Chapter 679 Empty
Chapter 679: Empty
Investors usually invest in the investees, but it is quite rare for the investees to invest in the investors.
However, there are always exceptions.
The best investor of the year in 2013 was now invested in by the big bear she invested in, but she could not resist at all. She could only grab the other party’s collar with one hand, bite her red lips tightly, and shake her feet.
She said she would not give it at first, but when the other party came over, she still accepted it without any backbone.
If every investor is so easy to deal with, Jiang Qin feels that his group buying can already go to the world.
After a few minutes of slow attack, President Jiang held his angel and came to the living room of the suite, and then the whole room was filled with the “creaking” of the sofa moving under force.
”I… I want to bite you.”
”Aren’t you biting me all the time?”
”?”
Feng Nanshu was stunned for a while, then seemed to have figured out something, and frightened her little face, but it didn’t take half a second before she started to tremble again.
The angel investors who bared their teeth and claws became cowardly and inexperienced once they were invested in.
After a long and bumpy ride, the rich girl hugged her brother’s neck tightly, shaking so hard that she was almost stiff, sobbing continuously.
Her beautiful eyes were already red like a little rabbit, with a delicate feeling of pear blossoms in the rain.
”You invested several million and cheated me out of my life. You should teach me a lesson.”
”You haven’t cheated me out of my life yet.”
Feng Nanshu couldn’t help but say something in a rage.
Jiang Qin lay on her for a while, then looked up at her pear blossom in the rain, thinking that I was actually cheated out of you a long time ago.
This girl is simply the most discerning investor in the world. She doesn’t want money, but people. She is simply a clingy person. In the end, she even took the heirloom.
In other words, this trophy may really be well-deserved.
Jiang Qin reached out and picked up his investor and went to the bathroom. In this short five or six steps, Feng Nanshu was almost dumbfounded.
Brother, husband, bad guy, the rich girl kept calling, and she didn’t know which of the three names to call.
Brother is husband, husband is bad guy.
Feng Nanshu was put on the wash basin in the bathroom, repeating this sentence in his heart, and then he began to sob again.
It took four months for the group to adjust its internal structure, and another three months for the subsequent operation and personnel transfer. 2013 passed quickly.
The number of users of Cloud QuickPass has also stabilized, and the market value has increased several times.
During this period, 4G mobile phones have been continuously launched, and various home 4G routers have been rolled out first. During
this period, he went to inspect Alipay’s unmanned vending project, and also organized the Kyoto branch to conduct a street questionnaire survey on the use of payment software.
In the midst of wandering, it has been more than ten days.
More than ten days ago, Joy City officially opened. Jiang Qin did not show up, but only transferred a reporter from the branch of Tonight’s Headlines to ask a few face-to-face questions to liven up the fun.
He was very busy during the opening period and had no time to come and make trouble, so he sent a large number of employees to draw the lottery.
Until now, when I have time, the real things against Joy City have just begun…
At night, the lights are on, and the trial operation of the group food begins. Although tonight is not a holiday, there are still huge crowds of people rushing in, so that there are heads running under the lights.
The old man who went to Joy City to beg for food some time ago took a taxi back, but when he came back, he found that his original position was occupied by a friendly business. Now he can only hide in a slightly remote corner and curse.
The competition for territory among the beggars has been very intense since ancient times.
Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu took a shower, put on a mask to hide their ears, and came to the food festival venue below. There are
countless stalls selling things and various snacks. The smoke is very strong. The lights from high above face the steam and scatter a blurry rainbow of colors.
”Do you want to eat chicken chops?”
”No.”
”Then do you want to eat grilled squid?”
”I don’t want to eat it either.”
Feng Nanshu felt that he had no appetite. He didn’t want to eat anything he saw. The little foodie’s soul seemed to be gone. He just kept sticking to Jiang Qin and strolling forward.
At this time, Han Xiong, the manager of Joy City, had already heard Xiao Liu’s report. Thinking of what Gu Zhifang said, cold sweat slowly flowed down his temples.
Some things are good to do at the beginning, but changing the time node may have better results.
”No, I have to go to Mr. Cai immediately. Jiang Qin’s move is too vicious.”
”?”
Manager Liu was stunned for a moment, and his mind was not able to turn around.
He knew that Mr. Cai was the CEO of Hurricane Capital. Although he was also a big shot in Feng Group, he had nothing to do with the Joy City project.
Mr. Feng was staying in a nearby hotel, and he had the final say on the Joy City project. Why did you report to Mr. Cai?
Han Xiong didn’t care about his doubts at all, and hurriedly ran out of his office, leaving Manager Liu alone, with a confused face.
The next morning, it was the peak travel period.
Today’s headlines released advertisements for the group food festival and Wanzhong Creation Collection, and Zhihu’s student users also received push notifications at the same time.
Countless people came after hearing the news, filling up the entire block.
In addition to these two activities, the on-site car draw attracted a lot of people. Some nearby residents couldn’t help but murmur, thinking that Volkswagen is really popular. Why are shopping malls willing to give away cars of this brand? At the
same time, on the road that everyone is heading west, which is adjacent to Exit C of the subway station, Feng Shirong and Duan Ying left their hotel, got into the back seat of a Mercedes-Benz, and headed towards Joy City.
Seeing the countless pedestrians on the road, Feng Shirong couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.
”The passenger flow on October 1st has begun to surge. There weren’t so many people on this street yesterday.”
Duan Ying looked out the window: “Is the passenger flow in Kyoto so large on October 1st?”
Feng Shirong raised the corner of his mouth: “October 1st is National Day, and this is the capital.”
”Have you calculated it long ago?”
”Yes, this is the real business layout.”
