Chapter 718: Abandoning the Horse and Trapping the Car

"Uncle Jiang, when will the shopping mall in Jianguomen be renovated?"

"It is still relatively easy to renovate than to build a new one, according to the requirements of the city government, it must be opened before the opening of the Olympic Games, but our own plan is that we think it will be completed by the end of this year."

Lao Jiang paused, he stared at Li Xiangping and said with a smile: "Xiangping, I heard your father say that you agree with Lao Xie very much this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that you single-handedly contributed to it, are you really optimistic about the model proposed by Lao Xie?" ”

Li Xiangping smiled when he heard it, but he didn't reply directly to Lao Jiang's words, after all, as a traverser, some questions are really not so easy to answer.

Take the shopping mall in Jianguomen as an example, in today's years, the most mainstream commercial real estate model in China, of course, is still Lao Wang's Wanda model, in fact, Lao Wang really took off from this time, and he relied on his model to attack cities and land across the country and achieved great success.

However, who would have thought that the domestic Internet could develop so fast, and it would not take long for the once seemingly flawless third-generation Wanda model to soon be greatly impacted by e-commerce--------

In fact, it is precisely for this reason that the later generations of Lao Wang set out to strip off heavy assets, and then put forward the concept of cultural tourism projects, telling stories everywhere to fool people.

But having said that, although the emergence of e-commerce has had a great impact on traditional business models, there are also some areas that cannot be impacted.

For example, if you want to buy a toothpaste or a box of sanitary napkins, you can of course buy them on Taobao, but you must admit that unless there are a very small number of online shopping addicts, most people will not do so, and these things will still be solved at the nearby convenience store.

On the other hand, if you want to buy a luxury item, such as a Hermes or LV bag or something--------- of course, this is not to mention, if a lady says that she has bought an LV bag on Taobao, she will definitely not say it herself, and if she dares to say it, she will definitely be ridiculed by the group.

And the shopping mall near Jianguomen is precisely this model.

How to describe it? Li Xiangping remembered that during the War of Liberation, when our army was liberating the northeast, it adopted a strategy called "letting go of the avenue and occupying the two compartments."

Compared with the traditional Wanda model, the shopping mall that Li Da Tuhao is now preparing to build is actually a strategy of "occupying two boxes".

Seven or eight years later, the shopping mall in Jianguomen will have an annual retail sales of more than 10 billion, becoming one of the only two large shopping malls in China with annual retail sales exceeding 10 billion (the other is in Jinling).

Before Li Xiangping crossed, the annual sales of three such large shopping malls could be equal to the total amount of more than 100 Wanda Plazas in Lao Wang's hands, and the net profit was more than double that of him.

And in 2018, the year when Li Xiangping crossed, a selection was organized in the field of traditional retail, and the shopping mall near Jianguomen ranked second in the world, second only to Walmart in the lighthouse country in terms of commercial value.

So there is no need to say too much, it is still the same sentence, as a traverser, if you don't know, forget it, if you don't have the conditions, you can only forget it, but Li Xiangping knows it, and also has this condition, so of course he won't miss this kind of popular project.

Of course, Li Xiangping knows that he knows, but he doesn't know how to tell Lao Jiang, after all, in today's world, the Internet and the two horses are still in the stage of obscene development, although some masters have seen that they will definitely be able to make a career, but after all, they haven't really taken off, right? And Li Xiangping didn't want to talk about it in front of his elders, and he showed off the things with common sense ten years later in front of Lao Jiang in this era.

After all, it was an online text routine around 2010, but it was almost 2020 when Li Xiangping crossed over, so as a gentleman with pursuits, he felt that he really couldn't be so old-fashioned.

Since he didn't want to explain, of course Li Xiangping could only play haha, he talked to Lao Jiang Yitong and wanted to mix up this topic.

And Lao Jiang actually didn't think much about it. To be honest, the reason why he asked more questions just now was still influenced by the "Galaxy Bay" project-------

You must know that at the very beginning, it was Lao Jiang who sent the information of the Galaxy Bay project to Li Xiangping's house, and at that time, Lao Jiang himself was not optimistic about the "Galaxy Bay", and he put the information of the Galaxy Bay at the bottom.

However, I didn't expect that it was precisely because of Li Xiangping's strong recommendation that Li Da Tuhao did this project, and also made it the biggest hit in the real estate industry this year.

However, since Li Xiangping didn't want to say it, Lao Jiang naturally wouldn't ask, so the two of them talked about it, and soon talked about the last time Li Xiangping asked Lao Jiang for help.

"Uncle Jiang," Li Xiangping said to Lao Jiang with a smile, "Last time I asked you to help teach that kid a lesson, and I didn't cause you any trouble in the end, right?" ”

"Hey! What's the trouble with this," Old Jiang waved his hand indifferently, and then he seemed to remember something, and said to Li Xiangping with a smile:

"Xiangping, last time you fortunately found me, if you want to find your father directly, that's really inappropriate."

"Huh!? Why? ”

Lao Jiang talked about him left and right, and actually chatted with Li Xiangping about gossip:

"Just some time ago, a female star declared that she would not marry a wealthy family, she herself is a wealthy family, you should know about this, right?"

Li Xiangping smiled, and said in his heart, how can I not know this, isn't it Fan Xiaopang and my Fan Ye, her famous sentence is probably known to the people who eat melons on the Internet.

