This office building was indeed just built not long ago, and some of the earth, rocks and debris downstairs have not yet been completely cleaned up.
After parking the car, Yin Xiu and Ji Xueqing walked directly into the building. I spoke to the receptionist at the front desk and after waiting for about two or three minutes, I saw a middle-aged man about forty years old walking out of the elevator.
"Are you Mr. Ji from Xianzi? Sorry to keep you two waiting..."
When the middle-aged man saw Ji Xueqing, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly came up to meet her, taking the initiative to extend a hand to Ji Xueqing.
With Ji Xueqing's appearance and professional suit, she is full of the intellectual beauty of a modern urban woman. At first glance, she gives people a very bright and moving feeling. She is simply a beautiful scenery.
Of course, the middle-aged man just thought Ji Xueqing was beautiful, purely out of admiration and surprise. Probably when he talked to Ji Xueqing before, he didn't expect that Mr. Ji would be such a young and beautiful beauty.
After all, seeing a beautiful woman is always a pleasing thing.
"Are you Manager Fang? Hello!"
Ji Xueqing shook hands with the other party politely.
After letting go, Manager Fang said: "Mr. Ji, how about... I take you up to take a look?"
"Well, okay, I'm sorry to bother you, Manager Fang." Ji Xueqing responded.
He followed Manager Fang to the elevator nearby.
At the same time, Manager Fang also introduced, "Mr. Ji, our Platinum Building has just been built and put into use for just over a month. There are still many floors left that have not been rented out. Which floor do you want? have a look?"
Ji Xueqing exchanged glances with Yin Xiu next to her, and then said: "It should be above the twentieth floor. Manager Fang, please check which floor is suitable, and we will go and take a look first."
This office building has a total of twenty-eight floors. Ji Xueqing originally planned to rent a high-rise office building so that she could look at the scenery outside and relax during her free time at work.
So as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked Manager Fang to take her up to see the floors above the 20th floor.
"Okay. Mr. Ji. Let's go check out the 23rd floor first. This entire floor is not rented out, which meets the requirements you mentioned before, Mr. Ji."
Manager Fang said. At this time, several people had entered the elevator, and he casually pressed the button for the twenty-third floor.
When Ji Xueqing contacted Platinum Tower before, she said she planned to rent an entire floor of the office building. Therefore, those floors that have already rented out part of their area are obviously not suitable for Ji Xueqing's requirements.
After a while, several people arrived on the twenty-third floor.
The entire floor was empty, and the area was quite large. It is estimated that the entire floor should be about 1,100 square meters. Such a large area is basically sufficient for Xianzi's development and expansion needs in the future.
A few people took a brief look on the twenty-third floor. Overall, Ji Xueqing was quite satisfied.
Now Xianzi's online mall has been launched, and soon we will even start preparing to enter several first-tier cities. By then, the entire company's human resources will definitely expand greatly.
Corresponding functional departments must also be established. For example, the finance department, administration department, personnel department, production department... etc. must be clearly defined one by one.
After all, Xianzi in the future will never be like it is now, with not many staff and very simple management. Once it reaches a certain scale, various functional departments are indispensable, otherwise it will easily cause management confusion and unclear authority.
Once the company establishes these functional departments. At that time, office areas for each department, as well as corresponding conference rooms, etc. will be needed.
That's why Ji Xueqing decided to directly rent an entire floor of an office building to meet future expansion needs. Solve the problems in the future at once to avoid the trouble of repeated relocation in the future.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Ji Xueqing suddenly saw a blockade cordoned around a construction site not far away. There were also many people busy on the construction site, but it didn't look like they were building a real estate.
Manager Fang, who was accompanying him, looked at the words and responded casually: "Oh, an office building was originally going to be built there. But I heard that a large underground tomb was dug out, so it is now blocked. Yes. Those people should be researchers from archaeological institutions."
"oh."
Ji Xueqing nodded. Withdrew his gaze. He continued to look at the situation of this floor of the office building, and then asked: "Are there other floors?"
Manager Fang responded quickly: "Yes, the 25th and 26th floors above are still completely empty. How about I take two more people up to have a look?"
"Yeah, okay."
Ji Xueqing and Yin Xiu went to see the situation on the 25th and 26th floors respectively. There is no difference in the overall layout. When the time comes, you can make corresponding decorations and other arrangements according to your own needs.
Ji Xueqing's main thing is to feel which layer makes her more comfortable and satisfied.
"Manager Fang, what's the rental price here?" After taking a rough look at the three floors. Ji Xueqing finally asked about the price.
Manager Fang asked: "How long does Mr. Ji intend to sign a lease contract at one time?"
Ji Xueqing said: "You can sign for two years."
Ji Xueqing has her own plans. According to Xianzi's current development, two years should be enough to open up the market nationwide.
By then, the scale of Xianzi may not even be able to accommodate this floor of office buildings.
