ALL NOVEL Chapter 245 Xinghai Plaza opens
In the early morning, a light mist shrouded the streets of Wencheng, as if casting a veil over the city.
Pedestrians wore thick clothes and walked in a hurry to resist the slight chill.
On the streets, the ringing of bicycle bells and the constant sounds of hawkers and shouts brought a touch of warmth and vitality to this slightly cold morning.
Before nine o'clock, bustling crowds began to gather around Xinghai Square, waiting for today's opening.
In the center of the square, a huge sculpture stands there. It is the logo of Xinghai Square and represents the new landmark of the city.
The sculpture is surrounded by flowers and colorful flags, waiting for the upcoming opening ceremony of the second phase.
The first phase of Xinghai Shopping Mall covers an area of 5,000 square meters and has a total of five floors.
The second phase of the shopping mall is very large. Together with the first phase, it covers an area of 50,000 square meters, with five floors above ground and two floors of underground garages. The total construction area reaches 250,000 square meters.
It can be said that Xinghai Plaza is the shopping mall with the largest single building area in China. Even twenty years later, the building area will still be huge.
To the south of Xinghai Square is tens of thousands of square meters of green space and parking lots;
There are also hundreds of acres of commercial land to the east, and a commercial street will also be built.
In the open space to the west, a hotel will be built, and further to the west is Wencheng's largest villa area, Lanhuayu'an, and the golf course.
Currently, Lanhua Yuan only has 10 customers who have paid deposits.
To the north is Oubei No. 1 Middle School, which will be relocated after the new campus is built and put into use.
To the southeast, there is Oubei Station, and further east is Oubei Old Pier.
Currently, the Xinghai Bridge is under construction. The construction time has been ten months and it is expected to be opened to traffic in October this year. Countless Vancouverites are looking forward to the early opening of this privately donated bridge to facilitate the passage of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Xinghai Group donated this bridge and won the admiration of all Wenzhou people. This is a true good deed for the people of Wenzhou.
Of course, what most people don’t know is that the Xinghai Group earned more than the 100 million from the land donated to the bridge.
The old pier was demolished and a temporary pier was built nearby.
Xinghai Square has a unique location. Once the bridge is opened, roads will extend in all directions and the transportation network will cover the entire city.
At nine o'clock, the opening ceremony of the second phase began. Jingtian walked onto the makeshift stage and announced the official opening of Xinghai Plaza.
Suddenly, the masses, employees, and merchants burst into applause and cheers one after another.
This was followed by a wonderful artistic performance, with dancers dancing gracefully and singers singing loudly, bringing an audio-visual feast to the audience.
Li Li works in a public institution in Wencheng City. She is just 22 years old and unmarried. In the past few days, Xinghai Plaza has conducted publicity activities throughout the city and announced that the second phase will open today.
Usually, she and her daughter or colleagues often go to Xinghai Mall to shop, go shopping, and eat. There are dozens of food stalls outside the shopping mall selling various snacks, which are also loved by the public. This is also Li Li's favorite.
The only bad thing is that you need to ferry across the river, which is a little troublesome.
She heard that the bridge would be opened this year, so it would be much more convenient for her to ride there, and she planned to go there when she had time.
The opening of Xinghai Shopping Mall has made the dock business better, especially during the Chinese New Year, when you need to queue up.
But after the bridge is completed, the ferry business will definitely decline.
It can be said that in the shipping business, Xinghai Group succeeds and Xinghai Group fails.
After the second phase of Xinghai Plaza was put into use, the shopping mall area was several times larger and the playability was even greater.
Li Li made an appointment with her best friend, and they crossed the river together at the pier at ten o'clock in the morning.
At this time, hundreds of people gathered at the pier waiting to cross the river. Shouting and whistles were heard one after another, making it extremely lively.
After waiting for a while, Li Li and her best friend finally boarded the boat to cross the river.
The span of the river was only five to six hundred meters, and we soon reached the dock on the other side of the river.
The surrounding people were discussing Xinghai Square, and along the way, people could be seen rushing to the front.
The pier is only two to three hundred meters away from Xinghai Square. After walking uphill for a while, you will see the five-story Xinghai Square building and its eye-catching LOGO.
After a while, the two of them followed the surging flow of people and arrived at Xinghai Square.
Li Li looked at the lively scenes around her and said excitedly: "Xinghai Square is really much bigger than before. I feel like I can spend a long time shopping there!"
