Chen Dongcheng motioned to Sun Ying to look around and see if the house was suitable.
Manager Zhang was not worried at all about the attractiveness of this house, so he confidently allowed Sun Ying to visit it.
Generally, those who can rent this kind of house are executives from big companies in Lujiazui.
For these people, price is not the most important, quality is the most important.
Especially this kind of serviced apartment perfectly solves the most annoying household problems of these elites.
The services provided by Four Seasons Hotel will definitely satisfy all guests staying there.
Sun Ying was not short of money. In the early days of starting her business, Heytea offered her a modest salary of half a million yuan.
And before the next round of financing, Nie Yunjing agreed to give Sun Ying 2% of the shares as an incentive.
After the assistant Ding Mengxue followed Sun Ying around, she wished she could live here with Sun Ying every day.
Soft and comfortable mattresses, luxurious bathtubs, stunning oversized floor-to-ceiling windows...
The standard features of a luxury home are all found in this house.
Not to mention, you don’t even have to clean the house yourself, which is so enviable...
Sun Ying turned around and felt quite satisfied.
Just when I was about to negotiate the price with Manager Zhang, I found that Chen Dongcheng had signed the contract over there.
Manager Zhang left the key with a smile and taught Sun Ying to change the password.
The security of this kind of apartment is quite good.
"Mr. Sun, are you going to live here in the future?"
Ding Mengxue vaguely noticed that the relationship between Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen seemed a bit strange.
How should I put it, it's like they both understand each other's thoughts a little bit.
But for some reason, the layer of paper was never broken, which made Ding Mengxue anxious.
According to Ding Mengxue's point of view, when meeting a wealthy son-in-law like Chen Dongcheng, he must first occupy his position before anything can be said.
Who knows if I will ever meet such a man again.
If you miss it once, you will regret it for life!
Sun Ying smiled and nodded, and said to Ding Mengxue: "If you want to come and stay, I welcome you."
"Really?"
Ding Mengxue was a little excited, and her voice soared, startling Chen Dongcheng who was on the phone not far away.
"Sorry, Mr. Chen."
Ding Mengxue blushed with embarrassment and apologized quickly.
Sun Ying has a very friendly smile and a very good personality.
Ding Mengxue did not treat her completely as a subordinate, but as his own student.
Within the company, Ding Mengxue is a die-hard supporter of Sun Ying.
After Chen Dongcheng finished the phone call, he walked back into the house and apologized: "I have something to deal with..."
"You go about your business, Xiaoxue and I will take care of it.
I will discuss the takeout matter with Nie Yunjing and give Cao Cao a satisfactory answer to the takeout side."
Chen Dongcheng nodded and left in a hurry.
Ding Mengxue said flatly: "Mr. Sun, why don't you stay with Mr. Chen for a while? I see that Mr. Chen is so busy. I don't know when I will meet you next time."
"Silly girl, some men are like eagles, destined to soar in the sky. We can't tie them down."
Sun Ying smiled and touched Ding Mengxue's little head, rolled up her sleeves and started to tidy up.
The two cleaned up for a while, and Xie Jingyu came back with a lot of bed sheets, quilts, pillows and other household items.
Ding Mengxue looked at these things and was in a daze.
Many supplies were from big brands that she had only heard of and never seen online.
Especially after asking Xie Jingyu, I found out that some pillows can be sold for 4,500 each.
Well, it’s her monthly salary...
Xie Jingyu said with a smile: "The boss is very concerned about Mr. Sun's quality of life, and all expenses are consistent with the boss."
Sun Ying smiled and thanked: "Sorry to trouble you, thank you, secretary."
"You're welcome, I'll leave now. The boss has something else waiting for me to do."
Xie Jingyu replied politely, not daring to be arrogant at all.
In the secretarial business, the more careful you are, the longer you can spend with your boss.
Ding Mengxue waited for Xie Jingyu to leave and said curiously: "That secretary just now seemed very powerful."
"My monthly salary is more than ten times yours."
Sun Ying heard Chen Dongcheng say this before.
"So powerful?"
Ding Mengxue was shocked. It turned out that there were really secretaries who could make millions a year. She was so envious...
"How about I give you a chance to follow Mr. Chen for a while?"
Sun Ying laughed and joked, making Ding Mengxue blush, and waved her hands quickly: "I'm clumsy. I'm definitely not as good as Secretary Xie. I guess Mr. Chen will fire me that day."
"It's good if you can recognize yourself. Clean up quickly. We have to talk to Mr. Nie about takeout later."
Sun Ying started to take action, and unconsciously, the corners of his mouth began to curl up slightly.
Ding Mengxue naturally noticed it and whispered quietly: "Mr. Sun is the one he has a crush on at first glance, so he will suffer a loss..."
…
Xie Jingyu went downstairs and reported to Chen Dongcheng: "Boss, all the bedding supplies have been sent to Mr. Sun."
"Well, let's go to Soho Century Plaza."
Chen Dongcheng nodded and gave instructions to Pang Zhengyang.
Pang Zhengyang nodded silently and activated the Phantom.
The call I just received was from a think tank. Li Changqing and the others have been arguing with Soho Group for a while.
