Chapter Thirty-Three: Business Opportunity (II)

  "Good idea!" Du Huahua couldn't help but laugh, "Let's go eat something first and then come back, I'm starving from being busy since this morning."

  Ning Qingmin glanced at his watch and saw that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. He looked surprised and said, "You didn't skip lunch, did you?"

  "Follow second brother to handle things, then have time to eat."

  "Why didn't you say so earlier?" Ning Qing said with a stomp of her foot. "We can go look at the shops after we finish eating too."

  Two people walked out of the mall entrance and headed towards the Flowery Hotel. Du Huahua pointed along the way, saying: "Look, that side is the most prosperous White Horse Mall, next to it is Tianma Mall. This side has Jinma Leather Goods Mall, do you see that tall building? It used to be Hei Ma Mall, but due to poor management, the boss changed and it was renamed."

  Ning Qing nodded and sighed, "Bai Ma is so prosperous, other shopping malls want to borrow its prosperity, and they have named various horses, but unfortunately, the black horse didn't make it out, and the name was lost." A few years later, there were also Yi Ma, Tie Ma, Jun Ma and other wholesale markets, none of which were as prosperous as Bai Ma.

  "Baima Market was established in '93, at that time it only took 20,000 yuan to get in, now the minimum is over 400,000 yuan." Du Huahua gazed out at Baima Market, "Development is really fast."

  Ning Qingmin followed him, looking at the Bai Ma Commercial Building, thinking to herself: In a few years, not only will it be over 40 million, but even the first floor will require over 100 million to enter. Occasionally, there are situations where things have prices but no market.

  The new wholesale market, the first floor is woolen products, the second floor is knitted goods, the third floor is casual wear and sportswear, the fourth and fifth floors are high-end fashion, and the sixth floor is rented to large companies as a branch office. The planning and management of the mall are very perfect. After several years, it has indeed become prosperous.

  Two people arrived at the restaurant and ordered food. It wasn't until then that Ning Qingming remembered he hadn't seen Du Huajia, so he casually asked: "Where's your second brother? He hasn't eaten yet either, has he?"

  "Second brother wants to sign a new wholesale market on the sixth floor of the building, at the corner of the stairs, six offices as an external office. Unfortunately, there is also a rival company that wants to sign there. Second brother took the initiative and is now negotiating with Cheng Jianjun to connect the six rooms together. The management fee will be calculated by square meter, not by room number, which will be more cost-effective." Du Huahua shook his head, "He doesn't have time to eat, I'll pack some food for him to eat in the car later."

  "As expected. Successful people are all struggling." Ning Qingmin was putting tea into his mouth, making an admiring gesture. "Your second brother is not human!" Seeing Du Huahua's strange expression, he opened his mouth to say something and added a sentence: "Not an ordinary person!"

  "Second Brother!" Du Huahua called out from behind Ning Qingmi.

  No way. He just said one sentence and appeared? Ning Qingmeng was startled. Turning her head, she saw Du Hufa standing behind her. He said calmly: "It's not okay to speak ill of people behind their backs!"

  "Ah!" Ning Qing almost choked on the tea in her mouth. As expected, one shouldn't speak carelessly during the day.

  Du Huajia put his elbow on the back of the chair and placed his coat on it. He beckoned to something. While tapping the table, he said to Du Hua: "After comprehensive analysis from all aspects, the development prospects of the new Wangpai Shopping Mall are not bad. I have already contacted Cheng Jianjun and asked him to reserve ten shops on the first floor for you. You go there after dinner and sign those ten shops in your personal name."

  "Good!" Du Huahua seemed to trust Du Hujia's eyesight very much. Without saying another word, he agreed.

  "I'll go to the restroom!" Ning Qing saw that the two brothers were discussing business matters, occasionally pausing and hesitating, unsure if it was because of her presence being inconvenient for them to talk. She stood up and walked towards the restroom.

  As I came out of the restroom, I saw two brothers eating with their heads down, probably having finished talking. I walked towards the table, but before I got close, a long-legged beauty suddenly appeared and pushed Ning Qingmian aside. Ning Qingmian stumbled and grabbed onto the edge of the table to steady himself. The long-legged beauty then said to Du Hujia: "Mr. Du, I didn't expect to run into you here!" As she spoke, her beautiful big eyes seemed to be mesmerizing Du Hujia.

  "Lin Secretary!" Du Hujia nodded, expressionless, "Where is your General Wu?"

  "I'm accompanying the client, I'll come over here to help them buy coffee." Secretary Lin nodded at Du Huahua, but ignored Ning Qingmian and batted her eyelashes at Du's family, "When will President Du treat me to coffee?"

  "You'd better take care of your Wu boss first!" Du's family slightly frowned, no longer paying attention to Secretary Lin.

  Secretary Lin looked a bit embarrassed and walked away with a cup of coffee after forcing a smile.

  Ning Qingmin secretly covered her mouth and smiled, this Secretary Lin was obviously a woman, seeing her being rejected by Du Hu's family in front of everyone made her feel very pleased.

  "Xiao Ning, what are you smiling at?" Du Huahua noticed that Ning Qing's mouth was curved up and asked intentionally.

  "Nothing!" Ning Qingming hastily replied.

  Du Huajia looked at her and said: "Bottling everything up, be careful of internal injuries."

  Ning Qing's face suddenly turned red with anger, and she gave Du Huajia a resentful glance. "If you don't speak up, no one will think you're mute."

  Out of the restaurant, Du Huajia rubbed his temples and said to Du Hua: "I've already talked to Zheng Tiancheng, from tomorrow on, you go back to your own company to work!" He turned around to leave, then turned back and said: "In the future when going out, drive that Honda at home. Next month a new batch of cars will arrive, we'll pick one out then."

  Watching Du Hu's family walk towards the parking lot, Ning Qingmin took a deep breath and turned to ask Du Hua: "I was going to ask if your factory is hiring, didn't expect you to quit tomorrow."

  "Our company also has several factories under it, after I pass by my own company and see which position needs people, I'll let you know then." Du Huahua smiled, "It's just an ordinary position, not hard to arrange."

  "Thank you first!" Ning Qing said hastily, following Du Huahua across the street to the New Wangpai Shopping Mall.

  As soon as I entered the door, I heard someone complaining about being late.

  "But in a short while, all the good locations on the first floor were gone, only leaving some marginal ones. Unbelievable?" A middle-aged man passing by quickly said while making a phone call. "We need to fight for new clients and must have good locations. Like this, ask other merchants if they have good locations in hand, we'll give them some transfer fees and let them transfer the location to us."

  Ning Qing was stunned, her eyes wide with surprise, and all she knew was that this mall would be popular in a few years. She didn't expect it to be so hot just after one recruitment, fortunately, she acted quickly, or else there wouldn't have been any opportunity left.

  Du Huahua was also a bit surprised, looking at Ning Qing said: "Actually, the second brother found Cheng Jianjun and reserved ten good positions on the first floor, which is intended to be used as a favor. It seems that it was left for you." Smiling again, he said: "It seems that you can really make money, you also find Cheng Jianjun to ask for two rooms, his hands must still have good positions reserved."

  Ning Qing hesitated for a moment before saying: "If I said that the three rooms we just signed were what I wanted myself, would you believe me?"

  "Xiao Ning, looks like you have a business mind." Du Huahua couldn't help but laugh, "In the future when you become a powerful woman, don't forget to take care of me!"
