The Goddess Shines on America

London, the largest city in Europe and one of the most important financial centers in the world, has countless modern high-rise buildings standing in the new development corresponding to the ancient city. All major banks, financial groups and Fortune 500 companies in the world have settled here.

The Roswell Building soars into the sky, and the shiny glass curtain wall shines brightly under the sunlight that shines westward. How many companies have set up their headquarters, branches or offices here. However, it is still rare in the world that a newly established company can monopolize all layers, or even multi-layer companies, like Vanda and umbrella companies.

"After a long time, we will definitely need to separate." In the reception room, Li Zekai poured a cup of afternoon black tea for Prince Charles: "With the potential of the umbrella company, one floor of the office building will never be enough. You need to look around for new office buildings.”

"I believe that this is not a problem for the umbrella at all." Prince Charles took a sip of black tea and looked out the window: "Vanda Square, Mr. Li, please tell me more about its current utilization rate. After all, such a piece of commercial real estate must have an unparalleled role in promoting the economy."

Looking into the distance from a height of 100 meters, six modern office buildings with the same height of more than 100 meters face each other across the Thames River. Vanda's first property has entered the initial stage of operation. The architectural strength of the British Empire should not be underestimated, and it is not the six Empire State Buildings or the World Trade Center. With the patronage of the royal family, the efficiency of building such a few buildings cannot be slowed down.

"Currently, fourteen large companies have settled in." Li Zekai said with a smile: "Including the European headquarters of Microsoft and Cisco, which occupy the entire Building A and Building B. For specific details, you have to consult We at the chairman got a better look, but at least as far as I know, Cisco has been on fire lately."

"Yes, the establishment of a European headquarters requires a lot of work from personnel to administration, from marketing to sales chain." Charles put down his teacup, frowned and said, "Also, I just read about it in the newspaper not long ago. , Cisco hired a full-time CEO, right, called... what is it called?"

"John Chambers, Your Royal Highness."

There was a rush of heels kicking, the door suddenly opened, wearing a white windbreaker, Alice walked into the office quickly: "He is an MBA who has been in the sales field for a long time, I can trust him to manage the company." .”

"Ah, Alice!" Charles immediately got up happily when he saw the person coming, "Congratulations, congratulations! Congratulations on graduating from Eton, Alice!"

"It's just a few test papers." Alice waved her hand modestly, although she knew how much her modesty could be accepted was a big problem.

After exchanging pleasantries for a short while, seeing that the Lord had arrived, Charles immediately cut to the chase and said, "Alice, I have a few things to discuss with you today. First of all, regarding the lack of oxygen accident that happened in the institute last time, in order to prevent similar situations from happening again Happened, do you think it would be better for us to build another research center?"

Alice took Li Zekai's teacup. She knew that the crown prince would not come here just for chatting. Sure enough, this was a very heavyweight proposal. The umbrella has not yet been listed, and there are only a few shareholders in total. Although the Windsor family does not hold much weight, the comprehensive resources of the royal family are there, which cannot be underestimated.

She said with a half-smile: "Are you worried that if a similar accident happens again, the company's research team will be killed en masse?"

Li Zekai sat on the side with a rather sad expression. This is normal, 70 or 80 researchers with master's degree, all of them are talents provided by Changjiang Group, if they are really going to be overwhelmed by the lack of oxygen caused by the "abnormal air-conditioning system", it will be crying There is nowhere to cry.

Prince Charles said: "London is not a small city, and several Vanda squares can be covered. I don't think it is necessary to gather researchers in one place."

Alice took advantage of the opportunity to look at the south bank of the Thames River outside the window. Although there are many tall dragons around, this place is hundreds of meters above the sky, and it is not difficult to overlook more than a thousand meters away.

"That would be great...if the umbrella is so big that it can monopolize a skyscraper, of course we can set up a research institute here. But as you can see, we currently only occupy one floor That's all."

Saying that, she did not forget to point to the upstairs.

Vanda's boss's office is of course on the twenty-ninth floor, isn't the upper floor the site of the umbrella?

Prince Charles nodded, and said again: "So Alice, this is related to the second thing I came here today. How is the test of the diet pill going?"

