"Distinguished leaders, distinguished guests and friends,

Good morning!

With the care and support of leaders at all levels and friends from all walks of life, after careful preparation, Carrefour East Lake Branch opened today! On the occasion of this celebration, on behalf of all the staff, I would like to express my warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the leaders, guests and customers and friends who attended the ceremony!

……

Finally, I sincerely wish all leaders and guests good health, smooth work and all the best! I wish the Carrefour branch a prosperous opening and a prosperous business!

Thank you!"

After Lu Xiumei finished speaking, the welcome lady immediately brought the ribbon up, and the next link was to cut the ribbon. There were a total of four guests for the ribbon cutting, in addition to Lu Xiumei and Director Zhou, as well as the branch manager Mr. Jia and the property representative of the office building.

As the ribbon was cut, the sound of firecrackers sounded at the same time, and the Carrefour East Lake branch was officially opened. Li Dong gave a thumbs up to A-Niang who stepped off the stage, and the little girl was also applauding vigorously.

"Auntie, what you said is better than the governor." Li Dong praised.

"Well, that's not that exaggerated. By the way, what did Director Zhou tell you? I see that Jia Lin has been suffering from a bitter face. Lu Xiumei said curiously, it was not easy to ask on the stage just now.

"It's a great thing, our third branch has been settled, maybe it will open this month. Mr. Jia estimates that he is going to be busy again, and it is normal to give a little face. ”

"So fast, what the hell is going on? You make it clear to me. Lu Xiumei said anxiously, she was afraid that her eldest son would be deceived.

Li Dong briefly told the matter of the high-tech zone, which dispelled the suspicions in Lu Xiumei's heart. But she is still not at ease, everything has pros and cons, and it cannot be generalized.

"Auntie, don't worry, anyway, you have a bank loan, and you can get a house purchase certificate, which is a good thing that you can't meet with a lantern." Li Dong persuaded.

"Then why don't others do it, just you are smart?" Lu Xiumei never believed in pie in the sky.

"It's also a coincidence, others don't have the conditions of our family. By the way, Mr. Jia will accompany me to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in the afternoon, and the branch will be handed over to you. Li Dong also felt that he was the head of good luck.

"Let's go, let's go, my son has grown up, and my mother's words don't work." Lu Xiumei deliberately sarcastic.

"Okay, A-Niang, don't scold me, how dare I disobey you. Besides, with Mr. Jia following, even if you don't believe in your son, Mr. Jia, you have to rest assured, right? ”

Li Dong said this reasonably, Jia Lin is another good talent that the headhunting company is looking for for him, and A-Niang also praises him well. In his last job, he was the Regional Manager of West Malaysia Department Store, where he managed five or six outlets and has keen market analysis and insight skills.

"Jia Lin, I'm relieved, but will you listen to his advice?" Lu Xiumei knows her eldest son better than anyone else, and she looks humble and humble on the surface, but in fact, she is prouder than anyone else in her bones.

"Hehe......" Li Dong didn't want to deceive A-Niang, so he could only be vague.

"Hehe, remember my mother's words, think twice before doing anything." Lu Xiumei said earnestly.

"Auntie, I remember, I must listen to you."

Can't blame A-Niang for being long-winded, she doesn't know that she has space, and she doesn't know her economic strength, she just wants to protect her children.

……

There is still a lot of traffic in the morning, especially fresh products, which are highly sought after because of their high quality and low price. In less than ten o'clock, the sales volume successfully exceeded 100,000, and the start was very successful.

After lunch, Li Dong said hello to his family and left, and Mr. Jia had been waiting by the car for a long time. Originally, the appointment was in the afternoon, but the sooner the better, the sooner you value, and it also shows that you respect others.

"Director Zhou, didn't bother you, did you?"

"How can I bother, I've been waiting for a long time." Director Zhou was surprised that Li Dong came so early, but he was even happier with the meaning behind it.

The rest of the negotiation process was in charge of Jalin, who was a professional, measured, and knew how to deal with the government. The staff brought a map of the capital, Li Dong discussed it with Jia Lin, and finally decided to open the third branch on Fuxing Road.

