Chapter 89

Dawn!

Su Chen walked out of the storage room, locked the door, and returned to his room.

"Big brother is back."

As soon as the door opened, the little girl raised her head, her eyes smiling and turned into crescent moons. At this moment, the TV in the hall was watching, and the cartoon "Xi Yangyang" was playing, and the little girl watched it with great fun.

"Xiangxiang, you watched TV all night?"

Xiangxiang is the nickname Su Chen gave to the little girl. The name Wang Fengxiang is really too old. When you hear the name, you will know that it is a woman in her thirties or forties. It always feels a bit awkward to call this name to a little girl.

"Well, the TV is very good."

Xiangxiang nodded obediently. She had already had TV in that era, but her family was not poor at that time. She had only watched it in other people's houses several times, and it was the kind of black and white TV.

"Then you keep watching at home."

Xiangxiang is a ghost, and ghosts can be sleepless for a short time.

Su Chen looked at the big white rat lying on the sofa. The big white rat was obviously not interested in this cartoon, and he squinted his eyes and looked listless.

"I'll have something to do when I go out, so stay here and don't walk around."

After explaining this, Su Chen went back to his room to change his clothes, and then took a taxi and went out.

Dream Times Square has only been five years since its construction was completed and its opening, with a lot of people flowing, which can be regarded as a new business circle in NC City.

"Mr. Su, you are right to choose our shop. Our average daily customer flow is more than 20,000, and we are all high-quality customers. We currently cover all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation."

At the gate of Dream Times Square, a salesperson in the square's investment promotion department was introducing Su Chen about the situation in the mall.

"Does your row of shops have restrictions on their business scope?"

Su Chen did not enter the mall, but pointed to a shop outside the mall. This shop was separated from the mall by a road, but there was an aisle on the second floor to pass through, which was a bit similar to the design of Wanda Jin Street.

“There is no limit on business scope.”

After hearing Su Chen's question, the sales manager was stunned for a moment and immediately answered.

The best location for the entire shopping mall is naturally the shops in the shopping mall. The shops there need to be planned and designed. For example, the first and second floors can only allow beauty, clothing, and digital stores, while the third floor can only include catering.

But there are not so many restrictions on these shops outside, not to mention that there are several shops that are still empty here, and it is good for someone to rent them, and there is no plan to put any restrictions on it at all.

In fact, this salesperson is also very confident. Opening a store in such a place is only in the business scope, and it is impossible to sell seafood and vegetables, so he dares to say such things.

“Is there really no business scope restrictions?”

Su Chen smiled and asked again. Some things still need to be asked clearly. After all, the shops he opened here are different from those in the shopping mall.

When he heard Su Chen's question, the salesperson hesitated for a while, but he still reacted and asked: "Mr. Su, what business do you want to run?"

"The paper money seller is probably the incense and candle shop."

Su Chen did not conceal the truth. Maybe he could rent the shop smoothly if he concealed it, but there would be some trouble later.

First of all, most people are a bit taboo about stores like incense and candles that sell dead products. If you open a store here yourself, the shops on both sides will not be so easy to sell. At that time, there will definitely be complaints in the mall. Su Chen doesn't want to deal with these troubles later.

So I just started talking about it from the beginning.

"Open an incense and candle shop?"

The salesman's face was full of strange expressions, and there was no precedent for opening incense and candle shops in shopping malls across the country.

Because shopping malls are prosperous areas, rents are naturally not cheap, so these stores in shopping malls are of high interest, and even clothing brands are all those brands of clothing.

How much profit is for your incense and candle shop? I don’t know if the money you earn is enough to pay rent, water, electricity, property fees and property fees.

Of course, this is just one point, and the other is that the mall will not agree. Incense and candle shops are for the dead. Chinese people are very taboo about this. If you open an incense and candle shop in the mall, should the shops on the left and right be doing business?

"Mr. Su, you didn't joke with me."

Meng Liaoyu was speechless, he wondered if the other party was deliberately playing tricks on him.

"I'm not kidding. I really want to rent this shop and open an incense and candle shop. However, my incense and candle shop is different from the ordinary incense and candle shop. It should be of the high-end type."

"No matter how high-end it is, it will sell dead products."

Meng Liaoyu muttered in his heart, feeling extremely disappointed. The business seemed to be ruined.

"Mr. Su, I'm really sorry. If this is the case, then our shop may not be rented to you." Although it was a bit regretful, Meng Liaoyu was not angry and his attitude was still good.

