“…After unanimous approval by the expert group, we will strive to approve the project in 2010, start construction in 2011, cap it by the end of 2015, and put it into actual use by the end of 2016.

Qingyun Building covers a total area of ​​2.5 square meters, with four underground floors and 88 floors above ground. It has an investment of 88 billion yuan, a total construction area of ​​338800 square meters, and a height of 428.8 meters, which can accommodate..."

On the bank of the Huangpu River, a large group of people attracted the frequent stares of people around them. They gestured as they walked, and they didn’t look like they were from the planning department.

Not only is the overall temperament much better, but the specifications of the luxury cars on the side of the road are also beyond the sky. Some curious people secretly go up to take a look, and the license plate with zeros alone is enough to make people dizzy.

What is most curious is that the people in the front are holding an unusually large blueprint in their hands and are walking backwards to show it to the people behind them, while the person in charge of the explanation is talking eloquently.

It was a huge rendering, a sketch that was urgently drawn by a local design institute in Shanghai in a week, although it was very different from the actual scene after completion.

But since they were urged to do so, they had no choice but to "refer to" other commercial plazas of Yida in other regions and temporarily add the Jinmao Tower in Shanghai with slight changes.

This static display effect picture was put together temporarily, and it looks quite realistic. At least it can be used to fool people who don't know much about it.

The deputy governor of Shanghai and the prefect of Pudong, Wang Jianning of Yida, and the person involved, Li Zehua, who came to inspect, listened with smiles on their faces and nodded frequently.

Only Wang Sicong followed behind boredly, occasionally glancing at everyone's formulaic superficial smiles and finding them quite boring.

"Eight billion eight hundred million, six years, what will happen in six years, only God knows."

While everyone was stopping to look out at a place with a wide view, Li Zehua whispered something to Yu Li who was accompanying them.

Unexpectedly, Yu Li was much more proactive than him. "It would be better to build a few more. With so many fixed assets, we don't have to worry about accidents..."

Li Zehua didn't hear what she said next. He looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that she was so open-minded.

It's not that he was reluctant to do so, but he felt that the floor space was too small and adding more floors was not cost-effective. He could only say that he was spending money to buy fame.

But it is still acceptable to expand the surrounding area a little bit and increase the usable area.

Wang Jianning, who was standing next to her, turned around and nodded in agreement when he heard Yu Li's words.

“That’s the truth. A few years ago, whether it was Jack Ma or Pengcheng Ma, when they met and talked together, they both said that financing was difficult and loans were even more difficult.

In my opinion, the bank is not opened by their family. No matter how many clients the company has, when asked about the company's assets, everyone just shakes their heads.

Apart from some second-hand tables, chairs and benches, there are only a few computers left. How much are they worth?
For example, when Qiuqiu had tens of millions of customers, the bank approved a loan limit of 50 yuan for Tengda. Pengcheng Ma even publicly complained about this.

With this headquarters building, it will be easier for Qingyun to seek bank financing in the future."

"I'm sorry, Qingyun has never worried about not having enough collateral when looking for a bank loan."

Li Zehua heard the sourness in his words and decided to add fuel to the fire, "It seems that when the company started, we had tens of millions of credit lines in the bank.

I asked again later and they said that you can ask for anything within 1 billion yuan. I have never experienced what you said, so I don’t really understand it!”

Wang Jianning was stunned and pointed at him for a long time without saying anything.

Little did he know that the shares of Fama Group were very popular in the eyes of banks. The four major banks were all its shareholders. The banks were hoping that Qingyun would not repay the loan so that they could deduct the shares.

"88 billion yuan! Even if a bank group provides 70% of the loan in the early stage and the land transfer fee and other expenses are paid in six years, the remaining amount is not a small amount.

If this money is put aside for a year or two and invested in other necessary areas, I don’t know how much I can earn back.”

Li Zehua always felt that he was quite strange. When Pinxixi said that it would invest nearly 50 billion yuan in the market in the next year, he didn't even frown and directly signed to start allocating funds.

But with such a huge investment in the company's reputation, he felt a little painful.

