355. Rockefeller Center
Lawyer Davis looked at the extended Lincoln in front of him in a daze, feeling that he was afraid of repositioning Mr. Guo's strength.
Full-time secretary, full-time bodyguard, full-time driver...... In addition, there is a man and a woman, looking at a venue, do you need so many people to accompany you?
Guo Yongkun's extended version of the Lincoln is more than enough for seven people, and it is not modified inside, otherwise a small bar can be made.
Uncle Tom, the driver, who was wearing a straight black outfit but still couldn't cover the tattoo on his neck, opened the car door for everyone with no makeup, and made a gesture of please.
As a former well-known race car driver, he doesn't seem to be ashamed of it and enjoys his job.
"Oh, dear Leah, you have a little more maturity in your sensuality in this business attire, but what a charming little baby, I will be twenty years younger and will definitely pursue you. ”
"Uncle Tom, you're looking good in a suit. Leah winked at him.
"yes, I didn't even think I'd ever be able to wear a suit again in my life. Thank you Mr. Guo for giving me this well-paid job, and of course, more importantly, allowing me to drive such a beautiful baby. ”
As he spoke, he reached out and stroked the black paint, as if it were the delicate skin that surpassed all women.
Guo Yongkun smiled and waved his hand, and while getting into the car, he signaled that he could go.
"Mr. Guo, are you going to the Empire State Building, or Rockefeller Center?"
"Rockefeller Center. ”
What's that...... Lawyer Davis was directly confused, went to Rockefeller Center to see the venue?
What is Rockefeller Center?
It is the second downtown of New York after Wall Street, and one of the symbolic buildings of the United States. The rental costs there are not cheap.
Drive the hotel to Rockefeller Center?
These Chinese must be too daring to think and be too bold!
After the car started, Davis couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart, "Mr. Guo, do you want to drive the hotel to Rockefeller Center?"
"Hotel?" Guo Yongkun was puzzled: "When did I say that I wanted to open a hotel?"
At this time, Leah next to her smiled: "This lawyer should have a preconceived idea." Because one-third of the shops in Chinatown are in the food business, and Chinese food has a large audience in the United States, in the eyes of many uninformed people, it seems that Chinese will only do the catering industry. ”
Davis nodded, indicating that he did think so.
"No, Mr. Davis, I don't have any plans to open a restaurant, I'm going to set up a company. ”
After getting Guo Yongkun's specific answer, Davis understood, but ...... Even if you open a company and plan to open it in Rockefeller Center, this is bold enough.
It is simply impossible for the average small company to survive there, because the rent is very expensive.
"Mr. Guo, can I take the liberty of asking, what is the main purpose of this company you want to establish?"
Guo Yongkun smiled: "It's nothing, you will know sooner or later." is a beverage company. ”
"Drinks?
"A drink that doesn't exist in the U.S. yet. ”
Shouldn't we first talk about cooperation with retailers, lay down sales channels, and at least make a little bit of fame first?
Lawyer Davis feels that this Chinese does not know how to do business at all, and is very similar to many rich second generations who inherit family property in the United States.
Of course, he didn't say these words, he is not qualified to dictate other people's business models, he knows his part very well.
But if you want him to run it, he certainly won't do that.
It is not wise to carry a huge financial pressure before the product is ready for the market.
He guessed that the young man should have represented a product that tasted good, which led to a burst of self-confidence.
……
Rockefeller Center is not the name of a building, but a complex of 19 buildings.
The center covers a total of 22 acres and runs east-west from 48th to 51st Streets in Manhattan and three blocks from Fifth Avenue to Seventh Avenue in north-south.
The entire complex was built by the Rockefeller family and was designated a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. government in 1987. It is also the largest privately owned complex in the world.
Guo Yongkun has been here several times, and he was here yesterday, so he seems familiar with the road, and the extended version of Lincoln stopped in front of the No. 1 building in Rockefeller Center Plaza, which is also the tallest building in the entire Rockefeller Center, 69 stories high.
The other 18 buildings next to it are clustered around it like stars.
Uncle Tom didn't go up, Guo Yongkun took the other five people, just like a regular business team, and took the elevator directly to the 8th floor.
Tishman Speyer, which manages Rockefeller Center, has a branch here, and is the largest management company in New York.
Of course, their employer must have been the Rockefeller family.
"Mr. Guo, please come here. ”
The beautiful hostess invited Guo Yongkun and the others into a conference room, and said that she would inform their manager immediately.
