On the morning of December 20, in a conference room of Future Group, Xu Qing and Brooke, President of Future Group, Danning, President of Glory Group, and Harris, President of Sunlight Group, were in a meeting.

It always feels strange that the presidents of Glory Group and Sunlight Group went to the Future Group for a meeting.

There is no way, Xu Qing's headquarters company is located in Future Group.

In fact, Xu Qing's headquarters company is very small, with only a few dozen people, mainly to coordinate the relationship between the three major group companies and convey Xu Qing's orders.

The specific business is not handled by the headquarters company, but by the three major group companies.

As the three major groups grew stronger, Xu Qing felt more and more that this model was very bad.

Under this model, Xu Qing's control over the three major group companies is slightly weaker.

Although the shares of the three major group companies are basically controlled by Xu Qing, there are occasional cases of deception and disobedience, and Xu Qing's orders cannot be fully implemented.

At present, there are more than 400 management personnel and more than 5,000 ordinary employees in the three major group companies.

On the other hand, the office space of the three major group companies is rented, which is very bad for a group company with total assets of tens of billions of dollars.

This is another thing that can't be helped, the three major group companies are developing too fast.

From the beginning of 1993 when Xu Qing took over the Carney company to the end of 1995, nearly three years have passed.

In the past three years, the three major group companies have a variety of things to do, and the establishment of a subordinate office location has been completed.

But now this situation has reached the time to be solved, and it is also to solve the problem of Xu Qing's control over the three major group companies.

Today's meeting, in addition to discussing Christmas affairs, is the issue of the company's office location and control.

Xu Qing first said the first topic, the company's office location.

The establishment of an office building is a foregone conclusion, and the main debate is whether the three major group companies will work in one building or each will own a building.

The pros and cons of both are obvious.

The three major group companies are concentrated in one building, which makes communication more efficient and does not waste office space.

Because now the three major group companies together have more than 5,000 talents, and a building of dozens of floors is just right.

If Xu Qing wants to build an office building, he must want a building that is at least a few dozen floors high, and only a few floors or a dozen floors are not considered at all.

Even Xu Qing wanted to build an office building hundreds of meters high, but Xu Qing felt that it was a bit too high-profile to build it now.

At present, no company in the United States has its own office building hundreds of meters high, either under 100 meters, or working in the same building as many companies in a building hundreds of meters high.

Originally, Xu Qing's net worth of tens of billions of dollars was already very impressive, and the establishment of an office building hundreds of meters high would make the limelight even more powerful.

If you can't be too showy, try not to.

Brooke, Denning, and Harris disagreed, and Brooke thought that it would be enough to build a centralized office building, and there was no need to build three, which was a bit of a waste of money.

Denning and Harris believe that four office buildings need to be built, one for each of the three major group companies, one for the headquarters company, and the headquarters company should be the most luxurious.

They believe that with the current assets of the three major group companies, each with an office building, can match the identity, especially the building of the headquarters company.

Although there will be some redundant space when four office buildings are built now, the three major group companies will develop better and better in the future, and there will be more and more people, and sooner or later all the space will be filled.

Xu Qing felt that what the three people said made sense, and after discussing for a few minutes, the preliminary decision was to build 4 office buildings, and finally decided that Xu Qing had to think again.

After all, building an office building is not a trivial matter, because Xu Qing will either not build it, or build a very luxurious one, so the funds involved will not be less.

Although the total assets of the three major group companies have reached tens of billions of dollars, there is little cash flow.

Because these tens of billions of dollars in assets are mainly derived from the valuation of the Future Group.

As long as Future Group is not listed, the valuation of tens of billions of dollars will always be a valuation, not cash.

And even if it goes public, it doesn't mean that Future Group has tens of billions of dollars of cash to use, maybe only a few billion dollars in cash.

Of Xu Qing's three major group companies, only Glory Group has more cash.

The valuation of Honor Group is not as good as that of Future Group, but it has much more cash than Future Group.

Because the main income of Honor Group comes from game sales, and the current game sales can be said to be physical sales, with a lot of cash.

The products of Future Group are basically free, such as Extraordinary Browser, FF instant messaging software, and Future Community, which are free for users to use.

The Future Group's main income is advertising, and nothing else.

This is also the characteristic of Internet companies, with a high market capitalization and very little actual income, and this situation has not changed until Xu Qing's rebirth.

Google's market capitalization is not much lower than Apple's, but its actual income is much lower, which can be said to be a complete explosion.

Companies with high market capitalization and low actual income are not as powerful as companies with high market capitalization and high actual income, and Apple's influence in the original time and space is much greater than that of Google and Facebook.

Xu Qing also wants a company like Apple, but it is not suitable to establish it at the moment, and when smartphones appear, such a company will appear.

The second issue is the control of the headquarters company over the three major group companies, which cannot be solved by the establishment of a single headquarters building.

Xu Qing chatted with the three of them and found that this issue could not be solved without a certain amount of time, and there were a lot of things involved, so Xu Qing had to put down this issue first.

Another day, Peter was called to the meeting, he was a master at this.

The third topic is Christmas, which is the main purpose of today's meeting.

When Xu Qing brought up the third topic, Brooke and the others were stunned.

Christmas trouble?

What's going on? What's going on?

Xu Qing saw Brooke's doubts, only to find that the current people are very weak in thinking about things.

This is not to blame them, because of the development of the Internet in later generations, many companies can combine the Internet to do things.

And now the Internet is just emerging, and people's thinking has not kept up with the speed of the Internet.

In later generations, many companies like to do things, such as shopping festivals on shopping websites, which is a way to do things.

The scope of influence of the troublemakers is large and small, the big ones can be extended to the whole world, and the small ones are in one country.

Xu Qing's three major group companies have different businesses, so Xu Qing feels that their respective content should be different.
