On the East Third Ring Road, on the corner of Chang'an Avenue, stands a modern 29-storey building with boxy windows that look like chocolate. This is the Capital International Building, known as the Chocolate Building.

Zhao Jiao and Qin Feng got out of the car and looked up at the tall building, with hesitation in their eyes: "Brother Feng, do we really want to set up the company's headquarters here?" Wouldn't it be too wasteful? ”

"How can it be called waste." Qin Feng said: "This is the embodiment of our company's strength, with Santana, with this place as the company's headquarters, no one will underestimate us." Let's go, let's go inside. ”

Building Management Office.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, you're late, our building has been rented out." The building is managed by a senior executive who spends $100,000 an year and is specially invited from Sweden, who has a gentlemanly demeanor and speaks politely.

After all, the people who dare to come to them to rent an office are not simple, although the man and woman in front of them are Orientals, but at first glance they are successful people in society.

"Late? When do I have to come to be eligible to rent? ”

"In July '85, when the building had just been completed, our 50,000 square meters of space here had been leased out by 98 domestic and foreign units, and a three-year contract was signed with a one-year rent as a deposit. Therefore, it will only expire in July '88, and if you come back next year, there may be other tenants who will quit the lease. ”

Not good, sloppy! Qin Feng secretly thought in his heart, even if it was reborn, it didn't mean that Qin Feng was omnipotent, he knew that the Chocolate Mansion was very expensive, but he still underestimated the difficulty of renting a place here.

50,000 square meters, 98 units, on average, each has a rental area of about 500 square meters!

The Chocolate Building is divided into two halves, half of which is the company's business premises and the other half is the accommodation premises, so that there are more than 200 square meters on each side.

The rent is not afraid, the office building is 1.2 US dollars per square meter per day, and the apartment is 1.3 US dollars per square meter per day, even if it is 50 square meters of office and 50 square meters of accommodation, that month is 4,000 US dollars, converted into RMB, the rent of one or two hundred thousand yuan a month is still affordable.

Unexpectedly, poverty still limits their imagination, the area for rent here is two or three hundred square meters, and it is not subrented, while renting an office building, you have to rent an apartment!

In this way, the rent will be 100,000 yuan a month, and 1 million yuan a year! Moreover, you have to deposit a year's rent as a deposit, so that just renting an office space here will cost you two or three million a year!

The money I made last time was not enough to invest all of it.

Poor, still too poor, and you have to continue to make money in the future!

"Mr. Qin, since there is no extra room here, let's go." Zhao Jiao said on the side.

Qin Feng wanted to leave, but touched the things in his briefcase and decided to try again: "Since you're here, don't worry, there's a restaurant on the top floor of this chocolate building, let's go up and have something to eat." ”

"Okay." Outside, Zhao Jiao is very well-behaved.

"Mr. Qin, you walk slowly, go out and turn right, and the elevator leads directly to the restaurant on the top floor." The other party enthusiastically sent the door out and sent the two up the stairs.

The elevator door slowly opened, and two people wearing chef clothes appeared inside, one of whom was wearing a chef's hat on his head that was a little tall, at least thirty centimeters! It was the first time Zhao Jiao saw this kind of hat, and she couldn't help but look twice.

At this time, the two were communicating in Cantonese.

"I didn't buy Ito-Yokado coffee beans this time! Really, when we signed the contract with CITIC Group, we at Maxim's Group have promised to be a world-class catering, and now, the coffee we provide must also be world-class in the world! ”

"Yes, Ito-Yokado's coffee beans come from the war zone in Africa and are the best coffee bean producing areas in the world, but unfortunately the quantity is too small for us to order every time we order!"

"Yes, even if we pay ten dollars a kilogram, we can't buy it! The mall sold out as soon as it hit the shelves! ”

Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh, to say that the most business-savvy people in the world, except for Jews, are the dwarfs of the island country, selling coffee beans to them at a price of three dollars a kilogram, it feels very high, but I didn't expect that the people of the island country hoarded Juqi and fried this coffee bean to ten dollars a kilogram!

The restaurant on the top floor of the Chocolate Building was contracted to Maxim's Group, and when the contract was signed, there was a relevant clause: the restaurant must be of first-class quality, otherwise the rent will be deducted!

Now, they are faced with the problem of not being able to source first-class coffee beans, and they are all worried.

Maxim's Group is from the Pearl of the Orient, and these two chefs are also from the Pearl of the Orient, among which the chef in the top hat is named Luo Dong, who is in charge of Western food and snacks, and is also responsible for beverages, coffee is one of the most important.

After going back, he didn't know how to be counted down by the manager, just when he was depressed and depressed, the young man opposite took out a sealed plastic bag: "Excuse me, are you looking for this kind of thing?" ”

A fluent Cantonese came out of Qin Feng's mouth, and Zhao Jiao's eyes widened again, Brother Feng, you even know this kind of weird tone?

Luo Dong glanced at it in surprise, looked at the shabby packaging, and subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but the other party was young and handsome, and at first glance he looked like a high-ranking cadre or a successful person in society, and the girl next to him was even more beautiful, maybe with some vision.

"This is a coffee bean, but..."

However, there are many coffee beans in the world, with different tastes, and even different roasted coffee beans, which may affect the taste.

He hesitated, did not take it, at this time, ding dong, the elevator has reached the top floor.

Qin Feng put the bag of coffee beans in his hand: "Take it, go back and try it, maybe there will be a surprise." ”

After speaking, Qin Feng strode out.

With the experience of going to Lao Mo, Zhao Jiao is no longer afraid of all kinds of tall Western restaurants, and when she goes out with Brother Feng, she must not embarrass Brother Feng!

At the door of the elevator is the welcome lady, who is generous and generous, greeting the two in Cantonese, Qin Feng replied in Cantonese, a picture of the big boss from the Pearl of the Orient.

After sitting down, he ordered a few dishes, and when the waiter left, Zhao Jiao whispered: "Brother Feng, will they take the bait?" ”

"Absolutely." Qin Feng is very sure: "The problem of our company renting space can be solved by the way, let's exchange coffee beans for dozens of square meters of space in their restaurant, ten dollars per kilogram, and a month's rent is only a few hundred catties of coffee beans." ”
