Girlfriends wear 90s clothes and become military wives together

Chapter 448: The largest Shuofeng shopping mall in Beijing

Unexpectedly, he had the honor of having his boss prepare breakfast for him today.

His family lived in the east of the city. Although the capital of the 90s was not as prosperous as in later generations, he had to get up early in the morning to rush to the city center to pick up Zhong Chuchu, which was not enough time to have breakfast.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Chuchu prepared breakfast and milk for him. She is such a thoughtful little boss lady!

There was a hint of appreciation in Afeng's eyes for Zhong Chuchu!

As she spoke, Zhong Chuchu had already sat in the driver's seat and fastened her seat belt. She looked at Afeng who took the sandwich and milk and started eating them, and continued.

"There's nothing wrong with it. There's not much difference in age between you and me. Calling me Young Madam always sounds old-fashioned. It's better to just call me by my name. It's a different era now. We'll have to meet often and discuss work. You often call me Young Madam, which sounds awkward to outsiders."

Since Zhong Chuchu said so, Afeng, a grown man, stopped being shy. He swallowed the sandwich in his mouth, took another sip of milk, a hint of satisfaction flashed across his face, and he cooperated.

"Okay, in that case, I'll just call you by your name!"

After getting the answer she wanted, Zhong Chuchu smiled and gave the order.

"That's right, we're all young people, it's nice to call each other by our names! Let's go and check out the largest counter in the Capital Mall first!"

This time, when they came to Beijing to explore the cosmetics market, Zhong Chuchu, Wang Wenqin, and Bo Li had learned about the Beijing cosmetics market. They found that it was divided into two levels: one was to open one's own shop and do business, which was what people later called the individual industrial and commercial households. The other was to open cosmetics counters in large shopping malls, which was what people later called the counter sales model.

Zhong Chuchu roughly considered the two current sales models for cosmetics and believed that setting up cosmetics counters in shopping malls was the best sales method.

Why? That’s because back then, there was no online shopping or live streaming, and people mostly preferred to go shopping in malls.

Large shopping malls have more traffic. If you open a cosmetics counter in the largest shopping mall in Beijing, you can not only attract the most traffic in the shortest time, but also quickly open up the market through word of mouth of these people.

As for opening a specialty store or becoming a self-employed person, Zhong Chuchu is not considering it for the time being. After all, although their current cosmetics are of good quality, their popularity is far from meeting the conditions for opening a specialty cosmetics store.

Therefore, opening a cosmetics counter in a shopping mall is the best choice.

After learning about this, Zhong Chuchu had a phone call with Ruan Wanxin last night. The two of them discussed and thought that since they had decided to open a cosmetics counter in a shopping mall in Beijing, they should directly find the largest shopping mall in Beijing to open a cosmetics counter.

It’s the largest shopping mall in Beijing, with the heaviest flow of people. It’s a ready-made advertisement, so there’s no need to spend any advertising money.

The only downside might be the somewhat high cost of a counter in a mall. However, Zhong Chuchu and Ruan Wanxin believe that higher rents for mall counters also increase foot traffic and exposure. Since they sell cosmetics, they can simply raise prices appropriately, following the principle of rising tides lift all boats. As long as their brand recognition is established and people recognize the quality and effectiveness of their cosmetics, a 10 or 20 yuan increase is perfectly acceptable, and they don't need to worry about counter rent.

Compared to what Zhong Chuchu was thinking in her heart, A Feng certainly didn't know at the moment. He had already stuffed the sandwich that Zhong Chuchu made for him into his mouth in a few bites, drank the milk swiftly, and accurately threw the milk carton and sandwich packaging bag into the trash can beside him, saying with a serious face.

"Okay, Zhong Chuchu, sit down and we'll be right there."

His boss has already instructed him to stay with Zhong Chuchu during this period. If Zhong Chuchu tells him to go east, he will definitely not go west. Not to mention that Zhong Chuchu wants to go to the largest shopping mall in Beijing to look at display cabinets, even if Zhong Chuchu says she wants to wander around the Forbidden City, he will have to accompany her immediately.

With Afeng as their free navigator and driver, Zhong Chuchu and Afeng easily arrived at the largest shopping mall in Beijing.

After getting off the car, I looked at the people coming and going in front of me. The huge shopping mall in front of me, which was as high as the sky, had ten floors, and each floor was crowded with customers who came to buy things. It can be seen that these days, the consumption power of people in Beijing is not low.

As long as the consumption is not low, it’s fine. She is afraid of encountering customers who have no desire to consume. Thinking of this, Zhong Chuchu curled the corners of her mouth slightly, looked at the huge shopping mall in front of her, and said to herself in her heart.

"Beijing, here I come!"

Then, Zhong Chuchu brought Afeng and squeezed into this huge shopping mall in Beijing.

After walking up and down the ten-story shopping mall, Zhong Chuchu was exhausted. A Feng remained silent throughout the whole process, following behind Zhong Chuchu like a loyal wolfhound.

Zhong Chuchu took Afeng to a place that sold drinks and sat down. They ordered a drink for each other and a hint of cunning flashed in Zhong Chuchu's eyes.

Shopping in the mall is indeed tiring, but she also accurately found the best prime store, which is the counter on the first floor.

Just now when he was shopping, he deliberately looked at the counters on the first floor. Most of them sold clothes, shoes, socks, pants, and bedding, but there were no cosmetics. But without exception, these stores selling daily necessities were crowded with customers, which shows that the first floor is indeed the best prime storefront.

As long as she finds a store she likes, Zhong Chuchu believes that no matter whether there is a cosmetics counter on the first floor, she will become the ace of the cosmetics counter on the first floor.

In this way, after determining the location of the cosmetics counter, Zhong Chuchu and Afeng finished their drinks and immediately went to knock on the door of the mall manager.

The mall manager was a slightly plump old man who looked to be in his 40s. He was wearing a suit that didn't fit him well, and his fat body was squeezed into the suit, as if it would burst at any second. When he saw Zhong Chuchu and Afeng coming in, his beady eyes rolled around, as if he was trying to guess their origins.

Zhong Chuchu, however, went straight to the point and stated her purpose directly.

"Excuse me, are you Manager Yang, the person in charge of Shuofeng Shopping Mall? My name is Zhong Chuchu, and I came here today to ask if there are any vacant counters or shops for rent in this mall? I'd like to rent a counter in the mall to sell things."

As soon as Zhong Chuchu finished speaking, the man called Manager Yang withdrew his gaze from Zhong Chuchu and Afeng, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he rubbed his hands.

"Little girl, you want to rent a counter in our mall? What are you planning to sell?"

Zhong Chuchu looks to be around twenty years old, with a childish expression on her face, making her a young girl who is just starting out. Only her bright eyes reveal a maturity beyond her age. The man following behind her, on the other hand, looks decisive and experienced.
