Text Chapter 141: Development Company
The game company immediately became lively. The company plans to plan a new headquarters, which is expected to be completed in half a year. Doesn't that mean that after waiting for someone for half a year, I can change to a headquarters with a market value similar to that of the company?
Yes, this will become a reality. A headquarters plan named The Wizard of Oz began to be planned and launched after Zhou Jiexi's arrival. This green and environmentally friendly headquarters has a dreamy and fantasy theme. The meaning of this name also has a lot to do with the users of Tom Cat and Sky Games. They have many young users, so they tend to this theme.
This is also the theme discussed by everyone in the conference room, which meets the green and environmental protection requirements of Zhou Jiexi. Also fits with the corporate theme of play and fun. Then highlight the company's goals and what it wants to have at all times. Dreams and fantasy, etc., to put it bluntly, are innovation and creativity, which are what game companies should have.
There is no headquarters plan for Tom Cat yet. According to Zhou Jiexi, the Wizard of Oz, who is currently planning the general plan, will design a place for Tom Cat. Although Tom Cat is not losing money, it can't make much money. How can there be funds to build some kind of headquarters!
A lot of money was raised, but the money was not used to build the headquarters. Instead, it continues to burn money in the market, burning more markets and more users. Kick Twitter to the side and make yourself bigger and stronger.
With the addition of financing, he is no longer the only boss. There are quite a few shareholders in the company. Even if they don't have as many shares as him, it's really uncertain in the future. He is determined to cash out Tom Cat, and he really doesn't know how to develop the company in the future.
It is really an accident among accidents that it can develop into this way now, he never thought it would be like this. It is God's blessing to have this achievement now. Coupled with his continuous poaching of corners, he was able to get to this point. Now the number of international users of Tom Cat has grown sufficiently.
The company is ready to spend more than 200 million US dollars to burn, and the global and North American users will further increase several times. There are now 130 million users worldwide, including more than 70 million users in North America.
Among them, there are more than 13 million children users, and the manufacturers of children's products are staring at his advertising space. This thing is true, why are there so many ignorant children playing with this?
Regardless of these, with the growth of time and the social crowd effect, all investors believe that Tom Cat will be better. Compared with Twitter, which rose in 2006, it has been slowly increasing its number of users. And Tom Cat is an application that has started to rise wildly after its rise last year.
In a year, there are several million affiliated users of Sky Game Company, and within a year of this year, the user base has increased to 130 million. The explosive growth brought about the frenzy effect of investors. It also brought Zhou Jiexi's heart to quit with money.
But now the B round of financing has started to catch fire, and not long after the A round of financing has just ended, the B round has already been put on the agenda. This Zhou Jiexi has no choice, the company has to burn money, if it doesn't burn money, how can it have the current growth of tens of millions of users.
Another point of caution here is that Tom Cat has a strategic alliance with Sky Games. Zhou Jiexi signed with his left hand and his right hand. Therefore, the growth of Tom Cat users to a certain number is also very beneficial to Sky Game Company, and the Sky Game platform can also be popularized.
With a user base of 130 million, compared to Twitter, which currently has only 80 million people, it took Tom Cat a year to blow them up. Zhou Jiexi called this victory to himself the victory of the hoe, and truly affirmed one thing, that as long as the hoe is well swung, there is no wall that will not fall down. Even Twitter, who was a little worse than his face in his previous life, is now in such a state because of his poaching and suppression.
If he said that he had nothing to be proud of, that would really be called hypocrisy.
Although Tom Cat International is very good, but there is no money to build its own headquarters, this is for sure. Although this Tom Cat may become someone else's child in the future, at least it is still his own child now, and Zhou Jiexi can't treat him favorably.
Otherwise, the employees of Tom Cat should also have opinions, so the construction of the Sky Games headquarters is actually not one, but built according to the standards of two companies. Tom Cat will be renting the office of Sky Games Company in the future, and when they have money, they will spend money to buy it back.
Now, compared to the cash cow Sky Games, they should just stay put!
Jessie Zhou on Tom Cat's side also went there for a meeting after the game company had a meeting. Find out about the company's recent affairs, put forward some user suggestions, and see if it can help your company. He doesn't care about the rest, and the company's management is responsible.