When Su Chen heard the other party's words, he was not surprised and asked: "Did you shops stipulate that you cannot operate incense and candle shops?"

"There is no such rule."

Meng Liaoyu only answered the first half, and he did not say the second half. Although there was no such regulation, it was because the management did not think that such a situation would occur at all.

"Since there is no such regulation, it should be no problem for me to rent it out."

"So, I'll ask the supervisor."

Meng Liaoyu did not dare to make decisions privately, so he still had to report this matter to the supervisor to see his supervisor's opinions and ideas.

...

Dream Times Senior Executive Floor Conference Room.

"Everyone knows the current situation in the mall, let me tell you what suggestions are there."

Li Xuan sat at the top and looked at his subordinates. As the chairman, he usually does not participate in the specific management of the mall. He has a dedicated team and senior executives. However, the situation is a little different now. He must come to the meeting in person to find solutions.

The reason is nothing special. In the past few months, the shopping mall's customer flow has dropped sharply and the transaction volume has also decreased a lot. Many merchants are already very dissatisfied. Many merchants who were about to expire and want to renew their contracts have begun to wait and see.

For a shopping mall, merchants are necessary. If merchants have no confidence in the shopping mall, it will be difficult for the shopping mall to maintain it.

Mengshi Mall accounts for almost one-third of his net worth, so Li Xuan naturally dared not take it lightly.

But after he said this, the scene was a little quiet, and everyone knew the reason for the sudden drop in customer traffic in the mall.

Four months ago, a girl jumped off the building in the office building in the mall. Fortunately, she didn't die. At the beginning, the mall didn't take it seriously. After all, there are many people who have committed suicide these days.

But who knew that in just three days, someone jumped off the building again, and this time the person who jumped off the building died directly.

Two people jumped off the building in a week, and it spread throughout the city. Many citizens began to mutter, but this was nothing. The mall also started to public relations and gave many discounts. The traffic of customers increased again, even more than usual. Of course, this is because of the concessions.

Seeing that the negative impact had been eliminated, all the employees in the mall breathed a sigh of relief, but who knew that something happened again a week later and the third person who jumped off the building appeared.

In half a month, three people jumped off the building. This time, Mengshi was completely famous, and many media came to interview. You should know that it is the era of self-media, and I don’t know how many new media need such eye-catching news, and the entire circle of friends has been blasted.

But this is not the weirdest thing. The weirdest thing is that in the next two months, there was another person who jumped off the building and committed suicide every month. Even if the shopping mall security guard had already blocked the rooftop and some windows, it was still useless. The shopping mall could not allow all office buildings to add barbed wire to the windows.

"Mr. Li, I think we can provide more detailed protection to completely prevent this situation."

Everyone in the conference room was silent for a moment, and finally the supervisor of the maintenance department spoke.

"There is nothing wrong with protection, but the key issue at the moment is how to reverse the current situation. Rumors about our shopping malls are everywhere in the city, which is the top priority to solve at the moment."

Li Xuan glanced at the supervisor, how could he not know about these things? It took a lot of time to add barbed wire and fences. This is a huge project, which will take at least one or two months. But the key at the moment is how to restore passenger flow and restore merchants' confidence.

Everyone present also heard rumors outside that there were unclean things in the mall, so so many people jumped off buildings one after another, and they also said that they were very concise, especially some so-called Feng Shui masters, who also mentioned Feng Shui issues based on the map.

It is because of these rumors that the shopping mall’s customer flow has dropped so much.

Li Xuan felt helpless when he looked at the silent supervisors. Some of these rumors were fabricated by troublemakers, while others were arranged by competitors. However, in the face of such rumors, it was the most difficult to deal with.

Because this matter is too evil, it is impossible to deny rumors if you want to deny rumors. How can idealism deny rumors?

"Mr. Li, otherwise we would invite a professional to come over, and the citizens would be relieved."

The deputy general manager tactfully suggested that everyone present understood the subtle meaning of his words, that is, to invite a Taoist priest or monk to do a ritual, and then the Taoist priest and monk said that the mall was safe and would be more convincing.

"This is a bit inappropriate. If you really invite it, wouldn't it confirm that there are rumors of dirty things in our mall?" Some manager retorted.

Just as everyone was discussing, the third man sitting on the left of Li Xuan rang. After looking at the call, he answered the phone directly.
