The layout of the interior of Wan Hai Car Dealership was transparent and luxurious. There were also robot models in the exhibition hall. It could be seen that the manager was very attentive.
Qiao Tian proposed to send Cao Su, but as the general manager of the car shop, Xu Lanqing did not dare to let him offend a big customer. The group of people surrounded Cao Su and waited in front of the dedicated passage on the first floor. After a while, the staff in the garage drove a sky-blue Bentley over.
Cao Su's figure was reflected in the shiny car. In a quintessentially British style, the vehicle had an elegant temperament. It looked tempting.
"I'll have a few words with Xiao Qiao alone," Cao Su said to Xu Lanqing and the others.
"Oh, okay, okay."
After the others had retreated a few meters away, Qiao Tian looked at Cao Su eagerly, waiting for his verdict.
Cao Su glanced at the ceiling that was shining with the morning sun in the distance and said, "Brother Tiger, don't talk about my situation in the group. Can you do that?"
To be honest, everyone had a need to act tough. Didn't you hear that King Xiang once said: Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like brocade clothes at night? However, he didn't need to rely on others to brag about him in the group chat. This kind of method of showing off his divinity in front of others was too low-level.
He wasn't interested in ruling Brother Tiger, but scaring this kid wasn't a bad idea. What he really wanted to explain was this matter.
Qiao Tian was dumbfounded. He thought that Cao Su wanted to "judge" him. Only now did he know that he was just a fart in Cao Su's eyes, completely insignificant. But he had to save himself!
"Brother Cao, don't worry, don't worry!" Qiao Tian repeatedly promised and said, "Brother Cao, when I sell cars here, I often see this situation. Some of the cars looked new, but they had actually racked up a frightening number of kilometers."
Cao Su was immediately amused. Of course, he understood that Qiao Tian was not talking about Wanhai Car Dealership but driving.
Qiao Tian observed his expression and continued, "There are many people who test drive new cars, but only one person buys a car."
Cao Su laughed.
"Brother Cao, from my observation, all men love to drive. It didn't matter if he does it with his hands or his mouth."
"Haha!" Cao Su couldn't help but laugh. He took out a Chinese cigarette from his pouch and threw it to him. "Brother Tiger, you're pretty good. You can create a program on a live broadcast platform: Brother Tiger Talks Cars."
Qiao Tian hurriedly took the cigarette with both hands and took out a lighter to light it for Cao Su with a smile. He heaved a long sigh of relief. His life experience was useful. Most of the time, if the rich were amused, the matter would not be a matter.
"Brother Cao, I've only read about it on the Internet. There was another joke. Why wouldn't rich people marry beautiful women who were out playing? Private use of public cars will be punished by the heavens!"
F*ck! Brother Tiger, you sure are a talent! Cao Su smiled and patted Qiao Tianze's shoulder. "Alright, goodbye!" He waved Qin Yuhan over. "Little Qin, help me send that Ferrari to the Kempinski Hotel parking lot in Nanshan."
"Okay, Brother Cao." Qin Yuhan smiled sweetly."
Cao Su sat in the Bentley. The handmade accessories and center console that was full of technology displayed the luxury of this car silently. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if one was still in the water.
The ignition started.
Cao Su stepped on the accelerator and felt the strong push on his back. He drove out of Wan Hai Car Dealership along the dedicated passage of the auto show.
The blue sky and white clouds were beautiful. There were also flourishing skyscrapers in the distance.
One day, I will conquer this bustling international city!
It was the morning of August 17th, 2013.
Cao Su found a gourmet restaurant in Futian's central district for lunch as he drove his Bentley. After a search, he decided that his company's office space would be located in Nanshan's most prosperous business circle, the China Resources Building, the tallest building on the seaside avenue.
The China Resources Building was 392.5 meters tall, with 66 floors above ground and five underground. The exterior was made of multi-sided triangular glass panels, and the top of the tower was a circular plane with a sharp point. It was also known as "Spring Bamboo Shoot," symbolizing endless vitality that was rising steadily.
Most of the time, the location of a company's office constructed the impression of the company's strength. There was no need for him to consider the cost in this aspect.
The godly tycoons wanted to make full use of the advantage of having a lot of money. Doing business and running a company should be a high-profile and open path. It wasn't a small business that expanded reproduction. It was like treading on thin ice.
At about three in the afternoon, Cao Su was in the office of the China Resources Building property company to complete the lease contract. He had rented two floors that were more than 4000 square meters, located on the 31st and 32nd floors, respectively. The lease was for five years.
The monthly rental was 2.5 million. There was a free 15 months of property management fees.
The thirty-second floor was fully furnished, with water, electricity, and air conditioning. It could be put into use immediately.
Yin Huining, the property manager of China Resources Building, smiled and handed the door card to the tall, slightly plump man in front of him. He looked unfamiliar! However, it was normal for there to be crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the deep city. "President Cao, don't you want to consider buying the first floor as an investment?"
"I will not," said Cao Su with a smile. He shook hands with Yin Huining and said goodbye.
How could the appreciation of commercial real estate be faster than the appreciation of residential real estate? This conclusion could be drawn by paying little attention to the property market's performance over the years.
He already had a plan in his heart.
One billion to invest 500 million to buy a house.
After driving out of the bamboo shoots, Cao Su called the headhunter Chang Ya and told her the company's office location. There was no need to notify the agent at the registration company. They just had to send someone to change the registered address.
"Okay, President Cao. I'll arrange an interview after your company is registered."
Cao Su turned from the main road into the luxurious residential area nearby. Before buying an investment property, he had to buy a villa for himself. Staying in a hotel all day was not a long-term solution.
Moreover, according to the current housing prices in Shencheng, he would take 500 million yuan and add it to the bank loan to invest in a house. The investments were usually in school districts, two or three houses in areas with high appreciation potential, and so on.
Assuming that a house cost 5 million yuan, and he was aiming for 100 units. This was not a workload that he could handle alone. This was a simple calculation of buying a house in full. In fact, investors would not pay in full when buying a house.
He had to find help!
A tycoon couldn't let his life be stuck in such a mechanical and repetitive routine. Of course, there was a continuous, mechanical, and round-trip movement that the tycoons loved!
Both sides of the street were very quiet, and there were large floors with unique shapes and excellent lighting on both sides of the road. Cao Su drove the car and slowly drove into the villa, Shengshi Mansion, which had opened recently. It was built by Wanke, the leading real estate company in Shencheng.
Walking into the elegant and cool sales center, a beautiful saleswoman quickly greeted him. "Hello, sir!"
Now why was the female salesperson of the villa so beautiful?
If it was a partnership between an intermediary company and the sales department, the average salesperson's commission was about 0.03%. If it was the sales department's own staff, the commission ratio would be around 0.5%. The specific ratio depended on the details.
According to the usual practice, for a villa worth 50 million yuan, the commission from the intermediary sales would be 150,000 yuan. The real estate company's salary amounted to 250,000 yuan. Selling two villas in a year was more than most office workers.
In the summer of 2013, the real estate industry was still booming.
Cao Su nodded at the fair-skinned girl and casually threw a scanner over. "Let me take a look at your villa."
The girl smiled appropriately and exchanged a few pleasantries with Cao Su. "Our Shengshi Residence was newly opened a month ago. Our capital verification requirement is 8 million yuan."
