Chapter 35 IFC's TWG (1)

Huo Feng went to the conference room for a meeting. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Isaac, the manager in charge of land acquisition, was the first to report on the results of his land search.

"Now both Suzhou and Xiamen have a villa land that is willing to be transferred to us, but several high-rise residences have been built around the plot in Suzhou, and if the villa is built in the middle of the high-rise building, the privacy does not meet our requirements. The land in Xiamen is not bad, on the main road around the island, there is a little slope, and the mountains are facing the sea. Backed by Genting Mountain, you can see the sea above two floors, and there are villa areas nearby, and the Genting Manor closest to the plot is also villas with a price of over 100 million, and they have been sold out. Isaac felt that he had finally found a good plot of land and was very positive about it.

At this moment, Huo Feng's mind was still in Zuo Zai's phone and did not come out.

Isaac saw that Huo Feng didn't answer him, so he simply asked him directly: "Hyman (Huo Feng's English name), do you think you should choose Suzhou or Xiamen?"

"I'm going to Shanghai." Huo Feng's answer made the participants look at each other.

If the first-tier cities can get the land, does Isaac still need to work hard to run all the second-tier cities in China?

If you want to build a manor, you can't build a manor in Shanghai, and if you want to go to Shanghai, you can't build a manor.

Could it be that Lao Huo always wants to open it? Don't insist on building a manor anymore?

After Huo Feng said this, he seemed to have made a great determination, and his mind finally entered the conference room.

"Where are the two plots of land you just mentioned?" Huo Feng asked Isaac.

Didn't he clearly say that he was going to Shanghai just now, why did he suddenly ask him about the two pieces of land he was looking for, Isaac didn't understand what Huo Feng meant, and hesitated for a moment before answering: Suzhou and Xiamen.

"You first take the materials of the plot to the legal department to see if there are any potential risks." Huo Feng confessed to Isaac.

Isaac began looking for land two years ago, and has returned more than a dozen plots of land to choose from, but none of them have yet made it past the board of directors. In the final analysis, it can't get into Huo Liang's eyes.

The land that Huo's wants is not something that can be obtained by participating in an auction like other real estate companies.

Isaac is in charge, it is definitely a chore, after finding the villa land to be developed, he has to have a relationship with the "landlord", Huo wants to buy, people have to be willing to sell, and often have to discuss joint development matters.

It took a lot of effort to talk about each piece of land, and most of it was rejected at the company meeting. More than a dozen pieces were killed by the board of directors, and there are many more, which are not at all at the level of board discussion.

"Is the Huo family now interested in going to Shanghai to build a non-pure manor-style real estate?" Huo's COO (Chief Operating Officer) asked.

Everyone in the company directly calls them by their English names, but this COO is Mr. Lei who wants to be called, and Huo Feng calls him Uncle Lei.

Huo Feng originally had two "uncles" in the Huo family, Uncle Mu and Uncle Lei, and now that Uncle Mu is retired, Uncle Lei is the most "old" person in the company. Uncle Lei was also the one who fought the world with Huo Liang back then, and was one of the members of the Huo family's board of directors.

Uncle Lei came to Huo's two years later than Mu Jingyang, and in terms of shares, he can only be regarded as a small shareholder. Many people on the board of directors have more shares than him, but those people, except for Huo Liang and Mu Jingyang, have never worked in Huo's.

Uncle Lei has always been a little dissatisfied with Mu Jingyang and Huo Liang's "collusion", overly conservative, and somewhat stubborn business style.

However, the two major shareholders are in step with the same opinion and have the same opinion, even if Uncle Lei is dissatisfied, he cannot affect the resolution of the board of directors.

At this moment, listening to Huo Feng's mouth talking about Shanghai, Uncle Lei was thinking, is the new CEO not as conservative as his father, and the Huo family can embark on the road of rapid development in the future?

Uncle Lei's face was full of anticipation, and Huo Feng only replied to him with two words: "No."

Uncle Lei suddenly looked like a deflated ball again.

After hanging up the phone, Zuo took the subway to IFC to find Cheng Yan.

The offices of Windle's Shanghai branch have not yet been renovated. Cheng Yan went to stare at it himself. In fact, the main body of an international top office building like IFC has already been decorated, and what needs to be done here is soft decoration in addition to partitions.

It is said that there is no need for Cheng Yan to stare at these things by himself, but he, a Yale architectural design graduate, can only encounter it once in a few years, and no matter how unnecessary it is related to his major, he is willing to stare at it himself, and everything is very detailed.

Zuo Zai felt that as long as Cheng Yan did things related to design, he immediately changed from Leo to Virgo.

…………………………

The refrigerator I bought again on the left was not delivered until one o'clock at noon. By the time Zuo set off from his house, it was almost two o'clock. Cheng Yan felt that Zuo Zai must not have eaten well at noon, so he booked a seat at Shanghai IFC's TWG, and when Zuo came again, he took her to TWG for afternoon tea. (Note 1)

TWG's afternoon tea, Zuo Zai has not drunk it before. I saw that the TWG logo and tableware were written 1837 everywhere, and the style of decoration was also good, so I was a little curious.

"Did this sign exist in 1837? How come I've never heard of it? Zuo asked Cheng Yan again.

"It seems that it was only in 2008, when I happened to be in Singapore, and I attended the opening reception of TWG, and at that time, VI and the interior were designed by my friend, and it should be the first one." Cheng Yan answered Zuo Zai's question.

The waiter came over and asked Zuo Zai and Cheng Yan what to order, and when he heard Cheng Yan's words, looking at Cheng Yan's eyes could be summarized as worship and nymphomania. It is said that the waiters in Shanghai have a bad attitude, but Zuo Zai and Cheng Yan have never met each other.

The waiter was done with a nymphomaniac, and hurriedly got down to business: "Mr. may know more about the TWG brand than I do, so I won't recommend it to you, what do you want?" ”

Zuo Zai told Cheng Yan that he had already had lunch, and Cheng Yan only ordered "Singapore Surprise" and some macarons.

"Singapore Surprise is TWG's signature dessert, so you can try it later. However, I want you to have some tea, and it is said at the reception that TWG has more than 800 kinds of tea, many of which are made by themselves, which are very unique, and you have to rely on your professional nose to pick one. Cheng Yan felt that for things that needed to use the sense of smell, it was best to go out on his own.

…………………………

Note 1: The information about the brand development of TWG is true, but TWG only entered the mainland in August 2014, the first store is in Shanghai Ganghui Henglong Plaza, the atrium on the second floor, there is no formal door, it feels a little lower than other stores, and then the second - IFC store and the third - IAPM store of the International Trade Center. Three in a year. TWG's "Singapore Surprise" cake is about 70 pieces, and the afternoon tea is 120 yuan for a single person, of course, it will be more expensive if you change it to a better tea. This afternoon tea is expensive, and it is not unaffordable, and there are many stores in Shanghai that have afternoon tea that is more expensive than this.
