Chapter 261 Taking Over Lean Real Estate
Early on Monday morning, the streets were filled with busy figures.
There are small vendors pushing tricycles selling breakfast, and there are workers dressed neatly and preparing to squeeze into the bus to go to work.
His eyes passed through the car window and fell on the people in front of him. Lu Yiming suddenly felt clear-headed, as if he was recalling his past life.
Once upon a time, he was one of them, rushing around every day without a moment of leisure, but most of the benefits he generated were taken away by others and turned into various brand-name bags, or Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
Class is like an invisible cage that traps everyone inside.
Fortunately, in this life, relying on the information advantage of foresight, Lu Yiming was able to get rid of this humble fate early and successfully joined the rentier class who can live comfortably without working.
Lu Yiming sighed in his heart: In the past, I could only stand in the audience and look up at others, but now I am standing on the stage and it is the turn of others to look up to me.
Haizhu Building is the leading office building in Baiyun City. Located in the city center where every inch of land is valuable, the land alone is worth hundreds of millions, so the rent is very high. Only companies that are not short of money dare to rent an office here to prove their strength.
Even for many people, being able to come here to work is a matter of face.
The Rolls-Royce Silver Angel that Lu Yiming was riding in appeared at the entrance of Haizhu Building. When the horizontal bar at the entrance of the parking lot was raised, the property management in the building quickly knew that Lin Shuyi's car had arrived.
After all, Lin Shuyi is now the daughter of the richest man in Baiyun City, so she will definitely be the focus of attention.
After learning the news, the property manager Wei Ronghua did not dare to delay at all and took the elevator to the next floor to greet him.
After all, the visit of the richest man's daughter is no small matter.
However, what Wei Ronghua did not expect was that the person who got out of Lin Shuyi's exclusive car was not Lin Shuyi herself, but a young man who looked very unfamiliar.
Although it was not Lin Shuyi herself, the one who was qualified to use Lin Shuyi's exclusive car was definitely not an ordinary person. Wei Ronghua still came forward, bowed slightly, and said in a flattering manner: "Sir, good morning, I am Wei Ronghua, the property manager of Haizhu Building, and I am happy to serve you."
Lu Yiming did not expect that when he came here, the property manager would come out to greet him in person, which saved him a lot of trouble.
He looked calm and asked casually, "Hello, which floor is the office of Jingyi Real Estate located on?"
Wei Ronghua immediately replied enthusiastically: "It's on the twelfth floor. I'll take you up."
For him, although he did not know Lu Yiming, Lu Yiming was qualified to use Lin Shuyi's exclusive car. He was his distinguished guest and must not be neglected.
Lu Yiming nodded politely and said, "Thank you."
Wei Ronghua said quickly, "Of course, of course. Sir, if you need anything, just let me know."
The two of them got on the elevator, and Lu Yiming asked casually, "How big is the office area of Jingyi Real Estate?"
Although Wei Ronghua was very surprised why Lu Yiming asked this, he still said, "Probably more than 200 square meters."
Lu Yiming smiled and then teased: "That's really small. What about the rent? How much is the monthly rent here?"
"Twenty yuan per square meter per month."
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not cheap."
As they were talking, the elevator had already reached the twelfth floor. Lu Yiming directly made things clear: "Just yesterday, I bought Jingyi Real Estate."
Wei Ronghua was immediately filled with awe.
Lu Yiming continued, "Now, I want to rent a whole floor here as an office. Is that possible?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Ronghua was immediately delighted and said, "The lease for the seventh floor is about to expire, and the tenant does not intend to renew the lease. If you need anything, I can help mediate and get them to move out earlier."
Lu Yiming was very satisfied with Wei Ronghua's attitude. He nodded and said to him, "Thank you for your help."
"What are you talking about, sir?"
If Wei Ronghua's previous respect for Lu Yiming was based on the influence of Lin Shuyi and Jingwan Group, then now, Wei Ronghua's humility towards Lu Yiming is purely due to the personal charm exuded by Lu Yiming.
Because of what Lu Yiming said, his year-end bonus this year will increase significantly.
