Chapter 35: The price of being helpless
“Mr. Xu, let me ask who is in charge of renting out the factory?”
Zhou Weiqing volunteered.
Xu Liang did not stop his subordinates from dedicating themselves to the company.
“Go and come back quickly.”
After Zhou Weiqing nodded, he walked quickly towards the office building.
After visiting several offices in a row, I finally found the right owner.
Looking at the group of people walking down from the second floor, Xu Liang hurried up to greet them.
The leader is a middle-aged man wearing a black down jacket and gold-rimmed glasses who looks gentle.
"Mr. Xu, this is Wu Shaohua, Mr. Wu, the deputy general manager of Seven Star Group."
"Mr. Wu, this is our new dream Mr. Xu."
Xu Liang took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Mr. Wu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I have long admired Mr. Xu and your new dream."
Wu Shaohua was unexpectedly enthusiastic.
"It sounds like Mr. Wu knows our new dream from his tone?"
"My sister's son is now in your new dream studio."
Xu Liang suddenly realized and smiled: "Then let's follow Mr. Wu is a family member.”
“Haha, you’re right.
This is not the place to talk. Let’s go to the reception room.”
"Mr. Wu, please go first."
Xu Liang is very aware that his current status is far inferior to that of the vice president of a large state-owned unit.
The reason why I was able to come down to greet myself was probably because my nephew was in Xin Meng.
In this era, it was also popular to respect teachers and respect morality.
So be polite.
Entered the office.
After Wu Shaohua asked his secretary to serve tea, he asked with a smile.
“I just heard Secretary Zhou say that Mr. Xu wants to rent a factory in our factory to run a school?”
After Xu Liang nodded, “Our new dream students are growing very fast. There will be more than 1,000 students in one month, and the existing teaching space is already very tight. Moreover, Wangjing Commercial Building is located in a downtown area with lots of traffic and noise, which affects students' study and rest, so we plan to change the location.
Just as a friend of mine said that after the integration of our Seven Star Huadian Group, some of the sites were left idle
Considering that the factory area is large and the surrounding area is quiet, it meets our requirements.
I just wanted to come over and ask if I could rent part of it to us? "
Wu Shaohua nodded, "How much area does Mr. Xu plan to have? ”
“At least fifteen thousand square meters. "
"So big? ”
Wu Shaohua was a little surprised.
Xu Liang nodded affirmatively.
Now the number of students in New Dream Studio has reached 300, although the growth rate has slowed down. However, he predicts that there will be no problem reaching 1,000 people before the end of the year.
Now New Dream has a standard class of 40 students, which requires a teaching area of 80 square meters.
An intensive class of 10 people requires a teaching area of 40 square meters.
After spending several times more money, the teaching conditions will of course be much better.
Now the number of New Dream standard classes and intensive classes is basically one to one.
Calculate it this way.
One thousand people require 20 standard classes, 1,800 square meters; 20 intensive classes, 800 square meters.
And, as expected, there will be dance, vocal music, acting, and traditional Chinese painting in the second half of the year.
Including the teacher's office area, auditorium, and canteen, the total area is almost 5,000 square meters.
In addition, Xu Liang also plans to upgrade the dormitory area.
We must avoid situations where dozens of people are crammed into a room.
Changed into eight-person and four-person rooms.
They are all about fifty square meters. If calculated based on 2,000 people, it would be 10,000 square meters.
“Mr. Xu is really young and promising, and New Dream Studio is developing at an amazing speed, which is admirable.” Wu Shaohua said.
With a teaching area of 15,000 square meters, many middle schools are not that big.
What's more, it's especially amazing that the other party has achieved such great results at such a young age.
"Mr. Wu, you are very polite. Compared with seniors like you, I am still far behind in business management. I will need more advice in the future." Xu Liang said politely.
Wu Shaohua smiled, and the evaluation of the young man in front of him went up to another level.
He has seen many young and promising young people, many of whom are more successful than Xu Liang.
But they are all majestic and domineering. They feel that the world is huge and few can compare with them.
But after the initial success, he soon suffered a blow against the iron wall of society.
Most of them sink, and a very few can stand up again after learning their lessons.
"Mr. Xu is too humble. Come on, I will take you to see the factory."
"Excuse me, Mr. Wu."
The two of them took their secretaries and walked around the factory. .
Huge factory buildings bearing traces of industry from the last century, like old giants, extend backwards in an orderly manner.
Xu Liang pointed to a stretch of factory buildings and asked, "Mr. Wu, how much is the rent for this factory building?"
"Sixty-five cents per square meter, but we are not responsible for the decoration."
When Xu Liang heard this, he was amazed at how cheap it was.
“Can you go in and have a look?”
Wu Shaohua nodded, “Xiao Liu, open the door.”
The secretary who was following behind hurriedly stepped forward. Use the bunch of keys you brought to open the heavy door.
Stepping in, because there was only one window open, the light instantly dimmed a lot.
It has been deserted for a long time, and the temperature is particularly cold.
Some industrial waste is scattered on the dusty ground.
“The factory has just moved and we haven’t had time to clean it yet.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Xu Liang looked at the factory building in front of him. It was at least two hundred meters long, fifty meters wide, and more than eight meters high.
After watching for a moment, Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.
Actually, there is no need for him to rent 15,000 square meters. Adding a floor in the middle of such a large factory does not seem crowded at all. This means that he only needs to rent 7,500 square meters, and the rent is reduced by half out of thin air.
After calculating this, the factory building in front of us is more than enough.
But he didn't make a decision in a hurry.
After walking around the factory area, I rented a similar room. It was probably located at the lower right corner of today's District 798A, Audio Road.
Of course, renting does not mean that it will be available immediately.
Cleaning, installing partitions, modifying circuits and water supply, repainting, etc. Such a large amount of work will take at least half a year.
After signing the contract and paying one year's rent.
“Mr. Wu, is your factory here for sale?”
"Mr. Xu wants to buy it?"
Wu Shaohua asked with a smile.
“We have this plan.”
798 Art District is famous all over the world, and it is very consistent with New Dream’s business.
So he plans to move the headquarters of New Dream here.
"Three thousand and one square meters, Mr. Xu can do the calculation by himself. Moreover, we do not accept the sale of separate factories, otherwise it will be difficult to coordinate in the future."
Wu Shaohua pointed out, "If Mr. Xu takes this road to Buy the whole thing in the west and we can have a formal discussion."
Looking at the large factory building in the west, Xu Liang looked helpless.
The area designated by Wu Shaohua will be Area A of the future 798 Art Zone, covering an area of at least 70,000 to 80,000 square meters.
The price of three thousand and one square meters, I want to buy it for at least two hundred million.
Now the combined value of Hanhua and New Dream is not much more than a fraction of this land.