After the final calculation, I realized that if I didn't use it, according to the investment return cycle, I wouldn't be able to make back the money even after renting it out for 15 years. It's really inefficient.

With the 50 billion yuan invested in Pinxixi, who knows how much can be earned back in 15 years.

Thinking of this, the excitement about owning a building that is completely my own faded a little.

Unconsciously, he has passed the stage where he needs external things to prove himself. If he continues to develop at this rate, within ten years, he will be qualified to touch the position of the richest man.

The most important thing is that he didn't come up with this idea himself, but was pushed forward by the people around him. What if the blueprint adds another 20 or 30 floors halfway through the construction?
Gu Shijie saw something and consoled him, "Chairman, as the group has grown to its current size, we need to take into account the interests of all parties. The first thing Modu proposed was a 600-meter skyscraper.

Being able to reach a two-thirds deal is already a great honor. Now all parts of the country are blindly pursuing high-end image projects. Even your hometown doesn’t have a building over 600 meters high. "

"That's right. If it weren't for the Shanghai Center Building, I'm afraid your 422.8-meter building wouldn't even be approved."

Wang Jianning, who had just been humiliated, came up to him with a smile and said, "I heard that the original plan was to raise the altitude to 650 meters or higher. You are unlucky.

You should refuse such a good opportunity. If you miss it, it will be hard to find it again in the future."

"The lessons learned from the Giant Building are there. The financial crisis has just passed. At any time, companies must have sufficient cash flow in their hands to cope with crises that may occur at any time."

Li Zehua knew that saying this at this time might cause criticism, but he had more than one company.

Then he changed the subject and said, "This building was originally named Qingyun, but I was actually against it.

Why? The company has only been established for a short time and its businesses are not mature enough yet. Who knows what the situation will be in two or three years?

By then, maybe one building will not be able to meet the office needs of all employees in Shanghai, and we will have to find a new location and build a new building.

And there is not enough space for expansion in the surrounding area. Won't we have to build headquarters everywhere in the future?"

He is suffering from lack of money now, but he never said that he would not do a better job when he has money in the future.

Qingyun Building has 88 floors. If Pinxixi becomes rich in the future, it will build a 108-story headquarters. If Honor becomes rich, it will build a new 128-story headquarters?

The scene is so beautiful that I dare not imagine it.

"Does Mr. Li really mean what he said?"

Several bigwigs at the yamen gate who were chatting earlier heard the noise and turned around. Among them, the Pudong prefect had a light in his eyes, which was full of hope.

I'm just kidding. If it's really as Li Zehua said, when each subsidiary develops well in the future, they will all build a headquarters.

Wouldn’t this area become one of the few CBD centers in the entire Magic City, or even in the entire country?
“I can’t give a clear commitment at the moment, but an 88-story building is indeed not enough. Adding more floors is not cost-effective. I hope the leaders will forgive me.

The development of enterprises cannot keep up with the construction speed of big cities for the time being, and we are the ones holding them back."

Everyone laughed, except the people at the gate of the yamen, who kept silent, especially the prefect who had just asked the question. After consulting with the person next to him, he pointed to the south.

Obviously, they took Li Zehua's words to heart.

This is no joke, because the entire Qingyun Group is expanding too fast, especially its Pinxixi group buying platform and Famao Group, the prospects of which are bright.

When running a business, there is a possibility of investment failure.

But scanning a QR code will become the cornerstone of monopoly no matter how you look at it, and this is felt most deeply by the government officials in Shanghai.

Because the headquarters of the country's mainstream express delivery companies are all here, hundreds of millions of QR code carriers are running right under their noses every day, and every five cents can mean hundreds of millions of dollars in patent income.

Its future application scenarios, according to predictions by relevant economists, experts and financial institutions, will cover every corner of social production, life and material exchange.

The future is limitless!
Haven’t you seen that Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Walmart, and even Goldman Sachs and Citigroup are all running over here eagerly, intending to seek cooperation?
A 1500% stake worth 1 million US dollars was not taken seriously by the giants at all. However, Qingyun Group refused to give in and neither raised the price nor gave more shares.

The main goal is to share the benefits equally.

