"Yes, as our business becomes more and more extensive, the number of positions at the headquarters is also increasing. At present, our Sujia Group headquarters building does not have enough space for offices. Now we can only move the offices of many subsidiaries The office has been moved out, leaving more space for the headquarters. As you know, Chivalry Media Company has moved to the Peter Building opposite, and other subsidiaries have also rented other offices for their own offices. , now only the headquarters of a few subsidiaries have not moved out of the Su Group Building." Yang Chaoye nodded.
Originally, Yang Chaoye also hoped to change a building to serve as the headquarters, but later he learned that Su City planned the Tseung Kwan O area as the headquarters area, so he stopped mentioning this matter.
For Yang Chaoye, the fact that the Su Group headquarters building is not enough is not a problem.
If it doesn’t work, just buy another building.
Now that the Su Group is so powerful and wealthy, Oracle Computer Co., Ltd. has even purchased a building from him for Oracle Corporation to use as the company's headquarters.
After all, with the current strength of Oracle Computer Co., Ltd., it would be inappropriate to place its headquarters in an industrial park.
Nowadays, Oracle Computer Company has the ability to sell billions of Hong Kong dollars in annual sales and is the most profitable subsidiary of the Su Group.
With their capabilities, it is not difficult to buy a building in Central.
If you buy a building in a remote location, such as North Point, Crucian Carp Bay or even the Kowloon Peninsula, you can buy a building with more than ten or twenty floors for tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
Central is definitely much more expensive. A building with more than ten floors will cost at least HKD 300-400 million. The price depends on the geographical location, building age, construction area and other comprehensive conditions to calculate the price.
Oracle Computer Company can still afford three to four billion Hong Kong dollars. Of course, such a big deal would definitely require the approval of the boss in Sioux City.
For the time being, renting out offices will not put any pressure on the major subsidiaries of the Su Group. Since the opening of the Oracle brand experience store, these subsidiaries have also benefited. Basically, every The income has increased significantly and the profits are also considerable.
"This is why I came to find you. I am going to build a building for you to work in. By then, there will be enough space not only for the employees of the Su Group headquarters, but also for the office areas of the subsidiaries. !" Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Oh? Where is it?" Yang Chaoye asked curiously.
"Federal Building, do you know?" Su Cheng said.
"I know, of course I know. It's only a few hundred meters away from us. I also know that it used to be the tallest building in Hong Kong. As far as I know, it should be a property of Federal Real Estate, a subsidiary of Wheelock Group. Boss, can you tell me from this Did they take the Federal Building into their hands?" Yang Chaoye was a little surprised.
The Federal Building is 31 stories tall. Although it is no longer considered the top tallest building in Hong Kong, because it was the tallest building in the past, it is more famous than many taller buildings.
“Well, Wheelock has put it up for sale now, and the price is quite reasonable. I plan to buy it. Then it can be renamed the Su Group Building, and part of it will be used for the Su Group. The group will use it as an office and the rest will be rented out, but I will buy the building in the name of Tianqi Property Company," Su Cheng said.
Su City plans to put all the properties to be purchased under the name of Tianqi Property Company.
Because if you hold these properties individually in Sioux City, you will pay higher taxes.
If you rent out the property as a company, the taxes and fees will be much lower. Anyway, these are all companies that are 100% controlled by Su City. There is not much difference between corporate ownership and personal ownership for Su City.
“That’s really good news. The land of Federal Building is actually better than ours, and it can be seen clearly from Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. If it is on top It’s also a good advertising spot to put our Su Group’s brand on it,” Yang Chaoye said with a smile.
Nowadays, as the number of high-rise buildings in Central, Wan Chai and other places continues to increase, buildings over 100 meters high have continued to appear throughout the 1970s. Among the high-rise buildings in Hong Kong, the Federal Building has already fallen out of the top ten. location, but its reputation is still better than that of many built buildings.
“When the time comes, you will see how many floors are needed for office use. I will let Tianqi Property Company deliver it to you. The entire building will be handed over to Tianqi Property Company for management. This newly established building will be managed by Tianqi Property Company. You should also know about Tianqi Property, right? Now I am buying a large number of properties. In the future, my Su City-owned companies will no longer need to rent other companies' places to work," Su City said.
"Okay, I will cooperate." Yang Chaoye nodded.
Anyway, the company doesn’t need to pay rent. It’s all Su City’s property, and these points are the same for everyone.
"In addition, I will requisition the Su Group Building for other uses." Su Cheng continued.
"Oh? Boss, what do you plan to do here?" Yang Chaoye asked curiously.
He thought that after moving there, the Su Group Building would continue to be used by the Su Group.
"I'm going to use it to exchange a property with Land Group." Su Cheng said with a smile.
"That's it." Yang Chaoye nodded. He did not continue to ask because there was no need.
After he finished speaking, he walked to the window of the office and looked out. In Central, where there were many high-rise buildings, he quickly found the federal building.
"Boss, is it that building?" Yang Chaoye pointed at the Federal Building and asked with a smile.
The distance of five to six hundred meters is not very far, so we can see clearly.
"Yes, that's that building. I'm going to find a time to talk to Wheelock Group and get it taken down as soon as possible so that you can move there and work there." Su Cheng also looked over there. Said with a smile.
“With the strength of So Group in Hong Kong, it is also ranked among the top ten. It is time to change the office location. Although So Group Building is located in Central, it seems silent in the surrounding environment with many buildings. Wuming, this is not worthy of the strength of the Su Group, and the company has to advertise it widely, which is why the advertising thing was born," Yang Chaoye said with emotion.
The Su Group is not a listed company. Otherwise, with the worldwide fame of its subsidiary Oracle Computer Co., Ltd., the market value of the Su Group would have exceeded HK$5 billion, not to mention There are also other subsidiaries and Oracle Brand Experience Store, a super money-attracting enterprise jointly established by Su Group and Hutchison Whampoa Group.
So, it is not an exaggeration at all to say that Su Group ranks among the top ten in Hong Kong. (End of this chapter)
