Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 490

The marketing head was visibly nervous.

"Well... that's being handled by Aurora Holdings, so I'm not too clear on the details!"

In the workplace, being unable to answer a superior's question could easily lead to a scolding. If the superior was understanding, it wasn't a big deal because the task wasn't his responsibility. But with a temperamental superior, he was guaranteed to get an earful.

The marketing head braced himself as he imagined Carlisle's possible outburst.

"Don't you have a mouth? Can't you ask if you don't know? Do I have to do everything myself?"

However, Carlisle simply took out his phone and called Felicia.

"Mr. Zahn..."

"How soon can we have the servers ready for Alumni Network?"

"It will take at least a week. The vendors we're negotiating with aren't willing to lower their prices..."

"Are they that expensive?" Carlisle asked, puzzled.

He didn't remember servers being particularly pricey.

Felicia explained, "They're not expensive, but we need many of them. Alumni Network is building a large social network that requires a significant number of servers. Dragonaire Game Company needs a huge server room, and so does the Govan software and system.

"We're going to need a lot of servers in the future, so I decided to buy server rooms for all three companies at once. That's why I've been negotiating with several vendors over the past few days."

She paused before adding, "There's also an issue regarding the location. We need at least three large server rooms. The radiation and noise from the server rooms are considerable. If we put them in the office area, it could affect the work environment. We can get the servers in a week, but the location is more challenging.

After a moment of thought, Carlisle spoke up.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"I'll handle the location. You focus on getting the servers."

Carlisle ended the call and dialed Shania's number. Shania was inspecting a construction site at Holly Fisheries. She stepped aside to answer when she realized it was Carlisle calling.

"Carl, what's up?"

"Shania, are you busy?"

"Just inspecting the greenhouse construction site..."

"Thanks for all your hard work!"

"It was such a big investment that I have to be hands-on," Shania said, laughing.

"So, what do you need?"

"I want to rent another floor in Windex Building for office space. Are there any suitable floors available?"

"Isn't the 18th floor enough? You're not expanding your business again, are you?"

Shania gasped. She suspected that Carlisle had started several new companies, given his partnership with Gareth.

"Not really. I need some server rooms and plan to rent an entire floor to set them up," Carlisle clarified.

Shania's mouth twitched.

"You don't need an entire floor for a server room. Any of your four office areas could accommodate a server room."

If this were any other client, she'd be thrilled. But Carlisle was practically family, and she felt obligated to give him a friendly warning.

Knowing that Shania had his best interests at heart, Carlisle simply replied, "I need a lot of servers. With more servers comes more radiation and noise. So as not to disrupt the work environment, I'm renting an entire floor."

After hearing Carlisle's explanation, Shania said, "I'll call the sales department and have them reserve the 15th floor for you."

The 15th floor of Windex Building had been reserved on opening day, but the client kept delaying the contract and payment. Tired of waiting, Shania decided to offer the floor to Carlisle for his server rooms.

Half an hour later, Windex Building's sales manager presented Carlisle with a contract. After going over the contract, Carlisle was confused.

"Is Shania not interested in making money?"

The 15th floor consisted of four office spaces totaling 45 thousand square feet. However, it was priced at an annual rent of just 300,000 dollars.

Windex Building had just been completed and was a high-end office building of its time.

On opening day, Carlisle had rented the 18th floor for a monthly rent of 200 thousand dollars. With only a three-floor difference, the 15th floor should've cost over 100 thousand dollars a month. Yet, the contract stated that it was only 300 thousand per year. Shania definitely gave Carlisle a generous deal.
