Chapter 477, Vanda is halfway through construction
In a few months, Britain has become the new battlefield for Alice's career. After all, I have been studying in this country for many years, and it would be a pity if I could not leave some permanent marks before leaving.
On the south bank of the Thames River in London, Millennium Bridge is nearby, and the first commercial square of vanda is located here. This is the northern section of the southern part of London, and is still far from the residential area in the south. It is also located in the prosperous center. There are many office workers during the day, and during the rush hour, there are even traffic jams, which is the place that can attract people the most.
The construction site started construction as early as February. When late April came, the outline of the building group had already taken shape. Stone slabs laid out a wide space of tens of thousands of square meters. Six 150-meter-high skyscrapers stand on the south bank of the Thames River. Multi-function office buildings are surrounded by a seven-story shopping mall. The advertisements for investment promotion and news about new business franchise were posted on the poster for a long time.
At the same time, "Vanda Square is the center of the city", this crazy slogan can be remembered clearly by the endless crowd of people after work.
"Very, very, very, very, really thank you!"
At the entrance of the construction site, Phil Beren, with silver hair, held Alice's hands, her white and tender face flushed, and she was obviously so excited: "This supermarket is one-third larger than ours! And you don't want to share a little share in Chengdu, just a little rent... Our turnover has doubled! I, I mean..."
The senior sister was so excited that she couldn't even speak. After thinking about it, it would be better for her to be speechless. She sniffed her intimately on her face: "Don't talk about those useless ones, what's the relationship between us? Do I still need your share? Oh, Mr. Beren and his wife."
She turned to her parents who were playing soy sauce and said, "Let's not stand here stupidly, go in and take a look."
Mr. Beren has short platinum hair, while Mrs. Beren has silver filaments exactly the same as her daughter. I think other children will not have thick hair colors. The two are exquisitely dressed, elegantly elegant, and elegant. They know that they must be a combination of handsome men and beautiful women without looking at their appearance.
"Alice, I'm very interested in these office buildings than the supermarkets under construction."
Everyone walked into the construction site. Because the project progress had reached the internal decoration stage, they were not afraid of dirtying their clothes. Mr. Beren looked up and looked at the office buildings that were installing the last glass curtain wall. He said with interest: "The urban development over the past few years tells us that the construction of office buildings will definitely drive the rise in housing prices in the surrounding areas. This square is closer to the southern residential area. Will it cause trouble for residents to increase their living costs?"
"If you buy a new house, it must be the case. As for the people who already live nearby, they have gained benefits." Alice had an answer to such questions: "As for the newly moved in, since the house they purchased is adjacent to the high-end office building area, the price increase is of course normal. The natural law of economic development, the planning and area of urban functional areas are expanded."
As soon as you spoke, I chatted, everyone quickly walked into the next floor of the shopping mall. At this time, the decoration construction was still in progress, and the roar of electric drills could be heard everywhere, and the workers kept walking around. It should be considered as the entrance of the supermarket, just in front of the escalator that had just been installed, there was a vast open space inside, and to the right side of the entrance, there was a long corridor leading to the distance.
Mrs. Beren said: "What is this path?"
"The entrance, and then customers can continue shopping on the street on their way back to the escalator from the exit."
Alice led the family directly to the small commercial street. This is not a key area for construction, but the basic outlines of the shops have been built. "Fast food restaurants, snack shops, cheap fast-sale clothing stores, tea and coffee takeaways, such an outward-inward layout. After all, for most office workers, it is always good to have a meal with a few less pieces, including anyone who comes down from the escalator."
The Beilun family started out as a supermarket, and have managed "Alice" in Windsor Town for many years. Since they have planned to open a chain now, it naturally means that their business vision is not bad. At this moment, they followed their big boss on this small commercial street. Mr. Beren and his wife looked left and right, constantly thinking about what the place would look like after it was built.
"The higher the passenger flow and the more stable the small shop, the closer it should be to the exit. The idea is very correct. I don't think many customers will go to the supermarket when they are hungry. On the contrary, many people can take the elevator to the underground floor and have a full meal, and then go in and visit the supermarket."
