Because Shanghai is close to the sea and is a delta plain formed by the impact of the Yangtze River estuary, the bottom is sandy land, and the texture is much softer. The construction cost of building a skyscraper is still quite high.
Chen Bo really doesn't want to give up that good place, and he doesn't let go of other plots, so we can only find another way.
Secretary Liu said earnestly at this time: "Brother, you listen to my brother's advice, think about the Giant Mansion in Hengqin City, then Shi Yuzhu smashed all his net worth into it, and it is still unfinished." β
Giant Building, of course Chen Bo knows. It was a sensational event across the country, but behind it was also the blind pursuit of the tallest building in China by Hengqin officials, from the planned 18 floors to 38, 54, and 64 skyscrapers to 78 floors.
In 97, only three floors were built, and it couldn't survive the collapse, and Shi Yuzhu was also burdened with huge debts.
However, now that it has eased up, the hot market of brain platinum has made him successfully make a comeback, but the Giant Building has become a pain for his life, and it has also made him miss the opportunity to join Minsheng Bank as the founder.
"Brother Liu, this is just an idea, I have a few pounds and a few taels to make it clear to myself, I won't do that kind of stupid thing."
"That's good, Mayor Liang is very optimistic about you."
"Save, save. Come, drink tea. β
Chen Bo avoided this topic and didn't talk about it first, he still wanted to try that piece of land hard, but he could only wait for the opportunity to operate it gradually.
The two chatted for a while, and Secretary Liu left first, making an appointment to talk next time. When he didn't have to wait long, Pan Yue also came out of the textile factory.
"The other party agreed in principle, but on one condition."
"What?"
"Let's be responsible for building a textile museum, with the ownership going to them and the management to us."
"It's pretty good at taking advantage, what do you think?"
"I estimated that 4,000 square meters to build a regional museum would be enough, and the cost would be about 7 million. But on the land outside the textile factory, the original factory's offer of 25 million should be able to be won. β
"Okay, just do as you say. Don't cut corners, building an artistic museum can be regarded as working for the benefit of the citizens. β
Chen Bo instructed that the museum is basically a single building, not a high-rise, and there is no need to lay a deep foundation, so the relative cost is still very low. More than 30 million in exchange for a piece of 41 acres of land, which is still a good location, is already very cost-effective.
Chen Bo was quite satisfied with Pan Yue's work, and asked him to continue to follow up and seize the time to confirm.
At this time, there are two more engineering projects, the Xingchen Meiying Animation Museum and the Textile Museum, which also need to design plans and bidding. I will also discuss the cooperation plan with Xingwen on the textile factory.
Accumulate more experience, and if you get the land in the future, you can also do it yourself, there are too many locations suitable for the cultural and creative industry art district.
On the one hand, because the beginning of the 21st century is the peak period of the reform of old state-owned enterprises, there will be many red bricks and green tiles left behind in the era of buildings, and the waste utilization rate is relatively high. The other is the demand for spiritual civilization after economic development, who is in the mood to appreciate art in the era of insufficient food and clothing, and who is in the mood to create art?
Compared with the eighties and nineties, there was a shortage of materials and a golden age for the development of asset-heavy enterprises. This time is a good time for asset-light and rapid development.
Chen Bo received a call from Su Chenghao, saying that someone from Goldman Sachs Bank was visiting, and he was still a woman. I didn't stay here too much, I went back to the company directly, and it took a few minutes to drive, and the distance was not far.
"Where's the person?"
After returning to the company, Chen Bo asked directly.
"In the reception room, it's a young girl, who insists on seeing you, and doesn't say anything."
Well? Chen Bo glared at him when he heard what Su Chenghao's words seemed to mean. Goldman Sachs had never had much contact with it before, let alone was still young.
Li Zhaojun used to be a good employee of Goldman Sachs, but he has resigned for more than a year, so there will be no problems left, right?
Chen Bo pushed open the reception room, and the girl who was sitting on the sofa put down the magazine in her hand like a spring, and immediately stood up.
"You are Mr. Chen, I am Liu Qing from the Asian Investment Banking Department of Goldman Sachs."
"Hello, please take a seat."
Liu Qing? Not only does it sound familiar, but it also sounds familiar. It is indeed an exaggeration to say that she is a beauty, but her skin is quite white and she is very confident, and it is much more reasonable to call her a temperament beauty.
"I wonder what Miss Liu is looking for me?"
"That's right, I want to talk to you about the listing of Tencent Company."
"Huh?"
Chen Bo wondered not why Goldman Sachs knew that Tencent had a plan to go public, but why Goldman Sachs only sent one person, not to mention that the position on her business card was just an analyst.
Whether Tencent goes to the main board of Hong Kong Island or NASDAQ, it needs a professional team to operate, share reform, compliance, optimization of financial statements, and many other things to do.
But now this situation is obviously very amateurish, although Chen Bo has not operated the company to go public, but it does not prevent veterans such as Xiong Xiaoge and Li Zhaojun from giving him a rookie lesson.
"Goldman Sachs should go to Mr. Ma if he wants to be an underwriter, and I am not responsible for the specific affairs of Tencent."
There is no perfunctory statement in this sentence, and Tencent operates independently and is not affected by the will of shareholders. How to go public and which investment bank to find is responsible for it is all up to him.
Chen Bo can only put forward opinions, and if it goes against the management's philosophy, it will still be rejected. This method is the greatest guarantee of the independence of the management team of Tencent, unless there are uncontrollable factors, Pangu Group will take over as the controlling shareholder.
"You misunderstood, Mr. Chen. I would like to ask whether Goldman Sachs has the possibility of becoming a strategic investor in Tencent. Liu Qing explained.
That's too abrupt, the level is not enough at all, it's not that Chen Bo looks down on her, large companies have their own means of doing things, and it's impossible to send a grassroots employee to come.
"I understand the motivation of you to make a performance, but I really am not responsible for Tencent."
As Chen Bo spoke, he glanced at a section of earphone cable exposed in the lady Kun's bag next to the sofa, and asked casually
"Miss Liu still likes to listen to music, I don't know if it's an iPod or a Samsung Yepp?"
"Why is Mr. Chen so unconfident, I use the Mai Dong Walkman."
Liu Qing said and took out the walkman in Kun's bag, it was indeed his own product. Thinking of her age, Chen Bo had already guessed her identity, glanced at his watch, and said
"Let's not talk about work first, it's not too early, I'll invite you to dinner."
"Well, okay then." Liu Qing said with some disappointment.
Kerry Centre is surrounded by office buildings above and leisure and consumption venues such as shopping malls and restaurants below. It's not difficult to eat, and it's all a place for mass leisure consumption.
"Sichuan cuisine?" Chen Bo asked.
"Okay, Huaiyang vegetables are too sweet."
As a northerner, Chen Bo's favorite is still the heavy-flavored home-cooked Lu cuisine, which is known as the three huhu: oily, black, and sticky.
Lu people like to use dark soy sauce to cook, and the taste is salty and spicy. Lu cuisine, the first of the eight major cuisines, should actually be called official cuisine and Confucian cuisine. It was all eaten by rich and noble families in ancient times, and they were very particular about everything from tableware to ingredients. Just talking about a nine-turn large intestine requires a very complex process, which is not as down-to-earth as Sichuan cuisine.
Therefore, many people rarely eat authentic Shandong cuisine even when they go to Shandong Province, and Sichuan cuisine is more bold.
"You went to college in the United States, right?" Chen Bo asked.
"How do you know?" Liu Qing asked inexplicably.
"I'll look at the stars at night, pinch my fingers, and you'll know."
"If you can guess which school I graduated from, you're good."
How could the young people of the new society believe in the doctrine of feudal superstition?
"How about we make a bet? I can even count your undergraduate and master's colleges. Chen Bo smiled evilly.
"Bet on what?"
"If I win, you resign from Goldman Sachs and become my personal assistant."
"What if you lose?"
"Then I can promise you anything, but not against the law."
Liu Qing's heart was suddenly a little bottomless, in case it could really be calculated. had to resign from Goldman Sachs, but she finally passed five hurdles and entered Goldman Sachs after six generals.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Qing agreed to the gamble, because she really couldn't find any other flaws.
"Yenching, Harvard."
Chen Bo said these two unique words, and Liu Qing's pupils dilated.
"It's... How can it be? Have you investigated me? β
Now Liu Qing was dumbfounded, she was studying at Yenching University for her bachelor's degree, and Harvard was studying for a master's degree, and she guessed correctly from both universities, which really made her feel terrifying.
"I didn't know what your name was until then, so who was going to investigate you? I know a former Goldman Sachs employee, but she left before you arrived. Chen Bo spread his hands to show his innocence.
The gamble obviously ended in her complete defeat, and she had never experienced defeat before, and it was difficult for her to accept this fact. But in the face of this result, I can only admit defeat by betting.
If you want her to be like a little woman, she can't do it. Besides, is Chen Bo really a stranger? There will always be a time to meet in the future, if you pay the bills, then how can you mix in the circle?
"Give me a month, and I'm going back to Hong Kong Island to go through the resignation procedures." Liu Qing said depressedly.
"Yes, but you don't seem to be very happy."
"I ...... Very...... Happy...... Meaning! Liu Qing waited and gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Chen Bo's heart has already blossomed, what about a strong woman, brother, I have a golden finger. When there is a shortage of talents, this is sent to me, unless I am stupid and willing to let go, of course I have to dig a pit and bury it.
The meal took place and ended in a very delicate atmosphere.
Liu Qing has become Chen Bo's personal assistant in the future, not yet an assistant in a certain company. This is a decision made by Liu Qing on the premise that she doesn't know all of Chen Bo's industries, and after she really understands, maybe she won't have a feeling of regret.
