Chapter 195: Ship Headquarters

Everything is going according to the booking.

In addition to Blizzard's original team, the company has expanded in Sam's Country for about 100 software developers during this period of time.

So many developers, in addition to localizing the micro-hardware software mall and maintaining the released software, have vacated a lot of personnel, and they can't let people be idle, you know, the salary of the American imperialists is very high, and they don't support idlers.

It seems that it is time to move forward with the big project that you have been preparing for a long time.

After nearly a year of intensive construction, the Micro Hard Company's branch in Sam Country has been completed.

Looking at the strange building in front of them, the employees who were about to move into the new company couldn't help but look surprised.

At the earliest, Zhang Yi solicited architectural ideas from all over the world, and it was vigorous. But unexpectedly, after tossing and turning for a few months, he received thousands of submissions, but he did not see a pair of architectural ideas that he was satisfied with.

In a fit of rage, he announced the use of his architectural idea, and at the time, some media outlets in Sam's Country heard the news and laughed at it in the newspapers.

You're a software developer, and you're a songwriter master, plus you're pretty skilled. Now, I want to engage in cross-border architectural creativity, isn't it funny! It is estimated that the architectural creativity will be laughable and generous.

Zhang Yi, who has always liked to scare people, saw these doubts, but uncharacteristically did not refute them, and his performance at that time disappointed the media who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

It didn't take long for the company's headquarters in Sam Country to quietly begin construction.

But the vast majority of the construction workers are from the Celestial Empire.

There is no other reason, just because the workers in Sam Country are all uncles, not to mention the extremely high wages, unwilling to work overtime, and unwilling to catch up with the progress of the project.

Perhaps the average Celestial Empire enterprise can only succumb to such a construction environment.

But Zhang Yi, who has become a climate in Sam's Country, didn't, simply ignored the Sam's Country engineering contractor like the uncle and kicked it away.

Eventually, the project was handed over to a construction company in the Celestial Empire, and from the very beginning of construction, a high fence was erected around the construction site, cutting off everything from the outside world.

The few Sam's country logistics personnel were also required to sign strict confidentiality agreements.

Therefore, it was not until the day that the company moved into the new office building that the new building was removed from the fence, revealing its true face.

From the first glance of this building, Zhang Yi's eyes showed a smile of conspiracy and success.

If you have visited Apple's headquarters in your previous life, you will probably recognize it at a glance, and this new office building of micro-hardware software in Sam's Country Silicon Valley is completely plagiarized, and Apple's new headquarters in Cupertino, which was only completed in 2016.

Of course, compared with Apple's new headquarters, the new headquarters of micro-hardware software is much smaller than it, and the construction period is not more than a year. The cost of construction is surprisingly low.

Even so, the cost of construction exceeded $300 million

At present, the park is only mostly completed, and the remaining small tails can be slowly constructed without affecting the work.

The new headquarters building is a circular building with three basement floors and five floors above ground. ...~iQiwen iqix ...!fastest update

The roof and all four sides are made of glass, but unlike ordinary glass, these glasses not only have the function of light transmission of ordinary glass, but also have the function of solar panels.

These dense solar panels, which can be programmed to change with the angle of the sun, are much more efficient at harvesting solar energy than ordinary solar power plants.

80% of the energy consumed in the building is generated by a solar power system, and the remaining power gap is used by a biogas power plant from Siemens.

Of course, the interface to the grid is also reserved, but it may never be used.

Due to the extremely low building density, the building itself produces little to no heat island effect.

For 8 months of the year, there is no need to use heating or air conditioning at all, only natural wind and the angle of the solar panels are used to achieve the function of heating or air conditioning.

In the middle is the oversized courtyard, covered with greenery, which can be kept evergreen even in winter thanks to the ring building, sheltered from the wind, and the geothermal heat generated by solar panels.

In the park, the degree of greenery has reached 85, far exceeding the greening standards of all other buildings.

The company's employees are full of praise for the new headquarters, and it is refreshing to think about working in such an environment.

The peculiar building also attracted the attention of the media, and there were reporters everywhere, and even big media outlets, in order to get a full view of the park, with Zhang Yi's consent, rented a helicopter for filming.

For a while, all kinds of heated discussions about this building were wildly hyped up in the Sam's Country media.

Even Blizzard's CEO Alan Adhan was amazed by the boss's generosity, and even some Blizzard employees, suggested that Adhan move Blizzard into the company's new headquarters.

"Boss, I want to ask, if Blizzard also moves into the new headquarters, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Of course, Blizzard is the branch I value the most! What's more, the company's headquarters has a design capacity of 5,000 people, and it has reserved your office space, if you like, you can move in at any time!"

Adhan is also a little hesitant, the current Blizzard headquarters, since the establishment of the company, has been here, and it is really a little reluctant, not to mention, there are many employees' homes here, once they move out, there will definitely be no less trouble.

However, thinking about the new spaceship-shaped, dream-like new headquarters, such a whimsical and strange building, it is really desirable!

Working in such a place is definitely one of life's great pleasures.

Forget it, in the company, let's hold a public opinion vote! Those who are willing to move to the new headquarters and those who are not willing to move will listen to whoever has the most votes.

You know, a company like Blizzard

In addition to the popular game characters, the most important asset of the company is these game developers, who are the greatest asset.

Unlike other companies in Sam's Country, Blizzard employees have a very low turnover rate. Even if they have left the company, most of them will receive financial and legal support from Blizzard, and the atmosphere of the company is very harmonious, almost like a big family.

After making the necessary explanations, Blizzard conducted a company-wide vote, and after some hustle and bustle, the results of the vote were counted. The original development team of more than 100 people, plus more than 200 new artists and game testers, a total of more than 300 people. More than 99 people agreed to move to the new office park, and only two or three employees were reluctant to relocate because of family reasons.

In fact, Zhang Yi misestimated Sam's people's concept of buying a house, you must know that no matter when, the Blizzard employees who rent houses are far beyond the purchase of houses, plus the testers are basically all from the country of sticks and the Celestial Empire, and they have just worked for less than two years, and it is impossible to buy a house here.

That's why the plan to move the headquarters will go so smoothly!

The voting results were immediately reported to Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi was unwilling to give up on these employees who did not agree, so he convened them together and held a conference call to explain their practical difficulties one by one and give solutions.