"The small shop in the innermost part should be of the boutique type." This is because she was thinking about the distribution of her new supermarket's future neighbors. How could Mrs. Beren not care about it. "Just Alice said, coffee and tea takeaway shops can even be pharmacies! Yes, Alice, have you bought a pharmaceutical factory for your umbrella company? Then opening a pharmacy can be considered an integration of the industrial chain, right?"
"Oh, thank you for your advice, but that's a bit of a taboo." However, Alice waved her hand and said, "It's not a typical monopoly. It's okay to say that she's small, but I have to be the world's number one person, Mrs. Beren~"
The Beren family of three chuckled. By the way, this shopping street is long enough, and it can be seen that the supermarket is really not small.
Of course, vanda's first commercial real estate and the first supermarket chain to which it belongs, of course, the storefront should not be bad. At the same time, on the ground, six 150-meter-high glass curtain wall skyscrapers are also a very eye-catching new commercial center from a distance, especially on the banks of the Thames River, which is such a unique location.
Visiting the small commercial street, and then visiting a large supermarket. Of course, Alice would not treat "Alice" unfairly. She was not short of money and built a large flat floor according to the scale of Wal-Mart. You know, she didn't even have any shares in a good senior company, but just collected rent. Compared to the wealth that can be obtained by another means, her money is really generous.
"The pharmacy is the innermost!" Finally, I walked to the end of the small commercial street, and on the other side was the cashier concentrated area. Alice pointed to the empty space in the innermost store and said, "You think, many people who love to visit supermarkets are housewives, and their demand for weight loss is not usually high. At that time, I don't have to open a pharmacy specifically. Just ask them to sign a large order with the protective umbrella, and it will be a weight loss pill!"
Of course, Phil and her mother laughed, and Mr. Beren interrupted, "Pay your rent, sell your medicine, and then pay the rent for part of the money earned from selling your medicine! Tsk, this relationship is really interesting, oh right..."
The family walked towards the inside of the supermarket. Mr. Beren pondered for a moment, "Alice, I almost forgot that you are a little writer. Should you also come to the bookstore area inside and outside the supermarket? Like the "Harry Potter" series you are writing, for seven years, but you don't have to worry about the bookstore having nothing to place, right?"
Since the topic was transferred here, Mrs. Beren naturally had to be excited. Of course, this family would not have only one child. Senior Sister Phil's younger brother just turned eleven this year, and then happened to read Alice's "Harry Potter" at this time. So, it's no longer news to clamor to study in Hogwarts. The family even promised to cancel the booked summer vacation travel plan, just to let him wait for the owl to send a letter.
"Oh, Harry Potter..."
Since she was with her family, Alice would of course think of the little boy who inherited her father's platinum hair: "Fortunately our 'Ginny' has passed the time of daydreaming, otherwise... Actually, I really want to see her riding a broom and jumping around in the house..."
The laughter, especially Mr. Beren's laughter, seemed particularly loud. Thinking about his eleven-year-old son, when his father couldn't help but shake his head: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say it. Although my son has no personality with Draken Malfoy, he really regards him as a little idol. This brat, who ignores the boy who survives the disaster, actually worships a villain-like character~"
"But Drake is really handsome!" Senior Sister Phil was not happy with her father's comments and immediately pouted. Alice agreed. After all, is Malfoy's setting a standard domineering president? At least from the perspective of romance.
Well, the so-called green tea monsters in the eyes of girls and the sunny and warm men in the eyes of boys are all the types that the opposite sex likes the most and hates the most?
Well, so, the pure goddess falls in love with a gangster, and the sunny boy falls in love with a punk girl. Don’t worry about her broken heart, that only means that someone has found the wrong type~
In a huge supermarket, I fantasize about where to place what my parents do. Alice and Phil took a random walk in the wide open space. Although it is still in the decoration stage and the ground is still rough cement, it is also a supermarket after all, it is a supermarket. How can it stop girls from shopping?
"If the turnover doubles, we will be able to open a third branch sooner."
Phil was so excited that he kept holding Alice and said, "Then it's Li Gunli, Snowball. As long as there is no problem with the business strategy and no devastating blow, we will open a hundred stores sooner or later! Alice, this is not a Starbucks Café, but a hundred supermarkets!"
