Chapter 57: The high rents in Laputa!

"Dear Mr. Rockefeller and Thomas, please allow me, in the name of the owner of the Emerald Island, to welcome the two distinguished guests!" Jiang Cheng with a sincere smile on his face, to the helms of the two world-class chaebol families, Give a welcome speech.
Looking at the world as a whole, the two big men in front of them are also existences that can cause an earthquake with a stomping, and they cannot tolerate Jiang Cheng not being so solemn to come to receive them in person.
It can be said that before the opening of Emerald Island, Jiang Cheng intentionally introduced world-class chaebols like the Rockefeller family, the Mellon family, and the Morgan family into Emerald Island.
These chaebol families have unmatched wealth. More importantly, after decades or even hundreds of years of accumulation, the business scope developed by these families has already penetrated into the daily lives of everyone in the world.
In fact, around everyone in the world, there are more or less products and services produced by these world-class chaebols.
Their tentacles have evolved from the initial oil and mineral commodities to banking services, catering services, financial services, daily necessities and even daily department stores.
It can be said that everyone in the world, from life to death, has more or less touched and used the products of these world-class chaebol families.
Therefore, if Jiang Cheng wants to develop Emerald Island, of course they cannot do without their support.
Without their participation, Emerald Island might not be able to provide the most complete and high-end services to customers who come to Emerald Island. They will be even less visible for a series of services necessary for senior VIPs such as the financial industry and banking industry.
"Oh, dear Mr. Owner, I knew from the first sight of you that my choice was absolutely correct this time. I am afraid that only young talents like you can build the Emerald Island so well. I can't wait to start our cooperation." Old Mellon nodded and smiled while looking at Jiang Cheng.
For people like him, after accepting the invitation of Emerald Island, he is bound to be opposed by some official forces in the country. However, in the end, he disregarded the opinions of others and came to this place regarded as a paradise. From the observations just now, he is still very satisfied with the partner in front of him.
Although he looks young, he is very humble and knows how to treat guests, which meets his basic requirements for partners.
"Yes, Mr. Islander, although I only came to Emerald Island for a short time, I have completely fallen in love with it. If possible, I would like to buy a piece of land in Laputa and build a western-style manor. Spend the rest of my life here." Old Rockefeller also said with a smile at this time, and by the way made some of his own demands implicitly.
"No problem! It is a great honor for me to be loved by two distinguished guests. Emerald Island has always adhered to the principle of openness and is always willing to open the door to our investors." Jiang Cheng replied naturally with a smile on his face.
In this way, in the following time, Jiang Cheng brought a group of senior officials from Emerald Island to meet some senior figures from the two chaebol families one by one, and then everyone took a flying car and went directly to the sightseeing banquet hall located at the top of the magic funnel. .
...
The windows are bright and clean, and the lights are brilliant.
In the very luxurious banquet hall, Old Rockefeller and Thomas Mellon looked over the whole city and the twilight seascape in the distance with some shocking eyes, and fell into a sluggishness.
"Oh, God! I can't imagine that there is such a fascinating scenery in the world!" Old Rockefeller's voice trembled, and he exclaimed.
Behind him, Thomas Mellon also stared at the distance without blinking, his eyes flickering, obviously also very satisfied with the scenery here.
At this time, the service staff had gradually brought gorgeous food and precious drinks to the table, and Jiang Cheng invited VIPs from the two big families to take their seats.
At the wine table, Jiang Cheng and the high-level officials of Emerald Island accompanied him, and the dinner officially began.
"Thank you for the visit of the Rockefeller family. The future of Emerald Island is indispensable for the great support of the nobles!" Jiang Cheng raised his glass and smiled at the old Rockefeller on his right.
"It is an honor for the Rockefeller family to be able to invest in Emerald Island. I hope we can cooperate happily!" Old Rockefeller nodded slightly and also expressed his gratitude to Jiang Cheng.
The two tapped the glass and drank it all in one go.
After drinking mellow wine, the two began to discuss the topic of investment plans through the alcohol.
According to the original plan of the Rockefeller family, it is prepared to rent a floor of office area in the endless building as the headquarters of the Rockefeller family's industry in Emerald Island.
In addition, the Rockefeller family intends to invest heavily in Emerald Island, involving high-end service industries such as finance, banking, and credit.
Jiang Cheng readily agreed to this.
Next, the Mellon family.
Compared with the Rockefeller family, the Mellon family seems to be more interested in the infrastructure technology of Emerald Island.
Therefore, Thomas Mellon said straight to the point that he hopes to develop in-depth cooperation with Emerald Island in the field of infrastructure construction and jointly develop the infrastructure industry. In the future, it will expand infrastructure business all over the world.
Hearing this intention of cooperation from Old Mellon, Jiang Cheng only hesitated slightly, then nodded and agreed.
This kind of infrastructure black technology needs to be further promoted in the world, but at present, Jiang Cheng has been lacking a strong spokesperson.
Cooperating with a family with huge influence in the field of infrastructure such as Mellon can greatly enhance the reputation of Emerald Island infrastructure and open up a vast market space.
Of course, in order to achieve this, some technical output is inevitable.
However, Jiang Cheng doesn't care much about this. Some of his black technology system is future technology, so there is no need to worry about the infrastructure technology in front of him.
Share some technology with your partner, so that you can better cooperate with each other, Jiang Cheng knows this truth well.
The cocktail party continues.
In the following time, the leaders of the two families finally mentioned the core issue of this cooperation.
Rent of office area, and tax issues.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng smiled slightly and said his offer in a very calm tone.
The rent for the CBD in Laputa City is priced at $6,000 per square foot, which is converted into a total price. The annual rent for the office area rented by the two big families will be as high as $1.2 billion!
As for taxes, Jiang Cheng asked for 20% of the other party's profit!
Hearing Jiang Cheng's quotation, the two helms of the chaebol family were all stunned on the spot, and they thought they had heard it wrong!
The annual rent of 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, 20% of the profit is extracted!
OMG!
Is this emerald island owner crazy?
This request is no different from robbery!
You know, even the most prosperous CBD in the world today, Manhattan, New York, does not have such a high quotation. According to Jiang Cheng's quotation, it is almost twice that of the Manhattan business district in New York!
This is definitely a robbery!
The expressions of the two tycoons became difficult to look after Jiang Cheng made this offer. The calm expressions on their faces before, all disappeared at this moment.
