After rebirth, I want to destroy my original family

Investors usually invest in the investee, but it is quite rare for the investee to invest in the investor.

However, there are always exceptions.

The best investor of the year in 2013 was now acquired by the big bear she had invested in, but she could not resist at all. She could only grab the other's collar with one hand, bite her red lips tightly, and shake her feet.

She initially said she would not give it to him, but when the other party came closer, she accepted it spinelessly.

If every investor was so easy to deal with, Gu Ming felt that his group buying business could already go global.

After a few minutes of slow attack, Mr. Gu carried his angel to the living room of the suite, and then the whole room was filled with the creaking sounds of the sofa moving under the force.

"I...I want to bite you."

"You haven't been biting me?"

"?"

Zhou Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and frightened her little face, but within half a second she started shaking again.

The angel investors who used to be aggressive become timid and incompetent once they get a stake in the company.

After a long, long time of turbulence, the little rich woman hugged her brother's neck so tightly that her trembling body almost stiffened and she kept sobbing.

Those beautiful eyes are already as red as a little rabbit, and they have a delicate feeling of pear blossoms with rain.

"He invested several million and swindled me out of my money. He should be taught a lesson."

"I haven't cheated you yet."

Zhou Xiaoyao laughed so hard that he couldn't help but say something.

Gu Ming lay on her for a while, then looked up at her tearful expression and thought to himself, I was actually deceived by you a long time ago.

This girl is simply the most visionary investor in the world. She doesn't want money, but people. She is such a clingy person that in the end, she even took the heirloom.

In other words, this trophy may really be well-deserved.

Gu Ming reached out and picked up his investor and went to the bathroom. During these short 56 steps, Zhou Xiaoyao was almost stunned.

I kept calling her brother, husband, bad guy, and little rich woman. I didn’t know which one to call her among the three.

My brother is my husband, and my husband is a bad person.

Zhou Xiaoyao was placed on the wash basin in the bathroom. He kept repeating these words in his mind, and then he began to sob again.

It took 4 months for GroupPin to adjust its internal structure, and another 3 months for subsequent operations and personnel changes. 2013 passed very quickly.

The number of users of Cloud QuickPass has also become stable, and its market value has increased several times.

During this period, 4G mobile phones have been continuously launched on the market, and various home 4G routers have been rolled out first.

During this time, he visited Alipay's unmanned vending project and organized the Beijing branch to conduct a street questionnaire survey on the use of payment software.

I have been struggling for more than ten days.

More than ten days ago, Joy City officially opened. Gu Ming did not show up, but he just transferred a reporter from the branch of Tonight Headlines to ask a few confronting questions to liven up the atmosphere.

He was very busy during the opening period and had no time to come and cause trouble, so he sent a large number of employees to draw the lottery.

Until now, when we are free, the real things against Joy City have just begun...

At night, when the lanterns came on, the trial operation of group food began. Although tonight was not a holiday, there were still huge crowds of people coming in quickly, so that all the heads were moving under the lights.

The uncle who went to Joy City to beg for food some time ago took a taxi back, but when he came back he found that his original position had been taken by a friend, and now he could only hide in a slightly remote corner and curse people.

Beggar gangs have been fiercely competing for territory since ancient times.

After taking a shower, Gu Ming and Zhou Xiaoyao put on concealing masks and came to the food festival venue below.

There are countless stalls selling things and various snacks, the atmosphere is very lively, and the lights shining from high above face the steam, scattering a blur of colorful lights.

"Would you like chicken steak?"

"Don't eat."

"Would you like to eat sizzling squid?"

"I don't want to eat either."

Zhou Xiaoyao felt like she had no appetite. She didn't want to eat anything. It seemed as if her little foodie soul was gone. She just kept sticking to Gu Ming and walking forward.

At this time, Han Xiong, the manager of Joy City, had heard Xiao Liu's report. Thinking of what Gu Zhifang said again, cold sweat slowly flowed down his temples.

Some things are good to do at the beginning, but changing the time point may have better results.

"No, I have to go find Mr. Cai right away. Gu Ming's move is too vicious."

"?"

Manager Liu was stunned for a moment, his mind still not fully grasping what was going on.

He knew that Mr. Cai was the CEO of Hurricane Capital. Although he was also a big shot in the Zhou Group, he had nothing to do with the Joy City project.

Mr. Zhou is staying in a nearby hotel, and he has the final say on all Joy City projects. You should go to Mr. Cai to report what you are doing.

Han Xiong ignored his doubts and hurried out of his office, leaving Manager Liu alone with a confused look on his face.

The next morning, it was peak travel time.

Toutiao’s local news featured advertisements for the Group Buying Food Festival and Baihua Valley Makers Collection, and student users of TikTok also received push notifications at the same time.

After hearing the news, countless people came and occupied the entire block.

In addition to these two activities, the on-site car draw attracted a lot of people. Some nearby residents couldn't help but murmur, saying that Volkswagen is really popular, why are shopping malls willing to give away cars of this brand.

At the same time, on the road west of Baihua Valley, which is adjacent to Exit C of the subway station, Zhou Shirong and Duan Ying left the hotel where they were staying, got into the back seat of a Mercedes-Benz, and headed towards Joy City.

Seeing the countless pedestrians on the road, Zhou Shirong couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

"The number of customers has increased dramatically since October 1st. There weren't that many people on this street yesterday."

Duan Ying looked out the window and asked, "Is the passenger flow in Beijing so large on October 1st?"

Zhou Shirong raised his lips and said, "October 1 is National Day, and this is the capital."

"Have you already made up your mind?"

"Yes, this is a real business layout."

