Three o'clock in the afternoon, Kyoto.

Accompanied by Wang Bing, Jiang Yang went straight to the Blue Whale Building, which had just been built in Tongwu District.

This building was originally invested and built by a Xiangjiang owner in the mainland, and later because it moved to the field of electronic technology, it was bought by Bai Chengen because of the lack of funds in the middle of the construction.

The location of the building is located on the shore of Onyx Lake in Tongwu District, about 4 kilometers away from the business district, which is not a prime location, and the Xiangjiang boss is relatively short of money, so Bai Chengen took advantage of the price when he won this building.

160 meters high, 39 floors above ground for commercial office area, 2 floors underground large parking lot, there is a park belonging to the building outside the building, covering an area of about 13 acres, built a basic garden road and greening, the entrance made a huge fountain with a diameter of 8 meters and the statue of the blue whale.

The main building has a total construction area of 41,735 square meters, and 20 floors are currently in use, and 19 floors are not renovated.

According to Wang Bing on the road, the Blue Whale Building has invested about 2.3 billion RMB so far, and when the building was originally purchased, it was because Blue Whale needed to expand its business needs in Kyoto and stabilize Blue Whale's dominant position in the Kyoto market.

Jiang Yang sat in the back of the car and quietly looked at the building that was getting closer and closer.

By this time, he could already see a huge building engraved with the word "Blue Whale" next to an artificial lake.

"It's not expensive."

Jiang Yang responded.

Wang Bingzai said in the co-pilot: "I heard from the people in the company that when Mr. Bai wanted to take this building, there was still a lot of controversy. ”

Jiang Yang looked at Wang Bing.

Wang Bingdao: "At that time, it was just June 01, not long after you left Kyoto, Blue Whale Finance cooperated with Miss Anna's mining company to buy a large amount of gold and land, Qingshan Mansion blossomed all over the country, the marketing department and the Filet Group were hot, and the accounts were short of money, and the revenue of many Blue Whale incubated enterprises was very bleak. ”

"Li Yan from the Finance Department, Wang Gang from the Marketing Department, as well as President Wan Kai Cheng Wan, Li Jinfu and President Li, as well as the core backbone of the Blue Whale Group, were all opposed to spending so much money to buy a half-built building at that time."

But at that time, Mr. Bai seemed to have an iron heart, saying that he would set up a Blue Whale headquarters in Kyoto and shift the dominant market from Shanghai to Kyoto. But in that case, Blue Whale's financial pressure will be great, and the company's senior management will also frequently put pressure on Mr. Bai to oppose this matter. ”

Jiang Yang was slightly shocked when he heard this: "There is still such a thing." ”

Wang Bing nodded and said, "Later, Mr. Bai withstood everyone's pressure and came to Kyoto to discuss with Sister Lan. Sister Lan stood up to support Mr. Bai to buy this building, so everyone didn't say anything, and Director Li of the Finance Department also agreed to pay the money, as for how to operate the funds, I don't know very well. ”

"All in all, the Blue Whale Building in Kyoto is really a twist and turn, and the continuation and decoration of the back alone has stopped three times inside and out, which is not smooth."

Jiang Yang was puzzled: "Why did you stop three times?" ”

Wang Bing smiled awkwardly: "I don't know, I'm not a person in the Blue Whale system after all, and no one told me about these internal things." It's just that I know some scattered information from some other staff and outsiders, and everyone is rumoring that it is because the blue whale has no money. ”

"The main reason is that the investment scope of Blue Whale was too wide during that time, and nearly 100 real estate projects in Qingshan Mansion across the country were being carried out at the same time, plus Filet Group has been fighting a price war with Blue Whale, I heard people from the marketing department say that it seems that Blue Whale is losing money in the entire FMCG market this year."

"They also said."

Wang Bing turned around and said: "The reason why Blue Whale's FMCG field has not been eaten by the Filet Group is all because of the support and protection of the local government and the support of the real estate industry. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yang probably had some understanding of the domestic situation.

