Hucheng Center Skyscraper.
When Zhou Xing got out of the car, Qin Fen and the Property Manager were already waiting there.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Chen Maohua, the Property Manager here. You can just call me Xiao Chen."
The Property Manager, around thirty years old and dressed in a gray suit, was the first to step forward, warmly greeting Zhou Xing and shaking his hand.
Zhou Xing nodded and shook his hand: "Hello, Manager Chen."
"You're finally here."
Qin Fen walked towards Zhou Xing, appearing much more relaxed. He then glanced at Zhang Yan, who was standing behind Zhou Xing: "And this is?"
"Zhang Yan, a Private Secretary from China Merchants Bank."
Zhou Xing introduced her.
Zhang Yan also stepped forward and greeted Qin Fen: "Hello, Mr. Qin, I am Zhang Yan."
"Hello."
Qin Fen also responded to Zhang Yan with a smile.
Then he turned his attention back to Zhou Xing: "Let's go, let's see if the office building I picked for you suits your taste."
He was quite wealthy, so Private Secretaries like Zhang Yan were commonplace to him.
There was absolutely no surprise.
"Alright."
Zhou Xing nodded.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Qin... this way, please, I'll lead the way."
Chen Maohua quickly stepped forward, leading the three into the building.
They arrived at the elevator lobby and pressed the elevator button.
"Ding."
The elevator doors opened.
Chen Maohua stood at the entrance. After all three had entered, he stood inside and asked Zhou Xing and Qin Fen for their preference: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Qin, shall we go up to the higher floors first to take a look?"
"Mm."
Zhou Xing had no objection to this. He had heard of the Hucheng Center Skyscraper, known as the tallest building in Huaxia.
Working in a high-rise, amidst the clouds, overlooking the entire city of Shanghai.
The feeling was naturally extraordinary.
"Okay."
Chen Maohua pressed the button for the 106th floor, and the elevator swiftly ascended.
The speed was extremely fast.
Inside the elevator, however, it remained very stable and relatively quiet.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your support of our Center Skyscraper. Let me give you an introduction first."
Chen Maohua stood in the elevator, breaking the silence with a smile: "Our Hucheng Center Skyscraper is located in the Lujiazui Financial Center and is known as one of the three iconic buildings."
"And our Center Skyscraper is not only the tallest among the three iconic buildings, but more importantly, it is the tallest super skyscraper in China and the second tallest in the world, with a total height of 632 meters, reaching straight into the clouds. Standing at its peak, you can overlook the entire city as far as the eye can see."
"The office space is fully furnished and equipped. The front desk provides daily reception services, and it also features high-end small and medium-sized multi-functional conference rooms, pantries, lounges, and smoking rooms."
"Working at the top of the Hucheng Center Skyscraper, you can take in the entire city of Shanghai without obstruction, enjoying a unique first-class view."
"At the same time, transportation here is extremely convenient. Our second underground level connects to Metro Line 2 and the currently under construction Line 4."
"The Center Skyscraper is interconnected with the Shanghai World Financial Center, Jin Mao Tower, and IFC Mall."
"We believe that if you choose to work here, we will definitely provide you with an unparalleled experience."
Zhou Xing was noncommittal about this.
The environment and conditions here were indeed among the best in all of Shanghai.
Since he was going to open an investment company, the facade naturally couldn't be shabby.
People are judged by their clothes, just as a horse is judged by its saddle.
If a company's facade was ordinary, how could others place enough trust in that company?
"Let's look at the office space first."
Zhou Xing said indifferently.
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator arrived at the 106th floor.
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, please come this way."
Chen Maohua guided them towards the designated area.
Before long.
They arrived in front of a spacious office.
Chen Maohua entered the password, and the glass door opened automatically.
Zhou Xing walked in first.
At a glance, it was endlessly vast, with an enormous amount of space.
Almost everywhere was composed of 270-degree glass curtain walls.
Approaching the glass curtain wall, clouds swirled around.
The entire panorama of Shanghai was visible.
It gave one the feeling of being above the entire city.
It brought immense satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.
Working here was indeed a refreshing experience.
"How large is this area?"
Zhou Xing asked Chen Maohua.
"Mr. Zhou, this office space is 1800 square meters."
Zhou Xing nodded. An 1800-square-meter office was barely enough.
"What about the rent?"
Zhou Xing asked again.
"Regarding the rent, because Mr. Zhou, you are a good friend of Mr. Qin, we will definitely offer you a discount on the price. Also, our Center Skyscraper was only completed at the beginning of this year, so we welcome major well-known enterprises to move in and also offer certain discounts."
Chen Maohua said: "Calculated at the original price, one square meter here costs 15.9 yuan per day, and the property management fee is 20 yuan per square meter per month. The annual rent for a one-year lease is 10,735,200."
"If you decide to sign, I will give you a discount of about 20% on the total price, meaning the annual rent will only be around 8.58 million yuan."
"This price is already very cost-effective and affordable."
Chen Maohua explained: "It is also the lowest discount our company can offer. Mr. Zhou, do you have any comments or thoughts on this price?"
Zhou Xing stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.
An annual rent of over eight million yuan was indeed quite affordable and cost-effective.
After all, this was one of the top office buildings in Shanghai.
Whether it was the location, environment, or service, everything was impeccable.
Without much hesitation, he said: "Alright, let's take this one."
"Okay, I will prepare the contract for you immediately."
A hint of joy appeared on Chen Maohua's face, and he respectfully said: "Please wait a moment. I'll take you to the lounge to rest briefly first."
"No need, just go prepare the contract. I'll stay here."
Zhou Xing said.
"Okay."
Chen Maohua naturally had no objection and quickly turned to walk towards the elevator lobby.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with the office building I picked?"
Qin Fen said to Zhou Xing with a smile, clearly seeking credit.
"Good taste."
Zhou Xing returned a smile.
"Of course... you don't even know how long I personally ran around to find an office building for you, while you, old man, were quite enjoying yourself, making a decision in less than twenty minutes."
Qin Fen crossed his arms: "I'll have to make you treat me to a big meal for this."
"That's a minor matter."
Zhou Xing turned his head to Qin Fen: "Yesterday you mentioned ByteDance, when exactly is the fundraising?"
