Super Rich: It all started when I met a young woman in a sleeper car.
Chapter 81 Theme Transformation
The steam from the hot pot still seemed to linger in front of him, but early the next morning, Chen Xun stood at the entrance of the new store with the three women.
The construction team arrived even earlier than them. A small truck was parked on the side of the road, and several workers were carrying ladders, tools, and materials down.
"Master, have you looked at all the blueprints?" Chen Xun walked over and confirmed with the foreman in charge.
"I've looked at it, Mr. Chen, don't worry, we've done many of these themed walls, we have experience." The foreman was a dark-skinned, thin, middle-aged man who spoke quite frankly.
"Alright, let's start construction today according to the blueprints. Xin Yue, keep an eye on things." Chen Xun turned to Lin Xin Yue and said.
Lin Xinyue nodded, holding a folder in her hand, her red ponytail neatly tied. She walked over to the foreman and began checking the materials list and construction steps, speaking slowly but asking detailed questions about every single item.
Yang Xiaotao was wearing overalls today, her yellow braids swaying back and forth. She leaned close to Li Qian and whispered, "Sister Qian, look at Sister Xinyue, she looks like the homeroom teacher checking homework."
Li Qian smiled slightly but didn't reply. She was holding a tablet and looking at the framework of the opening marketing plan that she had stayed up all night to finish.
Chen Xun clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"Let's clarify the division of labor again. Xinyue, you are the overall person in charge. You have full authority over the progress, quality, and budget. If you encounter any problems, you make the decisions. If you can't make a decision, come to me."
"Xiao Tao, you're in charge of purchasing all the decorations and props. Xin Yue has already approved the list for desks, blackboards, and old items. Just buy them according to the list and keep the prices in mind."
"Li Qian, the marketing plan should be implemented simultaneously, especially the online pre-launch campaign; the timing must be perfect."
"Understood!" Yang Xiaotao was the first to respond.
Li Qian hummed in agreement and swiped her fingers across the tablet.
Lin Xinyue gave Chen Xun an "OK" sign, then turned around and continued talking to the foreman.
Construction has officially begun.
The sounds of electric drills and hammering soon filled the air. The workers started by treating the walls, painting the lower half of the original plain white walls green with wainscoting and the upper half with chalkboard paint.
Lin Xinyue stood not far away watching, occasionally walking over to remind people to "clean up the edges" or "don't splatter paint on the floor tiles."
With her shopping list in hand, Yang Xiaotao skipped out the door, heading to the nearby stationery market and secondhand furniture market to hunt for bargains.
Li Qian found a relatively quiet corner and began to refine her marketing schedule.
Chen Xun walked around the store, his mind preoccupied with the system.
【Ding. 】
The investment in the "Nostalgic Campus Themed Experience Area" project has reached 30%.
[Triggered phased rebate: 100,000 yuan.]
[The money has arrived.]
The notification sound of the money arriving in his account reassured him. This system really did provide real-time updates, just like a progress bar in a game.
He walked over to the wall that was being painted, squatted down, and took a closer look.
A small section of the green wainscoting has already been painted, and the color is quite vibrant, but...
Chen Xun frowned, stood up, and walked to the spot where the feature wall was to be built. The blueprints showed that a large corkboard was to be nailed there to display customers' "nostalgic postcards" and sticky notes.
But he looked up at the fire sprinkler heads on the ceiling and then at the planned height of the corkboard on the blueprints.
"Xin Yue, come here for a second," Chen Xun called out.
Lin Xinyue jogged over: "What's wrong?"
"Look here," Chen Xun pointed to the blueprints and the actual location, "If this corkboard is hung this high as shown in the blueprints, won't it block the coverage of the fire sprinkler heads? What if... Although the possibility is extremely small, fire safety is no small matter."
Lin Xinyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a measuring tape and asked a worker to help her measure the distance from the shower head to the wall. She also compared the size of the cork board and the hanging height.
Her expression changed slightly.
"Indeed... it's a bit risky. It might not completely block the view, but it will affect the overall effect." Lin Xinyue looked at Chen Xun. "We need to change the plan. Either make the corkboard smaller, or hang it lower."
"Hang it lower, as long as it doesn't interfere with taking photos and clocking in," Chen Xun decided immediately. "Tell the foreman right away to adjust it. Do a thorough check of all safety-related areas again. Blueprints are static, but the site is dynamic."
"Okay!" Lin Xinyue immediately turned around to find the foreman and quickly explained the situation.
Chen Xun watched her decisive figure leave and mentally gave her a thumbs up. This girl is capable.
In the afternoon, Zhou Wenbin actually showed up.
