(Martina’s P.O.V.]
Time flies when you are focused on something new. A lady knocked on the door and asked me to report to the conference room.
Iwill be able to meet my savior soon.
Iam both excited and nervous about it. I am looking forward to meeting him, of course. However, I am nervous that my plan will not meet his requirements and disappoint him.
How could I disappoint him when he trusted me enough to help me?
The door to the conference room was right in front of me. I took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
There were about a dozen people sitting at a huge solid wood conference table. However, my eyes only locked on one man who was the furthest away from me.
He had long blond hair that reached his ears and covered his forehead. His deep blue eyes seemed to be filled with stars. I had a hunch that he was the man who had saved my life.
I turned to Grimm for confirmation. He nodded at me.
Thad imagined my savior countless times in my mind, and it turned out that he was even more stunning than I had imagined.
He was handsome and kind, and my savior was an angel!
He seemed to be whispering something to Grimm, and I could not hear him clearly from a distance. After their small talk, Grimm smiled at me and said, “Miss Martina, please begin.”
I looked gratefully at my savior and opened the document in my hand.
“Empress’s Alley store. If it’s going to operate as it is now, It’s better to sell it as soon as possible.”
My stepmother did not allow me to go to college. I could not even go to school, let alone get a degree.
However, opening a store was one of my mother’s favorite bedtime stories when I was a kid.
My mother took me with her because she could not find a good job. To save money, we stayed at my mother’s store during the night. My mother did odd jobs at various stores. When she was about to go to bed at night, she would tell me stories about what was going on in the store.
So, I definitely had an opinion about the shop in Empress’s Alley.
I saw the corners of my savior’s mouth curling up. “The shop in Empress’s Alley has not performed well all year round. The biggest problem is the location. This can not be changed.”
I gave a phased conclusion. “So, if we are to operate according to the current model, we might as well sell the shop. This way, we can stop our losses in time, and the company can also use the profits as other investments to maximize the use of capital.
“But, the shop in Empress’s Alley is huge, more than most of the stores on the market. It’s such a pity to give it up just like that.”
Everyone in the room who listened understood this matter. My deeper intention was to see how my savior reacted and see his true attitude toward the shop.
I saw very clearly when I spoke that he want to sell the store, he nodded his head, and when I said that it would be a pity to give up, he frowned.
This shows that my savior cared about this store, so he will definitely listen to what I have to say next.
“From the demographic data, in recent years, the number of native people in Empress’s Alley has been decreasing, and the permanent resident population has decreased by ten percent. There are three reasons for this.
“First, the birth rate has decreased. The birth rate is less than the death rate, so the population will naturally decrease.
“Second, there will be a large outflow of people. A large number of households will move their families, and people will move to other places to live, so the flow of customers will naturally decrease.
“Third, the infrastructure is poor, so there will be no inflow of people. Empress’s Alley is an old city district. To put it bluntly, it’s dilapidated. There will be no opportunity to make money, so it will not attract people
“If there’s no one, then there’s no point in doing anything, be it food or daily entertainment. Traditional industries don’t have many advantages, so anything you do will be a loss.”
My savior smiled lightly when he heard this and spoke calmly. His voice was very clear, like a clear spring in the mountains. It was so clear that there was not a single trace of impurity.
“If traditional industries can’t do it, then tell me, what industries do you have planned?”
I closed the folder in my hand and looked straight into my benefactor’s eyes. “My idea is a bit wild, but I won’t know until I try, right?”
“Tell us.”
“It’s to build a unique cultural theme street, create a unique creative brand in the world, and rebuild Empress’s Alley.”
Whether my plan would succeed or not depends on this very moment.
My idea seemed to be a huge investment, but I had a very long-term benefit in mind. Investing in the early stages may be a challenge, but once it was completed, once we put up the brand, the entire street would cooperate with each other, and the profits would be very considerable. In a few years, we
would be able to recoup the capital.
Alas, everything would depend on how my savior thought about it.
I felt that he would not give up directly because if he sold the shop, today’s meeting would not even have happened.
“Have you decided on the theme of the characteristic cultural street?” My savior pondered for a few seconds and asked me.
Before I entered the meeting room, if my benefactor had asked me, I definitely would not have been able to answer. When I saw him, however, I suddenly thought of a lone wolf standing at the peak of a snowy mountain.
Thonestly said my imagination, “Werewolf Cultural Street, the kind that has a full line of food and entertainment..”
