Wen Zhichao used his house as a good advertisement, and his construction team became busy, constantly repairing other people's houses. Since the business was busy, he naturally opened this construction company, and he became the general manager, and other people took up different positions according to their merits and abilities.

Seeing that Wen Zhichao was also engaged in this line of work, Grandpa An couldn't help but give him some pointers. Wen Zhichao took note of everything.

Sometimes when Grandpa An is happy, he will take out his design drawings and talk about them. Many of these are drafts, which are some of Grandpa An’s ideas that have no chance to be put into practice because these are not ordinary houses, but relatively tall buildings, more suitable for places like department stores.

“These were all ideas I had when I was young, and I’ve been refining them over the years, but I’ve never had the chance to build them.”

The houses are not conventional in shape. Some look like birds, some use wave elements, and some use fire elements. Every time you look at the blueprints, you feel that they must be exquisite buildings.

Wen Zhichao was also very surprised when he saw the blueprints. Hearing Grandpa An's rather regretful tone, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart and said, "Don't worry, I will realize all these when I have the chance in the future."

Grandpa An smiled and said, "It's good that you have this intention. Building this kind of house is not profitable, so I just let you see it. I'm very happy that you can understand what I say."

These are like concept products. Ordinary concept products such as cars and mobile phones can be made, and for this building, it is enough to make a model.

Wen Zhichao didn't say much, he just felt that it was useless to say more, it would be better to wait and see the performance in the future.

After returning home, Wen Zhichao mentioned this to Xia Ruzheng. Xia Ruzheng thought about it and said, "It's a pity indeed. Those houses take up a lot of space."

"Yeah, it's not even suitable for an office building. Let alone living in it."

An idea flashed through Xia Ruzheng's mind. He had gone shopping in the mall with his daughter before, and the buildings there were quite eye-catching. However, he was afraid to go out at that time and didn't even take a second look.

"Instead of building an office building or residential buildings, how about building a shopping mall?"

"shopping mall?!"

"That's right! You build the building, and it's yours. You design the interior to look like shops, and you open all the shops inside. Which floor is a clothing store, which floor is a restaurant, which floor is a dim sum shop? You can design it like this!"

When I went shopping with my daughter, she was so excited, but I was so terrified and at a loss, I wanted to run home immediately. It really spoiled her fun! Not only did she buy me clothes, she even took me out to eat. There were even children playing with large toys in the mall. But I was so disappointed at that time. My daughter must have felt very upset. I yelled like a madman, "I want to go home!" How many people looked at me with disdain!

Now, it has become the most beautiful part that is hard to remember.

Wen Zhichao was attracted by the idea of ​​a shopping mall: "Isn't that a department store?"

"It's a bit like that, but not all the shops are mixed together. They are separated and basically all privately owned. The department store is entirely state-owned."

"It's almost like being a landlord. I provide the venue, they rent it, and then they sell things?"

"Is that right? Of course we can open our own shops there. You can sell clothes and I can open a restaurant."

Of course, later shopping malls basically opened stores in major cities after merchants signed entry contracts with major brands, and the stores still belonged to the shopping malls.

Wen Zhichao thought this idea was feasible. After all, as a landlord, all he had to do was sit back and collect the money.

However, achieving this is somewhat challenging, as it requires a large area, a good location, convenient transportation, and a central location. Furthermore, it would be ideal to build a commercial street and gardens alongside it, so the investment is substantial. This may require even greater investment than building a factory, and the risks are greater. If you can't find enough tenants, you could end up losing money. Therefore, choosing the right location is crucial.

Wen Zhichao discussed this matter with Grandpa An, who was very impressed by his idea: "Young people have quick minds. I never thought of that."

"This was Zheng Zheng's idea, and it's not my own credit." It's pointless to compete with your wife for credit, and Wen Zhichao is already in his thirties, so he can't be considered young. It can only be said that he is at the best age for a man.

Xia Ruzheng had just moved and was thinking about discussing with his family about bringing his father over.

The children were very excited about moving to a new home and were running around in the new house. Xia Jiani even slept with the baby for two nights. Both of them were very excited.

"Baby, your house is so big and beautiful, I'm so envious." Xia Jiani was quiet before she had Peng Yu, but now that she has a rare friend like Baby, she has opened up her heart.

"I think so too. If you like, you can come and stay with me often!"

"Um!"

Children are simple and don’t care so much. They don’t understand what such a big house means!

Xia Juaner and her daughter lived in their old courtyard, and Grandma Liu hadn't raised the rent, thinking their fate was truly lamentable. Xia Juaner was naturally grateful.

Now that the baby goes to school, Grandpa An often takes Dudu with him. This child is so talented that Grandpa An can’t let him go!

Xia Ruzheng feels very lucky that he doesn't need to worry too much about his two children.

After calling home, Xia Ruqian said that she had talked to Xia Chunfu, but Xia Chunfu was not very happy.
