch a bean worm from the ground and cook it for you. It's all meat! "

  Song Na smiled and said, "It's not that I haven't eaten it."

  Du Xiaobing couldn't take it anymore: "I originally wanted to take you to eat something good at noon, so don't! Don't!"

   Lu Dong said: "Lao Du, I will be at your home in a while. Who will treat you if you don't?"

   Li Wenyue asked Du Xiaobing, "What's delicious in Quannan? Special delicacies?"

   "It's time-honored." Du Xiaobing has a deep memory of the time he spent with Lu Dong and Fang Yan at the Chunjiang Hotel: "Find a better hotel in a safe way, go to a big meal, I'll treat you, Lu Dong will pay the bill!"

  Song Na deliberately joked: "Lu Dong has never carried a wallet, Lao Du, you should say it before getting in the car."

   Came to the west gate of Quannan Road Pedestrian Street, the car parked in the parking lot in front of Sanlian Building as usual, and the underground parking lot of Qiansheng Shopping Center will be opened after a while.

  Lu Dong took Du Xiaobing and Li Wenyue to go through the formalities. Song Na saw the locations of the three future stores and walked to the Guihe Shopping Plaza to the east.

   Since the store opened this year, I have accompanied Lu Dong to read a lot. In addition to business and company management, I also asked Li Wenyue to borrow some foreign magazines from the Provincial University Library, focusing on reading those related to the business of Wenxin Warehouse.

  The Cozy Warehouse focuses on women's trinkets and boutique gifts, and Song Na naturally pays more attention to these.

   She has read a lot of information about Swarovski.

  The last time I read the newspaper, it was mentioned in the news that Swarovski opened the first store in Taidong in Guihe Shopping Plaza.

  Song Na wanted to go over there and see, why did foreigners sell artificial crystals as expensive as gold.

   Of course she knows that the warm warehouse is more than 108,000 miles away from others, but it can be used for reference in business.

  …

   In the office of Qiansheng Commercial Building, Lv Dong followed Manager Wang to get the documents, and asked Du Xiaobing and Li Wenyue to get the list and go to the bank to transfer money.

   When the two came back, Manager Wang took them to the first floor of the commercial building facing the street to see the store.

  The construction of the three shops has been completed. The floor is new white tiles, which do not need to be re-laid by the owners. The walls are painted with porcelain brushes and need to be properly decorated. The huge glass curtain wall is spotless, and there is a split glass door in the middle.

   Outside, the fence of the construction site is being removed, and the crowds who come and go shopping on weekends frequently pay attention.

  The shop not only has the outer door facing the pedestrian street, but also has the main aisle leading to the shop from the inner door, which is convenient for people to enter and exit.

   The 103 on the east side and the 102 in the middle are all over 300 square meters, and the 101 near the westernmost escalator is just 200 square meters.

  102 has three doors. Except for the front and rear doors, there is a door on the west side facing the escalator entrance, which is convenient for people taking the elevator to enter and exit.

  The location of the shop is impeccable, and the construction is in line with the promise. Lu Dong has inspected the house and read some documents, and directly signed the receipt of the lease contract.

   After finishing this, Song Na hasn't come back yet.

   Lu Dong simply took Du Xiaobing and Li Wenyue upstairs and downstairs to have a look.

   Exiting from the back door of the store, the other side of the main aisle of the mall was completely covered by a fence.

   Li Wenyue said, "This is the first store of Guangmei Electric Appliances?"

Lu Dong replied: "It's here." He turned around and pointed to the shops in the south: "Except for these, all the first and second floors are rented by Guangmei Electric Appliances, with a business area of ​​nearly 20,000 square meters! One year's rent is nothing. Tens of millions!"

   Li Wenyue praised: "Great work."

  Du Xiaobing said: "Opening here is to fight against Sanlian."

   Lu Dong told the truth: "In the short term, people in Quannan can save a lot of money by buying electrical appliances."

  Electrical appliances in shopping malls, it depends on the price in the end.

   Once Guangmei used price and service to beat the local snake like Sanlian abruptly.

   I don’t know if it is a chain reaction caused by the aggregation effect. Except for the two rented by Guangmei, the rest of the shops on the first floor of the commercial building are all restaurants.

  To the east of the shops on Guangmeichao Street are Aijia Beef Noodles, Xiaocheng Story Shandong Restaurant and Yonghe Soy Milk.

   Guangmei Electric Appliances on the first floor and second floor began to be renovated, and the RT-Mart supermarket on the third floor also had a banner. Except for the New Century Cinema on the fourth floor, the rest of the area was rented to a video game mall.

  In this situation, Qiansheng officially opened without crowds, and other commercial buildings on the pedestrian street can close their doors.

   Waiting for Song Na to come back, Du Xiaobing invited them to eat delicious food together. In the old house area behind, there is a very ordinary restaurant. The fried mushrooms and fried spicy chicken are excellent, and the taste is quite good.

