Chapter 238: The First Ruin in Beijing
Under Bing, the marketing department has more than 800 people.
The number is second only to the R&D department.
The number of people in Bing has exceeded two thousand.
Bing relied on the ability of the three stooges to surpass Zhuge Liang. In just one and a half years, Bing's search engine technology iterated twelve times.
Almost once every month and a half.
At the same time, Bing clients have been developed in sixty-nine languages.
Today's Bing, in terms of technical capabilities, is no longer inferior to Google.
The latter has not made a profit this year and has to be careful with the money it raises. Unlike Xu Liang, who can use the money earned from Hongmeng Games without hesitation to invest in technology and research and development.
Coupled with China's current low labor costs, as well as its hard-working and intelligent characteristics, Bing has achieved its current rapid development.
Now, the whole Hongmeng knows that Bing is the real son of the big boss.
Responsive to all requests.
After explaining to Yu Jun, Xu Liang looked at Xie Wen.
"Lao Xie, what's going on with the land for the company's headquarters?"
"I've reported it to the leaders of the land and resources department in Beijing. They said that the land we requested is too big. You have to report it to the top before you can give us the news.
I plan to wait three days. "
Xu Liang nodded slightly.
"What day is it today? "
"The third day. ”
Xu Liang nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.
"Has the contract for the overall leasing of Wangjing Building been signed?"
"We made an appointment to sign the contract today."
Xu Liang was about to ask again when his cell phone suddenly rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
After a slight hesitation, Xu Liang pressed the answer button.
A young voice came in.
"Is it Mr. Xu Liang from Hongmeng Company?"
"I am, who are you?"
"I am Liu Shucheng, Secretary Jiang Shuji, are you Can you come now? Jiang Shuji wants to ask about Hongmeng's new headquarters in person."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Hang up the phone.
Looking at Xie Wen and Yu Jun’s questioning eyes.
"You go ahead and do your work first. I'll ask about the land acquisition for our headquarters."
The two of them nodded, turned around and walked out without asking any more questions.
Xu Liang did not take Lu Hui with him, and asked Huo Gang to drive to the destination.
As soon as Xu Liang parked the car, a young man wearing a white shirt and black trousers ran over.
"Mr. Xu."
"Secretary Liu, why are you here?"
When Jiang Weiguo visited New Dream and Hongmeng, he took each other with him, so the two of them Also recognized.
"Jiang Shuji is afraid that you can't find the place, so let me pick you up."
"Jiang Shuji is interested, let's go."
Under the leadership of Liu Shucheng, Xu Liang quickly arrived at Jiang Weiguo's office.
Knock on the door and go in.
Jiang Weiguo, who was immersed in correcting documents behind his desk, raised his head and stood up after seeing Xu Liang.
Walked.
"Come and sit."
The two sat down in the reception area next to them.
Liu Shucheng handed over a glass of water.
After saying ‘thank you’, Xu Liang put it aside for the time being.
“I have seen the recent news. Hongmeng is developing very well, with US$3.36 billion. Not counting Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, it is currently the highest technology company in China.”
From his words, Xu Liang heard a hint of happiness.
It is understandable. After all, he has built a top high-tech company under his management, which is more influential than ordinary companies, which is political achievement.
“Thanks to the support of the Beijing government and the preferential tax policies given to us, otherwise Hongmeng Company would not have developed so fast.”
Xu Liang could not say that the financing targets were only Hongmeng International is not the business of Hongmeng as a whole.
You can hide it as long as you can, it is still a layer of protection.
Jiang Weiguo smiled and said: "Although we have raised 560 million US dollars, if all of it is used to build the corporate headquarters, I am afraid it will delay the development of the company.
Although I don't know much about the Internet industry, I also know that any industry wants to If you grow bigger, you will face fierce competition, and you can’t do it without money at the critical moment.”
It’s not easy to cultivate a technology giant, and he doesn’t want to see Hongmeng take too big steps and then decline.
What's more, the person in front of me is very likely to become his son-in-law.
I couldn’t help but care a little more.
"In fact, most of our financing this time has been invested in the expansion of the Southeast Asian market and the European market, so you don't have to worry about us going the wrong way." Xu Liang said with a smile.
"Then you guys still have money to buy land?" Jiang Weiguo frowned.
“We hope that the government can relax the time for us to pay the land purchase fee and give us certain discounts.” Xu Liangdao.
“You will definitely make a bargain.”
“We are not making a bargain, but we want to enjoy the preferential policies enjoyed by other technology companies. This is not excessive.” Xu Liangdao.
Jiang Weiguo nodded slightly.
Nowadays, the state and local governments have many supporting policies for high-tech enterprises.
Xu Liang’s request is indeed not excessive. "Having said that, is it too big for you to build a new headquarters with five hundred acres?"
