Chapter 329 Trouble [Tickets](1/2)
The Phantom parked in the parking lot of Haiguang Building. As soon as the group got out of the car, a middle-aged man came up to them holding a mobile phone.
"Hello, may I ask, is this Mr. Wang?"
Wang Yan took a step forward and stretched out his hand: "Hello, I am Wang Yan."
"Mr. Wang, you are really... young and promising."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and after shaking hands with Mr. Wang, he remembered to introduce himself.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm Huang Guangliang, who is in charge of this auction from the Executive Bureau of the No. 1 Intermediate Hair Institute in Shanghai. Just call me Lao Huang."
Lao Huang or whatever, just pull him down if he hears it. If he really screams out loud, how ignorant would he be?
Wang Yan directly held the other person up and said, "Hello Huang Chu, you are younger and more promising."
Huang Guangliang waved his hand modestly: "I don't think I should take it seriously. I'm just a handyman."
The Magic City Intermediate Court is a department-level unit, and the auction price of 320 million is not a small amount. The person in charge of this matter, Huang Guangliang, must be of a high level.
The relationship between Mr. Wang and the other party is not that of a pure buyer and seller. They are not as wary as an enemy, but they cannot be completely trusted.
So far, there has never been a single case where a court proactively defrauded buyers on the Alibaba platform.
The online platform is open to the whole country, and if something goes wrong, the impact will be too great, and there are no personal interests involved, so the judiciary is not very willing to take the initiative to take advantage of it.
However, there are many passive pitfalls, and this kind of thing will not be transferred by personal will.
Therefore, Mr. Wang did not talk about the office building with the other party. He chatted casually and walked towards the building together.
Entering the lobby, there is another group of people waiting.
One of them is the property manager of the building, and the other is a lawyer from Wangting Entertainment.
Only when all parties were present did we really start talking about business.
The main thing is that the lawyer asks questions and the other party answers, and Wang Yan is only responsible for listening.
After confirming each item one by one, the situation gradually became clearer.
The property rights of the two-story office building are clear and there is no mortgage or sale to a third party. The property rights can be obtained in about one month after payment.
The actual area of the two floors is consistent with the description in the document. Each floor is 3,700 square meters, with six passenger elevators + one freight elevator. The layout is very good.
The real estate agent took out a transaction document from the year before last. The sales price of the 26th, 27th, and 28th floors was 72,000 yuan per square meter the year before last.
This year's Shanghai office market is actually down a bit. The transaction price is basically the same as last year, but the transaction volume is smaller.
Under such circumstances, the judicial side assessed the two-story building at 480 million, with an average price of 65,000 per square meter, which is relatively fair.
If you take it to a bank to get a mortgage, the appraised price should be close to the same.
The actual auction price of the 18th and 19th floors was only 320 million yuan, with an average price of 43,200 yuan per square meter, which is a super bargain.
Of course, if Wang Yan is not in a hurry to win it and waits for the auction to fail, the next auction price will inevitably drop to less than 300 million, or even 280 million or 260 million, it is possible.
Assets seized by the court can be profited by selling them.
Otherwise, how can we compensate creditors?
As for the person subject to execution, the company has gone bankrupt and the boss is listed as a fugitive and wanted fugitive, so there is no trouble.
So, the only trouble left now is...
"The 18th and 19th floors were rented out more than two years ago. Currently, there are about 20 companies of all sizes working on those two floors. There is nothing we can do to help sort out the tenants."
Huang Guangliang did not look down upon Wang Yan because of his young age, and explained the situation calmly.
Even if Wang Yan could be deceived about this kind of thing, it would be impossible to deceive a lawyer. There was no need to lie.
Mr. Wang sat quietly with his legs crossed, nodded to Huang Guangliang, still did not speak, and waited for the lawyer to negotiate.
"Manager Ge, how long was the lease signed at that time?"
"Because it is not a full lease, most of the contracts are 2+1, and some are 1+1, but the rent is paid once a year, and we collect it on our behalf and then transfer it to the owner."
"So what's the status now? The rent for the year has been paid?"
"No, what happened to Boss Liu in January was that the tenants refused to pay this year's rent on the grounds that the owner's bankruptcy rights were unknown." Manager Ge shook his head.
