Chapter 185 Don't Pity Me!

Chapter 185 Don't Pity Me! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

As a seasoned angler, Su Chao knew that once a fish had taken the bait, it wouldn't get away unless something unexpected happened.

If Wakin Chau glances at the bait, he's doomed.

Su Chao is currently looking at the office space of an advertising company with Sister Hong and Yan Siyuan.

It is located in Hepingli, about five kilometers from Shichahai.

"Isn't this too extravagant!"

This office building is clearly a top-tier Grade A or Grade B building.

The rent must be tens of thousands.

They're a small advertising company, and their normal monthly profit is probably only around 100,000 yuan. Renting a Grade A office building would be too high-profile for them.

I'm working for the landlord for nothing.

This isn't about being stingy; it's just that I feel it's unnecessary right now.

In my past life, I ran a training center and rented an office building that met 5A standards. It had two whole floors and was completely luxuriously decorated.

The better you decorate, the more wealthy people will respect you.

Even if a celebrity comes to give her one-on-one training and charges her 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, she still feels it's a great deal.

Two floors are nothing.

The New Oriental headquarters building is a landmark building with 43 floors and a total construction area of 14 square meters.

That's what you call being rich and powerful.

Su Chao has made this his life's goal.

Why would I rent a building? When I have money, I'll definitely buy a building. If the company needs money in the future, I can sell the building to tide me over.

"This used to be a company's office, but the company restructured and the lease was terminated. We can take it over directly without renovation. The rent is two yuan per square meter. It's about 327 square meters, and the monthly rent is about 20,000 yuan..."

Hongjie explained the situation to Su Chao.

These days, you can rent a place for as little as one dollar or even less, as long as the location is remote enough and the office environment is bad enough.

However, renting a Grade A apartment on the North Third Ring Road for two square meters is indeed considered cheap.

"It's not bad."

Only two yuan!

It's equivalent to deducting more than 20,000 yuan from the monthly revenue for rent and utilities. Once Su Chao got used to the unit price of more than ten yuan every day, he suddenly felt that this place was very appealing.

"I was mainly attracted by their high-end furniture, which would make our advertising company appear very powerful."

Sister Hong has put in a lot of effort; she's been to many places these past few days and used a lot of connections to find out the market situation.

Even though she only makes up 10% of the company, if things continue like this, her income will probably surpass that of the karaoke bar soon.

It's true that being a boss makes more money.

Even 10% of the bosses are fine!

Moreover, her involvement in the advertising company did not prevent her from continuing to manage the karaoke bar.

You can receive both incomes.

"That's right. Even if the furniture is a bit old, it shows that we have a rich cultural heritage."

Su Chao looked around and was completely satisfied.

There is an office area for 16 people, a meeting room for 10 people, 3 private offices, 2 tea rooms, as well as restrooms and a tea room...

Solid wood furniture and genuine leather sofas are everywhere; these state-owned enterprise executives really know how to enjoy life.

Renting over 300 square meters will also get you four exclusive parking spaces.

With over 300 public parking spaces, there's no need to worry about customers coming to discuss business not having a place to park.

Su Chao nodded.

Hongjie went to sign a contract with the property management company. From the moment she signed, this place became the territory of Yuanmeng Advertising Creative Co., Ltd.

With strong personal connections, it's possible to negotiate a deposit of two months' rent plus three months' rent in advance, similar to state-owned enterprises, which amounts to 100,000 yuan.

Then you just need to pay the rent every quarter.

The company currently has a little over 500,000 yuan in its accounts, so its funds are relatively plentiful.

“It’s not safe for you to be riding a motorcycle around like this. Hongjie and I think the company can provide you with a car, but you’ll have to talk to Ms. Lin about it yourself.”

Yan Siyuan and Su Chao sat and chatted in the new office space.

He was deeply moved.

A few months ago, Su Chao was a struggling artist who had just come to Beijing to make his way in the world.

Now he's actually his boss.

Su Chao's heart skipped a beat; this was indeed a good idea.

Why buy your own car?

Buying under a company name can also legally and compliantly save on taxes.

However, when Thor was mentioned, Su Chao couldn't help but sigh: "I owe Miss Lin so much!"

you do not say.

I still owe 4,000 yuan on a 5,000 yuan guitar installment plan.

The loan of 50,000 yuan has not been repaid at all.

In addition to the 50,000 yuan advance payment for setting up the advertising company, Su Chao now owes people more than 100,000 yuan.

Not to mention, he even bought Su Chao a Rolex.

Worry!

If you want to sleep with me, just say so. I don't have any bottom lines.

If one payment isn't enough to pay off the debt, then I'll pay it off several more times. I'm young, I can handle it.

"Ahem, Miss Lin is good to you, just don't let her down."

Yan Siyuan still remembered Su Chao saying that he had several childhood sweethearts. Although he knew it was nonsense, he still had to remind him.

"Haha~"

Su Chao smirked. How could he possibly be worthy of Thor's favor?

That scumbag woman bought him a Rolex, and she didn't even try to take advantage of him. She's so heartless.

After that topic, the two chatted about currently popular car models.

In the TV series "Lurking", Yu Zecheng was able to have a romantic relationship with the station chief, all because of Stiepunk.

