Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

But department stores only sell goods and have no other functions.

However, the urban commercial plazas of later generations are comprehensive urban commercial systems that integrate shopping, strolling, leisure and entertainment.

Of course, it is difficult to build a square that is exactly the same as the ones in the future, but Liu Hongyi will try his best to make it closer to the commercial squares in the future and have the basic functions.

At most it's a little rustic.

But in the early 1980s, once such a city commercial plaza was built, no matter how rustic it was, it was undoubtedly the best in the country and was synonymous with high-end, atmosphere and class.

In Liu Hongyi's plan, Daning was to become not only a large-scale production base like Chuzhou, but also a commercial center, fully leveraging its role as a provincial capital. It was to become not only the commercial center of Jingjiang, but also the radiating influence of surrounding provinces.

It all started with large wholesale trade centers and urban commercial plazas.

A huge, multifunctional urban commercial plaza integrating food, drink, entertainment and recreation will become a catalyst for the rapid advancement of reform and opening up.

Once this commercial plaza is built and demonstrates its great "power", it will naturally become a trend.

Even the supermarket model will appear many years in advance.

Xin Yuanjia, Yan Xue and Xu Wenxin accompanied him on the inspection as usual.

They are now completely "fascinated" by Liu Hongyi. God knows how he can have so many strange ideas in his mind.

It's like an enormous treasure that can never be fully dug out.

You were still marveling at his extraordinary thinking the previous second, thinking that it was the best and nothing could be better, but who knew that the next second he would come up with something even newer that would leave you stunned.

For example, this is the case now. After seeing the "luxury and high-end" of the Haoyun Hotel, people thought that this was the "ultimate model" of future hotels, but Liu Hongyi said that he wanted to build a city commercial plaza.

The key is that he also persuaded Ai Gaofeng to agree to his "nonsense".

In fact, it is easier to convince Ai Gaofeng than Liu Chuan.

Ai Gaofeng's drive is unmatched.

After listening to Liu Hongyi's description, he immediately became excited and decided to do it!

And indicated that the city commercial plaza should be built near the train station.

"Uncle Ai, why build it near the train station?"

Liu Hongyi asked with a smile.

Ai Gaofeng laughed and glanced at him: "Why, are you testing Uncle Ai?"

Liu Hongyi's expression clearly meant that he was "testing" him.

"If we want to do this, the train station is the most suitable place, as it has the largest flow of people. Foreign visitors who come to Daning have to go to the train station first. When they leave, they can just stroll around the commercial plaza and buy some things to take back. It's quite convenient."

Liu Hongyi laughed.

"Uncle Ai, great minds think alike."

"However, since we've built this commercial plaza near the train station, I'm afraid there's another company that needs to get started first."

"The police station at the train station... Oh no, let's just set up a public security bureau."

Liu Hongyi remembers a time in his later life when Daning Railway Station was quite famous, but not for good or bad reasons—it was plagued by pickpockets, thefts, and countless scammers, prostitutes, and honey traps.

The situation was chaotic and greatly damaged the reputation of Daning as the provincial capital.

Now, we must nip this situation in the bud.

A police station, even a large one, may not be able to control the situation. It is better to go directly to the Public Security Bureau.

"Uncle Ai, once this commercial plaza is up and running, it'll be the face of Daning. When that happens, customers will flock in droves, but I'm afraid thieves will also flock in droves. Locals and out-of-towners will happily shop and spend money there, only to find their wallets stolen when they check their pockets... Daning's reputation will be damaged."

When Ai Gaofeng heard this, he immediately said, "You're right, this situation is really possible."

After Ai Gaofeng became the first secretary of the Daning Municipal Party Committee, he attached great importance to the improvement of social security, just like when he was in Chuzhou. He organized a series of crackdowns and dealt with a large number of social scum. The social security situation in Daning improved significantly.

However, Daning is a big city after all, and its size and scale are far larger than Chuxin County. The city has a large population, which means that there are many more educated youth returning to the city and unemployed young people than in Chuzhou. Without timely resettlement, these people are all destabilizing factors.

Although Daning has been working hard to build factories and businesses over the past year or so to quickly accommodate these unemployed people, the time is too short and there are still many people wandering the streets.

Social security is always inferior to that of Chuzhou.

There are many pickpockets in the areas around train stations and bus stations, and it is difficult to catch them.

"Okay, then we'll set up a police sub-bureau near the train station."

Ai Gaofeng's personality has always been like this. He will readily accept any reasonable suggestions.

The next morning, Ai Gaofeng did not hold a meeting, but directly invited the mayor, two relevant leaders in charge and the director of the Commercial Bureau to his office for discussion. Liu Hongyi gave a speech, describing the feasibility and future development prospects of this city commercial plaza.

The mayor, the leaders in charge of the city and the director of the commerce bureau are all capable and knowledgeable. After listening to Liu Hongyi's introduction, they felt that this thing can be done and it will definitely be a hit after it is done.

In principle, everyone agreed.

Only one city leader in charge cautiously raised the question of whether such a shopping mall might have directional problems.

Ai Gaofeng waved his hand and said, "What are you afraid of? It's just a bigger department store. It's just to make it easier for people to buy things. Beidu has it, Mingzhu has it, and Nanfang has it too. Why can't we have one in Daning?"

"It's convenient for the people and can boost the economy. What can't we do?"

"Just do it!"

The city leader in charge swallowed his saliva and fell silent.

Anyway, that's Ai Gaofeng's temper. If he decides to do something, you just go ahead and do it. If something goes wrong, he won't let you take the blame; he'll take full responsibility.

That being the case, what else is there to say?

Just do it!
