Chapter 491: Dawning Mansion
"Due to the scattered rental of office buildings by the group companies, which is not conducive to the communication between companies within the group, and the high rental price of office buildings, Shuguang Group will spend 1.5 billion yuan to build the "Shuguang Building", the building covers an area of 17,368 square meters, composed of two towers in the east and west, the towers are connected by a four-storey skirt, the Middle East Tower is 36 floors high, the West Tower is 26 floors high, with a total construction area of about 210,000 square meters, which is expected to be completed within three years, and then we will face the national construction bidding. ”
Xiao Ran, who is in charge of publicity at Shuguang Film Company, announced it on the official website at the same time, and immediately revealed the news to several media that usually cooperate closely.
The news of this news immediately made the reporters dizzy, and it detonated in the hearts of many reporters like an atomic bomb.
Although for enterprises, there is nothing strange about building their own headquarters office building, but the construction of a headquarters building with a cost of 1.5 billion yuan is absolutely appalling, throughout the country, the cost is higher than this corporate headquarters office building can be described as a handful, and all enterprises with such a scale of office buildings are not top enterprises with tens of thousands of employees. Dawning Films, no, does Dawning Group already have such capital now?
Of course, this capital does not refer to the financial strength, 1.5 billion is indeed a huge number, but it is nothing to the person behind the Shuguang Group, look at the box office of the global blockbusters "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" and "Heartbeat", the profits of these two movies alone are enough for Lin Yuquan to build several such office buildings.
In addition to status, such capital mainly refers to the fact that it is really necessary for Shuguang Group to build such an office building now? It is important to know that the building space with such a large construction area. At least it can accommodate nearly 10,000 people. The total number of staff in Shuguang's various companies is only a few people. Reporters are inevitably puzzled by this.
Of course, such doubts are only fleeting, whether it is really necessary for Shuguang Group to build such a large scale of office buildings has little to do with them, for all reporters, this exciting news is undoubtedly an excellent hype news, can definitely attract the attention of the people.
Reporters from several media outlets immediately took action to report on the Shuguang Building in an all-round way, and the aftermath caused a huge sensation as expected.
"Poof". In an office, a young man who was drinking water suddenly sprayed water on the computer screen, looking incredulous that Shuguang Movie was going to spend 1.5 billion yuan to build a headquarters office building.
The same situation is happening in many places, and apparently after seeing this news, the vast majority of people are in disbelief, well, Lin Yuquan, who is the richest man in the country. There is enough capital to build such an office building, but is it really necessary to repair it? In their impressions. Lin Yuquan's Shuguang companies don't have many employees.
But doubts are doubts, looking at the conceptual design of the Shuguang Building, everyone can't help but admire with their eyes shining, it is really too magnificent, too beautiful.
"Oh, it's so enviable, it's also a film company, and the gap is too big, after two or three years, others Shuguang Film Company will be able to move into such a magnificent office building, and we estimate that we can only work in this dilapidated office building." Where the headquarters of Huayi Brothers is located, during the lunch break, a female employee said resentfully.
"No way, who let the boss of Shuguang Film Company is Lin Yuquan, that is too powerful, if it weren't for this, how could Shuguang Film build such a high-cost headquarters building, there is no film company in China to repair it, our Huayi brothers are already the most profitable among the domestic film and television companies, but the profit a year is only tens of millions." The male clerk next to him sighed.
"That's right, but hasn't our company been initiating the listing process? Maybe it will be listed next year, do you think it is possible for the company to build a magnificent office building after the listing? The female clerk wondered.
"Don't think about it, it's impossible, as far as I know, our company's listing and financing is only a few hundred million, and the top sky is no more than one billion, this money is tight for expansion, how can it be used to build a magnificent office building." Another male employee struck mercilessly.
"Oh." The female staff was immediately a little disappointed, and then said happily: "You said that if I go to Shuguang Film Company for an interview, will others want me?" ”
"Why, I want to go to the Dawning Building to work so much."