   After eating, Lu Dong asked Song Na, "I took a look around, do you have any experience?"

  Song Na picked up a piece of fried mushroom: "If you want to make money and become bigger, you have to make a brand."

   Li Wenyue replied, "Your store is quite famous in the university town. I heard Yuan Jing say that when girls buy accessories, the first thing that comes to mind is the Warm Store."

   "Make a brand?" Du Xiaobing mentioned a key point: "Do you want to build a factory?"

  Lu Dong shook his head: "It's not necessary, just find a processing factory and OEM production. These little things don't have much technical content. Whether the price can be sold depends mainly on the brand."

Du Xiaobing said: "I heard from my sister that some of the computers and printers she sells are not from the brand, but are processed by people from Wanwan. It is said that computers of different brands may be the same Produced in the same factory in one factory."

Song Na said with a smile, "It's not easy for me to find someone to do the job. First of all, I have to increase the scale." She thought for a while: "When I open the second and third stores in the university town, It’s not too late to find an OEM.”

   Li Wenyue asked curiously: "Heidan, are you going to open a branch again?

"The second store in the university town is going to be opened between the Nanbian Institute of Clothing and Textiles and the Institute of Tourism. I am choosing a store." Song Na visited some time ago: "There are many girls in these two schools, accounting for more than half. I am still in the third store. We are looking for a place to visit, but we haven’t decided yet.”

   Li Wenyue asked deliberately: "Lu Dong, Song Na, I said you two are planning to grab the richest man in Qingzhao and the richest woman at the same time?"

Du Xiaobing said: "Don't say, just a few stores in our company, as well as the business of Internet cafes, I heard that Lv Dong still has 10% shares in your village food company, if you calculate the assets like this, maybe he can really become the richest man in Qingzhao. ."

   "Stop joking." Lu Dong was still quite sober: "How many years have the resin factories in the north of Qingzhao been in operation? This year, we are discussing cooperation with the Germans. It is said that we will build the largest artificial resin production plant in China."

Song Na and Lu Dong had a very tacit understanding: "There is a Li family in the mountains to the south. The coal mine where Su Xiaoshan used to work is now private. The largest coal mine in Qingzhao can be counted in the whole of Quannan. It is estimated that there is a resin factory in the south. Neither is the Li family rich."

   "That's true." Du Xiaobing has a lot of knowledge: "Comparing with anyone, don't compare money with those who have mines. The poor are left with mines and money."

Lv Dong suddenly remembered something. The large and small fertilizer plants that used to be in Qingzhao, as chemical companies, are big coal users. They have to use high-quality coal from Xishan Province. As a result, they owe a lot of coal money, and they were unable to repay their debts. Simply ask others to acquire and become the controlling shareholder.

  The topic of the four people turned back to the three stores in Sennan.

   "When will we open?" Du Xiaobing asked, "Open together?"

  Lu Dong said: "Let's start with the opening of Guangmei, and open the three stores together to make full use of the high popularity brought by the opening of Guangmei."

He simply said: "I have asked carefully, Guangmei opened earlier than RT-Mart on the third floor and the cinema on the fourth floor. As long as we walk in front of Guangmei, we can also go there because of the high heat when the latter two opened. Scratch."

  Du Xiaobing said: "This is called rubbing heat? It's a good idea!"

   Lu Dong said again: "Our store lacks popularity in Quannan, and it is a good opportunity for Guangmei and Sanlian to face thunder."

   After eating, the four of them went to see the house again. The company wanted to rent a house here as a temporary dormitory for the employees transferred from Qingzhao.

  The new store must be old and new. In order to make people familiar with the environment as soon as possible, when the people who thank the workers start to decorate, Lu Dong will send the old man over to familiarize themselves with the environment in advance.

  The house is on the west side of Quannan Pedestrian Street. It only takes about ten minutes to walk. The three-bedroom, one-hall, and two-bathroom layout can accommodate ten people.

"This is Du Juan's house." Du Xiaobing opened the door and led Lv Dong and the others around, and said, "Du Juan said that he would not charge rent, I think it's better to settle accounts between the companies and pay the normal price for a month. 300 yuan rent."

  Lu Dong nodded slightly: "Yes!" This is the central area of ​​Quannan, and the rent is not expensive. He added: "Give your sister a year's rent at a time."

  Song Na asked curiously, "Sister Du has a lot of houses."

   She remembered that Lu Dong had mentioned that Du Juan had bought dozens of houses at one time in Wenyuan, a school.

   Let’s not talk about it, for now, these houses are definitely making a lot of money.

  Du Xiaobing said: "Most of the money she earns has bought a house."

   After watching the group, they returned to Qiansheng Commercial Building. Xie Gong had already come over. Lv Dong told Xie Gong about the decoration. There was nothing special about it.

   As he was talking, through the glass curtain wall inside the shopping mall, Lv Dong saw people from Gome who had met once, and one of them was an acquaintance.