"Okay, let me explain, do you think this is correct? According to the contract, this year is the last year of the +1 contract, but in fact the tenants are already in arrears with rent.
It’s November now, are there any tenants who paid rent between November last year and January this year?”
"No."
"Okay, that means all tenants collectively owe rent, right?"
"Yes."
"Okay, let's be more specific. How many households have fulfilled their contracts? How many households are still within the contract period and just owe rent?"
"Well, there should only be three or four families whose leases have not yet expired... I have to check the specific situation."
The lawyer nodded and went back to report to Wang Yan in a low voice.
"Mr. Wang, legally speaking, as long as you take possession of the assets, pay in full, and the court issues a ruling, you will be qualified as a landlord and can terminate the lease relationship with the former tenant.
However, in terms of specific implementation, it is difficult for us to apply for compulsory measures from the court. If the tenant refuses to move out, it will be very troublesome.
More than 20 tenants have refused to pay rent for up to a year. I have every reason to suspect that a consensus among the tenants should have been formed, and the possibility of collective delay and denial is extremely high.
The risk is mainly concentrated here, other issues are not big, you should consider it carefully."
"Thank you, I understand."
Young Master Wang nodded, stood up on his own initiative, and invited Manager Ge: "I already understand the situation. Can you please take me up to take a look at it on the spot?"
"No problem, no problem!"
Manager Ge bowed politely and invited everyone to go upstairs.
The group of people stepped into the elevator with a huff.
Arriving on the 18th floor, Wang Yan finally figured out the layout of the two floors under Manager Ge's introduction.
Haiguang Building has a total height of 28 floors. It has a frame shear wall structure and the single-story space division is extremely flexible. The interior walls are basically hollow bricks, which are not load-bearing and only serve as separation.
The 18th floor is divided into about 20 spaces, housing more than a dozen companies.
Half of the 19th floor belongs to a foreign trade company, and the other half is still rented out.
According to Manager Ge's introduction, there were many unrented areas on the 18th and 19th floors, but as Wang Yan walked along, he found that all the rooms that were supposed to be empty were occupied.
Manager Ge said with a smile: "Since Mr. Liu's accident, our property management has also been in a difficult situation..."
Wang Yan smiled meaningfully and said, "You Haiguang Real Estate are quite easy to bully."
Turn around and walk forward.
Manager Ge felt uncomfortable being squeezed. He moved his lips but said nothing, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.
Wang Yunxi asked suddenly: "Manager Ge, who pays the property fees?"
"Well, it's our property that settles the settlement with the owner..."
"Does the former owner owe you property fees?"
"Of course, this year's property fees have not been paid..."
Wang Yunxi didn't believe it: "You collected rent on behalf of the owners and didn't directly deduct the property fees?"
Manager Ge was asked with sweat on his forehead: "Well, the main reason is that this year's rent has not been collected..."
During the conversation, Wang Yan had already walked around the corridor on the 19th floor.
The office building is really good. The best thing about the frame-cut structure is the arbitrary division of space. Once the hollow brick wall is removed, it can be renovated however you want.
Live broadcast room, dressing room, bathroom, fitness area, office area, photo studio, recording studio...
Any need can be met.
With an area of 7,200 square meters, it can easily accommodate 1,000 employees.
Wangting Entertainment continues to expand its recruitment, how many employees are there?
Less than 250.
Once we capture this place, at least for one to two years, Wangting Entertainment will not need to consider the issue of the operating venue, and can just move forward.
…
People were coming and going in the corridor. Employees wearing various work clothes looked at Wang Yan and his group walking around and pointing with very surprised eyes.
Especially Mr. Wang, who was dressed luxuriously and was so young. He was followed by two fairy-like girls and was guarded by a group of middle-aged men. He had an aura of a top-notch second-generation street patrol.
"What does that young man do?"
"Want to open a new company?"
"It doesn't seem like it. How about renting an office and letting Lao Ge follow you?"
"What kind of brains do you have?! Look at the situation, it's obvious that there are buyers coming to see the building!"
"Damn it! It really means that!"
To be continued...