Not long ago, there was also a good coffee brought in by the service staff.
This is normal, Guo Yongkun and they are customers after all, and they send business to their doors.
"I'm sorry, I've been waiting. ”
Not long after, a middle-aged man with blonde hair pushed the door in, followed by a beautiful female secretary.
Jerry Bain?
Suddenly, at the sight of this man, Lawyer Davis's blue eyes shrank suddenly.
How could he receive it personally?
You know, Jerry Bain is the senior vice president of Tishman-Speyer and the person in charge of the management of the Rockefeller Center.
With his identity, if it weren't for the big deal, he wouldn't have to show up in person at all, and there were business managers underneath.
Of course, he knows the other person, and the other party doesn't necessarily know him, unless ...... Newspaper the name.
After all, his feud with Donald was in a uproar for a while, and his name appeared in the newspaper several times, but he refused to appear on the camera.
After a few simple polite words with the other party, Guo Yongkun went straight to the point and asked with a light smile, "Mr. Bain, I don't know what we suggested yesterday, how did your company think about it?"
Xia Ying saved trouble today, because Leah came forward and did the standard translation almost simultaneously.
And the aura is definitely not comparable to her.
Bane's gaze would stay on Leah's chest for a few seconds every now and then, and his momentum was not as tough as yesterday.
It turns out that this guy is a pervert...... Guo Yongkun thought to himself, knowing this, he would personally go to pick out clothes for Sister Lia......
"Mr. Guo, you should know that our Tishman-Speyer Company is only an escrow company of Rockefeller Center, and the price standard is not set by us. ”
Of course, Guo Yongkun knows this, the relationship between a master and a housekeeper. However, since the master has been entrusted with the sole responsibility of the steward, how can the steward not have any rights?
"I hope there will be a twist in Mr. Bain's later words, otherwise what is the purpose of inviting me here today?" After spending a few days in the United States, Guo Yongkun also learned a little American humor.
Bane laughed, "Of course. After yesterday's meeting, we also negotiated with the above, and finally got a plan, if Mr. Guo can rent the 61-63 floors of the building as promised, he can give you a 9.5% discount. ”
"9.5% off?" Guo Yongkun frowned, this price did not meet his expectations.
However, he didn't notice the look on the face of Lawyer Davis next to him.
Lease of the premises on the 61st and 63rd floors of the building...... Rent three floors directly?
His eyes widened, and he looked at Guo Yongkun in disbelief.
Not surprised by his madness, but ...... Shocked by his strength.
How much does that cost?
This is One Rockefeller Center Plaza!
He originally thought that Guo Yongkun could rent a small area as a company site on a certain floor here, but he never expected that the other party would rent three floors as soon as he got it!
Guo Yongkun glanced at Leah, meaning "It's time to show your skills".
"Mr. Bain, you know, we have a long lease term, at least ten years......"
Leah began to show the eloquence of a scholar who was a master's student in the journalism department and was studying for a doctorate, and Bane was stunned for a moment, as if he would incur huge losses if he didn't rent these venues to the other party at a discount.
Long.
"Miss Leah, I have to admit that your eloquence is really good, comparable to that of a negotiator, and you have even moved me. ”
Bane smiled: "But, please forgive me for refusing such a beautiful lady, the 20% discount you said is far below the market standard, this is no longer a business problem, it will pull down the overall rent standard of Rockefeller Center, and have a chain reaction."
"And this kind of consequence is definitely not something I can afford, and I will probably lose my job because of it. ”
Guo Yongkun still understood the word, and subconsciously glanced at Leah.
He told Leah about a 9% discount.
This girl is quite good at business negotiations, and she is simply self-taught.
Not surprisingly, after lowering the other party's expectations, Leah smiled, began to be less "aggressive" again, softened her words and attitude, and continued to communicate.
At this time, Guo Yongkun was thinking about something else.
Mainly because he noticed the strange gaze of lawyer Davis next to him, which gave him some "inspiration".
He is a person who intends to wrestle with Comrade Jianguo, and his current wealth and net worth are lower than that of the other party, if he has the opportunity, should he make a profit?
Well, most of the things he did in the past were not for the main purpose of making money.
"Sister Leah. He suddenly spoke up, interrupting Leah's talk.
"What's wrong?" Leah turned to look at him for some reason, her expression even a little complaining, because she felt like she was going to be able to do it right away.
"Tell him I'm going to buy the building. ”

There is no mistake