"Of course, haven't you looked at the office environment of the headquarters of large companies including Google, Baidu, and Tencent on the Internet? Tsk, there are all kinds of facilities in it, and the staff benefits of Shuguang Film are super good," the female staff immediately gushed.
"The king is always good." The male staff member standing opposite the female staff suddenly said respectfully.
The moment she heard the words, the female employee's body immediately trembled, and she looked behind her reflexively, and her heart suddenly fluttered wildly.
"Hmm." Wang Zhonglei nodded, and after entering his office, he looked at the scenery outside the transparent glass window, and his expression was indescribably complicated, Shuguang Film Company!
Since 1998, when he invested in Feng Xiaogang's film "Endless" and Jiang Wen's film "The Devil is Coming" officially entered the film industry, after 10 years, Huayi Brothers' investment and operation fields involve films, TV series, artist management, records, entertainment marketing, cinemas, and fashion industries, and have achieved remarkable results in these fields. It not only has well-known directors such as Feng Xiaogang, Lu Chuan, Teng Huatao, but also Li Binbin, Huang Xiaoming, Wang Baoqiang, Lin Xinru, Huo Siyan, Ren Quan, Zhang Liangying, Su Youpeng, Deng Chao, Xu Ruoxuan and other domestic first-line actors and singers.
However, such a powerful Huayi brothers have been firmly suppressed by another fast-rising film company in the past two or three years, that film company is Shuguang Films, in terms of film box office, with films such as "Painted Skin", "Red Cliff", "Painted Wall", "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing" and other films, the other party has dominated the domestic film company in the field of making films in the mainland box office for three consecutive years; On the influence of TV dramas, with TV series such as "Soldier Assault", "I Am a Special Soldier", "My Regiment Commander, My Regiment", "Happiness is Like a Flower", "Sweet Honey", "The Story of Deer and Ding", "Latent" and other TV series. The other party's influence in the field of TV dramas is unshakable. "Produced by Dawn. It must be a high-quality product" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In terms of directors, the other party has Lin Yuquan, Ning Hao, Xiao Yang, and Xu Jinglei, and Lin Yuquan alone compares to any film company in the Chinese film industry; In terms of artists, the other party also has popular actors including Zhou Xun , Liu Yifei , Sun Honglei , Liu Ye , Xu Zheng , Gao Yuanyuan , Huang Bo , Wang Luodan , Zhu Yawen , and their influence is above that of Huayi Brothers artists; In terms of cinemas, the other party already has about 40 theaters, while Huayi Brothers has only three, and the other party also has the largest video website in the country and even in Asia. and the super-large-scale Dawning Film and Television City.
Even if Huayi Brothers is indeed a high-quality film and television company, and the development of the film industry in recent years is obvious to all, but due to the existence of Shuguang Films, Huayi Brothers will inevitably be criticized by investors in the process of listing and financing.
After seeing Lin Yuquan spend 1.5 billion yuan to build the magnificent Shuguang Building, compared with the exclamations and admiration of others, he was more envious and saw the continuous growth of the influence of Shuguang films. Its position in the Chinese-speaking entertainment industry will become more and more stable at this point.
Think of these. Wang Zhonglei, who was standing in front of the window, shook his fist vigorously, full of desire for the listing of Huayi Brothers, and must be listed as soon as possible.
As Wang Zhonglei thought, the construction of the Shuguang Building, which cost 1.5 billion, not only caused a huge impact on the public, but also inevitably caused a sensation in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
The domestic construction field also had a great shock because of this news, and many construction companies immediately started the preparatory work, only waiting for the Shuguang Building to bid for the outside world and immediately compete to win the bid.
"Oh, the office building that costs 1.5 billion, I have to say, Yuquan, your handwriting is really amazing." Zhang Yi exclaimed.
"We all watched the film together, but I didn't expect Director Lin to make such a big move in a quiet way." Zhou Liming said with a smile.
