Chapter 999: Worry-Relieving Grocery Store

The development of the construction industry in modern times has exceeded imagination. Coupled with the fact that the system's space world has a large amount of alien civilization technology, it has achieved even more amazing construction technology.

Because the current floor area has reached nearly 4,000 square meters, Suning has more than enough space to do what it wants, so it started demolition and construction without any consideration or worry.

Then, a skyscraper with a total of twelve floors underground and above ground was built in just three days, immediately shattering the three views of everyone in the city.

However, the reason why Suning can do it so quickly is because the main frame of the building is similar to building blocks, and basically one floor can be built in three or four hours.

Of course, the material is also the stainless steel core plate of top technology, which has the special advantages of high toughness and strong rigidity, and can definitely prevent a magnitude 9 earthquake.

In addition, all building materials can be taken directly from the space world, so there is naturally no need to go through the trouble of unnecessary transportation. This greatly shortens the construction time of the building.

Such a miraculous construction model immediately shocked the entire city of Beijing. Even the embassy staff of Western countries were stunned. In their opinion, this was a miracle beyond imagination.

"Andrian, how did you do this?" Vladimir, the manager of the Six Nations Hotel, looked at the skyscraper in front of him in amazement.

"Vladimir, our Su Group is a large group dedicated to research and development. Although it is not as well-known as those top international companies, its technological reserves are beyond imagination, and construction technology is also a major item of our group." At this time, Suning naturally explained to Vladimir proudly.

"That's incredible! At first I thought you would hire architects and construction workers from the city, but I didn't expect you to use your own construction team."

"Vladimir, to be honest, I don't have many options. After all, I'm not familiar with the city, so I can only trust my former employees more."

"Your consideration makes sense! I just wonder if you are willing to transfer this technology to us, the Soviet Union?" Vladimir then looked at Suning with an eager look on his face and asked.

"Not yet! After all, this construction technology involves many aspects. For example, building materials are the biggest hurdle. It can be said that it is still an immature technology in the experimental stage." Suning rejected Vladimir's fantasy with a curl of his lips.

"Andrian, as far as I know, technological research and development requires a huge amount of resources. Even the funding is a terrifying figure. If this construction technology is sold to the Soviet Union, it will definitely be quickly mastered by our Soviet technicians."

"That's a very good suggestion! However, our group hasn't encountered any difficulties with this project yet. For the time being, we really don't need your support from the Soviet Union. However, if there is an opportunity in the future, our group will naturally give it priority."

"Andrian, do you need to think about it more?" Seeing that Suning repeatedly rejected the olive branch he extended, Vladimir asked in frustration.

"Vladimir, thank you so much for your concern and selfless help! I've felt a deep sense of camaraderie from you, but our group truly doesn't need your support right now."

"Okay then! If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you must tell me. I still have a lot of influence in the Soviet Embassy." As the saying goes, even if the deal fails, the friendship remains. Vladimir still concealed his anger and said.

"Okay! I'll definitely trouble you if I need anything."

Suning would not transfer such advanced technology to the Soviet Union. Besides, the Soviet Union did not have the technology and funds that were worthy of its attention.

At the same time, although he knew that his rejection of Vladimir would definitely make the mysterious Vladimir angry, our protagonist Suning was not afraid at all.

Sure enough, Vladimir did not want to give up this advanced technology. Instead, he found Mu Chunhua, a peripheral person he had developed.

Vladimir looked at Mu Chunhua in front of him and said bluntly, "Mu Chunhua, I have an important task for you now. You must help me complete it as soon as possible."

"Manager, what kind of task is this?" Mu Chunhua looked at Vladimir in surprise and asked.

"I'm sure you've heard that Andrian built a building in just three days, so I want you to get this advanced construction technology as soon as possible. The rewards you can get will surely be incredible."

"Manager, Andrian doesn't let me get involved in what's going on there. My main job now is just to stay by his side."

"Idiot! Then start with his technicians. I don't believe his technical team is a dead end. I must obtain this amazing construction technology for the great Soviet Union."

"Okay! Manager, I can try."

Although Mu Chunhua accepted the task assigned by Vladimir, she did not have the determination to succeed at this time, because she realized that Suning only treated her as a vase.

……

It took three days to build the frame of the building, and another seven days were spent on finishing and decoration, so the total time spent on building the building was ten days.

Then Suning named the grocery store "Jieyou Grocery Store", but the nine-story hotel was named "Starry Sea".

Although Beijing is the political and cultural center of China, its understanding of "stars" and "sea" is quite one-sided, so Suning decorated the hotel with "stars" and "sea" as the theme.

Such a novel hotel naturally became a new landmark in Sijiu City, far surpassing the reputation of Liuguo Hotel and Sijiu City Hotel.

"Mr. Su, other people's hotels all have the theme of splendor and magnificence, but I didn't expect that you would take a different approach and come up with a 'sea of stars'. I really admire your design." Xian Dengkui looked at the nine-story building in front of him in shock, while Xian Yi on the side was stunned and speechless.

The decoration style above the head is like a sky full of stars, and there is a large water wall decorated with transparent glass. The water wall is full of deep-sea fish swimming freely, as if you are really in the vast starry sky and deep blue ocean.

"Haha, Boss Xian, I'm not bragging, but the construction teams under our group are all professional, far surpassing the level of those large international construction companies. We can cooperate on this in the future if we have the opportunity."

Listening to Su Ning's undisguised boasting and introduction, Xian Yi looked at the man in front of her with stars in her eyes, and couldn't help but have a very wonderful feeling in her heart.

