Chapter 485 A little time off
Originally, the rent in Xudu was very cheap.
Because of the influx of a large number of Yuanfangcheng employees, the rent in Xudu has increased a lot.
Especially in some communities near Yuanfangcheng, the rent for a three-bedroom apartment is close to 4,000 to 5,000 yuan.
Those employees are five or six or even seven or eight people, sharing a three-bedroom apartment.
If it was in the past, the rent for a three-bedroom apartment in Xudu would have been 2,000 yuan at most. Before Yuanfangcheng was built, it was remote and the houses in the nearby communities could not be rented out.
If you bargain, you can rent a three-bedroom apartment for 1,400 to 5,000 yuan.
Now the rent has tripled and is still rising.
Invisibly, the living costs of these employees have increased a lot.
If the employee housing is implemented as soon as possible, those employees will not have to bear such great pressure. The money for renting a house every month can be saved, which can be used to improve their lives or deposited into bank cards.
"At the group headquarters, many employees have posted on the intranet, hoping to build an employee building in Hangzhou as well." Li Mengqing said.
Compared to Xudu City, the cost of living in Hangzhou is higher.
Whether it is rent or food, clothing, housing and transportation, a large amount of expenses are required every month.
"It is a bit difficult to build employee dormitories in Hangzhou." Gao Yuan pondered for a moment.
First of all, there is the issue of land prices. The land prices in Hangzhou are not cheap.
Moreover, Yuanfang Group is in the central area of the CBD commercial building. There is no extra land nearby. If you want to build a building, you can only spend a lot of money to relocate.
And it is very troublesome for employees to go to and from get off work in places that are too far away.
There are currently about 250,000 employees at the headquarters of the group.
If you want to build a building in Hangzhou, let alone 50,000 sets in the initial stage, even 5,000 sets will be very difficult.
"You can discuss this with the heads of the relevant departments in Hangzhou at that time. The main thing is to be cautious in site selection." Gao Yuan said, "For the other phase of funds, control it at around 100 billion. Let's see the results of the first phase first."
The salaries of employees in Hangzhou are high, but the housing prices in Hangzhou are also expensive.
Most employees get an annual salary of about 250,000 to 350,000 yuan, which is considered good in Internet companies.
However, the average price of houses in Hangzhou is about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, and the better communities have even risen to 50,000 to 60,000 yuan per square meter.
The housing prices in some high-end communities have even exceeded 80,000 to 90,000 yuan, or even more than 100,000 yuan.
The money these employees earn in a year can almost buy a house of about 10 square meters in an ordinary community.
It looks good, but in fact, putting aside the cost, it is no different from a fool's dream to want to buy a house in Hangzhou with the money saved every year.
At least you have to be a grassroots manager with an annual salary of about 500,000 yuan before you can consider settling in Hangzhou.
"Okay, let's see what the relevant departments in Hangzhou say." Li Mengqing nodded, "If they give policies and conveniences here, it can be implemented as soon as possible."
...
In the evening, Gao Yuan returned home.
Lin Wanyu, Xiao Xiao and Li Mengqing all surrounded him and stared at Gao Yuan with ill intentions.
That look seemed to want to eat Gao Yuan.
"How are you going to make it up to us since you haven't been back for this period of time?"
Lin Wanyu took the lead and questioned Gao Yuan.
"How do you want to make it up?" Gao Yuan asked back.
"Don't try to pass the problem to us, you tell me." Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips and asked Gao Yuan to give a suitable solution.
"How about this, I'll feed you all tonight." Gao Yuan smiled.
This year, as Yuanfang Group's business has expanded, Gao Yuan's business trips have become more and more frequent.
He often stays abroad for ten days and a half a month.
As a result, he has less time to spend with the three women.
"Too perfunctory!" Li Mengqing was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, "I'll feed you tonight, but what about tomorrow night? What about the night after tomorrow?"
Hearing Li Mengqing's words, Xiao Xiao immediately distanced herself from the matter, "This is Mengqing's request, and it has nothing to do with us."
She stood up, and even the place where she sat was several meters away from Li Mengqing.
Tonight's tossing is not enough, and tomorrow night and the night after tomorrow are also needed?
Isn't this just asking for death?
Anyway, Xiao Xiao didn't have the courage, she knew Gao Yuan's fierceness too well.
"Traitor!"
