The two of them stayed on the second floor for a long time in the evening. The woman liked the taste of coffee very much, but she preferred the skills of making coffee and the tricks of tasting coffee.

For this reason, she also went to the first floor to find a book on how to improve her coffee craftsmanship.

Lin Yi kept watching this coldly, but he was secretly happy. Learn it, it would be even better if he could learn Cantonese cuisine.

When it was almost three o'clock in the morning, Zou Yanxia suddenly said softly: "Let's go up."

After looking at the number of pages left in the book, Lin Yi closed it and stood up and felt relieved: "You finally spoke, I've been waiting for two hours."

He said nothing, the woman just turned her head proudly.

When he arrived at the third floor, he saw Lin Yi going to enter the master bedroom. Zou Yanxia suddenly said, "Wait a minute", and then quickly entered her bedroom. When she came out, she was holding an envelope in her hand.

"Who's?" He took the tan envelope and felt like there was a photo inside.

The woman didn't say anything, and her eyes looked at him were a little complicated and had some tricks.

Open the letter paper, there was only one sentence in the huge space:

Talking about a past story, you are my deepest love in the most romantic rainy season...

There is only a pair of military training shoes in the photo, with the two tips one left and one right facing two completely opposite directions.

What made Lin Yi depressed was that the woman Li Yili actually wrote her name on the ground with chalk and stepped on her shoes.

At first glance, this letter seemed to be a love letter, but Lin Yi understood Li Yili's meaning. The word "最" can tell everything.

The two shoe tips showed her determination.

"I'm sick." Lin Yi threw the letter directly to the woman who was eager to try it out, turned around and left.

"Don't you reply?" asked Lin Yi's back, but the master bedroom door slammed and closed.

After thinking about the master bedroom for a while, the woman started to study it over and over again with the letter paper. When she saw the photo, she almost laughed out loud.

But he smiled and slowly fell into deep thought...

I slept too late last night, and when I woke up the next day, it was already past eight in the morning.

Lin Yi took the alarm clock and debugged it, but found that it was not broken. It seemed that he had slept to death. The alarm clock at 6:30 failed to wake him up.

After sleeping for no more than five hours, I still felt a little tired, but Lin Yi still forced himself to get out of bed.

When passing by a woman's bedroom, the door was still locked. When I came to the bathroom, I first patted my face with cold water. I heard that this persistence over the years can not only keep the facial muscles tight, but also have the effect of beauty and anti-aging.

Thinking of aging, Lin Yi looked at himself in the glass and smiled. He was so young, even old age is still 108,000 miles away.

I brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth, cleaned my face, changed my shoes and walked around the outside. I took a stack of newspapers I used to reading from Scar on the first floor.

"My special coffee cup landed on the second floor last night. I just went around but found that it was no longer there."

Hearing this, Scar looked at Lin Yi seriously and realized that it was not a joke. He immediately reached out to see an employee who was sorting out books and asked her if she saw a cup on the second floor.

When she got the answer to shake her head, Scar signaled her to guard the cashier and took Lin Yi to the second floor one after another.

Although it was only early 8:30 and it was Saturday, there were already four people inside.

A man and a woman sat westward and next to the wall. Their communication was made with one piece of paper and two pens, writing and spreading, and all the happiness was revealed on their faces.

A woman wearing glasses was leaning on the bookshelf to read materials, serious and self-centered. The heat from the coffee seemed to be weak, and she was obviously blaming her owner for neglecting it.

The two of them searched again from the entrance inch by inch, but still didn't notice it. They looked at each other and tacitly pointed their eyes at the girl at the window.

When I saw the girl's back, there seemed to be a strong fragrance of books coming to my face.

A black hair is casual and lazy. Some are soft on the neck, some are on the shoulders, and more are hanging on the chest, as if they are drooling at the fullness.

The light blue top and the navy blue knee-length skirt are simple but very comfortable. The girl lowered her head and was writing something rustling, with a stack of books and a black handbag next to her.

When Scar walked over, he was no longer as he had just moved forward, and his momentum was invisibly restrained to the extreme. He gently turned around the girl for a while, and suddenly his face became a little weird.

He looked at Lin Yi, then pointed at the girl secretly with his hand, standing there and trying to leave but it was difficult to leave, as if he was in a difficult position.

Lin Yi glared at him, cursed in secretly and walked over.

The cup specially bought by the long legs was finally found. The girl was holding it as an ink bottle. The dark juice inside made Lin Yi speechless. No wonder Scar looked weird just now.

I looked at the pen used by the girl, and then looked at the garbage can under the girl's feet like a conditioned reflex. There was a cracked ink bottle lying inside, and there was a pile of wiped tissues next to it, and the white paper was dyed dark green.

After looking at the busy girl with her head down, Lin Yi had to sigh and wave his hand to signal Scar to leave.

When the two turned around and left quietly, the girl raised her head slightly, looked at the two blurry reflections through the window, thoughtful to the brown cup, and finally smiled sweetly, lowered her head and started to create again.

Back on the sofa, Lin Yi first flipped through two local newspapers, but he didn't get much money and couldn't find any fun.

I casually put them aside, took the third "Yangcheng Daily" and read it as usual, but I didn't expect that the front-page news would suffocate Lin Yi.

"Yangcheng will hold a high-level seminar on China's retail industry to explore the development path of retail industry..."

After reading this news, Lin Yi suddenly threw it away and hurriedly opened a bundle of newspapers. After a few strokes, he finally found the People's Daily.

