The supermarket "Alice" run by Phil Beren's family is in Windsor town. After more than ten years, it has developed into the largest convenience supermarket in the entire town. Of course, ordinary convenience stores can be seen at the intersection on the street, but when it comes to local young men and women, when young students mention shopping, they must go to the "Alice" supermarket to buy a lot. Who would run to the Sanliang convenience store on the street?

Today is the weekend. As usual, many Eton's students flocked to the streets of Windsor Town. You can even see the figure of Windsor Palace from a distance. No one will forget that it is one of the long-time residences of the Queen of England. In recent times, there seems to be a little princess from a relative who lives in. According to rumors circulating in the school, it seems to be for the purpose of receiving tutoring?

"You are also a sixteen-year-old girl." Walking to the supermarket, Phil said quickly: "I really don't need to save some hygiene towels? By the way, I didn't see you using it when I was still in school. Sissi, when did Alice usually have her period? Do you know?"

As the saying goes, there must be someone who is in the three of them. At this moment, Phil Beren is the person who is leading the topic. Sissi holds Alice's arm. Although it looks intimate, it is actually twisting someone's arm. Even if Phil suddenly brings new things to them, it doesn't mean Sissi has forgiven someone.

"She," answered Phil's question, and Sissi glanced at someone's laughing expression: "Once on February 14, once on March 15, once on April 13, once on May 20, how do you look at these numbers?"

All of them were said by Alice, of course there is no doubt that Sissi started learning Chinese a long time ago, and playing with homophonics is no problem. However, it would be really difficult to take Phil Beren to understand the meaning of this.

"Oh, that's so much different." She said in surprise: "There are six days between February and May? Is this a bit too unstable?"

But then, the smart girl noticed something was wrong and said suspiciously: "Xixi, are you talking about her last June? It's been nearly a year since then, how can you remember so clearly?"

"Ahem!" It was enough, Alice quickly interrupted the boring topic: "I said Senior Sister Phil, your supermarket should be at seventy or eighty meters away. Should we speed up our pace?"

"Oh, okay, come with me."

Following Phil quickly, Alice immediately muttered to Sissi again: "I said dear, do you want to talk nonsense? You know I never need something like menstruation."

Xixi didn't answer, but just snorted lightly, her head turned to one side, but her arm was still hanging on Alice's wrist.

Soon, the most famous supermarket in Windsor town, "Alice", was presented to Alice.

"Ah~" Phil sighed: "There are so many people in Alice today, right?"

Alice smiled.

Just like the Internet cafe after school and the elevator when you get off work, the supermarkets on weekends are always crowded with people, and "Alice" is particularly famous for visits from many Eton students. With the dense crowd entering the supermarket, the first thing to do is the promotional discount signs, but the three girls did not stay here for more, but immediately followed the employee passage to the direction of the general manager's room.

Here, Alice meets Phil's father.

"Hello, Alice." The silver-haired middle-aged man was handsome and charming. After Alice shook hands, she also greeted Sissi: "What a charming little girl, French girl, do you think of us in the UK?"

Wow, this is an old national problem. Alice happily flashed to the side, letting Sissi, who was at home of the incident, put her long hair in her arms and said coquettishly: "It's so bad. What's the weather in the UK? It rains for three days and sunny for two days, cloudy and windy. And this dish is really unbearable. There are all kinds of barbecue meats with no other seasoning except salt!"

These few sentences are really not something that ordinary people can refute. Alice burst into laughter on the spot. It seems that Britain has always been famous for its bad cooking, while France is the source of modern Western cuisine. If we put these two feuds together, how could Sissi not seize the opportunity to sarcastically?

"That's a pity." Mr. Beren smiled at his daughter: "It seems that Sissi and Alice don't plan to study in Cambridge in the future. Do you want to sit down and prepare and go to Harvard to study for an MBA or something?"

"Dad..." Phil said helplessly: "Can we start talking about the important things?"