In the movie "Penetration", Xu Zhongyi starts giving Cadillacs as gifts.

For men, cars are a timeless and popular topic.

I definitely shouldn't buy a Xiali costing 100,000.

It's supposed to be the face of an advertising company, so what's the point of having the entire taxi company use the same model? And then there's the Lada, which is used in taxis in many places.

To put it in a later way, Qin not only unified the six states, but also unified ride-hailing services.

I'd like to know the extent of the psychological trauma experienced by owners of the BYD Qin.

The two chatted for a while, and then Sister Hong returned after completing the formalities.

When asked if she had any advice, she replied without hesitation: "If you have money, go for an Audi; if you don't, go for a Santana. Is there even a question?"

Got it.

People these days definitely prefer Santana.

The Santana has a lot of imported parts, and most of the components are from Germany.

A few years ago, they were extremely sought after, and you couldn't buy them even if you wanted to.

You need to use your credit limit to buy it.

For business owners in Pudong, the new district allocates a quota for a Santana car, and it's easy to resell it for an extra 10,000 to 20,000 yuan after obtaining the quota.

The company has 500,000 in its account. 100,000 was spent on rent, and 200,000 was spent on a car, so only 200,000 is left.

We need to get to work quickly, or we'll really be living off our savings.

Fortunately, Lu Bu managed to secure a contract with a copycat company to produce a copycat game, with a budget of 30 yuan and the requirement that Su Chao must star in it.

Just bring Gao Yuanyuan with you then.

Hongjie has three advertisements: one for mosquito coils with a budget of 30 yuan and an interesting storyline; another for purified water with a budget of 35 yuan and handsome men and beautiful women and musical elements; and the last one for a sports brand with a budget of 35 yuan and starring Su Chao.

These are all high-quality advertising listings that have been screened.

"They require handsome men and beautiful women, and also musical elements. This budget is not enough. Let them raise their price. Let's say we find the songwriters who have worked with Princess and Andy Lau to write songs, and let them raise it to 45. If they are satisfied with the songs in my new album, we can lower it to 40."

When Su Chao saw Wahaha, he immediately had an idea.

I remember Wang Lihong had an advertisement for Wahaha, and the song was "The One I Love".

It was a very popular song at the time.

Even thirty years from now, it won't sound too outdated.

Su Chao knows how to buy this song.

I'm going to Taiwan in a few days, so I can ask Wang Lihong for help or Lou Nanwei, who was involved in writing the lyrics.

Lou Nanwei's representative works include Chen Ming's "I Want to Find You", Lin Zhixuan's version of "Exaggeration", and Zhou Xun's "Drifting", etc.

Wang Lihong and Lou Nanwei are both employees of Sony.

Su Chao can write songs for Princess Diana and Andy Lau, and his albums have even sold in Taiwan. If you visit their company, you certainly won't be turned away.

For mosquito coils, we could use the creative approach from the Lanju (兰菊) advertisement.

It was a group of tribal natives singing and dancing in the jungle.

Then some idiot patted the beautiful woman's butt because there was a mosquito on it.

I have a very deep impression of this from when I was a child.

At the time, I felt that this advertisement was not proper and deserved severe criticism.

Now I think that butt is actually quite straight.

The sports brand wants Su Chao to have an image of skateboarding, so as long as Su Chao is involved, they can design any scenes and actions without any problem.

The three then discussed the details further.

Su Chao was responsible for writing the plan and arranging manpower for filming and post-production, while the other two didn't really have much to do.

Otherwise, how could Su Chao account for 70%?

However, Su Chao didn't need to worry about things like adding things to the office or installing telephone lines.

Sister Hong said she would leave everything to him.

Su Chao only needs to state his requirements.

On his way back, Su Chao received a call from Jiang Shan.

The woman immediately complained that Su Chao hadn't invited her to his birthday party, clearly having heard something about it.

"Sis, you're so busy, I wouldn't dare bother you with such a small matter!"

Su Chao quickly replied.

Jiang Shan is a popular celebrity, and they don't have a deep relationship. Su Chao doesn't have the nerve to invite her to a karaoke bar to celebrate his birthday.

"Hmph, stop making excuses, you must have forgotten about me."

Jiang Shan was very dissatisfied.

You've already hugged and kissed me, but now that the music video is over, you're denying it.

"Sister, I was wrong. I'll treat you to a meal sometime!"

Su Chao quickly begged for mercy, as he simply couldn't handle such an enthusiastic older sister.

"You're really sincere. Our music video is out. Give me your address and I'll send you the disc. You can also watch it on music channels. I didn't expect you to be so photogenic."

Jiang Shan's main purpose in making the call was definitely not to interrogate her.

"Oh, I've been looking forward to it! You can just send it to my office..."

Su Chao gave the address of the advertising company.

"and then?"

Jiang Shan then added another sentence.

"Oh? I'm going to Hong Kong in a couple of days, I'll treat you to dinner when I get back!"

Su Chao thought back for a moment and realized it was just about eating.

When are you free?

We definitely need to schedule a time.

"You released a new album, didn't you even send me a copy? I always buy them myself from record stores..."

It's obvious that Jiang Shan listened to Su Chao's new album.

That's why she was so enthusiastic towards Su Chao.
