In fact, NetEase's real headquarters is in Guangzhou, and there is only one branch in Hangzhou.

However, NetEase's senior management began to plan to build a world-class R&D center in Hangzhou in 08, and if Zhang Cheng is not mistaken, the R&D center should be completely completed around June and July this year.

It is a R&D center covering an area of 87 acres with a total construction area of more than 130,000 square meters, and 70% of the employees in the R&D center have obtained graduate degrees, and almost everyone has an independent office space.

Don't ask Zhang Cheng what he asked so clearly, it's because the spare time in his previous life made him know a lot of unpopular things on Baidu.

At this time, NetEase Hangcheng branch was located in a building.

"It's not like NetEase's pomp. Zhang Cheng looked at the building in front of him and shook his head and said.

It can't be said to be shabby, but such an office location is really much worse than NetEase's status in the industry.

"The R&D center is already under construction, and it is estimated that it will be completed and opened in the second half of the year, and the NetEase building is already in preparation. Xie Donghai chuckled lightly and confided the truth.

Because this is not a secret, Xie Donghai has no doubts when he speaks.

"Tut-tut, such a large R&D center, why don't you move the headquarters directly. Zhang Cheng nodded, and then asked.

This is also something that Zhang Cheng has always been puzzled about, in the future, the NetEase R&D center in Hangzhou will have more than 3,000 employees, which is almost several times the number of NetEase employees, and there is no reason not to relocate the headquarters to Hangzhou.

In fact, in the future, Hangzhou is no worse than Guangzhou.

"That's not something I'm a little minion can guess. Xie Donghai shrugged helplessly, although he is also a leader, but when it comes to high-level decision-making and the company's expansion, he has no capital to participate in.

To put it mildly, that is, he Xie Donghai can't get on the stage yet.

"But what I can tell you is that NetEase's content and games are mainly based on Guangzhou, Yanjing is mainly based on sales and marketing, and Hangzhou should be more focused on blog projects. "Because in 07, there was gossip that NetEase moved its headquarters to Hangzhou.

Originally, NetEase didn't plan to pay attention to it, but the news spread loudly, which made NetEase make a solemn statement, and Xie Donghai's words were part of the statement.

"Then shouldn't I go to Guangshi?" Zhang Cheng looked at Xie Donghai with a frown.

"Part of the game business is in Guangzhou, and the company plans to put the mobile game business in Hangzhou. Xie Donghai explained while pressing the elevator.

Zhang Cheng nodded, watching the elevator door slowly close, the quiet space made him a little nervous and a little excited.

"It's here. "The elevator stopped on the sixteenth floor.

Zhang Cheng followed Xie Donghai into NetEase's office, because it was working time, and NetEase employees seemed extremely busy.

"Come with me. Xie Donghai admonished and walked to the depths of the office.

Zhang Cheng followed Xie Donghai closely, his eyes were looking around, not only Zhang Cheng was looking around, but many NetEase employees were also looking at him.

There is no airtight wall in the world, especially a gossip concentration camp like the company, which spreads faster, especially since they knew Zhang Cheng's name a long time ago.

In fact, they only knew that they were going to work with a game studio on an online mobile game, and that game studio was the dominant player.

Perhaps because of this curiosity, the big guys started looking for news about the studio on the Internet, but they were a little disappointed, so they looked beyond the walls.

This time, they got everything they wanted, the introduction of the game studio, the famous work, the representative work, to put it mildly, in foreign countries, maybe Yixin's name will be more resounding than NetEase's.

Now that the head of the studio has arrived, they naturally want to see what kind of person the person who founded the studio is.

With the curiosity of a group of people above their heads, Zhang Cheng and Xie Donghai walked into an office.

"I'm too young to go here. ”

As soon as the office door closes, most employees start to gather in groups to gossip, knowing that gossip occupies a considerable position in the workplace, and this can even determine whether you can fit into a small group.

"Damn, I'm going to go out and start a business. ”

"You're quitting!"

“。。。。。。 ”

"It's really a talented person from generation to generation, and the waves died on the beach. A programmer with a thirty-faceted face sighed and touched his bald and somewhat thin hair and said.

Zhang Cheng didn't know the gossip of the people outside, and he was now looking at Ding Lei who was sitting in the boss's chair with full curiosity.

Ding Lei, who was also sitting there, had been looking at Zhang Cheng who had entered the door.

Xie Donghai felt the "heat" in the eyes of the two, and left here with interest.

Because he has never met Ding Lei, whether it is in his previous life or in this life, he has only seen it in photos or videos.

With a round face, a slightly chubby figure, a shirt, jeans, a pair of simple glasses, and a gentle and wise light always flashing in his eyes, this is Zhang Cheng's first impression of Ding Lei.

The immature face, the slender figure, and a suit that does not fit make people feel that the other party is too young, a pair of glasses makes people feel a little more mature, and the eyes are also deep, this is Ding Lei's first impression of Zhang Cheng.

The first impression largely determines the perception of others about the person's future, although the two of them can't be said to be right, but the impression is not bad.

"Hello, I'm Ding Lei. In the end, it was Ding Lei who spoke first.

It's so simple that it can't be simpler to introduce yourself, and without the embellishment of the company's position, it is easy for people to eliminate the sense of distance and threat.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng walked over and said with a hint of respect.

It is precisely because of this attitude that Ding Lei's impression in the industry and employees is that it is easy for people to trust and get close.

"Sit down, what do you want to drink?coffee or tea?" Ding Lei smiled and beckoned Zhang Cheng to sit down, asking his opinion like an old friend.

"Tea will do. Zhang Cheng immediately replied.

Even if Zhang Cheng is a human being in two lifetimes, Ding Lei's bearing and free and easy temperament are what he does not have, and he should learn.

"You should drink more tea, and it's better to drink less coffee. Ding Lei nodded, agreeing with Zhang Cheng's choice.

Putting the brewed tea in front of Zhang Cheng, Ding Lei said again: "Actually, I have always wanted to talk to you, but you also know that once this rice bowl becomes bigger, time is not something you can control." ”