"Sir, this is my business card. If you need anything, just call me. I'm always here."
Lu Yiming took Wei Ronghua's hand and gave him his business card. He praised her and said, "You are very thorough. That's good."
"Thank you Mr. Lu for the compliment."
Today is Monday, and most companies hold regular meetings in the morning, and Lean Real Estate is no exception.
Seeing that it was already past nine o'clock, Lean Real Estate Project Manager Zhang Jinlai frowned and said, "Why hasn't Mr. Ge come yet? Didn't he always come early for the weekly meetings?"
He took out his cell phone and prepared to call Ge Youcai.
Just at this moment, Lu Yiming pushed open the door and walked in.
He heard what Zhang Jinlai had just said, smiled slightly, and said, "No need to call, your CEO Ge won't be here. From today on, I have the final say here."
At the scene, more than a dozen Lean Real Estate executives looked at Lu Yiming in unison.
Especially Zhang Jinlai, the general manager, couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
Lu Yiming looked calm and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu Yiming. From today on, I am your boss. At four o'clock yesterday afternoon, I bought Jingyi Real Estate from Ge Youcai."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.
"The company was sold?"
"What's going on here, boss?"
"How come you just…"
Jingyi Real Estate is not a listed company, but a private enterprise, so Ge Youcai, as the boss, does not need to inform the employees of the company about any decision he makes. But out of obligation, Ge Youcai should at least say something, right?
"Is this true?"
"You won't lie to us, will you?"
"Jingyi Real Estate has acquired several plots of land recently. I thought Boss Ge was making some big moves, but it turns out the company sold it? Why do I feel like there's something fishy going on?"
"Why didn't Mr. Ge tell us that he sold the company?"
"Boss Ge has always been very proud. Could it be that the reason for selling the company is hard to talk about, so he simply doesn't say it?"
After all, Ge Youcai did not show up, and everyone had a lot of speculations, but no one knew the specific situation.
Lu Yiming did not speak, he silently observed the words and actions of these people. Listening to their discussions, Lu Yiming could find out the status of Ge Youcai among these employees.
The bosses of many companies do not treat their employees as human beings, so when the employees hear that the boss has been "fired", I'm afraid the first thing they do is to cheer and applaud.
However, the employees of Lean Real Estate are all speculating on the reasons why Ge Youcai sold the company, and they are quite concerned about him. This shows that Ge Youcai is a pretty qualified boss. At least he is a bit humane and does not let his employees regard him as an enemy.
But this is definitely not a good thing for Lu Yiming. If everyone in the company misses their old boss, how can he completely control Lean Real Estate?
Therefore, the most important thing right now is to find a way to eliminate Ge Youcai's influence on the company's employees. As for other things, they can be put aside for the time being.
After observing silently for a while, Lu Yiming waved his hand and said in a clear voice: "Everyone, be quiet. My acquisition of Jingyi Real Estate is just an ordinary business acquisition. Don't think too much about it."
Although this is what they say, many people actually do not believe this explanation.
After all, no one is a fool. Seeing that Lean Real Estate was about to make a lot of money, the company was suddenly sold at this juncture, and it was sold so hastily. If nothing happened in the middle, I am afraid no one would believe it if it was told to others.
As the second-in-command of the company, General Manager Zhang Jinlai's eyes revealed deep concern about the company's future.
Lean Real Estate's performance was booming, but it suddenly changed its flag. Are you telling me this is an ordinary business acquisition?
Zhang Jinlai felt that the guy in front of him must have used dishonorable means to take over Jingyi Real Estate. As the former boss, Ge Youcai was too ashamed to face these old employees, so he chose to disappear.
As the old saying goes, those who eat meat are vulgar and cannot plan for the long term.
There is an old saying that goes, "A man without a beard cannot do things well."
At Lu Yiming's current age, it's hard to believe what he says when he stands here.
Is he the only one who can manage lean real estate?
Is he the only one who can make business decisions?
I guess he can't even understand the most basic financial statements.
Lu Yiming didn't care what these people thought. He went straight to Ge Youcai's seat and sat down. He glanced around and began to give orders skillfully: "Is everyone here? Let's start the meeting."
