Office Building and Bank Call

Xiao Bei quickly parked the car, then got out.

He walked over to Zhang Ming, the salesperson.

"Hello, Xiao Bei!"

"Hello, President Xiao. Zhang Ming. President Xiao, shall we go take a look at the space now?"

After shaking hands, Zhang Ming smiled and asked.

"Sure, lead the way."

Xiao Bei replied blandly. He no longer had the wit and humor he showed at school; his face was calm, revealing no expression.

At that, Zhang Ming led Xiao Bei into Europe and America Financial Plaza.

"President Xiao, Europe and America Financial Plaza is a Grade A office building in Future Science and Technology City, and it's also one of the landmark buildings."

"The companies based here all have strong prospects and considerable strength. Oh, right, President Xiao, what industry are you in?"

Zhang Ming did not look down on Xiao Bei because of his youth.

Hangzhou was known as the capital of entrepreneurship, and he had seen far too many young big shots. Besides, he had looked up Xiao Bei's car just now.

It had cost more than 3.5 million yuan on the road, especially Xiao Bei's license plate.

Ordinary people could not get a license plate like that. Of course, he did not know that some luxury car dealerships offered license plate sales services.

That was the difference in one's horizons and understanding.

Why did the rich get richer? Aside from money, it was also because of their knowledge.

An ordinary person's understanding was certainly not as deep as a boss's. Take a simple example.

Companies could legally reduce taxes. Why did many bosses not serve as chairman, instead preferring to be supervisors? Or why would a company worth over a hundred million establish another company with only a few hundred thousand in registered capital to hold its shares?

The reason was that if the company worth over a hundred million went bankrupt, they would only need to bear the debts of the holding company, which amounted to just a few hundred thousand.

Of course, there was one prerequisite: you had to ensure you did not incur unlimited joint liability!

"I'm in financial venture capital."

Xiao Bei answered calmly.

Upon hearing that, Zhang Ming grew even more excited. In their eyes, anyone in venture capital was a capital company.

What did capital companies have the most of?

Naturally, money. Comparing people really could make one furious.

This guy had already become capital at such a young age, while he was still an ordinary wage earner.

"President Xiao, you really are young and accomplished. Venture capital is great. There are startup companies in this office building too. Perhaps you might even cooperate with them in the future!"

Zhang Ming said with a smile. They soon arrived at the elevator, and Zhang Ming proactively reached out to press the button.

When the elevator arrived, Zhang Ming also held the door open for Xiao Bei, letting him enter first.

"President Xiao, shall we head to the sixteenth floor now?"

Zhang Ming asked Xiao Bei.

"Sure."

The two then arrived on the sixteenth floor. Xiao Bei was quite bold, directly asking for an entire floor—two thousand square meters.

Once on the sixteenth floor, Xiao Bei looked around. There was no decoration at all; it was merely an unfinished shell.

That was exactly what Xiao Bei wanted. Compared with a fully decorated space, he preferred to decorate it himself.

After looking around, especially at several load-bearing pillars, some other standing columns, and the lighting, Xiao Bei was not very satisfied.

The two then went straight to the eighteenth floor. It was the same story: either the lighting was poor, or there were too many pillars in the rooms.

"Brother Zhang, between the remaining twenty-second and thirtieth floors, which has fewer pillars?"

After finishing their inspection of the eighteenth floor, Xiao Bei asked directly.

"President Xiao, based on the requirements you mentioned, I think only the thirtieth floor suits you!"

"Oh?"

"Let's go to the thirtieth floor now. You'll understand once we get there!"

Zhang Ming smiled faintly, though he was actually quite nervous inside. He was afraid Xiao Bei would not like it, causing him to lose this major client.

Soon, the two arrived on the thirtieth floor.

The moment he stepped onto the floor, Xiao Bei immediately felt the difference.

First, all four sides had floor-to-ceiling windows, providing excellent natural light. Second, there were very few pillars. Most importantly, there were two large terraces!

After seeing this office floor, Xiao Bei went to inspect both terraces and was very satisfied.

"How much is this one?"

"Mr. Xiao, the original price for this unit is six yuan per square meter, plus two yuan per square meter for property management. But if you're seriously interested, it can be reduced to five yuan per square meter."

"With property management included, that comes to seven yuan per square meter."

Standing behind Xiao Bei, Zhang Ming read from the documents in his hands as he spoke.

Xiao Bei nodded imperceptibly, then said, "This one, then. Let's sign the contract!"

"Huh?"

For a moment, Zhang Ming did not react. Then he hurriedly said, "President Xiao, it's like this: this unit is a little special. The landlord requires payment one year at a time, not every six months. Is that acceptable?"

Xiao Bei thought for a moment, then nodded. "That's fine."

To Xiao Bei, it was not a major issue. The main thing was that he liked the place.

Zhang Ming was instantly thrilled inside. He had landed this huge order, so he quickly said, "Then, President Xiao, please come with me to the property management center on the twelfth floor to sign the contract!"

"Alright."

Afterward, Xiao Bei and Zhang Ming went to the property management center on the twelfth floor and smoothly signed the contract. With one month's deposit and twelve months' rent paid upfront, Xiao Bei spent a total of 5.46 million yuan.

Just after Xiao Bei finished paying, the system's voice rang out.

Ding! Detected that the host has made a purchase. Amount spent: 5.46 million yuan. Actual consumption: 5.04 million yuan. Of this amount, 420,000 yuan is a deposit and does not count as consumption.

Ding! Randomly selecting rebate multiplier!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have successfully drawn a 50x rebate multiplier.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have successfully received rebate funds: yuan. The funds have been deposited into the card ending in 7878!

Xiao Bei truly had not expected his luck to be so good. One major purchase had directly netted him 246,960,000 yuan.

Xiao Bei's funds had now reached nearly 700 million yuan.

He was instantly delighted.

After taking the relevant contracts, documents, and keys, Xiao Bei left Europe and America Financial Plaza.

Since he still had time, Xiao Bei planned to find a design company and present his renovation plans.

Just then, Xiao Bei's phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Construction Bank.

Xiao Bei smiled faintly. They finally could not hold back any longer and called?

Actually, Xiao Bei had always wondered why he had not received a call from the bank after his account had previously held 450 million yuan.

What Xiao Bei did not know was that the bank had recently been investigating the source of his funds. Only today had they gotten the results—everything was normal—so they called him.

"Hello."

"May I ask if this is President Xiao Bei?" An old-fashioned male voice came from the other end of the line.

"This is Xiao Bei. And you are?"

"Hello, President Xiao. Sorry to disturb you. I'm Fu Guochun, the president of Construction Bank in Ningcheng. Your deposits have reached the standard for our bank's Black Gold membership. Do you have time now? You can come to our branch to upgrade your bank card privileges."