Li Mengqing despised Xiao Xiao's behavior, then looked at Lin Wanyu, wanting to pull Lin Wanyu into her camp, "Wanyu, let's work together."
"No, I'm not a match either, you should just do it alone."
Lin Wanyu also took a few steps back.
I didn't expect Li Mengqing to be so brave today.
For three consecutive days, Lin Wanyu estimated that she would have to lie in bed for several days before she could recover her energy.
"I don't ask for much, I just want Gao Yuan to go shopping with me tomorrow, except tonight, Gao Yuan is yours for the next few days." Lin Wanyu said with a smile.
"You two are traitors!"
Li Mengqing looked at Gao Yuan, "You have to be gentle with me for the next two days."
"Hahaha!"
Gao Yuan laughed.
I thought Li Mengqing could always be tough, but I didn't expect that she started to give in after such a short time.
"Don't worry, I will be very gentle!"
Gao Yuan said heavily.
"Then we have a deal. Let's go shopping together tomorrow." Xiao Xiao echoed, "As for Meng Qing, I think she won't be able to move tomorrow morning. Even if she wants to go out, she'll have to walk with the help of a wall."
Amidst laughter and joy, Gao Yuan led the three back to the room.
At first, the three women still had energy. After an hour, whether it was the stubborn Li Mengqing, Lin Wanyu or Xiao Xiao, the three of them lay on the bed and didn't want to move.
...
The next day, noon.
Li Mengqing lay on the bed, and she really didn't have much energy.
Even eating was carried down from upstairs by Gao Yuan.
Facing such a fierce Gao Yuan, Li Mengqing regretted it a little. She should have known not to provoke him.
She was the most tired last night.
After dinner, Xiao Xiao and Lin Wanyu discussed going shopping.
Before shopping, there was another more important thing to do, such as feeding Li Mengqing first.
After another round of lovemaking, Li Mengqing completely gave up the idea of going out shopping and fell asleep on the bed.
Hangzhou was already a bit cold at the end of November.
Unlike the north, heating has started.
There is no large-scale heating in the south. When it is cold in winter, it is really cold. Lying in the quilt feels cold all over.
If the cold in the north is a physical attack, the cold in the south is a magical attack, especially when it rains, it is even colder and makes people uncomfortable.
Gao Yuan, who lives in a villa and has been turning on the central air conditioner, doesn't feel anything.
Ordinary workers seem to feel a little uncomfortable.
And the temperature outside is not very high.
After getting out of the car, the three of them walked straight into the mall.
The temperature in the mall is just right.
Walking into a clothing store, the clerk enthusiastically introduced clothes to Xiao Xiao and Li Mengqing.
Gao Yuan still wears a mask and sunglasses, he is used to it.
If he attends an event in public, it's okay, but he doesn't want to be disturbed in his private life.
If he doesn't wear a mask and sunglasses, he will be recognized in minutes.
At that time, a large group of fans will come around and want to take a photo with Gao Yuan.
Facing these fans' requests, if he doesn't take a photo, he will appear very cold and will hurt the fans' hearts.
If he takes a photo, it will delay a lot of time.
It's better to be low-key, wear a mask and sunglasses, and go shopping with Xiao Xiao and Lin Wanyu at ease.
"I think this dress is especially suitable for you."
The clerk pointed to a dress and said with a smile, "This dress is matched by a top foreign designer, and the material is also made of special technology."
"Our products have always been popular abroad, and many foreign female stars only customize clothes in our company."
The clerk has been promoting his own company.
Gao Yuan thought he had entered the wrong store and hurried out to take a look.
He had never heard of this brand, and Gao Yuan looked at Lin Wanyu and Xiao Xiao again.
Obviously, Lin Wanyu and Xiao Xiao had never heard of this brand either.
The clothes and cosmetics they wore were basically high-end, and most of the big foreign brands were familiar to them.
But this brand seemed to have never been heard of.
"How much is this dress?"
Lin Wanyu asked.
"Madam, the price of this dress is 11,888 yuan." The clerk smiled.
More than 10,000?
Lin Wanyu was shocked.
Originally, she thought that even if this kind of clothes was sold at a high price, it would only cost one or two thousand yuan.
Unexpectedly, the opening price was five figures.
Lin Wanyu didn't lack this little money. Sometimes she and her bestie would spend tens of thousands of yuan on a casual meal.
