Jinshi, the provincial capital.
After seeing off the twenty-five groups of people and goods early in the morning, Hu Yuan took Wang Lun and Wang Jing to the most bustling street in Jin City.
For Wang Lun and Wang Jing, the bustling streets of Jin City were like paradise, because they had never been to such a place before.
The two of them were like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden, looking around and finding it very lively.
Hu Yuan wasn't curious at all. After all, in his previous life, he had spent all his time in a much more prosperous metropolis, so he didn't feel anything special.
In 1990, even in Jinshi, the provincial capital, houses were allocated by work units or were located in large urban villages.
Migrant workers searched for places to stay and rented rooms in various corners of the country, and rent was still very cheap at that time.
Even in relatively bustling urban areas, the rent for a private house is only thirty or forty yuan.
Moreover, buildings at this time were generally not very tall, and most of the high-rise buildings were concentrated on the financial street that Hu Yuan had visited last time.
The area around the financial street is lined with straight main roads, which, in the era of economic underdevelopment, could already be considered a landmark of Jiangnan Province.
The place Hu Yuan and his group came from was the pedestrian street south of the financial street.
The pedestrian street is very spacious, with tall plane trees on both sides of the road. In late summer, the plane trees emit a unique fragrance.
The leaves of the tall London plane trees are very dense, and the leaves on both sides shade each other, thus blocking the scorching summer sun from the pedestrian street.
"Brother-in-law, there are so many people here..."
Wang Jing tugged at Hu Yuan's sleeve, looking very nervous.
Seeing Wang Jing's expression, Hu Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "You're a grown man, is it really necessary to act like this?"
"Brother-in-law, this place is wonderful. I really hope I can stay here forever."
Wang Lun's expression was completely different from Wang Jing's. He looked around at the buildings with unusual excitement, wishing he could stay there and not go anywhere else.
Hu Yuan smiled and said, "We came here this time intending to stay."
"Stay here? Really?!"
Wang Lun looked at Hu Yuan with a look of surprise and excitement.
Hu Yuan nodded. "Of course it's true. We came here to rent the venue."
"Rent a venue? Brother-in-law, what are we renting a venue for?" Wang Jing was puzzled.
"Of course, it's for registering a company."
"Register a company!"
Wang Lun and Wang Jing both stared wide-eyed.
The three of them went directly to the Jinshi Hualun Building, a tall building on the pedestrian street.
The Hualun Building was built by the real estate company under the Hualun Group and is a well-known building in the entire province.
At this time, all the staff working in the Hualun Building had already gone home, but there were still people on duty at the front desk.
Hu Yuan led the two to the service desk and explained his purpose.
The front desk staff did not look down on Wang Lun and his companions because of their attire; on the contrary, they were very welcoming to Hu Yuan.
"You said you're here to rent office space in this building?" the receptionist asked.
"That's right, I'm planning to rent a space of about 300 to 400 square meters. Do you have any available here?"
The waiter thought for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment, I need to contact the manager and have him talk to you."
A short while later, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a suit and tie, came to the front desk.
"Hello! Are you the ones who are planning to rent this venue?" The middle-aged man smiled and shook hands with Hu Yuan.
"Hello, we're planning to rent this space. Are you the property manager here?"
"That's right! I'm the property manager here, my name is Han Weimin. What's your name?"
"Hu Yuan".
Hu Yuan nodded and then explained his meaning.
After hearing Hu Yuan's words, Han Weimin laughed.
"Mr. Hu, you've come at a very opportune time. There is indeed a company here, but they just moved out a few days ago. However, the space is a bit small, only about 280 square meters. What do you think?"
"Manager Han, please take us to see it!" After thinking for a moment, Hu Yuan nodded.
The place Han Weimin mentioned was on the eleventh floor, and the group quickly arrived there.
Although the original company has moved out of the premises, they cannot take their previous renovations with them.
Looking at the impressive business blue color, Hu Yuan nodded to himself.
"Big brother, this place is amazing!"
Looking at the impressive decor, Wang Jing tugged at Wang Lun and whispered something to him.
Wang Lun was so shocked by the scene that he couldn't speak, and could only nod numbly.
"By the way, Mr. Hu, which company do you work for?" Han Weimin asked Hu Yuan curiously.
"We don't..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jing was just about to tell the truth.
Hu Yuan beat him to it and glared fiercely at Wang Jing.
"We are a cleaning and chemical company."
"A cleaning and chemical company?" Han Weimin was taken aback.
"It seems you're not from our province. Our province's cleaning and chemical company is in the Ganfeng Building across the street, so it shouldn't be you, right?"
"The provincial chemical company is across the street?" Hu Yuan was also taken aback.
Han Weimin nodded. "Back then, the provincial chemical company wanted to set up shop in our Hualun, but there wasn't enough space available here, so they went to the area across the street. But the reputation and property management there are nowhere near as good as ours! You know, our Hualun is a symbol of prestige..."
Hu Yuan didn't hear what Han Weimin said next.
Because at that moment he was thinking about what Han Weimin had just said.
The provincial washing and chemical company is right across the street; they'll be a formidable opponent for him!
"Are you an out-of-province office of a cleaning and chemical company?"
Thinking of Hu Yuan's request for a small space, Han Weimin asked another question.
Hu Yuan didn't want to waste words with the other party, so he could only nod perfunctorily.
"I knew you were an overseas branch office! You've chosen our Hualun Building, that's the best choice for you. You know, Hualun's reputation in Jin City is beyond question!"
"Your choice of Hualun is both impressive and classy, and our location is very convenient, being close to the train and bus stations!"
"And our property management company provides excellent service! Although the annual property management fee might be a little higher than other places, it's definitely worth it. We can even offer you some discounts on water and electricity..."
Han Weimin talked on and on, and since Hu Yuan knew they would still have contact in the future, he didn't interrupt him.
Moreover, Hu Yuan was very satisfied with the environment here.
It's worth noting that although the venue is a bit small, the layout is quite good.
From the window, you can see the bustling scene outside, the great river, and the surrounding mountains in the distance.
Pushing open the window, a gentle river breeze blew in, making Hu Yuan feel incredibly comfortable.
"This is it!" Hu Yuan waved his hand and said to Han Weimin.
