Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 279 IPO Listing
When Zhong Cheng and others came to the eighth floor of the building, Jiang Shaohua and Yang Shuzhen were unwilling to leave.

Yang Shuzhen said that they had walked more than ten kilometers, and they were wearing high heels again, so they couldn't walk anymore.

Zhong Cheng checked the time, and it was almost 12 o'clock, so he planned to eat his lunch.

Yang Shuzhen said that there is a snack street on the eighth floor, with a wide variety, delicious and cheap.

When they were about to leave, Lu Yao came over.

No matter what Lu Yao said, he would not let them eat snacks, and when it came to his territory, he would entertain Zhong Cheng for a big meal no matter what.

Yang Shuzhen smiled and said, "Then invite us to have a meal at the sky restaurant on the top floor!"

Lu Yao suddenly became embarrassed, "It's the best top-notch western restaurant in the world, and a meal can't beat a million dollars. I went there and got a [-]% discount at most. It's still a bit expensive, why don't you change it?"

The top ten floors of the building are said to be a high-end consumption area, but in fact they are the consumption area for the rich, where food, clothing, housing and transportation are all dominated by luxury.

Going there to spend once, the savings of ordinary people may not be enough for a lifetime.

Zhong Cheng actually didn't think so, but the current social situation is like this, if you don't do it, others will do it, and if you do it, it will help improve the grade of the building's business district.

Therefore, when Lu Yao and Yang Shuzhen were making plans, Zhong Cheng also nodded in confirmation.

It's just that he didn't expect it to be so expensive, the rich people are really rich now!

When he thought this way, he selectively did not count himself among the rich.

He is now the chairman and general manager of Red Star Company, the director of 804 Institute, and his annual salary exceeds [-] million yuan.

If you include all kinds of bonuses and family income, you can't be counted in the ranks of the middle class.

It's just that whether you have the ability to consume and whether you are willing to consume are two different things!

Seeing that Yang Shuzhen still wanted to make things difficult for Lu Yao, Zhong Cheng said first, "I'm not used to Western food, so let's go to your internal cafeteria and let us experience the treatment of your company!"

Lu Yao didn't dare to be brave any more, and hurriedly led everyone to the 49th floor by elevator.

This floor is their company's office floor, and Lu Yao's office is also on this floor.

During the meal, Lu Yao explained Zhong Cheng's confusion.

"Our company is not as rich and powerful as your Red Star Company. The best floors of the Red Star Building are reserved for your own use."

"The annual rent for the highest floors is hundreds of millions. I can't afford it. If it wasn't for the convenience of working, I would like to rent out the 49th floor!"

When Lu Yao said this, Zhong Chengcai remembered that the 181-188 floors of the Red Star Building were reserved for the company's senior management, but they had been idle for a long time.

They don't have time to come here to work at all, and there are dozens of floors in the middle that are empty, which is really a waste of money.

But he didn't want to rent it out as an office building, and Red Star still wanted the face of the company.

After a simple lunch, Lu Yao took Zhong Cheng to his office alone.

Zhong Cheng was shocked as soon as he entered the door. This is an extremely luxurious office.

If his office in Beishan can be described as grand, this office can only be described as noble or rich.

Resplendent and brilliant, wool carpets, full green leather sofas, huanghuali solid wood furniture, high-end glassware, and a large number of high-end tobacco and alcohol in the display cabinets.

Before Zhong Cheng could speak, Lu Yao said first: "There is no way to arrange it like this. The clients who come to my office for talks are all really rich people. It's shameful to be shabby!"

Zhong Cheng shook his head, "You have a problem with your taste, you are not shabby but you can't look like a nouveau riche!"

"Zhong Cheng, please save some morals, I'm already annoyed by the way they arrange it, and I can't stand it anymore after you say it!"

Zhong Cheng smiled, "The people under your command didn't arrange it according to your preferences. Look at my office, do they dare to make it like this?"

"you!"

Lu Yao had no choice but to admit defeat, "Forget it, I let you catch a shortcoming today, so I won't argue with you anymore!"

He asked Zhong Cheng to sit down and poured him another glass of boiled water.

"Don't look at me, those good wine and tea are for guests, you are not a guest!"

