Chapter 408 Renting a Building
Wang Meiyi was not surprised that Wang Yuanchao was planning to start his own company. After all, he was not planning to start a company, and he would not come to the Chinese Bank to rent an office building.
I am just surprised by Wang Yuanchao's transition. After all, running a company is not playing house. Which good company would be planning to relocate before even starting operations? It is really strange.
"Mr. Wang, could you please tell me what your company is going to do?"
Wang Yuanchao grinned and said:
"Of course, I plan to buy a piece of land and build my own storage center and two industrial buildings to rent out at a higher value. After my own industrial building is built, I will move the company to my own building."
Wang Meiyi took a deep breath. You have to know that in this era, Chinese businessmen had not yet risen, and the whole of Hong Kong was dominated by British companies.
There are only a handful of top wealthy people in the Chinese community.
Although there are already many wealthy Chinese people who have acquired land in Hong Kong to develop real estate,
Those people got the land, built houses and sold them to make money. It was a serious business with high profits. Moreover, there were only a few real estate businessmen in Hong Kong at that time who could afford to invest too much money in development. Other real estate businessmen relied on bank loans to develop the properties and then paid back the banks after the houses were sold. This is why the financial crisis in Hong Kong has not ended even though it is already the third year.
The financial crisis caused by this wave of stock market crash has caused financing difficulties for countless companies in Hong Kong, and countless stock speculators have lost their fortunes and suffered heavy losses. The once prosperous real estate market has suddenly cooled down, causing most real estate companies in Hong Kong to run out of funds, and the property market and land prices have completely collapsed.
It was during this financial crisis that Li Huanggua bought up land at bargain prices, which allowed him to become a rising star in the real estate sector and become one of the richest Chinese in Hong Kong.
Although Wang Yuanchao's current financial strength is not as strong as Li Huanggua's, he will definitely get involved in the land buying spree amid the Hong Kong economic crisis.
After Wang Meiyi and Wang Yuanchao walked into the elevator, they pressed the button for the 16th floor and said:
"I never knew Mr. Wang was so powerful. He is truly a hero at a young age."
Wang Yuanchao naturally ignored Wang Meiyi's temptation, and said jokingly: "All roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome, and I am one of those people who was born in Rome.
Besides, I have limited abilities and no great ambitions, so I might as well buy a piece of land and build a house to rent out. It would be nice to be a rent collector for the rest of my life."
Wang Meiyi was so excited by Wang Yuanchao's fresh and refined pretense that her eyes turned red.
Yes, some people were born in Rome, damn, why can't it be me?
This is so infuriating. Wang Meiyi was so unhappy that she just shut up and had no desire to speak. This was really discouraging.
After arriving at the 16th floor of the Chinese Bank, Wang Yuanchao frowned as he looked at the cracked wall. He followed Wang Meiyi to the office building. Wang Yuanchao looked at the office, which had been simply decorated by the previous company. The cement floor was very clean and the walls were painted white. There were three private offices in the small office building. Wang Yuanchao looked at the boss's office, which was not small, probably about 20 square meters. If the entire office building was well decorated, it would basically not need to be decorated. After buying office supplies, you can start working directly. So Wang Yuanchao asked Wang Meiyi: "Sister Meiyi, I will definitely use a lot of telephones when I open a company. Is it convenient to handle telephone business in the office building?"
Wang Meiyi had recovered from the shock just now, and said with a smile: "It's convenient, of course, you can go to the Hong Kong Telephone Company to handle the business.
They will arrange for someone to come directly here to install it.”
Wang Yuanchao thought for a moment and continued to ask, "How do we rent this office building?"
“15 dollars per square foot per month.”
Wang Yuanchao quickly calculated in his mind that 15 yuan per square foot was equivalent to 161 yuan per square. The monthly rent for this office building alone was as high as 39,600 yuan, not including other operating costs such as water and electricity.
Wang Yuanchao sighed in his heart. The office cost in Central, Hong Kong is really too high these days.
No wonder most Chinese companies don't dare to open companies here.
No wonder in the future in Hong Kong, the end of everything is real estate and rent collection.
Such office costs are simply not affordable for ordinary small and medium-sized companies.
But Wang Yuanchao, who had just arrived, had no choice but to open a company here.
Otherwise, if you are alone and start a company somewhere else, you will be harassed by the dwarfs every day and collect protection fees, which will annoy you to death.
Only after you have established a firm foothold in Hong Kong can you move out of Central and start your business in other parts of Hong Kong.
So Wang Yuanchao nodded and said:
"Sister Meiyi, you know my company is a start-up, so the lower the initial operating costs, the better. Do you think the rent can be more favorable?"
After Wang Meiyi lingered on Wang Yuanchao's face for a moment, she thought for a moment and said:
"Mr. Wang, we are destined to be together. You sincerely want to rent, and I sincerely want to be friends with you. If it were in the past, I would have considerable authority and could help you apply for a bigger discount.
But now that HSBC has taken over, the rent management requirements are very strict, and the rent price is directly fixed. I can give you the minimum rent of 13 yuan per square foot stipulated by HSBC, which is the lowest price. "
Wang Yuanchao looked at Wang Meiyi's expression and felt that she did not seem to be lying, so he nodded and agreed:
"Okay, I'll rent this office building. Thank you very much for your help, Sister Meiyi.
After we finish the rental formalities, please do me a favor and treat me to a simple meal, what do you think?"
Wang Meiyi was really moved when she heard Wang Yuanchao's invitation, but after hesitating for a while, she sighed and said:
"Mr. Wang, your invitation really makes me excited.
But there is really no way. The Chinese Bank is now managed by foreigners. They are very disgusted with our Chinese employees' welcoming and seeing off practices and strictly prohibit them. Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, I can only reject your kindness. "
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"It's okay, if it's not convenient for Meiyi, then forget it. After my company opens, we will have frequent dealings.
I will come back to thank Sister Meiyi when the time comes, as long as it doesn’t affect your work.”
"Okay, let's get together more often and communicate more in the future. We don't mind this short period of time."
