Hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Lu Yuan nodded in understanding.
Although he came from a technologically advanced post-apocalyptic world where people might possess more advanced technologies and knowledge, he had never heard of such a business model and consumption scenario before.
In the apocalypse, everyone's mind is focused on escaping Earth and finding other more habitable planets; or racking their brains to figure out how to survive. Shopping and enjoying good food have become unattainable luxuries. In such harsh conditions, food is usually limited to monotonous compressed biscuits, and vegetables are barely available through hydroponics. Who has the leisure to think about shopping or savoring delicacies?
He was already looking forward to the opening of Qian Duoduo's shopping mall, hotel, and other properties. As he walked, he asked, "With such a large area here, can you fill it with all the merchants?"
Qian Duoduo looked at the elevator not far away and said, "Shall we go down and take a look?"
Lu Yuan nodded, and the three of them followed Qian Duoduo toward the elevator. Hu Da noticed that the palace servants here all had a similar temperament to him. He whispered in Zhang Tian's ear, "These workers all seem to have been soldiers."
Zhang Tian nodded. Having wandered around here for so long, he had already noticed that their pace and the efficiency of their movements had the characteristics of soldiers.
With a smile, Qian Duoduo led the three of them on a leisurely stroll through the shopping mall, where only the workers were walking around. Just then, a middle-aged man of medium build and slightly overweight spotted them from afar and waved enthusiastically in greeting.
Qian Duoduo looked closely and saw that it was Jiang Wude. She quickly responded to his greeting. Jiang Wude strode forward, his face beaming, and said to Qian Duoduo, "Chairman Qian, it's been a long time! What brings you here today to inspect our work?"
Qian Duoduo laughed and replied, "I was on a business trip for a while, and I just got back to Pengcheng. I thought I'd come over and take a look around, and see how things are here." After saying that, he introduced Engineer Jiang to the people next to him.
Engineer Jiang, standing to the side, smiled modestly and said, "Chairman Qian, you're too kind! The design drawings you gave us before were all finalized after careful consideration, and we've also held many meetings together to discuss them repeatedly. So as long as there are no mistakes during construction, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Qian Duoduo nodded slightly in agreement, then asked with a smile, "Oh? Is that so? So, is the project progressing smoothly so far?"
Upon hearing the question, Engineer Jiang quickly replied, "Oh, Mr. Qian, everything here is progressing very smoothly, so you can rest assured. However, I need to hurry up to the 18th floor to check on the progress of the VIP suite's renovation. Would you be interested in coming with me to take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo waved her hand gently, a smile playing on her lips, and said slowly, "We just came down from the top floor. The renovations there are indeed quite nice. But some decorations are still lacking. Let's meet again in a while to discuss and finalize the specific plan. After all, each suite needs to be a little different, so that the residents can feel its uniqueness and distinctiveness."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wude nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Alright, Chairman Qian! In that case, you go ahead with your work, I'll head upstairs now." With that, he turned and walked towards the stairwell.
At this moment, Qian Duoduo raised her wrist, glanced down at the watch Lu Yuan had given her when they got married, and then turned to Lu Yuan and said, "Let's go, let's go to the basement level together and take a look around. After we're done, we'll go straight back to the city."
Lu Yuan nodded in agreement. He had only come with his wife to handle some work matters today, and as for the two "Grandma Lius" following closely behind, looking around with great curiosity, he didn't even bother to glance at them!
The basement level was decorated in an extremely minimalist style, making the space feel exceptionally spacious. Standing at one end, one could see directly to the opposite wall without any obstruction. Lu Yuan vaguely remembered the scene before him, but it was a long time ago. Especially during the apocalypse he had experienced, such a large supermarket was a rare sight, something he could only glimpse in online materials or some history books. To witness such a scene in person now truly aroused his curiosity.
Qian Duoduo looked at the spacious area, which would eventually be used to display shelves and goods. In this era, there were no surveillance cameras or other monitoring devices. Considering the possibility of theft and damage to goods in the future, it was necessary to formulate a series of effective anti-theft and loss prevention measures in advance. However, he had not yet figured out how to minimize losses.
However, they had been here for quite some time, and it was almost time to meet Qian Xiang. So the group immediately drove back to Pengcheng city and headed straight for the restaurant that Qian Xiang had booked.
This restaurant specializes in local Shenzhen cuisine, and the food is quite delicious. When Qian Duoduo and Lu Yuan arrived, they found that Qian Xiang and the others were already there. Qian Xiang had informed the owner beforehand that there would be a large group for the meal. Therefore, the restaurant had specially joined several tables together in the main hall. After the group of twenty-odd people filed in and took their seats, the originally spacious restaurant was instantly packed, unable to accommodate any more guests.
