"The Ice Crystal Palace?" Su Ran exclaimed upon hearing the reward. Aunt Zhao, who was packing things up nearby, chimed in, "Does Miss also know about the Ice Crystal Palace?"
Su Ran nodded, and Aunt Zhao's voice rang out again, "This Ice Crystal Palace is amazing! It's a landmark building in Shanghai, standing at 623 meters tall with 115 floors. It's the second tallest building after the Tower."
"Nobody knows which powerful family acquired this building. According to Shanghai news, the building was under construction for six years ago and was only completed today."
"Moreover, the exterior design is extremely beautiful. At night, it looks like a giant crystal standing in the center of the city. It is also a famous internet celebrity photo spot. But no one knows what the inside is like."
"Probably only the designer and the owner of the Ice Crystal Palace know about this. I wonder if this building will be rented out later. Isn't Bufan looking for an office space recently?"
While eating, Su Ran listened to Aunt Zhao's introduction. She stopped eating when Su Bufan was mentioned. "Aunt Zhao, please contact Bufan and ask him to come over later."
Aunt Zhao nodded, "Yes, Miss."
When Su Bufan arrived, Su Ran was working on her bandages in the living room on the first floor. She only told him to wait in the waiting room on the first floor after she saw him arrive.
"Miss, is there anything you need me to do?" Su Bufan asked as he stood up when Su Ran entered.
"Sit down." Su Bufan nodded, and Su Ran continued, "Have you come up with any ideas about the company's location?"
Su Bufan nodded and took out some papers from his briefcase. "Miss, there are currently three locations to choose from. One is to lease a floor in the central building, which has six floors available for rent."
"Although the location is excellent, I think six floors are too few if the business is to expand. Also, there is a piece of land that the government will develop in the surrounding area according to market observations."
“Buying land and building on it yourself is a good option, but it takes too long, so I don’t recommend it. However, it can be used for future development, and you’ll definitely make a profit in the future.”
Su Ran nodded upon hearing this, "And the last one?"
Su Bufan paused for a moment, "The last one is the one I think is the most advantageous option: leasing the Ice Crystal Palace. The Ice Crystal Palace is located in the center of Dongpu City, with a large flow of people and complete surrounding facilities."
"Furthermore, the Ice Crystal Palace was recently completed. As far as I know, the owner of the Ice Crystal Palace has not yet rented it out. Now many people are eyeing this coveted property, so we can choose to locate it here."
Su Ran nodded after listening, "You can arrange the land matter we just discussed. If you see a good one, you can acquire it. As for the Ice Crystal Palace, which floor do you like?"
"Huh?" Su Bufan was stunned for a moment when he heard Su Ran's words, but he immediately reacted. "It would be better if we could rent more floors. If it weren't for the fact that many people were eyeing this place, I would like to take over the whole building."
Su Ran nodded. Originally, she hadn't planned to rent out the Ice Crystal Palace, but then she thought that over a hundred floors might be too big. But after hearing Su Bufan's words...
It's not big at all.
"You can arrange the opening of the Ice Crystal Palace. That building is mine. Since it's not for rent, you need to plan the use of each floor."
Su Bufan looked at Su Ran in shock, "Boss is awesome!"
Su Ran nodded. "If you need money, contact me. You can take care of things at the company. If you need more people, just contact me."
“One more thing.” Su Ran tapped the table lightly with her fingertip, “I’ll be managing more companies and businesses in the future, so you need to be prepared.”
Su Bufan nodded, thinking to himself that even if there were many, it shouldn't be too many to handle.
The future Su Bufan really wanted to go back to this moment and slap himself twice.
After discussing some other matters, it was already noon.
Su Ran only has three classes this week; the rest of the time will be spent writing her thesis.
Upon exiting the room, Aunt Zhao said to the person, "Miss, since you and Bufan were busy with things, lunch was made in the style of your hometown, Sichuan cuisine."
Su Ran smiled and nodded, then invited the others in the house, "Let's eat together."
Su Ran was driving on the main road. She hadn't planned to go out, but Su Bufan had to go to the company to handle some business, so she had to go there herself to sign the land contract.
Upon arriving at the agreed location, Su Ran pushed open the door and went inside, only to see someone who looked very familiar.
Under the shocked gazes of the two men, Su Ran slowly sat down. Across from her, a well-dressed professional asked curiously, "Hello, Miss, my name is Chen Ping." Chen Ping glanced at the man beside him, "Miss Su, do you know them?"
The two people were the original landlord couple whom she hadn't seen for two days. Su Ran looked at the contract again, this time more carefully than before. She didn't expect that the land she had chosen today included the house of this couple who collected rent.
Because of their poor location and the fact that they have not received any indication from the government that they intend to requisition the land in recent years, they cannot sell it for a high price in the short term.
What about couples who only own a house but not the land?
The man smiled and said, "It would be better if you knew each other, as this couple is unwilling to sell."
Su Ran remained calm, taking a sip of the tea on the table. "By the way, as far as I know, it seems they only rent the land, not sell it. So I should be working with you, not with the people who rent the land from them to build houses."
The man's smile froze for a moment. Bringing people along was simply a favor from the other party; ultimately, the power lay with them.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Su, but the people in that area are quite poor. If the building is demolished, where will they live?"
Su Ran's smile vanished completely upon hearing the man's words. She placed the tea on the table and said, "Sir, I am a businesswoman who values profit. If you are unwilling to sell, then I will not buy. That way, I will not break them up."
Upon hearing this, the man broke out in a cold sweat. Su Ran was indifferent to this piece of land; she had come to sign a contract but hadn't expected this to happen.
The landlords were also pale-faced. They had no idea that Su Ran, who had disappeared for two days, was sitting across from them, talking about buying the land in their neighborhood.
As if struck by a sudden thought, the landlady stood up and knelt before Su Ran, tears streaming down her face, pleading, "Xiao Ran, I beg you, please don't buy this land! If it's demolished, where will all of us live?"
The woman's husband also looked sad, "Yes, Su girl, you've lived there for several years, you know what it's like there. Shanghai is a place where every inch of land is precious. If it's demolished, where will they be able to afford to rent a place?"
Su Ran watched the two of them exchanging barbs with amusement, "So what do you think I should do?"
The landlady immediately responded, "Buy it for more money!" Seemingly realizing her voice sounded a bit urgent, the landlady's voice turned worried, "Xiao Ran, you know the situation over there. What will happen to the people living there if it's demolished!"
Su Ran glanced at the couple, then turned her gaze to Chen Ping, who was smiling but silent. She realized that he was trying to raise the price.
