Chapter 891: Digging People
"Well done! Daisy. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zheng Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
"Boss, we have also inspected various office buildings in Shenzhen, and initially plan to lease a five-story tower in the high-tech park in Nanshan District as the operation center and R&D center of Lightning Technology, with a total area of 7,000 square meters and an annual rent of 1.08 million yuan. Of course, the science and technology park also gives this option to buy, and if this building is purchased, it will cost more than 13 million yuan. "Daisy. Bryant said.
Zheng Xiao thought for a while.
07 is also the year of rapid rise in housing prices in Shenzhen, however, at this time, Shenzhen's housing prices are not too expensive, with an average price of only more than 13,000.
But this price will soon be history.
In this way, it is still the most cost-effective to buy.
However, in Zheng Xiao's plan, the scale of lightning technology will enter the world's top 500 in five years at most. Buying such a small building is purely limiting one's own development pattern.
It is better to save money to buy a piece of land in the science and technology park, and after a year or two, the company will make money and directly build a lightning technology building.
Thinking of this, Zheng Xiao said to Daisy: "Daisy, my suggestion is to rent this small building for the time being, you can find suitable vacant land in Shenzhen City, and buy the land for the construction of the company's headquarters building and factory in the future, what do you say?" ”
"The boss thinks very carefully, but now the land price in Shenzhen is very high, and one acre of land has generally been sold for up to two or three million yuan, and the cost of land purchase is very high. According to our survey, the price of land in the city is rising rapidly, and if we can't buy the land as soon as possible, it is estimated that the cost of delaying the purchase will be much higher than now. Daisy said.
It takes five or six billion yuan to buy two or three hundred acres of land in Shenzhen, and the current amount of money provided by Zheng Xiao to Daisy is only 64 million US dollars, which is not enough to buy land.
Zheng Xiao smiled and said, "Daisy, you don't have to worry about the funding, you probably read today's New York Times, right?" ”
"Yes, I did." Daisy said.
She came this time, in fact, hoping to persuade Zheng Xiao to continue to increase investment.
His ambition is big, but if he wants to support such a development ambition, he must have more financial support.
It's a given.
Daisy also knows that with Zheng Xiao's current family background, it should not be a problem to invest another 100 million US dollars.
"I have already provided you with 64 million US dollars, and on this basis, I will make up another 100 million 36 million US dollars to you, and I can give you a total of 200 million US dollars for the total investment in the early stage, it should be okay, right?" Zheng Xiao said.
"Enough! With so much investment, I think I can try to make the first smartphone of our own on the eve of the Chinese New Year. Daisy was delighted.
"That's good, go ahead and do it! I support you unconditionally. Zheng Xiao said with a smile.
"Boss, there is one more thing I want to report to you, I have found a candidate who is suitable to be the president of our new company's R&D center through a headhunting company." Daisy said.
"Really? That's really great. Zheng Xiaoxi said.
"Look at it, here's his profile." Daisy handed a resume to Zheng Xiao with both hands.
Zheng Xiao took it and looked at it.
The owner of this resume is named Brooke. Anderson.
Brooke. Mr. Anderson, 38, worked for Apple for many years before co-founding Android with Andy Rubin in 2002 to develop a smartphone operating system called Android.
Later, Google acquired Android in 2005.
After more than a year at Google, Brooke Anderson chose to leave and is currently at home, not yet finding a home.
This person graduated from an Ivy League university with a major in computer science, and his programming talent was fully demonstrated during his college years, and he has many years of experience in high-tech companies.
Seriously, Zheng Xiao was thrilled when she saw this resume.
It's so suitable!
What a gift from God!
In particular, this person has participated in the development of the Android system and is still the main creator. This Nima is a baby!
"Perfect fit! Daisy, does this person have any requirements? Zheng Xiao asked.
"Boss, I also think he's a good fit, but when the headhunter told him that we were a new company, he lost interest in us." Daisy said.
"Gotta win him!" Zheng Xiao said.
"My plan is to visit him personally and talk to him about our development prospects, boss, can you come with me?" Daisy asked.
"Of course, I'm more than happy to." Zheng Xiao said.
"Anderson is in San Francisco right now, and I've already bought two tickets for this afternoon." Daisy said with a smile.
This girl has already calculated everything.
Zheng Xiao tapped her with her finger and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll fly over with you this afternoon." However, Daisy, have you made an appointment with the other person to meet? ”
"Yes, I made an appointment with him to have coffee together tomorrow morning." Daisy said.
"It's very efficient." Zheng Xiao praised.
"I'm worried right now, I'm afraid we won't be able to convince Brooke Anderson to join us, and he's now bent on starting his own business." Daisy said.
"As long as I pass, I will be able to convince him." Zheng Xiao said confidently.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zheng Xiao flew to San Francisco with Wei Minggang and two other bodyguards and Daisy.
At 9 a.m. the next day, Zheng Xiao and Daisy rushed to Brooke Anderson's house.
The car pulled up outside a three-story townhouse on the outskirts of the city.
As soon as Zheng Xiao got out of the car, he saw a tall thin white man with a bright head in the yard pruning flower branches.
He saw Zheng Xiao and Daisy walking towards his yard, and immediately stopped working and greeted him.
"Hello Mr. Anderson, I'm Daisy. Bryant, this is my boss Zheng Xiao, I think you must be familiar with him. Daisy introduced herself, and at the same time introduced Zheng Xiao solemnly.
"Hello Miss Bryant!"
Brooke Anderson raised his eyebrows, showing a strong interest in Zheng Xiao.
"It turns out that the investor of Lightning Technology Company is the famous Zheng, which is really unexpected!" Brooke Anderson smiled and shook hands with Zheng Xiao.
"Mr. Anderson, it's a pleasure to meet you." Zheng Xiao said with a smile.
"Come into the house! I had someone make some good coffee and try it together! Brooke Anderson said with a smile.
"Thank you!"
Zheng Xiao and Daisy followed Anderson into his home.
Anderson led them straight to a reception room on the second floor.