Zhang Jinlai stood up nervously: "Wait a minute, I need to go to the bathroom."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly, his expression showing no emotion: "Well, go quickly and come back soon."
Zhang Jinlai left the office, ran into the bathroom, closed the door, and called Ge Youcai.
" Boss Ge, it's me, Zhang Jinlai."
On the other end of the phone, Ge Youcai's somewhat tired voice came: "Oh, it's Xiao Zhang, what can I do for you?"
Zhang Jinlai asked, "Just now a young man came to the company. He called himself Lu Yiming and said he had bought Jingyi Real Estate. Is that true?"
Ge Youcai sighed and said dejectedly, "That's true. I have indeed sold the company."
Zhang Jinlai was puzzled after hearing this and immediately asked Ge Youcai the reason: "Mr. Ge, why is this happening?"
Ge Youcai didn't want to reveal too much about the matter to outsiders. After all, he had been extremely smart all his life, but in the end he fell into the trap of Shi Caijiang, that scheming old man. It would be so embarrassing to tell others about it!
He was skeptical about Lu Yiming's "evidence" at first, but it was not difficult to verify. When he learned that the situation was no longer resolute, he immediately and decisively decided to withdraw, take the money and leave.
However, there was no need to tell the employees about these things, so Ge You chose to deliberately avoid Zhang Jinlai's questions: "No reason, probably because I'm tired, I want to do something else. Mr. Lu is a very capable young man, he will definitely lead Lean Real Estate to a higher level. Well, I have something else to do, let's talk later."
Without waiting for Zhang Jinlai to react, Ge Youcai hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Zhang Jinlai became more confused and felt that there must be something behind this matter that he didn't know about.
But at least he is now certain that the company was indeed sold to Lu Yiming by Ge Youcai.
Zhang Jinlai returned to the office. Lu Yiming glanced at him with a half-smile, then said, "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
Everyone looked at Zhang Jinlai who had just come in. After all, Ge Youcai was no longer here, and Zhang Jinlai was now their backbone.
Zhang Jinlai didn't know what Lu Yiming was up to for a while. After confirming that the sale of the company was true, he could only bite the bullet and sit in his previous position.
Facing the focused gazes of the crowd, he forced himself to calm down and quickly entered the working state: "Okay, let's have a meeting if everything is fine. Let me first report on the progress of various businesses last week. At present, we have completed and delivered Lean Future City and Lean Yihua City. The occupancy rates have reached 68% and 82 % , and the two projects are operating normally in all aspects. Next, our business focus will be Nanwan. As everyone knows, Nanwan is going to build..."
When he first reported the situation, Zhang Jinlai was worried that Lu Yiming would interfere with his report in order to increase his sense of participation. After all, a new official has three things to do when he takes office. Lu Yiming has just taken over Jingyi Real Estate, so shouldn't he show off his abilities?
As a result, Zhang Jinlai reported everything one by one, but Lu Yiming didn't say a word, which made Zhang Jinlai like Lu Yiming more.
However, when Zhang Jinlai had finished reporting for most of the time, he took the opportunity to glance at Lu Yiming while drinking water, and found that Lu Yiming had taken out a copy of "Story Club" from somewhere and was reading it with great interest.
Zhang Jinlai's nose was crooked with anger.
This is worse than giving advice, at least it proves that Lu Yiming is listening carefully.
As a result, the young man in front of me didn't even listen.
After all, this is a big project involving tens of millions of dollars. As the boss, is it really okay for you to take the lead in slacking off? You are losing your own money!
The good impression Zhang Jinlai had just developed was instantly gone by half.
But there was nothing he could do, since Lu Yiming was the boss. Zhang Jinlai had no choice but to continue reporting and pretend he didn't notice his absence.
Finally, the lengthy report was over. Zhang Jinlai coughed lightly and looked at Lu Yiming anxiously: "Boss Lu, my report is over. Do you have any opinions or suggestions on our work?"
The other employees also turned their attention to the young new boss. As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers, and they were all worried about how to deal with Lu Yiming.