I don't know if it's because of the host country or some other reason, but whenever Qingyun Group negotiates about QR code cooperation in Europe and the United States, it will bring in the Shanghai government. Not only did it reveal all its cards, but it also gave the European and American companies 15% of their shares as a token of its loyalty. Shanghai also knows that it can't keep this thing by itself, so it also brought in the National Security Commission to negotiate.

Several major mainstream players in the world have come together to talk not about the future but the present, because they want to replace the barcode market with QR codes, and this is where the biggest variable lies.

This has never happened in the past life, but with Li's advance planning and the acquisition of such a huge alliance of interests, how could he let go of the barcode market?

This is a huge market worth tens of billions of dollars every year. No one here needs to do anything. For example, the University of Tokyo only needs to issue an order to eliminate barcodes.

The production and living material trading terminals, including Walmart and Amazon, also have the motivation to reshape the underlying market, because they hold shares in the QR code patent company.

Li Zehua is not greedy. His bottom line for the shares of the European and American Code Group is 5-10%. He reserves 15% for domestic use and sells all of the remaining 75%.

It's not the one with the highest bid who wins, but the one with the ability who gets it. Even Coca-Cola, KFC and McDonald's can come up to get a piece of the pie. If you count them all, there are at least fifty or sixty shareholders.

The stronger ones get 2% or 5%, while the smaller ones naturally only get 1%. The group did not try to gain control and day-to-day management rights, and adopted a full professional manager management model.

He had only one request, which was to retain the final veto power so that he could kick out any company at a critical moment.

This bizarre agreement really gave headaches to all the companies involved in the negotiations, but it was also a prerequisite for cooperation. No matter whether it was adding money or providing other conveniences, Qingyun just wouldn't give in.

With the support of the University of Tokyo behind them, they could not force their way out. Several foreign negotiation teams got together and discussed for a long time, and finally had to accept the deal with a pinch of their nose.

The only difference is that the vote has been changed so that it can only be used for two persons per year at most. If it is not used in the same year, it will not be accumulated and will become invalid after the expiration date.

After comprehensive consideration of interests, I was forced to compromise...

What is God's gift?

That's it.

With a fixed income of 10%, if it can completely replace barcodes, the market value of patent income alone will be hundreds of billions per year.

Not to mention the expected revenue from other new markets. The guaranteed income for the next twenty years will be tens of billions, and there will not be much operating cost. This kind of company will be a guest of honor in any region.

Because it’s a sure win!
There is no telling how many powerful forces are eyeing this piece of cake, openly or secretly. As Qingyun Group's other businesses are developing well, no one dares to touch them for the time being.

When one day the Qingyun Group starts to go downhill and regards the shares of Famao Group as a lifeline, it is destined to lose these shares.

The Pudong government also noticed this and tried their best to win him over, even offering the land at a very low price, with the main goal of first grabbing the land for themselves.

Now that the chairman of Qingyun Group has said that the site is too small and will restrict future development, the local government does not mind reserving land in the surrounding area for the second phase in advance.

"I take back what I just said. You are so bold to think and say what you want. What if you fail to fulfill your promise in the future? How will it end?"

Wang Jianning couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "I really don't know whether to say you are young and ignorant, or young and frivolous."

In just a few words, it involves a fixed investment of tens of billions. I'm afraid only the person in front of me dares to treat it casually, because it seems that he makes money too fast.

Lin Wenhui didn't say a word from beginning to end, because he thought so too. The number of employees in Qingyun Group who paid social security, five insurances and one fund was too large.

Especially in the future, Honor Electronics, Panda, Dajiang, Travel Group, and Map Navigation Group will have a large number of scientific researchers. The original AutoNavi Map alone has nearly two thousand people.

Pinxixi E-Commerce has recently proposed a plan to establish a 2,000-person scientific research team. Together with other companies, the number of administrative staff and scientific research personnel at the headquarters alone will reach tens of thousands in the future.

An 88-story headquarters building really can’t hold it all!

Those who knew the inside story kept silent, and they were not worried about the company's profitability and financing speed, if it were not for the chairman himself's unbridled spending, he would have easily made large investments of hundreds of millions.

Today, the company’s account funds can support the construction of two or three buildings at the same time without any pressure.

