Chapter 373: Unexpected Trouble
It's hard to find such a house that meets the requirements, at least there is no suitable residential area where Garrett 2000 is located now, but this is not a problem, and housing agents everywhere in the United States eat this bowl of rice.
In order to ensure that this house can meet the requirements of his group of technical nerds, Chen Geng even personally took Chiwetel Ejiofor to the real estate agency, but in the face of Chen Geng's request, all the agents shook their heads almost without exception, saying that there was no such house at all.
Can't find it?
Chen Geng didn't believe in this evil, and finally, after not knowing whether it was the tenth or eighth time he was rejected, Boss Chen was furious, took out a stack of dollars from his bag, didn't count them, and took a selfie on the table of the real estate agent in front of him: "Just help me find a house that meets my requirements, this is your tip." β
Looking at the thick banknote in front of him, which must have more than 1,000 or maybe more than 2,000 US dollars, the little heart of the real estate agent named Ryan in front of him beat wildly, and he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva: as long as it can be done, this tip will be worth two months' salary!
What to do?
Refusal?
Say "I'm sorry"?
Facts have proved that in the face of this wealth that can be obtained as long as you work hard, people's IQ can definitely be rapidly improved in a short period of time, just like in front of him, in the face of such a generous tip, Ryan quickly turned his brain, and then ......
"This honorable gentleman," Ryan's expression was sincere, and even made Chen Geng wonder if this guy in front of him was disguised by his old friend for many years: "First of all, I said, this request of yours, not to mention in the Stanford Industrial Park, even in the entire West Coast, I'm afraid that no real estate agent can meet it."
I just want to mention two things and you know how difficult it is: a company with hundreds of people working at the same time, well, a computer company, we don't talk about electricity, water supply, heating and heating, we just talk about parking, a company with hundreds of people has hundreds of cars, which requires a large parking lot, and the second is the safety concern of the community residents, the law says that if a company with more than 20 employees wants to open a company in a residential community, it must obtain the residents' committee of the community and more than 60% If you have a company with hundreds of people, and given your business dealings, there may be a lot of outsiders every day, which is a big insecurity factor for the safety of the community from a security standpoint......"
Without waiting for Ryan to finish speaking, Chen Geng knew why he couldn't find a suitable residential community.
In the United States, it is not too much of a problem to register a residential residence as a business address, in most states in the United States, as long as your company is not a production, Companies that produce large noise and pollution can register their residential homes as their company locations, which is why there are so many garage companies in the United States, and even one address is no problem to register as the location of multiple companies, such as in Cheyenne, Wyoming, a house with an area of about 118 square meters at 1270 Toms Avenue has registered more than 2,000 companies.
You ask how such a one-story ordinary house with an attic can register so many companies? Well, the house is full of mailboxes from the floor to the roof, and each mailbox has the number of the company's "suite" pasted on it...... A mailbox is a room, for example, the registered address of a company is Room 513, 5th Floor, 1270 Toms Avenue, Cheyenne, Wyoming, but there is actually no "Room 513 on the 5th floor", only the 13th mailbox in the fifth row from the bottom to the top.
In San Francisco, especially in Silicon Valley, the local government even encourages young people working in the computer industry to do so.
But there is a trouble that must be solved when the residential housing is registered as the company's address: if the number of people in the company is relatively small, it is not a problem, but if the number of people in the company is relatively large, for safety reasons, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the community owners' committee and the majority of residents, and Garrett 2000 If it develops to the scale of hundreds of people, not to mention the parking problem, a single safety issue can be rejected by the owners' committee without hesitation, just like Lane said, a company employing hundreds of people, there will inevitably be many people in and out every day, in this case, how to ensure that the safety and interests of community residents are not violatedοΌ
In the consideration that more is better than less, whether it is the owners' committee of the community or the community situation, nine times out of ten it is a "NO!" thing...... Garrett 2000 hasn't been kicked out of the neighborhood because they employ fewer than 20 people.
Knowing what the problem was, things were easy to do, Chen Geng nodded: "OK, Lane, since you didn't say no to me, you have other suggestions, right?"
