After rebirth, I want to destroy my original family

"Joy City is empty?"

"Well, it's empty, it's vacuum."

The brand owners who had been keeping an eye on Joy City's developments soon got the news and even received photos of the scene. They couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

During the National Day period, which is the hottest period of the year except for the Spring Festival, a newly opened shopping mall was directly emptied out after a large-scale promotion. This is really a huge joke.

The news spread so quickly that within a few minutes, almost the entire real estate circle knew about it. Then it was passed on to several shareholders of the Zhou Group, and then to the Shanghai headquarters of the Zhou Group.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden news.

"Have you heard that there was no one at the Joy City that our CEO Zhou invested in Beijing during the National Day holiday?"

"I'm stupid, isn't it?"

"I heard that the customer flow was directly cut off by the Baihua Valley Plaza in the same area. Even beggars don't go there!"

"That's not right. I heard that from the opening to October 1, Joy City's traffic was much higher than Wanzhong's. Didn't President Zhou even send a congratulatory letter to our mailbox, saying that the Zhou Group has reached a new level?"

"What the hell are the steps? They have discounts every day, and all the old men and women in the neighborhood go to join in the fun. It is said that during those days, you could sweep out 2 kilograms of white hair just by sweeping the floor, but the daily sales can't even break a million!"

"Then it won't be empty, right?"

"There's an event going on at the Baihua Valley Plaza next door, and it's all big brands. The headlines and group buying in the store are all full of marketing ads. Even the staff at Joy City's store have joined in the fun. In this case, the level of Joy City is completely exposed."

"I've said it before, that guy surnamed Zhou is no good at all. I don't know what the people above were thinking, to actually replace Boss Qin with him!"

"This matter should be blamed on his second-married wife. Otherwise, why would the group buying group target us so much? Oh my god, this time it's really retribution!"

"One of the couple is incompetent and the other is too mean. This time they hit a wall."

The news that Joy City staged the "Empty City Strategy" during the National Day was like doomsday for ordinary employees.

As everyone knows, the Zhou Group has only one way to deal with crises, and that is layoffs.

So much was invested in this project in the early stage. If it cannot be completed now, I don’t know how many employees will be laid off in order to ensure cash flow.

On the other hand, in the telephone group of Joy City's Business Department, several salesmen who were about to get the signed contracts found that the phone calls of those brand managers were not get through.

What’s even more amazing is the red exclamation mark on it, which made them stunned.

The Ministry of Commerce's telephone team is not inside the mall, nor does it participate in the operation of the mall. If something unexpected happens, they have no idea what happened.

"Xiao Liu, please stop calling me. You didn't even have a single customer on October 1st. Should I open a store and play house with you?"

"No, Mr. Li, you have misunderstood. We are Joy City. The one that just opened has a lot of customers. Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"You don't know yet? Then go check it out quickly, and tell President Zhou that people must be responsible for their actions. Uh... this sentence is not quite accurate. Let me put it another way."

"what?"

"Tell Mr. Feng that people will eventually be held responsible for not doing anything."

On a noisy autumn day, Cai Ming stood on the stairs, looking at the empty shopping mall, thinking that Mr. Feng had always wanted to make Joy City famous in Kyoto and make it a unique shopping mall.

Now it seems that it is completed in disguise?

Ming Dynasty, really Ming Dynasty.

Different, really different.

At this time, the customer service department of Feng Group was also calling non-stop. Some came to confirm the news, some wanted to interview the person in charge, and some called to refund the rent.

Those who come to confirm the news and interview are better, but those who come just to watch the fun can be rejected directly.

However, those brands and franchisees who have already settled in demand refunds of rent, which can be said to make Joy City even worse.

As a result, the Ministry of Commerce's telephone team was temporarily deployed to reassure those merchants and told them that Joy City would increase its promotional efforts tomorrow and the mall would definitely restore customer flow.

But having said that, it is not easy to restore the passenger flow under the blockade of the group food festival and the Wanzhong Creation Market.

"You can... hire someone."

"?"

"Let's spend money to hire people to visit the mall. At least it won't be empty. We can prop up the scene first."

"?????"

When there was no other choice, a dirty trick was still a good one, so Joy City hired more than 2 people from the labor market to shop in the mall on the second day of the National Day.

Save your respect first, then think of a solution.

But what the mall managers did not expect was that just when they came up with this brilliant idea, 4 percent of the stores in Joy City began to close in protest and hang banners.

These trouble-making stores are basically franchise stores, that is, the store owners are responsible for their own profits and losses. They don’t have much money themselves. They pay to join a store just to make a living. You can invite people to visit the mall, but I can’t sell my things. Get out.

Under such circumstances, who would be willing to accompany them here and talk nonsense?

