In a few months, Britain has become a new battleground for Alice's career. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info After all, I have been studying in this country for many years, and it would be a pity if I couldn't leave some permanent marks before leaving.

On the south bank of the River Thames in the City of London, the Millennium Bridge is nearby, and Vanda is home to its first commercial plaza. It's the northern part of South London, a long way from the larger residential areas further south, and it's located in the heart of the city, with a large number of office workers during the day and traffic during rush hour.

Construction began in February, and by the time late April arrived, the outline of the complex had already taken shape. Stone slabs pave a wide space of tens of thousands of square meters, six 150-meter-tall skyscrapers stand on the south bank of the River Thames, and multi-purpose office buildings cluster a seven-storey shopping mall.

At the same time, "Vanda Square is the center of the city", this rampant advertising slogan, can be regarded as a clear memory by the endless commuting crowd.

"Very, very, very, really thank you very much!"

At the entrance of the construction site, the silver-haired Phil Belen held Alice's hands, her white face flushed, and she was obviously so excited: "This supermarket is a third bigger than our own family!" And you don't want a little share, just a little rent...... We've doubled our turnover! I—I mean ......"

The senior sister was so excited that she couldn't speak, the senior sister thought about it, and it was better to just let her speechless, and affectionately took two sips on her face: "Don't talk about those useless ones, what do we have to do with it, do I still need your shares?" Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Belen. ”

She turned to her parents who were playing soy sauce and said, "Let's not stand here stupidly, let's go in and take a look." ”

Mr. Belén had short platinum-blond hair, and Mrs. Belém had the same silver filament as her daughter, and I don't think the rest of their children would have thick hair. The two are exquisitely dressed, elegant in temperament, and graceful, and they know that they must be a combination of handsome men and beautiful women without looking at their appearance.

"Alice, I'm more interested in these office buildings than in the supermarkets under construction."

Everyone walked into the construction site, because the progress of the project had reached the stage of interior decoration, and they were not afraid of staining their clothes in suits and leather shoes. Mr. Belen looked up at the office buildings that were installing the final glass curtain wall, and said with great interest: "How many years of urban development tell us that the construction of office buildings will definitely drive up the housing prices in the surrounding areas, and the distance between this square and the southern residential area is relatively close, will it cause the trouble of rising living costs for residents?" ”

"If it's a new house, it's definitely like this, and as for the people who already live in the neighborhood, it's a benefit." Alice has already had an answer to this kind of question: "As for the new tenants, since the house they bought is adjacent to a high-end office area, it is of course normal for the price to rise. The natural law of economic development, the planning and area of urban functional areas are expanded. ”

You and I chatted casually, and everyone quickly walked into the lower floor of the shopping mall. At this time, the renovation construction was still going on, and the roar of electric drills could be heard everywhere, and the workers were constantly walking around. The entrance to the supermarket is located in front of the newly installed escalator, which is a vast open space, and to the right of the entrance, there is a long corridor leading into the distance.

Madame Belén said, "What is this road?" ”

"The entrance, and then the customer can continue shopping on the street on the way back to the escalator from the exit."

Alice led the family directly to the small shopping street, which was not yet the focus of the construction, but the basic outlines of the shops had already been built. "Fast food restaurants, snack shops, cheap fast-moving clothing stores, tea and coffee takeaways, such an outside-in layout. After all, it's always good for most office workers to be able to eat with a few fewer walks, including anyone coming down the escalator. ”

The Beilun family started by opening a supermarket, and has been operating the "Alice" in Windsor Town for many years. At this moment, walking along this small commercial street with their big proprietor, Mr. and Mrs. Belen looked left and right, constantly wondering what this place would look like when it was completed.

"The higher and more stable the traffic of small shops, the closer they should be to the exits, and the idea is very correct, and I don't think there will be many customers going hungry to the supermarket. Instead, many people can take the elevator to the basement level to have a full meal, and then go to the supermarket by the way. ”

"The innermost small shop should be a boutique type." This is pondering the distribution of the future neighbors of her new supermarket, and Mrs. Belém can't help it. "As Alice said, a coffee and tea takeaway or even a pharmacy! That's right, Alice, didn't your umbrella company buy a pharmaceutical factory, so opening its pharmacy can be regarded as integrating the industrial chain, right? ”

"Oh, thanks for the suggestion, but that's a bit taboo." However, Alice waved her hand and said, "Self-production and self-sale are not typical monopolies." It's okay to say it's small, but I'm going to be the best person in the world, Mrs. Belen~"

The three members of the Belen family chuckled, saying that this shopping street is long enough, and it can be seen that the area of the supermarket is really not small.

