Ideal International Building is very famous in Beijing. How famous is it?
Any company that wants to go public wants to try its luck here, because Baidu and Sina have done business here.
It happened that there was an old acquaintance in the Ideal International Building, so the ofo team rented two floors here.
Chen Dongcheng also admires their courage. You must know that the rent of Ideal International Building is not cheap.
The rent of two million a month is really not something that ordinary start-up companies can afford.
Ofo took down two floors in one go, and it seems like a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
As for whether he can bear it or not, that has nothing to do with Chen Dongcheng.
Anyway, he has sold Qingju Technology, and no matter how explosive the bicycle sharing field is, it has nothing to do with him.
On the 15th floor of the building, the original company moved out, and the newly vacated floor is very popular.
Mao Hanhua, an executive of Ideal Group and the person in charge of this building, is waiting with his hands tied.
"bite."
The elevator bell rang. Mao Hanhua looked over, stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and said, "You are Mr. Chen, I am Mao Hanhua."
"Hello, Mr. Mao."
Chen Dongcheng shook hands with Mao Hanhua, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then began to look at the house.
"Mr. Chen, your subordinates should have told you before that our Ideal Building has always been the most popular office building in Beijing.
Once each floor becomes vacant, several companies will come to my office and ask me to sign contracts.
Because you have contacted me before, and our Ideal Group is very willing to make you a friend, so we specially leave this level to you."
What Mao Hanhua said was true and not adulterated.
Whether you call it superstition or vanity, ideal buildings are always in demand.
There are a lot of new office buildings supplied in Beijing every year, but they are still not as good as the 12-year-old Ideal Building.
After all, this building has witnessed the glory of Baidu and Sina.
Of course, this building never tolerates losers.
A company without money cannot even pay rent.
"When I came here, I saw that there was only one logo on the roof. The one in the southeast corner was ofo?"
Chen Dongcheng asked seemingly casually.
Mao Hanhua smiled and nodded: "Speaking of the location of this logo, there is a rather interesting origin.
At the beginning, Mr. Li from Baidu really wanted to put the logo on the roof of our building, but the scale of Baidu was too small at first.
Sina and Patriot are our largest leasing customers, but the senior management of the group has never agreed.
Until Baidu went public, the whole building was boiling. I witnessed with my own eyes the glory of Baidu going public.
8 billionaires, 50 multi-millionaires and over 200 millionaires were created overnight.
Now that I think about it, it feels like it’s happening right in front of me.”
Mao Hanhua said with a sigh: "But since Baidu went public, the desire to ask for the logo position has faded away.
Later, I built my own headquarters and moved directly.”
While talking, Mao Hanhua took Chen Dongcheng to the 12th floor.
Baidu used to have its office here, and it didn't move out until it made money from going public and built its headquarters.
Chen Dongcheng looked around and found that there was no one on this floor and the office was locked.
"Where is the company that rents this floor?"
"Forget it, he was an old man who started his own business in Baidu. As soon as he heard that there was a space on the 12th floor, he signed the contract immediately.
As a result, something went wrong when the team was being set up, and now it’s basically out of business, and we still have to pay rent every month.”
Mao Hanhua is also a little helpless, but some people are superstitious. Baidu's success has a historical background.
Your company can be listed on the same floor as Baidu.
Chen Dongcheng returned to the 15th floor to confirm the specific details with Mao Hanhua.
Luo Yundi next to him eavesdropped, his eyes full of admiration.
It is true that he is the second generation of rich people, but there are also highs and lows in the second generation of rich people.
Some people can rely on the resources of their parents to elevate their careers to levels beyond their parents' achievements.
Some people just squander their money.
In Luo Yundi's heart, of course he hopes that he can be as dominant in the business world as Chen Dongcheng.
But think about it carefully, how difficult it is to get to this point.
Opportunities, abilities, and connections are all indispensable.
"Mr. Chen, welcome Cao Cao Takeaway to the big family of Ideal Building. You can send people to decorate it now."
Mao Hanhua signed the contract with Chen Dongcheng and breathed a sigh of relief.
As building managers, they must maintain relationships with these tenants.
Chen Dongcheng and others are the cash cows of the Ideal Group.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mao."
"You're welcome. I'm leaving now. If you need anything, please contact me anytime."
Mao Hanhua left with his secretary and left Chen Dongcheng a business card before leaving.
"Wow, brother-in-law, this floor will be your company's office building from now on?"
Luo Yundi heard clearly just now that the rent of the 3,400-square-meter office building in front of him was nearly 2 million per month.
Although there is a two-month rent-free concession, it is not a small amount for any company.
"Sooner or later, Cao Cao's food delivery will enter the capital. Since he wants to occupy a C position in Zhongguancun, it is right to rent this building.
From a certain perspective, this building also represents the status of the world."
Chen Dongcheng patted Luo Yundi on the shoulder and said casually: "Jingyu, contact the decoration company and decorate this office building as quickly as possible."
"OK."
Xie Jingyu simply nodded and replied.
Chen Dongcheng found a place to have a cup of coffee, and Xie Jingyu took Luo Yundi to make appointments with various decoration companies.
Luo Yundi followed for a long time and admired Xie Jingyu more and more.
Although Xie Jingyu is just a secretary, he is very proficient in decoration matters.
What Luo Yundi admires most is Xie Jingyu's carefulness.
Just when he thought he could leave after getting one plan, Xie Jingyu finalized several alternative decoration companies one after another.
Each decoration company has been rated below.
