Compared to established shopping malls like Huanyu Tianjie and Great World, Jinsheng Plaza was relatively young. It had just opened last year, in 2011.
Pei Qian still remembered that when he first came to Great World, Jinsheng Plaza opposite was still in the final stages of renovation.
However, it had been a year since it opened, and Jinsheng Plaza was still not particularly famous in Jingzhou. Its turnover could not be compared to that of Great World.
It was only one street away, but the flow of people going to Great World was obviously much larger than Jinsheng Plaza.
The reason was more complicated.
One of the reasons was that one of the few subway lines in Jingzhou led directly to the underground of Great World. If customers wanted to take the subway to Jinsheng Plaza, they would have to walk out of Great World or get off at another station and walk for ten minutes.
In addition, Great World had been open for a long time after all. There were more big brands inside. Many customers nearby had formed a habit and subconsciously thought that Great World was better than Jinsheng Plaza. Thus, they could not be bothered to go even if it was only one street away.
Most people found it difficult to go to a shopping mall. They did not have the energy to go to two.
Coupled with the fact that the GPL league was located in Great World, the number of customers in Great World crushed Jinsheng Square.
Of course, after the start of the GPL competition, Great World could not completely accommodate so many tourists because they had to receive tourists from all over the country. The restaurants inside were often full. Thus, a group of people came to Jinsheng Plaza, increasing the number of customers there.
However, overall, one was eating meat while the other was drinking soup.
Jinsheng Plaza was a shopping center that tended to be 'young, fashionable, and creative'. This was also reflected in the architectural style.
The structure of the building was like a square with a concave corner. The concave position was facing the crossroads, echoing the Great World on the other side.
At the concave position was the entrance to the plaza. There was a huge semi-circular area above, making the entire building's style both angular and round. It was very modern.
The outside of this circular platform was a huge glass curtain wall that extended to the other two outer walls of the building.
Does it look like a huge window?
It was extremely imposing.
Pei Qian could not help but frown. He remembered the last time he was here.
He remembered the last time he came here, this place was completely covered.
It did not seem to be open to the public.
This was the first time he saw the true face of this place.
Liang Qingfan explained, "I've asked. This place was originally planned to use glass walls on a large scale.
He wanted to be as eye-catching as possible. However, it was the most difficult part of the whole building, and the boss of Jinsheng Square was not satisfied with the previous result.
So one year after the opening of Jin Sheng Square?
This place is also under renovation. The entire area is sealed off and no customers are receiving them. "
"But it's all done now!"
"I liked this place very much, so I talked to the boss of Jinsheng Square."
"When he heard that Tengda was going to open its first large-scale experience store here?
Welcome and full support! Not only did he sign a long-term contract with a 40% discount on the original rent?
He also promised to waive the rent for half a year. "
"Of course, this area alone is not enough. The area of this semicircle is only more than 2,000 square meters, even if it was separated by the construction before, so there was no commercial
The number of floors added together is only about 5,000 square meters?
It obviously doesn't meet your previous requirements. "
"So, I asked the mall if they could sell the shops around this area.
Try to allocate as much as you can.
The more, the better. "
"So, the mall tried their best to give us another two thousand square meters?
This area is from the first floor to the top floor?
However, it's basically near the escalator in this area. "
"A total of seven thousand square meters?
Although it's still a long way from your previous target of ten thousand square meters, I thought about it. After all, this is a core commercial district. It would be difficult to squeeze out such a large space. Moreover, seven thousand square meters is enough for us to use for a long time. So, I accepted it. "
"Because this area was under construction, there weren't many shops. After a friendly negotiation, the shops that had already moved to an empty space slightly further away. Of course, in the end, the mall came forward and gave some compensation. The space was a little bigger, but the rent didn't increase."
Pei Qian was confused.
"Wait a minute, you said that the rent was 40% off for half a year, and you even chased away the surrounding shops?"
"Tell me honestly, does this mall belong to Shenhua Real Estate? Or does Boss Li have shares in it? "
Such generous treatment made Pei Qian involuntarily think of the unbearable past that he had experienced in Shenhua View.
Liang Qingfan was stunned for a moment and then shook his head. "No, Boss Pei, why do you think so?"
Tian Mo was confused as well. "Aren't these conditions too generous?! A 40% discount. How much money would that be if it's calculated on the basis of five or ten years? "
Liang Qingfan smiled. "Is a 40% discount a lot?"
"To be honest, if I didn't like this place very much, especially this glass wall, I would have fished him for two more days and haggled!"
"Jinsheng Square knows very well that Tengda not only brings them rent but also a huge flow of people!"
"The Great World opposite is hosting the GPL league. GOG players from all over the country would come to watch the competition and spend money there. How much traffic is that?"