There was only one reason for the dispute. Chen Dongcheng was interested in a 5a Grade A office building located in the Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone held by Soho Group.
At the beginning, Soho Group was asking for sky-high prices.
Opening your mouth costs 3.3 billion, it’s just like a lion opening his mouth.
The think tank will definitely disagree. No matter how expensive the office buildings in Lujiazui are, they are not so expensive.
Those in Soho dare to shout high prices, and they have their support.
The occupancy rate of this office building has reached 100% for three consecutive years.
This means that as long as you take this office building, you will make money with your eyes closed.
This is also the reason why many fund institutions have purchased office buildings in Lujiazui.
The cold winter for capital does not mean the same cold winter for office buildings.
On the contrary, the office transactions in Shanghai are particularly lively during this capital winter.
In the current Lujiazui area of the Magic City, the slightly better office buildings have already been occupied.
As soon as the news of the sale of Soho Group was released, many institutions have already taken notice of the news.
If there are many wolves, there will only be one piece of meat.
Soho Group's abacus is very simple, pick the wolf with the highest price and feed it the meat.
Arriving at Soho Century Plaza, the exterior of the office building is a double-layer glass curtain wall, which looks like a piece of cut crystal, harmoniously blending with the Century Avenue landscape green belt.
In fact, this office building was acquired by Soho Group from other real estate companies.
At that time, it cost 1.89 billion, and many people thought the acquisition price was too high.
According to the current market conditions, Soho Group has made a lot of money.
Walking into the office building, the ten-meter-high lobby is bright and open, with a classy feel.
After this building is acquired, it can be used as the headquarters of its own companies, saving families the trouble of searching for housing.
Li Changqing was waiting in the lobby of the office building. When he saw Chen Dongcheng and the others walking in, he quickly walked over: "Boss."
"Well, how did the conversation go?"
Chen Dongcheng asked as he walked.
"Soho Group has relaxed its stance, but they have killed 3.2 billion, waiting for you to make a decision."
The book value of Soho Century Plaza is 2.7 billion. If it is acquired at 3.2 billion, Soho Group's financial report this year will undoubtedly be better.
Chen Dongcheng's mouth seemed to be smiling, but Pan Shitou couldn't bear it anymore.
Once the performance declines, everything that only rents but does not sell becomes a joke.
If this deal is negotiated, Soho Group will be able to share more profits with shareholders this year, and the couple will be able to cash out more money.
Along the way, Chen Dongcheng was already observing the office building as an owner.
When they arrived at the conference room, everyone on Chen Dongcheng's side stood up and greeted: "Boss."
"sit."
Chen Dongcheng sat at the head of his side and nodded to Yan Yan, the president of Soho Group opposite.
Yan Yan was a little surprised that Chen Dongcheng was young, but that didn't matter.
As long as Chen Dongcheng can afford it, he will be the noble person of their Soho Group.
"Mr. Chen, your team has been in contact with us for a while, and I came here just to finalize this matter.
Our bottom line is 3.2 billion, what is your opinion?"
"3.2 billion is no problem, but I need your help to deal with all the current user contracts."
"Uh, what do you mean?"
"I bought the office building for my own use. I don't care about the rent. Shouldn't you also solve the problem yourself for the merchants that Soho Group negotiated with before?"
Yan Yan suddenly felt that it was difficult. These companies that settled in were not simple.
They are all well-known financial companies at home and abroad, and Soho Group had a good relationship with them before.
As a result, the contract was signed for a relatively long time, and now the sudden withdrawal has actually constituted a breach of contract.
Mainly, people in Soho didn't expect that Chen Dongcheng would care so little about these tenants.
You know, these tenants can bring in 109 million in rent a year.
For real estate developers like Soho, which has been pursuing a rent-only-not-sale model, that is the most precious resource.
Yan Yan looked at the several executives around her, and everyone had a little surprise on their faces.
But what Chen Dongcheng said does make sense. They signed a contract with someone in Soho.
Even if they break the contract, they still have to bear it.
It's just that the price of breach of contract is a bit painful for Soho.
Funding is not a trivial matter, but the main reason is that so many tenants have been forced to cancel their leases collectively, which can easily affect Soho's reputation.
Compared with the income from selling office buildings, the reputation accumulated over the years is more important.
If the reputation is gone, where can Soho find so many companies to move into its office buildings every year?
Yan Yan thought for a while and tentatively said: "Mr. Chen, how about I give you a discount of 30 million, and at the same time I will be responsible for helping you negotiate and try to let these companies find other office spaces after the lease period ends."
"Mr. Yan, I came here with sincerity. I hope Soho won't disappoint me too much."
Chen Dongcheng’s attitude is clear: 3.2 billion is not a problem.
But the current tenant's contract must be dealt with clearly for him.
This kind of offending job should be left to Soho and the others.
Yan Yan had a headache. She thought for a long time and said, "Do you think this will work? I will give Mr. Chen 50 million.
At the same time, we will classify the current tenants. If the lease contract lasts for more than one year, we will persuade them.
Move them to our office buildings in other areas of the city, and we will bear the default costs.
