American Fortune Life
Chapter 1097: It's really thick and thin
At the end of the meeting, the news of the company's construction of a new headquarters quickly spread throughout the company, and the company immediately became lively. Everyone gathered together to discuss their own design of the headquarters.
And more people are very interested in the amusement park concept proposed by the big boss at the meeting, especially the "Minecraft" pixel square building proposal discussed later is even more interesting.
Buying land, design solutions, and modular buildings will take less than a year, and may even move into the new headquarters in half a year, which pleases code farmers who have been fed up with a crowded work environment for a long time.
And the employees of the app store next door to the company that received the same news were jealous of envy and jealousy. Everyone was crowded in a broken building. There must be nothing to compare, but when people saw it, they would spend money to build the headquarters. The software mall with a good ability to make money is a bit tired.
Not only are ordinary employees feeling depressed, a group of executives have also squeezed into the office of eo Michael Wright, and they are urged to mix in. They also know that if they have money, they will definitely not be able to brush the money as if they had opened 12 banknote printers Compared with game companies, they did not expect to set up a separate headquarters building, but their software mall can establish a joint venture with the game company.
Michael Wright groaned, feeling that the idea was very feasible, and immediately ran to the office of the boss in the next upstairs, asking for cooperation with the game company.
"Blair, the two of us are strategic alliances. We paid 100 million US dollars to cooperate with you to build the headquarters park. We will use them together and continue to be neighbors!"
"Michael, we really don't lack money ..."
Andy looked down at the financial statements of the two companies and ignored the EOs of the two companies sitting opposite him. Their left and right hands favored either.
However, he really doesn't want the Free City app mall to be incorporated into the construction of the headquarters park. Sooner or later, he will need to raise funds for the app mall, or even sell a part of the shares to Google and win the other party directly Let the other party abandon the establishment of an application store alone.
And once he chooses financing, then although he is still the boss, he will have a lot of shareholders. He doesn't want this group of shareholders to take advantage of the game company.
"Boss, you see ..." Blair was a bit seduced by Michael. He was willing to spend less, and he was a big boss company, and the two companies had a very close relationship. When the time comes, the headquarters will be built. There is nothing wrong with working for a company in a building.
Andy looked up at Michael, who was eager to look at, and groaned. "The software mall can take 100 million to help the game company build the headquarters. After the headquarters is completed, I will leave you two layers for your own design, but pay a little each year. The rent is directly deducted from the 100 million li. If there is any change in the future, the rent will be discussed separately. "
After hearing the words of the big boss, Michael Wright immediately wanted to understand the mind of the boss, knowing that it was the boss to guard against future financing, and couldn't help but grin, and glanced at him apologizing, I couldn't help Blair.
"Sure enough, our godson will never be better than my own son! It's just partiality!"
"That's it. By the way, Michael, how is the preparation of the consumer lottery?" Andy gave the final word and did not want to continue discussing the issue at the headquarters. Instead, he asked about the promotional lottery in the software mall.
"The plan has been basically completed. There will be many events this time. For example, for every $ 10 spent, you will get a chance to draw. The lowest prize is also a $ 5 mall voucher. Customers, the 20,000th customer ... Tens of thousands of consumer download users will receive a one-thousand-dollar mall voucher. We customized a large number of limited-edition products for this event, such as game t-shirts, dolls , Mouse pads, headsets, mice, etc. can be purchased with coupons or redeemed with consumption points. "
After hearing Michael's report, Andy could not help but brighten his eyes and nodded with satisfaction: "Good plan, we must handle copyright issues well, so many peripherals, don't have copyright disputes, don't owe copyright fees, let All developers understand that our software store is a secure, reliable, trustworthy sales platform that can bring them continuous benefits. "
"Understand that we also hope that this promotion will allow our customers to improve their personal information, analyze their preferences based on their consumption records, and prepare for targeted game advertising in the future ..."
Hearing here, Andy shook his head and laughed. These guys were all Jing, and they all started to pay attention to the big data information base.
After thinking a little, Andy stood up and said to Michael, "Let ’s go and see it over you. I will not treat the construction of the mocking bird game company headquarters this time. The construction of the company's carrying standards will also rebuild the headquarters for you when the time is right. "
For the boss's soothing promise, Michael knew the boss's intentions, and naturally he would not have any opinion, "I understand the boss." ...
If you want to build a headquarters, you naturally need a large enough land. For the mocking bird game company that is not bad at money, it is natural that the low land prices during the bursting of the real estate bubble in the United States will naturally choose to be bigger.
Although a company headquarters building that can carry 5,000 people, because it is a low-rise building, it requires a larger area.
When I learned that the newly-raised Andy Smith game company was going to build the company's headquarters, the San Francisco city government naturally supported and welcomed this project to land in San Francisco. After all, it could solve a lot of jobs.
However, in the face of the 50 acres of parkland required by the game company, the San Francisco city government that turned on the green lights was a bit aggressive. Nima, is this to build a spaceship?
A company's headquarters with a capacity of 5,000 people has more than a dozen acres of land. The problem is that Andy won't let go of this opportunity to take advantage of the bargain and will not give concessions. Sorry, we will choose the counties and cities that can give preferential land prices.
As for building the headquarters on the company's original site, everyone including Andy has never thought about it, because the price of land in downtown San Francisco is not cheap, and it also involves demolition. Nima, the cost is extremely high. Already.
Wanting to settle jobs, leaving quality taxpayers, driving regional consumption ... The San Francisco City Government sold a 50-acre piece of land on the outskirts to Mockingbird Games, and the city council quickly approved the deal.
The land is down, and the following invitations are sent to several large design companies in the United States. For mocking bird headquarters design bids that are already well-known in the United States, those design companies still attach great importance.
The mocking bird game company has been too famous for more than a year. Whether it is "Minecraft", a sandbox game that is popular all over the world and loved by many architectural designers, or without any age barrier, it is very The favorite series of "Zombies", "Angry Birds" and "Fruit Swordsman" occupy the sales volume and download the best-selling games on the leaderboards, making this game company belonging to the youngest billionaire Andy Smith famous.
Designing a headquarters for such a company is definitely a very attractive thing. The headquarters design schemes of well-known companies will undoubtedly enhance the reputation of designers in the industry.
After the invitation to design was issued, this matter has nothing to do with Andy for the time being. He has already stated his own concept. It is the designer's job to perfect it, which will go through several rounds of screening and competition. In the first round of elections, or in the second round, Andy will not participate. He will only make decisions in the last two to three plans, so that he will not be determined by preconceived preferences.
