Chapter 1005: Mixed Blessings
"Ding!"
The mobile phone rang, Gu Xiu finished his morning tea time, stood up and came to the tall company building, thoughtful.
"Boss!"
At this moment, Ma Huateng trotted over quickly, and as soon as he came to Gu Xiu, he couldn't help but say:
"You're finally here!"
"It's been a long time since you've been to a penguin, and everyone even thinks you've forgotten about us, boss."
In this regard, Gu Xiu just smiled slightly:
"Didn't you do a good job, I won't come, aren't they all the same?"
"How can it be the same?" Ma Huateng shook his head again and again:
"Boss, you don't know what kind of image you have in the hearts of everyone in the company, everyone is your fanatical fan."
"In the past, you just reminded you and made a little suggestion, and every time you proved your excellent vision afterwards."
"You haven't paid much attention to the penguins in the past two years, boss, and you're really afraid that you won't want to give us any more advice."
Towards this, Gu Xiu smiled and shook his head.
Truly.
The development of the penguin can basically be said to be all the way forward on his prescribed route.
From the time he took over to the present.
Penguins can be said to have a smooth journey, no matter what kind of situation they are facing, what kind of problems they face, they always seem to be able to avoid them accurately in advance.
It is a company that has hardly ever encountered difficulties and problems.
Of course.
The difficulties and problems mentioned here are mainly due to the fact that they have not gone crooked in the general direction, after all, even if Gu Xiu is a god, he can only give the subsequent development direction.
Plainly.
Gu Xiu is like an ordinary person who uses navigation, using navigation to set the initial place and destination.
As for how to match the route and what the road conditions are on the way, all need to be handled by the penguins themselves, and what Gu Xiu can guarantee is that only the penguins can go farther and farther on this road, and go more and more successfully.
So.
Ma Huateng's words must be suspected of being sycophants, Gu Xiu's face is not big enough, and he can blame all the penguin's achievements on his own achievements.
"Is the address of the new company ready and when will it be moved?" Gu Xiu asked about business.
The penguins are moving.
The office building in front of you is the office building rented by Penguin before, although with the development of Penguin, Penguin has become a star company in this building.
At the same time, it is also the largest tenant.
But......
Tenants are tenants after all, and the real estate in Pengcheng is getting hotter and hotter.
Rents are also increasing year by year.
Although for today's penguins, this rent is just a small amount of money, but since it has become the top Internet company in China, it can't still be crowded in an office building with other small companies?
Don't want the company's image?
Besides.
As Penguin grows, so does the company's business, and so do its departments and staff.
And this also means:
They still have to continue renting on top of the two floors they have now.
As expenses increase, so do troubles.
The top brass simply held a high-level meeting, at which a decision was unanimously adopted.
Instead of paying a lot of rent every year, it is better to start with real estate at a low price when the real estate is at a price a day.
And then.
Build a building of your own!
As early as two years ago, Penguin still relied on Ma Huateng's relationship and used the reputation of Penguin to buy 30 acres of land to build the Penguin headquarters.
In fact, 30 acres is exceeded, after all, their original plan was just to build a small building.
Although the penguins have had a good ride for a few years, they have made a lot of money.
But it is not enough to be able to directly become a real estate tycoon, and unceremoniously say that you will build a building.
But.
When the topic of discussion in their meeting was sent to Gu Xiu, Gu Xiu didn't say a word, and directly gave a reply:
"Take as much as you can."
"If you're not afraid of more, you're afraid of less, money is not a problem!"
This reply can be regarded as a shot in the arm for the penguin, and without saying a word, he directly took 30 acres of land, and then directly began to prepare for the construction of the building.
In these two years.
While lamenting the boss's wealth, everyone is looking forward to the completion and relocation of the new office building, and even some people want to grab a good workstation when the time comes.
But no one thought of it.
After their land was taken for half a year, the real estate price in Pengcheng soared, and the price of the 30 acres of land they won directly doubled in just one year.
And now, those 30 acres of land have even become a sky-high real estate, which makes countless people worship their boss.
Of course.
Today's penguins have no way to digest all these thirty acres of land.
For this.
They found top international design firms and assigned them specialized designs.
This piece of land has been divided into three phases of the project.
Calculate the time.
Now the first phase of the project should have been almost completed.
"Alright, already."