The most important thing is that although they are all small bosses, they are still a vulnerable group facing a behemoth like the Zhou Group. If they don't seize the opportunity to gather together to protest and wait for the storm to pass, it will be difficult to cancel the lease.

"It was Mr. Zhou who promised us to keep our sales secret and said he would use the traffic from the National Day holiday to attract Helilao, Xianhui Xiansheng, and Heytea. He also said he would let Heytea move in next door to us!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou said at the beginning that Joy City would become a new landmark in this city!"

"We originally chose the street across from Hundred Flower Valley as the site, and we were about to sign the contract, but you insisted that Joy City was an upgraded version of Hundred Flower Valley, and that you would definitely make back your investment within half a year!"

"We can't even do a few takeout orders now. We have to cancel the lease. We want to cancel the lease!"

Han Xiong took Manager Liu and Manager Song to comfort him repeatedly, but in the end he couldn't comfort him anymore.

When it comes to matters involving real money, you can't control it with just empty words.

To be honest, it is not a strange thing during the operation of shopping malls to reduce passenger flow, and these franchisees are not new to the world.

However, they have never seen a situation where the entire building is empty during the National Day holiday and the mall has to spend money to hire people to shop. It's really fucking weird.

Some time ago, the manager of Joy City asked them to lie about sales and digest some products internally, saying that as long as they attracted high-traffic brands, everyone would benefit, and they believed it.

But in this situation, everyone knows very well that no big brands will move in, and if they don’t cancel the lease, they will really be dead.

So the next day, the headlines in the real estate business circle changed from "Joy City is empty" to "Joy City's businesses are empty."

During this period, Zhou Shirong never showed up, but hid in the hotel without saying a word. It was not until late at night on the 1rd, when Joy City closed its doors, that he mustered up the courage to come back.

Duan Ying also entrusted Andy to the nanny and went to the scene with him.

Looking up from the dim lobby, the rent-retirement banners hang on both sides, with red letters on white cloth, which is shocking.

In fact, if Baihua Valley had done this on the opening day of Joy City, Joy City would not have been so miserable. Even if there was no one on the opening day, the impact would not have been so great.

But Gu Ming let himself off during the opening period, allowing him to confidently invite countless brands to visit the store, and then use October 1 to cut off the flow of customers, which was equivalent to his empty city plan of personally inviting national brands to visit Joy City.

"This brand is finished."

Zhou Shirong looked at the banners hanging high in the sky, and his heart went cold.

When Duan Ying heard these words, her face turned earthy.

At the press conference, Gu Ming arranged for people to question her. Although she was extremely angry, she had never felt fear. But at this moment she was really panicked.

If Joy City falls, it will be a disaster.

Then, Joy City fell.

Zhou Group, the board of directors, those brand owners, and even the general public will all know that it was her fault that Joy City collapsed. It was all her fault!

That questioning was not important at all. What was important was that it planted a nail in people's hearts, and at this moment all the hatred was directed at her.

"If revenge isn't gorgeous, it wouldn't be called revenge."

——Gu Ming

On the 5th day of the National Day, Joy City closed its doors, announcing to the public that the fire safety standards were not up to standard and the business was suspended for rectification. However, the famous Gu Yanzu updated his Weibo, which he hadn't used for a long time, and his voice was full of Chinese flavor.

revenge? Revenge to whom? !

After reading this Weibo post, Zhang Xuhao did not sleep all night and immediately convened a meeting. The entire Ele.me instantly entered a state of combat readiness and quickly urged Alibaba and Tencent, the two financial sponsors, for funding. It seemed as if a tough battle was about to be fought.

Alipay’s senior management team also quickly held a meeting and decided to temporarily abandon the offline confrontation with Alipay and fully promote the Yu’ebao project that had just been launched.

Zhang Tao from Dianping had just been discharged from the hospital. After seeing Gu Ming’s Weibo, he immediately gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "Don’t go too far!"

In addition, several logistics companies, from top to bottom, are also a little nervous, with a feeling that a storm is about to come.

But only those who are involved in the commercial real estate game understand what Gu Ming meant.

Someone bullied his wife, this is a revenge.

"What does Gu Ming's Weibo mean? Who has offended him again?"

"Old Gu went to Beijing to beat up his father-in-law. It seems that he beat him up in a very spectacular way. Damn, he was so pretentious."

Li Minghe couldn't help smacking his lips. After the substitution, his cock became numb with pleasure and he buried himself deeply in Xue Jia's arms.

Being a man, you must have the ability to protect your little wife, and it feels so good to punch your father-in-law. It's a pity that Xue Jia is an orphan, otherwise he would also like to come.

At this time, Zhong Wenjing also read Weibo and the news about Joy City, and she was so excited that she went crazy.

Damn it, why is there sweet revenge? !
