The first thing that appears in front of Persian girls at Meimei Department Store is the famous eight display windows. This large, fully glass and transparent display window has no other place besides Lingao, and it is also the first in Lingao when it comes to size and quantity.
One serving.
Drawing on the commercial display design of the old time and space, each window display is an artistic and commercial expression of a life scene, and changes according to seasonal changes. From the bedroom wearing pajamas and underwear with beautiful bedding to wearing a beautiful linen apron
, a kitchen with shiny Australian kitchenware and fine white porcelain tableware, from a group of girls wearing Australian-style long and short skirts and beautiful new parasols, to wearing traditional styles but "Han-style" styles made according to Australian tailoring.
Classic beauty. Countless people have established their first impression and infinite longing for the Australian lifestyle through this place.
What is particularly worth mentioning here are the various wooden models that are the protagonists in the display window. Since there have never been models for display in this time and space, the customization work of these models once stumped the staff in charge.
There are roughly two types of clothing display models. One is the traditional "portrait style", and the other is the more fashionable "human body style" that appeared later. The biggest difference is that the former has a "head and face" and tries to imitate real models; the latter
Just an abstract human form with a "body".
Whether it is the former or the latter, it was difficult to make it at the beginning. Because there are roughly two types of traditional Chinese portraits: statues of gods and Buddhas and the "Weng Zhong" used in front of cemeteries. The shapes and expressions are fixed patterns. So at the beginning, I took out
After making the design drawings, the workers in the wood factory always turn out to be unsatisfactory.
If you ask Trini's disciples and grandsons to make it, the result will be lifelike, but they are made according to the artwork, and the construction period is too long, so it is not suitable for mass production.
Finally, we found a local puppet maker in Lingao, and under the guidance of Trini's students, we came up with a batch of human-shaped clothing racks that can be put into various poses that amazed the indigenous people. Due to the excellent carving work, refer to
The images of the original time and space photos were so vivid that there were rumors that these wooden figures were originally living people, and it was the thief who cast a spell to turn them into this.
Among them, the one that excites the Persian girls the most is the one showing the Australian-style cloakroom. The hostess is wearing a sexy nightgown, standing in front of the L-shaped floor-to-ceiling wardrobe to choose clothes. In the wardrobe, there are not only rows of beautiful long and short skirts and
On top of the jacket, facing the audience, there are rows of horizontal shelves displaying various styles of bags, backpacks and handbags. Some of these bags are made of genuine leather, some are just simple canvas, some are shiny, and some are
The colors are restrained, but without exception, the careful design and exquisite workmanship can be seen. Every time she sees this picture, Zahra can't help but put herself into this scene to be intoxicated.
Walking through Meimei Department Store, what you see in front of you is Laojiefu Silk and Satin Bureau, whose core business is high-end silk and customized garments. This is a private store, but it also exchanged shares for technology and equipment upgrades provided by the light industry department. In the window,
Beautiful silks and satins imported from Suzhou, Hangzhou and Nanjing are displayed one by one, many of which are for "internal use". They are also made into various beautiful clothing and decorations: cloaks, headscarves, dresses, and even tablecloths.
Curtains, pillowcases, and the shawl that Zahra is wearing now was bought here the last time Mr. Xu went shopping with them.
Lao Jiefu's neighbor is an authentic aboriginal merchant, "Qionghai Hao Treasure Shop", one of the largest foreign merchants in Lingao. The main store of Qionghai Hao is located in a quiet area a few streets away, occupying a large area.
It is a piece of land, but it is mainly engaged in wholesale trading of bulk goods. This time, it is a so-called "treasure store" opened in the downtown area of the business district. It mainly sells ginseng, furs, pearls and various "Liaodong goods" purchased by Li Luoyou from Liaodong.
", and also sells rare specialties such as bird's nests and shark's fins from Southeast Asia that were resold from two East India companies. Zahra can't understand the radish-like plants with long roots displayed in the window here.
, but this did not prevent her from understanding the amazing prices above.
Across the street, there is the First Food Store run by the Committee of Agriculture and the Ministry of Light Industry. It specializes in various candies, pastries, cooked foods and fast food, as well as high-end meat and seafood products. In order to be friendly and tempting, the First Food Store
Special sales windows along the street were opened to sell candies and pastries in small packages used as snacks. From time to time, children or girls handed over coupons and took back bags of candies and snacks that they had longed for.
Even for maids like Zahra, who have access to the Senate's special shops, these wide variety of products will still make them dizzy and full of desire to buy. After all, the special food shops of Nanhai Farm sell mostly ingredients.
, there are no such things as candies and snacks.
