American Fortune Life

After the meeting ended, the news that the company was going to build a new headquarters quickly spread throughout the company, and the company immediately became lively, and everyone got together to discuss the design plan of the headquarters in their minds.

And more people are very interested in the amusement park concept put forward by the big boss at the meeting, especially the proposal of the "Minecraft" pixel block building that was discussed later made everyone feel interesting.

It takes less than a year, maybe even half a year, to move into the new headquarters after buying land, designing plans, and modular buildings. This makes the code farmers who have long been fed up with the crowded working environment very happy.

And the employees of the APP mall of the company next door who also got the news were chattering with envy and hatred. Everyone was crowded in the broken building. There must be nothing to compare with. The software mall with good earning power is a bit boring up and down.

Not only ordinary employees feel depressed, a group of executives also squeezed into the office of CEO Michael Wright, strongly demanding to get involved. They also know that if they have money, they will definitely have no way to use it like running 12 money printing machines. Compared with game companies, they don't expect to build a headquarters building alone, but their software mall can jointly build a headquarters with game companies.

Michael Wright pondered for a while, feeling that the idea was highly feasible, and immediately ran to the office of the big boss upstairs next door, asking for cooperation with the game company.

"Blair, the two of us are in a strategic alliance. We will offer 100 million dollars to build a headquarters park with you. We will use it together. Wouldn't it be great to continue to be neighbors?"

"Michael, we really don't need money..."

Andy looked down at the financial statements of the two companies, ignoring the fact that the CEOs of the two companies sitting across from him were arguing with each other, and it was inappropriate to favor either one.

However, he really doesn't want the Liberty City APP Mall to be involved in the construction of the headquarters park this time. For the APP Mall, he will raise funds sooner or later, and even sell a part of the shares to Google to win over the other party. Let the other party give up setting up an application store alone.

And once he chooses to raise funds, although he is still the boss, there will be many more shareholders. He doesn't want these shareholders to take advantage of the game company.

"Boss, look..." Blair was a little moved by Michael's tricks. Of course he would like to spend less money, and both companies are owned by Big Boss, and the relationship between the two companies is very close. When the time comes to build the headquarters, There is nothing wrong with two companies working in one building.

Andy looked up at Michael, who was looking eagerly, and said after a moment of pondering: "The software mall can spend 100 million to help the game company build the headquarters. After the headquarters is completed, two floors will be left for you to design by yourself, but you will pay a little bit every year. The rent will be directly deducted from the 100 million li, and if there are any changes in the future, the rent will be discussed separately."

Hearing what the big boss said, Michael Wright immediately understood what the boss was thinking. Knowing that this was the boss's way of guarding against future financing, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, and glanced at Blair, who was sorry and I couldn't help him, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"Sure enough, our godson will never be as good as our own son! It's completely partial!"

"Let's leave it at that. By the way, Michael, how are the preparations for the consumer lucky draw?" Andy made a final decision. He didn't want to continue discussing this issue at the headquarters, but asked about the promotional lucky draw in the software mall.

"The plan is basically completed. There will be many kinds of activities this time. For example, for every $10 spent, you can get a chance to draw a lottery. The lowest prize is a five-dollar shopping mall voucher, and the 10,000th person who spends after the event starts Customers, the 20,000th customer... The user who spends and downloads in units of 10,000 will get a 1,000-dollar shopping mall coupon. For this event,

A large number of event limited edition products have been customized, such as game peripheral T-shirts, dolls, mouse pads, headphones, mice and other products, which can be purchased with coupons or redeemed with consumption points. "

Hearing Michael's report, Andy's eyes lit up, he nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It's a good plan, the copyright issue must be handled well, so there are so many peripherals, there should be no copyright disputes, and the copyright fee should not be in arrears. All developers understand one thing, that is, our software store is a safe, reliable, trustworthy sales platform that can bring them a steady stream of benefits.”

"Understood, we also hope that through this promotional activity, our customers can improve their personal information, analyze their preferences based on their consumption records, and prepare for targeted game advertisements in the future..."

Hearing this, Andy couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. These guys are all Jing, and they are all starting to pay attention to big data information databases.

After thinking for a while, Andy stood up and said to Michael: "Let's go, go and have a look at your side. Regarding the construction of the headquarters of the Mockingjay game company this time, I will not favor one over the other. During the construction, I will follow the two The company's carrying standard construction, when the right time comes, will also rebuild the headquarters for you."

As for the boss's appeasement promise, Michael understood the boss's plan, so naturally he would not have any objections, "I understand the boss."

. . . . . .

If you want to build a headquarters, you need a large enough land. For the Mockingjay game company, which is not short of money, the land price is cheap during the bursting period of the US real estate bubble, so it is natural to choose the bigger the better.

Although a company headquarters building that can accommodate 5,000 people needs a larger area because it is a low-rise building.

When it was learned that the newly emerging Andy Smith's game company was going to build the company's headquarters, the San Francisco city government naturally supported and welcomed the project in San Francisco. After all, it can solve many jobs.

However, in the face of the 50-acre campus land area requested by the game company, the San Francisco city government, which gave the green light all the way, was a little confused. Nima, is this going to build a spaceship?

A dozen acres of land is definitely enough for a company headquarters that accommodates 5,000 people. The problem is that Andy will not let go of this opportunity to take advantage of it, and will not give discounts. Sorry, at worst, we will choose counties and cities that can give preferential prices for land.

As for building the headquarters on the original site of the company, no one, including Andy, has ever thought about it, because the land price in the center of San Francisco is not cheap, and it also involves demolition. Nima, the cost will be very high up.

Want to solve jobs, retain high-quality tax-paying enterprises, and stimulate regional consumption. . . The city of San Francisco sold more than 50 acres of land on the outskirts of the city to Mockingjay Games, and the city council quickly approved the deal.

Now that the land has been settled, invitations will be sent to several large design companies across the United States. Those design companies still attach great importance to the design bidding for the headquarters of Mockingjay, which is already a well-known game company in the United States.

The Mockingjay game company has been very famous in the past year or so. Whether it is "Minecraft", a sandbox game that is popular all over the world and many architectural designers like it very much, or it has no age barriers, it is very popular. The series of favorite games such as "Zombie", "Angry Birds" and "Fruit Swordsman" dominate the sales, and the best-selling games on the download charts have made this game company belonging to the youngest billionaire Andy Smith famous.

Designing the headquarters for such a company is definitely a very attractive thing. The headquarters design plan of a well-known company will undoubtedly make the designer's reputation in the industry skyrocket.

After the design invitation was sent out, this matter has nothing to do with Andy for the time being. He has already expressed his concept, and it is the job of the designers to perfect it. There will be several rounds of screening and competition. Whether it is the first Andy will not participate in the first round of auditions or the second round. He will only decide on two or three proposals in the last round, so as not to be influenced by preconceived preferences.
