I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 325 I want to build a headquarters!

The call was made directly to Lin Xiao's phone. After Lin Xiao got the news, the relevant leaders of Haiding District came to the company immediately.

Because the phone said that he would come that afternoon, it was obvious that this person also saw the hot topic interview last night and had a sudden idea.

So Lin Xiao also guessed that the other party came more to show an attitude. After all, if you really want to understand Eternal Science and Technology, the report last night has already explained it in great detail.

For Lin Xiao, this was obviously a good thing. Having received Li Honghai before, Lin Xiao realized that the most important thing about this kind of opportunity was that he seemed to be able to ask questions again.

Since it is to show an attitude, it is natural to ask Lin Xiao if there is any problem that needs to be solved.

Coincidentally, Lin Xiao really has it here!

The chief official of Yanjing City is called Song Mingxin. Unlike before, Li Honghai went to Yanjing University of Science and Technology first. This time, Song Mingxin came directly to Eternal Science and Technology.

So Lin Xiao became the main receptionist, even if Wang Mingjiang was with him, he could only stand aside.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Song Mingxin and his group arrived at Eternal Technology on time. They were tall, almost on the same level as Lin Xiao, with a face in Chinese characters. When they got out of the car, they held hands with Lin Xiao, and Song Mingxin smiled. said:

"Lin Xiao! I watched your show last night and was very touched, so today I want to see what kind of young man he is, who can say such ambitious and confident words!"

As soon as Song Mingxin came up, he directly gave a very high evaluation.

"I saw it, and it didn't disappoint me. Well, it's young and energetic, and it looks very calm, with the appearance of a young entrepreneur."

"Thank you, Mayor Song, for your praise." Lin Xiao smiled, and then introduced the other party while leading him into the company.

"In order to support me in starting a company, the school provided me with a building for free. There are four floors in total. The first and second floors are used by Eternal Networks, and the third and fourth floors are used by Eternal Technology."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Song Mingxin nodded and said, "Well, your school was quite discerning back then."

"Yes, during my entrepreneurial process, the school gave me a lot of support." Lin Xiaoshun continued.

Wang Mingjiang, who was standing behind, heard this conversation, and a smile appeared on his face.

Lin Xiao brought Song Mingxin into the company, and began to introduce some products and businesses of Eternal Network to the other party.

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Song Mingxin asked with some surprise: "The Baidu search you mentioned on TV before, didn't you work here?"

"No." After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he said meaningfully: "The company has developed relatively fast in the past two years, and the number of people has also increased rapidly. At present, there is no room for it, so Baidu search has established another company. Nor does it work here."

"Oh." Song Mingxin replied, but did not answer.

At this time, Lin Xiao continued to introduce each other. When introducing Eternal Network, Lin Xiao mainly introduced him. When it came time to introduce Eternal Technology, because Song Mingxin had already said a lot on TV yesterday. I understood it very well, and immediately changed to focus on Song Mingxin's questions.

What Song Mingxin mainly asked was some content that Lin Xiao didn’t mention on TV, such as the R&D center of Eternal Technology in Silicon Valley, the subsidiary company of Eternal Technology in the United States, and the Eternal Public Welfare Fund has no plans to cooperate with other universities in Yanjing. wait.

When Lin Xiao said that the R&D center of EGO Technology in Silicon Valley was not merged into the US subsidiary, but under the jurisdiction of EGO Technology in China, he nodded with a smile.

Obviously, they agree with Lin Xiao's approach very much.

The whole company was transferred, and the Gpod was actually experienced, and the whole inspection trip was over.

At this time, Song Mingxin asked Lin Xiao, "Is there any difficulty in the development of the company that needs to be resolved by our government?"

coming!

Lin Xiao had been waiting for the other party to ask this question for a long time, and when he heard it, he said immediately: "It's not difficult, but there is one thing that I hope the mayor can support, that is, the company's development is getting faster and more people. , this building is no longer enough.”

"Now the school plans to vacate the building next door and lend it to us, but this is not a long-term solution. It is expected that in another year or two, the company's business will usher in a more explosive growth and the number of people will increase sharply, so I want to take Build a group headquarters."

Song Mingxin did not answer directly after hearing this, but asked: "Group headquarters, are you planning to integrate all businesses into the group?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiao nodded, "Right now, the companies under me are all in charge of their own, although they are indeed running well, but as the business expands and the scale becomes larger, they can no longer be managed in such a loose manner. Sooner or later, it will be regulated according to the standards of conglomeration.”

This is something Lin Xiao has been thinking about for a long time. In fact, the stall he is building now is not small. There are investment companies, Eternal Technology, which manufactures hardware products, Eternal Network, Baidu Company in the Internet field, and in the future, As the business expands, other companies will surely emerge.

Now, although the size of each company is less than the size of a giant, I can manage the east and the west by myself, but when the business of each company is bigger, if I still manage it like this, then It is estimated that even if you are exhausted, you can't manage it.

Therefore, the establishment of a group company, the establishment of the entire structure, and the integration of resources must be done sooner or later.