But at least the meal was worth the money.
Although she was rich, Lin Wanyu was not a fool.
If this dress was really designed by a top foreign designer, let alone 11,888, even if it was 1.18 million, Lin Wanyu would not even blink when she bought it.
"I have never heard of this brand."
Lin Wanyu said.
The clothes in these shopping malls now are no different from those of Assassins.
They look very ordinary, but the actual price is amazing.
"Ma'am, you are joking. Our company is very famous overseas." The clerk said, "This dress is definitely worth the money."
"Forget it."
Lin Wanyu took Gao Yuan's arm and walked out.
"No, ma'am, since you are out shopping with your boyfriend, what are you worried about?" The clerk smiled, "I see that your husband has a good temperament, so he must have a high aesthetic ability."
"Sir, do you think your girlfriend looks good in this dress?"
The clerk continued to seduce.
They were specially trained before taking up their posts and learned how to talk.
Once a girl doesn't want to buy this dress, she can find a way to stimulate her male companion, so that her male companion will be the scapegoat and finally buy this dress.
"It looks good, but the main credit is my girlfriend's good looks, and the dress is just average."
Gao Yuan said mercilessly.
Beautiful girls look good in anything, and this is determined by her own appearance and temperament, and has little to do with clothes.
Even if Liu Tianxian wears a military coat or a big cotton-padded jacket, it will not affect her appearance.
"Sir, you...if you say that, I think it's your aesthetic problem." The clerk continued, "This dress is designed by a top foreign designer."
"You can also search for this designer on the Wikipedia."
The Wikipedia can also be edited manually.
Many people like to add some unfounded things to themselves in the encyclopedia to show that they are authoritative.
"Let's go!"
Gao Yuan took Xiao Xiao and Lin Wanyu out of the store.
In many shopping malls, there are many such stores.
Even in some high-end shopping malls, there are these shops, which are called light luxury, but in fact, the clothes are very low-end in terms of design and materials.
"If you can't afford it, then you can't afford it, why are you pretending?"
The clerk muttered.
This dress is more than 10,000 yuan. If it can be sold, she will get a commission of several hundred yuan.
I thought I could meet a sucker, but I didn't expect it to leave.
This made the clerk feel that she had just wasted her breath.
"What did you say?"
Lin Wanyu turned around and glanced at the clerk.
The clerk's muttering just now was obviously heard by Lin Wanyu.
She didn't want to bully others, but the clerk's behavior was indeed a bit excessive.
Lin Wanyu put her bag on the counter, "Do you know this bag? It's customized by LV."
It's very difficult to buy a customized LV bag.
You can't buy it just by having money, you also need to have a certain social status and influence.
The first thing is to match the goods and buy some matching products. Those matching products are purely IQ tax.
After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in the LV store, you can buy their most basic bags.
Then continue to upgrade your level. After spending nearly 20 million, you can buy the real luxury bags.
As for customized ones, it will cost at least more than 100 million.
The head office will send engineers to ask customers about their requirements.
After asking the customer's requirements clearly, they will produce customized products. This kind of customized products is more expensive, costing millions or tens of millions.
This is why LV is so popular even in the second-hand market.
Some people want to buy bags, but after calculating various distributions, it costs a lot.
Buying second-hand directly can save a lot of money.
However, Gao Yuan always thinks that LV bags are not good-looking, but who makes his girlfriend like them.
After saying this, Lin Wanyu took Gao Yuan's arm and left again.
There is no point in arguing with such people.
Any bag of hers is something that a clerk can't afford in his lifetime.
"This kind of store is too much." Lin Wanyu said, "The property owner of the mall didn't conduct a strict review when recruiting investors."
"Hahaha, if you are angry, I will buy this mall and give it to you, and you can run it." Gao Yuan laughed.
A mall in Hangzhou is worth at least tens of billions.
For Gao Yuan, it is not difficult to acquire a mall.
After the acquisition, it will be directly handed over to Lin Wanyu for management and operation, even if it loses money.
Lin Wanyu plans to introduce all authentic luxury brands from home and abroad in the new mall.
Shops like this that pretend to be light luxury products should be driven out as soon as possible to avoid affecting the reputation of the mall.
"Let's go, I will ask my secretary to come over tomorrow to discuss the acquisition. Let's go shopping happily today." Gao Yuan said. (End of this chapter)
