Chapter 485: Chapter 220: Do You Have Any Messages for Me to Deliver?

At the same time, the two surrounding commercial buildings were also completed, while other places hadn’t started construction yet. Li Yijun was overwhelmed with work.

At that moment, Li Yijun handed Li Yang a safety helmet and took him to inspect the surroundings.

"Yangyang, everything is built according to your drawings, six floors above ground, two below. Currently, besides the fact that the mall’s decorations are nearly complete, the commercial building has started partial decoration, and the overall decoration will be finished at least by November."

"Mm, then the mall can probably open for business before the end of the year."

Li Yijun glanced around, and seeing no one else was around, he said, "Yangyang, are you really planning to open a mall? Xingcheng Supermarket, this long-established provincial enterprise, is struggling even in the county town. Nowadays, people prefer online shopping, and not many people go to physical stores. Moreover, our decorations are quite luxurious, so the rent will definitely not be cheap. It’s going to be very, very hard to get those merchants to move in."

He had specifically looked up relevant information just to find an opportunity to mention this to Li Yang.

Li Yang smiled and said, "Brother Yijun, this is the decision of the head office. I’m just helping out a bit. Anyway, if there’s a loss, it won’t affect everyone’s salary, so don’t worry."

Li Yijun heard this and said no more, and took Li Yang for a thorough check.

They walked around for over two hours; the building area of Green Water Heaven and Earth was quite large.

A commercial complex with a single-floor area of sixteen thousand square meters.

After seeing it, Li Yang felt that the first step of opening a mall was completed, and the next step was to prepare for procurement.

The third step, employee training, would commence soon, with procurement being particularly thorny.

In a large supermarket, individual products often exceed twenty thousand kinds, and he could only self-operate less than a hundred.

The main categories came from Green Water Group and Jiang Banxia’s Fuguang Group.

Green Water Group could only provide about a dozen, while Fuguang Group offered more, totaling over sixty.

However, some categories could be expanded, and those that couldn’t be expanded would be procured externally.

This side was a lifestyle supermarket, temporarily focusing on daily living.

Eating, drinking, playing, and entertainment take priority!

Anyway, he was copying Pang Donglai. He didn’t believe he couldn’t mimic his work without worrying about costs.

This was Li Yang’s entrepreneurial mindset—he doesn’t worry about profits, instead, he gives benefits to users and employees.

If he had a hundred million, he would be cautious and worry about the old-established enterprises in the county causing trouble and engaging in price wars.

Entrepreneurial thinking with a hundred million is different from having ten billion.

For example, Penguin Group also invested in industries without considering cost in the early stages. It’s just that their large-scale business, with many internal factions, didn’t coordinate well.

A typical future player, the ByteDance series, had extensive coordination between departments. After mastering the traffic channels, they had over twenty software that maintained more than ten million monthly active users, building a very stable ecosystem.

They rose almost invincibly in just a few years.

But they still follow the typical capital thinking, with most expenditures going to traffic sources, and users not getting benefits.

The advantage of this is accumulating a large number of users in a short time, but the disadvantage is... users are all complaining.

They defeated other competitors through traffic manipulation, leaving users with no choices.

For instance, the birth of a certain Car Emperor drew all traffic from other car websites, causing those sites to struggle and no longer update vehicle information, leaving users with no options over time.

After seeing Green Water Heaven and Earth, Li Yang felt assured.

He had a bigger advantage than others because he controlled traffic, and did it at a low cost.

Therefore, he could have both of them.

He wanted both traffic and reputation.

He also needed to continue marketing his ’report-style’ car creation and his ’money-giving’ recruitment.

That evening, he once again checked the net value of the two Wanliu Capital funds.

The net value of Wanliu Mixed Selection decreased by two points.

The net value of Wanliu Navigator Selection fell by 1.7%.

It was evident that Jiang Banxia was making adjustments, and it might have even used its high-frequency trading as a trump card.

Just a glance at the positions held showed they were still hit today.

Meanwhile, Wanliu Navigator Selection, without any purchase restrictions, saw daily increases in subscription funds that were terrifying. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Every day increasing by tens of billions, sucking the blood of other fund companies.

So, those fund companies must tear down the mythology of Wanliu Capital, making the invested money suffer losses to win back users.

It’s not about right or wrong; some conflicts are inherent. You can’t say it’s wrong for Wanliu Capital to want to earn money, nor is it wrong for those people to protect their own interests.

Li Yang must use Wanliu Capital to get money; otherwise, all his industries will be in jeopardy.

As Li Yang was preparing to take a shower and head to bed, he suddenly noticed the living room light was still on.

Quietly walking over, he overheard his parents discussing his birthday.

As they chatted, he heard Wang Cuiping sigh, "If only Ningning were here, it would be so nice for our family to have a meal together."

Li Likun added, "Why don’t we go to the hospital to check if we can have another child? It’s quite boring with just one child at home."

Wang Cuiping rolled her eyes, "Having another kid, what about Yangyang? We can’t have Yangyang supporting another child in the future, right? In a few years, Yangyang will probably have kids of his own."

Li Likun grumbled, "Young people today, can they have kids so quickly? Especially Xiaxia, she’s busy with her career. If she’s not thirty, forget it!"

Unable to hold back when he heard this, Li Yang walked out and said, "Mom, Dad, why are you still not asleep?"

Li Likun hurriedly replied, "Oh, nothing, we were just heading to bed."

"Alright then, you both go rest early. Tomorrow I’m going to Jiangbei to see Ning. Do you have any messages you’d like me to pass on?"

In an instant, both Li Likun and Wang Cuiping stood up from the sofa.

"Is Ningning in Jiangbei?"