Speaking of this, Ma Huateng called an excited:
"Just last week, our Penguin Building 1 was completed, and the interior decoration and exterior greening construction are still underway."
"However, it is currently expected that it will be completed by the end of this year, and everyone will move to the new company by then, and we will definitely be able to celebrate the New Year in the new building this year."
"I have to say, boss, you are really awesome, when I was asked to take that piece of land before, I was still a little frightened, but I didn't expect that in just two years, that piece of land has become our biggest back road!"
"Real estate is really profitable!"
"In the future, when the company is bigger and has more money, I plan to go to places like Modu and Yanjing, and also build a penguin building."
"Tsk, it's good to think about it."
Hearing this, Gu Xiule couldn't help but touch his chin.
Not to mention.
It's a pretty solid thing.
Of course.
Real estate belongs to real estate, at least one penguin building, so that the penguin is stretched, just bank loans have borrowed a lot of money, as for the rest, for the time being, you can only think about it.
The immediate priority.
Or the development of penguins.
According to the usual practice, the first thing to do is, of course, to introduce the current results, not surprisingly, Penguin's instant messaging business is the most brilliant, basically three young people, at least one is a Penguin user.
Through the development of the instant messaging field, the Weibo function opened by Penguin has also won the support of many people.
Weibo this model.
Gu Xiu basically completely copied the model of the new wolf, and later added the function of Facebook.
And with the popularity and marketing efforts of Penguin today, this product has just been launched, and it has become the largest discussion community in China for the first time.
Especially after the opening of functions such as hot search and big V certification.
A large number of celebrity idols, well-known companies, and even many official authorities have also chosen to settle in Weibo, and places such as studios, people's livelihood forums, and distribution post bars that were still surviving were directly laid down on the spot.
Interestingly.
Subsequently, some Internet companies discovered this fierce rival and wanted to compete for it at the first time.
Time.
Remakes, strengthened versions, and improved versions of all kinds of Weibo have appeared, even if they were originally genuine new wolves.
But alas.
In the world of the Internet, or in any industry, it is usually a step by step.
Especially when the penguin who holds this product is now the well-deserved king of Internet instant messaging, it is difficult for latecomers to shake it.
To know.
Even the penguin Weibo, which failed in the last fiasco in his previous life, actually almost overtook the latecomers and pushed the new wolf into the fire pit.
This is also because the penguin just regarded this thing as a defensive product, and did not invest too much energy and too much power in itself, which led to the subsequent failure.
But this life is different.
Gu Xiu understood the importance of Weibo from beginning to end, and also conveyed his optimism to Ma Huateng at the first time.
Penguins in this life.
There is no shortage of funds!
There is no shortage of talents!
There is no shortage of vision!
Even the restriction that the major shareholder would be restrained in the previous life does not exist at all.
Arguably.
The penguin of this life is a truly invincible giant ship!
Naturally, on the Weibo project, the penguin can almost be described as devastating, at least in the entire domestic Internet market.
There are no opponents!
In addition to Weibo, the game platform after that is a little insufficient.
After all, the penguins of this life.
It's not the big company in the previous life that had a world-class understanding of player wallets and games.
Opposite.
Penguins in this life.
There is almost no experience in gaming, and the only thing they can do is rely on their huge traffic and user base.
Sit and eat the mountain empty.
Of course, this word is actually not derogatory, at least at present, there are a lot of excellent users of Penguin, and even the online games that other companies come to put on the shelves, basically can bring out a lot of traffic.
But......
Single-player games are a little bleak.
Most of them just use their platform as an online game launcher, and as for the single-player games that need to be bought out, the number of purchases is obviously low.
"Domestic players do not have a strong sense of authenticity, and now many stand-alone games can basically be played directly in Internet cafes, and no one is willing to spend money for a stand-alone game at present."
"In the minds of more people."
"Instead of spending money to buy these games, it's better to buy a portable hard drive and copy the games in an Internet café, and then install them on your computer to play directly."
"So ......"
"The development of this area is very bad, and it is also for this reason that although our overseas version of the product has been almost polished, it has not been released online for a long time."
Speaking of the game platform, Ma Huateng was a little helpless.
He wanted to get this thing up too.
But alas.
Conditions not permitted.
I'm afraid it's hard for us to stick to this project......