This step is not going to be done right away. In Lin Xiao's view, the timing is not particularly ripe, but Lin Xiao must make preparations for this step.

That being the case, it is very important to establish a headquarters.

But this headquarters can't be built in a day or two. From acquiring the land to building it, it's normal for it to take two to three years or three or four years, so Lin Xiao needs to plan ahead.

Song Mingxin nodded at this time, and said in agreement: "It is necessary to establish a modern enterprise management system, and it is also an important guarantee for an enterprise to become bigger and stronger."

After finishing speaking, Song Mingxin turned to Lin Xiao and asked, "Where do you want to be and how much land do you want?"

Regarding this point, Lin Xiao was already prepared. Hearing what Song Mingxin said, he immediately said, "I want to get the land in Zhongguancun. As for the area, I want to get 200 to 300 mu."

"Hey, classmate Lin Xiao, you're really asking too much." Song Mingxin was a little surprised by Lin Xiao's huge number.

"Two or three hundred acres of land, that's a huge piece of land."

It is no wonder that Song Mingxin said that although Yanjing in 2000 was not as short of land as later generations, in this era, in a location like Zhongguancun, every inch of land was expensive.

"Do you want so much land?" Song Mingxin asked with some doubts, "Do you want to build a production base here?"

Lin Xiao shook his head, "No, this is the headquarters. Even if some are produced, they are still part of the pilot line and serve product development."

Then he began to explain to Song Mingxin: "The reason for the large scale is that the company's pace of development is indeed so fast. When my Eternal Technology opened at the end of 98, there were only 4 official staff in the company, including me."

Lin Xiao's words are not exaggerated, because Tang Xingchang led his students to do the technology at that time, so the company's employees are actually only him, Yang Guanbin, Dong Meilan, and Ren Xiaowen.

"And now, there are more than 80 employees of Eternal Technology, even if they don't include those in the United States." Lin Xiao continued at this time.

"When Eternal Network was first established, there were actually three people including me. Now the staff size is much larger than Eternal Technology's, with nearly 3 people."

There are more people in EGO Network than EGO Technology, mainly because there are many service personnel involved in several network products.

"If there is no accident, the development speed of the two companies will only be faster in the future, and Baidu's development speed will not be too slow." Lin Xiao said confidently at this time: "When the headquarters is really built, the entire group will The scale of the company must be very large.”

Song Mingxin nodded slightly after listening, and then said: "Building the headquarters requires a lot of funds. Your company is in its infancy, and it is time to expand. Should you consider not taking such a large amount first, but do it step by step?" establish?"

"I still consider getting it in place at one time, so as to facilitate the overall layout." Lin Xiao said without any hesitation.

Lin Xiao knew that Yanjing's land would become more and more difficult to obtain in the future. Although the government would of course agree to obtain the land when the company developed again, the land might not be so good.

Take the former Baidu Company as an example. After the company went public, around 05, Baidu, which had sufficient funds in its hands, wanted to acquire land to build its headquarters. At this time, the Zhongguancun Software Park had only a relatively good vacant land with an area of ​​only 55 mu.

But now the Zhongguancun Software Park should just be ready to start, and if you want a good location, you can get it. Of course, what Lin Xiao wants most is to get a bigger piece of land on the Zhongguancun South Street, because the location here is very different. More core.

When Lin Xiao said this, he smiled and said to Song Mingxin: "But the company is indeed still in a period of rapid growth, so I have another request for the construction of this headquarters, besides the scale of the land."

"The main reason is to hope that the government will give the company a zero land price policy in consideration of the status quo of the high-tech and high-capital investment of the Gengu Group."

Song Mingxin laughed immediately after hearing this, "You little guy, so you are waiting for me here."

Lin Xiao also smiled. As the saying goes, children who can cry have milk. Anyway, they have already asked for it, so they should ask for more.

After pondering for a while, Song Mingxin asked Lin Xiao, "Is your company's R&D center going to stay in Silicon Valley? Are you still building a R&D center in China?"

"Build!" Lin Xiao said firmly, "I will keep the R&D center in Silicon Valley, after all, there is the most cutting-edge technical information there, but the R&D headquarters of the Eternal Group will definitely be placed in the headquarters of the Eternal Group. in our own country."

When Lin Xiao said this, he paused and said: "Actually, we have been preparing to recruit a group of engineers from Silicon Valley in the United States for a while, and in addition to the school recruitment before the graduation season, we will recruit domestic engineers within this year. A research and development center was established."

After the Nasdaq bubble burst, Lin Xiao had been eyeing the wave of company closures in Silicon Valley. At that time, the cost of finding engineers in Silicon Valley was much lower than before.

After listening to Lin Xiao's words, Song Mingxin laughed again and said, "Okay, I'll take your question home and discuss it with the relevant departments. I'm not the only one who has the final say on this matter."

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news from Mayor Song." Lin Xiao said with a smile immediately.

Song Mingxin just smiled and didn't speak.

But Lin Xiao knew in his heart that with Song Mingxin's attitude, the matter was basically done!
