His expression froze for a moment. After taking two puffs of cigarette, Liu Changjiang pointed to Lu Yanhong beside him and said, "Go to the kitchen and cook some good dishes. Boss Zhao and I will have a few drinks today."
"Okay, I'll make dumplings for you two." After saying that, Lu Yanhong entered the kitchen.
Then, Liu Changjiang turned to Zhao Shanhe and said, "Boss Zhao, did you hear something?"
Now that Liu Changjiang had guessed it, Zhao Shanhe didn't want to go around in circles playing charades, and put out the cigarette butt in his hand, "Section Chief Liu, I heard that there are a lot of empty shops in the department store market, and we have to draw lots." Rental, I thought this matter is also related to my shopping mall, so I came to ask, what is the writing method here?"
"I received the notice about this matter just the day before yesterday. As you know, my superiors are stepping on me. Although I am a section chief, I am still restricted in my actions. There are some things that I didn't tell you in time. Don’t be surprised either.”
Liu Changjiang looked a little embarrassed. He also didn't expect Zhao Shanhe to be so well-informed.
The superior leader Qian Dingzhu and Wan asked that the news about the rental of the shop should be temporarily blocked this time to avoid causing commotion. He, the section chief, only got the news the day before yesterday, but Zhao Shanhe came today. This kid is really powerful!
"Chief Liu, what you said is unheard of. Don't worry too much. I came here today just to chat with you. If you are willing to talk, I will listen. If you don't want to talk..."
You took the money, but you don’t want to do the work?
A sharp light flashed in Zhao Shanhe's eyes, which made Liu Changjiang feel guilty.
This cannibal has a short mouth and a soft hand when taking people. Zhao Shanhe spent a lot of money to hit him hard, making his mouth full of oil, and he was too embarrassed to say anything.
"Hey, even though we were just chatting, we couldn't escape the rumor." Liu Changjiang continued after taking a sip of tea: "Actually, the superior leader had his own intentions at the beginning. He was also afraid that the business in the department store market would not be good, so he thought You took out a few stalls to test the waters. Now that your shopping mall is booming, it has brought the department store market to a climax..."
Zhao Shanhe understood and nodded immediately.
Liu Changjiang continued: "Nowadays, your shopping mall has become so big, and there are many people outside who are jealous. These days, I, the little section chief, can't collect more than four or five boxes of tea, all because of thinking. People who use connections to get a share of the department store market are like this at my place, let alone the superior leaders. I am afraid that the threshold of the office will be trampled, and those people also spent real money."
Zhao Shanhe nodded.
He had previously thought that after his shopping mall became prosperous, many people would follow suit, but these were all problems that money could solve. If he spent some money, he could solve the problem.
But he didn't expect that the momentum of the rich people in Nancheng would be so strong. Let's just talk about Zhou Jianguo, the director of a furniture factory. Although his momentum has dropped a lot in the past few years, he is still a famous figure in Nancheng. Even He even thought about competing for business in the department store market, let alone others.
This competitiveness is indeed a headache!
Zhao Shanhe put out his cigarette butt, "How many stores do the superiors in the department store market plan to open now?"
"12." Liu Changjiang said.
"12!" Zhao Shanhe was shocked and realized.
This horse-riding guy is trying to catch a duck!
They threw away so many shops at once, hoping to use the fire of the shopping mall to make the department store market prosperous, and they would make a lot of money.
Zhao Shanhe really didn't expect that the shopping mall he had worked so hard to build would be used as a stepping stone by these dogs.
He couldn't bear this!
"Section Chief Liu, tell me, I will never lose you. Tell me, how much do the upper-level leaders of the department store market want for these 12 stores?"
Liu Changjiang looked embarrassed, "Boss Zhao, I know what you mean. You want to take down all 12 shops in one fell swoop, but I don't think this will work. Those people outside are really rich in money." It was smashed in, and I also heard about it. The upper management has a big appetite this time, and I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for you to do it alone."
After Zhao Shanhe heard this, he grabbed a piece of candy on the table, tore off the wrapping paper and stuffed it into his mouth. The toffee was very sweet.
Liu Changjiang also noticed that he was a little unhappy, and immediately said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get these 12 shops, but I worked hard, and 3 shops can still be saved, but the price... will definitely be higher than the previous one." The second time is a little more expensive. It used to cost 1,500 per store, but now it is probably more than three times more. As you know, I have upper-level leaders stepping on my head. I could talk before, but now the department store market is so popular. I am The mind is full of energy but the energy is not enough.”
Zhao Shanhe expressed his understanding. Although the business of this department store market has gradually declined, it has a big tree and deep roots. Some of the upper-level leaders have dominated Nancheng for many years.
For Liu Changjiang, a small section chief, to try it, it would be to kill an egg with a stone. He couldn't just gamble with the black gauze hat on his head just for some benefits.
"Chief Liu, I'm not an unreasonable person. I understand your situation. It's just that this department store has borrowed a little bit of my limelight. Otherwise, it would be impossible to set the price so high. It's just three shops. I can’t eat enough!”
"Boss Zhao, I know what you're thinking, but it's really difficult. The money from the connections alone is enough to make your shopping center's profit for a year, plus the rent on the shop... I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. !”
This thing is too big. There are only 12 stores. The upper-level leaders of the department store market are so angry that they throw out so much and set the price so high. Obviously they want to increase their competitiveness and make a good profit. .
There are many rich people in Nancheng, but they are all focused on the department store market. If one person can compete with it, wouldn't it be an egg against a rock?
"Chief Liu, I want to book 12 stores in the department store." Zhao Shanhe's ambition was so big that it frightened Liu Changjiang.
Liu Changjiang shook his head and sighed one after another, looking uncertain and hesitant to speak.
"Boss Zhao, please think carefully. The rent this time is more than three times higher than last time. If we take over all 12 shops, even if we spend tens of thousands of dollars on it, we won't be able to see it all!"
Liu Changjiang has been in the department store market for so many years, and he has learned all the deep waters. The leaders of the department store market are wolves who eat people without spitting out their bones.
There was quite a fuss in Zhao Shanhe's shopping mall this time. Seeing that it had been open for several days, there was still an endless stream of customers, and the money seemed to be flowing in every day. Who wouldn't be jealous if he saw this?
If the leaders of the department store market can reach this position, they are all top-notch people. They have 108 hidden agendas in their hearts, and they are all secretly poking and opening their mouths, waiting for a huge sum of money!