"The group company will have to separate and operate independently sooner or later. The location advantage of this piece of land is quite good. In the future, we can really consider acquiring a few more pieces of land in the surrounding area as supplements."

Li Zehua is also very satisfied with the future planning of the government office. With one line planned and one applied for, maybe in a few years this place will be the intersection of two subway lines, making it convenient to go anywhere.

Together with the projects of Yida and Longfor, as well as cooperative projects with other local real estate developers, it is planned to provide support for more than 3 commercial residential units within a radius of five kilometers.

Supporting living, educational and medical resources are being coordinated for relocation and construction. In the future, this area will surely become the core area of ​​the entire Pudong.

The only problem is that commercial resources are a little scarce. Yida Plaza can only be said to be makeshift. Looking at the entire Magic City, its business positioning is not even among the top five.

"The headquarters on the 88th floor, and the headquarters of other groups on the 66th floor, all the stars surround the moon..."

Li Zehua continued to give instructions, and everyone was in high spirits listening to his grand blueprint.

Only Qin Lang, who was following at the back, made Zeng Haiyang feel bored and empty inside.

"There's a high probability that Hummingbird and Chimo will not be able to make it, especially Hummingbird, which is destined to stay in Minhang. It's too good to enjoy such a good headquarters."

Qin Lang had no choice but to respond to Zeng Haiyang's complaints, "It's because the logistics industry wants to pursue convenient transportation.

The same goes for food. The closer the restaurant and agricultural service plans are to the city's edge, the greater the advantages. It is impossible for the main business to be in Songjiang in the future and the headquarters to be in Pudong.

The distance covered is hundreds of kilometers, so it’s difficult to handle urgent matters.”

At this point, Qin Lang suddenly laughed, "In fact, we are not the most unlucky ones. Look at the guy in the north. He just sent out a notice to serve as the chairman of Hummingbird Crowdsourcing.

I guess I will only be happy for a few seconds, and then I will have to pack my bags and go to the Northwest to blow the dust. Not to mention that I won't have a share in the new headquarters, it's even a question whether I can go back to Shanghai for the New Year.

Crowdsourcing companies also have to relocate, but not to the core area, but to the suburbs, where it will be difficult to meet in person in the future.”

Sure enough, there is no harm without comparison, and happiness is also achieved through comparison. Upon hearing this, Zeng Haiyang's sorrow was swept away and he burst into laughter.

Who else could be the unlucky guy besides Yang Zhichao?

He is probably at the headquarters of the Yanjing branch at this moment. After receiving the notice, he was cursing while packing his luggage and preparing to run away.

"Speaking of which, the business development progress in the northwest is too slow. Except for a few cities like Chang'an, the business volume in most other regions is like a joke."

“Let’s look at it in two steps. Even without economic benefits, it can still become a source of talent!

The Human Resources Department dispatched dozens of work teams to the Northwest region at once, sending out tens of thousands of people every month. It is said that it is also cooperating with hundreds of vocational and technical colleges in the local area.

We specialize in training talents in mechanical maintenance, driving, catering, and distribution and dispatching. We invest so much every year for the future.”

Zeng Haiyang has been to the Northwest. The long-distance emergency training marches of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers left two fixed impressions: lack of water and windy sand.

“Training in the Northwest is much cheaper than in other areas.”

After Qin Lang finished speaking, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, Minhang's temporary headquarters with more than 30 floors will be renovated after the New Year and we should move in. Why are you Fengniao the only one who hasn't made any move?"

Zeng Haiyang had a bitter face, wanting to cry but without tears, "Don't mention it, you all move out, only Hummingbird will continue to stay in Qingyun Industrial Park, and when you move to the new headquarters in the future, Hummingbird will move in.

It's because we don't have any technical skills and are not taken seriously. "

Qin Lang didn't know how to comfort him for a moment. He glanced around subconsciously and quickly changed the subject, "Everyone in front has left, hurry up and catch up."

When someone is sad, someone else is happy.

For example, the heads of various logistics departments were all smiling and pointing at the drawings, imagining the joy of moving to the new headquarters in the future. (End of this chapter)
