Chapter 1266: Under the Spotlight
Sophie Wilson listened to the people around her introducing the situation of this shopping mall, nodded slightly, and said, "A comprehensive mall, nice idea, but unfortunately the location is wrong."Sophie’s words made the people around her feel a bit awkward, and they said helplessly, "Yeah, didn’t expect the purchasing power around here to be that bad."
When they initially developed this mall, they thought the mall entrance was right at the subway station, and on both sides were residential areas, with quite a few residents, so they weren’t worried about foot traffic.
"It’s not that bad, it’s that you didn’t do it with depth." Sophie burst out laughing, "The residential area here is quite mature, and there are lots of small stores inside, not to mention two large vegetable markets, not counting the smaller ones."
"The residential area is full of old residents, and many elders like to buy cheap things at their doorsteps. As for young people, if they want to buy high-end products, they would go to boutique stores in the city center. Your positioning, neither here nor there, simply doesn’t sell well." Sophie’s analysis made the people around her nod helplessly.
"We only realized this issue after the mall opened."
Although this place is close to the subway station, residents are near them, but if they take the subway, it takes no more than twenty minutes to reach the city center, which makes shopping more convenient and faster.
"Alright, this location is good. Let’s go back and talk about the price." Sophie’s straightforward words made the people around her look over in surprise. "Are you sure you want this?"
"I’m sure." Sophie said with a smile.
She brought along her lawyer and immediately signed a contract, buying this building that had been closed for several years.
Sophie had just settled this, when within less than an hour, Lucy Wells’ call came in: "Hey Lucy, I was just about to find you. Okay, I’ll be at the company in a bit, let’s talk then."
After hanging up the phone, Sophie went straight to the company.
"Sophie, did you buy that building?" Lucy Wells asked urgently as soon as she came in.
"I did buy it." Sophie said with a smile, "I just bought it not long ago, how did you know?"
Did someone from her side leak the information?
"Don’t you know that your every move in the business circle is under close attention?" Lucy said helplessly, Sophie really has no awareness of being a big figure.
"Me? Why?" Sophie asked curiously.
She only shot one movie, and that hype is long gone.
"It’s because your network is broad." Lucy said with a laugh, "Mr. Nelson stayed in the Imperial City, seems like there’s big investment. Companies in the Imperial City all want a share."
"Oh, am I that influential?" Sophie shrugged, "That’s great, I was just thinking of how to leak out the news."
"What news?" Lucy asked in confusion.
"I’m going to open a hospital." Sophie’s words stunned Lucy, "What are you planning to do?"
"Open a hospital." Sophie said with a smile.
"Sophie, isn’t this cross-industry move a bit too big?" Lucy asked incredulously.
The company is doing decorations, Sophie also has a jade shop, and now she wants to open a hospital, these three industries are totally unrelated!
"Whether it’s big or not doesn’t matter, as long as I’m interested." Sophie said cheerfully, "I’ve scheduled professionals to come over, and tomorrow we’ll all discuss the renovation plan together."
