Upon arriving at Xiao Ya's office, Qin Xuan told Li Yunlong and the other to sit anywhere they liked, and he himself found a place to sit casually.
"How is it, Boss Xiao? Did you inquire about what I asked you to?"
Xiao Ya nodded and poured three cups of tea for them, "Of course, I wouldn't dare to neglect what the great mine owner Qin Xuan asked."
"Ever since I received your message, I've been trying to gather information from others."
"After all, Guojin Center is one of the top-tier office buildings in Jiangcheng, and it's rare for an entire floor to be put up for sale."
"But you're lucky, the foreign company on the eighteenth floor just announced its bankruptcy these past few days, and they're urgently selling it now."
"I've had a brief talk for you, and the price is around 1.6 billion."
Hearing Xiao Ya's words, Li Yunlong and Yun Qing were stunned.
They had initially thought Qin Xuan wanted to rent a river-view office in Guojin Center to boost his image.
But from Xiao Ya's tone, it seemed Qin Xuan intended to buy an entire floor!
This was a bit too outrageous, wasn't it?
After all, just two months ago, he was still worrying about paying a few hundred yuan in rent!
What had Qin Xuan experienced these past few days?
Qin Xuan was naturally unaware of their shock.
He silently calculated in his mind.
A floor in Guojin Center was approximately 55,000 square meters, and the total price was 1.6 billion, which meant 29,000 yuan per square meter.
It was indeed a bit expensive.
"How about this, tell their boss, 1.4 billion, and I'll buy it outright if they agree."
Xiao Ya nodded and made a call to the manager who had been negotiating the price earlier.
After receiving Qin Xuan's offer, the other party went through a series of reports and negotiations and finally agreed.
Transfer of funds and signing.
Li Yunlong and Yun Qing had not yet come to their senses even after the buyer and seller signed the contract and completed the payment.
It was as if they were dreaming.
This was buying a building!
An entire floor!
And it wasn't 14 yuan, it was 1.4 billion yuan!
If it were divided equally among the people of Longguo, each person would get 1 yuan!
Yet, Qin Xuan and the others had completed the transaction with ease in less than half a day.
Buying a building was faster than them buying a car!
"Old Qin, you really bought this entire floor?"
"So casually?"
Standing in the large office on the eighteenth floor, Li Yunlong still found it hard to believe.
"Yeah, why hesitate when buying a floor?" Qin Xuan said indifferently.
"But, but the entire company only has us three people so far. Such a large office space is completely unnecessary."
"Isn't this a waste of money?"
"That's 1.4 billion Longguo coins!"
"It's not, it's not Korean won!"
Qin Xuan smiled, "You two, your perspective is still too narrow."
"If our company really started with just the three of us, when would we be able to compete with Hu Hao?"
"Besides, do you think our company will still only have three people after I buy this office floor?"
"Don't we?"
"Of course not!"
"Yesterday, I called everyone who was fired by Hu Hao. Except for the two of you, without exception, all of them chose to refuse."
"Why do you think that is?"
"Because there's no security," Yun Qing said softly.
Qin Xuan snapped his fingers, "Exactly!"
"'Sufficient funds,' 'crush Hu Hao,' all of it was just talk from me."
"They couldn't see any substantive proof, so why would they easily quit their current jobs to join me?"
"It's like Zhu Sheng said."
"He himself needs to pay a mortgage and support his parents."
"If he impulsively quit his job like you and came to me without sufficient funds, what would he do?"
"If he stayed, he'd go hungry; if he left, it wouldn't be loyal."
"That's why even though he was very tempted yesterday, he still didn't join us."
"So that's how it is!"
Li Yunlong suddenly understood, "So, by buying this office floor now, you're giving them confidence, allowing them to participate with peace of mind, and removing their worries?"
Qin Xuan nodded.
After Li Yunlong understood, Qin Xuan took out his phone and contacted the colleagues he had spoken to yesterday.
Using the excuse of getting together, he invited everyone to the eighteenth floor of Guojin Center.
When everyone had arrived, Qing Fang, who was previously in charge of design, was the first to voice her question.
"Qin Xuan, didn't you say you wanted to get together with us?"
"Why did you bring us to this office hall?"
Qin Xuan smiled gently and apologized to the equally confused crowd.
"My apologies, everyone."
"I invited you all out this time mainly to discuss forming an internet company."
"The company's location has been decided, it's on the eighteenth floor of this Guojin Center."
"This room?" Li Hao asked.
Qin Xuan smiled without answering. At this moment, Li Yunlong interjected.
"What do you mean, this room?"
"Didn't you hear what Old Qin said?"
"The eighteenth floor! It's the entire eighteenth floor of Guojin Center!"
"What?"
Everyone exclaimed.
"Qin Xuan actually rented the entire eighteenth floor to start a company?"
Li Yunlong extended his index finger and shook it left and right.
Adopting a lecturing tone, he said to everyone, "You all, your perspective is still too narrow."
"Our goal is to become an internet company even more powerful than Hu Lai Network."
"Can an office for such a powerful company be rented?"
"Of course not!"
"Our great boss, Mr. Qin Xuan, has already bought the entire eighteenth floor!"
As Li Yunlong finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
In fact, before coming, they knew that Qin Xuan calling them out was to persuade them to join.
They had expected him to paint a rosy picture or show off his wealth, but they hadn't expected him to directly buy an entire floor of office space.
"These are the purchase contracts signed this afternoon, and this is the property deed for the office building."
"If anyone doesn't believe it, you can come and flip through it page by page."
Qin Xuan took out a stack of documents and placed them in front of everyone, then said very seriously, "Everyone losing their jobs this time is entirely my fault."
"I am very sorry."
"Therefore, please give me an opportunity to compensate you."
"Moreover, you weren't satisfied with your previous positions, were you?"
"Since you have to find jobs that match your skills, why not come to me?"
Qin Xuan's words touched everyone.
They felt Qin Xuan's sincerity.
Just as they were beginning to feel moved, Zhu Sheng's voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.
"Hello, boss, I'm sorry, I have to resign."
"Yes, I don't want the salary either, I'm truly sorry."
After Zhu Sheng hung up the resignation call, everyone began to act.
Just as Qin Xuan had said, this entire floor gave everyone the confidence.
They believed that since Qin Xuan could buy an entire floor, he would definitely not let them be without security.
Moreover, being fired and blacklisted had touched the bottom line of everyone's dignity.
If they had the chance, they naturally wanted to go head-to-head with Hu Hao!
