Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: June 2, 2004}

{Location: Flower Planting-Special Zone}

"What's going on, Master? Why do you feel something is different?" Zhang Xinyi gently tugged on Lin Changxin's arm and pointed at Ning Zimo, who was walking not far in front of them.

Lin Changxin took a curious look and found that the boss was still wearing his usual T-shirt and denim pants, and even his backpack was the same IBM backpack that he never changed.

"It seems, there's no difference?" It seemed that Lin Changxin didn't feel any difference, so he looked at his girlfriend in confusion.

He looked full of doubts, which made Zhang Xinyi feel that his naivety was endearing.

This boyfriend, who could usually carefully find out more improvement points in the software requirements, didn't even notice the transparent plastic bag in the boss's hand.

The lunch box with the name "Ning Zimo" in the plastic bag was clearly visible, but he ignored the most important point that should be captured.

No wonder the boss would say that men are all big pigs. Zhang Xinyi felt that it was absolutely right to use it on her boyfriend at this time. She could only remind, "Fool~~Lunchbox~~The boss brought a lunch box today~~

"

Following his girlfriend's instructions, Lin Changxin took another look and finally noticed the difference, "Hey, the boss is tired of working meals? He even started cooking for himself?"

After a pause, Lin Changxin curled his lips and said, "But I think our company's work meals are quite good."

Lin Changxin's summary left Zhang Xinyi speechless for a moment.

No wonder my boyfriend and the boss were born in the same year, the same month and the same day.

As for certain things, they are probably not very different, right?

A person who cannot notice changes in people close to him,

And the other one just picked up the love bento and carried it in a plastic bag.

…

After Ning Zimo walked briskly to the office carrying a lunch box, he was still sitting at his own workstation between the Dibao Trading and Luban Technology office areas.

No matter what the development momentum of various projects is now, the Emperor Penguin office area still has the same style. The desks of Tang Ruiwen and Dong Qianqian are now next to him. As his two secretaries, inside and outside, they now need to work together

a lot of.

Almost everything had to go through them. In fact, many things were gradually no longer suitable for discussion in public. Therefore, they often needed to go to "Baker Street" to discuss it. After all, "Baker Street" turned out to be a secretarial group.

main office location.

Walking to "Baker Street" with Dong Qianqian and Tang Ruiwen, Ning Zimo sighed when he thought of this, "It seems that we will have to make another big expansion next. This time, we have to find a bigger place."

.”

When he said this, Ning Zimo had already opened the door and walked into "Baker Street".

The bento was immediately put into the refrigerator of "Baker Street". Dong Qianqian bought this after she came and saw that he often sat in "Baker Street".

Dong Qianqian, who was following Ning Zimo, looked away from the lunch box. Before Tang Ruiwen was about to speak, she smiled and said, "Dean, your lunch seems to be delicious. I wonder what we can do at noon.

Can’t you also get some light?”

When Ning Zimo heard her words, he didn't even look back, "Okay, I'll share it with you at lunch."

Dong Qianqian joined Emperor Penguin Teacher Tang Ruiwen more than a year later. Although she is not as familiar with her own style of acting as Tang Ruiwen, she is the same type as her future uncle Lu Wensheng who talks less and does more.

It's just that there are still some differences between her and Tang Ruiwen on weekdays. She is less "cold" than Tang Ruiwen, and more "enthusiastic" and a little bit "nonsense". It can be seen that when the "old man" Tang Ruiwen is present, Dong Qianqian

Take the initiative to close the distance with her.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the existence of these things that Tang Ruiwen's expressions became much richer after being affected. Therefore, the combination of one internal and one external secretary who had only been working for a few months saved herself a lot of trouble by being both hot and cold, fast and slow.

So Ning Zimo naturally accepted all the occasional small fights. But this time he saw Dong Qianqian glance at him as soon as he finished speaking. The meaning of that look was hard for Ning Zimo to figure out for a while.

He could only wave his hand and said, "It's still early for lunch, let's talk about work first."

"The recent staff expansion is really rapid, and many young people are here because of your reputation. Mr. Xi said that at least 50% of young people have mentioned Skype during interviews. Many of them want to

To be the next skype team member.”