He wandered around the store with his hands behind his back, nodding as he looked at the green wainscoting that was already taking shape and the blackboard wall that was being worked on.
"You're pretty quick, Brother Chen."
"Brother Zhou, what brings you here?" Chen Xun greeted him.
"Just passing by, taking a look." Zhou Wenbin pointed to Lin Xinyue, who was confirming details with the foreman. "Your team leader is pretty impressive. I overheard her arguing with the workers for ages about the placement of a nail."
Chen Xun laughed: "It's good that you're capable; it saves me trouble."
Zhou Wenbin patted Chen Xun on the shoulder: "Young man, you have drive, and your team is good too. Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for your project."
He stayed for another ten minutes or so, asked about the approximate completion time, and then left.
As evening fell, the day's construction came to an end.
The basic renovation of the walls was mostly completed. The workers packed up their tools and left, and the shop became quiet for the time being.
Yang Xiaotao also returned, her face flushed with excitement, followed by a delivery tricycle.
"Big brother! Sister Xinyue! Sister Qian! Come quick, look at the treasure I found!"
She directed the delivery driver to bring the items inside.
Two old-fashioned double desks, their paint slightly faded, but full of character. A genuine old blackboard, its edges made of wood. There's also a pile of tin pencil boxes, enamel mugs, old textbooks, and even a few tin frogs and beanbags.
"Great job, Xiao Tao!" Chen Xun picked up a tin frog, wound it up, and the frog started jumping around.
"All of this only cost less than three thousand yuan!" Yang Xiaotao proudly raised her head. "I haggled with the shop owner for a long time!"
Lin Xinyue had already picked up a calculator and started checking the invoices and budget.
Li Qian also came over, picked up an old textbook and flipped through it: "These props are of very good quality, the photos should turn out well."
Chen Xun gathered everyone in the "classroom area" that had not yet been decorated.
"Good progress today," he said first, then looked at Lin Xinyue, "Is the fire hazard issue resolved?"
"Yes, the plan has been adjusted. The corkboard has been moved down by 15 centimeters. The foreman said it can be installed tomorrow," Lin Xinyue reported.
"Okay." Chen Xun nodded. "The renovation is about 30-40% complete. Let's discuss when we can tentatively set the trial opening date."
Li Qian took out her tablet: "Based on the construction progress and the marketing pre-launch period, I suggest completing all the hard decorations and furnishings around next Wednesday or Thursday, doing final cleaning and testing over the weekend, and starting trial operation the following Monday."
Lin Xinyue quickly did some mental calculations: "Time is a bit tight, but we can make it by working overtime. The key is that the marketing and pre-launch activities must be synchronized, otherwise there will be no sign of the opening."
Yang Xiaotao raised her hand: "I've already prepared the design drafts! I've also come up with a few scripts for the promotional videos on Xiaohongshu and Douyin!"
Li Qian continued, "So I suggest that we hold a small-scale 'campus-themed pre-opening event' before the trial operation."
Chen Xun raised an eyebrow: "Tell me more."
"This weekend, when the renovation is mostly complete," Li Qian said calmly, "we'll invite some regular customers, or recruit a group of 'campus experience officers' through an online lottery, to come in early, take photos, and post them on social media. It'll be a kind of internal test, and it'll also generate some buzz."
Yang Xiaotao's eyes lit up: "That's great! I can design some interactive games, like 'hopscotch' and 'beanbag toss,' and the winners will receive coupons for our store!"
Lin Xinyue had already pulled out her phone calculator: "The increased costs... are mainly for small gifts and coupons, and we may also need to prepare some simple tea and snacks for the experience officers. The budget will probably increase by about 1,500 to 2,000."
All three girls looked at Chen Xun.
Chen Xun glanced at the three of them: Lin Xinyue calmly calculated the accounts, Li Qian planned the overall strategy, and Yang Xiaotao came up with all sorts of ideas.
He smiled.
"Okay, let's do it this way. Li Qian, you take the lead on the pre-event plan and come up with a detailed plan as soon as possible. Xin Yue, calculate the costs and keep them under control. Xiao Tao, you're in charge of designing the interactive activities; don't make them too complicated, just make them fun."
"Our first major marketing campaign is this weekend."
Chen Xun clapped his hands.
"Everyone, stay alert, the next few days will be busy."
Yang Xiaotao exclaimed "Yay!" eager to try. Li Qian had already started taking notes on the tablet. Lin Xinyue, meanwhile, looked at the old desks that had just been moved in, silently planning tomorrow's construction schedule.
Outside the shop, the sky was gradually darkening, but the eyes of the three girls inside were shining brightly.
