I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 327 The Extravagant Office Building
After chatting for a few more minutes, Fang Qingye stopped bothering Wei Xinghua and the others and followed Li Li downstairs back to their original office.

“Let’s go take a look at the office buildings now,” Fang Qingye said.

"Okay, boss, please wait a moment. I'll call the leasing company first," Li Li said quickly.

After taking care of everything, Li Li put on her down jacket and followed Fang Qingye downstairs.

Fang Qingye came from Yanjing this time without a car, so the two of them took a taxi towards Pudong.

Sitting in the taxi, Fang Qingye asked Li Li, "Have you gotten your driver's license yet?"

"We got it! Xinghua and I got it together."

“Alright, let’s buy one for Dr. Wei this time, and one for the company too. Li Li, what kind of car do you think the company should buy?” Fang Qingye asked casually.

Li Li thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "How about the Passat? If you think it's too expensive, the Hyundai Yanjing is also a good option."

"Huh? Our company's first official car is this?" Fang Qingye turned to look at the girl: "You're the company's CFO, it's too undignified for you to drive this. At the very least, it should be an Audi A6L."

Wow.
Li Li was overjoyed.

No more squeezing onto buses or taking the subway, just drive yourself!

And it's a luxury car!

Hmph! Next time I see Zhang Xuhao and the others, will they still laugh at me?

In the past, Li Li would sometimes go to Ele.me to handle business, and they would jokingly say that a dignified CFO was actually taking the company shuttle bus.

Ele.me expanded rapidly, and senior management personnel like Zhang Xuhao were also provided with company cars, but they were all Passat series.

Fang Qingye, unaware of the girl's ulterior motives, continued, "Once we move to the new office location, including Tomorrow Cube, we'll buy a batch of cars and hire drivers. The company needs to look like a company and be more professional."

Hearing Fang Qingye's words, Li Li felt a surge of pride.

I finally look like a CFO!

Both office buildings that Li Li was interested in were in Pudong New Area, one of which was located in the eastern part of Pudong, a somewhat remote location.

Another location near Lujiazui is the famous Shanghai International Finance Center.

Fang Qingye arrived here first.

These are two twin towers, each over 50 stories high, located in the Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone. The architectural design is inspired by the eternal brilliance of a diamond, radiating dazzling and captivating light day and night.

Fang Qingye and Li Li are now standing on the 38th floor of Building B. Next to them is a middle-aged man surnamed Wu, who is an employee of Shencheng Xianyou Real Estate Co., Ltd. They are in charge of leasing.

"Mr. Fang, I don't need to go into details about the environment here; you've already seen it. It not only has twin towers of Grade A office buildings, but also a high-end shopping mall, a five-star hotel, and luxury serviced apartments, providing your company with comprehensive services," Manager Wu said.

"Moreover, this place is located in the core area of ​​Lujiazui, opposite the Jin Mao Tower and adjacent to the Zhengda Plaza to the west. The expansive view is breathtaking. The waves of the Huangpu River, the vitality of Lujiazui's green spaces, and the bustling scene of the surrounding commercial districts are all within sight."

"Office facilities, including chairs, sofas, and all necessary furniture, provide you with a comfortable and efficient working environment."

"Many well-known domestic companies work in this building: CITIC Securities, Ernst & Young, Wells Fargo Bank, Korea Development Bank," Manager Wu rattled off a long list of company names.

He spoke eloquently, but Fang Qingye didn't listen at all.

What's good to hear?

He also worked here in his previous life!
Back then, he was just an ordinary employee, but now he's the company's boss!

"How big is the area?" Fang Qingye interrupted Manager Wu's incessant chatter and asked.

"Mr. Li has his eye on an 890-square-meter apartment. I'll take you there to see it," Manager Wu said hurriedly. "890 square meters? Are there any apartments larger than that?" Fang Qingye asked.

Upon hearing this, Manager Wu's smile widened, and he quickly replied, "Yes, 1200 square meters and 1700 square meters."

"Take me to see the 1700 square meter area."

"Okay, Mr. Fang, Mr. Li, please follow me." Manager Wu hurriedly led the way.

"Boss, is it really necessary to make it that big?" Li Li whispered from behind. "Xinghua and I have both calculated that 890 square meters is enough for both Tuofang Investment and Tomorrow Cube to move in."

Fang Qingye glanced at the girl indifferently: "Aren't you considering that you'll be hiring more people in the future? What will you do then when there's nowhere to sit?"

"Besides, shouldn't someone like Dr. Wei, and you, the CFO, at least have a private room? What kind of talk is it to share an office with other employees?"

"what?"

In fact, when Li Li made the calculations, apart from the boss having a single room, the other senior managers all shared rooms with one other person.

The room is a full 30 square meters; it would be a waste for just one person to sit there.

I never expected the boss would want me to have a room all to myself!
The boss is so generous!
Fang Qingye arrived at the 1700-square-meter suite, which was divided into areas of different sizes. After looking at the room's decoration, he was quite satisfied with it.

Once the furniture is in place, we can add more greenery.

It's okay. Our own nursery is too far away. We can rent some from Shi Guangrong's nursery. We can call him when we have time and ask him to arrange for someone to deliver some.

"How much per square meter?" Fang Qingye asked.

“Right now it’s 11 yuan per square meter per day, which would be 6825500 yuan a year. I can give you a discount to 680 million yuan,” Manager Wu hurriedly said.

"Of course, the price may increase in the future, but if you rent for a longer period, we can offer a discount!"

Fang Qingye nodded after listening.

This is considered relatively expensive for an office building, but it's in the core area of ​​Lujiazui, so it's worth the price.

“Okay, we’ll rent for five years.” Fang Qingye immediately decided, “Li Li, tomorrow you’ll handle the paperwork and sign the contract. Move Tuofang Technology and Tomorrow Cube over first, so Dr. Wei and the others don’t have to squeeze into a small conference room to discuss things.”

Fang Qingye didn't want to waste her time on trivial matters.

Manager Wu immediately beamed with joy.

He really is a big boss, so extravagant!

But I've never heard of Tuofang Commerce & Technology Investment Co., Ltd. before.
The boss's words are orders, and although Li Li, the CFO, felt a little distressed, she had to obey unconditionally.

After the two left the building, Li Li thought for a moment and then asked, "Boss, shall we go and take a look at another one?"

"It's already decided, what's the point of looking at it again? It's a waste of time!" Fang Qingye replied.

"Then why rent for five years, boss?" the girl asked curiously.

"Within five years, we plan to build our own office building in Pudong," Fang Qingye said calmly.

"Boss, we're going to renovate the office building ourselves?" Li Li was extremely shocked.

“Right, what’s the point of always renting from others?” Fang Qingye looked at the skyscrapers in Lujiazui.

"One of these buildings will definitely belong to Topway Technology in the future!"