Because he really doesn't understand this, and since he doesn't understand, he doesn't want to pretend to understand it. There is no free time, and there is no need for that.
"The company will also move to the new headquarters. As for the construction and rental issues, let's talk about when the company's annual profit exceeds 100 million US dollars!" Zhou Jiexi sat in the conference room with a cat's face reflected all the time. management said.
"I will talk to the shareholders. You must remember to notify in writing." After a pause, Jessie next week continued: "Get ready for the B round of financing. Although the money has not been spent yet, our offensive cannot stop Come down, faces are targets, but Twitter is our deadliest problem."
"Because Facebook users don't mind playing Tom or Twitter. In this case, it's a war, and it's up to you. So Twitter is a damn thing, we have to fight it." Zhou Jiexi waved his arm Said.
Everyone in the office was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, shouting the words that echoed him. Hit, damn it, and words like that come out. It's just that many people are still wondering, when did the boss like to play this tune?
"We need to speed up the research and development and launch of new products, and we need to maintain our vitality and competitiveness!" Zhou Jiexi looked at Tom's new product director, who he hired from Google. He is very capable and he is also very satisfied . There have been many new products launched, and they have always been pressing Twitter.
"Don't worry, boss!" The man was wearing a black frame, with a big beard on his chin, but his head was very simple. "We've taken a hit on some of Twitter's recent launches, and there are already several new products waiting for the right opportunity to hit the market.
Zhou Jiexi nodded in satisfaction. Compared with the management of Sky Games, he always lacks a sense of intimacy with the people on Tom's side. It seems that there is a layer of separation. Although it is my own child, I always feel that it is not my own. So he treats Tom Cat more commercially, and also seems a bit cruel.
"The company is developing very well now, but we can't relax our vigilance...!" Zhou Jiexi said a lot of nonsense again. Anyway, he doesn't understand a lot of things here. What else can I say.
But in the end, I decided not to talk too much nonsense. So he clapped his palms and said, "Okay, you guys form a construction team and participate in the headquarters construction team of Sky Games Company. Also give some opinions on what your future working environment will look like. Of course, don't forget my opinion."
"Green, environmental protection! Boss, we understand!" The person below said immediately.
The company's headquarters was previously in charge of the head office, and now the value of my side is much higher than that of the other side. Unfortunately, the profitability of that side is several blocks away from my side. Originally thought that they would be able to take advantage of their new office environment in the future, but unexpectedly, the boss said that he and others could also participate.
This is not to say that the company is also going to build a headquarters, but it belongs to Sky Games Company in name. It is equivalent to advance money over there first, and when you have money on your side, you can buy it and become the headquarters of your company.
"Now that you know, you can discuss the rest!" He looked at the crowd as he spoke, "Be more open-minded. If the company is not listed in the future, you will probably all work there. So don't think too much about it." It’s small, according to the future level, we must at least have a headquarters environment that can accommodate more than 2,000 programmers.”
The company now has more than 350 employees, and there will only be more in the future, and more people will be needed. And according to Zhou Jiexi's thinking, it is absolutely impossible to move the house within three to five years, and it is almost certain that the company's employees will pass 1,500.
Now the number of people in the Sky Game Company alone is more than nine hundred and almost one thousand, and this number is still increasing. Now the annual salary alone will exceed tens of millions of dollars.
Many of them can only hold the minimum wage and come to Sky Games to pursue their dream of gaming. According to the company system, those gamers who have passed the creative review are given low wages.
Doing this is also trying to find more good games, even if only one of them becomes popular, the two-year wages of the current thousand people are basically not in vain.
Therefore, the headquarters that the two companies are now jointly building is almost based on more than 5,000 people. Zhou Jiexi added the factory, the former warehouse, and the connecting land that was sold to him together with this. The land of more than 30 acres is his, and these are definitely enough for the construction of the company headquarters. of.
This is still only building low-rise buildings, not high-rise buildings. If a high-rise building has about a dozen floors, two buildings and two companies, it is estimated that one acre is enough. There is no need for dozens of acres of land.
