Chapter 230 Global Headquarters
After arranging things in Xiangjiang, Xu Liang returned to the capital.
In the courtyard behind Andrea’s restaurant.
The joy of fish and water has just calmed down.
An Kaiyue, covered in sweat, lay in Xu Liang's arms, closing her eyes to regain her strength.
"Why are you so energetic today?" Xu Liang asked with a smile.
"Have you not seen me for a long time? Of course I am excited." After a pause, An Kaiyue opened her beautiful eyes and looked at the man in front of her with admiration, "I saw a lot of news reports some time ago. About Hongmeng’s financing?”
Xu Liang smiled and touched her hair, which was completely wet with sweat.
"Now you are the girlfriend of the richest man in mainland China."
"So, everything in the news is true? Is Hongmeng really valued at US$3.36 billion?"
"Yeah."
"My dear, you are great."
An Kaiyue regained her energy instantly and kissed Xu Liang's face several times.
For those who love vanity, money and career are the best stimulants.
Of course Xu Liang will not let down her passion.
After struggling for a few days, Xu Liang came to Hongmeng after Quan thought he had taken a good vacation.
“Mr. Xu.”
“Hello, Mr. Xu.”
Seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces, Xu Liang nodded and was keenly aware of the atmosphere in the company. It's a little different from before.
That kind of proud mood and high-spirited self-confidence is unprecedented in the past.
Arriving at the office, Xie Wen walked in not long after.
"Mr. Xu, this is the city schedule for the Bing Advertising Alliance Promotion Conference that I made."
Xu Liang took it and put it down after one glance.
First the first-tier cities, then the second-tier cities, there is nothing much to say.
"Lao Xie, the company is well managed. Have you taught everyone to be confident?"
"This is not my credit. Since Hongmeng successfully raised funds and was valued at US$3.36 billion after financing, and put on the hat of China's number one Internet company, everyone's mood has changed.
And, don't say It was them, and I also felt the change.
On weekdays, although my family and friends knew that I was the COO of Hongmeng Company, they didn’t think much of it. As a result, as soon as the news of Hongmeng’s financing spread, everyone knew me and didn’t know me. Come over.
Flattery and flattery make me jump a little."
Xu Liang nodded. It is human nature to be vain and cling to the powerful. It is the same for everyone.
The same goes for him. When so many calls come in, although he is humble on the outside, is he not feeling proud in his heart?
“I’m happy, but I shouldn’t be too happy. Hongmeng International has only received Series A financing. It’s time to tighten up the clockwork and speed up development. Don’t be complacent and miss the opportunity.” Xu Liang explained .
“I’ll go back and hold a meeting with them to unify everyone’s thinking.”
Xu Liang nodded, “Remember, don’t talk about the inside story of Hongmeng Financing in front of outsiders. We must try our best to give people There is an impression that Hongmeng International’s financing is equal to Hongmeng’s financing.”
“I know this, but when will our Hongmeng China raise funds?”
"The later the better, the later the company will be more valuable." Xu Liang said.
Now Hongmeng China is not short of money for development, so there is no need to rush to raise funds.
Xie Wen nodded, "Mr. Xu, there is one more thing that must be resolved."
"You are talking about the office space?"
"Yes. .”
"Now Hongmeng Huaxia has close to 6,000 employees. Excluding the branches in other places, there are more than 3,000 people at the headquarters. There is no extra office space for us in Wangjing Building."
Wangjing Building’s The construction area is only 34,000 square meters, which is equivalent to half of the Jianlibao Building.
In addition, some of the office space is shared by other companies, and the rest is no longer enough for Hongmeng to expand.
“What do you think?”
“Buy a piece of land directly from Chaoyang District to build our Hongmeng global headquarters.”
After being together for such a long time, Xie Wen knew very well that Xu Liang was optimistic about real estate, so he didn't say anything about renting an office center.
Xu Liang frowned.
“Is the investment too high?”
When building a headquarters building, we must focus on the future.
The construction area is more than 200,000 square meters, and the sense of design must be taken into consideration. The current project cost is at least 3 billion Chinese dollars.
"Our construction of the headquarters building is not done overnight. We will buy the land first this year, otherwise the higher the land price will be, the higher the cost will be.
And now we have successfully raised funds and are well-known in the global Internet industry Zeng, which is known as the No. 1 technology company in China, strikes while the iron is hot and buys the land first.”
Xu Liang nodded, Xie Wen’s suggestion was very pertinent.
He knows better than anyone how high the land prices in China, especially in the capital, will be in the future.
"I will do as you wish, buy land and build the headquarters." Xu Liang affirmed.
Xie Wen also had a smile on his face.
"Mr. Xu, how much land do you think we should take?"
Thoughts appeared on Xu Liang's face. He now doesn't know what Hongmeng will be like in the future, but in his last life , he once visited the headquarters of JD.com, Alibaba and Penguin under the guidance of venture capital companies.
But what impressed him most was Apple’s flying saucer headquarters.
It not only combines human and nature, but also has a strong sense of design.
At that time, he was very envious, but his strength did not allow it.
