109: : Galaxy Group officially moved into Shenzhen's tallest building

Time is always fleeting; half a month passed in the blink of an eye, bringing us to early December, with only a little over twenty days left in the year.

The weather in Shenzhen gradually turned cooler in December, no longer the scorching heat of before.

During this period, the Xinghe Group headquarters and its branches had completed their relocation, awaiting Jiang Chen and the Group's senior management to officially move into the Ping An Finance Center.

Early in the morning, Jiang Chen got ready and arrived at the Group.

Because today was the day he and the senior management of Xinghe Group would officially move into the Ping An Finance Center, and it was also the day Xinghe would officially announce to the outside world that the Ping An Finance Center would be used as its headquarters and renamed.

Bang bang bang —

At this moment, the door to Jiang Chen’s office was knocked, and a short-haired woman carrying a briefcase walked in.

“Chairman Jiang, President Ji and the others are already waiting for you outside.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Jiang Chen nodded, stood up, and buttoned his suit jacket.

“Let’s go, Secretary Zhu.”

The short-haired woman was Zhu Zhe, who had resigned from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel during this period and joined Xinghe Group, officially serving as Jiang Chen's secretary.

“Yes.”

Zhu Zhe pushed open the office door for Jiang Chen. Stepping out of the office, Jiang Chen saw all the incumbent senior executives of the Group, except for Ji Weiwei and Shu Zhonghua, including Xu Minghao.

Led by Ji Jun, Xu Minghao, Xu Jinzhong, and others, they quickly called out when they saw Jiang Chen emerge.

“Chairman Jiang.”

“Chairman Jiang.”

“Chairman Jiang.”

“Chairman Jiang.”

“Chairman Jiang.”

“Chairman Jiang.”

Jiang Chen looked at them and said with a smile, “Everyone, let’s go.”

“Yes!”

The senior executives of Xinghe Group followed Jiang Chen downstairs towards the Group building… On the road, a convoy consisting of a Mercedes Pullman and a dozen Maybachs majestically headed towards the Ping An Finance Center.

Jiang Chen and Ji Jun rode in the same car, with Zhu Zhe in the passenger seat, while Xu Minghao, Xu Jinzhong, and other senior executives of the Group were in their respective private cars.

At this moment, Jiang Chen pressed the car window down, gazing at the skyscraper whose upper part was shrouded in clouds due to the rain.

Jiang Chen’s thoughts began to wander.

He thought of the time he first came to this city alone with a single piece of luggage to make his fortune, and of the awe-inspiring sense of insignificance he felt when looking down at Shenzhen from the observation deck of the Ping An Finance Center.

Fate is strange; now he actually owned this building and was going to use it as the headquarters for his Group.

“Chairman Jiang, we’re almost there.”

Ji Jun reminded him.

“Hmm, I know.”

...The Ping An Finance Center, the second tallest in China and fourth tallest in the world, is a super 5A Grade A office building located in the heart of Shenzhen, and also a landmark building of Shenzhen.

At this moment, downstairs from the Ping An Finance Center building, the main entrance, including the surrounding roads inside the building, had been cordoned off, with many Galaxy Real Estate security guards maintaining order.

They nervously watched the only road that had not been sealed off.

Although the surroundings had been cordoned off by Xinghe Group, many media outlets with long and short lenses had already gathered outside.

These media outlets were uninvited; their leaders, upon learning that today was the day Xinghe Group would officially move into the Ping An Finance Center, had instructed them to come here early in the morning.

News of Xinghe Group acquiring the Ping An Finance Center had spread across the internet. As a landmark building in Shenzhen, this matter was even more widely publicized than Xinghe Group's acquisition of Cathay Pacific Airways.

Shu Zhonghua nervously maintained order at the scene. He hadn't expected so many people to gather today.

He meticulously gave instructions to ensure order at the scene and prevent any emergencies, because today was undoubtedly an important day for all employees of Xinghe Group, and everything had to be foolproof.

At this moment, these media outlets gathered on the periphery began to chat idly in small Groups.

“Hey, do you know? The acquisition of the Ping An Finance Center by Xinghe Group is not simple.”

“Not simple? How is it not simple, and who told you?”

