Lu Ye returned to Luancheng and, accompanied by A Fei, visited the commercial plaza that had been built.

There are a total of four large commercial shopping malls, each connected by a sky street in the middle. The entire sky street is covered with tempered glass, which is very ornamental.

At this time, Lu Ye was surrounded by a group of people, wandering in the pedestrian area outside the shopping plaza, which looked very much like the scenes of leadership inspections broadcast on television in later generations.

"Brother Ye, the company is now starting to operate as a group. This shopping plaza is the first large-scale shopping mall of our department store. Unfortunately, the only drawback is that most of the merchants here are small traders. The recruitment of big brands has not been very smooth.

.”

If such a large commercial plaza does not have big brands settling in, it will ultimately be difficult to turn it into a first-class large shopping plaza.

If the opening is opened, all the retail traders will settle in, and eventually this place will become a wholesale market similar to that of an underground commercial street. This goes against the original intention of building this place.

The people of Luancheng have spending power, and the income of coal miners here has always been quite high. Many miners can earn one to two thousand yuan a month.

Working underground, watching the conveyor belt is relatively safe and the salary is 500 yuan per month.

The front-line Nuggets have a dangerous job, and their monthly salary is basically around 2,000 yuan, which can be considered as having their heads stuck in their belts.

The work of blasting is very dangerous and requires certain blasting skills. The salary has always been at the highest level, around 2,500 per month is considered normal.

Of course, these are the wages of private coal mines. The same job in a state-owned coal mine will always cost several hundred yuan less.

But even so, it is still difficult to enter state-owned coal mines.

State-owned coal mines provide retirement benefits, but there is no such benefit in private coal mines.

In Luancheng, there are more than 200 large and small private coal mines. Almost every family in Luancheng has relatives working in the coal mining industry.

The high-risk working environment has also fostered lavish spending habits. Luancheng has the most restaurants in the surrounding prefecture-level cities, with the largest variety of barbecue, hot pot, and private dishes.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Ye used the land of the old factory to build such a large shopping plaza.

Now, after hearing A Fei's report, Lu Ye couldn't help but said: "In this way, the original plan must be resolutely implemented. Building D focuses on low prices, and Building A focuses on high-end. If we can't find well-known brands, then the rent will be free.

A one-time exemption of rent for three years, and those who sign first will have priority in choosing the store location. I don’t believe in such conditions, and I can’t win over them.”

"In addition, I plan to ask Yang Zhongxing to open a few separate lines and get some buses to bring customers here from several surrounding cities. As long as the surrounding customers come here to go shopping, the buses will pick them up for free. In this way,

, the passenger flow in the early stage should be stable."

There are two things that scare you most about commercial plazas. One is that there are no merchants to settle in, and the other is that there is no customer flow.

But this is a mutually reinforcing relationship. As long as the two can grasp one side, half the battle is won.

"Wouldn't this be too wasteful? If we don't charge rent for three years, and we can only go out and not come in, wouldn't we have to lose a lot of money?" A Fei felt a little heartbroken when he heard Lu Ye said that he would give those big brands three years of rent exemption.

"The first floor is reserved for big first-tier brands, mainly to improve the grade of our shopping mall. With the grade, there will be a customer base. Even if there is no rent, there are other floor rents, which can share the cost. When the entire commercial plaza

After stabilizing, that's when we can make money, and we can't rush it."

Lu Ye persuaded A Fei and said.

"Okay, then I will do as Brother Ye said." Lu Yedu said so, and A Fei no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.

This is the first shopping plaza of Dragon Soul Department Store. Lu Ye is not surprised that there are difficulties in attracting investment. When Dragon Soul Shopping Plaza has made a name for itself in the industry, various big-name companies will naturally come to it.

Seeking long-term cooperation.

After visiting a shopping mall, Building D was in the best condition at this time, and the merchants inside had completed a 70% occupancy rate.

