Households relocated in the 1990s

Chapter 401 Opening Business

However, this has also resulted in the fact that the quality of shops in Fengyinwan Shopping Mall may not be that high nowadays.

An Songxiang had already advised An Songyu on this matter.

Ke Anjia has no intention of getting involved with the rest of the household.

An Songyu felt that the market in Fengyin Bay was not mature enough at present.

It would be good to do some business related to people's livelihood.

To avoid setting the bar too high, making it even harder for those in the village who follow suit to make money.

It wasn't that An Songyu cheated the people of Jiangcun because of the shop rentals in Fengyinwan Shopping Mall.

An Songyu's refusal had absolutely no effect.

The people in Jiangcun even said that they learned this from the elders of the An family.

After all, although Jiangcun's situation was special, each family received a considerable amount of compensation for their demolished property.

But simply living off one's savings isn't the right approach.

So they also wanted to take this opportunity to send some of the younger members of their family out to learn about business management.

In fact, over the past six months, many of the younger generation in Jiangcun who act quickly have already struggled to find a good direction.

However, just as always, there are always some people in every family who are not good at venturing out on their own.

Or, for various other reasons, they are tied to their parents or elders.

This time, having parents worry about it together is indeed a good opportunity.

Therefore, given that the villagers of Jiangcun had gone to such lengths to express their opinions, the elders of the An family had no choice but to let them have their way.

When An Songyu and his family left, the people of Jiangcun, who had been prepared, also set off together.

Looking at the procession that resembled a motorcade, An Songxiang couldn't help but shake her head inwardly, wondering what would happen if today's opening didn't go as expected.

Will the people of Jiangcun be disappointed?

An Songxiang didn't know whether the other people in Jiangcun would be disappointed.

But at least there are two shops on the first floor that won't disappoint you.

Almost every store had a display of opening flower baskets and balloon arches.

An Songxiang also had a moment of thought that it might not be so strange to open a flower shop and a wedding dress shop in a large shopping mall!
By the way, the wedding dress shop is the photo studio that An Songyu and An Songxiang both own shares in.

I heard that Anjia built a hotel and a shopping mall in Fengyin Bay.

After inspecting the site, they went directly to find the An Songyu sisters.

Not only did they swiftly acquire the largest shop on the first floor besides the supermarket, but they also booked hotel rooms.

Yes, it's a reservation... because the hotel's renovations aren't fully finished yet!

"The hotel isn't ready for guests yet because the renovations aren't finished. Where did they stay before?" An Songxiang asked, somewhat puzzled.

An Songyu paused slightly, looking at An Songxiang with a helpless expression.

This guy really doesn't care at all!

"We've taken advantage of the neighboring community to temporarily rent out our renovated house in Jiangcun to guests who come here to take wedding photos, at hotel rates!" A Jiangcun resident who happened to be passing by explained this to An Songxiang.

After explaining, he added, "Ayu, my dad said thank you for giving him such a good thing."

"They also asked about other aspects of your family!"

"But I don't know much... I guess he'll contact you or your family later."

"Oh right, it's also possible that someone from the village committee is looking for you!" After saying this somewhat uncertain guess, the man scratched the back of his head and quickly said goodbye to An Songyu and her sister.

He still has a lot of excitement he hasn't seen today!
Before leaving Jiangcun, he had no idea that each family had so many unique skills.

Moreover, based on what he saw, it seemed that many families from Jiangcun had come to Fengyin Bay to open shops not without prior preparation!

After walking around, An Songyu and the other person also had some similar thoughts.

To An Songxiang's surprise, or perhaps because she had done her homework well, she didn't know.

For this idyllic island, a place like the Fengyin Bay Shopping Mall is still a first. In any case, it seems like every store is packed with people.

"My eldest sister and second sister's shops are doing exceptionally well too!" An Songxiang said with a sigh, looking at a clothing store on the second floor from afar.

An Songyu, who was looking at the buffet restaurant, turned around and looked over when she heard this.

Then he said, "That's because my eldest and second eldest sisters know how to select products!"

"The gentle and sweet style of Korean and Japanese clothing is indeed quite popular." An Songxiang had to nod in agreement.

She really didn't expect that, encouraged by her aunt, the two sisters would take the initiative to open a shop in Fengyin Bay with everyone and would directly choose the clothing industry.

Of course, according to the two older sisters, they didn't have any other skills.

Choosing the clothing industry means having parents as a support system and ample funds.

In addition, there are acquaintances in Jiangcun who do clothing business, as well as Aunt Anjia who can give them some advice.

But after actually collecting these opinions, the two sisters discussed them carefully, but did not follow their lead in selecting products.

Instead, they chose Korean and Japanese style clothing, which have a unique style but are already showing signs of emerging.

Their unique gentle sweetness has kept the sisters' shop constantly bustling with customers all day.

"Sister, I'm wondering if it's because the people of Jiangcun are too clever, or if there aren't as few people on this island as I thought?"

After An Songxiang and An Songyu had walked around the buffet restaurant together, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Perhaps it's a bit of both!" An Songyu replied, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

She actually felt a little relieved.

The business of most shops in the mall was much better than An Songyu and everyone else had originally expected.

This was indeed quite unexpected for them.

It could even be said that it was quite beyond what was expected.

Whether it's the An family or anyone else, they are all willing to accept such an unexpected surprise.

An Songxiang felt that An Songyu's answer was particularly perfunctory, and persistently pressed on, "Then which one is the most important?"

An Songyu thought for a moment before saying, "We are currently in the town of Fengyin Bay!"

"No matter how few the residents of a small town are, they certainly won't be that few."

"I do know that!" An Songxiang said quite proudly when her sister brought it up.
"When Aunt Wenxiu came back, she said that there were more than a hundred villages on their island!"

“Our brigade alone has about twenty of them.”

"If you calculate it that way, it seems there are quite a lot of people!"

Seeing An Songxiang's increasingly amazed expression as she calculated, An Songyu simply smiled and shook her head.

That's not how you calculate numbers!
There are quite a few residents on the island.

But the actual number of people who will visit their mall today may not be very high!

After all, this is based on the long-standing lifestyle and consumption habits of the island's residents.

It's not like they'd make a special trip to town just because a shopping mall is opening.

In fact, Fengyin Bay is quite large in area.

These hundred or so natural villages are distributed from one end of the island to the other.

While the town on the island isn't in the center, it's certainly not close to where you get off the island.

In a situation where most islanders do not have convenient means of transportation.

People will probably still rely on buses or tractors for transportation.

An Songyu remembers that after the early 2000s, the tourism industry in Fengyin Bay was booming.

From the direction you enter the island to the other side, even using up the entire weekend wouldn't be enough!

This is under the condition that most people have private cars or ride-hailing services.
