Chapter 701: Really Cannot Lower the Price

That being said, it is impossible for Zhou Buqi not to pay attention to a large project of several hundred million yuan.

In the hotel at night, Ning Yaxian was taking a bath, moaning, while Zhou Buqi was leaning on the bed and waiting for her, while figuring out what was going on in the Pengcheng headquarters park.

Hearing what Wang Shi said, the total cost of 420 million seems to be a little less.

It must be enough to do it in a satisfactory manner.

It's almost impossible to be as eye-catching as you want.

Zhou Buqi called Zhang Chaoyang and asked, "By the way, didn't you say you were going to take the land to build the building? Did you take it?"

"Here, it's in Tsinghua Science and Technology Park, not far from Sohu Building. How about it? When the building is completed, you move there, and we continue to be neighbors?"

The building that Zhang Chaoyang wanted to build was later the Sohu Media Building.

In the past few years, the state has given great support to Internet companies, and the preferential treatment of land acquisition has been very strong. For example, Ziweixing took a piece of land of 190 mu in Qianhai, Pengcheng, and only spent 180 million. Moreover, the money is still paid in installments, and it is enough to settle it before the end of the year.

So since last year, there has been a new real estate trend...Internet companies encroach on land.

Of course, today's Internet companies are very poor.

Those who are qualified to participate in enclosure sports are the industry giants such as Sohu, Ali, Baidu, Goose Factory, Ziweixing, and Netease.

With the size of Sohu, that number of employees can't even fill the Sohu Building.

The reason why we want to build a Sohu Media Building, and in the future there will be a Sohu Changyou Building... The reason is very simple. Internet companies make real estate, and it is so fucking profitable!

After the Sohu Media Building was built, Sohu used the two floors downstairs for its own use, and rented out the rest. It was like a CBD office building, and the rent was collected. It was a steady and steady business.

This is the Tsinghua Science and Technology Park, where every inch of land is expensive, and it is the facade of Zhongguancun, which cannot be bought with money.

With a big wave of Sohu's hand, it grabbed land, and real estate developers offered 20 times the land price, which was uncompetitive.

Zhou Buqi asked, "How much did it cost?"

"35 million."

"Dollars?"

"No, Huaxia currency, it's very cheap."

"Damn it!" Zhou Buqi couldn't help being shocked, thinking that Lao Zhang's business was too cost-effective, "How big is the area?"

Zhang Chaoyang smiled, "Less than 30 acres."

Zhou Buqi secretly calculated.

30 mu of land is 35 million, and the 190 mu is about 200 million.

Depend on!

It's almost the same as the price of land in Pengcheng!

However, that is the capital, Tsinghua Science and Technology Park, where every inch of land is expensive!

The Pengcheng side is just an undeveloped seaside... There is no comparison with the piece of land that Sohu took.

Oops, what a loss!

If I had known earlier, I would have just negotiated the price with the local government of Pengcheng.

No wonder they were so happy, the green light was given all the way from beginning to end, and the bank lending was also extremely efficient. The matter was finalized in a very short period of time, and then the contract was signed.

but……

From a long-term perspective, Zhou Buqi will definitely not suffer. This is the core area of ​​the Greater Bay Area. Getting such a large piece of land here is like picking up a leak.

In another ten or eight years, the importance of this place will not be much worse than that of Tsinghua Science and Technology Park.

Other high-tech companies want to acquire land, at most twenty or thirty acres.

If you want to get more, you can only go to some leftovers to get land.

The Internet giants in later generations are very ruthless in enclosing them. Just setting up a headquarters park will require enclosing two to three hundred acres of land. The most ruthless ones are Huawei and Ali, building buildings everywhere. For example, Ali has set up several headquarters in Hangzhou, covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand acres, and built headquarters in the capital, Shanghai, Pengcheng and other big cities, with hundreds of acres of land each time.

No real estate company can afford this kind of operation, only high-tech companies can.

Zhou Buqi asked, "After you bought the land, how much is the budget for building the building?"

"Not calculated yet."

"Guess what?"

"Not counting the land price, maybe 200 million."

"so much?"

"Such a good location must be built into a top-level office building, and the office environment must be first-class."

"Is it the decoration environment? Not architectural design?"

Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile: "I knew you were too imaginary, and you still do architectural design... No matter how you build a building, isn't it a building? Employees care about the office environment, not the appearance of the building. Besides, this is the Tsinghua Science and Technology Park. The building is too luxurious, and no one will let it go, it has to match the environment.”

Zhou Buqi pondered for a while, "Okay, I see, I'll ask again."

Then, he called Li Yanhong again.

Baidu bought a piece of land next to Lenovo headquarters in Shangdi last year, about 60 mu. Because it is outside the Fifth Ring Road, the price is relatively low, and it only cost 30 million yuan. It is planned to build the Baidu search box building there to become Baidu's new headquarters, and construction has already started last month.

Zhou Buqi asked him, "What's the budget for this project?"

Li Yanhong told him, "300 million."

A project of 60 mu of land will cost 300 million yuan...

Zhou Buqi knew it all.

I feel that investment should be increased.

I called Wang Shi and sighed, "Old Wang, tell me the truth, is 420 million too tight for this project?"

