When doing business, there will always be off-seasons and peak seasons, but a fully functional shopping mall that integrates clothing, jewelry, restaurants, and movie theaters generally has no off-season or peak season.
Even if the turnover does drop, it will generally not drop by much, and it is unlikely to drop to the terrifying level of 30%.
Thirty percent, this figure made Qin Susu a little panicked. In order to increase the turnover, she specially held several activities, but the effect was still not good, and the turnover was decreasing every day.
In fact, even some merchants in the mall now have opinions about her and feel that she is not suitable for managing the mall. All kinds of shady voices have appeared among the merchant groups.
"Could it be your two brothers who are causing trouble secretly?" Fang Ming asked his guess.
"Impossible. My two brothers are not so capable. How can those merchants still listen to them and not sell goods?"
Qin Susu shook her head. The relationship between the shopping mall and the merchants is actually a rent-collecting relationship. Except for a few self-operated stores, other merchants have settled in, and they just pay property fees and rent every month.
As for preventing consumers from coming to shopping malls for consumption, that is even more impossible. Where people consume is voluntary and no one can control it.
"Sister Su, it's useless to ask me about this business matter. I'm not in business."
Fang Ming spread his hands. He was not a business genius, so he couldn't be of much help in the business of shopping malls.
"If it's just a business issue, I won't come to you, but Fang Ming, we doubt it has anything to do with business operations."
Han Qiaoqiao spoke, "There is a rumor in the mall recently that the location of this mall is yin, so the manager of the mall must be a man, because only men can control the Feng Shui of the mall. If it is a female manager,
There will be problems with the Feng Shui of this mall, and eventually the entire mall will close down."
After hearing Han Qiaoqiao's words, Fang Ming was silent for a moment and looked at Qin Susu, "Sister Su, do you believe it?"
"It's not a question of whether I believe it or not. It's because the old man in the family already believes it. I hired a Feng Shui master a few days ago. The Feng Shui master said that the shopping mall has a very strong negative energy. Many people must have died underground. It must be a male.
Calm down."
Qin Susu had a look of disappointment on her face. In terms of business acumen, she was better than her two brothers, but she really had no choice about Feng Shui. To be honest, she didn't understand Feng Shui at all.
"If someone died under this shopping mall, or if there is a mass grave, then the yin energy is indeed very strong, but generally speaking it has nothing to do with people. Your two brothers are not powerful enough to suppress a person.
The level of Feng Shui in the shopping mall.”
Fang Ming expressed his judgment that the Feng Shui aura could not be suppressed by people alone, so what the Feng Shui master said was nonsense.
"Fang Ming, do you mean that the Feng Shui master lied?" Han Qiaoqiao asked.
"That should be the case, but I can't guarantee it 100%. After all, if your two brothers have extremely powerful fortunes, the kind of special fortunes that can be chosen by one in a million people, or pure Yang numerology, then it is possible.
of."
Although Fang Ming is not 100% guaranteed, who is Qin Susu? A true business elite
She had already heard from Fang Ming's words that this was most likely a conspiracy between her two brothers to fight against her. The Feng Shui master might have been invited by her brother.
And judging from the current results, his second brother is the most likely, because his second brother has already surpassed his eldest brother in the current assessment. As long as he is eliminated again, he will be in charge of the Qin family.
"Mr. Fang, what should we do now? The old man at home has no doubts about what the Feng Shui master said."
Qin Susu asked Fang Ming for advice, and Fang Ming pondered for a moment, "It's better to go to the mall to see the specific situation."
"Then let's set off. Anyway, Sister Susu, your shopping mall is not very far from here. It will only take half an hour."
Fang Ming and the other two agreed, and soon Han Qiaoqiao went to change his clothes, wearing short sleeves and shorts, revealing his beautiful long legs and skin, wearing a white hat on his head, and then put on a pair of sunglasses.
, suddenly dressed up as a beautiful young urban girl.
…
Half an hour later, Qin Susu's car arrived at the shopping mall and was about to go to the underground parking lot, but Fang Ming stopped her.
"I'll just stay here, just in time to observe. Please park your car and call me and I'll come in."
Because of Han Qiaoqiao's celebrity status, even if he dresses up, there is still a risk of recognition if someone stares carefully, so naturally he cannot go through the main entrance of the mall.
Fang Ming got out of the car alone, and it happened to be at the main entrance of the mall. There was a temporary parking space here. Many people who came to shop took taxis and got off here.
“Zhengxin Shopping Mall.”
Fang Ming glanced at the four large signboards on the main entrance of the mall. This was not a chain supermarket. It was probably the only one in the city. To be honest, there were not many such exclusive supermarkets anymore. They were all used by national chains and even multinationals.
Large supermarkets have been swallowed up and squeezed out.
Fang Ming looked around. The entire shopping mall was located on the edge of an intersection. Directly opposite was the center of the intersection. Opposite the intersection was a bank.
The layout of the mall is in a fan shape. In addition to the main entrance, there are two side entrances on both sides. Outside the sides are parking lots for electric vehicles and the like, and there is also a row of shared bicycles.