Moreover, with the terrifying profits of Xianzi's products, the funds in hand will naturally be indispensable by then. At that time, you can consider building your own headquarters building instead of relying on leasing office buildings.
This is why Ji Xueqing only plans to sign a two-year contract and is not planning to sign a longer term.
Manager Fang weighed it in his mind and said: "If you sign for two years, I can directly give Mr. Ji a preferential price, with a daily rent of 8 yuan per square meter!"
"8?" Ji Xueqing frowned slightly. This price... For a one-story office building with more than 1,100 square meters, the rent is just over 10,000 yuan a day, which works out to more than 3 million yuan a year.
Although for today's Xianzi, more than three million yuan a year in rent is nothing, Ji Xueqing still feels that the price is a bit expensive.
So he said: "Manager Fang, your price is a bit expensive. Do you think it can be lowered a little?"
"Mr. Ji, this price is really not expensive. I believe you should also know that there are almost no office buildings around here that are less than 10 yuan. If it weren't for Mr. Ji that you directly rent an entire floor area, it would be difficult for me to give the price." The price is less than 10 yuan…”
Ji Xueqing nodded slightly when she heard this, without commenting.
In fact, what Manager Fang said was a bit exaggerated. Ji Xueqing herself had learned in advance that the rent for office buildings around Fucheng Road was basically between 9 and 10 yuan. Only a few of them cost more than 10 yuan.
"Well, I'd better go back and think about this first. Can I contact you, Manager Fang, then?" Ji Xueqing said.
"Okay! Mr. Ji, I still say the same thing. The price of 8 is already very cheap. Even if you go to other office buildings, you will be hard-pressed to find one more suitable than ours..."
Manager Fang continued talking while sending Ji Xueqing and Yin Xiu downstairs.
From beginning to end, Yin Xiu didn't interrupt. After waiting until he left the Botian Building, Yin Xiucai said to Ji Xueqing: "The bottom line in his heart should be around 2."
"Yes. I estimate it is about this number. However, let it cool down first. It will be easier to talk about then." Ji Xueqing said.
Don’t look at it as just a price difference of 6 yuan, but you must know that this is a difference in rent per square meter per day. Calculated, the difference in rent for an entire floor of an office building is more than 200,000 yuan a year.
More than two hundred thousand cannot be considered a small amount. What's more, Ji Xueqing's contract lasted for two years once it was signed. That's a price difference of about half a million.
The bottom-line price that Yin Xiu mentioned was naturally what he had just used his mind-reading skills while Manager Fang was negotiating the price with Ji Xueqing.
"Okay, let's go back first. Let it wait for a day or two and then contact him. If we can negotiate a price of around 2 or 3, it will be acceptable."
Ji Xueqing said.
The two walked to the parking lot in front of Botian Building, preparing to drive back.
At this moment, three men in black suits suddenly got out of a black car parked nearby. The three people walked directly in front of Yin Xiu and Ji Xueqing and blocked their way.
Ji Xueqing was slightly startled and took a step back subconsciously. "What do you want to do?"
Yin Xiu looked at the three people and stood in front of Ji Xueqing.
The three people looked at Yin Xiu and Ji Xueqing. The leader asked directly: "Are you here to rent office space in this building?"
The tone was not so polite, and felt a bit cold.
"So what? Who are you? Please get out of the way immediately and don't block our way." Ji Xueqing calmed down when she saw Yin Xiu standing in front of her.
With Yin Xiu here, even if these people really have any evil intentions, they certainly can't do anything to them.
"I just want to advise you, it's best not to rent this office building. Otherwise, you will regret it when the time comes." The leading man said coldly.
Um
What's the meaning! Is there something fishy about this office building
Ji Xueqing was slightly startled.
He frowned and said, "What do you mean by this? Can you explain it more clearly? Why can't I rent this office building?"
But the other party obviously had no intention of explaining, and said stiffly: "You don't need to know why. I'm just reminding you, otherwise if something happens by then, it will be useless for you to regret it!"
Finished. The man said to the two people behind him: "Let's go!"
Ji Xueqing was puzzled as she watched the three people go back to the black car where they got off.
After seeing that the other party had already gotten into the car, Ji Xueqing couldn't help but said to Yin Xiu: "Yin Xiu, what do you mean by this?"
"I'm not so sure either."
Yin Xiu also shook his head. He had used mind-reading skills just now. But these three people were obviously just running errands, and they didn't know anything at all.
Those words just now were also instigated by others.
And these people have always been here. As soon as they see someone entering the Platinum Building and coming out, they will come up to ask about the problem and warn the person not to rent the office building in the Platinum Tower.
"Forget it, let's go back first." Ji Xueqing said.
"Um."
Yin Xiu responded and walked over with Ji Xueqing to drive. Prepare to return to the company... (To be continued...)