Feng Shirong crossed his arms: “Choose to open in September, first use promotions to increase customer flow, and then seamlessly connect with the wave of popularity of October 1st. The Joy City brand will definitely be popular in Kyoto.”
Duan Ying opened his mouth: “Then what?”
”Then focus on operations, sign all the main brands that are waiting and watching, and then create some special stores, form your own style, and revitalize the overall situation of the entire commercial real estate. The rents of those property units developed in the back will also rise.”
Feng Shirong’s eyes flashed with light: “The Joy City No. 2 project will be implemented in Shenzhen, and construction will start quickly after the funds are recovered, and then one by one it will bear fruit and blossom.”
”Then Feng’s…”
”Even if Feng’s has established a firm foothold in the commercial real estate circle, its valuation will continue to rise. Father should be very pleased.”
After listening to this, Duan Ying clenched his fists and couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Using the tea shop to ridicule, the questioning at the press conference, everything will disappear with the success of Joy City.
She really wants to know how Jiang Qin feels when he can’t stand her bullying his wife Jiang, but he can’t do anything about it.
But as the car drove farther and farther to the west, Feng Shirong’s expression gradually became confused.
Because at this time, there were fewer and fewer people on the street, especially after passing the subway exit D, the flow of people seemed to be cut off in an instant.
The car was constantly moving, so the changes in the flow of people in the entire block were clear to them.
At this time, Feng Shirong’s smile gradually shifted to the driver’s face. This big empty street is so easy to drive. I can even drift and spray on the ground!
Half an hour later, the car drove to Joy City. From the moment he entered the auxiliary road, Feng Shirong’s heart fell to the bottom, and an ominous premonition gradually surged into his heart.
And when he got off the car and came to the interior of Joy City, the premonition became real in an instant.
Joy City was empty, and the entire hall was quiet. Even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly.
All the waiters in the makeup and jewelry counters on the first floor stared at each other with panic in their eyes, as if something was about to fall.
How could it be possible? It was October 1st…
Feng Shirong and Duan Ying stood at the door, as if struck by lightning.
Han Xiong came in hurriedly at this time, and before he could stand firm, he was grabbed by Feng Shirong’s collar. He almost shouted the four words “What’s going on?”
”Before Wanzhong was built, the business district where Xihanheqing settled was nearby, and many of the surrounding shops are almost all their units.”
”Later, the catering brands moved into Wanzhong, and those units were taken over by the hotel brands of the Linchuan business gang, all surrounding Wanzhong.”
”From the location point of view, the right wing of Wanzhong is full of brand hotels that are very popular on group buying. They were fully booked yesterday, and their Food Festival and Creation Collection are in the back wing, connected to the CB exit of the subway, forming an encirclement, leading directly to the inside of the mall.”
”The advertising instructions in the subway are very clear, and tourists will never get off the subway exit near us.”
”In other words, in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, Wanzhong with the Food Festival is like a net bag, and not a single passenger flow will be leaked to us.”
”Joy City’s competitiveness is not great. Once they hold an event, we have no traffic.”
”In addition, Wanzhong recently launched new stores with local characteristics such as Hong Kong Restaurant, Bobo Chicken, Hakka Cuisine, etc., to operate the brand, and do all-round marketing on Tonight’s Headlines and Zhihu.”
”The worst thing is that the distance from their side to the nearest scenic spot is almost the same as the distance from our side to the scenic spot, but they are not on the same line. We were completely bypassed.”
”Mr. Feng, the supply chain trucks that have been arriving at Wanzhong in the past few days, 20 or 30 of them, are not prepared for the opening of Joy City, but for October 1st.”
”We, were wrong.”
”What’s the point of hitting us during the opening? When the time comes, we can spend some money to increase the flow of customers, and we can also declare to the outside world that it is a sudden explosion, right?”
”They had planned October 1st from the beginning, intending to make Joy City empty for a week during this period, so those brands all asked to talk after October 1st.”
”The opening was frustrated, and the flow of customers was not big. What’s wrong? But during the Golden Week of National Day, Joy City was empty. This is the biggest joke. It can be passed down for a lifetime. This is October 1st!”
Feng Shirong’s head was buzzing, and he could hardly hear Han Xiong’s next words.
During the opening period, he was nervous, fearing that Wanzhong would suddenly organize an event to show its power, but he didn’t expect that the real business war would be arranged on October 1st.
Yes, no one on October 1st is more fatal than no one at the opening.
Feng Shirong raised his head: “Where is the store on the third floor?”
”It went to participate in the food festival, and… went to draw a car.”
”They also drew a car?”
”Yes, draw our car.”
”?”
At the beginning of October 1st, Wanzhong was bustling with people from morning to night.
The hotel guests living on the right went downstairs and entered the food festival, went to the mall, and then took the subway to the nearby scenic spots.
Joy City was equivalent to being directly marked as a no-man’s land by the blockade line. It was not until the evening that Wanzhong’s capacity could not bear it, and some people came to Joy City leisurely, but they also left in a hurry after a round of shopping.
It’s quite interesting to say that Joy City was highly referenced to the layout of Wanzhong when it was first designed, leaving a wide square and a semi-open area, and the pedestrian path was also designed to be wide.
But it was not until this moment that they realized that this design was used in this way.
Joy City will not be affected by the short-term money-burning competition. The Feng family is big and powerful and can withstand it.
But it was sold out on October 1st. After the news spread, I’m afraid no one would dare to open a store here.
No one went to this mall on October 1st.
Without brand stores, Joy City can’t continue to sell at a loss, and the whole project will enter a vicious circle.
Joy City itself has no strength. It has always relied on burning money to maintain its glorious facade. It seemed that it would soon attract a group of main stores, but now it has been reduced to its original state in an instant.
This is the real ebb tide.