Xu Liang took his briefcase over.
He took out a stack of documents and handed them over.
“This is the design drawing of our Hongmeng headquarters, please take a look.”
Jiang Weiguo took it and was quickly attracted by the content on the drawing.
The plan is shaped like a flying saucer. Although it is hand-drawn, it is very neat.
The following are side views, front views, and partial schematics.
If there is any shortcoming, it is that there is no specific data marked on it.
In fact, Xu Liang relied on his own art skills to draw this with reference to the Apple headquarters he visited in his previous life.
However, he did not remember the length, width and height, so it was just a schematic diagram and did not qualify as a construction drawing.
But it is enough for reference.
After reading it, Jiang Weiguo admitted that he was indeed shocked.
At this stage, domestic architectural art is still at the level of high-rise buildings, with little emphasis on structure and shape.
Xu Liang’s schematic diagram of the headquarters building colored with markers is different.
Not only is the shape unique, but it also uses a large area of curved glass, leaving a large green space and water surface in the center to highlight the organic combination of man and nature.
If it can really be built according to the design drawings, it will be built in all aspects.
Jiang Weiguo believes that it will become a landmark building famous throughout the country and even the world.
"Have you calculated how much it will cost to build such a new headquarters?"
"There is no actuarial calculation, just a simple estimate."
"How much?"
"More than 5 billion Chinese coins."
"5 billion?!"
Jiang Weiguo was shocked. Although he had expected that it would cost a lot of money, he still couldn't help being shocked when he actually found out.
This is too much.
Xu Liang continued: "We do not plan to spend so much money at once, but plan to build it in five years. We will first obtain the land this year and make a design plan.
Construction will officially start in the second half of next year.
If all goes well, it will be completed in 2007.
Including internal decoration, it can be officially settled in 2008. "
Jiang Weiguo nodded. The whole process will take nearly seven years. In this case, 5 billion construction funds does not seem to be a lot.
"500 acres is too much, and there is no such area in the urban area. Such a big plot. ”
“It can also be in the suburbs, it doesn’t have to be in the city. "Xu Liangdao.
The capital city now only has the third ring road. In another ten years of development, the suburbs will also become urban areas.
Jiang Weiguo nodded and asked: "Do you have anything promising?"
"Not yet." Xu Liang shook his head.
"I have a place that is suitable for you, but it is a bit far from your current headquarters."
"Where is it?"
Jiang Weiguo stood up and walked to his desk. , took a stack of information and handed it to Xu Liang's hand.
"This place is called 'World Style Garden'. It is located in Fengtai District, close to Yuquan Road Station of Metro Line 1. Construction began in the early 1990s with an investment of 300 million. Later, due to some political reasons, the construction was completed in 1996 It stopped and continues until now.”
Xu Liang has heard about this world style garden.
On the Internet, this place is called the number one ruins in Beijing, and it is a paradise for many adventurers.
“Now the city has taken back this place, but because the land is too large and there are still many recreational facilities built at that time, the land leveling cost is too high, so it has never been developed.
< br>But it’s just right for you.”
Xu Liang looked at the information about the World Customs Park and found that the total area of the entire land reached 680 acres, which was more than the 500 acres he wanted.
“Will the entire 680 acres of land be given to us?”
“If you want it, I’ll give it to you. If you don’t want it, the city will keep it.”
“ Yes, of course. It just so happens that we can build some apartments for the company’s employees, and it won’t look like a pile of ruins next to it when the headquarters is built.
Although the land in Fengtai District is not as valuable as the core urban area now, the potential for future appreciation is still great, so there is no reason to refuse it if it can be acquired.
Jiang Weiguo nodded.
The 680 acres of land are a whole. It is better not to separate them.
And he also wants to solve the ruins of the World Customs Garden at once and completely wash away the stain on this capital city.
"How much did this land cost to sell to us?"
"The current land transfer price in Fengtai District is about 600,000 for one acre of land. For 680 acres, it is 400 million. 0.8 million. Combined with the city’s support policies for high-tech enterprises.
We can give you a 20% discount and waive the rest of the tax. "
Xu Liang did the math. In this case, he only needs to pay 320 million.
"Can we pay this money in installments? "Xu Liang asked.
"How long do you want to divide? "
"One year. ”
Jiang Weiguo thought for a moment and nodded.
“Thank you Jiang Shuji.”
“No need to thank me. If it weren’t for the fact that your Hongmeng financing was too big this time and it had come into the leadership’s sight, I wouldn’t have given you these discounts. "
Xu Liangliang blurted out in excitement.
“Which leader?”
Jiang Weiguo glanced at him, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You will know when the time comes. Do your business well and don't lose your reputation as a Hongmeng multinational technology company."
Xu Liang nodded.
