Chapter 478 Inspect the construction site of the Headquarters Building

At 10 a.m. on Tuesday, executives from Xu Qing's various companies came to the construction site of the headquarters building.

The headquarters building was located in the city of San Jose, where Silicon Valley is located.

Today's Silicon Valley is far less prosperous than later generations, several major Internet giants have not yet been born, the founder of Google is still in college, and the founder of Facebook is still in middle school.

Apple is not out of the quagmire of imminent bankruptcy, and the whole of Silicon Valley is in a depression.

In recent years, Xu Qing has come to Silicon Valley very rarely, first, there are not many large companies in Silicon Valley, and second, Xu Qing's company's office is basically not in Silicon Valley.

But Silicon Valley will definitely shine in the future, and Xu Qing, a butterfly, can't change the fact.

Xu Qing came to the construction site of the headquarters building, looking at the dense construction tools on the construction site and a large number of construction workers, Xu Qing felt very good.

According to the plan, the headquarters building will be completed within two years and then put into use.

Now Xu Qing's headquarters has been in the Future Group, and he feels uncomfortable when he works.

Moreover, the office building of Future Group is also rented, and more precisely, the office space of most of Xu Qing's companies is rented.

Xu Qing's companies are valued at more than $70 billion in value, and they still don't have their own office buildings.

It's ridiculous to say, some unscrupulous media even make a fuss about this, satirizing Xu Qing and his company.

But there is no way, who made Xu Qing's company develop too fast, in just a few years, it has developed into what it is now, and the office building can not be built in a year and a half.

Fortunately, this situation will change soon, and the locations of the office buildings of the various companies have been selected, and they are under construction or about to be built.

If it is other companies of the same level or several levels lower, their headquarters building will not be completed in 7 or 8 years from project approval to commissioning.

Xu Qing's office building shortened this time to about 3 years.

Xu Qing could wait for 7 or 8 years, and he asked the construction team to build the office building as quickly as possible.

Of course, quality must be guaranteed, and quality is the top priority.

If Xu Qing were to sit in the newly established headquarters building and be crushed to death by the falling ceiling, Xu Qing would become the first reborn person in history to be stoned to death by the ceiling.

It's tragic to think about.

Xu Qing chatted with the person in charge of the construction site and asked him some construction-related questions.

The construction site adopts a three-shift work and rest system, which means that the construction site is carried out 24 hours a day.

When building at night, it will be as quiet as possible.

There is not much population around the construction site, and the nearest residential area is 3 km away.

Silicon Valley is big, and there is a lot of desolate land, so don't think that Silicon Valley is full of companies.

From the beginning, Silicon Valley planned a large area for future companies to build office buildings.

I have to say that the planners are very discerning, and Silicon Valley has enough land to attract some large companies.

Xu Qing asked the person in charge, the worker has no opinion.

The person in charge smiled and said: "How can those workers have an opinion, the salary of working at night is 3 times that of the day, and many people want to work night shifts." ”

Xu Qing nodded: "That's good, the safety of the workers comes first, and their emotions can't be ignored, don't make any incidents, and the trade union." ”

The person in charge knew about it and immediately assured Xu Qing: "I will manage those workers, and I will also take care of the union." ”

The labor union in the United States is too good, and Xu Qing asked the construction team to get the union at the beginning.

If they don't get them, if they come out in three days or two to do something, although Xu Qing is not afraid, he is also annoying.

The American union is not only good because it has a lot of American workers to support it, but more importantly, because the union has money.

More than half of the Fortune 500 companies in the United States have union pension funds as their largest shareholders.

What a huge force this is, and the combined assets far exceed Xu Qing.

The United States is a capitalist country, the power of capital is the greatest, capital is money to put it bluntly, and the union has so much money, of course its strength is strong.

Everyone knows that the wages of American workers are very high, higher than many white-collar workers who sit in office buildings.

An important reason why these workers can have such high wages is because the unions support them and fight for their rights.

If the union supports them so much, they will in turn support the union very much, and the two support each other, and the fighting power is very strong.

Many companies hate unions, but they can't say it, and even big companies like Ford and GM can't say anything about unions.

Because of the existence of labor unions, the wages of workers at Ford and GM are nearly half higher than those of Toyota.

With so much extra wages, Ford they couldn't all transfer it to consumers, they had to swallow it themselves, and then Ford they almost went bankrupt.

The combined market capitalization of Ford and GM is less than half that of Toyota, which is a tragedy.

Back then, Ford invented the world's first assembly line and was the world's largest automobile company......

Although GM did not sit on the throne of the world's first automobile company, it was once very good, as early as World War II, it provided tens of billions of dollars of materials for the Allies, and made a lot of money, and now it is ......

Ford and GM said, you Xu Qing don't say it anymore, we will cry again if we say it.

Xu Qing chatted with a few more workers, asking them how they felt and if they had any grievances, they would solve them if they raised them.

The workers all looked at the person in charge of the construction site next to Xu Qing, and no one spoke.

Xu Qing assured them that no one would retaliate against them, and Xu Qing told them, what are you afraid of, you still have a trade union.

The workers' faces were immediately happy, Xu Qing was right, there was a trade union behind them, what were they afraid of.

One worker immediately told Xu Qing that there could be more food on the construction site.

Now the food they eat is uniform, but they are all from all over the United States, and some foods are not very fond of eating.

However, construction site construction is very physically demanding, and they must eat and drink enough to be able to work, so they have to eat if they don't like it.

This is a problem, although the cuisine of the United States is far less rich than that of China, Americans in different regions will also have some food preferences and will not like to eat some foods.

It's not a wonderful feeling to come across something you don't like to eat and then force yourself to eat it.

For example, Xu Qing hates pork liver very much, and if he is forced to eat pork liver, he will vomit.

This problem is not a big problem, but it is a little troublesome, and the person in charge of the construction site immediately said that it will be solved as soon as possible.

Xu Qing asked them if they had any questions, just ask.