Tang Ruiwen also smiled as she spoke, "Mr. Xi said that he has specially raised the threshold for your fans, just because he doesn't want people with the name of admiration to sneak in and lower the overall technical level of the team."

Having cooperated with Han Qinghua's Luban Technology for so long, Xi Dan naturally knew exactly what kind of people the Luban team needed. But what Ning Zimo cares about is that Tang Ruiwen's status has indeed changed a lot in recent times. Listen to the meaning of these words,

Is she already able to communicate with the company bosses in a somewhat joking manner?

This was indeed impossible before. Taking a look at Dong Qianqian, Ning Zimo felt that she had contributed a lot.

But the person who had just glanced at him was still looking at him with amusement.

Although it was still just a glance, Ning Zimo still looked at him inexplicably.

Before Ning Zimo had time to think about it, he heard Tang Ruiwen continue, "Recently, we have discussed the expansion of Emperor Penguins with Mr. Xi, Mr. Yang, and Mr. Luo. Based on the comprehensive opinions, everyone is considering whether the Emperor Penguin headquarters should be

Move away from urban areas to areas with greater channel expansion.

For example: salt pan or manhole area.

Especially Mr. Xi and Mr. Yang, considering various issues such as personnel and business expansion, they prefer the YT area of ​​the special zone. Because it is vast and sparsely populated, there are many undeveloped places.

However, there are two problems that are difficult to solve. On the one hand, the development cycle of the areas to be developed is very slow, and on the other hand, these locations are inconsistent with your original goal of setting up the bonded area. So everyone has not yet unanimously agreed, so just wait.

I’ll confirm this after you finish your busy work.”

Salt pans and manholes?

Those are relatively remote areas of the Special Administrative Region.

It's not like Ning Zimo didn't think about it at the beginning.

It's just that Luban Technology and Treasure Hunting Trade, which just started two years ago, need to stay in a place with a relatively high talent density and rely on the special zone's ability to attract foreign talents, so that they can quickly recruit suitable talents when they are not well-known.

But now the Emperor Penguin has become famous thanks to Skype, and many people know the name of the Emperor Penguin. Therefore, the attraction of talents is no longer as weak as that of Lu Ban and Di Bao two years ago.

"Go and call Mr. Yang, Mr. Xi and Mr. Luo,"

Ning Zimo raised his chin at Dong Qianqian. Because it was early in the morning, several people gathered in the small conference room within a few minutes.

As soon as they entered the door, Ning Zimo said directly, "I just heard from Riwen your recent discussion about the office location. I know that you have some problems in choosing, so I want to have a detailed chat with you quickly.

.

I used to consider placing emperor penguins here because the Futian Free Trade Zone has some policies to facilitate the development of our emperor penguins when they were just starting out. But now the development of our emperor penguins has exceeded expectations, so we have to start planning again."

The first two office locations of Emperor Penguin were all found by Ning Zimo. After the last time they were located in the bonded area, they enjoyed the benefits of the bonded area, including imported equipment from {Panda Pictures} and some IC chips developed by {Dianjin Quality Manufacturing}.

Accessories, and some orders from some {Jiubao Trading} companies.

Although the money saved in these places is definitely higher than the cost of office investment, in the long run, the bonded zone is not an excellent place for emperor penguins to live in the future.

The traffic in the bonded area has gradually become difficult for more than a year.

.After Ning Zimo went to and from get off work on time these days, he felt the crowding even more.

Considering the future development of the special zone, if the Futian Free Trade Zone does not break through the development plan of the previous life, it will be very painful for the main force of Emperor Penguins to be placed here.

Rather than doing this, it is better to learn from Hua Wei in his previous life and move the main business of Emperor Penguin to a more remote place in the Special Administrative Region.

Ning Zimo thought for a while and continued, "The space our Emperor Penguins will need is far larger than we currently expect. So for this expansion, we must try to think more long-term. Not only

This is the current development, and there may even be expansion in 5-10 years.

We even have to consider not only the company's own part, but also the parts of our friends and business partners, and the top priority should even be the issue of the next generation of employees."

