Chapter 712: Xu Zhi
Zhang Wenquan and the others also knew that Shen Huai had a lot of affairs, so they didn't dare to disturb too much, so they left after talking.
As soon as Zhou Qian and the principal Zhang Bin got into Zhang Wenquan's car, they saw two cars coming from the south and stopped across the street, thinking that maybe it was after them that Shen Huai was called to the person who was talking to the construction site here.
Two cars, the off-road vehicle behind looks plain, I don't know how many days have not been cleaned, all around the mud spots, looking at the past, the gray front window glass has clear traces of the wipers, as if wading through the mud pool, the silver-gray Mercedes-Benz in front of the flash.
In the past year, there have been more cars driving in the streets and alleys, and in the past, even if the official cars were counted in the entire Xiapu County, there were few decent cars. If it weren't for the end of last year, the Education Bureau eliminated an old Jetta, and there would have only been one old van in the entire county with the door to watch at any moment.
Occasionally, when I saw a Santana on the street, I felt that it was so luxurious - in the past, even if Zhou Qian was arrogant, she was not much different from ordinary girls, and she had no feeling or understanding of the so-called world famous cars and luxury cars, after all, it was not compatible with her life and her world.
She had some impressions of the Mercedes in front of her.
Two months ago, when she went shopping with her boyfriend Xu Zhen in the city, she saw this car parked on the side of the street, and Xu Zhen said that her life goal in this life is to drive such a car.
Zhou Qian couldn't imagine how much such a car was worth, but seeing Xu Zhen's eyes full of envy and yearning, she was deeply impressed by this car, but she didn't expect to see this car again on the construction site of the new city at this time.
Last time in the city, this Mercedes-Benz was parked on the side of the street, and the owner was not in the car, Zhou Qian was curious at this time, what kind of car would it be to drive this kind of luxury car.
Zhou Qian looked at it, and saw the car door open, and two men came down:
The older middle-aged man was about fifty years old, wearing a gray tunic, black pants, and old cloth shoes, and he looked extraordinary.
The young man driving should be the driver of a middle-aged man, but he is wearing a suit that looks very good at the material, his leather shoes are polished in stirrups, and he is still tall, with a thin face, and he is born with a good hanger, which looks slightly more than the momentum of a middle-aged man......
Zhou Qian turned her head and said to Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin with a smile: "Now that you are a driver, how can you look more magnificent than the boss......
After all, Zhang Wenquan's contact area is much wider than Zhou Qian's, and he recognized that the two people who got out of the car were Chu Yiliang and Chen Tong, and when he saw that Zhou Qian mistakenly thought that Chen Tong was Chu Yiliang's driver, he didn't make fun of her, but said:
"Who said that people are drivers? That young man is a big boss of Pengyue Lianshang, with a net worth of tens of millions. Teacher Xiao Zhou, if you want to find such a husband to marry, you will never enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life......"
"Ah......h
Zhou Qian turned back to look out of the car window in a daze, the young man had already walked over from the street, his eyes were sweeping before taking a taxi, looking younger than her, and he didn't think that he might have a net worth of tens of millions.
Of course, Zhou Qian knew that Pengyue Lianshang was a big supermarket that had just opened in the city center for a few months, and its business was more popular than Wenshan Shopping Mall.
"Meixi came out. Zhang Bin sighed lightly and said, with indescribable envy and yearning in his tone.
Zhou Qian watched the young man walk by in front of their car, eagerly hooking up with Wang Weicheng and hugging each other, remembering the legend about the rise of the new county magistrate Shen Huai from Meixi.
All kinds of legends sound like legends, Zhou Qian didn't have a chance to run to Meixi, and she didn't have a particularly deep feeling, at this moment there was still some impact in her heart, and she thought that it was no wonder that the principal Zhang Bin wanted to fight the new county magistrate to the death.
"The car in the back should be Mr. Zhu's car of Zhujiang Construction, Director Zhang, should we go down and say hello?" Zhang Bin pointed to the off-road vehicle that had stopped behind and no one had gotten off for the time being, and asked Zhang Wenquan with some uncertainty.
Zhang Wenquan is also a little uncertain in his heart, whether it is Zhu Li or Chu Yiliang, or Chen Tong, they are all descendants of Shen Huai who fought the world with Shen Huai in Meixi, and now they are all entrepreneurs with extraordinary wealth and great reputation in Donghua City - if they didn't say goodbye to Shen Huai just now, there would be no problem standing on the side of the road and greeting smoothly; now that they are all in the car, if they get out of the car to greet and are not taken care of, wouldn't it be boring to find themselves?
It's nothing to be bored, Shen Huai just signaled them to leave first, making it clear that they were asking Zhu Li and Chu Yiliang to come over to talk about other things, they got out of the car at this time, would it make Shen Huai unhappy?
When Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin couldn't make up their minds, a few people came down from the off-road vehicle behind them at this time, and they heard Zhou Qian sit in front of him and cover his lips and exclaimed-Zhang Bin looked up, smiled, patted his thigh and said to Zhang Wenquan: "It's really a coincidence, Mr. Zhou's boyfriend and the old Wang of the design institute are with Mr. Zhu of Zhujiang Construction......
Zhang Wenquan looked at it, he didn't know if Zhu Li recognized him, but he recognized Zhu Li, who was of medium stature and had a broad face and a black face-wanted to squeeze into the circle of the new county magistrate, and if he didn't inquire about the main figures in the circle of the new county magistrate, he couldn't talk about being qualified-Zhang Wenquan looked at the young man who got off the car with Zhu Li, the boss of Zhujiang Construction, who looked like he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he looked polite, but he didn't expect this kid to have extraordinary good fortune.
With such an excuse, it is natural to get out of the car to say hello, but Zhang Wenquan squinted his eyes, looked at Zhou Qian who was sitting in the front row of the car, and saw the look in her eyes flickering, as if she was hesitant and reluctant to get out of the car.
Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin looked at each other and smiled, did not say anything, and did not move.
Seeing Xu Zhi coming, Zhou Qian thought that she should get out of the car to say hello, but she inexplicably hesitated and flinched - but she didn't hesitate for long, Xu Zhi looked over here, obviously saw her face through the car window, showing a surprised look, Zhou Qian only felt that her scalp was numb, so she had to push the car door and ask Xu Zhi: "Why are you here?"
************************
Shen Huai was shaking hands with Chu Yiliang, and when he saw Zhou Qian get out of the car, he was quite surprised to greet a young man who walked across the road with Zhu Li.
Shen Huai vaguely remembered that Wang Weicheng said in front of him that Zhou Qian had a boyfriend who worked in the design institute, and Zhu Li asked him to meet here this time to talk about the design plan of the civic square issued by the Municipal Planning and Design Institute. He thought to himself, this young man who looks polite and polite is probably Zhou Qian's boyfriend in the design institute, right?
However, Shen Huai and Zhou Qian can't talk about "acquaintance", so naturally there is no position to show concern about Zhou Qian's current life, he just smiled at Zhu Li and said: "I asked you to meet Lao Chu here, where did this kid Chen Tong come from Xinpu and still mix with you?"
"Isn't the West District going to start planning and construction now? Large-scale self-selected shopping malls are a necessary commercial facility in the West District, who am I not looking for Chen Tong to find for this good thing?" Zhu Li said that Chen Tong appeared here and said with a smile, "However, this little slippery head will not let go, and is only willing to open a small-scale community supermarket in the east area first, saying that he will try the commercial capacity of the new city first...... I said that this kid hasn't read any books, and this word is made up one by one, which scares me and Lao Chu. ”
"In the center of the street, I took down the entire ground floor to run a supermarket, with an area of 2,000 square meters, which is small?" Chen Tong pretended to be unconvinced.
Shen Huai smiled and tapped Chen Tong and said, "Lao Zhu said that you are a little slippery, you have to admit it, I haven't seen Lao Zhu see anyone wrong......
Almost at the same time as the city's renovation project on the north shore of Cuihu Lake, Pengyue Lianshang self-selected shopping mall began trial operation in late June, and it has been nearly four months so far.
The prime location, coupled with the fact that Donghua City has become increasingly mature and unmet in recent years, has proved the great success of the new business model in Donghua since the day of its soft opening.
Of course, perhaps more importantly, like the Pengyue International Hotel in Beishan, Pengyue Lianshang was able to achieve great success during the trial operation, mainly because it has no other competitors in the business district on the north shore of Cuihu.
Before Shen Huai took up his post in Xiapu, Beishan Hotel, as the county government's reception office, already represented the most high-end catering and accommodation standards in Xiapu County, and the actual software and hardware supporting facilities may be able to meet the basic requirements of a star-rated hotel.
This also shows the overall level of the catering and hotel industry in Kasumigaura.
On the basis of the original county reception, Beishan Pengyue invested 80 million yuan at once to renovate and expand according to the standard of a four-star hotel, and there was no competitor with a little strength in Xiapu County.
However, for more than a year, a large number of factories and infrastructure projects in Xinpu have been constructed, and economic and trade activities have become dozens of times more active than before.
This also caused the Beishan Hotel International Hotel to complete the expansion, nearly 400 rooms, even the usual occupancy rate is rarely lower than 70%, half a year turnover of nearly 200 million.
In other cities, even if the scale of the five-star hotel is larger, it may not have such performance in half a year.