"Yes, I do have a suggestion for you to consider," Lane breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the rich boss was willing to listen to his own suggestion, and said: "I roughly summarized your requirements for the new company's office location, the main requirements are that the environment should be good, the greening should be good, and it should not feel like people going to prison like those office buildings, of course, other hardware, such as water supply, power supply, heating, communication and other hardware conditions must also keep up, right?"
Chen Geng nodded: "That's right." β
"At first, I was going to recommend you some mansions, with swimming pools, basketball courts, several bathrooms, and rooms for shoes that are larger than apartments, but after careful consideration, I think this kind of mansion is good, but it is not particularly suitable for your needs...... At the very least, this kind of luxury property may not be able to park hundreds of cars, and it will not meet your requirements to further expand your company in the future. β
"That's right. β
Sure enough, money has an obvious effect on intelligence improvement, Chen Geng is more and more satisfied with Ryan's performance, and it is not that no real estate agent has introduced this kind of big mansion to him before, but after thinking about it again, Chen Geng still did not choose to do this, the reason, one is because the rent is too expensive, on the other hand, it is what Ryan said, the space is limited, and it cannot meet the company's requirements for expanding the scale next, otherwise Chen Geng really doesn't mind buying a mansion.
"Are you interested in a sanatorium by the sea?"
"Nursing home?" Chen Geng frowned.
"It's not a nursing home, it's a high-end recuperation center for the rich, the kind for rich people like you, living in it, the monthly expenses are at least tens of thousands of dollars, and the maximum gay can only receive 50 customers with recuperation needs, there are indoor and outdoor basketball courts, large indoor heated swimming pools and outdoor swimming pools, SPA centers, massage centers, spas, restaurants...... There's even a dedicated helipad, in short, you can find anything you can think of for the rich here," Ryan's tone sounded very, very envious: "Of course, if you need to, you can convert it into a company." β
An upscale wellness center by the sea for the wealthy?
It sounds very good, Silicon Valley is originally in the south of San Francisco Bay, and it is not unusual for a high-end recuperation center for the wealthy to be located by the sea, and when he heard that there was such a place, Chiwetel Ejiofor was moved: although I don't know what the situation of this recuperation center is, since it is built for the recuperation of the rich, it has always been absolutely fine in terms of hardware and software conditions.
Chiwetel Ejiofor is not worried about anything else, but about the price: whether you buy or rent it, the price of such a health center is not cheap, right?
Chen Geng was also very satisfied, but what interested Chen Geng was the information revealed by Ryan: "You mean that the owner of this recuperation center can no longer operate?"
It can be seen that the owner of the retreat center is definitely ambitious, but since Ryan Ken introduced himself to the retreat center, it at least says one thing: the financial situation of the retreat center is rather bad.
"Yes," Ryan nodded, although he had never dealt with the big rich before, but he had been rolling in the real estate industry all these years, he had never eaten pork and seen pigs walking, knowing that for these rich people, the price issue is important, but the most unbearable thing for them is the deception of the intermediary to them, for ordinary people, it is not a problem to hide a small flaw that is not so important, but for these rich people, any small flaw must be introduced in place:" The business of this safness center is not as good as it was first envisioned, you know, it is very difficult to convince the rich and rich of the power of a safer center that has not been well known before, and Mr. Milhouse clearly underestimated the difficulty of all this. β
"So this Mr. Millhouse is now in a hurry to get this recuperation center out there?"
"Yes," Ryan nodded, "but there's a small problem......"
"Huh?"
"Sir, it's the price," finally said to the most critical point, Ryan almost held his breath, and said cautiously: "Because this recuperation center covers a relatively large area, the construction volume is relatively large, and the overall project cost is relatively high, so Mr. Milhouse's offer is ...... Well, in fact, Milhouse started selling this retreat center half a year ago, but because of the price, it has not been able to find a suitable buyer. β
Chen Geng nodded, but did not answer immediately.
If this kind of project for the wealthy is not approved by the target group after the project is completed, it will be very troublesome to use it for other purposes: the amount of work is too large.
In the United States, where the labor cost is huge, buying such a place and then renovating it is basically equivalent to spending twice as much labor, in this case, for the rich people with this financial resources, it is better to buy a vacant land from scratch by themselves, at least the labor cost will be much lower.
But for me, that's a different story. Chen Geng thought for a while and said, "Let's take a look first." β
