Chapter 823: Eight hundred and eighteen, buy another office building

The next morning,

Gu Chen began tackling the matters of his business association.

Seeing as he had some free time, he decided to fully implement this task.

He started looking for office buildings in the area.

Having just bought one not long ago, purchasing another was quite a luxurious move.

And that day’s transaction was not something Gu Chen decided on a whim.

He directly sought out Old Zhang and learned through him which office buildings were for sale at the moment.

After entrusting the entirety of Ping’an Real Estate to Old Zhang, Old Zhang had become one of the top figures in the real estate industry.

Essentially, everyone in the surrounding cities now knew Old Zhang.

Old Zhang’s status had risen significantly, and now, outsiders even needed to make an appointment to meet with him.

Mainly because the number of projects was increasing; it wasn’t just renovation of neighborhoods anymore. Previously, he had also begun dabbling in urban development.

With more projects, it meant that more materials were needed on the construction sites.

And those who wanted to collaborate with Ping’an Real Estate were eager to seek out Old Zhang.

When Gu Chen last saw Old Zhang, he could tell that Old Zhang had become quite haggard.

Moreover, Old Zhang’s nights were now filled with nothing but alcohol.

All kinds of social drinking engagements were impossible for him to decline.

Each gathering was with suppliers of materials, hoping to establish a collaboration with Old Zhang.

To secure the lowest costs and best quality for Ping’an Real Estate, he had no choice but to drink with each supplier to assess their quality.

This required a significant amount of time and effort.

For a long time, Ping’an Real Estate hadn’t seen any returns on investment; after all, it would take years before seeing any money from these investments.

Yet, Old Zhang’s salary had never been delayed for even a day.

Now, Old Zhang’s monthly salary had properly reached tens of thousands of yuan.

This was no small sum, considering Old Zhang would have never imagined making this much money in the past.

Moreover, Old Zhang’s salary wasn’t fixed; once all the projects were completed years later, he would also receive a bonus.

And from Gu Chen’s preliminary estimates, that bonus could amount to several million yuan.

By then, Old Zhang would directly become a millionaire.

Today, dealing with the office building matter, he once again arrived at Ping’an Real Estate.

Currently, in all the local properties, the most knowledgeable person was Old Zhang.

After arriving at Ping’an Real Estate, acting as a hands-off boss, his presence in the company was virtually nonexistent.

The vast majority of the employees didn’t even recognize him.

When he arrived at the company’s reception to look for Old Zhang, he was informed that an appointment was necessary.

Fortunately, having encountered the same scenario during his last visit, Gu Chen already knew how to handle this tricky situation.

He asked the receptionist to directly call Old Zhang.

Then it was Old Zhang himself who came downstairs to meet him.

The receptionist staff changed almost daily due to the need for shifts in the morning and evening.

Due to the construction sites, their company was virtually running 24 hours a day.

Not long after, Gu Chen saw Old Zhang coming down from the upstairs.

As soon as Old Zhang arrived, he immediately approached Gu Chen.

"This is really too troublesome; let’s have a meeting some other day, and let all the employees know who the real chairman is," Old Zhang said to Gu Chen after approaching.

After hearing this, Gu Chen gave a casual shake of his head and showed complete indifference.

"Forget it, there’s entirely no need."

Gu Chen didn’t feel it necessary to make such an effort.

Because the current situation was very advantageous to him.

"I don’t really want to be too involved, and there are many things within the company that still require your action. It’s better if they recognize you rather than me," he said.

In the past, Gu Chen had appeared on television and was even in the newspapers, but now the vast majority of the staff no longer knew who the chairman was.

With the internet not being so developed, there were no live broadcasts or replays, and once something was in the past, it was past, as people are often forgetful.

Only a portion of the employees knew that the chairman’s name was Gu Chen.

As for what he looked like, they really couldn’t remember; after all, those events were more than a month ago.

Gu Chen was a stranger to them; how could they possibly recognize him?

After hearing this, Old Zhang directly said, "But in this company, you are the real chairman, and these employees should recognize you."

"What difference does it make who is the chairman? What really matters is making money," Gu Chen replied.

After saying this, Old Zhang was momentarily at a loss for how to contradict Gu Chen.

Because what Gu Chen said made a lot of sense; making money was what truly mattered, and the rest wasn’t so important.

Soon they arrived upstairs in Old Zhang’s office.

Seeing the mountain of documents in Old Zhang’s office gave Gu Chen a bit of a headache.

At this moment, Old Zhang was even busier than Wei Tianfu.

Then Old Zhang poured a cup of tea for Gu Chen.

"Did something happen today, or is there something you need to tell me?" Old Zhang asked Gu Chen.

Usually, Gu Chen really did not visit unless there was an important matter.

Nearly every visit was for some urgent business.

"Help me find another office building," Gu Chen said to Old Zhang at that moment.

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang was suddenly stunned.

He looked at Gu Chen, momentarily unsure if Gu Chen was serious.

"Another office building? I don’t quite understand," Old Zhang said.

Not long ago, he had just found an office building for Gu Chen.

But now Gu Chen wanted another one?

Could it be that there was a problem with the quality of the previous office building?

"I plan to start a business association and need a venue, so I’m buying another office building," Gu Chen casually explained to Old Zhang.

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang seemed utterly baffled.

He looked at Gu Chen’s serious face.

He was certain he hadn’t misheard.

"Another one! You want to buy another one?"

He seriously doubted what Gu Chen was up to now; an office building’s selling price was around several million yuan.

Was Gu Chen printing money, to suddenly become so wealthy?

This office building seemed as if it was as simple as buying vegetables; buy one today if you fancy, replace it tomorrow if you wish.

He looked deeply at Gu Chen, knowing that Gu Chen must have made some major deals recently.

Ping’an Real Estate in Gu Chen’s hands was definitely not the most profitable business.
