"Uncle Jiang, when will the shopping mall in Jianguomen be renovated?"

"Renovation is relatively easier than building a new one. According to the requirements of the municipal government, it must be opened before the opening of the Olympic Games, but our own plan is that it will be completed by the end of this year."

Lao Jiang paused, stared at Li Xiangping and smiled, "Xiangping, I heard your father say that you agree very much with Lao Xie's cooperation this time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was made by you. Are you really optimistic about the model proposed by Lao Xie?"

Li Xiangping smiled and did not reply directly to Lao Jiang's words. After all, as a time traveler, some questions are really not so easy to answer.

Take the Jianguomen shopping mall as an example. In today's day, the most mainstream commercial real estate model in China is of course Lao Wang's Wanda model. In fact, Lao Wang really took off from this time. He used his model to conquer cities and land across the country and achieved great success.

However, who would have thought that the domestic Internet could develop so quickly, and it won’t take long to make the third-generation Wanda model, which once seemed perfect, would soon be greatly impacted by e-commerce--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In fact, it is precisely because of this reason that Lao Wang, in later generations, began to divest heavy assets, then proposed the concept of cultural and tourism projects, and told stories everywhere to deceive people.

But then again, although the emergence of e-commerce has a great impact on traditional business models, there are some areas that cannot impact.

For example, if you want to buy a toothpaste or a box of sanitary napkins, you can certainly buy it on Taobao, but it must be admitted that unless a very small number of online shopping addicts, most people will not do this, and these things will still be solved in nearby convenience stores.

Another situation is that if you want to buy a luxury item, such as buying a Hermes or LV bag, or something------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The shopping mall near Jianguomen adopts this model.

How to describe it? Li Xiangping remembers that during the Liberation War, when our army liberated the Northeast, it adopted a strategy called "letting go of the road and occupying the two hatches".

Compared with the traditional Wanda model, the shopping mall that Li Datuhao is now preparing to build is actually a "occupying two hatchbacks" strategy.

There is nothing to see about this model now, but it will not take long to show great power. Seven or eight years later, the annual retail sales of the Jianguomen shopping mall can exceed 10 billion yuan, becoming one of only two large shopping malls in China with annual retail sales exceeding 10 billion yuan (the other is in Jinling).

Before Li Xiangping traveled through time, the annual sales of three such large shopping malls could reach the total of more than 100 Wanda Plazas in Lao Wang's hands, and the net profit was more than twice as high as his.

And in 2018, when Li Xiangping traveled through time, the traditional retail industry organized a selection. The shopping mall near Jianguomen ranked second in the world, and its commercial value was second only to Walmart, which was in the Lighthouse Country.

So there is no need to say too much, and the same thing is said, as a time traveler, if you don’t know, it’s fine, but if you don’t have the conditions, you can only forget it. But Li Xiangping just knew and also met this condition. Then he would certainly not miss a popular project like this.

Of course, Li Xiangping knew that, but he didn't know how to tell Lao Jiang. After all, nowadays, the Internet two horses are still in the stage of despicable development. Although some experts have seen that they will definitely make a fortune, they have not really taken off after all, right? Li Xiangping doesn't want to talk big in front of his elders, and show off his common sense in front of Lao Jiang in this era.

After all, that was a trick around online literature around 2010, but Li Xiangping traveled through time almost 2020, so as a playboy with pursuit, he felt that he couldn't be so old-fashioned.

Since he didn't want to explain, Li Xiangping could only talk, of course, haha. He talked with Jiang and wanted to get over this topic.

But Lao Jiang didn't think much. To be honest, the reason why he asked more questions just now was because of the "Galaxy Bay" project------

You should know that at the beginning, Jiang Jiang sent information about the Galaxy Bay project to Li Xiangping's house. At that time, Jiang Jiang himself was not optimistic about the "Galaxy Bay", so he put the information about the Galaxy Bay at the bottom.

However, he did not expect that it was precisely because of Li Xiangping's strong recommendation that Li Datuhao did this project and made it the biggest hit in the real estate industry this year. As a senior executive of the company, Chiang Kai-shek knew about these inside stories, which impressed him, so he just asked more questions.

However, since Li Xiangping didn't want to say it, Jiang Jiang would naturally not ask questions. So the two of them talked about it, and soon they talked about the last time Li Xiangping asked Jiang Jiang for help.

"Uncle Jiang," Li Xiangping said to Lao Jiang with a smile: "Last time I asked you to help teach that kid a lesson, but in the end I didn't cause you any trouble, right?"

"Hi! What trouble can this be done," Lao Jiang waved his hand indifferently, and then he seemed to remember something, Xiao Yingying said to Li Xiangping:

"Xiangping, you were lucky to have found me last time. If you want to find your father directly, that would be really inappropriate."

"Ah!? Why?"

However, Lao Jiang talked about him and actually chatted with Li Xiangping about gossip:

"Just a while ago, a female star claimed that she would not marry a wealthy family. She herself was a wealthy family. You should know this?"

Li Xiangping smiled and thought to himself, how could he not know this? Isn’t it Fan Xiaopang and I, Mr. Fan? This famous saying is probably known to everyone on the Internet.

