Office Buildings and Bank Calls

Xiao Bei quickly parked the car and got out.

He walked up to Salesman Zhang Ge.

"Hello, Xiao Bei!"

"Hello, President Xiao, I'm Zhang Ming. So, President Xiao, shall we go see the venue now?"

After shaking hands, Zhang Ming asked with a smile.

"Okay, you lead the way!"

Xiao Bei said calmly. He was no longer the witty and humorous person he was at school, but wore a placid expression, revealing no emotion.

Zhang Ming nodded and then led Xiao Bei into the Europe and America Financial Plaza.

"President Xiao, the Europe and America Financial Plaza is a Grade A building in Future Sci-Tech City, and also one of its landmarks."

"The companies located here all have excellent development prospects and strong capabilities. Oh, right, President Xiao, what industry are you in?"

Zhang Ming didn't look down on Xiao Bei because of his youth.

The main reason was that Hangzhou was a hub for entrepreneurship, and he had seen too many young tycoons. Secondly, he had checked the car Xiao Bei had just arrived in.

It cost over 3.5 million yuan landed, especially the license plate.

This kind of license plate was not something ordinary people could get. Of course, he didn't know that some luxury car dealerships had related license plate sales services.

This was a matter of perspective and understanding.

Why did the rich get richer? Besides money, it was also about their mindset.

An ordinary person's mindset was definitely not as high as a boss's. Take a simple example.

Tax avoidance in running a company. Why do many bosses not act as chairmen but prefer to be supervisors? Or why would a company with over 100 million yuan in assets establish another company with a registered capital of a few hundred thousand yuan to control the former?

The reason was that if the company with over 100 million yuan went bankrupt, they would only be responsible for the debts of the controlling company, which were only a few hundred thousand yuan.

Of course, the premise was that you managed to avoid unlimited joint liability!

"I'm in financial venture capital!"

Xiao Bei said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ming became even more excited. In their eyes, venture capital firms were all capital companies.

What did capital companies have the most of?

It was money, of course. People truly made you sick with envy.

He was already a capitalist at such a young age, while he was still an ordinary wage earner.

"President Xiao is truly accomplished at such a young age. Venture capital is great. There are also startup companies in this office building. Perhaps President Xiao can cooperate with them in the future!"

Zhang Ming said with a smile, and soon they arrived at the elevator entrance. Zhang Ming proactively reached out and pressed the elevator button.

When the elevator arrived, Zhang Ming also proactively extended a hand to block the elevator for Xiao Bei, allowing him to enter first.

"President Xiao, shall we go to the 16th floor now?"

Zhang Ming said to Xiao Bei.

"Sure."

Then the two arrived at the 16th floor. Xiao Bei had great foresight and directly requested the entire floor, which was 2000 square meters.

Arriving at the 16th floor, Xiao Bei took a look. It was completely bare, just a raw shell.

Xiao Bei wanted exactly this. He preferred to decorate it himself rather than have it pre-decorated.

He looked around, especially at some of the load-bearing columns, the erected pillars, and the lighting. Xiao Bei was not very satisfied.

Afterward, the two went directly to the 18th floor. It was the same situation: either the lighting was poor, or there were too many pillars in the room.

"Brother Zhang, for the remaining 22nd and 30th floors, which one has fewer pillars?"

After looking at the 18th floor, Xiao Bei asked Zhang Ming directly.

"President Xiao, based on your requirements just now, I think only the 30th floor would suit you!"

"Oh?"

"Let's go to the 30th floor now, and you'll know when we get there!"

Zhang Ming smiled slightly. In fact, he was very nervous, fearing that Xiao Bei wouldn't like it and he would lose this major client.

Soon, the two arrived at the 30th floor.

As soon as Xiao Bei stepped onto the floor, he felt a difference.

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

After seeing the office space on this floor, Xiao Bei went to look at the two terraces and was very satisfied.

"How much is this unit?"

"Mr. Xiao, for this unit, the original price is 6 yuan per square meter plus 2 yuan per square meter for property management. However, if you are sincere about taking it, we can offer it at 5 yuan per square meter."

"Including property management, that's 7 yuan per square meter."

Zhang Ming stood behind Xiao Bei, holding the documents, and spoke as he read.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bei nodded subtly and immediately said, "Let's go with this one. Let's sign the contract!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Ming didn't react immediately, then quickly said, "Mr. Xiao, it's like this, this unit is a bit special. The landlord requires payment annually, not semi-annually. What do you think?"

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

Actually, for Xiao Bei, this wasn't a big problem. He just liked it.

Zhang Ming's heart immediately became excited. This big deal was secured. He quickly said, "Then, Mr. Xiao, please follow me to the 12th floor to sign the contract!"

"Okay."

Afterward, Xiao Bei and Zhang Ming arrived at the property management center on the 12th floor. They successfully signed the contract, paying a deposit plus twelve months' rent. The total cost for Xiao Bei was 5.46 million.

Just as Xiao Bei finished paying, the System's voice chimed in.

[Ding! Detected host consumption behavior. Consumption: 5.46 million. Actual consumption: 5.04 million. 420,000 was a deposit and does not count as consumption.]

[Ding! Randomly drawing rebate multiplier!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully drawing a 50x rebate multiplier.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining rebate funds: [Amount Missing], which has been transferred to the host's card ending in 7878!]

Xiao Bei truly hadn't expected his luck to be this good. One large purchase had directly earned him 246,960,000 yuan.

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

He felt incredibly pleased.

After collecting the relevant contract paperwork and keys, Xiao Bei left the Europe and America Financial Plaza.

Now that he had some time, Xiao Bei planned to find a design company to present his renovation ideas.

Just then, Xiao Bei's phone rang.

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

Xiao Bei smiled slightly. Finally, they couldn't wait any longer and decided to call?

Actually, Xiao Bei had always been curious. He had 450 million in his account before, but he hadn't received any calls from the bank.

What Xiao Bei didn't know was that the bank had recently been investigating the source of his funds. Today, they finally had the results, confirming everything was normal, which is why they called him.

"Hello, hello."

"May I speak with Mr. Xiao Bei?" a deep, aged male voice came from the other end of the line.

"This is he? Who is this?"

"Hello, Mr. Xiao. I apologize for disturbing you. I am Fu Guochun, the president of Ningcheng Construction Bank. Your deposits have reached our bank's black card member standard. Are you available now? You can come to our bank to upgrade your bank card privileges."