Next to the No. 1 Food, far across from Qionghai No. 1 is the "Runshitang" Bairen Main Store, a leading local merchant in Lingao. The facade of Runshitang is relatively old-fashioned, and you can see a row of rows through the glass.
There are neatly arranged cabinets of Chinese herbal medicines. If you cross the high wooden threshold and walk in, you can see several doctors who are treating patients in line. Walking at the interface of the two stores, you can smell
The mixture of the sweet aroma of candy and the spicy taste of Chinese medicinal materials makes people feel a little weird.
Walking further, crossing a crossroad that is perpendicular to Dongmen Avenue, is the newly opened "Dongfeng Car Sales and Service Company". As the first Dongfeng Carriage 4S store designed and opened in accordance with Minister Hong's wishes, it faces Dongmen Street.
The main part is the display and sales of the two-wheeled Dongfeng carriage and the four-wheeled Hongqi carriage, while the department that opens the door on the crossroad is responsible for the maintenance of the product. It is particularly worth mentioning that in order to promote the product, Minister Hong introduced
Based on the concept of old time and space car models, two Ocean Horse Maids were specially purchased as part of the carriage display environment, which attracted active onlookers from the broad masses of people.
Even in Lingao, few people buy carriages. Due to climate reasons, the cost of raising horses in Lingao is extremely high, and the mortality rate is also high. Therefore, most of them are only used by "official families". Even the elders cannot afford to raise horses.
Most of the expenses are covered by rickshaws. Therefore, the customers served by this shop are basically the agencies and units under the Senate, and there are very few private users. Minister Hong is essentially losing money by running this shop, but even if he loses money, he will
You have to drive. After all, the most important thing when selling a car is your reputation. Even if you don’t have a single customer, you still have to maintain your reputation.
Zahra didn't take the time to cross the street to watch her companions, because her destination was about to arrive: the cooperative, known as the "Crystal Dragon Palace" and once ranked among the widely circulated "Eight Scenic Spots of Lingao"
Head Office. As the first large-scale department store in Lingao, the atrium roof of the cooperative head office is a huge iron-inlaid glass cover. When sunlight penetrates through the glass, it illuminates the three-story building extremely brightly.
, making the glass-inlaid treasure racks in the store shine with charming brilliance, reminiscent of the Crystal Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, which is full of treasures. As a landmark building on the high ground, this is the meeting place agreed by Sonia and the Persian girl.
With the basic completion of a new round of commercial district renovation and the rise of specialized stores represented by Meimei Department Store and First Food, the cooperative's status in the world has been greatly impacted. In order to maintain its leadership in the Lingao business system
In the sheep position, the cooperative head office also started its own renovation and expansion project. While maintaining the traditional Crystal Palace as a wholesale business window for foreign merchants, it requisitioned adjacent land and began to build a new building that focuses more on retail and lifestyle consumption.
.
According to the plan, this new building will be an unprecedented super high-rise building in this time and space. The shopping mall is planned to have six floors. The seventh floor is a club for elite customers. The ninth to twelfth floors and the rooftop viewing platform
It is planned to be a venue dedicated to external reception and its own activities for the Senate, as well as a number of high-rise panoramic apartments. In order to cooperate with this design plan, the commercial department has negotiated with the mechanical department many times and is preparing to install Bairen Town’s first machine here.
Scenic elevator.
Having your own club is not just a whim of the business community. The success of the farm cafe is an important incentive, and the recent dispute over the development rights of Gakushu Grange has further intensified this. The farm cafe opened shortly after D-Day
, successfully combined a good natural environment and a nostalgic sentiment for the old time and space, and became the default social and consumption place for the elders. Wu Nanhai and the Agricultural Committee not only obtained good economic benefits from this, but also relied on their own interests as landlords
, transforming it into a major platform for extra-hospital activities.
Using the cafe as a venue and giving constant small favors, Lao Wu successfully united and bought a large number of soy sauce elders. This was undoubtedly revealed in the recent discussion between BBS and the Senate about learning the farm. What's more, there are also a group of soy sauce elders.
People openly encouraged Wu Nanhai to run for the next chairman or speaker of the Senate, putting this issue more clearly on the table. In addition to jealousy, under the secret instigation and encouragement of a group of people in the house party, the commercial system decided to build its own territory
, fighting for the right to speak.
For the Persian girl, the overt and covert fights between these big shots are still far away. The new building she sees now is just a large construction site surrounded by walls. However, the roots rise from the ground and intersect in a criss-cross direction.
The thick gray-white cement frame has shown that this is no ordinary place. The Senate will once again show the world its incredible magical power. Considering the height of the floor, the new building will adopt a standard frame structure, plus the flashlight of the elevator.
It is indeed a ground-breaking event in the architectural field of this time and space.
