My 1999

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.

"I haven't seen you 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 reporting on Hongmeng's financing some time ago?"

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, what is said in the news is true? Is Hongmeng really valued at US$3.36 billion?"

"Um."

"Honey, you're amazing."

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 live up to 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 keenly noticed that the atmosphere in the company was a little different from before.

That kind of proud emotion and high-spirited self-confidence was 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 have prepared."

Xu Liang took it and put it down after one glance.

First first-tier cities, then 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.

Moreover, let alone them, 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 who knew me and didn’t know me came to join me.

Flattery, flattery, I feel a little jumpy when I walk. "

Xu Liang nodded. It is human nature to love vanity and cling to power. Everyone is the same.

It was the same for him. When so many calls came in, although he was humble on the outside, why wasn't he feeling elated 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 and said, "Remember, don't talk about the inside story of Hongmeng's financing in front of outsiders. We must try to give people the impression that Hongmeng International's financing is equal to Hongmeng's financing."

"I know this, but when will 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."

"Are you talking about office space?"

"yes."

"Hongmeng Huaxia currently has close to 6,000 employees. Excluding the branches in other places, the number of employees at the headquarters is also over 3,000. There is no extra office space for us in Wangjing Building."

The construction area of ​​Wangjing Building is only 34,000 square meters, which is 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.

"Do you have any idea?"

"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 design must be taken into consideration. The current project cost is at least 3 billion Chinese dollars.

"The construction of our headquarters building will not be accomplished overnight. We will buy the land first this year, otherwise the price of the land will be higher the later it is mopped, and the cost will be greater.

And now that we have successfully raised funds, our reputation in the global Internet industry has greatly increased, and we are even known as the number one technology company in China. It is just a good time to strike while the iron is hot and buy 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.

"Do what you want, buy land and build a headquarters." Xu Liang affirmed.

Xie Wen also had a smile on his face.

"Mr. Xu, how much land do you think we should take?"

Xu Liang's face showed contemplation. He still doesn't know what Hongmeng will be like in the future. However, in his last life, he visited the headquarters of JD.com, Alibaba and Penguin under the leadership of a venture capital company.

But what impressed him most was Apple’s flying saucer headquarters.

It 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 500 acres of land from them in the name of building a new headquarters."

"Five hundred acres? Is it too much?" Xie Wen asked in surprise.

Even if all the office spaces of technology companies in Beijing were added up, they would not 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 into the city center."

The capital city now only has 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 of development.

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 will cost 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, we should communicate with the property management of Wangjing Building. After the other tenants of the building expire, they should not rent any more. We at Hongmeng Lease Wangjing Building as a whole.”

Xie Wen nodded, and after the two discussed the issue of buying land, Xie Wen left.

Not long after, Lu Hui walked in.

"Mr. Xu, this is an interview invitation from Beijing TV Station."

"Push it."

“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, when I started doing business myself and saw a lot, I realized that all these guys were bragging.

Various rumors spread later.

I don’t know that my wife is beautiful Liu Qiangdong, I don’t know that my father is rich Wang Congcong, Bei Huansha Beining, Biao Wang Jianlin, Bonima from an ordinary family, regret to create Ajiekma.

"Push it away, just say I don't have time."

"Mr. Xu, this is CCTV's golden column." Lu Hui couldn't help but say.

"I know, I pushed it."

Rather than going to CCTV to brag, he prefers to hide behind the scenes and count money.

And although he is already very rich now, his wings are still not strong enough, he is too exposed, and he can easily cause trouble, so it is better to keep a low profile.

"yes."

"Ask Wei Xiao, the director of Zhurong 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."

Xu Liang pointed to the seat opposite him.

After Wei Xiao sat 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 registered Chinese 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 double.

Of course, predictions are just predictions, whether they can be achieved is another matter.

"Without the "Bubble Hall" development plan provided by Mr. Xu, our Zhurong Studio would not have achieved such good results."

Xu Liang smiled and did not get involved in this.

"Are there any other development plans?"

"not yet."

Xu Liang nodded, stood up, walked to his desk, opened the drawer, took out a document and placed it in front of Xiao Xiao.

"have a look."

The latter picked it up curiously and took a look.

There are five neat characters written in regular script on the title page of the document.

‘Go Kart Racing’.

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.