A very common shopping mall layout. Fang Ming did not wander outside, but walked into the mall. Entering from the main entrance, there are watch counters on both sides, Rolex, Longines and other brands, and then entering are some small cosmetics counters.
The first floor below is a supermarket, Fang Ming did not go down. The second floor is clothing, the third floor is home appliances, the fourth floor is a restaurant, and the fifth floor is a movie theater and video game mall.
These were all marked on the signboard of the shopping mall on the first floor. Fang Ming glanced at it briefly and frowned slightly, because judging from the layout, there was nothing wrong with the shopping mall.
Moreover, this mall has been in existence for more than ten years, and such a layout did not happen overnight. If there was a problem, it would have happened long ago, and it would not have waited until now.
Take the elevator and go directly to the fifth floor. On the right side is the staff area, where Qin Susu and Han Qiaoqiao are already waiting.
"How's it going? Did you see any feng shui problems?" Han Qiaoqiao asked with concern as soon as he entered Qin Susu's office.
"Nothing has been issued yet. If there is a problem, it is that there is evil energy from the road at the door, but it has no impact on the shopping mall."
"What does it mean when the road is filled with evil spirits?" Qin Susu asked from the side.
"The so-called road rush means that the door is facing a road, which generates evil spirits. If it is an ordinary residence, it will definitely have an impact, but shopping malls are different. This kind of road rush evil spirits will have a certain impact on the business of the mall.
It will help.”
Fang Ming briefly explained the evil energy coming from the road. The reason why the evil energy coming from the road is not called evil energy is because it is facing the road, so the energy coming from it is too strong and can easily hurt people.
But what kind of place is a shopping mall? A shopping mall is a place with dense flow of people. The bad energy on the road will be directly resolved by the aura of many people, and this energy also includes popularity.
It can be said that for some densely populated places, evil spirits coming from the road are not only not a bad thing but also a good thing.
"So what went wrong?"
Hearing Fang Ming's answer, Qin Susu had a look of disappointment in her eyes. Is she really going to lose the right to inherit this time?
"The shopping mall business had problems when you took it over, Sister Su Su. Could it be that your second brother did something wrong in the month you took over?"
Han Qiao Qiaozi expressed her thoughts on the side, and when Fang Ming heard Han Qiaoqiao's words, his eyes lit up and asked: "Sister Su Su, please go and see about fifteen days before you take over.
Have there been any changes in the mall?”
"I have a document on my computer, let me take a look."
Qin Susu turned on the computer and looked through the documents about the mall. After a few minutes, she shook her head and said, "Nothing has changed."
"What about the merchant? Has the merchant changed?" Fang Ming suddenly thought of a possibility and asked.
"Businessman, let me take a look..."
This time Qin Susu quickly gave the answer, "One merchant actually changed. Half a month before I took over, a hot pot restaurant was transferred and turned into a dog meat hot pot restaurant."
Although hot pot restaurants and dog meat hot pot restaurants are both hot pot restaurants, there is a gap between the two, because generally hot pot restaurants provide mutton, beef, pork, etc., and rarely have dog meat food, and dog meat hot pot
The restaurant, as its name suggests, specializes in dog meat.
Dog meat hotpot restaurant?
Fang Ming frowned slightly, then a smile appeared on his face the next moment, "If that's the case, then it's probably the fault of this dog meat hotpot restaurant."
"A dog meat hot pot restaurant, what can be so fishy about a hot pot restaurant?" Qin Susu didn't understand how a hot pot restaurant could determine the business quality of a shopping mall. Even if there are dog lovers who don't eat dog meat, the most they can do is not enter.
It's just a hot pot restaurant.
"Don't underestimate dog meat hotpot restaurants, but I'll have to go and see them in person to know if I'm sure."
There was a meaningful expression on Fang Ming's face. Han Qiaoqiao knew Fang Ming and knew that Fang Ming was not a random person. If he said this, there must be a reason.
"Sister Susu, let's go take a look."
"Okay, I haven't been to that hot pot restaurant yet because I don't eat dog meat."
Qin Susu has a pet dog herself, so she never eats dog meat, and has never been to a dog meat hotpot restaurant.
It was exactly 11:30 in the morning, which was meal time. However, when Fang Ming and the others arrived at the hot pot restaurant, they found that the business of the hot pot restaurant was extremely deserted, and there was not even a greeter at the door.
"This doesn't look like a shop owner. The boss has given up on himself?"
Han Qiaoqiao was a little surprised. Logically speaking, when a new store opens, the bosses are very motivated and would have waiters greet customers at the door.
But in this dog meat hotpot restaurant, there was only a cashier sitting at the front desk and no waiters. Fang Ming almost thought he had entered a government agency.
ps; Thank you for everyone's comfort. In fact, Jiu Deng is not that fragile and has long been accustomed to reporting. It's just that I couldn't write the follow-up plot involving Tang Liang, so I was stuck for a day and just re-conceived the plot. Well, tomorrow morning at seven o'clock
I'm sending my mom to the train station, so I won't sleep tonight. I will continue to type. There should be one or two chapters to be updated in the early morning.