"Besides, if I serve you good tea, you won't be able to taste it, it's a waste!"

Zhong Cheng said helplessly: "You are retaliating!"

Lu Yao drank a big mouthful of boiled water and started talking about business.

"I'm looking for you today. Participating in the opening ceremony is one thing, and there's another thing I need to ask for your opinion!"

"Oh?!"

Zhong Cheng thought for a while, "Is there not enough money?"

"cough!"

Lu Yao almost choked, "Why do you always think that I will ask you for money?"

"Is not it?"

Lu Yao said proudly: "It's really not this time, you have seen the situation of the aviation service building now, it is really a huge profit!"

"The five-year investment return I said before is too conservative, and you can start making money in three years at most!"

Zhong Cheng said with a smile: "You occupy the best water and land dock in a big city in China, so you can do whatever you want without making money?"

Lu Yao accepted it with a smile, "But, I don't want to just collect rent, I also want to open a hotel and a shopping mall!"

"I've done the math. The normal profit of a store in a mid-range consumer service area is more than five times the rent. It's even higher in a high-end area, and a little less in an ordinary area."

"NND, the building I worked so hard to build, the business district I built, let others make a lot of money, I am not reconciled!"

Zhong Cheng said disdainfully: "If you are not reconciled, you can raise the rent!"

Lu Yao smiled wryly, "The rent of the Aviation Building is already three times that of similar shopping malls, and if it is any higher, it may cause a collective boycott from the merchants."

"Besides, merchants have to consider the increased rent into the cost, increase the price of products and services, and let customers blame us for their complaints!"

"Oh!" Zhong Cheng said indifferently: "Then if you want to open a hotel or a shopping mall, go ahead, I have no objection!"

"But it takes money to open a hotel and a shopping mall. One or two is not too much, but it is a huge sum of money to open a few thousand!" Lu Yao smiled wryly again.

Zhong Cheng jokingly said: "It took me a long time to turn back, aren't you short of money?"

"It's a lack of money, but this time it's really not from you. Can you get a few trillion yuan?" Lu Yao said with a half-smile.

"Damn it, why don't you rob the bank," Zhong Cheng said, "The bank doesn't even have that much money!"

Lu Yao calmly said: "So, if you want to get so much money, there is only one way, go public!"

Zhong Cheng was startled when he heard this, "Lu Yao, you have to think about it, going public is very troublesome, and the supervision and auditing in the future will be even more troublesome!"

"You think I'm thinking, isn't there no way, and the higher authorities have already had this intention. Once the aviation service building opens, the pressure of public opinion will be even greater."

Lu Yao was indignant, "The merchants you saw today have too much power behind them. They are the main force behind the listing of Huaxia Aviation Service Company. Knowing that the Aviation Service Building makes money, they all want to share a piece of it!"

Zhong Chengdao: "I think they still have an attempt to participate in the management of the aviation service building. The number of shares issued must be well controlled."

Lu Yao nodded, "According to the relevant laws and regulations of our country, if a listed company's initial public offering is an IPO listing, and the total share capital is less than 4 million, the proportion of the public to the total share capital after listing must be greater than or equal to 25%."

"If the total share capital is greater than 4 million, the proportion of public shares in the total share capital after listing must be greater than 10%."

"I originally planned to issue only 10%, but the funds raised are not enough, so I will discuss with you, what percentage is better?"

Zhong Cheng thought for a while, "If you are not afraid that I have too many shares, Red Star Company can invest more, and it will be no problem to invest another 1 trillion yuan next year."

"If you squeeze a little more, you can get 2 trillion yuan, as long as you dare to ask for it!"

Lu Yao quickly waved his hand, "I dare to ask for it, but the higher-ups won't agree. Then China Airlines Service Company should be changed to Red Star Aviation Service Company."

He knew that Red Star Company was rich, but he really didn't expect it to be so rich!

Zhong Cheng smiled and said: "It seems that I am begging to send you money. How about this? In principle, I agree to increase the investment. You can discuss the specific amount with Chairman Zhao and the others. At that time, the plan will be submitted to the board of directors for approval."

Now investing in Huaxia Aviation Service Company is clearly a business that makes a lot of money, so Zhong Cheng is not polite.