Seeing doubts in everyone's eyes, Ning Zimo spread his hands and said, "Although we Emperor Penguin currently have less than 2,000 people, so many projects are going on as scheduled. Even if we don't do blind expansion, the growth of all Emperor Penguin's industries will

It is very possible to expand the number of personnel by 10 to 100 times the current level.

Therefore, I think our venue expansion plan can be divided into two parts:

First, the core business center. Like Dibao Trading and Midian Technology, such enterprises can still be located in the Futian Free Trade Zone. They will continue to use the previous model to closely integrate sales work and product development work, and make good use of the bonded zone's

The advantages will last for a few more years.

Internet companies like Luban Technology must still be close to the forefront of media release. Therefore, even if Dibao Trading and Midas Technology move away from here in the future, all projects under Luban will still stay here.

In view of this situation, the current office area of ​​Emperor Penguin must be expanded again. Therefore, our next step needs to be divided into two or three stages. The first step is to buy the entire building of Emperor Penguin. Then we will continue to develop according to

situation, purchasing industrial buildings in the surrounding areas to meet the land needs of the core business center.”

Regardless of what Ning Zimo said about the need for peripheral purchases, the mere mention of the four words "buy the whole building" made everyone's eyes widen.

However, no one will refute it.

Because Emperor Penguin has developed rapidly since 2004 and is about to reach a scale of 2,000 people. The two floors on the 4th and 5th floors are no longer enough.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Ning Zimo continued, "My second step is to prepare to develop micro-cities within the company and surrounding industries based on scientific research. At this stage, I plan to develop the Damo Academy to a certain extent.

To implement it, but in advance we can search according to what you are currently thinking...

The concept of micro-city can only be completed in undeveloped areas such as manholes and salt pans, so complete overall planning can be achieved. So based on this idea, you can go look for undeveloped land, and we will discuss the next step after you find it."

For emperor penguins to develop, Ning Zimo felt that it was inevitable to learn from Hua Wei in his previous life, and the most specific object of learning was Hua Wei's Songshan Lake base.

Huawei Songshan Lake Base is located to the north of Huanhu Road in the south of Songshan Lake, Dongguan. It is a "European-style town" with incomparable lake views. It is adjacent to the Songhu Flower Sea Scenic Area in Songshan Hunan District. It covers an area of ​​1,900 acres and has a total construction area of ​​about 126.7

10,000 square meters, with a total investment of 10 billion yuan.

This project started in September 2014 and will accommodate at least 30,000 Huawei R&D personnel after completion. At the same time, Huawei has also relocated Huawei University, R&D center, pilot center and other functional carriers to Songshan Lake, driving the development of Huawei.

terminal business.

The reason why Huawei did this in the previous life was precisely because the population of the special zone at that time was getting larger and larger, and the industries were becoming more and more dense. As a result, the cost of living for Huawei companies and employees rose sharply, and Huawei had to make arrangements in advance.

, and was implemented many years later.

But the situation faced by Ning Zimo was different. When Emperor Penguin needed to expand, it was still in an era when the cost of living and land prices were relatively low. If the entire industry was laid out according to Hua Wei's idea from the beginning, in addition to the huge burden of land prices,

In addition, the overall operating costs of the enterprise will be much lower now and in the future.

Dong Qianqian saw everyone lost in thought over the concept of "micro-city" and had to admire the boss's "imagination" again.

This group of people can only think of building the Emperor Penguin's own industry, or saving costs, but no one can think of the expansion of the Emperor Penguin as comprehensively as what the boss mentioned.

This big boss~~~

Dong Dong Dong,

There was a knock on the door at this moment. When Dong Qianqian came back to her senses, she saw Han Qinghua waving in.

"I was busy taking care of some things in the morning. I didn't even eat, and I didn't have time to attend the meeting."

"It's okay, this has nothing to do with you."

"Oh, okay, then I'll go find something to eat first."

"There are rice balls in the refrigerator. I can give you two."

"Oh, I'll take it then."

In just a few words, Han Qinghua walked in, grabbed the rice ball and ran out.

After a few sentences, Dong Qianqian kept rolling her eyes as she looked at the boss who had admired her so much just now.

The rice balls and the lunch box were clearly not made by him.

Since someone else prepared it for him, can he give it away casually?

Hey~~men are all big pig hooves!