"However, the subway entrance is on the other side of the Great World. In addition, the overall quality of the restaurants and shops in the Great World is higher than Jinsheng Square's. Thus, most of the traffic is intercepted by the Great World. Very few people really come to Jinsheng Square."
"Jinsheng Square invested a huge sum of money to build this building, but it can't attract customers. Isn't that a loss?"
"However, the situation would be completely different if Tengda's experience store were to be opened here!"
"Through the glass wall, one would be able to clearly see the entire Tengda experience store from the roadside and even from the shops on the side of the Great World!"
"Would those people who came to watch the GPL league come to take a look?"
"Without the Tengda experience store, the distance of one street would be like the distance between heaven and earth. But with the Tengda experience store, the distance of one street would only be a two-minute walk away. The difference is huge!"
"Just like the retail stores of PINEAPPLE cell phones. They would be able to get extremely preferential rent in any shopping mall in any city. What's more, no shopping mall would dare to raise the rent casually. That's because PINEAPPLE cell phones could attract a large number of shoppers and increase the shopping mall's sales by an average of 10%."
"Is a higher rent more important or an additional 10% of sales more important? This is a multiple-choice question that even elementary school students wouldn't get wrong. "
"Tengda might not be able to reach such a level in other cities, but in Jingzhou, especially next to the GPL venue in the Great World, and it's the first large-scale experience store, it still has such bargaining power."
"What's more, the reason why the other shops are so cooperative is because they know that Tengda's entry would bring them quite a lot of customers. If we end up choosing another place because of their rejection, they would lose more than they gain. "
"That's why these shops are willing to give us space. That way, even if the location of the new place is a little worse, the customers we bring and the compensation given by the shopping mall would still be profitable!"
"Apart from that, the boss of the shopping mall has also decided to invest money to build a bridge here. It will go straight from the entrance of the Great World to the entrance of Jinsheng Square! This bridge will be a transparent sky passage with escalators. No matter what happens, the customers on the other side will be able to come here smoothly! "
Tian Mo was shocked after hearing Liang Qingfan's explanation.
He had known that Tengda was very influential in Jingzhou, but he had not expected it to be so influential.
Not only did the shopping mall welcome them with open arms, give them the green light, and get busy, but even the shops inside were willing to cooperate!
They had squeezed out seven thousand square meters of space in a shopping mall in the city center!
This kind of thing couldn't be done with money alone.
Tian Mo could not help but look at Boss Pei with great admiration and even worship.
Boss Pei's personality was very approachable. Thus, after interacting with him for a long time, there would always be a natural sense of closeness. However, the ridiculous deeds reminded Tian Mo that Boss Pei might look easy-going, but he was actually a true big boss.
Take the current situation for example. Tian Mo was already extremely shocked. However, Boss Pei was expressionless and could not be seen at all.
Wasn't this Boss Pei's first time here? He should have known nothing about these things before, right?
However, his face was still as calm as ever.
Obviously, similar situations had happened many times. Boss Pei was already used to it.
Tian Mo could not help but sigh to himself. He had seen too little of the world!
He had to learn from Boss Pei and remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
As for Zhuang Dong, he obviously did not completely understand what Liang Qingfan was saying. He only felt that it was very impressive.
If there were bullet screen comments at this moment, he would be following Tian Mo and mindlessly spamming 666.
However, Pei Qian was shocked by Liang Qingfan's words and temporarily fell into a daze.
Rent was 40% off and half a year's rent was waived. What's more, the entire shopping mall, including the shops, had spontaneously vacated space, including the areas that had not been opened previously. They had forcefully gathered a total area of more than seven thousand square meters and a large number of shops that spanned across several floors!
Not only that, but the shopping mall owner had to pay out of his own pocket to build a transparent overpass!
This was undoubtedly bad news for Pei Qian!
Not only did he save a huge sum of rent, but this huge glass wall and the overpass that was about to be repaired in the future would also attract customers from Faraway World because of the location!
Thinking about it this way, this experience store might as well be in Faraway World!
There was still a lot of traffic, but the rent would definitely be much higher in Faraway World. What's more, it would definitely not be able to gather seven thousand square meters. At most, it would be one to two thousand square meters.
How could it be like now? The flow of people, the area, the money, none of them could be avoided. Everything was taken up!
Wasn't this creating difficulty for the salespeople to dissuade customers?!
Pei Qian looked at Tian Mo meaningfully. Liang Qingfan's location was not light on him. He could only rely on him now.
Tian Mo immediately nodded in understanding. "Boss Pei, don't worry. I'll definitely do a good job in the experience store. I won't let such a good location down!"
Pei Qian: "…"
He pondered for a long time but had nothing to say in the end. He could only look at Liang Qingfan and say, "Alright, go in and take a look."
