After my divorce, I started to have good luck
Chapter 1257 - 656: Taking the Beauty to Check Out the Store (Part 2)
This was within Chen Feng's expectations. With Yuelou Town's economy so developed, it was impossible not to have a jewelry brand store.
After walking through these three stores, there were few customers, and the attitude of the staff was somewhat lukewarm, seemingly not very motivated in their work.
Of course, this might be related to it being morning; generally, these large malls have the most foot traffic in the afternoon and evening.
With nothing else to do, Chen Feng planned to stay in this mall today to observe the foot traffic and the operation of the three jewelry stores.
After visiting the three jewelry stores, Zhao Zixuan said, "I think opening a jewelry store here is more suitable than on the street. I see most branded jewelry is opened in these large malls."
Chen Feng nodded, "That's right. And there aren't many places to choose from in Yuelou Town; this Baijia Square is considered the most high-end place here."
Although Yuelou Town is economically developed, it is still just a town. Having a large mall like Baijia Square already surpasses at least 90% of towns nationwide; there is no place more prestigious than Baijia Square in Yuelou Town to open a store.
"So you plan to open the store here?" Zhao Zixuan asked.
"Mm, unless something unexpected happens, I will open the store here." Chen Feng nodded.
He wanted to finish the store-opening matter early so he could return to Xiu Zhou and continue his carefree life as a leisurely homebody.
Zhao Zixuan suggested, "Then shall we go and ask the mall staff now? It seems there are no extra shops here."
"Sure, I'll check online."
Chen Feng took out his phone to find the contact number for the mall and then found the person in charge of attracting businesses. After a conversation, they agreed on a meeting right away.
The mall's administrative department was on the third floor, so they took the elevator up and easily found their way.
In an office, Chen Feng and his companion met with the Li-named person in charge of external business attraction from the mall.
Chen Feng roughly explained his plan to open a store here and that he needed a ground-floor space of at least 100 square meters; larger was fine, and ideally, he'd like to buy it outright.
The person in charge informed him that all the ground-floor shops were sold out, but there were some available on the second and third floors.
However, Chen Feng wasn't interested in shops on the second or third floor, so he asked if there were any owners looking to sell.
After thinking for a moment, the person in charge said, "Previously, an owner did express interest in selling, but then I didn't hear from him again, so I'm not sure if he still wants to sell."
Chen Feng immediately said, "Could you please help contact him to see if he is still interested in selling?"
"Sure, I'll contact him for you."
The person in charge was quite enthusiastic and immediately found the phone number to call. After some inquiries, he smiled and nodded to Chen Feng, saying, "The other party is interested in transferring, but the price might not be cheap, and it requires full payment in one go. If you have no issues, I can give you his contact number to discuss with him directly."
"A one-time full payment is fine with me, and the price isn't an issue, as long as the store fits my needs."
"Alright, I'll give you his contact information."
"Thanks, if the deal goes through, I'll treat you to a meal."
Chen Feng was not above social graces, but his current status didn't necessitate it.
If necessary, he was quite adept at navigating social situations. The information from this person saved him a commission fee, so both the original owner and Chen Feng would be grateful.
"Ha ha, you're too kind."
The Li-named person in charge readily shared the owner's contact details, and at Chen Feng's request, they also exchanged contact information.
This was also what the person in charge wanted. He was responsible for attracting businesses to the mall, knew many wealthy people, and certainly wanted to maintain harmonious relationships and warmly host guests. This was the main reason he helped Chen Feng contact the owner.
If Chen Feng were an ordinary businessman, or if he hadn't mentioned buying a store, the person might not have been so eager to share this information.
Moreover, having Zhao Zixuan by Chen Feng's side was a significant plus. With such a beautiful woman accompanying him, dressed very fashionably, he naturally dared not neglect them.
This is the reality of a materialistic society, where wealthy people are respected wherever they go and can always find helpful, kind-hearted people.
After bidding farewell to the person in charge, Chen Feng called the owner.
After some discussion, Chen Feng confirmed the specific location of the store with the owner, who asked Chen Feng to check it out in person and contact him again if interested, to discuss the price further.
Chen Feng agreed, then took Zhao Zixuan downstairs to see the store.
The location was on the left as you enter the main entrance, a few meters ahead, just past the store closest to the entrance, making it the second store on the left.
Currently, the store was a women's clothing store, decorated very elegantly, with floor-to-ceiling windows, and clothing inside that looked very high-end at first glance. But in reality, this women's brand wasn't very well-known. Chen Feng searched online; although it had an English name, it was a clothing brand from Guang City with some history, but nothing truly high-end.
This is the sad and awkward reality for many domestic clothing brands; despite styles, craftsmanship, and quality comparable to international first-rate brands, they just aren't as popular or prestigious as those foreign brands.
Even if you invest in advertising and promotion, it's tough to match those famous international brands.
It's a matter of foundational difference, a gap in recognition and acceptance. It's frustrating but just reality.
Chen Feng entered the women's clothing store to look around, and Zhao Zixuan was just browsing but suddenly took a liking to a knit dress and went to the fitting room to try it on.
A few minutes later, she came out wearing the dress, spun around for Chen Feng, and asked with a smile, "How does it look? Is it okay?"
Chen Feng sincerely commented, "You have a great figure and a beautiful face; you look good in anything you wear."
Zhao Zixuan smiled happily.
The female sales clerk nearby timely complimented, "Sir, your girlfriend is indeed very beautiful. This dress fits her very well and looks very stylish and flattering. You're quite lucky, sir."
Chen Feng didn't bother to explain that Zhao Zixuan wasn't his girlfriend; there was no need.
Zhao Zixuan also just smiled without explaining.
"Then I'll buy it." Zhao Zixuan said straightforwardly.
Chen Feng nodded nonchalantly, "As long as you like it."
The dress was priced at three thousand nine hundred. Compared to those internationally renowned brands, this price was nothing, but for a domestic brand, it wasn't cheap at all, equivalent to a month's salary for many people.
Zhao Zixuan bought it quite freely, making Chen Feng sigh that this woman was indeed well-off now.
