American elections have always been extremely costly, with countless sums spent on them every year. This is unavoidable; whoever has more campaign funds, the stronger their publicity efforts, and the better their network of connections, has a higher chance of success.
What appears to be fair is actually a struggle for interests among conglomerates.
Conglomerates contribute money and effort to elections, and the supported individuals, once in power, repay these people through legislation, thus creating a closed loop of interests.
Chu Yu thought that since she had money, she could easily take a stake in the company. However, since Chu Yu and Dai Donglin were husband and wife, she was not really suited to do these things. She could only secretly try to sabotage the company, acquire more companies in the United States, and infiltrate various fields.
Chu Yu's assets have increased by tens of billions this year, and she generously donated another 1 billion to Leader Qu.
There was no way around it; once she had money, she couldn't stand those who bullied her country. She wanted to help her country increase its military strength and improve its technology.
She was thinking that if Hongyu went public next year and made more money, she would donate some more to the country.
The more you spend, the more you earn; it all comes from the people anyway, so there's nothing to be reluctant about.
After the launch of Landon down jackets and Doraemon, the turnover has been increasing. After Chu Yu decided to develop Huachu Future Shopping Mall, he needed to prepare the brands inside the mall.
She wasn't developing high-end shopping malls, but the brands still needed to be guaranteed. The leasing department needed to finalize a list of brands for catering, clothing, children's wear, etc. If these brands wanted to enter Huachu Future's shopping malls, they had to open brand stores in each of Huachu Future's shopping malls.
Huachu Future has a great reputation, and the brands and merchants who received the news were very interested and wanted to cooperate with Huachu Future in order to get better positions.
After all, Huachu plans to build at least fifty shopping malls in China, which is no small number. In the first year of attracting businesses, Huachu will also receive policy support, which is very beneficial for merchants.
Not only well-known domestic brands, but also many imported foreign brands are interested in Huachu Future.
Chu Yu also found someone to introduce several major international brands. Some of these brands did not have agents in China, so Hua Chu Future took on the role of agent to bring these brands to the mainland.
Chu Yu also planned the division of the mall into different areas. The first floor is generally used for gold, brand men's clothing, sports brands, department stores, cosmetics, etc. The second floor is used specifically for women's clothing. The third floor is for children's clothing and children's play center. The arcade and children's playground will be built on the third floor. The fourth floor is in another location and is usually for milk tea and restaurants. The fifth floor is also for restaurants. The sixth floor is for a gym.
The restaurants in Huaguo Shopping Mall have always been doing very well.
Chu Yu plans to define the types of restaurants, and is determined to build a strong restaurant brand and improve the quality of its food.
After all, eating is a very important thing for Chinese people. Even if they don't go shopping, eating in a mall and then browsing around and buying things can easily cost them hundreds of yuan.
Chu Yu plans to promote the mall's restaurants and expand the gym, ideally with a huge swimming pool on the rooftop. This would improve the overall quality of the mall.
By the way, the underground parking lots of shopping malls also need to be improved. Parking is a very important thing. Old shopping malls with poor parking conditions will gradually be phased out in the future. Cars are becoming more and more common in Chinese households. The better the parking is in downtown shopping malls, the more customers they will be able to retain.
After Chu Yu finalized the plan, the investment promotion department proceeded to attract investment according to Chu Yu's requirements.
Meanwhile, Huachu's future shopping mall has started construction. According to Chuyu's plan, it will be completed by the end of 2001. After all, there is no shortage of money. As long as the money can cover the costs, the construction speed of the shopping mall will be particularly fast.
However, it also played a major role in the mall's subsequent renovation and leasing efforts, as it is no easy task to simultaneously attract tenants to so many malls.
Fortunately, Huachu Future's team is very professional, and they have been working overtime to collaborate with different brands.
Chu Yu also plans to introduce a yoga apparel brand and two brands specializing in sports stores.
The shopping mall in big cities targets the middle class, and Chu Yu hopes to obtain exclusive agency rights for some high-quality brands so that everyone can have better cooperation in the future.
After Hua Chuwei's matter was settled, Chu Yu asked someone about Zhou Jian'an, but Li Jinchao's side kept investigating but couldn't find any trace of Zhou Jian'an. It was as if he had disappeared for a while and no one knew where he had gone.
"Forget it, you don't need to pay special attention to him. With his arm crippled, he probably won't be able to cause any trouble."
Li Jinchao nodded. Dai Donglin had been secretly sending people to search for him. Li Jinchao wouldn't tell Chu Yu that some threats had to be eliminated, otherwise they would become a menace.
After Duoduo and Zhouzhou started elementary school, their grades were consistently good. Duoduo was sensible, obedient, and talented, while Zhouzhou was opinionated yet adorable. The teachers all liked them very much, and when they learned that they were twins, they took special care of them.
Duo Duo and Zhou Zhou attend a government-run kindergarten; children who can get into this school all come from very powerful families.
The teacher didn't know how capable they were at first, until one day, when she saw several black cars parked at the gate, she asked, "Whose cars are those?"
Zhouzhou proudly patted her chest and said, "That's my grandpa's car!"
"Grandpa?" The teacher's heart skipped a beat. Zhouzhou's parents were outstanding. The teacher had seen Zhouzhou's mother at a parent-teacher conference; she was a young, beautiful woman with a very elegant demeanor. The teacher had never seen such a beautiful woman before, no wonder she could give birth to such adorable children as Zhouzhou and Duoduo. But the teacher had never met Zhouzhou and Duoduo's grandfather.
The teacher led Zhouzhou and Duoduo to the door to wait for their grandfather to come and pick them up.
