Qijiayuan DRC hosts a customer caring excursion and pre-lease briefing
2017-07-20

As the earliest diplomatic residence compound (DRC) in Beijing, the Qijiayuan DRC launched its renovation/expansion project to better serve the customers and uplift its competitiveness. The first phase of the project began in November 2015 and it was inevitable that the construction work would leave an impact on the living and working conditions of the residents. Despite of that, the DRC’s let-out rate has remained at 94% ! To express its gratitude towards the DRC residents and adjacent embassies and promote the newly completed Building 3, the PR & Sales Department, together with the Qijiayuan DRC Property Management and Engineering Department, hosted a customer caring excursion and pre-lease briefing on June 10. 

Some 80 invited guests, including diplomats, officials and journalists as well as their families from the embassies of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Surinam and Ethiopia and international organizations as well as media institutions, such as the International Committee of Red Cross and Prensa Latina, among others, took part in the event. Mr. Zhang Yue, Miss Lin Li and Mr. Liu Yong, senior HSC executives, also participated. 

Embarking on the excursion from Qijiayuan DRC, the guests arrived at the venue of the Water Melon Festival of Daxing District and entered after taking a group photo.

Mr. Zhang made the opening speech to announce that the first phase of the Qijiayuan DRC Renovation/Expansion Project came to a successful close in March 2017, thanks to the support and understanding of the DRC dwellers and neighboring embassies. Beginning in May 2017, the second phase is expected to be completed in 2020, creating a new face for the DRC as an international community with improved and more convenient facilities. He hoped the guests would consider choosing the newly completed Building 3 as their new home in Beijing and pledged that the HSC would boost the depth and breadth of the services continuously to offer a higher quality life to the DRC residents.

With a carefully prepared PPT document, a PR & Sales representative briefed the guests on the timelines and progress of the first and second phases of the Renovation/Expansion Project, pre-lease information on Building 3, e.g. the floor space and interior highlights, as well as the Bank of China E-Community App. Having gained a clearer picture of the Renovation agenda, the guests expressed their interest in trying out the classy and environment-friendly new building and DRC life oriented App.

Following the presentation, the guests were treated to the Water Melon Beer and fresh melons and invited to take part in a game of weight guessing amid the cheers of the spectators. The HSC executives presented prizes to the winners of the guessing game, as the pleasant ambiance thus created brought the guests closer to the HSC.

The guests then took a tour of the ecology garden where the owner broke the Guinness World Record with its melons and won top prizes at the local melon festivities on numerous occasions. After the visit, luncheon was served when 11 guests signed up into the Bank of China E-Community App on their cell phones with the help of the PR & Sales representatives. The guests took the bus to come home to Qijiayuan DRC after lunch and received water melons as gifts, with the wish for them to have a great time residing in the DRC.

The excursion enhanced the customers’ understanding and support for the DRC Renovation/Expansion Project and laid down a good foundation for the lease-out of Building 3. With full confidence and hearty services, we will for sure bear witness to the birth of a nicer, better and more internationalized Qijiayuan DRC together with the customers. Taking this opportunity, we would like to give our thanks to the Qijiyuan DRC Property Management, Engineering Department and Fire Prevention and Security Department for their strong support.
