CHAPTER 774: CHAPTER 326: THIS HAPPINESS CAME TOO SUDDENLY!

In addition, both Jiangdu and Changsha are provincial capitals, and no other prefecture-level cities have well-developed pedestrian streets, so people from throughout the province come here to visit.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingdong glanced at the crowd again and then asked, "When you were in college, which mall did you like to visit the most here?"

Zhou Zhou pointed to a building not far away: "This Pingjiang Mall."

Zhang Jingdong looked in the direction she pointed and curiously asked, "Why do you like coming here?"

Zhou Zhou quickly thought for a moment and then said, "Firstly, the things here are usually pretty cheap, which students can afford."

"And this mall is quite fun, often holding lottery events and sales, which everyone likes to participate in."

"Lastly, and most importantly, the restaurants inside are relatively cheap. When we get tired from shopping, four or five of us can each pitch in twenty to thirty yuan and have a meal inside."

Zhang Jingdong suddenly realized: "You do have a point; it makes sense. Let’s go in and have a look."

The three of them then passed through the bustling crowd and entered Pingjiang Mall.

Zhang Jingdong observed for quite a while and finally noticed that there were indeed many customers who looked like students.

They toured every floor, and afterward returned to the second-floor clothing section.

This level was clearly the busiest floor of all.

At this point, Zhang Jingdong said to Zhou Zhou and the others: "I was a bit worried about customer traffic before coming here, but now with this amount of traffic, as long as what we’re selling is liked by everyone, our business won’t be bad!"

Zhou Zhou nodded in agreement: "Yes, my aunt’s colleague once opened a clothing store here, specializing in couple’s outfits."

"One year, she got a trendy style from Yangcheng City, and it sold exceptionally well, earning a lot of money in just half a year."

"Is that so..." Zhang Jingdong said thoughtfully: "The clothes we plan to sell have already proven very popular both online and offline, so as long as we operate well, we should earn quite a bit."

"Let’s go rent a storefront."

The three of them then went to the mall’s management office on the fifth floor.

After finding the relevant person in charge, since the lease prices are basically fixed, Zhang Jingdong merely discussed some potential issues about renovations with the person, and then signed the lease contract.

After securing the store space, Zhang Jingdong and the others went over to check out the rented storefront.

At this moment, Zhang Jingdong seemed fine, as this business venture isn’t much to him now; his reasons for doing this are to make Zhou Zhou happy and to test her business abilities.

Whereas Zhou Zhou and Zhang Xiaowan were evidently very excited.

Although they knew that being with Zhang Jingdong means they won’t lack money in the future,

spending Zhang Jingdong’s money and spending the money they earned themselves was entirely different.

Plus, the two of them were actually very independent people at heart; otherwise, they wouldn’t have rejected so many rich second generations before.

Moreover, having a clothing store in the most popular mall in the best area of Changsha greatly satisfied their vanity.

After all, in any future scenario, when chatting with others and mentioning having a clothing store in Pingjiang Mall, no one would look down on them.

Zhang Jingdong saw their excitement and said, "From now on, this is the starting point of your careers, and I believe it’s definitely not your endpoint!"

"As long as you work hard and manage well, we’ll definitely be able to open our store on every pedestrian street in major cities across the country."

Zhou Zhou and Zhang Xiaowan were already excited, and hearing this, they were instantly fired up.

"Honey, don’t worry, we’ll give it our all!"

"Honey, don’t worry, I’ll make sure to help Zhou Zhou!"

Zhang Jingdong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Now that the store is rented, the next step is to find someone and renovate it. Let’s go and talk in the car."

The three then went downstairs and out of Pingjiang Mall.

Back in the car, Zhang Jingdong said to Zhou Zhou, "Do you know what the key point to being a boss is?"

Zhou Zhou thought seriously for a moment and then shook her head: "I don’t know."

"The key point to being a boss is being able to accurately discover the strengths and resources of everyone around you and then make use of them."

"Now let me ask you, does anyone around you know about renovations?"

Zhou Zhou thought carefully for a moment and then shook her head again: "No one."

At this moment, Zhang Xiaowan said, "Honey, my second uncle is a contractor; he should know a lot of people in renovation and design companies."

Zhang Jingdong nodded: "Then call him now and get some reliable contacts from renovation companies."

"Okay!"

Saying this, Zhang Xiaowan immediately took out her phone and called her second uncle.

After a short time, she hung up and gave Zhang Jingdong the contacts of three renovation design company owners.

Zhang Jingdong called all three, chatting with each for two to three minutes.

Afterwards, he turned to Zhou Zhou and asked, "Is there a Huayuan Building on Jinling Street?"

Zhou Zhou nodded: "That’s right."

"Let’s go; this renovation company is right across from Huayuan Building."

"Okay."

Half an hour later, the three arrived at Shangju Decoration Design Company.

The boss was a middle-aged man, and upon seeing Zhou Zhou and Zhang Xiaowan by Zhang Jingdong’s side, and their positioning to his left and right, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, and he became more respectful towards Zhang Jingdong.