“Hehe, of course, I heard it from my mother’s sister’s son’s friend’s girlfriend’s boyfriend’s sister who works at Ping An Group.”

“As far as I know, Xinghe Group completed the acquisition overnight, and no news of it leaked out.”

“No? If no news leaked out, then what are we doing standing here?”

The person with the inside scoop looked at the person refuting him as if he were an idiot.

“Are you stupid? If it weren’t for those companies half a month ago leaking that their leases were being reclaimed by Xinghe Group, who would know that Xinghe Group acquired the Ping An Finance Center?”

“Oh, oh, oh, now that you mention it, it really seems so. Currently, Xinghe Group hasn’t officially announced to the outside world that they have acquired it.”

“And I heard that this was all accomplished by the new Chairman of Xinghe Group, and he’s only 30 years old.”

Everyone was stunned by the news.

“No way, a 30-year-old Chairman?”

“No, it should be a 30-year-old Chairman of a hundred-billion-yuan Group.”

“At 30, he’s in charge of a hundred-billion-yuan Group…”

“Yes, and I heard that this Chairman acquired the Ping An Finance Center to use it as the headquarters for Xinghe Group.”

“That extravagant? Acquiring the Ping An Finance Center just to use it as the Group’s headquarters?”

“Look over there! It seems like the senior management of Xinghe Group has arrived!”

Someone said, and the media immediately stopped talking and looked towards the road.

More than a dozen Mercedes Maybachs, surrounding a Pullman, like a black dragon, shimmered under the sunlight as they slowly approached the entrance of the Ping An Finance Center building.

At the main entrance of the Ping An Finance Center, Shu Zhonghua looked at his Group’s motorcade, which resembled a long dragon.

“Quickly, follow me to greet Chairman Jiang.”

After Shu Zhonghua finished speaking, he led the way towards the central Pullman. The senior executives of Galaxy Real Estate, seeing this, dared not delay and quickly followed Shu Zhonghua's footsteps.

Zhu Zhe got out first and opened the car door for Jiang Chen.

At the same time, the doors of numerous Maybachs also opened, and senior executives of Xinghe Group stepped out.

As Jiang Chen and the senior management of Xinghe Group exited their vehicles, the media immediately aimed their cameras at them, flashbulbs began to flicker madly, and numerous security guards nervously maintained order.

“Hello, Chairman Jiang.”

Shu Zhonghua led the senior executives of Galaxy Real Estate to Jiang Chen and greeted him in unison.

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

Jiang Chen smiled and shook hands with everyone individually. During this time, Shu Zhonghua and the people from Galaxy Real Estate had been busy, which allowed the Ping An Finance Center to be cleared out so quickly, facilitating the Group's relocation. It could be said that these people were all indispensable.

The senior executives of Galaxy Real Estate, flattered, shook hands with Jiang Chen, and listening to his words, they felt that their hard work during this period was worth it.

After shaking hands, Shu Zhonghua then led them to greet Ji Jun, who also smiled and encouraged everyone.

At this moment, Xu Jinzhong and other senior executives of the Group also walked over.

They greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries.

After everyone had greeted each other, Jiang Chen looked at the media not far away, who were aiming their long and short lenses at them.

“President Shu, what’s going on over there? Are those the people you arranged?”

There was an announcement ceremony today, where he would personally announce the renaming as the Chairman of Xinghe Group, but the media gathered around made Jiang Chen a little confused; he didn’t remember such an arrangement.

Shu Zhonghua showed a wry smile upon hearing this. “Chairman Jiang, those are media outlets we didn’t invite. Even though we didn’t invite them, they still came voluntarily early this morning.”

Shu Zhonghua relayed the information he had gathered. The arrival of these uninvited media had added a lot to his workload, but it was not good to drive them away, so he could only let them stay on the periphery.

“Oh, I see.”

Jiang Chen nodded, not asking further. He turned to look at everyone and said with a smile, “Everyone, let’s enter our Group’s new headquarters building together.”

After speaking, Jiang Chen led the way towards the main entrance of the Ping An Finance Center, and the senior executives all closely followed in Jiang Chen's footsteps.
