Chapter 117 Hello, ex-husband!

Most people don't know much about CapitaLand, but Raffles City, invested and operated by this commercial real estate giant, has become a household name in China more than ten years later.

Some Raffles City malls are so grand that they have even become landmarks in some cities.

This well-known large-scale diversified real estate group in Asia is headquartered in Sin Chew.

This is the reason why Ma Liang was shocked earlier. He didn't even have a relationship with Longemont Mall, but he wanted to meet the boss of Raffles City directly.

After all, compared to Dragon Dream, Raffles City is an even more unattainable place.

If Longzhimeng in Zhongshan Park is one of the most desirable locations for food and snack brands in Shanghai to open stores, then Raffles City in People’s Square is a location that all Internet celebrity stores are flocking to.

No matter how many years the city develops, no matter how many commercial sub-centers are built in the future, or how strong e-commerce becomes in the future, People's Square will always be the intersection with the largest flow of people in the city.

All Internet celebrity snack brands or Internet celebrity tea and dessert brands want to enter Raffles City in People's Square.

There is a saying that has been circulating in the catering and food circle of the future of Shanghai: Successfully entering Raffles City is equivalent to success in proving the truth for Internet celebrity brands.

As long as you have never entered Raffles in People's Square, you are not considered a true internet celebrity brand.

After all, being able to squeeze into Fox Plaza not only shows that the brand is well-known, but also shows that the brand is strong.

Because I don’t have any ability, I can’t settle in at all.

Although Raffles City at the moment is not as exaggerated as it was many years ago, it is not an easy task to enter now.

Ma Liang suddenly had a feeling that even if he couldn't handle Dragon Dream in Zhongshan Park, if he could establish a relationship with the CEO of CapitaLand, he would be afraid that he wouldn't be able to get into Raffles City in the future.

Being able to enter Fox Plaza is much better than Dragon Dream in Zhongshan Park.

Because Dragon Dream has not yet opened, it will still be a year or two before the customer flow reaches its peak.

The most important thing is that Zhongshan Park Dragon’s Dream will be renamed Kaidron’s Dream in two years.

So Ma Liang couldn't help but be a little excited to meet the CEO of CapitaLand, and I have to say that tonight was a great time.

Liang Qingsong took Yan Bing and Ma Liang to another group of people and shouted directly: "Old Ding, please take a step to speak. Our beautiful designer Yan has something to do with you."

Ding Mingyan, President of CapitaLand Greater China, his greatest achievement since taking office in 2000 is the opening of Raffles City in People's Square.

"Hey, today is really new. How can the great designer still find me?

Don’t we usually open stores in places with a lot of luxury goods like Hang Lung and CITIC Pacific?

How can a low-end shopping mall like Raffles be under Mr. Yan's radar?" Comrade Lao Ding started joking.

Yan Bing followed the teasing and replied: "Mr. Ding, don't I want to go? Obviously Raffles's business is so good that I can't squeeze in even if I want to."

"Others can't squeeze in. If you, the designer Yan, want to come to Volkswagen, it's just a matter of words." Ding Mingyan really didn't think too much and said cheerfully.

Liang Qingsong followed and started shouting: "Hey, Old Ding, this is what you said.

Our great designer has now changed his gender, and the brand launched tonight is a people-friendly brand. It is suitable to be settled in your Raffles City Plaza.

Hurry up, find a good position and come out, don't keep your word."

"Ah?" President Ding couldn't laugh or cry. He originally thought it was a joke, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a real thing.

Yan Bing took advantage of the situation and complimented him: "Mr. Ding, do you need to have such an ugly expression?

Raffles City is such a big place. To open up a shop, you just have to raise your hand. Look at how embarrassed you are pretending to be."

"Oh, didn't you expect that a great designer would have such a down-to-earth life?" Ding Mingyan replied jokingly.

Having said this, Yan Bing naturally would not let him fool him easily: "Mr. Ding, you have promised that I must go to Raffles to open a store.

Not only am I going, but my little brother is also going together.”

With that said, Sister Bingmei introduced each other to Ma Liang again, and he once again got the business card of a commercial real estate tycoon.

"My little brother, it's not a big problem to open a snack bar. It doesn't take too much space anyway.

But Designer Yan, you will need one or two thousand square meters, so don't I have to clear up two or three brands to make enough for you?" Ding Mingyan was really embarrassed now.

At this time, the woman's advantage came into play, and Yan Bing said directly: "I don't care, anyway, you were the one who made the big talk earlier."

"Yes, it's rare for a big designer to like us. Even if we are scolded by the head of the headquarters, I have to do it.

However, the operation will definitely take a certain amount of time, and it will not be until the second half of next year at the earliest." Ding Mingyan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and agreed.

Yan Bing replied dissatisfied: "Next year? The day lilies are already cold.

