Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 400 Next to the shopping mall

"Mr. Zhang, come to the humble house to sit down?"

In the cold wind, Xu Wenxuan wrapped his collar and extended an invitation to Zhang Zhong with a smile.

After the two of them had dinner at the hotel, when they learned that Xu Wenxuan had come by bus, Zhang Zhong offered to drive him home.

"No, it's getting late, I have to go back, the temperature outside is low, Mr. Xu, you'd better go back quickly, don't freeze." Zhang Zhong declined with a smile. If he really went, Xu Yuhan probably would exploded.

"Well, I wish you a happy new year in advance, and be careful on the road."

"Okay, you go back."

Watching Xu Wenxuan enter the community, Zhang Chong left with a touch of the gas pedal.

Because the New Year is coming, there are fewer cars and people on the road, and even many shops on the roadside are dark, and most of the migrants rush back to celebrate the Spring Festival.

The past two years have been better. In the past few years, the streets were empty during the Chinese New Year.

Now more and more foreigners will choose to settle in Jiangyang, and they will not go back during the Chinese New Year.

Rural people seem to be pushed into the city by a pair of invisible hands. One day, during the Chinese New Year, the big cities will still be lively, and the towns will become more deserted.

When passing Sanli Temple, Zhang Zhong saw the advertisement on the LED screen hanging on the outer wall of the shopping mall at a glance. It turned out to be the trailer of the movie "Ten Little Indian Boys".

He slowed down and walked slowly along the road, but he was looking at the big screen out of the corner of his eye.

Although he has been to the shooting site twice, he has not seen the film that was produced.It was also the first time he had seen this trailer.

The trailer is not long, mainly the flashbacks of the appearance of various characters and the death of some characters.

Although many readers have read the book and know the ending, the trailer deliberately hides this part of the information in order to ensure a perfect experience for those who have not read the book.

Wen Jinjiang took risks in making this movie. After all, if the book knew the ending, then going to see the movie might not be as exciting. But Zhang Zhong has so many fans of the book, and there are many people who have read this book , if one is not careful, the director may overturn.

For Zhang Zhong, if the movie becomes popular, he will certainly benefit, but even if the movie is not good, not many people will criticize Zhang Zhong, and even if the movie is not good, the sales of this book will increase. The problem.

Therefore, he has no psychological burden.

But Wen Jinjiang doesn't have to worry too much. After all, only a small number of people have read the book, and even if they are dissatisfied with the movie, these people will probably contribute a lot to the box office.

In addition to "Ten Little Indian Boys", "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" should be released in the middle of the year, and "The Plot" is also likely to be a star this year.

If he hadn't deliberately suppressed the matter of film and television adaptation, I am afraid that more film and television dramas adapted from his works will be launched this year.

Last year he occupied the entire literature page by himself for almost a year. This year, he may not only occupy the literature page, but even the entertainment page.

When Zhang Zhong came home, Peng Peng was watching TV.

Now the TV at home is no longer hers alone, and she is also less interested in Little Pig Maomao, unlike before every day when she turns on the TV to watch Little Pig Maomao.

Sometimes when some new cartoons are released, she will switch between them. If there is no cartoon that she particularly wants to watch, she will watch the short life dramas of her parents with her grandparents.

She is not picky eaters, and she can be quite fascinated by watching life dramas, but Zhang Zhong guesses that she doesn't understand them well, so she probably just sees it.

"Dad, tell me a story."

As soon as she got home, Peng Peng sat up from the sofa and asked Zhang Zhong to tell her a bedtime story.

Zhang nodded and said, "Well, I'll take a shower first."

"Yeah, I'll wait for you." Pengpeng Tiantian smiled.

When Zhang Zhong came out of the room after taking a shower, it was only 10 minutes before Peng Peng fell asleep on the sofa.

"This girl was so sleepy just now, you can carry her back to the room." Hu Huifang whispered.

"Yeah." Zhang Zhong nodded slightly, and walked over to pick up Pengpeng from the sofa, but just as she lifted her off the sofa, she seemed to be taken aback, her two little hands scratched, and when they caught Zhang Zhong's clothes, they stopped. Let go.

Zhang Zhong didn't dare to move. He didn't hold her until she settled down, and then slowly walked towards her room.

Put her on the bed, cover the quilt, and Zhang Zhong sat beside him and watched his daughter.

She must have been dreaming, and it wasn't a sweet dream. You could tell by looking at her eyebrows, which frown for a while and relax for a while.

After sitting for about half an hour, her eyebrows were completely relaxed, and she suddenly revealed a beautiful smile.

Zhang Zhong also laughed.

"Son, come here, I have something to discuss with your father."

Coming out of Pengpeng's room, Hu Huifang took his arm and whispered.

Looking at the expressions of the old couple, Zhang Zhong asked with some doubts, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xingjun said with a smile: "It's actually not a big deal. Isn't the store in front of us selling it? I read the flyer today and the price is very cheap. A smaller storefront only costs [-] yuan. Close it, get a door over there."

"The shopping mall at the door? Are they still selling it?" Zhang Zhong asked unexpectedly.

That shopping mall had been around for a long time, but it couldn't last for two weeks. Later, half of it was converted into a furniture mall, and the other half was always empty.

"Well, yes, the business was not good in the past because of road construction, but now it is at the subway entrance, the location is good, the merchant is going to get the other half out, and even set up an underground shopping mall, I heard that it will officially open in the first half of next year , once these two places open, the business will definitely flourish," Zhang Xingjun said.

Hearing his father's tone, Zhang Zhong was quite hopeful about this shopping mall.

But Zhang Zhong was not optimistic at all. The subway entrance didn’t just open today. It’s been almost two years, and the mall hasn’t seen any improvement. The owner of the mall said it can be done?
Although Zhang Zhong is not engaged in real estate, he still has a sense of smell. Unless there is a super commercial plaza next to it to connect the shopping mall here with the Banshan Street at the foot of Yuanwei Mountain, otherwise the flow of people will not be able to go up, and the core competitiveness will be too lacking. .

But he didn't directly say that he didn't like it, but said, "Dad, you don't want the base next to the school?"

"Hey, I can't make much money. Now students don't go to my place to buy things. There is a big supermarket not far away."

"Then what do you want to do with a new facade, and open a small supermarket?"

"Well, open a tobacco and alcohol supermarket. I heard that the profits of tobacco and alcohol are high, and selling them casually is better than my small store."

"Well, I'll go and investigate with you later, and if it's good, we'll make a decision," Zhang Zhong said.

"Okay, they haven't had a holiday yet, so we'll go tomorrow."

"Row."