As for the remaining tenants whose lease contracts are less than one year, I hope Mr. Chen can give our Soho Group a face.
When their contract expires, just don’t renew it.”
Chen Dongcheng is also aware of this price, and he probably has paid it down.
Pretending to think deeply for a while, he said: "Well, then I'll give Mr. Yan some face. I hope you can resolve the lease contract matter as soon as possible."
Now that the core issues have been discussed, the rest will become relatively simple.
Li Changqing and others are responsible for negotiating the specific payment details.
For this kind of transaction involving billions, Yan Yan and others understand the difficulty of payment and are willing to accept the installment payment model.
The payment method finally negotiated was that after the deal was concluded, 1 billion would be paid in the same month.
The remaining 2.15 billion will be divided into two installments and paid every six months.
After the negotiation ended, Yan Yan shook hands with Chen Dongcheng with a smile and said: "I hope there will be more cooperation opportunities with Mr. Chen in the future."
"must."
Yan Yan left the other executives and left first, while Li Changqing and the others stayed behind to follow the negotiations with Soho executives one by one.
All owners whose lease contracts lasted for more than one year had to be persuaded by Soho executives before they reluctantly signed the contract.
As for how Soho arranges for them, that's none of Chen Dongcheng's business.
This office building has 24 floors above ground and four underground floors are garages.
I have to say, there is still something good about Soho.
After the building was acquired, it was specially designed to highlight the high-end positioning of the office building.
Of course, if you do this, the rent will go up immediately.
With a rent of just over 100 million a year, the rate of return is very impressive.
But to Chen Dongcheng, this is not important.
He didn't buy it to increase the value of the office building, but purely for his own use.
In the evening, after a busy day, Li Changqing, whose voice had become hoarse, reported to Chen Dongcheng.
"Boss, the tenants have almost been cleared. Soho Group has made some space from several other office buildings to accommodate them.
After clearing out 70% of the tenants, the remaining 30% will gradually expire before June next year."
Chen Dongcheng looked at the re-signed contract and saw that the previous big tenants had left one after another.
As a result, Century Plaza suddenly had a lot of floors vacant.
Generally speaking, those with short lease contracts are basically small financial companies that are not confident enough in the company's development.
Like those well-known financial companies, the lease period will definitely not be short.
Except for floors 1-7, there are some small tenants.
The remaining 8-24 floors have all been vacated. After these companies are relocated, Chen Dongcheng can let his companies move in.
There are 17 floors of office area, each floor is a standard 2,000 square meters.
Generally speaking, for small and medium-sized startups, one layer is enough.
However, larger companies usually rent three or four floors to avoid being overcrowded.
For example, Douyin and Pinduoduo will definitely have more and more employees in the future.
The area of four floors is barely adequate.
This is all for later, at least for now, this office building can solve many problems.
Within a week, all the tenants on floors 8-24 were cleared, and Xie Jingyu hired a cleaning company to clean them all.
When Lu Guangyu and other professional managers came to Century Square, their eyes turned green.
Lu Guangyu and Gan Jiawei looked at each other and couldn't help but have a burning look in their eyes.
They are very aware of the sense of security that this kind of headquarters building can bring to employees.
Is renting someone else's office building the same as using it for your own home and no one is asking you to leave?
Lu Guangyu coughed lightly: "Dr. Chen, our Cao Cao Suda has to ask for two layers no matter what. This is what you promised before."
Gan Jiawei quickly followed up: "Our Cao Cao takeout also requires two layers."
Hong Jun was not to be outdone: “It’s the same with Douyin.”
Zeng Yiming from Little Blue Book, He Qian from Blue Whale Online Shopping, Zhu Zijing from Cao Cao Finance, Zhuang Manting from Pinduoduo...
Based on this calculation, these companies alone will be divided into fourteen floors, and another floor will be reserved as the group headquarters for all future companies.
Chen Dongcheng was thinking about the differentiation plan when the phone suddenly rang.
"Director Chen, this is me, Lao Zhou. We at Cao Cao Logistics have no credit but hard work. You can't forget us. We are not greedy. Just leave two floors for us."
Zhou Shaohua was talking on the phone, apparently hearing the letter from Lu Guangyu and the others.
Chen Dongcheng couldn't laugh or cry: "Every one of you really regards this building as your own home."
"Look what you said, isn't it convenient for us to accept your unified management, don't you think so?"
Lu Guangyu is a cunning old man, and he was the first one to make noises.
"Okay, let's do this first. Each person has two floors. You can decide for yourself."
Chen Dongcheng waved his hand and agreed directly.
A twenty-four-story office building is totally not to Chen Dongcheng's taste.
He was thinking that he would definitely build a taller office building if he had the opportunity in the future.
Lu Guangyu and the others happily walked aside, looked at the floor plan, and began to discuss.
Everyone unanimously gave up the 22nd and 23rd floors to Pinduoduo’s Zhuang Manting.
Everyone could see the closeness between Chen Dongcheng and Zhuang Manting.
They are all so smart that no one dares to compete with Zhuang Manting for a good floor.
If you really want to do that, you will kill yourself.