Alice also looked at the following table: "That's right, Mr. Beren. I just came back from Switzerland and there are still many things to deal with. Well, I heard from Phil that you want to develop 'Alice' into a large-scale supermarket chain?"

"That's right." Mr. Beren invited the two girls to sit down, while Phil obediently poured water for the two juniors: "We 'Alice' have been operating for many years now. We need experience and a lot of funds. Phil is now in college and has plans to take the postgraduate entrance examination. So I think it's time to expand the scale of the supermarket's business."

This is when the company owner wants to find angels to invest in their career development. Alice is very familiar with this situation. She nodded and said, "What development plans do you have?"

Mr. Beren said: "Over the years, I have observed how many successful chain companies have grown and grown. To be honest, McDonald's is the best example. Not only the store decoration and product menu, but also the quality of each piece of meat pie, the oil temperature control of each cooking time, and even the cooking time of different ingredients at different oil temperatures. McDonald's has not only achieved the uniformity of the decimal point level, but also set this standard in every branch."

Alice smiled and nodded, waiting for Mr. Beren to see what happened next.

But he suddenly said, "I know you and Phil have a good relationship, Alice."

Alice actually played the emotional card, but Alice smiled, but Alice liked it.

"I also know that you have always been interested in investment. The land you acquired in Japan two years ago has now completely recovered, right?"

Alice simply calculated and said, "The principal is 100 million yuan, the loan is 300 million yuan, and the installment payment is 800 million yuan, totaling 1.2 billion yuan. If you want to get back the capital, it's really the same. Judging from the current housing prices in Ginza, the land of 1.2 billion yuan has risen to more than 2 billion yuan."

After all, it is May 1988, and the macro background is here. Even though she has not paid attention to the business there for the past half month, she is very confident in her estimates.

Even though she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but sigh when she heard Alice's series of big numbers relaxed and comfortable.

"So Alice, since you have some interest in real estate and I want to build a supermarket chain here, this is my idea."

Mr. Beren is a businessman, and everyone knows this, but Alice does not particularly understand his talent. When she heard the other party had something to say, she certainly listened very seriously.

He said excitedly: "Why don't you also set up a chain of commercial real estate?"

The noun that suddenly rose made Alice stunned for a moment.

“Commercial real estate?”

Seeing that his opinion surprised the angels, Mr. Beren was of course very happy. After all, he knew what achievements the girls in front of him had.

"Yes, Miss Alice."

With a girl's mentality in his heart, he said: "Of course I know it's very expensive, but I believe it will definitely bring you a lot of benefits. That is to say, we can buy land in batches in the bustling areas of major cities, and then set up office buildings and shopping centers integrated commercial centers, just like McDonald's, and then use it in a chain form..."

As long as you say it, you will fully understand. Isn’t this the business model of Wanda Plaza? The business model that a Chinese entrepreneur can think of is not unsuitable for a small businessman who has been silently operating a supermarket for more than ten years and has always devoted himself to studying business models. Although the national conditions are different, in terms of creativity, it overcomes all obstacles.

"I understand." After Mr. Beren told his ideas for most of his, Alice concluded: "You have also thought of a new investment project for me. I develop chain commercial real estate, and you give priority to opening 'Alice' branches in business centers like me. Then, with my capital, I continue to expand my achievements in this field, and you can ride the road."

The girl spoke very well, smiling, without any sarcastic or mocking tone. Although from the perspective of behavior, Mr. Beren was doing a typical thigh-hugging behavior, which was enough to be called cheating by many colleagues envious and jealous, but why would Alice not do it as the party being hugged?

"A great idea," she smiled, "but if this project is really started, it will put a lot of pressure on me, so it will definitely not work in a short period of time. But I think Mr. Beren can still wait in a few months to one and a half years, right?"

This sentence undoubtedly pointed the finger at the invested Ginza Real Estate. After a year and a half, the total price of 1.2 billion has soared to more than 2 billion. Even if it is sold at this time, Alice can immediately get nearly one billion US dollars in pure cash after paying back all the loans and debts. It is really impossible to buy too many things by purchasing land with such a high amount of cash.