Zhou Shirong crossed his arms and said, "We chose to open in September, use promotions to increase customer flow, and then seamlessly connect the popularity of the 9+1 wave. The Joy City brand will definitely become popular in Beijing."

Duan Ying opened her mouth: "Then what?"

"Then we need to focus on operations, sign all the main brands that are waiting and watching, build some specialty stores, form our own style, and revitalize the overall situation of the entire commercial real estate. The rents of the property units developed in the back will also rise."

Zhou Shirong's eyes sparkled: "The Joy City 2 project will be implemented in Shenzhen. Construction will start quickly after the funds are received, and then it will bear fruit one by one."

"Then Zhou..."

"Even if Zhou's business has established itself in the commercial real estate industry, its valuation will continue to rise. My father should be very pleased."

After Duan Ying heard this, she clenched her fists and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

The ridicule at the milk tea shop and the questioning at the press conference, everything will disappear with the success of Joy City.

She really wanted to know how Gu Ming felt, as he couldn't stand her bullying his wife, but was helpless about it.

But as the car drove farther and farther west, Zhou Shirong's expression gradually became confused.

Because at this time, there were fewer and fewer people on the street, especially after passing Exit D of the subway station, the flow of people seemed to be cut off in an instant.

The cars are constantly moving, so the changes in the flow of people in the entire block are clear to them at a glance.

At this time, Zhou Shirong's smile gradually shifted to the driver's face. This empty street is so easy to drive. I can even drift and spray the car when I land!

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Joy City. From the moment he entered the auxiliary road, Zhou Shirong's heart sank to the bottom, and a bad premonition gradually surged into his heart.

When he got off the car and arrived inside Joy City, his premonition instantly became reality.

Joy City was empty, and the entire hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly.

In the makeup stores and jewelry counters on the first floor, all the waiters stared at each other with a look of panic in their eyes, as if something was shaky in their hearts.

How is it possible? It’s October 1st…

Zhou Shirong and Duan Ying stood at the door, as if struck by lightning.

Han Xiong came hurriedly at this time, and before he could stand firmly, he was grabbed by Zhou Shirong's collar. He almost shouted "What's going on?"

“Before Baihua Valley was built, the business district where Xihanheqing settled was nearby, and many of the surrounding shops were almost all owned by them.”

"Later, the catering brands moved into Wanzhong, and those units were taken over by the hotel brands of the Northern Sichuan Business Gang, all surrounding the Baihua Valley."

"From the location point of view, the right wing of Baihua Valley is full of brand hotels that are very popular on group buying. They were fully booked yesterday. Their food festival and creation center are on the back wing, connected to the subway CB exit, forming a circle that leads directly to the inside of the mall."

"The advertising instructions in the subway are very clear, and tourists will never get off the subway station near us."

"In other words, the Hundred Flowers Valley with the food festival is like a net bag, and not a single customer will be missed by us."

"Joy City's competitiveness is not that strong to begin with. As soon as they hold an event, we lose traffic."

"In addition, Baihua Valley has recently opened new restaurants with local characteristics, such as Hong Kong Restaurant, Bobo Chicken, and Hakka Cuisine, to operate the brand and conduct all-round marketing on Toutiao and Douyin."

"The worst thing is that the distance from their side to the nearest scenic spot is almost the same as the distance from our side to the scenic spot, but they are not on the same line. We were completely bypassed."

"Boss Zhou, there have been 6 or 2 supply chain trucks arriving at Baihua Valley these past few days. They are not for the opening of Joy City, but for October 3."

"We thought wrong."

"What's the use of attacking us when we open the store? When the time comes, we can spend some money to increase the customer flow, and we can also claim to the outside world that it suddenly became popular, right?"

"They had planned October 1 from the beginning, intending to keep Joy City empty for a week during this period, so all those brands asked to discuss it after October 1."

"The opening was a setback, and the number of customers was not high. What's wrong? But during the Golden Week of October 1, Joy City was empty. This is the biggest joke. It will be passed down for a lifetime. This is October 1!"

Zhou Shirong's head was buzzing and he could hardly hear what Han Xiong said next.

During the opening period, he was extremely nervous, fearing that Baihua Valley would suddenly organize an event to show its power, but he did not expect that the real business war was scheduled for October 1.

Yes, having no one on October 1st is more fatal than having no one at the opening.

Zhou Shirong raised his head: "Where is the store on the third floor?"

"I went to the food festival, and... I went to drive a car."

"They smoke cars too?"

"Yes, smoke our car."

"?"

At the beginning of October 1st, from morning to night, the crowd was bustling with noise.

The hotel customers staying on the right went downstairs to enter the food festival, went to the shopping mall, and then took the subway to nearby scenic spots.

Joy City was like a no-man's land that was directly blocked by the blockade. It was not until night that the Hundred Flowers Valley could no longer accommodate the number of visitors. Some people came to Joy City, but they just took a look around and left in a hurry.

It’s quite interesting to say that when Joy City was first designed, it was highly based on the layout of Baihua Valley, leaving a wide square and a semi-open-air area, and the pedestrian path was also designed to be wide.

But it wasn't until this moment that they understood that this was how the design was used.

Joy City will not be affected by the short-term money-burning competition, as the Zhou family is large and powerful enough to withstand it.

But October 1st was empty, and after this news spread, I’m afraid no one would dare to open a store.

This mall, no one went there on October 1st.

Without brand stores, Joy City cannot continue to sell products at a loss, and the entire project will enter a vicious cycle.

Joy City itself has no strength. It has been relying on burning money to maintain its glorious facade. It seemed that it would soon attract a group of main stores, but now it has been reduced to its original state in an instant.

This is the real ebb tide.
