Ji Lanxin nodded first, then shook her head and said, "It's a new store, but I'm not going to open a separate store."

"It's too expensive to open a new store alone. This time I want to find someone to cooperate. In recent years, you have also seen that consumer groups are concentrating in business districts and stores. With more and more hypermarkets, one-stop service is becoming more and more widespread, and the operation of separate stores is no longer popular.

I want to find a hypermarket to cooperate with, rent their counters, learn from other jewelry stores, and open counters in supermarkets and stores."

Ji Yuanzhong nodded in agreement when Ji Lanxin said this.

The advantages of hypermarkets are becoming more and more obvious, which is obvious, and there are more and more jewelry counters in supermarkets.

It was a good thing in the past few years, but with the growth of supermarkets and stores in the past two years, it has become even more difficult for them to survive in separate stores.

This is also the helplessness of small and medium-sized jewelers. It doesn’t matter to those well-known jewelers. Most of them open stores, but they open separate stores.

Why?

Because they have this reputation guarantee, no matter whether your store is far away, they will trust your brand.

But Jinding Jewelry has not yet reached that level. In Pingchuan, Jinding Jewelry can only be said to be a jewelry store chosen by middle and lower-level civilians. Real high-end people rarely come to Jinding Jewelry for consumption.

Supermarkets and stores are the concentration of middle and lower-level civilians. If you really open a special counter, it is a good way out.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuanzhong asked, "Have you thought about this a long time ago?"

"I had a general idea before, and the one I really decided was the person I just met."

"who?"

"Li Dong!"

"Li Dong?" Ji Yuanzhong thought for a while, then asked, "Li Dong from the Far East Supermarket?"

Ji Lanxin nodded and smiled, "Dad, do you know where I met him?"

Ji Yuanzhong smiled and said, "Can you still be at our doorstep?"

Ji Lanxin looked at her father with admiration and said with a smile: "Dad, it's a loss if you don't go to be a god's calculator."

"What, really?"

Ji Lanxin nodded, and then told her about Li Dong's purchase of Villa No. 16.

Ji Yuanzhong thought about it and thought for a while, and said, "When Li Dong moves over, you invite him to our house as a guest. I will discuss the matter of entering the mall with him."

Ji Lanxin said with a headache: "Actually, I have considered Yuanfang before, but this matter is not that simple. Dad, you probably don't know that Yuanfang has always been a life supermarket, there are not many large shopping malls, and has never cooperated with the jewelry industry before. I'm afraid Li Dong may not agree."

Ji Yuanzhong smiled and shook his head, "This is not necessarily the case. If you didn't do it before, it doesn't mean you don't do it now. Yuanfang has expanded rapidly in the past two years, and there are more and more large shopping malls. Sooner or later, it will be necessary to enter the jewelry industry. Cooperating with us is a win-win result. As long as the price can be negotiated, Li Dong will most likely agree."

Ji Lanxin thought about it, and she would not suffer any loss when she talked about it. She thought about looking back and looking for an opportunity to invite Li Dong to have a meal before talking about it.

...

The Ji family father and daughter were discussing the entry into the mall, but Li Dong was also considering this issue after Ji Lanxin left.

In the past two years, Yuanfang stores have become more and more stores, and there are many large shopping malls.

Gold, silver and jewelry have always been a shortcoming far away. It’s not that Li Dong doesn’t want to do it. He originally planned to do it himself, but later he found out that this industry is too deep and Li Dong dared not get involved easily.

Now, Li Dong is too lazy to do it again.

Eating alone is not necessarily a good thing, nor does it necessarily make more money than others. If that is the case, it is necessary to find one or several jewelers to cooperate with.

Jinding Jewelry was also what Li Dong just thought of. In fact, what Li Dong had always wanted to cooperate with before were those large jewelry companies.

The famous name of the Golden Ding is still a little smaller. After leaving the Pingchuan River, there are not many people who know that the Golden Ding jewelry are so they are not very helpful to the distance.

However, if you only cooperate in Pingchuan, Jinding is a good choice. Jinding Jewelry is still a bit famous in Pingchuan's middle and lower jewelry market, and can also create a win-win situation with the distant places.

Of course, Li Dong would not mention this kind of thing himself.

If Jinding Jewelry is interested, he will naturally talk to him. If he doesn't talk to Li Dong, it doesn't matter. There are many middle-level jewellers in Jiangbei.

Yuanfang is now the leader in Jiangbei's retail industry. He has the choices, but jewelers like Jinding Jewelry do not have many choices.

Li Dong is not a charity hall. If you settle in the jewelry store in the distance, you naturally have to pay enough price. It is easier for others to ask you for a price. If you go up and find someone, it will be the other person's turn to pick on you.

It is not as fast as the distance, and it is not urgent to enter the shopping mall in jewelry stores. Li Dong is not panic now.

Without thinking about Ji Lanxin, Li Dong walked around the community. When he returned to the villa, the sanitation had been almost cleaned.

Chen Rui often came to live before and arranged for people to clean it. The villa was not too dirty.

