After playing for half a month, with school about to start, Shen Jize finally finished his work, took Lin Wei on a shopping spree, and then flew her back to the yarn factory dormitory in a helicopter.
When a helicopter hovers overhead in the alleyway, it's enough to attract the attention of many people around.
As she slowly landed, she attracted many people to stop and watch.
"Weiwei."
Uncle Li from the convenience store was the first to recognize her.
"Oh, it's you. That makes sense. Who else could sit here but you? How was the helicopter ride?"
"Afraid."
The captain flew very well; he was the one who flew the way there.
But when she came back, she didn't tell her that Shen Jize was driving.
How old is he? Even if he's been playing around for a long time, does he have enough driving experience?
Coupled with the other party's occasional teasing, Lin Wei was genuinely frightened, her heart pounding, and she wished she could slap the other party to calm herself down.
But seeing the other person's face, and then remembering that they had just recovered from a serious illness—
"Never mind, never mind."
The children in the alley heard the noise and immediately surrounded Lin Wei.
"Sister Weiwei, Sister Weiwei, is this a helicopter? How does it feel to ride in it?"
"Exciting!" Lin Wei didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "You're here just in time. Could you help me move my things to my house?"
"Okay, okay."
The children took turns carrying bags, and soon they had all the items in their hands.
After Shen Jize took the last item out of the helicopter, he told the captain to take the helicopter away immediately.
Back at Lin Xiaomeng's house, it was naturally deserted during the day.
After distributing the gifts to the children, Lin Wei coaxed them out.
"It's finally quiet. Too many children are no good; they're too noisy."
But sometimes it feels very lively and interesting.
Lin Wei liked it, and she knew Shen Jize liked it too.
Seeing the two about to part ways, Shen Jize asked, "Weiwei, why don't you move into my house and live with me?"
“I’m starting school soon, I’m going to register tomorrow, and you have so many things to do, what’s the difference between us living together and living separately?”
“The difference is huge,” Shen Jize said. “We used to study together and could spend time together in class, but now… Weiwei, we’re not only seeing each other once a week, are we? What if someone else runs off with you if we don’t see each other for a long time?”
"That's not the case. Everyone at school knows you, everyone knows you're my boyfriend. Who would dare to steal your girlfriend?"
He did have that much confidence. "That's true, but the thought of not seeing you every day inevitably makes me feel a little disappointed."
"Shen Jize, put your hand on your heart and tell me, if we lived together, would you really have time to see me every day?"
No.
Because he's going on a business trip to the mines tomorrow.
He hadn't been there for a long time; this trip would have taken at least a week, if not half a month.
So spending half a day being all lovey-dovey is just a waste of time.
"The mall will reopen tomorrow. I'll leave after my inspection."
"Classes officially start the day after tomorrow. I'll go check on the office tomorrow morning; I haven't seen it for half a month, so I don't know what it's like now. I'll go to the hotel in the afternoon; they were already finishing up when I left, and there's still a lot to do."
She didn't even know if she was busy enough. Speaking of which, Lin Wei asked again, "By the way, when will the hospital across the street be completed?"
"It won't be that fast. It will be at least the second half of the year. By the time the hospital is completed and put into use, you'll probably be in your second year of graduate school. But as you said, it is indeed under development over there. The company next door seems to want to expand. Do you have any thoughts on that?"
"Yes, if you take on this project, you can design a playground in an area, with children's and adult areas, and charge a fee to play. You can also sell food in the pavilions. You can take on all of these and make money. But I don't know much about this. I only know that this park has been operating for a very long time after its expansion."
If it doesn't make money, it can't stay open for that long.
"By the way, Zeng said you bought a few more plots of land. What are you planning to do with them?" Lin Wei asked with interest.
"Your question makes me think you have something on your mind. Zeng has probably already told you everything. So tell me, what do you want that land for?"
Lin Wei smiled a little shyly, "The piece of land on Jiangdu Road."
Shen Jize did indeed acquire the land on Jiangdu Road. The reason is that Jiangdu Road is the most prosperous area in Jiangcheng, and there is no shortage of business to be had there.
But—
It is precisely because it is so prosperous that land is extremely valuable, and the government in that area has high requirements, not allowing the buildings to be heightened, which restricts the area.
Of course, it's also because he hasn't had the land for very long, so he hasn't thought about what to do with it yet.
Do you have any thoughts?
"We already have high-end shopping malls, so what if we build a more affordable one?"
Discount shopping mall?
"Yes, everything in your mall is high-quality. A set of clothes costs several hundred, thousands, or even tens of thousands of yuan. Judging from the current business, there will definitely be people who buy them, but not many. Based on the situation in the first month after opening, it was the restaurants, cinemas, and children's play areas that kept us going."
"But what if we built a more affordable shopping mall? Something like the Jiangzheng Street wholesale market, but with a higher-end feel, more expensive prices, and some entertainment options—a blend of wholesale, shopping mall, and night market elements..."
"I think it's feasible. After all, most of the people who frequent this place are young people, so it should have a good market."
Lin Wei wasn't lying. In her previous life, there was a discount shopping mall here that had stood for many years. However, with the rise of online shopping, where you can buy things cheaper everywhere, not to mention the discount shopping mall, even the wholesale market has been affected to some extent.
But that's how times change; there are ups and downs. Just because things might decline in the future doesn't mean you should stop doing what you're doing now when you're making money.
"Okay, I'll give you a month to produce a design. If I'm satisfied, then your company will take over this project, and I'll allow you to invest as well. It will be considered a collaboration between the two of us."
"Ha, so you agree to let me do it? No more questions or questions?"
"I already said I wanted to see the design drawings. If I'm not satisfied, I won't make it for you."
That being said, it's still a stretch.
"Alright, alright, but let me make this clear from the start: this place will definitely be popular for a while, I think it will be around 20 years. But after 20 years, no matter how this place is renovated or how the business changes, it won't work. If you ask me, let's just do it for now, and then we'll figure out a better way as times change."
This is the method, isn't it?
It seems like it will be the same until then. Anyway, just like she said, let's make money while the times are good first.
