Top of the big era

Finally, there is an opportunity to ask the officials to help, and Zhou Buqi will definitely not miss it.

"Leaders, you have also seen that Xiaonei.com is currently operating in the Beike campus. Of course, the school has given us great support, but group buying is a business after all. There are many businessmen in contact with the school. The school is not a vanity fair."

Director Kong raised his eyebrows, "You want to move out?"

"Xiaonei.com...or it should be Ziweixing Technology Company, which is getting bigger and bigger. Recently, more than 30 people have been recruited. In addition, our R\u0026D teams in Beike, Beili and Renmin University of China, as well as There is a small team in Zhongguancun, with a total of nearly a hundred people."

Having said that, Zhou Buqi paused.

It is impossible to leave the campus, and he still wants to rely on the relevant departments of the education department to find policy support.

But it won't work if you don't move.

The University Student Activity Center is too small, and it is the center of the Beike campus, so there are too many people coming and going. It is very inconvenient to work here, do research and development, and meet customers.

The solution is simple.

Here is the Wudaokou University District, backed by Zhongguancun, and there are many university science and technology industrial parks.

The most famous of these is the Tsinghua Science and Technology Park.

The real estate company Weixin Group of the Hong Kong government and Tsinghua University jointly established Weixin Huaqing Real Estate. The first project developed is the Grade A office building Weixin International Building, which has been completed this year.

This is a major event in education.

In the area of ​​the Fourth Ring Road, in the core area of ​​the domestic IT industry, a top-level office building will be built in the golden corner of Zhongguancun. When the project was established, it once attracted the attention of the highest level. Domestic real estate developers do not even have the strength to take over such a large project, so they can only find cooperation with listed companies from the Hong Kong government.

When the project is completed, not to mention the Tsinghua Science and Technology Park, it can even be called a landmark building in the entire Zhongguancun and Wudaokou!

Once it was completed, it was spotted by the domestic Internet giant Sohu.

Then, Boss Zhang made the most wise decision since he founded Sohu. He spent 2 billion to buy the building and renamed it Sohu Internet Building.

Later, Sohu gradually became lonely, and some joked that Sohu's market value was not as valuable as one of its office buildings.

That's the building.

Director Kong's complexion changed slightly, and he said in surprise, "Are you going to move to Weixin International?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I have this idea. It is located in Tsinghua Science and Technology Park, backed by universities, and located in Zhongguancun, which can deeply promote technology research and development. The reason why San Francisco can have Silicon Valley is because it is next to Stanford."

Director Kong frowned and said, "It's all market-oriented over there. Even Tsinghua University's own company has to pay to move in..."

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Zhou Buqi quickly laughed and said, "Of course, I will pay the rent!"

"Um?"

Director Kong laughed immediately and shook his head again and again, "Xiao Zhou, you... are still young after all. The rent there is not cheap, every inch of land is expensive."

Zhou Buqi smiled brighter: "I know, it's all been reported. As soon as the Weixin International Building was completed, Sohu became the first big customer and rented a 6-story office building in one go. I heard that Sohu still In negotiations, want to buy the property rights of the entire building and change its name to Sohu Building?"

It's not a secret, Sohu is a listed company, and it's all made public.

So much so that in private, everyone has already renamed that building Sohu Building.

This is something that all parties are happy to see.

Sohu is a landmark enterprise of the domestic Internet, with a big enough reputation and a strong enough attraction. Zhongguancun and Tsinghua Science and Technology Park, of course, like to use "Sohu" to name the building instead of Weixin International, which is a nondescript name.

For the sake of city appearance and planning, the capital also hopes that this kind of landmark building can have Huaxia's own characteristics.

Tsinghua University is the major shareholder again...

So this deal, as long as Sohu can afford the money, there is no problem.

Director Kong laughed, pointed at Zhou Buqi and said, "You boy, you are dishonest! The newspapers are saying that you are selling mobile phones at a loss, and you still want to rent an office building over there? It seems that you have made a lot of money!"

Zhou Buqi said without blushing, "Director Kong, you have wronged me. The main benefit of Xiaonei is the advertising fee."

"hehe."

Director Kong didn't point it out, and said very easily: "If Xiaonei can afford the money, then it's easy to handle. There are 12 floors in Weixin International Building, and Sohu rented 6 floors... Looking back, I and the comrades at Tsinghua University Tell me, go and pick one."

"Wait a moment……"

Zhou Buqi interrupted him, and stretched out two fingers embarrassingly.

Director Kong laughed and said, "Two rooms? Ambitious? Okay, let's just have two rooms, and the price won't be too high. The price per square meter should be at the same level as Sohu's."

As an official of the Department of Higher Education, he still has this bit of power and contacts.

It stands to reason that helping Xiaonei to find office buildings has nothing to do with group buying activities. But that's how human relations are, the exchange of interests.

Xiaonei.com is a private enterprise. How to engage in group buying and where to sell things are all their own business. In a market economy, no one can intervene.