Six people cleaned, and within two hours, the entire villa was sorted out.

The people from the housekeeping company used a small truck to pull all the things Li Dong didn't want, and Li Dong didn't look at it much. There was no things he had in the villa, so he wouldn't care about anything he could pull away.

After all the housekeepers left, Li Dong entered the underground garage.

Turn on the lights, the garage is much brighter than before. People from the housekeeping side should have cleaned the garage. It is very clean and the ventilation is good.

The garage was almost empty, and at first glance, there was nothing special.

If there is a special place, those domestic workers will not be able to find it.

Li Dong was not surprised at all. He walked around the garage, then stopped and knocked on the walls or on the ground from time to time.

After turning around for half a circle, Li Dong couldn't help but frown. Did he guess wrong?

The reason why the garage lights are so dim is that Chen Rui’s personal preferences are different?

Or is it that it hides too deeply that I haven't noticed it?

Li Dong didn't know whether he should continue to search. In fact, even if he really found something, it would not be of much help to Li Dong.

Even if the Chen family father and son are greedy, they will not be able to greed hundreds of millions or billions. Such a lot of money will not be so easy to hide.

If you search for it all the time, it would be impossible, or just a few dozen or millions, it would be really not worth wasting too much time on it.

However, this kind of treasure hunting feels a bit exciting, and how much money is not the most important thing.

Anyway, I've been wasting a lot of time. Now it's getting dark and I have nothing to do when I go back, so why not keep looking for it.

Thinking of this, Li Dong continued to squat down and search. After a while, the voices of Tan Yong and others came from outside the garage.

"Mr. Li, are you here?"

"Mr. Li?"

Li Dong stayed in the garage for more than an hour and didn't go out, and Tan Yong and others were already a little anxious.

Seeing that it was getting dark and before Li Dong came out, Tan Yong finally couldn't hold it in, so he went to the garage to search.

Hearing Tan Yong's shouting, Li Dong twisted his stiff neck and shouted to the outside: "Old Tan, I'm here. Go to the tool room to look for it and bring a hammer over."

Although I didn't know what Li Dong wanted to do, Tan Yong didn't ask much, just as Li Dong was fine.

After a while, Tan Yong carried a small hammer into the garage.

Li Dong signaled him to close the door, and then said to Tan Yong: "Old Tan, please help me find out if there is any empty floor or underground dark room in the garage."

"Background dark room?"

Tan Yong looked at Li Dong with a suspicious look. Could it be that the boss is confused?

I just bought a villa, even if there is an underground dark room, I can’t tell whether there is anything in it. If you, a big boss, don’t care about the company and don’t go back home, you are looking for a dark room here?

After thinking about it, Tan Yong didn't say anything. Since Li Dong had given the order, he would just do it.

With the help of Tan Yong, the new force, the two of them were much faster and they quickly read all the remaining places Li Dong had not seen.

Unfortunately, I didn't find anything. Seeing that Li Dong seemed a little disappointed, Tan Yong couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li, what are you looking for?"

Li Dong shook his head and sighed: "I originally thought I could find something exciting to see if there is a treasure of the corrupt officials here. Now it seems that I am wrong."

After saying that, Li Dong stretched and said to Tan Yong: "Forget it, I won't look for it anymore, just try to have fun, and forget it if you don't."

Tan Yong nodded, and Li Dong said as he walked out, "Go back, I've been wasting an afternoon. By the way, when you look back, you can find a few people to help me get the pillars in the hall. The golden color is so dazzling..."

Speaking of this, Li Dong suddenly stopped and looked back at the garage.

After looking for a while, Li Dong suddenly said, "Old Tan, do you think the garage can use so many load-bearing pillars?"

Tan Yong was not a fool either. He immediately counted it and then said, "It seems that there is no need. There are eight load-bearing pillars here, six of which seem to have existed originally. The other two have no effect at first glance. If you really look closely, it will be a little unnecessary. It is a little too close to the few pillars next to it."

Li Dong laughed and said, "I'm just saying it, it's interesting. He is really talented. With this skill, it's great to have the right path."

After laughing, Li Dong said to Tan Yong: "Get the hammer and smash it."

Tan Yong hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, you go out and rest first, I'll just smash it."

Li Dong waved his hand and said, "I'm going to do it myself, what are you afraid of? If it's really a load-bearing pillar, we can't knock it down even with a few hammers."

Tan Yong thought about it, so he stopped persuading Li Dong.

Li Dong was actually very curious. What was that guy Chen Rui hiding in the villa?

Money? Jewelry? Or something else?

There wouldn't be much money for two pillars, but Li Dong doesn't care anymore. It feels so good to find a treasure after going through a lot of hardships.

Now he wants to see with his own eyes what he has found now.

Why did that guy Chen Rui sell his villa to himself?

Also, since Chen Rui has left something here, is he going to come back and pick it up?

But even if two pillars of such a large size are removed, the movement will be quite good. Can that guy Chen Rui ensure that he can take them back?

All these doubts are waiting for me to reveal them.