"Mr. Su, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I'm not very interested in building skyscrapers, but I can introduce you to some clients in Hong Kong." At this time, Xian Dengkui unexpectedly rejected Su Ning because his business was still concentrated in black industries such as smuggling.

"Great! This 'Starry Sea' building is a living signboard of our group. You can definitely bring your partners to take a look."

"No problem! Mr. Su, I'd like to order another batch of penicillin. Do you have any stock left?"

"Yes! As much as you want! But I only accept gold, silver, or foreign currency."

“Can’t I use legal tender?”

"Haha, what do I need these waste papers for?"

"What about antiques, calligraphy and paintings?"

"Those are fine! But we also have a specialized authentication agency, so don't try to fool people with those imitations."

"Don't worry! There are never any fakes in my collection."

The "Jieyou Grocery Store" boasts a dazzling array of goods. Although Suning has always claimed to be solely engaged in wholesale, it ultimately couldn't resist expanding into retail. Suning didn't immediately recruit large numbers of workers in the city, instead handing the responsibility over to its own robotics team. After all, its own robots are truly the most suitable for this task at this stage.

The advanced cash register system, strict anti-theft alarm, and high-definition cameras throughout the "Jieyou Grocery Store" are all things that cannot be taught to the locals here immediately.

Then Suning held a one-month trial operation in advance. Every day, tens of thousands of adult customers came into the store, and all of them were shocked by the dazzling array of goods in front of them.

Because there were so many guests coming every day, in order to prevent stampedes and worry about theft, they were finally forced to implement a flow limit.

However, the flow-limiting strategy of the "Jieyou Grocery Store" still cannot extinguish the excitement of the old city, and a large number of residents still gather from all directions every day.

"Hey! Mr. Duo, who is the owner of this grocery store?" The patrolmen in the city of Sijiu who were in charge of public security watched silently from a distance, but there were always some strange noises.

"I heard that he is an overseas Chinese, and all the goods in the grocery store are shipped from abroad." Duo Ye looked at the mourning stick beside him without caring.

"Master Duo, do you think their boss is very rich?"

"Nonsense! How can such a scene be staged without money?"

"Damn it! This world is so unfair. Why can they be so rich? And why do we patrolmen have to protect them?"

"Mourning Stick, please don't let your mind wander. This grocery store is not one you can mess with."

"Master Duo, he's just an outsider with no roots. Letting him come here to pay tribute to us, the local tyrant, is showing respect to him."

"Okay! It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words! If you want to make trouble, don't drag me into it."

"Tsk! I think you are just a coward."

"Hmph!" Looking at the mourning stick whose eyes had been blinded by greed, Duo Ye did not care about the other party's sarcasm.

What these patrolmen in the old society often did was to extort money, but this Kusangbang was a guy with no bottom line. All the merchants near Qianmen had been extorted by him.

At the same time, the tolerance of these merchants towards the mourning sticks and the chaotic management of the Sijiucheng Police Department naturally contributed to the greed of the mourning sticks.

It can be seen that the business of "Jieyou Grocery Store" is booming. At the same time, Suning took over several stores, which also caused the depressed sticks to lose a lot of income, making some of the hunchbacks who are short of money jealous.

Suddenly, the mourning stick walked up to Su Ning with a playful smile and said, "Mr. Andrian, I am Sang Liuji, the chief of police of the Sijiu City Police Department."

"Sang Liuji? You are the famous mourning stick, right?"

"Ah? Mr. Andrian has heard of me?"

"Hmph! I've heard that the patrolmen in the Forbidden City love to extort money, and you, the mourning stick, are the worst offenders. Do you think I'm familiar with you?"

"Ah? These are just slanders from those villains. We patrol officers work so hard every day, and all we do is ask for a little hard work fee from merchants. I don't think there's anything wrong with that!"

"Crying Stick, are you planning to ask me for "hardship pay"?"

"Hey, Mr. Andrian, you're a big shot in business. It's not a big deal to give a little alms to poor people like us. What do you think?"

"Haha, that makes sense!" At this time, Suning was really amused by the mourning stick.

The Crying Stick in "Glorious Times" is a bastard who does all kinds of evil, but no one would have expected that the Crying Stick would be so bold.

At the same time, Suning did not expect that the first person to come and provoke him would be this ridiculous little person.

"Okay! Thank you very much, Mr. Adrian."

"Adong."

"Boss, what are your orders?"

"Find some people to break the limbs of this mourning stick."

"Yes! Boss."

"Huh? What are you doing? I'm the chief of police."

Adong and his companions ignored the appearance of the Weeping Stick's cowardice, and instead directly controlled the guy in front of them. They raised the electric batons in their hands and smashed the Weeping Stick's limbs.

"what……"

At this time, the howling of the mourning stick was deafening. Passers-by around looked here in surprise. Even patrolmen like Duo Ye were afraid and did not dare to step forward.

However, Duo Ye's avoidance did not result in Suning turning a blind eye. Instead, he walked straight towards Duo Ye who was not far away, "Duo Ye, right?"

"Ah? I dare not address you as Master in front of Mr. Andrian. Please tell me what you need."

"Here's one hundred dollars. This is my medical expenses for Weeper Stick. If you, the police department, want to seek justice for Weeper Stick, I, Andrian, will be there to fight you to the end."

"Ah? Don't dare! Don't dare! Let's take the mourning stick to the hospital now."

"Well, I'll trouble you, Mr. Duo and all the brothers. The extra hundred dollars is for tea money for the brothers."

"Thank you, Mr. Andrian."

Then, Duo Ye naturally took the two hundred yuan handed over by Suning without hesitation, and then asked a few patrolmen who were watching the excitement to carry the mourning stick with broken limbs and leave.