If relevant departments want Xiaonei to develop and customize strategies according to their own requirements, they must provide funds and policies, and help those who need help.

Director Kong is the person in charge of the University Enterprise Management Committee under the Higher Education Department, and this is his job.

"Not two rooms, but two floors."

Zhou Buqi still stretched out two fingers, smiling peacefully.

"What... what?"

All the people present were shocked and lost their voices.

In Weixin International Building, rent two floors? What a joke!

Each floor covers an area of ​​2600 square meters.

According to the planning of the building property, 18 office rooms are planned for each floor of the office building, and each single room is a company! There are also two large public meeting rooms and multiple public spaces.

A giant company as big as Sohu only rented 6 floors.

There are only two or three kittens on the Xiaonei network, so rent two floors?

Both are too much!

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Director Kong, if I only want to rent one or two office rooms, I don't need to bother you. It's because I want two floors and I'm worried about conflicting with their industrial planning, so I want you to help me coordinate. .Of course, there is no problem with the rent! As you said just now, just set the price according to Sohu’s contract standards.”

Director Kong was a little frightened, feeling that he had really underestimated the college student in front of him, his tone was much gentler than before, without the aura of a leader, instead he was like an earnestly teaching elder, and said softly: "Xiao Zhou, a two-story office building... Do you know how much the annual rent is?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Weixin International Building has just been completed, and we haven't announced the recruitment yet. However, I know the rent price of Yingu Building. The annual rent for a two-story office building is around 30 million. Weixin Building is in a poor location. A little bit, the area is also small, it should be around 20 million.”

Director Kong was speechless for a while.

20000000!

How can you say it so easily?

Director Xiao, who was narrating the narration, couldn't listen anymore, and couldn't help but said: "Xiao Zhou, 20 million a year rent... Can Xiaonei pay it? You have just started your career now, so you still have to be down-to-earth. Working in a high-end office building is certainly prestigious. Don’t affect the capital chain. Loans for Internet companies are very troublesome, and you have to maintain a good cash flow.”

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, the 20 million rent can still be paid for by Xiaonei. Moreover, these two floors of office buildings are not all prepared for Xiaonei. I have other industries under my control. The four companies will all move there, such as Shengshi Bicycle. Leaders, think about it, when the shared bicycle is completed, it will become a sensation in the world, and maybe foreigners will come to study and visit. There must be a dignified office space, Only in order not to lose the dignity of the motherland, right?"

All right!

Several leaders rolled their eyes.

You kid can really go online!

But it's not unreasonable.

In the eyes of the leaders, shared bicycles are a public welfare project, and it is impossible to make money. It is completely an image project. Since it is an image project, of course it must be packaged from head to toe.

When this was discussed in the department, a consensus had already been formed.

Director Kong pondered for a long time, then sighed, "Xiao Zhou, let me ask you again, do you really want to rent a two-story office building?"

"yes!"

"Then I will contact Tsinghua University, and I will leave you a call later. If you change your mind, remember to contact me as soon as possible. Weixin Building is not only owned by Tsinghua University, but also has a relationship with the company of the Hong Kong government. Our side is easy to coordinate, but Hong Kong people are not easy to deal with."

Zhou Buqi said firmly: "Leader, please rest assured, I will not make things difficult for you."

Director Kong jotted down a few more notes in his notebook, unable to hide the shock in his heart, and said without raising his head, "Go on, what else do you want?"

The most important thing has been solved, Zhou Buqi smiled, got up and took out a letter from the desk, and handed it over.

Director Kong took a look and couldn't help but sneered: "China Mobile Phone Industry Association? Don't worry about it. As long as this kind of association is a legal citizen, anyone can register with the industry and commerce."

Zhou Buqi said softly: "I'm not afraid of this association... In the near future, Xiaonei will only sell 4,000 mobile phones, and they won't be able to get on the stage. But Director Kong, as long as we reach a consensus with the post office and solve the express delivery problem, then we can There is no quantity limit. Our inventory is 750,000 mobile phones, plus the unlimited supply of Bird, it may really cause a big change in the price of the mobile phone industry.”

Director Kong glanced at him, "Is your procedure all right? What about the contract with Bird and Kejian?"

"No problem."

"That's fine."

Director Kong paused for a moment, and then changed his words: "The price of the mobile phone should not be too low, it should be higher than the cost price, so as not to be criticized as vicious competition. There is no need to worry too much about other aspects. Now it is a market economy, as long as it is legal No one can control you. Improving the living and learning environment of college students is a national policy, and the Price Bureau must obey it.”

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, "Leader, I'm just a college student. It's best for the department to send me an explanation. I don't have the confidence."

Director Kong almost died of anger.

Isn't your kid quite capable?

Isn't it very courageous?

You can eat two floors of Weixin International Building in one go!

Still afraid of protests from several mobile phone manufacturers?

"Remember, follow the national policy and operate legally, the motherland is your biggest backing!"

Director Kong looked firm and his tone was decisive.
