Chapter 424: In Business
"Manager Zhang, you see, is it okay to design like this as a whole?" The designer of Liangcheng Dingtai Decoration Company took a few large design drawings and spread them out to Zhang Qingping.
After Zhang Qingping came up from Duge, he became the spokesperson of Xingsheng Development Co., Ltd. on the surface.
Of course, Zhang Qingping is just on the surface, in fact, the person who has all the decision-making power is Hu Mingchen, and it is precisely because Hu Mingchen is in charge behind his back that Hu Jianqiang will let go and concentrate on dealing with the affairs of Duge Township.
To be honest, even if he Hu Jianqiang is in the city, it is still Hu Mingchen who makes the decision. The projects of Xingsheng Supermarket and Ladies Market were originally conceived by Hu Mingchen, and this place was also the address he chose.
Zhang Qingping stood next to the designer, while Hu Mingchen stood on the side of Zhang Qingping, Zhang Qingping could see the design drawing in the designer's hand, and he Hu Mingchen could also see it.
The location where they are standing now is the first floor of the health mall, which is where the women's market will be built.
At the beginning, Hu Jianqiang asked Hu Jianqiang to find a few people who knew how to decorate and bring them to Zhang Qingping, but when they came, Hu Mingchen chatted with them and felt that their thinking was not good.
What those people will do is ordinary home decoration, and the decoration of such a large shopping mall has not been carried out at all, and even some people decorate the kind of rural house, how can this adapt to the needs of the city. In other words, they don't even know how to decorate a large supermarket and shopping mall to cope with fire inspections, and how to wiring to meet their needs.
Under such circumstances, Hu Mingchen had to make up his mind, even if he spent a little more money, he had to find a professional decoration company to do it, so as not to lose a lot of money.
Zhang Qingping rolled his eyes a little at the design drawing, it can be said that he can't understand it at all, where does he know what to evaluate and what is not good, he can only take a look at Hu Mingchen and let him speak to make a decision, what Hu Mingchen says, he Zhang Qingping will echo and follow up.
"How did you lay that wire, and did it all go from the ground?" Hu Mingchen asked.
The designer glanced at Hu Mingchen, and originally wanted to ignore it and not answer, but seeing that he came with Zhang Qingping, and Zhang Qingping also nodded in agreement, he had no choice but to explain.
"It's not all, but some of the wires you see go up the ground because you have to put some sockets on the ground, especially the part of the women's street on the first floor. We have wires laid in such a way that there will be on the roof and on the ground, partly for lighting, partly for power. For the wire part, our current consideration is to use two kinds of ...... of six square and four squares" The designer explained a lot of unfolding, and it can be seen that the designer is well aware of this design.
"I don't think six squares and four squares are enough, at least 10 squares. If it is for home use, then six square and four square are enough, but we are a supermarket and a shopping mall, and there will be more electrical equipment than ordinary families, supermarkets have freezers, and even sell electric stoves, as well as a lot of other electrical equipment, including air conditioning and so on. We don't have heating here, and in the winter, the women's market on the first floor will either provide large air conditioning, or many stall owners will use their own heating equipment, so the load will be very large. I said that ten square meters is probably low, and for the sake of insurance, even higher load wires should be used......." After the designer explained, Hu Mingchen put forward his own opinions.
Hu Mingchen denied his suggestion at first, and the designer was a little unimpressed, but after listening to Hu Mingchen's later explanation, the designer had to nod in agreement: "It's true that we didn't think it through, this part, I will go back to find a professional to understand and then do supplementary design, do you have any other ideas?"
"I look at the three-dimensional renderings, and the use of color tones seems to be a bit too much, and the design is not bad, but I think the design is more simple. The decoration is simpler, it looks comfortable, and it can also save costs, such as the ceiling, which can be canceled, there is no need for that, only a frame needs to be built, I believe that not many people will pay attention to what is overhead. Hu Mingchen flipped through the renderings and continued to suggest.
"But many shopping malls, including E&P shopping malls, are also like this. The designer said.
"Hehe, they are shopping malls, we are supermarkets and women's markets, and the format is very different. They demand it to look high-end, but we don't need it at all. We just need to be practical and look comfortable, Manager Zhang, do you think that's the case?" Hu Mingchen explained.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Hu has been saying that we don't need bells and whistles, the more practical it looks and the more comfortable it looks, the better, and the cost of decoration is also our key consideration. Zhang Qingping immediately expressed his agreement and affirmation like a sound worm.
Nonsense, where does Mr. Hu have those explanations, Hu Jianqiang just said a word, when he arrived in the city, all decisions were subject to Hu Mingchen's, that is, Zhang Qingping was required to listen to Hu Mingchen for everything.
Even Hu Jianqiang has to listen to Hu Mingchen's arrangement, not to mention that he Zhang Qingping is an outsider.
"Okay, then we'll make adjustments to this part, what about the other parts?"
"In addition, at the entrance of the supermarket on the second floor, that is, on the side of the stairs, isn't there still an empty space that should be used......" Hu Mingchen spoke again.
"How else can this place be used, this place, a little spacious, wouldn't it make people feel more comfortable? This place is separated from the outside by the wall, and the wall can't be knocked down, it's a load-bearing wall, if you can't hit the wall, this empty space can't be included in the scope of the supermarket." The designer thought that he had finally caught Hu Mingchen a layman's place, and without waiting for Hu Mingchen to finish speaking, he hurriedly refuted.
"I knew that the wall couldn't be breached, and I knew that this place couldn't be zoned into the supermarket. I mean, can you help build a simple children's playground here, such as laying tatami mats on the ground, and then making a slide, making a small swing or something, so that the children will have a place to go. If the children don't make trouble, adults can go shopping with peace of mind, and they can increase sales to a certain extent, but it's a pity that it's so empty. Hu Mingchen didn't care that his words were interrupted, and continued to say what he thought.
"Well, that's true...... Somewhat thoughtful, I will take this idea into account in the later modifications. The designer had to obey Hu Mingchen's thoughtful thinking and assumptions.
Under the leadership and requirements of Hu Mingchen, the design of Dingtai Decoration Company went through three changes before it was finally approved by the household name.
For this decoration, Xingsheng Company took out more than 400,000 yuan, which is not high for a supermarket and women's street of several thousand square meters, and it can be said that it is very simple.
For the exterior wall, Hu Mingchen did not engage in those bells and whistles curtain wall, just changed the name of a shopping mall, the roof is set up with the signboard of Xingsheng Supermarket, and the entrance of the front gate is the three words of Women's Street, as for the wall, it is all painted into a dish, which looks very new, but also novel, and can attract people's ideas, especially women, who are more sensitive to color than men.
After the design is determined, all that remains is two jobs, one side of the decoration and the other side of the investment.
That investment attraction is not only to find tenants and entrepreneurs in the women's market, but also to support and support various consumer goods in the supermarket.
Although Hu Mingchen is worth tens of millions, the funds he can get out are very limited, the rent has gone to hundreds of thousands, the decoration has gone to hundreds of thousands, and the liquidity that the company can use is not very abundant. What's more, the company itself has to set aside a part of the funds for backup, in case the project in Duge Township is overrun, if there is no follow-up support from the funds, it will be unfinished. What's more, the supermarket itself has to pay a lot of personnel costs.
In order to save money, Hu Mingchen was not even willing to pay more for the advertising cost of attracting investment, so he hung a large wall cloth on the front wall of the supermarket.
In Zhang Qingping's mind, it is estimated that the suppliers of the supermarket will come enthusiastically, and he is not too optimistic about the women's market, and feels that it will be very difficult for those dozens of stalls to be rented out.
Who knows, the result is just the opposite, the merchants supplying the information supermarket are deserted, but there are many people who come to consult the shops in the women's market on the first floor.
There were some laid-off female workers, some salesmen who used to sell things to others, some street vendors who started their own small businesses, and even some grandmother-level women who had children and grandchildren.
The reason why this is the case is a sentence designed by Hu Mingchen on the advertising wall covering: "Do you want to be a boss? If you want to be a boss, you can come to the Women's Market, and you can start your own business and become a boss for a thousand yuan." ”
As long as 1,000 yuan, you can open your own store and be the boss, who is not impressed, such a low investment is very attractive.
Although Hu Mingchen's 1,000 yuan is just rent, Hu Mingchen did not ask everyone to pay it on an annual basis, so it is really only 1,000 yuan. In addition, even if the purchase cost is added to more than that, but the purchase cost of those small things sold is actually not much money, even if you add two or three thousand fast, there are many people who can get it.
In any case, Hu Mingchen has attracted popularity, and has stimulated and aroused the dream of many people to start their own business, which is a good start.
The rent of the stall in the Ladies Market is paid once a month, but that is only the first year. In other words, by the second year, when everyone has earned money, it may become an annual payment, and the rent may also increase.
This is not Hu Mingchen's pit people, but business, Hu Mingchen also wants to make money, and he is not a charity. As long as this place can be heated up and everyone can make money, then let Hu Mingchen earn a part accordingly, I believe everyone can accept it.