At the end of the day, there are no competitors.
Of course, Beishan Pengyue's good days will not last forever.
Seeing the strong market demand in Xinpu, many hotel groups have successively cooperated with Xincheng Investment Promotion Office to make investment decisions. In the Rainbow Building, which is adjacent to the Karma Xin Building, a three-star hotel integrating catering, accommodation and conference affairs is expected to be put into operation by the end of the year at the earliest.
Maybe Beishan Pengyue still has two or three years to live, but two or three years later, with the emergence of more star-rated hotels and high-end catering business places, its turnover and profit level will inevitably decline to a relatively reasonable level under the strong competition in the market.
Even if there will be other large-scale self-selected markets in the urban area in the next three to five years, Pengyue Lianshang currently occupies the core area of the north shore business district in the center of the city, and the advantages of its location can maintain other competitive advantages.
Of course, the entire Donghua City will not only have a business district on the north shore of Cuihu Lake in the center of the city in the future, and the scale of Lingang New Port will accommodate 500,000 people, which is relatively far away from the city center, and theoretically will form a business district that cannot be underestimated.
Shen Huai also made it clear that he would plan and build a core business district in the central part of the new city.
At present, it seems that large-scale self-selected shopping malls are the necessary supporting businesses in the core business district.
At a time when the scale of the construction of the new city is less than one-tenth, it is difficult to say that there will be other investors who are willing to spend a lot of money to build a large self-selected shopping mall in the empty new city center, and Zhu Li wants to encourage Chen Tong, who has just achieved great success, to come in.
However, Chen Tong is not carried away by the current success, and is only willing to invest in a small supermarket in the eastern area first.
The 2,000-square-meter supermarket looks like a large scale, but it can only be regarded as a community supermarket.
Chen Tong actually wants to take the business model of combining the core stores of the business district with the community chain stores, and Shen Huai has heard him nag before. This business model is also quite mature abroad, but the newly established Pengyue Lianshang is the first to eat crabs in Donghua City. Chen Tong did this, with his considerations, Shen Huai would not object to anything.
***********************
Zhou Qian got out of the car to say hello to her boyfriend, Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin naturally had a reason to get out of the car and come over to say hello to Zhu Li, Chu Yiliang, Chen Tong and Director Wang of the Municipal Planning and Design Institute.
Zhou Qian and Xu Zhi have been in love for two years, and Wang Weicheng met Xu Zhi when he was still teaching at school.
Wang Weicheng could see that Xu Zhi's face was a little stiff, and it was no wonder if he thought about it:
In this society, men still regard women, especially beautiful women, as their vassals.
If a man has the strength, he may not mind that his beautiful girlfriend attracts the admiring or greedy eyes of other men, but Wang Weicheng will not think that Xu Zhizhan has this confidence at this time, and Zhou Qian's appearance is indeed more eye-catching.
Shen Huai didn't look at Zhou Qian and her boyfriend, his eyes swept over Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin, and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
Hearing that Shen Huai was rushing people, Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin didn't dare to have any opinions, so they could only introduce them head-on: "It's really a coincidence, the planning and design of the new campus happens to be going to find Director Wang of the Municipal Design Institute to do it with XCMG - XCMG happens to be Teacher Xiao Zhou's boyfriend......"
"Oh, Director Wang Mingda and I are old friends," Shen Huai grabbed Wang Mingda's shoulder from the Municipal Design Institute to show affection, and stretched out his hand to Zhou Qian's boyfriend, "It's the first time I've seen XCMG." I believe that the engineers recommended by Director Wang to participate in the planning and design work of our county must be extremely talented. I'm Shen Huai, and a lot of planning and design work in our county will have to bother XCMG in the future......"
Shen Huai also deliberately said a few more words of praise, thinking that this would make Zhou Qian's boyfriend feel better, but he could also feel the stiffness of his palm when shaking hands.
Seeing Xu Zhi stiffly shaking hands with Shen Huai, he was very rude and didn't even introduce himself, Chen Tong was unhappy when he looked at it next to him, but Wang Mingda looked at Xu Zhi's behavior a little abnormal, and helped Zhuan Huan beside him: "Xu Zhi is a little boring, but it is indeed the backbone of our hospital that has just grown up, it is a donkey or a horse, and you will know it at a glance at County Magistrate Shen......"
Shen Huai didn't care about Xu Zhi's rudeness, he laughed after listening to Wang Mingda's words, and said to Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin: "Okay, since you know Director Wang and Xu Gong, then stay too......"
Shen Huai didn't drive Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin away, because he was afraid that Zhou Qian would stay in a dilemma, anyway, what was going to be discussed next was not a secret, and there was no need for Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin to avoid it......
