Wu Siyuan appeared again at the headquarters of Yangcheng Company [Chaoqun Group].
The headquarters is in a Grade A office building in the Yangcheng CBD area.
[Chaoqun Group] rented six floors here with thousands of workstations.
At first, I felt that the workstations were sufficient, but with the development of [Chaoqun Group]'s major business lines, the original area became increasingly difficult to meet office needs.
Huang Yuping, the president of [Chaoqun Group], reported this problem to Wu Siyuan very early and proposed a plan to purchase land to build his own company headquarters.
These days, large companies, especially Internet companies, are keen to buy their own land and build their own headquarters buildings.
In fact, Internet companies are no less enthusiastic about buying houses and land than the middle class is obsessed with housing in school districts.
From the era of Sohu, to the era of BAT giants, to the era of the new giant TMK that is now vaguely taking shape, Internet companies seem to be keen on buying houses and land, provided they have sufficient financial support, not only to meet the increasingly large-scale office needs, but also
It is also a means of investment in itself.
After all, once you have money in your pocket, real estate has always been ranked first in investment in China.
At the same time, to a certain extent, the size of land parcels acquired in several first-tier cities, the location of the land parcels, and what kind of buildings can be built, these factors have also become a way for Internet companies to demonstrate their hard power.
method.
On the other hand, local cities also welcome these large enterprises to settle in, because it will bring employment, tax revenue, and thus promote urban development.
Facing the needs of such large enterprises, local cities will also provide many discounts.
For large enterprises, buying land to build a headquarters building not only meets the needs of development, but also has many benefits.
And [Chaoqun Group] has no shortage of funds on its books.
[Sanwei Xiangzhu], [Jiawei Brand Thirteen Fragrances], [Shen Nong Orchard], [Small Fresh Pork], these have formed economies of scale and earned huge profits for the group every year. Even if it is a [waste treatment plant],
Because of the introduction of a unique treatment process, the profits of the [waste treatment plant] are not low, and they can earn at least tens of millions every year.
Not to mention, the investment department managed by Wu Siyuan himself can remit tens of millions of dollars from abroad every month.
Ten million US dollars is six to seventy million yuan.
From June 2015 to September 2016, it took a total of 15 months. In total, 200 million US dollars were remitted back, which is more than one billion yuan.
Wu Siyuan saw it some time ago. The amount in the company account of [Chaoqun Group] exceeds 3 billion yuan.
With such a huge sum of money, are you worried that it won’t be enough to buy land and build a building?
Therefore, Wu Siyuan just pondered for a moment before instructing Huang Yuping to find a suitable land.
Today's [Chaoqun Group] has long been famous and has so many high-quality brands on hand. It can be regarded as a rising small giant in the agricultural field and retail field.
It’s not impossible to soar in time!
As soon as it was released, city government staff came to visit and showed sufficient sincerity, promising a large discount on the land price, and a three-year tax exemption and three-year tax reduction policy on corporate income tax. After all, Yangcheng is also worried that his child [Chaoqun Group] will run away with someone else.
Although Yangcheng is also a first-tier city in China, there are several first-tier cities in China, each with its own location advantages.
Maybe one day [Chaoqun Group] will be spotted by another city and coaxed into moving away.
By then it will be too late to regret.
This matter is not without precedent.

………
After many rounds of inspections and meetings and discussions, Wu Siyuan finally made the decision to locate the headquarters in Yangcheng's High-tech Development Zone, and secured a 2,100-acre plot of land to serve as the group's headquarters and supporting industrial park.
Construction land for employee commodity community.
Only high-tech development zones can provide such a large amount of land.
The high-tech development zone is located in the suburbs of Yangcheng. The government has planned it for a long time, but it has never been able to develop.
Only this place can provide such a large piece of land.
The Yangcheng City Government also hopes that [Chaoqun Group] will play a leading role in the high-tech development zone and drive the healthy development of the entire high-tech development zone.
Although the Yangcheng City Government has given [Chaoqun Group] a very strong discount, [Chaoqun Group] also spent more than 1.8 billion in real money in order to win this land, which is a huge hemorrhage.
Fortunately, the next headquarters construction does not require all the money to be spent immediately.
Just settle the payment according to the progress of the process.
If there is a time buffer, it will not be a problem for a company with abundant cash flow like [Chaoqun Group].
At present, [Chaoqun Group], which obtained the land, has launched an external bidding process.
If everything goes well, the new headquarters will be built in the next one or two years, and by then the employees of [Chaoqun Group] will be able to move into the spacious new headquarters and move into the welfare housing built by the headquarters at preferential internal prices.<

Living in Yangcheng is not easy, but Wu Siyuan allows his employees to live better if he is able.

……
Let’s not talk about the headquarters for now.
In fact, Wu Siyuan came back to the company for other reasons.
About the smart fitting software——[Audition].
Before Wu Siyuan traveled through [Golden Scale World], this [Audition] software was already very popular, and even attracted reports from CCTV.
And now, [Audition] has become even more popular abroad, with more than 30 million downloads and nearly 24 million daily actives.
The Internet is like this. Once a popular product appears, the increase in users is often not a multiple, but an exponential one.
[Audition] The working group feels that their daily task is to ask for money from the group to buy servers, and then ask for money again to buy servers.
I feel a little numb.
It has only been a month or two since [Audition] went online.
This software is naturally suitable for use in the e-commerce field.
Not only the executives of [Chaoqun Group] know this, but other e-commerce companies also understand it.
Now domestic e-commerce giants are coming to discuss cooperation.
Not only the vice president of [Alibaba] in Hangzhou, but also the second-in-command of [JD.com] in Imperial City came over.
[Alibaba]’s offer to [Audition] is US$1.5 billion, with a cash plus [Alibaba] stock payment model. The requirement is to acquire the entire [Audition] project team, especially the technical department, and the core personnel must be acquired within two years.
Cannot resign.
This is [Alibaba]'s consistent style. It prefers acquisitions rather than investments for companies it likes.
The conditions offered by [JD.com] are much more favorable than those offered by [JD.com]. It may be because it knows that its financial resources are not as good as [Yari], so it does not seek acquisitions, but only hopes to invest.
[JD.com] plans to invest US$150 million to acquire 20% of the shares of [Audition]-related companies and gain priority for cooperation.