First, the community here is dense and populous; Second, it is also to take care of the government's wishes, after all, this is the hardest-hit area, and it is the most symbolic; Last but not least, there is a ready-made hypermarket, which has been smashed but can be opened with a simple renovation.

"Director Zhou, let's choose this Lejia shopping center, I don't know how much it costs?" Li Dong asked, pointing to a small dot on the map.

"I'll see, well, it's a five-story shopping mall with a total floor area of 15,000 square meters. Boss Li, are you sure? "Director Zhou didn't expect Li Dong to have such a big appetite.

"That's right, Carrefour just lacks a shopping mall, and it's just right here." Anyway, if you have a loan, it's better to take out a little more, and there will be no next store in this village.

"Well, according to the record above, it is a total of 52 million yuan. Boss Li, don't you think about it anymore? ”

Director Zhou's forehead was sweating, this was really a lion's mouth. Originally, the house purchase certificate they provided could only buy an area of less than 5,000 square meters, and even if they chose such an expensive building, they really opened the bank as their own home.

"No need, Director Zhou, the building can't run away from there anyway, what are you worried about?" Li Dong is typical of standing and talking without back pain.

Director Zhou couldn't do this, so he could only contact the mayor by phone. After repeated communication and access to Li Dongjia's financial report, the mayor finally agreed, but asked the bank to have a stake like Xiaoyu Farm.

"Boss Li, the city agreed to the loan, but in order to reduce the risk, the bank asked for shares." Director Zhou explained.

After another war of words, Li Dong finally got 70% of the shares and had a debt of 36.4 million. Similarly, the company should be financially independent and subject to the supervision of the bank, which is basically a copy of the farm model.

In the next few days, Jia Lin was mainly responsible for the construction of supply channels and investment promotion, after all, the shopping center is too big, and it is necessary to find those old customers as much as possible.

On the first day, he went to register a new company, and then went through the transfer of ownership of the shopping mall and other procedures. Fortunately, with the approval of the city government, the speed is already the fastest.

The next day, Li Dong contacted Fatty's company to redesign the shopping center, and the second branch was their company's work. Due to the rush of time, only minor adjustments were made, and the original style was continued overall.

On the third day, he found the headhunter and posted a new assignment. At the same time, we will go to the talent market to start recruiting ordinary employees, and of course, we must also transfer some employees from the East Lake store to come over for emergency.

On the fourth day, Li Dong sent a batch of vegetable seedlings to the farm, and in the afternoon, he sent three truckloads of water. He has found a way to release water continuously, in fact, it is very simple, as long as he lies down in the lake, he can use his mind to make the lake water appear in the outside world continuously, and the coordinates are the position when he enters the space.

On the fifth day, he interviewed the person in charge of the shopping mall, this time a female applicant, and signed the offer letter on the spot. Zhang Longhua, graduated from a prestigious school, has 12 years of supermarket management experience, especially familiar with cutting-edge fashion.

On the sixth day, Li Dong went to inspect the shopping center, which was not bad, and finally looked like a large shopping mall. In addition, some merchants contacted by Mr. Jia have also begun to settle in.

On the seventh and eighth days, a large number of trucks began to drive into the shopping mall, and Lu Xiumei led the staff to organize and display the goods.

On the ninth day, it officially opened.

If it weren't for his personal experience, Li Dong couldn't believe that they had opened the shopping mall in just nine days, and sure enough, they were forced to succeed.

For shopping malls, the city government has carried out large-scale publicity campaigns, and the results are also obvious. Li Dong specially lowered the price of fresh products, and with high quality and low price, he really won back the confidence of some residents.

Seeing that the situation began to improve, the city government breathed a sigh of relief and remembered Carrefour, a company that was willing to stand up.

It was also on this day that Li Dong finally got his long-awaited certificate of account acceptance. Not because of his contribution this time, but because his investment has greatly exceeded the minimum standard of 5 million.

Although the investment money is all from loans, the successful operation of the shopping center shows that Li Dong has the ability to repay, and the investment will naturally take effect immediately.