"Is Mr. Bai in Kyoto or Shanghai?"

Jiang Yang asked.

Wang Bingdao: "For more than half a year, Mr. Bai has been running between Shanghai and Kyoto, and I saw the news of his coming to Kyoto on the news a few days ago. ”

"Now the blue whale is still very famous in China."

Wang Bing said with a smile: "Many of the company's leaders are public figures and are very famous, and I often see Mr. Bai, Wang Gang, Wan Kaicheng, Li Jinfu and Sister Lan in newspapers and news. ”

"That is, to be famous in business circles."

Jiang Yang leaned on the back seat and said: "There are so many people in the country, and only a very small number of people pay attention to this circle. Like most ordinary people, they are more interested in celebrities. ”

As he spoke, the Land Rover had already driven into the downstairs of the building.

When the people in the security room saw the car from a distance, they raised the gear lever, and a man in his early fifties walked out wearing a security guard uniform, holding a teacup, and greeted Wang Bing with a smile.

"Leader, come and inspect?"

The security guard seemed to be very familiar with Wang Bing, with a bright smile on his face and deep wrinkles.

Wang Bing pressed the window, sat in the co-pilot, took out a box of Yuxi cigarettes, and handed one over.

"Old crutch, don't talk nonsense, I'm not a leader, the real leader sits in the back."

Wang Bing looked at him and said.

The security guard named Lao Guan took the cigarette with a smile, shrugged his black cotton coat, and glanced behind him through the window.

I don't know.

"It's all leaders."

Lao Guan smiled very brightly: "The main road in front is paving stone bricks, bypass the auxiliary road on the left, the big Land Rover is too heavy, don't crush the newly paved floor tiles." ”

Wang Bing smiled: "You care a lot. ”

Lao Guan said: "That's for sure, our company's stone bricks are all blue and white boards, dozens of pieces, it's a pity to crush it, Boss Bai's money is not blowing in the wind, you say yes, leader?" ”

"Okay, okay."

Wang Bing saw that he was chatting endlessly, and said, "Let's go around from the left." ”

"Gotcha."

The old crutch raised his hand with a smile and ducked back.

The driver stepped on the accelerator and the Land Rover continued on its way.

Jiang Yang glanced at the back seat and looked back: "Why is there only one person on duty in the security room, and he is still so old?" ”

Wang Bingdao: "Temporary, the old man's name is Han Youmin, his right leg is a prosthetic, and he belongs to a special poor household in Kyoto in other places, and he used to work in a textile factory. Later, when the textile factory closed down, I found the Red Star Security Company, knowing that our salary was high, and he said that he would come to work with us. ”

"At first, I thought he was too old and his legs were inconvenient, so I didn't plan to ask for him."

"Later, when I heard someone talk about his life experience, I really felt too pitiful, so I let him stay."

Speaking of this, Wang Bing also glanced back and said, "Mr. Jiang, don't worry, when the Blue Whale Building is officially put into use, I will let our own security staff take over, and I will not delay the company's affairs." ”

Jiang Yang nodded slightly and took his eyes off the security booth.

I saw Han Youmin limping to a pile of abandoned stones, bending down to get something, picking up a green brick from time to time, walking to the side with difficulty, finding a clean place to put it down, and limping back again.

"I'm not in such a hurry, I'll go back and contact someone from the human resources department and arrange a suitable job for him."

Jiang Yang said as he looked at Han Youmin with interest.

He was curious about what this guy was doing on a cold day carrying a pile of cut and broken waste rock.

"Mr. Jiang, it's here."

The Land Rover slowly stopped, Wang Bing turned around to remind, and took off the seat belt.

Jiang Yang nodded and pushed open the car door.

The cold wind whistled and blew on the face.

A huge building appeared in front of me, and when I looked up, I couldn't see the roof, only to see four dark blue words written on the outside of the stairs: Blue Whale Building.

Jiang Yang stood in front of the building, stopping slightly to watch.

I haven't seen it for a year, and the blue whale has its own building in Kyoto.