"Heh, this is not my toss, it is completely out of office needs, you also know that I have several companies in China, and it is inconvenient to disperse the office." Lin Yuquan smiled, originally he planned to spend 1 billion to build an office building, but later considering the expansion of various companies in the next few years, the plan was adjusted, otherwise it is likely that after the building is completed, it will face the problem of insufficient office space.
The outside world thinks that the current dawn has not yet reached the time to build such a scale of headquarters office building, but they do not know what kind of scale the companies of dawn have developed in the past few years, let alone what kind of scale the companies will expand to in the next few years.
Sugon Film now has more than 500 employees, and is expected to expand to more than 1,000 in the next three years; Sugon.com, together with the Sugon show, has more than 700 employees, and is expected to expand to 1,500 in the next three years. Rainspring Family and Supernova currently have more than 100 employees and are expected to expand to 300 in the next three years; Dawning Publishing House currently has 32 employees, which is expected to expand to more than 100 in the next three years, and Dawning Games has 42 employees, but with the release of "Wild Wild: Rise of the Ape" and the development of multiple games in the future, it will be expanded to at least 500 in the next three years; Shuguang Music currently has 17 employees, and with the launch of The Voice of China, the number of employees may expand to more than 100 in the next year; In addition, Shuguang Cinema Line is expected to have about 40 employees working at the headquarters.
This also means that after the completion of the Shuguang Building, the employees of the various theaters in the Shuguang Cinema Line and the employees of the Shuguang Film and Television Base will have at least 3,500 employees from various companies working in it.
And 3,500 is just a very conservative number, no one knows how far each company can develop with the abundant financial support, and even Lin Yuquan himself does not know whether he will enter other fields in the next few years, so it is not unnecessary to build a Shuguang Building that can accommodate 10,000 employees, and it is completely prepared.
"I don't think there are many employees in your company, so will you be able to use up such a large office building?" Li Shaohong was puzzled.
"I don't know, anyway, it is expected that there will be at least 3,500 employees by then, and I am afraid that the space will not be enough by then, so I would rather build a larger space now." Lin Yuquan chuckled.
Hearing the number of 3,500, the judges were shocked, and at the same time, they were suddenly surprised by the huge scale of the Dawning Building.
"Oh, no wonder, but why didn't you build a high-rise building directly, in fact, a single-family high-rise building is quite magnificent." Li Zongsheng said.
"The higher the building is repaired, the higher the cost, and I am not repairing a commercial building, what do I do if I build so high, as long as the building area is large enough." Lin Yuquan smiled, in fact, there is another consideration for building a high-rise building with two towers, in the future, you can separate the film and television entertainment company from other companies and use a high-rise building respectively.
After the break, everyone continued to watch the film, and while everyone was watching the film, the topic of Shuguang Mansion continued to ferment.
Following the first wave of brief reports on the situation of the Dawning Building, various media outlets then further excavated the news points of the Dawning Building.
"Xinglang Entertainment" specifically in the report in response to people's doubts about whether it is necessary to build Shuguang Building, the report mentioned: "Lin Yuquan has a total of nine companies in China, including Shuguang Film, Shuguang Network, Shuguang Cinema Line, at first glance, for the centralized office of these nine companies, spend 1.5 billion, and build an office building with a construction area of 210,000 It is a little unimaginable, but in fact, the estimated market value of these nine companies is at least more than 25 billion, and if it is really listed, it will be far more than this 25 billion. And these nine companies already have more than 1,500 employees, is this really unnecessary? ”
"Sohu Entertainment" is based on the theme of "Who is more trenched in the big PK of the headquarters building of China's TMT company?" The headline takes stock of the existing or ongoing office buildings of companies including Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, NetEase, Xinglang, CCTV, and Sugon.
At the time of the lively reports of the domestic media, due to Lin Yuquan's influence throughout the scope, major overseas media also reported on the Shuguang Building, which immediately aroused a wave of admiration overseas.
The outside world is lively, how can the interior of the Dawning companies be calm, countless employees are full of joy and pride, but in addition to being happy, at the same time, Dawning Games is falling into the busiest work since the acquisition. (To be continued......)