I didn't care about sitting posture, and found one of the news and browsed it impatiently:

"Updated by Comrade ***'s "Southern Tour", China's economy has once again accelerated in all aspects. For the development of the retail industry, free competition is encouraged and the market economy is involved..."

Seeing this "free competition" and "market economy participation", Lin Yi was shocked. He knew it was the result, but at this time he couldn't help but feel nervous, worried, excited, and passionate...

All kinds of emotions came together in this moment.

Next, in the "Political Participation News", Lin Yi saw more direct words:

"…For the development of the retail industry, the national leaders clearly pointed out: let it compete freely, "regardless of the best", give full play to the initiative of the market economy, and further relax the threshold for the retail industry..."

Sure enough, the weather was about to change, Lin Yi sighed.

The opening hours of China's retail industry were relatively late than that of economical opening hours. In 1992, the State Council issued the "Approval on the Issues of the Utilization of Foreign Investment in the Commercial Retail Field" and officially allowed foreign-invested enterprises to enter the retail industry in specific regions through joint ventures.

However, the areas that were released at this time were only in clothing and department stores.

He knew: From today on, foreign capital will no longer be limited to the small-scale quarrels like before, and will definitely enter the country with all its might and turn China's retail industry upside down.

Because now it has further expanded to the food and chain business fields.

It can be foreseeable that relevant state-owned retail enterprises that have lost the "protected" of the state will definitely retreat step by step, leaving a large market gap. This is not only cheaper for foreign investment, but also for private retail enterprises like Lin Yi. The mountain above them can finally no longer do whatever they want.

The domestic retail industry is about to enter the situation where foreign capital is rushing to capture land, and private enterprises are sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Lin Yi was both worried and excited when he threw the newspaper.

After thinking about it, I called Su Wen directly: "Have you read today's newspaper?"

"I've seen it, your previous predictions come true."

"You are the same, just didn't expect it to be so soon."

"It's just a pity. It would have been better if I could be half a year later." When I saw this news, Su Wen, who was always orderly, felt caught off guard.

"No, as long as we are prepared, it will be the same as coming sooner or later. Otherwise, we will retreat ten years later."

"Mr. Lin, after reading the newspaper this morning, I suddenly had an immature idea..." Then, Su Wen exploded the news that Walmart was going to build a mass dealer in Futian: "According to the information we collected, the area of ​​this mass dealer will exceed 20,000 square meters, and the location will be no more than one kilometer away from the location we selected."

"You have reached an agreement on the four locations in the Special Administrative Region?" Lin Yi knew that she was in the Special Administrative Region now, but she didn't expect her to move so quickly.

"The government was not so readily before, and there were many constraints on some policies. But the wind suddenly changed the direction two days ago, and the government was much more enthusiastic about us. Everything happened naturally. As of 3:00 yesterday afternoon, all four branches were selected and all of them were taken down."

“…”

Lin Yi didn't know what to say for a moment, but the Futian store was less than one kilometer from the Walmart branch. This is the rhythm of Mars colliding with the Earth and going to heaven.

"Walmart is moving too fast," Lin Yi had to complain. As soon as the policy was released, people had already confirmed the address, and they must have received the news before.

I don’t know who did it or which group of people, such a tight family.

Thinking of this terrifying area of ​​20,000 square meters, Lin Yi was also a little worried: "How big is our Futian store?"

"It's almost 5,000 square meters." Su Wen seemed to know Lin Yi was worried, so he made an explosive suggestion: "There is still 30,000 square meters left in the Futian store. We choose."

After Su Wen said this, there was a silence on the phone.

Of course Lin Yi understood what she meant, "You are forcing me to come out of the comfortable frame."

After being reborn, Lin Yi set various frameworks for himself, such as the debt ratio cannot exceed 35%, which means forcing himself not to walk on the tightrope.

But at this moment, he knew that today's match with Walmart was just a small fight, and more foreign investors would come to deal with him intentionally or unintentionally. Now he suddenly felt that he could not retreat. If he retreated today, BBK would lack a spirit and lose an excellent opportunity to transform.

While Lin Yi was silent, Su Wen's voice came again: "We have already walked this path, there is no other way..."

"But it's Walmart," Lin Yi sighed, saying that if he is not afraid, how could he not be afraid? Only when he is reborn can he realize the horror of others.

"Yes, it's Walmart, so we don't pursue the whole world to defeat it. Let's try the waters from this store first. The road cannot always be smooth and smooth..."

Su Wen's voice was very soft, but it was glutinous but had a kind of determination.

Lin Yi thought in his mind that he didn't respond. He had known that she was the kind of woman with diamonds, but he didn't expect that she was so tough.

After a long time, Lin Yi, who came up with a rough result, said: "If we build an equally large mass sales store, the investment will not be less than 60 million."

"It can be done about 54 million." Su Wen's tone was soft but full of a very affirmative atmosphere, and then explained a series of detailed costs.

Only then did Lin Yi realize that she had received such great policy preferential treatment from the SAR government.

With 54 million, Lin Yi suddenly became a little overwhelmed. Su Wen told him that she could produce up to 12 million at most, and that any more would affect the operation and expansion of the entire Bubugao Supermarket.

Lin Yi didn't know how much BBK Electronics could support the remaining 42 million. However, since he saw the news, he has been burning with his nameless fire, and he said to her with a head:
To be continued...