How many years have you been working in the industry? Do you have any experience in decorating office buildings before? What are some wonderful decoration cases?
After everything was done, Xie Jingyu got it in front of Chen Dongcheng.
Chen Dongcheng chose a decoration company that Xie Jingyu rated highly: "Contact them and start construction as soon as possible."
"clear."
Xie Jingyu nodded and went out to contact the selected decoration company.
"Brother-in-law, Brother Xie is so awesome!"
After following him for a day, Luo Yundi was completely convinced by Xie Jingyu.
He felt that if he wanted to reach Xie Jingyu's level of care, he would have enough trouble in this life.
"It is a good thing to know how to be reverent. Everyone has their own strengths.
As managers, we must arrange these capable people into positions that best suit them."
Chen Dongcheng briefly talked about some of his own feelings, which benefited Luo Yundi a lot.
When he went home for dinner in the evening, Luo Yunqi noticed some changes in his younger brothers and asked curiously: "Where have you been today?"
"My brother-in-law rented an office building on the first floor of the Ideal Building. It's a really cool place."
Luo Yundi couldn't help but get excited when he mentioned this. He witnessed the whole process of signing the contract with his own eyes.
Even Mao Hanhua was a little surprised at how quickly Chen Dongcheng made his decision.
Other companies usually need one to two weeks of consideration before giving him an accurate answer.
Chen Dongcheng was so nice that he signed the contract on the same day and the deposit was directly transferred to the Ideal Group's account.
Chen Dongcheng ate his dinner calmly, while Luo Yundi kept talking about what happened today.
Luo Yunqi just nodded but said nothing.
She never interferes with Chen Dongcheng's business.
"You can just stay with me for one day. Go back to your company honestly tomorrow and don't pester your brother-in-law all the time."
"Don't worry, I know myself. I'm not made to be a secretary."
"Then tell me what material you are?"
Luo Yundi looked at her sister with a teasing look on her face, put down her chopsticks, and said plausibly: "She must be similar to her brother-in-law. She has a career."
"Come on, I'll be satisfied if you can run the family business well."
Luo Yundi knew that the elder sister was doing it for her own good, but was afraid that she would be too ambitious, so she silently lowered her head to eat.
Luo Yundi was not asked to go to the hotel in the evening. There were so many rooms at home, and there was no shortage of one for him.
When I woke up in the morning and went to the living room, I found the breakfast Luo Yundi bought on the table.
"This brat."
Luo Yunqi looked at the breakfast with tears in his eyes.
The sharp-tongued sister image last night was just an illusion.
Deep love, deep responsibility.
What she fears most is that her brother is uneducated and will ruin the family business that her parents have worked hard for all their lives.
That's why Luo Yundi proposed to spend a day with Chen Dongcheng yesterday, so she didn't stop him.
If Luo Yundi could learn something from Chen Dongcheng, she would be relieved.
Chen Dongcheng had breakfast, drove Luo Yunqi to the law firm, and then transferred to Fuguhui.
The person who asked him to meet was Lin Xidi. After the last meeting, he got Chen Dongcheng's phone number.
"Mr. Chen, I have an order for a Bugatti Chiron. Are you interested?"
Bugatti Chiron?
Chen Dongcheng is interested in supercars, but not very strongly.
Pang Zhengyang and others were very opposed to Chen Dongcheng driving by himself, which would make security more difficult for security guards like them.
As time passed, Chen Dongcheng's interest in playing sports cars faded.
"Let's see what the price is."
Chen Dongcheng did not refuse directly and planned to listen to the price first.
Lin Xidi's face was filled with joy, but Chen Dongcheng didn't deny it immediately, which meant there was something going on.
“My Chiron was ordered at the beginning of the year, and the total cost including options was 3.2 million euros.
The Bugatti Chiron is limited to 500 units worldwide, each with its own number.
Mine is a 60, and the Songyang one is a 91. They are very collectible.
According to my internal ranking at Bugatti, I should get a new car by the end of next year."
Lin Xi said a lot of words, just to make Chen Dongcheng more interested.
When Chen Dongcheng heard Lin Xi talking about ranking, he asked: "Didn't you buy two Veyrons, and the ranking in Bugatti is not high?"
"Mr. Chen, please stop making fun of me. How can I, Lin Xidi, compare with those oil princes and Gibraltar trenches?
Even in the Bugatti buyer class, I am barely a first-tier keeper, nothing to brag about.”
Lin waved her hands happily, smiling a little bitterly.
While chatting and drinking, Chen Dongcheng had a rough understanding of Bugatti's buyer system.
The lowest level is for buyers who don't even own a Veyron.
The mid-range is for buyers who only have one Veyron, and the top-end is for buyers who have two or more Veyrons.
Lin Xidi owns two Veyrons, which are just on the threshold of the highest grade. It's not too much to call them goalkeepers.
The official price of a Bugatti Chiron is 2.5 million euros.
If you include options, the price is well over 3 million euros.
Lin Xidi's quotation is quite reasonable, but it also proves that Yangfan Group is really in trouble.
Transfer orders from Lin Xidi is the best example.
Chen Dongcheng easily bought four Chirons in a month by relying on consumer rebates.
If he wants to order a car, Chen Dongcheng can contact Bugatti officials himself.
Lin Xidi's only advantage is that with the status he has accumulated in the past, he can supply orders ahead of time.
Looking at Lin Xidi who was full of expectations but also afraid of being rejected by him.
Chen Dongcheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Lin Xidi, who once led the domestic supercar trend, will finally make his curtain call from the stage.
