Chapter 456 The first Xinghai flagship store, Star Spirit Realm!

While the official opening ceremony of the headquarters building of Bolang Group was held, the first public open day of the headquarters was also arranged.

After the ten-minute ceremony is over, it will be the public open day, and all visiting public, media and guests can visit it at will.

At the same time, all the facilities inside the building are also fully activated.

Including but not limited to the self-service lobby tea bar on the side of the lobby, the self-service casual restaurant on the south side of the second floor, the gymnasium and the gymnasium ancillary facilities sky swimming pool in different directions on the third, eleventh, 23rd, and [-]th floors.

至于分别在2、3、11、23、30层的员工自助餐厅则暂时没开放。

Not only that, but Bolang Group has additionally arranged special personnel from relevant responsible departments to introduce to all visitors.

Even Wen Liang became a member of the 'tour guide'.

He smiled and invited Mr. Hu and his group of heavyweight guests: "Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Wan, I hope that you will come to my office for a cup of tea."

Everyone is very kind: "Mr. Wen is polite, please."

"Please."

A group of several people walked into the elevator room and quickly climbed to the 36th floor driven by the high-speed elevator.

This floor has been planned as the new decision-making center of Bolang Group.

It is different from the plan on the 65th floor of IFC.

There are almost no public office areas on the entire 36th floor except for the main executive offices, important conference rooms, and a separate strategic decision-making center.

That is to say, the assistants and secretaries of the main executives are located in the public area.

As for why the assistants whose ranks are clearly defined and who are also among the top management of the group are not given a separate office, it is simply because it is more convenient to arrange this way.

Although the assistants all have their own secretarial team, the priority of the assistants is to handle official duties for the executives with a very small number of staff, upload and issue, and then deal with other affairs in charge.

Public areas are more eye-catching.

We can't still let the boss who belongs to him have to find out where the person is when he encounters a matter that needs to be dealt with, then it is not called an assistant, but a trouble.

The general manager's office on the 36th floor did not copy the design style of the general manager's office on the 65th floor of IFC, but chose a simple style with a bright atmosphere.

Of course, the tea-making kits in the reception area were brought over.

At this moment, Wen Liang was carrying a pot to Mr. Hu and the others to make tea.

Everyone laughed and greeted Yanyan.

It may be that the atmosphere is almost the same. As the chief executive in charge of the economy, Xiaodan said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, your company has developed extremely rapidly since entering the smartphone industry, and is in a leading position in the industry at home and abroad..."

"...It is reported that your company is currently being targeted and restrained in all aspects by Western regions led by the United States and Europe, which have no logic, no bottom line, and do not abide by market economic rules and economic and trade order..."

"I don't know if your company has any difficulties that need our help to solve."

His tone of voice is more praiseworthy than the old ones before, with high composition and concentration.

Unlike when the old Miaotou was chattering, there was still a bit of encouragement in it.

Wen Liang was not surprised that Xiao Dan mentioned this, and the reason for this was not complicated.

It is still related to the three levels of finance in the city of Yangcheng. 75% of all fiscal revenue including value-added tax, corporate income tax, and personal income tax must be handed over to the state and the province.

Among them, 50% of the total value-added tax is handed over to the state, 25% of the total amount is handed over to the province, and only 25% is left in the end.

The registration place of Bolang terminal is in Yangcheng, and the tax payment including value-added tax is concentrated in Yangcheng, that is, the province also enjoys the benefits brought by the development of Bolang.

So now the province also wants to express its support.

Wen Liang was also not polite, and said frankly: "If you just develop the existing business, there is nothing to worry about, but the times are developing too fast, and I am afraid it will be easy to sit back and eat, so we have already planned some new businesses, which require a lot of funds. If Bolang It would be great if the province also participates in the next round of financing for the terminal.”

Xiaodan looked deeply convinced: "I have heard that your company is already conducting some upstream key technology research on forward-looking innovative products. I think it will be very brilliant."

As he said that, Xiaodan raised his eyes, slid across Mr. Hu's face, and said with a smile: "The province has long had an attitude towards investing in and supporting the development of Bolang, and fully supports it!"

"In this way, after I go back, I will coordinate with the provincial state-owned assets, provincial finance, provincial development and reform, provincial industry and information technology, provincial science and technology, provincial business and other units to hold a meeting to form a preliminary opinion, and then communicate with your company."

Wen Liang quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you Mr. Zhu and the province for your strong support for Bolang's development!"

In fact, the hearts of several parties are as calm as water.

Bolang has developed into such a large scale. Under the pressure of comprehensive restrictions and controls in the West, it still suppresses an industry. That's the abnormal attitude.

And it must be at the provincial level.

Although Yangcheng is one of the four first-tier cities, its economic development is very good, but compared with Guangdong, which has been the country's largest economic province for many years, there is a big gap.

Whether it is administrative level or resource capacity, they are not in the same order of magnitude.

Therefore, it is only natural that the province's full support attitude is true.

Wen Liang just pushed the boat along the way and proposed the next round of financing of Bolang Terminal, hoping that the province would join this topic.

At least for now, Bolang is not so short of funds as a whole.

For the additional 2000 billion funding gap proposed by Wang Wanyu before, Wen Liang raised a total of 1070 billion through the three major projects of Beijing, Jiangxia and Xinghe chips.

The remaining part will be raised by Bolang Xiaocheng's final Pre-IPO, IPO, financing from other sub-businesses, and other non-planned business profits.

In addition, it is estimated that the annual revenue of Xinghai's new products will only be 1500 billion yuan, but in reality it will be far more than that.