"Yes, I heard that there are a lot of new shops and entertainment facilities. We must take a look around." My best friend also looked forward to it.
As people walked into Xinghai Plaza, the shopping mall was crowded with people, bustling and bustling, especially in individual shops.
"Oh my god, there are so many people, the boss is going to be so happy."
"Last year there were more people, and the number of visitors was limited. Now that the second phase is open, there is no limit on the number of visitors."
"Then maybe, once the bridge is opened, it will be crowded to death."
Li Li and her best friend were chatting enthusiastically. At the elevator on the first floor, they saw the layout of the shopping mall.
The layout of the first phase has not changed. The first floor of the second phase is dedicated to high-profit product counters such as high-end brand service stores, jewelry stores, and high-end cosmetics stores, as well as KFC and coffee bars.
The second floor usually houses fashionable clothing, shoes, bags, accessories, etc., mainly mid-to-high-end brands;
The third floor is usually dominated by children's businesses, including children's clothing, toys, education, etc. There are also some parent-child entertainment facilities, where you can see children playing and playing in the entertainment venues.
The fourth floor is mainly for catering, mainly special restaurants and local snacks;
The fifth floor is mainly for leisure and entertainment, such as arcades, cinemas, etc., as well as fitness centers, SPA centers, etc.
The supermarket and electrical appliance store are on the first phase side, and the first and second phase buildings are connected together.
The entire shopping mall is dominated by diversified business formats, meeting consumers' needs for one-stop shopping, leisure and entertainment.
At present, the films are mainly Hong Kong films, which are nothing interesting. They are played repeatedly every day and are operated internally by Xinghai Group. There are still some empty spaces on the fifth floor that are not occupied by businesses, such as spaces reserved for Internet cafes.
The arcade is mainly for entertainment and there is no gambling. Fang Bai does not allow slot machines to enter. Maybe these can make money, but they can easily attract gangsters.
But there are also some unsighted gangsters who, when causing trouble in Xinghai Shopping Mall, are quickly subdued by security guards and sent to the police station.
Today, the public security environment in Wencheng is much better than last year, especially in the Oubei area.
Li Li and her best friend walked around for a long time, but unexpectedly it was already lunch time, so they found a specialty restaurant for dinner. The restaurant is elegantly decorated, has rich dishes, and considerate service, making people feel very comfortable.
"There are so many people today. It is estimated that the number of people in the entire mall at this time is no less than 20,000." Li Li looked at the crowd of customers in the store and said with emotion.
"It's probably more than that. You see, this small shop is packed with customers. There are nearly a hundred people inside, and there are people queuing up outside. There are dozens of small shops like this on the fourth floor, not to mention those big brand restaurants. "Yeah." My best friend added, "I haven't heard of many brand stores. They are probably new."
"Wencheng's future commercial center will definitely be here. No wonder everyone is buying a house nearby. After dinner in the evening, you can take a walk here. Life is so comfortable."
"It's a pity that Xinghai Plaza was not built in the urban area."
"It is difficult to demolish urban areas. Xinghai Group directly acquired thousands of acres of nearby land to develop real estate. After the construction is completed, it will continue to expand to the surrounding areas. It is equivalent to a new urban area. It has a blank paper and is easy to draw, and the land is It’s cheaper, Boss Fang must have thought of this, land acquisition in urban areas is thankless.”
"I didn't expect that shopping malls can still be like this. It can be said to be the first comprehensive shopping mall in the country. It is not easy to follow the trend. The investment is too large and brand merchants are willing to settle in. Otherwise, it will be an empty shopping mall."
"With so many customers spending money, how much money does Boss Fang's family make in a day?"
"I don't know, it's hard to imagine anyway. People probably don't like this shopping mall's ability to make money. Look at the villa area next door, which costs tens of millions of yuan. I heard that Mr. Fang has a career in Shanghai and earns more. There are two such Xinghai Plazas under construction, and they are even bigger. There are also factories covering thousands of acres. Each product sells for millions. VCD machines alone sell millions of units. Banks can’t print money as much as others. high speed."
"Niubi, when it comes to doing business, it depends on us Wencheng people."
Li Li and her best friends were talking about Xinghai Plaza enthusiastically, and the surrounding customers were also discussing this mall, which gave people a brand new experience and left them unforgettable.