I just heard Mr. Liang say that you, CapitaLand, are negotiating with Changfeng Group about the acquisition of Zhongshan Park Dragon Dream? Are the talks almost over?"

"Well, Lao Tong from Changfeng Group is very stubborn and has never agreed to our acquisition.

He is just a real estate developer. He is a complete layman when it comes to commercial real estate operations, but he insists on doing it himself.

The operation team under me is also not professional at all. I really don’t know where the confidence comes from.

In one fell swoop, we registered Longxing Department Store, Longwang Food, Longqiang Bookstore, Longsheng Supermarket, Longemont Department Store, and Longemont Shopping Center.

It shows how strong his ambition is to build Dragon Dream into the second Raffles City, but I think he is blind.

If this old guy hadn't gotten that good place in Zhongshan Park through his connections, he would have lost his life if he changed places." When he mentioned this, Ding Mingyan became extremely angry.

CapitaLand has long taken a fancy to the Longzhimeng land in Zhongshan Park, but unfortunately it was taken advantage of by Changfeng Group.

Because Changfeng Group is a local snake, and as one of the largest real estate developers in Shanghai, its public relations efforts must be tougher than those of CapitaLand.

Liang Qingsong smiled and consoled him: "Just let him play for a year and a half.

Commercial real estate is not just about having money. A layman is a layman. If you don't have the ability to operate, you will surrender sooner or later.

In China, there are not many country bumpkin real estate developers who have failed in recent years, haha."

"Yes, if this old guy really screws up and wants me to buy it again, the price won't be as high as it is today." Ding Mingyan said with unusual disdain.

Ma Liang was eye-opening as he listened to it. Sure enough, the circles were different.

At an ordinary dinner party, all the talk was about big business worth billions. In just a few words, I heard the old secrets of the commercial real estate circle in Shanghai.

No wonder Longzhimeng in the previous life had stretched her hips in the first two years after opening. It turned out to be because the boss was an amateur.

This is also a common problem among many upstart entrepreneurs in China. A layman guides an expert, but they are reluctant to recruit a professional team with high salary. In the end, they can only end miserably.

When Changfeng Group couldn't continue to operate in two years, it agreed to sell Longemont to CapitaLand.

When Dragon's Dream Mall was taken over by CapitaLand's professional team, it soon became prosperous and famous, becoming a large shopping mall second only to Raffles in People's Square in terms of customer flow.

Seeing this, Yan Bing said in embarrassment: "That's it. I was thinking that if Mr. Ding could have the final say in Dragon Dream, I could take the opportunity to get a good position."

"It's easy. I just need to say hello to that old guy Tong Jinquan. He will still give me this little bit of face." Ding Mingyan said very confidently.

Yan Bing smiled knowingly after hearing this: "Thank you, Mr. Ding, for your generous help."

"Oh, I knew it wouldn't be easy for a big designer to find me. It's just as I expected!" Ding Mingyan complained helplessly.

Yan Bing smiled proudly and said: "Don't worry, I will never let Mr. Ding work in vain. I will definitely thank you very much later!"

Networking is like this sometimes, don't be afraid of causing trouble to the other person, just thank you afterwards.

Between you coming and going, the relationship is established.

After chatting with Lao Liang and Lao Ding for a while, Yan Bing continued to lead Ma Liang to make friends with various big shots.

Of course, not everyone is as enthusiastic as Lao Liang and Lao Ding.

There are always some people who make excuses and show off their face. There are all kinds of birds in the forest, let alone the business world, which is a field where humans and animals are not distinguished.

In such a large dinner hall, there are crowds of people. It is not easy to find an acquaintance to strike up a conversation with. You have to look hard to find the target before you can go and chat.

The two of them had just finished chatting with an acquaintance, then turned around and continued walking inside.

Suddenly, Yan Bing was startled and her footsteps suddenly stopped because she saw an unexpected woman.

What made her even more unable to look directly was that standing next to this woman was the man she hated so much.

"You are really becoming more and more capable, and now you have become a pretty boy like others, haha."

At this moment, the other party just turned around and wanted to change circles. He spotted Yan Bing and Ma Liang at a glance. After a brief daze, he immediately started to speak rudely.

"Su Mingyuan, whatever I do now has nothing to do with you."

Yan Bing glared at the other party fiercely and responded in a suppressed voice. After all, there were so many people watching the dinner, and it would not look good on his face if he made a big fuss.

Ma Liang was stunned on the sidelines. Could it be such a coincidence?

He really wanted to go up and shake hands with the greasy middle-aged man in front of him and say hello: Hello, ex-husband!

Staying up late coding, my mind can't move, and I write too slowly.

Let's continue after I wake up. This is the end of the plot. I'll take in the rich woman tonight. Are you looking forward to it?
Chapter completed!