Lao Jiang Lehe continued to gossip: "It's a pity that many people only know one and don't know the other, they just heard this sentence, and they think that Fan Xiaopang is domineering, but they forget what background she said this." ”

"Oh? You also know this Uncle Jiang, when she said it. ”

"Not long ago," Lao Jiang continued to laugh: "Xiangping, you may not know, that kid surnamed Wang failed to pick up girls last time, he changed his goal again, and turned to pursue Fan Xiaopang, just some time ago, he bought a sports car of more than 3 million yuan and wanted to send Fan Xiaopang, but what happened, he was rejected by Fan Xiaopang in person, that is, when she refused, she said the famous sentence that the people of the whole country may know." ”

Lao Jiang paused and continued to smile and said to Li Xiangping: "So Xiangping, you know, Fan Xiaopang said this, where is she really not wanting to marry a wealthy family, she just looks down on the kid surnamed Wang, and thinks that if he is a wealthy family, then she herself is a wealthy family, well, I think this understanding is the right solution, so I just said that you were right not to look for your father that day, lose your job." ”

Li Xiangping was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then laughed, and after laughing, he looked at Mrs. Jiang who was busy not far away, and then lowered his voice and joked with Old Jiang:

"I said Uncle Jiang, don't blame me for being strange, why are you so familiar with Fan Xiaopang's situation?"

"Ahem, Xiangping, don't think about it," Lao Jiang immediately put on a sanctimonious appearance, and also looked at the lady not far away:

"Isn't it because of the needs of my work, that I am more familiar with some situations."

"Need for work?"

"Didn't your father let me be in charge of commercial real estate, Xiangping, you also know that in the shopping mall of Jianguomen, it is inevitable that I will have to deal with the fashion industry in the future, but if you look at those female stars in China, if they are limited to the fashion industry, can they fight better than Fan Xiaopang."

Li Xiangping thought about it carefully and found that it seemed to be true, Lao Jiang's "being able to fight" certainly did not refer to appearance, let alone acting skills, but actually what the post-secular called "the ability to bring goods".

In the first decade of the new century, if you really want to talk about the ability to carry goods, before she became Fan Jiuyi, it seems that there are really few who can compare to Fan Xiaopang.

"Haha, yes, yes, work needs, work needs, Uncle Jiang continue to work hard."

The dinner was all over the place, and it was not until more than 8 o'clock in the evening that Li Xiangping said goodbye and went home.

Well, if the dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year was quite pleasant, then on the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year, when Li Xiangping went to Lao Cai's house to eat, it would be a torment for him.

The torment mainly comes from Cai Shanshan and her mother, she really doesn't treat Li Xiangping as an outsider, she has been shushing and asking for warmth there, and she has been helping Li Xiangping pick up vegetables during the banquet, making Li Xiangping really like her son-in-law.

Of course, Li Xiangping was embarrassed.

Because of the matter between him and Yaya, Cai's mother may not know, but Li Xiangping thinks that Cai Shanshan should know, after all, the two are in the same school, Cai Shanshan also knows Yaya, and more importantly, there is Zhao Daokai's big mouth on the side.

During the meal, Cai Shanshan was of course also present, and she seemed to be as usual.

However, it is precisely because she is doing everything as usual, and her mother is so enthusiastic, the more embarrassed Li Xiangping becomes.

finally survived a meal, and when Li Xiangping was about to find an excuse to slip away, Cai's mother had another moth:

"You young people don't stay at home, you don't want to go outside, yes, you can go to a movie together."

Li Xiangping's scalp was numb when he heard this, and his neck shrank at that time.

Fortunately, Cai Shanshan didn't seem to like watching movies, and she proposed to Li Xiangping:

"Li Xiangping, why don't we play a game of chess."

Hearing this proposal, Li Xiangping was even more embarrassed, and said in his heart that buddy will be a person who will fight dogs in the future, where is he interested in playing with you at an entry-level level.

Of course, Cai Shanshan also saw Li Xiangping's expression, she glared and said:

"I'm not talking about Go, I'm talking about chess."

Hearing that it was chess, Li Xiangping felt that this could be had, and at this time, he remembered that when he first arrived in the capital, he was only 13 years old at that time, and he had played chess with Cai Shanshan.

When Cai Shanshan took out the chess set, Li Xiangping fell into a kind of memory again------ because this chess set was the authentic rhinoceros horn chess that he gave to Lao Cai many years ago.

If you want to say that Li Xiangping is playing Go, but what is the place of the Chinese Chess Academy, there are also many chess masters, and most chess games have something in common, so over the years, Li Xiangping's chess level has also improved, at least much stronger than when he was 13 years old.

And Li Xiangping is like this, it may be due to professional habits, in short, as long as he plays chess now, no matter what kind of chess it is, it is easy to forget other things.

The game of chess ended quickly, and Li Xiangping said proudly:

"Haha I said Shanshan, why haven't you grown up for so many years, I told you a long time ago, this horse can't be eaten, this is a trick to abandon the horse and trap the car, you were fooled seven years ago, how can you be fooled now."

Cai Shanshan sighed faintly:

"Yes, I feel like this car, because I was greedy for this horse, I was stuck here seven years ago, but I didn't expect to be stuck here now."

“……”

Li Xiangping didn't dare to speak at that time, and he didn't dare to play the next game, and after saying hello to Lao Cai and his wife, he fled and left Cai Shanshan's house.
