Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 894 is mainly about people.

Chen Hui said, "Use the third floor? Use both the second and third floors? Where will the warehouse be? Or how about we use the fourth floor, let them work on one side, squeeze the trade city in there, and use the other side as warehouse? That should be enough."

Xiao Wei said, "We'll put the main items like clothes and hats on the second floor, home appliances on the first floor, and imported goods on the third floor. Let Manager Zhang arrange the specifics. We'll also rent out some items on the second floor and sell them together, which will give us a chance to compete. We can use the fourth floor for the warehouse, and we can also partition off some space on the third floor. Anyway, it's only for two years, at most two and a half years."

Chen Hui said, "Okay, let's go talk to Lao Zhang in a bit. We'll get ready here and start moving. We'll move the warehouse goods first, then move them floor by floor. Should we call the gates on both sides?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let's hang up a large poster to let people know, since we're not far apart, face to face anyway."

Chen Hui pointed to a jewelry store not far away and said, "The kind you see?" Everyone turned to look, and above the entrance of a Zhufu Gold store on the pedestrian street hung a huge banner: "Jewelry and Gold are True Love." (Do old Fengtian residents still remember this guy?)

Huang Laowu laughed and said, "This is too ingenious! Is it okay to be so blatantly naked?"

Xiao Wei said, "What's good or bad? As long as it attracts people, that's good."

Chen Hui asked, "Is Manager Zhang here?"

Xiao Wei said, "Everyone's here. Deputy Manager Liu went over there. I just came out of the trade city."

Li Xing asked, "The pedestrians are here?"

Xiao Wei said, "They're here. They're really professional. They can tell the approximate amount after just one look. They said they'll have the results tomorrow."

Chen Hui said, "Nonsense, investigating commercial banks can uncover tens or hundreds of billions of yuan. If you don't have the ability, you'd have to investigate for your entire life. Has Liang Gao come yet?"

Xiao Wei said, "He wasn't here just now, I don't know if he's arrived yet. Don't always call people by their full names, would it kill you to just call him Lawyer Liang? It sounds really bad to people."

Chen Hui said, "I've known him for over ten years. You have no idea what he's like with me. We don't have any hierarchy between us, so you don't need to worry about it. Just don't call him that."

Xiao Wei asked, "Has he been working in the power industry for years?"

Chen Hui said, "He's only been a lawyer for a few years. He comes from an electrical industry family; otherwise, how could he have gotten such a good position?"

After finishing their meal, the group came out of Laobian. Xiaowei asked Li Xing, "Did the three of you come here for anything else?"

Li Xing said, "It's nothing, we just happened to have some time, so we came over to kill some rich guys. You guys go about your business, we'll just follow along and learn."

Xiao Wei said to Huang Laowu, "Don't rush things here. Get things settled in Longcheng, and you can come over after the New Year. If Lao Hou can't manage on his own, find a manager. You guys can discuss it. I'll have Dawei take charge here first and get the setup up and running."

Huang Laowu asked, "What do you manage?"

Xiao Wei said, "All the company's properties and independent shopping malls, here, Andong Dalian, Xidu Ice City, Xingcheng, including those to be built in the future, will always be short of people. We'll have to keep training and sending people out, and we'll have to supervise, inspect, and remotely command. There's actually a lot to do in this area."

There's less to do at the shopping mall, but more and more complicated matters in residential areas. However, our company won't be handling too many residential areas in the future; we'll mainly be dealing with commercial properties, involving sanitation, rental management, and security. Think about it over a while.

After crossing the street, it was just a few steps to the trade city. Xiao Wei asked the security guard at the entrance to go up and call Manager Zhang, too lazy to climb up again.

A short while later, Manager Zhang came down with security personnel: "Manager Zhang, Manager Chen, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wei pointed to the other side: "Let's take a look over there."

The six people crossed the intersection again and came here. Manager Zhang said, "This cake shop is good. My daughter especially likes it. Every time we come here, she has to buy a piece or eat a piece."

Xiao Wei said, "What do you think about moving the trade city here? What do you think?"

Manager Zhang said, "Hmm, I've been here, and it seems the upstairs area isn't open yet. The rent here isn't low, and the first floor is the Liberty Shopping Mall. Is it feasible?"

Xiao Wei said, "There will be more and more independent shopping malls in the future. It's a good time to compete, see where we're lacking, and where we need to make adjustments, so we won't suffer losses when we go out to explore. What do you think?"

Upon entering, the group went straight to the second floor. Manager Zhang said, "The single-floor area here is larger than ours, but it's still less. Two floors are less than 6,000 square meters, while ours is over 10,000. How can we use it? And it also depends on how the rent is calculated. These four floors are basically a waste. How can an office use that much space? The designer didn't think it through."

Chen Hui laughed heartily and patted Xiao Wei's shoulder hard.

Manager Zhang asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Manager Chen, what are you laughing at?"

Chen Hui said, "He made the decision. This is the first time someone has ever criticized something he made."

Xiao Wei said, "Initially, we mainly considered that since two companies would be located here, with various departments and meeting rooms, we needed an employee activity center, a place to rest, relax, and have some fun. So we simply used the entire fourth floor, since it's going to be a free market anyway. I never expected this to happen today."

Manager Zhang was taken aback: "This is our area!"

Chen Hui said, "Yes, we bought six old buildings to renovate, and this is one of them. The land we bought here is about 200 meters from here. After that is built, you can move to the other side. There is enough space for you to use. It is more than 40,000 square meters per floor, and we plan to build a five-story commercial building with more than 200,000 square meters."

Xiao Wei said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. It can't all be a shopping mall. We'll have to see the design from the design institute. I plan to add some entertainment facilities, and a self-service supermarket will definitely be included. However, it will definitely be much bigger than the current trade city. I'll talk to Manager Zhang and you guys about this once the blueprints are ready. Let's think about how to use this area first."

Motorcycles, bicycles, building materials, lighting fixtures, hardware, and general merchandise won't be brought in here. We'll focus on clothing, shoes, and cosmetics first. Actually, the fourth floor could be used too. We could put their offices in one end, and you guys could squeeze in, and the remaining rooms could be used for selling things, or even as storage.

The group went straight up to the fourth floor.

There aren't many people working here. The cake shop has a few more people, but only seven or eight. The food factory handles the deliveries. We just need to do the accounting here. We don't need any equipment or anything. This place is mainly for site selection and management, so we don't need too many people for now.

There are five or six people at the Liberty Mall, handling rentals, collecting payments, and management. The managers from other malls are all at their respective workplaces and don't come here.

Manager Zhang said with a smile, "Your company is the most luxurious in Fengtian. A dozen or so people share an office of more than 2,000 square meters, and there are even two bathrooms."

Everyone laughed, and Xiao Wei said, "Let's get everyone together. You can decide how to use it, as long as it's not a major modification."
