LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 20 Renting An Office Space
Cecico Building, 16th floor.
"Boss Li, look at the traffic here. It's close to Pengda University and you can recruit a lot of Pengda interns for just two thousand dollars a month."
Li Yu was a little embarrassed to hear this evaluation of Peng University students with a beer belly in front of him.
"How much is the annual rent for this floor?"
"This is 3,600 square meters. If you rent it out as a whole, it will cost seven yuan per square meter."
Li Yu knew that the other party was talking about the daily rent, so that would be 25,000 per day, which would be nearly 9 million per year.
Don't be scared by this number. You must know that this is in the center of Pengcheng City, and no company will rent such a large office space.
According to Li Yu's understanding, these office buildings will be cut into dozens or hundreds of compartments, which are rented to different companies.
Some companies only need 40 square meters, which is only over 100,000 yuan per year, which is not too much.
But Li Yu is different. He plans to divide this floor into three and put the live broadcast company, storage company and legal department here.
"Wow, that's nearly 10 million a year!"
Chen Ting, who was following him, took out her cell phone to do some calculations and sighed in surprise.
"Okay, I'll let you find an office location that you won't be able to find at the end of the day, while you rest."
Li Yu would not spoil Chen Ting and said angrily.
However, he felt that the rent was indeed a bit high, so he immediately started to lower the price.
"Manager Yang, I rent the whole floor, so the price is wrong, right?"
Yang Jin didn't think that the price would be successful, but he saw that Li Yu and Chen Ting were really young, so he directly set the highest price.
"Boss Li, I believe you should also know that our building has convenient transportation and supporting facilities around it, and I won't talk about Pengda, a cheap intern.
Just tell me, are there any buildings around here that are as big as ours? In other buildings, one floor is basically 2,000 square meters at most. "
Li Yu shook his head and smiled: "Manager Yang, I might as well tell you that even if I rent this floor, I will have to separate three independent areas.
I am planning to house three companies here. In fact, I have a better option, which is to find those small buildings and directly rent the third floor. I believe the experience will be better than what you have here.
As for Pengda's cheap interns, to be honest, except for the possibility that its live broadcast company could poach a few school beauties.
The other two companies do not have this demand. Based on the above complaints, Manager Yang, do you think these are still advantages for me? "
Li Yu said all this because he knew that the market situation has been bad in the past two years, and these office buildings have been facing lease cancellations.
Now that someone can come to rent such a large area, there is no way the other party will miss it. He believes that it will not be a problem if the price drops by two yuan.
Yang Jin didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so difficult to deal with. Recently, the pressure on their department's performance has been extremely high.
Now it's not easy for someone to want it, but he doesn't dare to say anything too harsh.
"I don't know, how much per square meter does Boss Li think is appropriate?"
"Four dollars!"
After the sword was struck, Yang Jin felt his heart hurt, and he quickly said:
"Ouch! Boss Li, stop joking. You were able to say those words just now. I believe you must know the normal price. We both know it's impossible for four yuan, right?"
Next, after a heated discussion between the two, it seemed to Chen Ting that Li Yu and Yang Jin were about to fight.
In the end, as Li Yu expected, he won the contract at five yuan per square meter, and the contract was only for one year.
He believed that within a year, he would definitely be able to take over the entire commercial plaza in Yitian.
When the time comes, he plans to move there directly.
Yang Jin was very happy to hear that he would only sign for one year.
He guessed that the current special situation will last for a few years at most, and the environment will definitely improve after a while, and the rent will definitely increase back then. If the contract is signed for too long, it will not be a loss.
Since the cooperation was discussed, when the other party was preparing the contract, Li Yu shook Zhu Qi over to handle the leasing contract.
"Lawyer Zhu, how is the work handover going? My office is ready."
Downstairs in the Saixico Building, Li Yu stopped Zhu Qi and asked.
When Chen Ting heard this, she was immediately very curious and quickly turned her ears toward the two of them to hear what was going on.
Zhu Qi said quickly: "The handover of work is already underway. I can resign from the original company in five days at most."
Li Yu was relieved to learn that Zhu Qi was already handing over the final work.
It was just dinner time, and Li Yu directly invited Zhu Qi to have dinner together, preparing to discuss the next details of the company's legal affairs.
Li Yu said this because he happened to be free, so Zhu Qi naturally would not refuse.
It just so happened that the Guangdong Community was not far from here, so Li Yu directly asked Chen Ting to go home by herself.
When Chen Ting saw that Li Yu actually left her behind and took Zhu Qi, who she thought was an old woman, to finish the meal, she immediately felt that Li Yu's head had been broken.
Li Yu didn't know what Chen Ting was thinking. If he knew, he would at least talk to her about it.
At a glance, Zhu Qi felt that she was no older than thirty-five years old, and her temperament was very elegant.
Of course, Li Yu had no other thoughts about her. She simply felt that with the help of this professional property lawyer, she could at least avoid many legal traps.
After Chen Ting left angrily, Li Yu and Zhu Qi went to a nearby Western restaurant to sit down and eat.
"Lawyer Zhu likes to do yoga?"
After wiping his mouth, Li Yu saw that the atmosphere was a bit cold and found a topic to talk about.
In the past few days, he had seen Zhu Qi posting several photos of doing yoga in Canada on his WeChat Moments, including several videos.
Li Yu didn't expect that Zhu Qi, who was now wearing professional attire, would have such a good figure when she changed into yoga clothes.
If people who don’t know her just look at the photos and say she is thirty years old, some people will believe her.
Zhu Qi didn't expect that Li Yu's first sentence would be this, and she suddenly felt very embarrassed.
"I gave birth to a daughter before, and I learned it while my body was recovering. Over the years, I have become accustomed to the schedule."
Hearing that Zhu Qi actually had a daughter, Li Yu suddenly became interested and said:
"Ah? I didn't expect that Ms. Zhu already has a daughter. Your daughter won't be hungry if she can't wait for you at home, right?"
"Pfft." As if she heard some joke, Zhu Qi covered her mouth and couldn't help but laugh: "She is just a senior in high school and is living in the dormitory!"
"Ah? You're a senior in high school?" Li Yu said with a surprised look on his face: "Lawyer Zhu, are you kidding? You are so young and you don't look like you have a daughter who is in the senior year of high school."
Zhu Qi was immediately laughed from ear to ear by Li Yu. She had not been so happy since her husband passed away.
For nearly ten years, it wasn't that no one wanted to get close to him, but she knew their intentions without even opening her eyes.
When you get along with those people, you will feel very wary and can't talk to them at all.
Probably because Li Yu is about the same age as her own daughter, she doesn't have much defense against him.