The worst thing is Tower A, which is positioned as a high-end building. The first floor is almost completely empty and only one house is under renovation.

The huge Dragon Soul mobile phone logo can be clearly seen from a long distance.

At this time, the Dragon Soul mobile phone is no longer just selling a single mobile phone, but also accessories, such as headphones, batteries, and charging cables, are also sold.

"Brother Yang said he wanted to build a flagship store here, and it is currently being renovated," A Fei explained.

"Well, this is a good idea. In the future, all Dragon Soul shopping malls will have a Dragon Soul mobile phone flagship store on the first floor. This will help complement our cross-border brands."

"Well, then I will implement it like this from now on." A Fei heard the words and responded.

Lu Ye had just finished visiting the shopping mall when his cell phone rang.

Lu Ye now has two mobile phones, one purely for office use, which is placed in Tina's hand, and his own old mobile phone, which he always carries with him.

I took it out and saw that it was Geng Qiusheng, the official of Luancheng City's parents, calling.

Lu Ye picked it up casually and said half-jokingly: "Leader, you are pressing the tracker on me. I just returned to Luancheng, you will know."

"You guys came back, and you didn't say to call me. If Xiao Li hadn't passed by the shopping mall and saw you inspecting, I wouldn't have known you were back."

Geng Qiusheng said with a smile: "How about we have lunch together? I wonder if Boss Lu has the time."

"The leader has spoken, and I will definitely get it. Time is like water in a sponge. There is always squeeze."

"That's good. I just have something to tell you. Let's meet and talk." Geng Qiusheng said.

"Okay, let's go to the Kunlun Hotel at noon. I'll go there in advance to make arrangements at 11 o'clock. I'll take care of it. Don't worry, it won't exceed the standard." Lu Ye replied.

At this moment, it would be better for Geng Qiusheng to take the initiative to call. Setting up a security company requires a large training ground, and it is very likely that he will need to apply for guns from the police station. It is not appropriate for others to handle this matter, so Lu Ye has to go to Geng Qiusheng.

In China, the use of firearms has very strict regulations.

Ordinary people are not allowed to hold guns at all. Only very special companies, such as armed escort companies responsible for picking up and delivering money to banks, will equip their escorts with guns under the supervision of the police station.

Each of these guns, including the rationed bullets, has an independent number and is all registered to prevent loss.

It is not easy for a security company to apply for guns. First, it must have a strict gun management mechanism and a training venue that meets national standards.

With these two things in mind, most people would never even think about passing.

As for security personnel, if they want to legally hold a gun, they must obtain a legal gun license, which is also extremely difficult. Moreover, security personnel are not allowed to hold guns when they are not performing their duties.

"I'm still very willing to take on the big business. That's it. The time is almost up. I'll make preparations and go there." Geng Qiusheng said on the phone.

"See you soon."

I put away the phone and took a look at the time. It was already early ten in the morning.

"It's almost done here. Let's go to Kunlun. I made an appointment with Lao Geng in the city and I just have something to talk to him about." Lu Ye looked at A Fei and said softly.

"The car is ready, you can leave now." Ah Fei responded.

The first chapter of this novel--the publishing site&~is@:Tadu Novel APP

Since Ah Fei took over the Dragon Soul Department Store, he has met Geng Qiusheng a few times and is quite familiar with him.

In the city government office, Geng Qiusheng opened the drawer under his desk, pulled out a stack of documents, stuffed them into a kraft paper bag, and put them into his briefcase.

He shouted to the outside: "Xiao Li, call a taxi."

"Okay, boss, the car is downstairs and ready to go at any time." Outside, secretary Xiao Li pushed open the door and asked in a low voice.

As soon as Geng Qiusheng got up, Xiao Li, with quick eyesight and quick hands, took Geng Qiusheng's coat from the hanger and helped him put it on.

After the two went downstairs, they got into the car.

"Go to Kunlun."

"Good leader." The driver responded and immediately started the car.