Now I finally have the chance.
“You don’t need to go to Chaoyang District. Contact the Beijing City Government directly and buy five hundred acres of land from them in the name of building a new headquarters.”
“Five hundred acres? Is that possible? Too much?" Xie Wen said in surprise.
If you add up all the office spaces of technology companies in Beijing, you won’t be able to use such a large office area. "We, Hongmeng, are a multinational company. Either we don't build the global headquarters, or we have to do our best once construction begins." Xu Liang affirmed.
After Xie Wen nodded, "But it may be difficult for us to get such a large plot of land in the core area of the capital."
"Then move to the suburbs, there is no need to insert it. The city center. "
The capital is now only on the third ring road. Even if Hongmeng headquarters is built outside the third ring road, it will still become an urban area in the next few years.
Xie Wen breathed a sigh of relief, it was easier this way.
"We will acquire the land this year, design it in the first half of next year, and start construction in the second half of the year. We will try to complete the headquarters within five to seven years," Xu Liang said.
Although the new headquarters costs money, if we relax it to six or seven years, the pressure will not be so great.
And they can also take advantage of business loans.
“As for the current shortage of office space, we will temporarily rent the office building next to it and let Pangu and No. 1 store move there first. In addition, communicate with the property management of Wangjing Building. After the other tenants of the building expire, they will not Let’s rent it again. We, Hongmeng, will rent Wangjing Building as a whole.”
Not long after, Lu Hui walked in.
“Mr. Xu, this is an interview invitation from Beijing TV Station.”
“Push it down.”
“What about CCTV?”
>
“CCTV News?”
"It's CCTV's "Dialogue" column."
Xu Liang suddenly realized that he had also watched "Dialogue" in his last life. At that time, he felt that those business leaders were really awesome, and they were able to draw lessons from other sources and provide guidance.
Later I started doing business myself, and after seeing more things, I realized that all these guys were bragging.
All kinds of jokes were spread later.
I don’t know that my wife Liu Qiangdong is beautiful, I don’t know that my father is rich, Wang Congcong, Beihuan Sa Beining, Biao Wang Jianlin, Bonima from an ordinary family, regret to create Ajiema.
"Put it down, just say I don't have time."
"Mr. Xu, this is CCTV's golden column." Lu Hui couldn't help but said.
“I know, I pushed it.”
Compared with going to CCTV to brag, he prefers to hide behind the scenes and count money.
Although he is already very rich now, his wings are still not strong enough and he is too exposed, making him prone to trouble. It is better to keep a low profile.
"Yes."
"Ask Wei Xiao, the director of Zhu Rong Studio, to come over."
Lu Hui nodded and quickly turned around to make a phone call.
Not long after, Wei Xiao, wearing a white shirt, black casual pants and white sneakers, opened the door and walked in.
Hongmeng, like Google, promotes an engineer culture, and there are no strict requirements for employee dress. As long as you feel comfortable, you can wear whatever you want.
"Mr. Xu, are you looking for me?"
"Sit down."
Xu Liang pointed to the seat opposite him.
Wait for Wei Xiao to sit down.
“The results of "Bubble Hall" are out and they are great!"
Wei Xiao couldn't help but smile.
The Zhurong Studio he directs now mainly operates and develops three games.
"Bubble Hall", "Red Moon" and "Bubble Show".
"Red Moon" and "Bubble Show" were introduced by Hongmeng South Korea. The former has average results, while the latter is very popular in markets such as China, South Korea and Japan. Especially the Japanese market is booming.
"Bubble Hall" is the first game developed by Zhurong Studio, its own son.
Since its launch on June 1st, within one month, there have been more than 15 million registered users, more than 200,000 people online at the same time, and monthly revenue of more than 20 million.
Although it is not as good as "Legend of Blood", it can still be called a great success.
Moreover, when "Pao Pao Tang" is launched in the East and Southeast Asian markets, 20% of the copyright income will also make Zhurong Studio a huge profit.
According to existing data, it is speculated that the peak number of Chinese registered users of "Pao Pao Tang" can reach 40 million, with about 450,000 online at the same time, and the monthly revenue exceeds 55 million.
If you include foreign countries, it can be doubled.
Of course, predictions are just predictions, whether they can be achieved is another matter.
“If it hadn’t been for the “Bubble Hall” development plan provided by Mr. Xu, our Zhurong Studio would not have achieved such good results.”
Xu Liang smiled, no Involved in this.
“Are there any other development plans?”
“Not yet.”
Xu Liang nodded, stood up and walked to his desk, opened the drawer, took out a document and placed it in front of Xiao Xiao.
“Take a look.”
The latter picked it up curiously and took a look.
On the title page of the document are written five neat characters in regular script.
‘Go Karting’.
Wei Xiao instantly realized that this was another game development plan.
Because of the huge success of "Bubble Hall", he couldn't help but become anxious.
I quickly opened the content at the back and read it carefully, and quickly fell into it.
Xu Liang did not rush him.
After about half an hour passed, Wei Xiao raised his head, with expectation in his eyes.
