After deciding to rent the factory, Xu Yun walked to Yang Hongzhi and asked:
"Director Yang, I wonder how much the rent is for this factory?"
Yang Hongzhi hesitated for a few seconds after hearing this, obviously weighing something, and finally said:
"Dr. Xu, you were introduced by Secretary-General Zheng, and HKUST can be considered a regular customer of our high-tech zone.
So I’ll just give you a base price.
One square meter per month is 105, what do you think?"
105/square meter/month.
To be honest, the price is not very different from Xu Yun's expectation. After all, the hardware cost of the factory is over there.
Even though some of it is funded by Novartis, the high-tech zone itself also spends a lot of money.
But as the saying goes, Chinese people who don’t bargain are not good Chinese people, so Xu Yun still wants to try again:
"Director Yang, can it be cheaper?
The first phase of Academician Pan's project here is worth 7 billion, can you give me some face?"
Hearing Xu Yun mention Academician Pan, Yang Hongzhi's pupils suddenly shrank slightly, and he felt a little embarrassed.
In 2017, the Luzhou Comprehensive National Science Center was officially approved, including the National Laboratory of Quantum Information.
That is, half of the two and a half national laboratories of HKUST mentioned earlier.
The entire Liangxin Laboratory is expected to invest 100 billion yuan in five years, of which 7 billion yuan will be invested in the first phase. The location is in Luzhou High-tech Zone - don't think the numbers are outrageous, this is true.
no way.
The star chain on the Eagle side has occupied all the orbits. If we don't do it, we will have no chance at all.
As the general person in charge of the entire project, Academician Pan is like a writer’s reader to the Hi-Tech Zone.
Not only is it untouchable, but it has to be provided for every day. It’s so humble—of course, this only refers to genuine readers.
Yang Hongzhi thought for a while and said:
"In that case, Dr. Xu, let's reduce it to 102 yuan per square meter per month. What do you think?"
With a discount of 3 yuan per square meter, 2,400 square meters is 86,000 yuan per year, which is indeed not a small amount.
However, Xu Yun was still not satisfied with the price. Then he pondered for a moment and continued:
"Director Yang, have you seen the trending search for HKUST cockroaches before?"
"Huh? Cockroach?"
Hearing the word popping out of Xu Yun's mouth, Yang Hongzhi blinked in confusion.
But although he couldn't figure out why Xu Yun suddenly changed the topic, he still said honestly:
"Of course I've seen it. It was ranked number one on the hot search list in the city that day."
"Then did you know that HKUST is planning to hold a live broadcast of disinfecting people?"
"I know, there was a girl in our department who was talking about this before you came. Wait, Dr. Xu, I remember Mr. Gu just said that your company is engaged in pesticides? Could it be?"
Xu Yun nodded with a smile and admitted frankly:
"That's right, the thing about the University of Science and Technology was initiated by our company, and now the product is applying for a patent."
Then he paused and looked at Yang Hongzhi meaningfully:
"Director Yang, since you know that HKUST is going to conduct a live broadcast of the disinfecting, you must also know that various media will be present that day, right?
The ones that have been confirmed so far include Wannan Tuantuan, Animal Observation Network, The Paper, in addition to Sichuan Province Observation and Sichuan Province Observation, etc., they are either official media or highly influential self-media.”
After briefly introducing the list of visitors, Xu Yun continued:
"At that time, the official WeChat account of the University of Science and Technology will also broadcast the entire process live, and the perspectives of several disinfecting points will be fixed 24 hours a day, and the rankings will be very high.
So Director Yang, I wonder if the district is interested in putting up a banner on site to advertise?"
"Banner advertising?"
"That's right, for example, put a ribbon above the disinfection point and write a slogan like 'Luzhou High-tech Zone wishes HKUST a complete success in disinfection'. What do you think?"
""
Facing Xu Yun's proposal, Yang Hongzhi subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But as soon as the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought of something and changed his words:
"Dr. Xu, what's the price for this kind of banner ad?"
“Of course it’s free!”
Xu Yun waved his hand generously:
"After all, the nature of the money is different. But free is free. You have to lower the rent of the factory a little. What do you think?"
When Yang Hongzhi heard this, he suddenly fell into deep thought.
As Xu Yun said.
With the increase in the traffic of many official media and the topic itself, the attention of the HKUST disinfecting has reached a limit.
Just like Hema’s 30,000 kilograms of watermelon incident, there are related topics every day, and relying on natural traffic, it has reached the top 20 hot searches.
At that time, the Hema incident was retweeted 300,000 times, watched by 600 million people, and attracted tens of millions of discussions.
Even after the winning lady "Fu Fu Shu" decided to give watermelons to 3,000 bus drivers in Shangdu, the number of live broadcast viewers reached 70 million.
True.
At present, the popularity of online platforms is often fake, and numbers cannot be true.
But even after deducting the false traffic, the actual number of people is still quite huge.
After all, Weibo’s daily life is there. Although it has various black spots that cannot be washed away, its reputation as the number one social software in the country is indeed not false.
If the Hema incident is like this, let alone the HKUST disinfecting, which is much larger in nature and foundation this time.
It can be said like this.
If the advertising space during the disinfecting period can be auctioned, the millions of advertising fees may be a bit exaggerated, but if the price is 200,000 or 300,000, there will definitely be a bunch of merchants rushing to transfer money in the next second.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of HKUST, it is impossible for the college to do such a philistine act and can only watch these tickets fly away.
The most it can do is make room for 002230 or the two families.
But apart from the above two companies, Luzhou High-tech Zone is in a very special situation.
It has an inseparable connection with the University of Science and Technology. Strictly speaking, a banner can stand wherever it is hung, and it is not afraid of rumors that it looks ugly.
But if no one speaks up, neither the University of Science and Technology nor the High-tech Zone will think of each other.
However, after Xu Yun mentioned this, Yang Hongzhi's thinking was opened up.
Due to its strong professionalism, the factory left by Novartis has never been taken over by a new owner. It has been vacant for three and a half years now.
If you miss Xu Yun's Huadun Biotech, I don't know how long it will be until someone takes a fancy to it next time.
If you can advertise in the form of rent reduction and exemption, let alone how much money you can make, at least there will be no loss.
At present, the annual investment in advertising in the High-tech Zone is close to tens of millions. For example, Wannan TV Station plays an investment advertisement for the High-tech Zone at 18:55 every day, which costs RMB 72,000 in 15 seconds.
Although the banner Xu Yun mentioned is not as intuitive as a TV advertisement, it can be hung for 24 hours.
Just like this, more than half a minute passed before Yang Hongzhi came back to his senses.
I saw a trace of determination flashing in his eyes, and he said to Xu Yun seriously:
"Dr. Xu, please give me a number. If I can accept it, we won't do any ink stains."
Xu Yun thought for a while and reported a number:
"Director Yang, I have a friend named Qiu Sheng. He has always liked 91, so why not order 91 for one yuan?"
Yang Hongzhi was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and stretched out his hand:
