The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

First I bought a suit and leather shoes, which made me look like a handsome white-collar man.

He directly found the real estate agency with the largest facade and the most luxurious decoration nearby and walked in.

"Hello, sir! How can I help you?" When he saw He Jiahao in a suit and tie, a woman wearing a dark business suit and light makeup immediately came over from the office area to say hello.

"I want to rent an office."

The smile on the woman's face with light make-up immediately diminished, and she said, "Sir, the rent for our office rooms here is 5 yuan per foot."

"Yeah." He Jiahao nodded. He now had money in his pocket, but this woman had a bad attitude.

"Okay, sir, come with me." The woman led He Jiahao to the reception area, "You sit down first, and I will get you some information."

After a while, the woman brought the information and placed it in front of He Jiahao, "Sir, these are properties represented by our company. Are you looking for an office building nearby or somewhere else?"

"Nearby."

"Then let me recommend to you the He'an Building on Jardine's Street. It is also a property of our company. The 8th floor is currently for rent. So how big of an office do you need?"

"1,000 feet to 1,500 feet."

Hearing this, the woman's eyes finally lit up. She leaned down and the ditch was revealed in front of He Jiahao. She said more intimately, "He'an Building is on the 8th floor, with 1,200 and 1,300 square feet. The rent is 5 yuan per square foot." .Then how long do you need to rent?”

He Jiahao smiled, "I haven't started watching yet, why are you asking how long the rental has been?"

"Excuse me, shall we go take a look?" the woman asked charmingly.

We are still in an environment where the economic crisis has not passed. Of course, there are not many people renting office buildings, so women must seize the opportunity.

He Jiahao looked at the information. It was a decorated office. It was a little more expensive. He was anxious to use it. "Okay, let's go and take a look."

The female agency Wang Zhenzhen actually got a car to carry He Jiahao.

Looking at Wang Lizhen's skillful driving skills, he knew that he should drive more often.

After more than ten minutes, the two arrived at He'an Building.

Mainly because there were many traffic lights and vehicles, which delayed a little time.

Arriving on the eighth floor, He Jiahao looked at the 1,200-square-foot office. There were only two independent offices, a conference room, and a public office area. They were all finely decorated, with desks and everything. People could come in and work immediately. This way, Save a lot of trouble.

Therefore, He Jiahao did not negotiate the price and directly signed a one-year contract with Wang Zhenzhen on a one-deposit-pay-one basis.

After doing that, he left quickly because he still had something to do.

Oriental Daily newspaper front desk

"Beautiful lady, is your editor-in-chief here?"

A baby-faced and innocent front desk lady looked at He Jiahao doubtfully, "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

Shaking his head, He Jiahao said easily, "I don't have an appointment, but I have something very important to the editor-in-chief."

"Sorry, the editor-in-chief will not see you without an appointment." The receptionist smiled politely and had no reaction to He Jiahao's words.

"Miss, you are just passing the news on your behalf, and at most you will be scolded. But if you delay important events, you will be in trouble, or at least lose your job." He Jiahao still looked confident, without any sign of anger.

"Then what is that thing in your hand? If the chief editor asks me, I have to be able to answer it." After hearing this, the front desk lady became a little embarrassed. She couldn't afford to offend anyone. After all, she needed this job. .

He Jiahao shook his head again, "I'm sorry, this thing is confidential and I can't tell you. If you really don't go, I will leave in ten minutes."

After saying that, He Jiahao walked to the sofa and sat down, without saying a word to the lady at the front desk.

After a while, a man in his forties with a beer belly said a few words to the front desk lady, then walked up to He Jiahao, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Young man (young man), you have some tricks, such a beautiful front desk lady It almost made you cry. I wonder what you want from me?"

He Jiahao smiled silently, took out a stack of paper from his bag, and handed it to the editor-in-chief.

Taking the paper, the editor-in-chief browsed through several pages, his face became cautious, "I don't know what to call it?"

"My name is He Jiahao."

"He Sheng, I am Zhao Yi, the editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily. I wonder how many words He Sheng wrote and at what price do you want to sell them?"

"It's one million words. I wonder what price Chief Editor Zhao will offer?" He Jiahao kicked the ball back again.

Zhao Yi was silent for a while, "Missing this novel is indeed a loss for our Oriental Daily. Let's not talk nonsense. It's 30 yuan for 1,000 words."

30 yuan for 1,000 words is not low.

But it’s not He Jiahao’s bottom line.

"55 yuan for a thousand words." He Jiahao, a little guilty, bid nearly double the price.

Zhao Yi was slightly startled, shook his head and said, "It's too high. To put it bluntly, no one in the market would pay this price. 40 yuan for a thousand words?"

"50 yuan!"

"Happy cooperation." Zhao Yi frowned, but still extended his right hand, "Then He Sheng, wait a moment, I will let them prepare the contract."

An hour later, Zhao Yi came late and finished signing with He Jiahao, asking, "How many words does He Sheng plan to complete the novel?"

"About two million words."

"We ask He Sheng to finish it within three months, is that okay?"

In fact, the novel "Kunlun" has been completed, but He Jiahao didn't want to sell them all so quickly. The publishing house might fail, so he had to leave a way.

"Okay!" He Jiahao said without blushing.

"He Sheng, after this novel is finished, please consider our Oriental Daily for the second novel." Zhao Yi said with a friendly smile.

"Of course, but writing novels is my hobby. It may take a longer time to publish the second one." He Jiahao feels that if the publishing house is run well, he will not write novels again.

After all, writing a novel takes a lot of energy.

"I still have a business I want to introduce to Oriental Daily. I wonder if Editor-in-Chief Zhao is willing to take it?" He Jiahao said somewhat mysteriously.

"what business?"

"I want to start a magazine, and I need to publish 'Wanted in the City' in your newspaper. This is the content." He Jiahao directly handed the note to Zhao Yi.

"Haha, He Sheng doesn't want to compete with us for food, does he? To be honest, He Sheng, the media industry is not good, and the money you make may not be as good as your writing novels." Zhao Yi looked at the note. Content, his expression changed slightly.

He Jiahao shook his head and said seriously, "The magazine I want to run is in a completely new field. I won't compete with you for food, and I can't compete with you either."

Looking at He Jiahao, he felt that it was not a lie. He had taken such a good novel. If it was published in a magazine, the magazine would be easy to sell. Zhao Yi said, "Okay, I believe He Sheng. Let's do this, 'Wanted in the City' for seven days." Ten thousand yuan.”

According to the area occupied by this advertisement, fifteen thousand yuan for seven days is not excessive.

"Well, thank you very much, Editor-in-Chief Zhao."

The two chatted again, and it wasn't until around five o'clock in the afternoon that He Jiahao took the check and left the Oriental Daily Publishing House.