Wang Shi smiled and said: "It depends on what kind of results you want, how many flowers and fruits you want. But you can rest assured that outsourcing this project to Vanke will cost less than doing it yourself. I can get the lowest procurement in the industry." The price, you are a layman, people have to raise the price severely."

Zhou Buqi said: "That's not what I mean. You can earn as much as you want. This is a business. I think... so, I just thought about it, such a large headquarters park, only invest 420 million in construction costs , is really too little. Counting the land, the total investment is 1 billion, what do you think?"

"ah?"

Wang Shi was taken aback for a moment, not quite daring to believe it.

Are all technology companies so rich now?

A few hundred million, just drop it if you say it?

The total investment is 1 billion yuan. After deducting the land cost of 180 million yuan, the cost of the park is as high as 820 million yuan. If this is placed in the CBD business district, four or five top-notch office buildings can be built!

But in this headquarters park, there is only one office building, and the others are ancillary buildings such as supermarkets, auditoriums, restaurants, and fitness centers. One can be built with a few million yuan, and it doesn't cost too much money.

Zhou Buqi said: "The headquarters building has seven floors above the ground and two floors underground. It must be able to accommodate 5,000 people for office work. The headquarters park is planned to be greener, with sound supporting facilities and its own power supply system. The most important thing is that this Of the 190 mu of land, you only plan for 100 mu of land.”

Wang Shi immediately understood what he meant.

Only develop 100 mu of land, what about the remaining 90 mu?

This is not giving up!

A piece of open space should be set aside for future world-class landmark buildings with an artistic atmosphere.

There is no way, Zhou Buqi can only do this.

The location of this piece of land is too important, the core area of ​​the future Greater Bay Area. As the most attention-grabbing company here, the headquarters park turned out to be a mess and rustic... Isn't this tarnishing the country's image?

Zhou Buqi said: "You are right in one sentence. This place has great prospects and will develop quickly in the future. It will become the economic development center of Pengcheng. But as the center, there is no landmark building. How can this work? ? Such social responsibility, I will bear it!"

Wang Shizhen couldn't say a word.

I feel that this kid is so young and has such a good face. Needless to say, if Ziwei Star has such a grand plan, the local government will definitely be overwhelmed.

From this point of view, it cannot be said that he is stupid, it can only be said that he is too shrewd and too good at exploiting.

In this way, although Ziweixing is only a branch in Pengcheng, the treatment here will not be worse than that of some technology companies with headquarters in the local area. That's a great gift.

"How to plan the remaining 90 acres of land?"

"Football fields, basketball courts, sports fields, um...or you can grow some melons, fruits and vegetables, and supply them directly to the cafeteria, so that employees can eat green food visible to the naked eye."

"Okay, then this case has to be overturned and started again."

"Good job!"

...

Ziweixing now has 720 million yuan on its books.

The total investment of Kepeng City Headquarters Park is 1 billion yuan, but only 420 million yuan has been delivered, and there are still 580 million yuan to be delivered. If this is deducted... there will be no money in the account again.

Gotta make money, gotta make money!

The next afternoon, Zhou Buqi went to the Penguin headquarters with a heavy heart.

In order to prevent Ziwei Star from being dragged down by real estate projects in cash flow, in order not to repeat the mistakes of the giant building... There is no choice but to use penguins.

300 million, clearly marked price!

Declined to counter-offer!

The standard of this negotiation was very high. For Ziwei Star, CEO Zhou Buqi, COO He Yang, Vice President Guo Dan, Vice President Han Leshui, CEO Assistant Wang Xing, and branch manager Pei Yao all participated.

Penguin also attached great importance to it. Three members of the board of directors came and more than a dozen executives attended the meeting.

This is not only a negotiation on price, but also some discussions and plans between the two parties on the future trend and development of the open platform market.

This is the idea proposed by Zhou Buqi.

The market is small, even if the market is monopolized 100%, the benefits are limited. To expand the market, even if it only accounts for 40% of the share, there is still a huge profit margin.

The open platform is still very new in China.

Users don't understand, and neither do developers.

As the two giants in the domestic social networking field, if Friends.com and Qzone can unite, put aside their differences, suspend competition, and jointly promote the development of this market, it will be a particularly important contribution to the country's Internet industry.

It's a pity that penguins who haven't been baptized by the 3Q war don't know what sharing is.

Just thinking about eating alone.

Ziweixing offered two cooperation proposals, but they rejected them, saying that they would harm their own interests. Then Penguin offered three more proposals, which were also rejected by Ziweixing, saying that they lacked the sincerity of cooperation.

At first, the two parties enjoyed themselves happily.

Afterwards, the atmosphere became a little tense.

When it comes to the quotation of 300 million yuan, it is even more pointed. Penguin doesn't want to be taken advantage of, and Ziweixing wants to play hegemony by relying on its technological advantages.

He Yang finally said harshly, "May 23 is the deadline. If an agreement cannot be reached, then Friends.com's open platform will no longer be sold!"

The meeting broke up badly.

But after the meeting, everyone was still very friendly. We had a working dinner together in Penguin’s cafeteria and drank some wine. Both sides talked about work, ideals, and industry structure like old friends.

It seemed that the gunpowder smoke in the conference room just now had never existed.
