Chapter 599 - 599 Prototype of Food City
599 Prototype of Food City
They were originally chatting animatedly, discussing things like whether Chu Ning would take advantage of the strong interest to raise prices and whether the location allocated to them would be good. However, when they saw Chu Ning slowly walking over, they quickly quietened down.
Jiang Chuan and the other four were especially proud.
Because they dared to try, they had successfully gotten the ideal position they wanted. These five people had priority in choosing a location in the area that Chu Ning had newly carved out in The Parade.
Chu Ning took a quick glance and didn’t see the person she was looking for in the crowd, so she gestured for Zhang Bo to come forward.
“If you want to rent a venue, come to me. I’ll register and verify it.” Zhang Bo waved his hands and signaled for the merchants to follow him.
After enduring for so many days, the Soaring Clouds Group could finally make a real profit.
Although Chu Ning didn’t think much of the rent, Zhang Bo highly valued it.
Ever since the Soaring Clouds Group lost Cloud Shopping, money had been flowing out every day, but none was coming in. Even though the company still had more than 100 million yuan on its books, it was borrowed from the bank. Now, it had to pay back several million yuan monthly. Zhang Bo was currently involved in account management, so he was even more anxious than Chu Ning.
The rent from these people added up to a few million yuan. This real income was only half a year’s rent.
Moreover, The Parade was massive, and it was very malleable.
Under Zhang Bo’s lead, these people left in a grandiose manner. Before Jiang Chuan and the others left, they even politely greeted Chu Ning. After that day’s verification was made, they would be able to bring their mobile stalls into The Parade the following day.
Chu Ning would give up her power appropriately. On the surface, Chu Ning had given Zhang Bo equal powers within the Soaring Clouds Group.
If Chu Ning wasn’t around, certain matters and decisions would be decided by Zhang Bo.
When Bai Hong and Lu Chao couldn’t contact Chu Ning, even they had to listen to Zhang Bo.
Chu Ning did not see Zhou Wei, who had come to look for her. Zhou Wei had called her the previous day and said that he wanted to visit.
“Where are you now? I’m already at the entrance of the office.” Chu Ning immediately called Zhou Wei.
“I’m looking at your latest creation.” Zhou Wei said with a smile on the other end of the phone.
At this moment, he was watching the person in front of him create sculptures with great interest. When he heard Zhou Wei’s words, the person turned around, thinking that Zhou Wei was talking about him. Zhou Wei smiled at him and gestured for him to continue.
Zhou Wei felt that Chu Ning was very forward-thinking. She was always able to make good use of all the resources around her in a balanced manner, even the spiritual aspirations of most people in this era.
Those who achieved the first point, such as himself, were already very powerful.
However, the people who had the ability to implement the latter part were few and far between.
Just like this unknown artist in front of him; although his sculptures were difficult to comprehend, they were attractive. Chu Ning was very good at discovering the strengths of others.
Chu Ning provided this artist with materials, including daily necessities. He simply needed to create one piece of work after another with his mind at peace. He didn’t have to worry about food and clothing, nor did he have any psychological pressure. As for whether the work was good or bad, it didn’t matter.
After all, these works were not used in competitions or to hit the heights of art. They only needed to satisfy people’s curiosity.
Therefore, everything in The Parade had its own value.
“I’m done with school. I’m in my office now. Come on over,” Chu Ning continued.
“Okay, I’ll be right there,” Zhou Wei replied with a smile.
In fact, she felt somewhat conflicted regarding collaborating with Zhou Wei.
Chu Ning didn’t want others to interfere with her career.
However, based on the current situation, she needed a stable partner. In the end, they were merely taking what they needed.
Zhou Wei needed to use her to gain strength. Didn’t Chu Ning think that way too?
Zhou Hao had not made any moves these few days. Chu Ning understood that it was not because Zhou Hao had given up on targeting her, but because Zhou Wei had secretly exerted his strength.
A few minutes later, the two of them sat opposite each other in Chu Ning’s office.
“Oh, you know that I like coffee, so you specially prepared so many types for me.” Zhou Wei looked at the row of different types of coffee powder on the table. Not only was there a wide variety, but there was also a range in prices.
“You’re my business partner now. How could I dare to neglect you?” Chu Ning said indifferently.
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Zhou Wei nodded and began to pick the flavors he enjoyed.
