**: It's really called Lu Jun.
Recently, I have been seeing the topic of office vacancy rate in Shanghai, these data are true or false, in fact, I don't know very much, for me, I do not get involved in the office field in my daily life, but when I see this topic, I want to talk about some of my own experience and feelings of leasing office in ShanghaiPerhaps at the individual level, you can also feel the situation and current situation of the real office atmosphere
Let's introduce my background first, we all know that we are doing content, in fact, the company was founded for almost seven years, these seven years have been in Shanghai to develop the most when hundreds of people, the least when there are more than 30 people, not to talk about the big but also relatively stable a small company, in recent years, the company's business development has been smooth, thriving, the overall development I am personally more satisfied, but it is strange to say, I look back now, these seven years I seem to be changing office space every year,From Xuhui to Huangpu to Jing'an to Minhang and now to Jing'anBut when I think about it, every time I don't want to change places, whether the company is bigger or smaller, my first reaction when the lease expires is to expand in place, but every time it seemsThere's always some reasonThe situation that pushed me to change places also caused the results of changing places every year, and I tried to recall the reasons for changing places every time, and chewed a little, as if these are indeed the survival conditions of many small businesses todayLet's start with a real feelingIt's just that many office buildings would rather be empty than lower rentsHave you ever imagined this?
But this is really my daily change of office when stepping on the plate, every time I say that there are no people here, there are not many companies in such a big place, why the rent is not a dime, and then I asked more to know the situation, that is, many office buildings are held as a whole, and when held, there is actually a pricing in the capital market, and the basis of this pricing is based on the current rent and rent-to-sale return ratio to do a calculation, in other words, if the rent is reduced, it may increase some occupancy rateBut it's a huge discount to the asset pricing of the entire office buildingThis is for a lot of businessesThe first negativeThey would rather leave the entire building empty, and then seek the possibility of overall transfer or transaction in the future, rather than revitalize the entire space with a suitable rent, which is indeed the reason why many office assets are inflatedBut how do some places attract businesses, and he will tell you that there is no way to lower the rent, but I canGives you a rent-free periodWhether it's a month, three months or six months, the scope of this rent-free period is very large, and it even feels like a huge authority to adjust every time you communicate, although the unit rent is unacceptable, but if you add the rent-free period, the average rent for a year doesn't seem to be so high, which also contributes to the reason why I change to another place to work in many cases, but it's okay to win you over through the rent-free period, but after the expiration of one year, for example, the overall rental cost becomes very high
At this time, it is no longer possible to go to the operator to ask for discounts or discountsAnd even many places have to increase your rentIt's pretty much when it comes to raising your rentBlack humorAccording to reason, if the office building can't be rented, even if you don't reduce the price, it is basic to maintain the original price, but the logic of many operators is not like this, in their eyes, it is difficult to attract more tenants anyway, so for the enterprises that stay here, how to get more wool from them becomes possible, because after all, there is a price to change the office space, after all, it is also necessary to consider employee commuting, communication with business partners, and even feng shui in the eyes of the boss, so I did encounter a lot of places on this floor that cannot be rented, the venue comes to discuss the price increase when our contract is about to expireI was furiousThird, I talk about policies, in fact, many office buildings have corresponding policies behind them, these are cities in order to support the orientation of the industry, there will be a variety of policies, to be honest, these policies for our business side is still very powerful, to be honest, Shanghai is still very tolerant and supportive of the company, but in the direction of the specific building almost to large enterprises, this logic is the same as many banks, The larger the enterprise can ask the bank to borrow more money, in the leasing market, many policy dividends are mainly given to large enterprises, our small workshop is nominally the same, but a lot of communication is more difficult to promote, always makes people feel hopeless, so the later will be doneFinally, when it comes to service, I think it's quite inexplicable to change places a few times, that is, I started to grow big in one place, and then I want to expand the area, but I found that there are some places where it is difficult to provide even this simple service plan, that is, for many office space operators, it seems that there is no dimension of time to attract customers and have the ability to maintain daily maintenance in the unit, but it is difficult to keep up with the development of the enterprise in the face of enterprise changes
A lot of things are slowly cooling down, of course, because of these, many operators are behindEven yourselfDevelopment has also become a problem, many have closed down and closed, not to mention that you also know that some co-working institutions have closed down one after another in recent years, before I also had the company open, and suddenly one day the operator posted a notice at the door saying that he was going to evacuate,In fact, it is out of businessIf you want to continue to stay and work, you need to connect with the big landlord, and then you see that one day the whole place is scattered.
It brings a huge panic to the hearts of employees, and for the companies that stay, they also need to re-sign the contract and re-negotiate, and re-go the process, which is also a very, very large time cost, and the company can see everything after a long timeSo what is the intention of writing this short essay to express, in fact, many results are produced by the factors of the general environment, but more is actually a microscopic concrete refraction of why an office building is vacant, it may be the result of a variety of factors, because the office building in the past carries the building economy
Behind the consideration is more about the appearance of the city, the structure of the capital and the development of the industry, but in my eyes, the development of the current building environment needs investmentMore enterprise dimensionsIt is some small and medium-sized enterprises that support the bright lights in the building, and the development of the industry is actually very subtle, why some companies want to develop in Shanghai, and some companies want to go to Hangzhou, it is because the atmosphere behind the city determines that the development is more favorable in the first place, so why some companies choose to work in this building, and why they will consider changing places next year, which is also because of the development atmosphere given by the building itself, so that every enterprise is making their own choice, I want to say that the data is dead, But the individual is flexible, and as a small boss of a company that I have been running for seven or eight years, I still feel the tremendous economic vitality spreading, and under such vitalityThe carrier provided by the space also determines that this vitality is in full bloom in the endI don't have an answer to the question of office vacancy rates in Shanghai, and I'm thinking about what I should do when my lease expires in June this year.