Lao Jiang continued gossip happily: "It's a pity that many people only know one thing but not the other. They just heard this sentence, but they felt that Fan Xiaopang was domineering, but they forgot what background she said this sentence."

"Oh? You know this Uncle Jiang, too. When did she say it?"

"Just a while ago," Lao Jiang continued to smile and said, "You may not know Xiangping. After the last time that the boy named Wang failed to pick up girls, he changed his target and turned to pursue Fan Xiaopang. Some time ago, he bought a sports car worth more than 3 million yuan and wanted to give Fan Xiaopang away. But what happened? Fan Xiaopang refused in person. That is, when she refused, she said the famous saying that people across the country might know."

Lao Jiang paused and continued to smile and said to Li Xiangping: "So Xiangping, you know, Fan Xiaopang said this, how can she really not want to marry a wealthy family? She just looked down on the boy named Wang and thought that if he was a wealthy family, she would be a wealthy family. Well, I think this is the right way to understand it, so I just said, it was right that you didn't look for your father that day, and you lost your share."

Li Xiangping was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed. After laughing, he looked at Mrs. Jiang who was busy not far away, and then lowered his voice and joked with Jiang:

"I said Uncle Jiang, don't blame me. I think it's strange. Why are you so familiar with Fan Xiaopang's situation?"

"Ahem, Xiangping, don't think too much," Old Jiang immediately looked as if he was hypocritical and looked at his wife not far away:

"Isn't this because I need it because I am more familiar with some situations."

“A job needs?”

"Didn't your dad ask me to be responsible for commercial real estate? You know that Xiangping, the Jianguomen shopping mall will inevitably have to deal with the fashion industry in the future. But look at the domestic female celebrities, if they are limited to the fashion industry, can they fight better than Fan Xiaopang?"

When Li Xiangping thought about it carefully, he found that it seemed like this. What Chiang Kai-shek said was "can fight" not of course, it did not refer to appearance, nor to acting skills. It was actually what he called "the ability to sell goods" in the later generations.

In the first decade of the new century, if you really want to talk about the ability to sell goods, before she became Fan Jiuyi, there seemed to be few who could compare with Fan Xiaopang.

"Haha, right, work needs, Uncle Jiang continues to work hard."

The dinner was over and over, and Li Xiangping did not say goodbye until after 8 o'clock in the evening.

Well, if the supper on the first day of the Lunar New Year is quite pleasant, then on the second night of the Lunar New Year, it would be a torment for him to wait for Li Xiangping to run to Lao Cai’s house for a meal.

The torment mainly comes from Cai Shanshan's mother. She really doesn't treat Li Xiangping as an outsider. She keeps asking about her well-being, and keeps helping Li Xiangping pick up food during the meal, which makes Li Xiangping really look like her son-in-law.

Of course, Li Xiangping was embarrassed.

Because of his and Yaya's affairs, Cai's mother may not know about it, but Li Xiangping thought Cai Shanshan should have known it. After all, they were in the same school, and Cai Shanshan also knew Yaya, and more importantly, Zhao Daokai's big mouth was next to her.

During the meal, Cai Shanshan was of course present, but she looked like everything was normal.

However, it is precisely because everything is normal that her mother is so enthusiastic that Li Xiangping becomes more embarrassed.

After finally experiencing a meal, Li Xiangping was about to find someone to let go, and Cai’s mother had something wrong again:

"You young people don't always stay at home. You can't walk outside. Yes, you can go to a movie together."

Li Xiangping's scalp became numb when he heard this, and his neck shrank.

Finally, Cai Shanshan doesn't seem to like watching movies, she suggested to Li Xiangping:

"Li Xiangping, why don't we play chess?"

After hearing this proposal, Li Xiangping looked even more embarrassed, thinking that he would be a dog fighter in the future, so he would be interested in playing with you at the entry-level level.

Of course, Cai Shanshan also saw Li Xiangping's expression, and she glared at him:

"I'm not talking about Go, it's chess."

Heard that it was chess, Li Xiangping thought it could be done. At this time, he remembered when he first arrived in the capital, when he was only 13 years old, he had played chess with Cai Shanshan.

When Cai Shanshan took out the chess tool, Li Xiangping fell into some memory again----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although Li Xiangping plays Go, there are many chess masters in the Chinese Chess Academy, and most chess games have similarities. Therefore, over the years, Li Xiangping's chess level has also improved, at least much better than when he was 13 years old.

This is true for Li Xiangping, which may be due to his professional habits. In short, as long as he plays chess now, no matter what chess it is, he will easily forget other things.

The game of chess ended soon, and Li Xiangping said proudly:

"Haha, I said Shanshan, why haven't you grown up for so many years? I've told you that this horse cannot be eaten. This is a trick to abandon a horse and get caught in a car. You were fooled seven years ago, so why are you still fooled now?"

Cai Shanshan sighed quietly:

"Yes, I feel like this car. I'm just trapped here seven years ago because I'm greedy for this horse, but I didn't expect to still be trapped here now."

“…”

Li Xiangping didn't dare to speak at that time, nor did he dare to go on another game. After saying hello to Lao Cai and his wife, he left Cai Shanshan's home as if he ran away.
Chapter completed!
