"Did you buy a house?"
Yin Suya asked curiously.
Most of her knowledge about Xia Yu's assets came from the media. She also knew that Xia Yu had a lot of nice cars, but she didn't know how many properties he owned.
"To be precise, it's an office building. Xia's catering space is running out, so I want to take this opportunity to move all the companies under one roof."
"It's not big enough. Okay, now I remember, you've taken up two floors with your car. How can it be enough?"
Xia Yu had taken Yin Suya to the office building in Xintiandi, so she knew the situation there. She could only say that this guy was a spendthrift.
"This time it's better. I've taken over the remaining two floors as well. I've found a better place for the company."
"Where?"
"World Financial Center!"
After breakfast and dressing up carefully, the two drove to the Global Hotel a few kilometers away.
Many people initially thought that this building, which resembles a bottle opener, looked like two Japanese swords protecting the sun on the Rising Sun flag. Coincidentally, the investor is also a Japanese company, which makes it even more difficult to explain.
However, the building's design company is a magnesium company. The designer William Pedersen once worked for Pei and studied under Mr. I.M. Pei, so he has a certain understanding of Chinese culture.
He designed the top of the building into an open circular hole, the concept of which was inspired by the moon gate element in ancient Chinese architecture.
This statement is understandable, but since the investor is a Chinese company, it is easy for the flavor to get mixed up. In the end, he changed the round hole into the current inverted trapezoid, turning it into the famous bottle opener.
You know what, it’s much more pleasing to the eye.
Now, with the recession of Japan's economy, many well-known Japanese companies are having a hard time. The most famous one is Sony selling its building. Mori Building is also selling off the World Financial Center floor by floor. Perhaps it won't be long before the entire building will be owned by Chinese companies.
The system also helped Xia Yu and directly took one-tenth of the share.
“It’s so high!”
Looking up from below, Yin Suya couldn't help but sigh.
When she heard Xia Yu say in the morning that he had taken the bottle opener to the 10th floor, she was completely shocked.
“It’s not as high as the Magic City Center, but it has a larger usable area and a better view.”
Xia Yu glanced between the two skyscrapers and made his assessment.
The design of the Shanghai Center will be better looking, but the Global Center will be more practical. As for the Jinmao Tower, which is not even as tall as the Oriental Pearl Tower, Xia Yu has directly ignored it.
"Let's go in!"
Xia Yu took Yin Suya into the building. Xiao Wang had already completed the contact, so they all got temporary door cards.
There is a security door at the entrance, and he also found a big golden retriever next to it. It is a professionally trained bomb-sniffing dog, which shows the high security level of the entire building.
After all, it is one of the landmarks of Shanghai and forms part of the city's skyline, so it's better to be strict.
After passing the security gate, they went directly to the high-speed elevator. There were many tourists queuing in front of the sightseeing elevator.
The weather is nice today and many people come to overlook the scenery of Shanghai.
Including the Oriental Pearl Tower, the three skyscrapers have high-rise observation halls. Xia Yu and his friends went to the office floor, and the elevator ride was different.
When they got on the elevator, there were only three of them. As the elevator door closed, Xiao Wang began to explain the specific situation to Xia Yu.
"Mr. Xia, floors 7-77 are office areas, and floors 79-93 are the Park Hyatt Hotel."
"So the 78th floor is the refuge floor, right?"
Xia Yu asked.
Skyscrapers with a height of more than 100 meters must reserve a refuge floor during construction for fire evacuation.
"Yes, there are 66 floors left. The floors 67-77 you purchased are right between the two refuge floors."
They say that if you buy things in a package, they must be connected. It’s better to build one yourself than to have them scattered on different floors!
As for acquiring the entire Global Center, it is possible but not necessary.
Xia Yu is not a professional real estate businessman, and his company does not need so many floors. Although he can rent them out, he is not a landlord after all. Technology is his most ideal industry.
"So what's the situation on these 10 floors now?"
Xia Yu continued to ask, and at this time the elevator door opened and they arrived at the 67th floor.
"Well, floors 75, 76, and 77 are currently vacant. Of the remaining seven floors, three are fully rented, and the fourth floor is rented out between 60% and 80%."
Xiao Wang arrived at the Global Center an hour in advance and already had a preliminary understanding of the situation.
"Among these tenants, the longest contract is until July 2022, while the shortest contract ends at the end of this year."
"It's fine if three floors are empty. I only need two. I'll rent out the 75th floor, move Xia's Catering to the 77th floor, and Xia's Pictures and Xia's Capital to the 76th floor."
Xia Yu thought for a while and made the decision.
Since there is a vacant floor due to expired lease, it would be a good opportunity to renovate it and move several companies in. Then the Xintiandi office building would become his secret base. It makes him happy just thinking about it.
"Yes, President Xia."
Watching Xia Yu directing the business and planning the company's future, Yin Suya felt that he was very impressive.
Is this how he usually works? Much more serious than when he is alone with her. She still likes Xia Yu like this.
Xia Yu couldn't hear Yin Suya's call. Work is for better enjoyment of life. He spends much less time working seriously than playing.
"Then Mr. Xia, Mr. Yin, what should I do?"
"Go ahead, let's just wander around these floors."
Let Xiao Wang go and do his work, and the two of them were left alone.
"I didn't expect that our senior sister would also become President Yin."