Alice had already finished her tea, she got up directly and said, "It's upstairs, let's go and have a look, what do you think?"

Of course Charles said yes, and Li Zekai did not stay here idle, so the three of them walked upstairs.

On the topmost floor of the Roswell Building, that is, on the thirtieth floor, there is only one company registered, which can be seen clearly on the registration plate at the bottom of the building. In any case, the registered company on the top floor of an office building, and the company on the top floor, are particularly eye-catching, especially this company called Umbrella, which is next to a new company that occupies four floors .

Occupying an entire floor, or even several floors, of an office building has never been an easy achievement. Of course, small and medium-sized enterprises lease cheap office buildings, and large enterprises lease high-end office buildings. It is by no means an easy achievement.

The number of occupied offices and even the number of floors is the most direct reflection of the number of employees. Enterprises will not hire idlers, and the more technology-oriented the company is, the more wealth each employee can create will be amazing. The output value of an IT company with 50 employees is of course much higher than that of a plastic flower factory with 50 employees.

A cheap three-story office building in the outskirts of the city is enough for a plastic flower factory with 50 people; a plastic flower factory with 100 people is great and just build a warehouse next to the office building.

For an IT or financial investment company with 50 employees, one large office in a high-end office building in the city center is enough, and the great boss and executives have three or two single rooms to themselves, no matter how much it exceeds 500 square meters. An IT or financial investment company with 150 employees would occupy several large offices that can be rented separately in a high-end office building in the central area of ​​the city, barely occupying half a floor area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters.

So, what is the concept of an IT or financial company with 150 employees?

In fact, everything is related to rent and geographical relationship. For a well-run enterprise, the turnover and rent have always been in a fixed ratio, and the geographical location can better explain the nature of its industry. Therefore, for many people, after understanding a company's industry, number of people, and office location, its scale naturally takes shape in their minds.

The Roswell Building in the financial district of London occupies an entire floor and four consecutive floors, which is the best publicity for the company.

"Oh, so many people?"

Charles was astonished when the elevator doors opened.

There were more than 30 chairs by the front desk, and at least 20 of them were filled, but judging by the appearance of this group of people, they could not be public relations personnel visiting from other companies, or job applicants.

When the front desk lady saw the visitor, she subconsciously said, "Miss Wang, and... ah, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

The crisp voice caught everyone's attention, and when they looked at the old man beside the girl, almost everyone stood up immediately.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Oh my God, it's really the Crown Prince!"

"His Royal Highness, my God, I saw the Crown Prince!"

"Hi Your Royal Highness, my God, what an honor!"

Men, women and children rushed forward separately, and immediately surrounded the entrance of the company. Prince Charles stood in the middle of the crowd, calm and smiling, and said loudly: "Everyone, please calm down, please calm down! I am invited by Miss Wang to visit your company today! Everyone, please calm down!"

When the civilians saw the royal family, they were so enthusiastic, but of course everyone still kept their senses, and Li Zekai immediately stepped forward, repeatedly fending off some people who were too close.

Alice waved to the front desk: "Byanka, who are these people?"

"They are all volunteers who came to participate in our new drug test." The female receptionist also hurried forward, and hurriedly cleared a passage for the boss and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The surrounding crowd also cooperated very well. After all, this is not a fan seeing an idol, but they cooperated, but they were all looking at Charles and Alice with curiosity, surprise, and speculative eyes.

"Everyone, thank you for your great support to our company."

Although she passed through the crowd, since it caused a sensation, there was no reason for Alice to hide in the house immediately. She stood in front of the front desk and said to more than 20 volunteers of all kinds on both sides: "I don't know how you feel about our new product? How many times have you tested it? Hehe, how many pounds have you lost?"

Yes, isn't this the opportunity to prove his achievements for the royal family? Didn't Charles' eyes open as big as a kappa?

"a!"

A mother-level lady came forward and looked at the slightly loose long gown, which seemed to be bought during pregnancy?

"Miss, and His Royal Highness, I gave birth to a baby last month, and then gained five pounds of flesh! But now I participated in this company's new drug test, guess what, I lost all the weight back !"

With an operatic tone, a dramatic expression, and silent-movie body movements, this woman is a thrill!
