Chapter 925: Chapter 863: New Direction of Development_2

He only informed the Yukos branch in China, Liu Mei, and Zhang Xiaoxi, and even told them there was no need to come to pick him up at the airport.

When the private jet descended at the Capital International Airport, Liu Mei and Zhang Xiaoxi were already waiting there.

However, the Russian head of the Yukos branch was quite honest; since Wang Ye said not to come, he truly didn’t show up to pick him up...

Seeing that Liu Mei and Zhang Xiaoxi hadn’t followed his instructions and had come to the airport anyway, Wang Ye didn’t get angry, but simply smiled and said it was trouble for them.

Each woman brought two black Mercedes S, both of which belonged to the company.

Since Wang Ye didn’t bring many people with him this time, four sedans were already enough.

"Boss, we’ll go back to Mansion Garden first. I had someone clean the place up again yesterday," Liu Mei said enthusiastically.

Now, when Wang Ye returned to the capital, he didn’t need to stay in a hotel anymore because he had a very big house of his own.

Including the entourage he brought, there was enough room to accommodate everyone.

After breezing through the VIP channel and customs, the motorcade drove out of the airport, heading straight for Mansion Garden.

Liu Mei was driving, Zhang Xiaoxi sat in the passenger seat, and Wang Ye, alone, sat in the back in the boss seat — three people in one car.

"By the way, Xiao Xi, how is that shopping center coming along?" Wang Ye casually asked.

Zhang Xiaoxi quickly turned around and replied, "Many brands are currently moving in to fit out their stores, and the plan is to open during the National Day holiday. I don’t know if you, Boss, will still be in the country then. It would be great if you could attend the opening ceremony!"

Wang Ye shook his head with a smile, "I certainly won’t be in the country then; that’s over a month away, and it’s not possible for me to stay that long."

Zhang Xiaoxi felt a bit disappointed, but she hadn’t really harbored much hope to begin with.

She knew how busy Wang Ye was.

However, she then excitedly began to talk to Wang Ye about the situation at Joy City.

According to the original plan, Joy City shopping center was positioned to be "young, fashionable, and affordable luxury," so the brands they introduced were generally in line with this, appealing to the younger crowd.

The capital wasn’t lacking top luxury malls, and since Joy City was Zhang Xiaoxi’s first trial at managing a large shopping center, and she didn’t have too many connections with luxury brands, she decided not to mix with that top luxury crowd.

But affordable luxury and fashionable brands represent a new niche market, which, according to Zhang Xiaoxi’s judgment, should become popular in the future.

If Joy City in Xidan could take off, then the commercial real estate company she was in charge of would follow the same positioning strategy for new shopping centers in the future.

Liu Mei, who was focused on driving, overheard the topic of their conversation and couldn’t help but interject, "I went to Joy City a few days ago too, and Xiao Xi has done a really good job. The shopping center is huge, and the decor is very... very youthful and trendy. Young people aside, even an old woman like me finds it appealing. Compared to the other malls in the capital, it’s of a different caliber, and it’s sure to be popular!"

Truth be told, Liu Mei wasn’t that old either, she had just turned forty-something this year.

Being fashionable and knowing how to dress herself, with money at her disposal, outsiders might even think she was just in her thirties.

However, from the way she spoke, it seemed she had a good relationship with Zhang Xiaoxi.

Liu Mei was smart; she didn’t harbor any jealousy over the fact that even though she knew Wang Ye earlier than Zhang Xiaoxi, the company she managed was much smaller in scale.

Instead, she was trying her best to get along well with Zhang Xiaoxi, helping her with many things.

......

The fact that Joy City was opening so soon wasn’t a surprise to Wang Ye.

Because when Zhang Xiaoxi took over the project last year, the main structure was already topped out, and only the interior decoration was left to be completed.

The project had already changed hands twice prior, and each of the previous "owners" had also invested quite a bit into the project. However, they were unsure about the prospects, and due to some complex factors, whether because of funding issues or because a state-owned enterprise was not suitable for continuing the project, it was left for Zhang Xiaoxi to pick up "cheaply."

When the project came into Zhang Xiaoxi’s hands, all that was needed was the final interior fitting and marketing.

Thus the efficiency was so high. In just one year after the takeover, it was ready for the official opening.

According to Wang Ye’s memory from his previous life, Joy City, once opened, set several records in the capital’s business districts!

The business was booming from the start and for many years held the top spot, becoming the most profitable mall in the capital, and even the whole of North China, unrivaled!

Clearly, this "money tree" now fell into Wang Ye’s hands, and it certainly would create quite a profit for him.

Perhaps in the future, Zhang Xiaoxi might actually grow this commercial real estate company big, opening up a Joy City in every major city nationwide.

Of course, that was to come much later, and would depend on Zhang Xiaoxi’s performance in the future.

Even if she didn’t achieve that much, it wouldn’t matter to Wang Ye.

He wasn’t depending on this mall to make money for him...

Not to mention, those gas stations he was working on, though they might not seem very impressive, would eventually earn just as much, if not more, than Joy City.

Even exceeding these so-called commercial real estates by far!

It’s well known that the businesses that make the biggest profits tend to be the ones that don’t seem very impressive at first glance.