Of course, the first commercial real estate of Vanda Company, the first supermarket chain to which the real estate belongs, of course, the façade cannot be bad. At the same time, on the ground, six 150-meter-high glass curtain wall skyscrapers are also an eye-catching new commercial center from a distance, especially since it is still on the banks of the Thames, such a unique location.

A visit to a small shopping street, followed by a visit to a whole large supermarket. Of course, Alice will not treat "Alice" badly, she is not short of money, and she directly built a large flat according to the scale of Wal-Mart. You know, she doesn't own any shares of a good senior sister's company, she just collects rent, compared to the wealth that can be obtained by another means, she is really very generous.

"The innermost part is the pharmacy!" Finally walked to the end of the small commercial street, and on the other side was the cashier concentration area, Alice pointed to the empty seat of the innermost store and said: "You think, many people who like to go to the supermarket are housewives, and their demand for weight loss is not ordinarily high." At that time, I don't need to open a pharmacy, just let them sign a large order with the umbrella? Diet pills! ”

Phil and her mother, of course, laughed, and Mr. Belen interjected, "Pay your rent, sell your medicine, and pay your rent with some of the money from selling your medicine!" Tsk, it's funny, oh yes......"

The family walked towards the inside of the supermarket, and Mr. Belen muttered for a moment: "Alice, I almost forgot that you are still a little writer, so why don't you have a bookstore inside and outside the supermarket?" Like the Harry Potter series you're writing, seven years, that's a lot, you don't have to worry about the bookstore running out of things, right? ”

Now that the topic has been turned here, it is natural that Mrs. Belém has to be excited. Of course, the family will not have only one child, and Phil's younger brother has just turned eleven this year, and then it happened to be around this time to watch Alice's "Harry Potter". Therefore, it is not news that they are clamoring to go to Hogwarts to study, and the family even promised to cancel their planned summer vacation travel plans, just to wait for the owl to hear from them.

"Oh, Harry Potter......"

Since she was with a family, Alice naturally thought of the little boy who inherited her father's platinum hair: "Fortunately, our family's 'Ginny' is better than daydreaming, otherwise...... Actually, I'd love to see her riding a broomstick and jumping all over the house......"

The laughter, especially of Mr. Belém, was exceptionally loud. Thinking about his eleven-year-old son, when the father couldn't help but shake his head: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, although my son is not the same character as Draken-Malfoy at all, he really treats him as a little idol." This stinky boy, ignoring the boy who will not die in a catastrophe, actually worships a villain~"

"But Draco is so handsome!" Senior Sister Phil was not happy with her father's evaluation, and immediately pursed her mouth. Alice agreed. After all, Malfoy's setting is a standard domineering president, at least from a romantic point of view.

Hawkers, the so-called green tea in the eyes of girls, and the sunny and warm men in the eyes of boys, aren't they all the types that the opposite sex likes the most and hates the most?

Well, so to say, the innocent goddess falls in love with the ruffian, the sunshine boy falls in love with the punk girl, and he doesn't have to feel sorry for his falling out of love, it can only mean that someone is looking for the wrong type~

With a huge supermarket and a parents' business, Alice and Phil took a walk in the wide open space. Don't look at the fact that this place is still in the decoration stage, and the ground is still rough cement, but after all, this is also a supermarket, it is a supermarket, how can it stop the psychology of girls who love shopping~?

"If we double our turnover, we'll be able to open a third branch sooner."

Phil was very excited, holding Alice and saying: "Then it's profitable, snowballing, as long as there is no problem with the business strategy and no devastating blows, we will be able to open a hundred stores sooner or later!" A hundred stores, Alice, this is not a Starbucks café, but a hundred large supermarkets! ”
