Chapter 244 The First Shopping Mall
With Su Jing's help, Hua Xiangrong now has five stores under her name.
But the most important thing is that in the first half of the year, Su Jing took people and new products to participate in an exhibition in the south.
It was this exhibition that suddenly opened up the southern market, and the factory received more orders, including orders from Hong Kong businessmen.
Su Heng discussed with Song Wan, gave Su Jing 5% of the profit, and tied him to Hua Xiangrong's boat.
Su Jing used the dividends from the first two quarters of the year to buy a large yard, happily preparing to decorate it and get married.
The yard he bought last year was relatively small, but he had no money at the time and the housing prices had gone up, so he could only make do with buying one first.
This time I have enough budget, so I can finally buy a big one.
It is a two-story courtyard on the edge of the Third Ring Road. Now this area has been developed.
Seeing his brother completely plan out the children's room in the new house, Su Heng asked, "Brother, have you proposed?"
She vaguely remembered that her elder brother had never visited the Ruan family?
Su Jing paused, and the thought of the Ruan family's background really gave him a headache.
"Brother, you should ask your sister-in-law to help plan the renovation. Whether she accepts your proposal is one thing, but at least letting her participate in the planning is a big plus."
Su Jing was puzzled: "Really? I saw that she was always unwilling to take care of these trivial matters, so I didn't want to disturb her."
Su Heng shook her head: "Brother, you still claim to understand girls. Since you are living together, how can you not let her know about your future plans? No matter what her personality is, she must feel involved."
Su Jing suddenly realized: "Sister, you are right."
"Of course. You can discuss the house with your sister-in-law and find out her attitude at the same time."
Su Heng transformed herself into a military strategist and gave her elder brother some advice. She thought of Ruan Qing's personality and realized that he didn't care about family background.
But it's hard to say about her family. Dou Ning said that her uncle is a very serious old-fashioned person.
So he suggested: "If it really doesn't work out, you can just become a live-in son-in-law. After all, the old Su family still has Su Ming."
Her elder brother's relationship, which he finally got, couldn't end in vain.
Su Jing: ...
What's going on? I feel a little moved.
Su Jing coughed lightly: "I know what's going on, so you don't have to worry about it."
After saying that, he went out.
Su Heng joked from behind, "Brother, if you go to visit me, as your younger sister, I will definitely give you some dowry so that you won't lose face."
Su Jing almost stumbled and fell on the threshold, and said unhappily, "No need."
When Lu Mingchuan finished his call and came out of the room, he saw the brother and sister bickering and asked casually, "What's wrong?"
Su Heng said with a malicious humour: "You are laughing at my brother. If you can't find a wife, you can only marry into the family."
Lu Mingchuan couldn't help but smile, maybe because he was thinking of Su Jing's ambitions before he had a girlfriend.
But he was not too worried, as his brother-in-law had many ways to go and was now quite wealthy.
He owns several stores and receives dividends from Hua Xiangrong. He has the potential for future development, and the Ruan family's background is not so high that it is unattainable.
But he didn't say much. Instead, he saw a small figure under the eaves and went to pick it up.
Qiuqiu was covered in mud. She raised her delicate little face blankly and called out, "Dad."
Su Heng also saw his little cat-like face and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lu Mingchuan's forehead veins twitched faintly, and he asked, "What are you doing?"
Seeing her father's dark face, Qiuqiu answered obediently, "I'm planting flowers."
Su Heng also remembered that she had indeed placed a few fresh flower seedlings under the eaves just now, but she was in a hurry to deal with work and had no time to plant them.
I watched Qiuqiu go over to play, but since I could catch a glimpse of him out of the corner of my eye in the room, I didn't pay much attention.
I didn’t expect Qiuqiu to be so thoughtful and help her mother plant it.
"Okay, stop being mean to him. Let Mommy come and see how Qiuqiu's flowers are growing."
Qiuqiu immediately pointed at the flowers and showed them to Su Heng as if she had seen a savior.
"Good job planting. Don't plant it again next time. Go and wash your face with daddy."
Not hearing the expected compliments, Qiuqiu blinked her big eyes and was dragged by Lu Mingchuan to the bathroom for a bath.
Su Heng hurried to save her half-dead seedlings.
Knowing that they had been too busy and neglected Qiuqiu recently, the two of them stayed at home with Qiuqiu and had fun for the whole afternoon.
Qiuqiu has always been very sensible, but Su Heng and Lu Mingchuan did not ignore his needs because of this.
Su Heng and Lu Mingchuan's own childhoods were not very good, but they gave Qiuqiu a warm and happy childhood.
Perhaps because of their own regrets, they understand better what children need.
This year, not only did Hua Xiangrong develop rapidly, but Hengchuan also expanded rapidly. By the end of the year, it had opened ten stores, even in Jinshi.
Chef Hao's apprentices also graduated and were sent to branch restaurants to take charge.
But although every store was doing good business, the total profit at the end of the year was not as good as Su Heng's Hua Xiangrong dividend.
Lu Mingchuan realized the difference between running a small shop and running a company.
If he wants to continue expanding Hengchuan's store, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but in order to ensure its reputation, the selection of raw material supply needs to be strictly controlled.
After all, he didn't have his own factory to supply the products, which greatly hindered the development of the branches.
So he began to think about a new path.
The most popular thing now is probably commercial housing.
He had heard Su Heng mention the future real estate boom, and coincidentally, they now had some funds.
Lu Mingchuan is a man of action. Whatever he wants to do, he will discuss it with Su Heng and then try it out.
However, after getting involved in the circles of real estate companies, I found that my capital was far from enough.
Don't even think about buying those large plots of land at auction, but the small plots of land seem to be of no use.
When Lu Mingchuan came back, he told Su Heng his thoughts.
Su Heng thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we can first buy a small piece of land and build a comprehensive shopping mall."
So Su Heng explained in detail the ideas and plans for future shopping malls.
“Even if we can’t attract brand stores to move in, as long as we move in Hua Xiangrong’s store and Hengchuan’s store, we can at least attract some traffic, and the mall won’t be too deserted.
We can also make the first floor a food court and offer preferential policies to small vendors, which will definitely interest them.”
When Lu Mingchuan heard this, his mind was instantly opened up, and he immediately worked hard in this direction.
Finally, we chose a piece of land with good potential within the Third Ring Road, with dense population and no large shopping malls, and won the bid. We then formed a team to start development and construction.
He contacted some teammates who had retired and returned home but could not find good jobs, and worked with experienced construction teams.
If you want long-term development, you must have people you can trust. These retired soldiers who have been trained by him before are convinced by him and are naturally reliable.
After all, there is no room for mistakes in construction. Lu Mingchuan offers high salaries, but at the same time, the management of the construction site is also very strict.
In fact, it is quite safe for the construction team to live with the retired soldiers. After all, the construction site is not safe at this time due to petty thefts.
With this group of people around, nothing unexpected happened during the construction period.
By the time their family's first shopping mall was completed, Su Heng was about to graduate.