Based on the current sales situation, even if the overseas market is completely ignored and only the domestic market is considered, more than 3000 million units of the Xinghai 1 Youth Edition have contributed a total of more than 940 billion in revenue, and the Xinghai 2 series has sold more than 900 million units in the domestic market. Contributed more than 440 billion in revenue.

This is already close to 1400 billion in revenue.

In addition, there is also the Xinghai computer series. Before that thing, the shipment volume of one million units was collected in one breath, with a total revenue of 117 billion, and there were some sporadic orders later, which slightly exceeded the revenue of 118 billion.

That's enough.

So after all the calculations, the Bolang Group is actually not short of funds. After all...the revenue in the overseas market is also very impressive, which has reached over 600 billion yuan when converted into RMB.

Moreover, the profits in overseas markets are much higher, and the net profit of this group is expected to exceed 30% of sales!

In the first quarter, when Xinghai 1 was selling well in overseas markets, the net profit reached 26.5%. Now the price is higher than before, and the channel cost is lower. Breaking 30% is not a big problem.

But Wen Liang will not reject local investment.

And the more ideas he has, the better!
…………

While Mr. Wen Liangtong and Mr. Hu were drinking tea in the general manager's office, some members of Bolang who were assigned to work as "tour guides" were enthusiastically introducing this to the visitors, including Bolang's internal personnel, media friends, and the public. building.

At first, there was actually no general public watching.

But because there are a lot of people gathered here, and Bolang has already publicly stated that today will unveil the first Xinghai flagship store, naturally some people rushed over to join in the fun.

It just so happened that Bolang was organizing the public open day of the headquarters, so it was naturally enthusiastic.

"The main body of our headquarters building is 182 meters high, excluding the helipad on the roof, and a lot of glass is used in the exterior decoration..."

"We have considered some domestic elements in the design..."

"Among them, if you overlook the headquarters park from a high altitude, you will find that the main building and ancillary buildings resemble the Chinese character '中' and the English 'C'."

"In terms of internal facilities, I referred to some suggestions and ideas of all the employees in the company at that time. In addition to the tea bar, leisure restaurant, staff restaurant, gym, swimming pool, etc. that everyone already knows, there are some additional buildings in the annex buildings surrounding the main building. Entertainment facilities..."

"The annex building and the areas below the third floor of the main building will also be open to employees and their families at night."

"...Of course, our headquarters building adopts a loose design in all aspects, and the whole building is only equipped with more than 6000 workstations."

This is hardly a waste.

In fact, the higher the standard of an office building, the less it can accommodate many people. In particular, super-super-high office buildings like IFC lease space in a scattered manner, which is a huge waste. The average office area per capita is as high as 22 square meters.

The office layout of Bolang in IFC is already extremely space-saving. Otherwise, according to this standard, the 5 floors can only accommodate 800 people in total.

Now, although the entire building can be planned and designed in a unified manner such as workstations and other office facilities, in a total of 36 floors of more than 9 square meters of space, it is only designed to accommodate more than 6000 workstations.

This is actually inconsistent with the original plan.

The original plan was designed to accommodate [-] people. Later, when it was officially finalized, considering the expansion speed of Bolang and the planning of the headquarters park, the design was revised to make the seating arrangement more relaxed.

Anyway... With the current total number of employees of Bolang Group in Yangcheng, no matter what, it cannot be accommodated in an office building.

Because at present, the total number of full-time employees of Bolang Group in Yangcheng has reached 1, which does not include the office areas open to part-time staff of various universities in Yangcheng.

It's just that the offices of Bolang Group are relatively scattered at present.

In addition to the IFC and the earliest silver-gray building, there are as many as 15 office locations in the Taikoo Hui office building and several Grade A office buildings in Zhujiang New Town.

In the future, except for the staff working in the headquarters building, all will be moved to the headquarters park, which is 4 square kilometers larger than the Zhujiang New Town.

Of course, that place will definitely not be developed for Bolang's own use in the end, and will work with Yangcheng to promote the formation of a new technology city in the east of the city.

…………

…………

About one hour back and forth, just after ten o'clock, the 'tour guides' took everyone to finish the tour.

Wen Liang and Chen Jiaxin are busy presenting presents to important guests.

And Li Ze popped up just in time.

He is in charge of hosting the unveiling ceremony of the first Xinghai flagship store.

Li Ze walked out from the front square of the headquarters building, walked to Jinsui Road, then walked eastward to the intersection of Jinsui Road and Xiancun Road, walked from the sidewalk in the middle of the flower bed to the front of the decoration baffle, and finally stood still.

Turning to look at the crowd, Li Ze smiled: "Good morning everyone, everyone has worked hard."

"The Xinghai brand has been developed so far and has long enjoyed a high reputation at home and abroad, but so far there is no official offline store to display the series of Xinghai brand..."

"Obviously, everyone is right. The reason why there is no store is to wait for today's beautiful festival to show the image of Xinghai."

"..."

Li Ze talked nonsense for more than a minute, and then opened his hands wide: "Welcome to Xinghai!"

At this moment, a crane that had been parked nearby suddenly moved, and amidst the rumbling sound, the cuboid-shaped decorative baffle was slowly hoisted up!

Little by little the veil was lifted.

Quiet.

Everyone standing in front, back, left, and right of the street, including the small square in front of the building not far away, waited with bated breath.

They were all looking forward to how amazing the Xinghai flagship store that Bolang made such a big show would be.

Finally, the lifting height exceeded three meters.

Everyone can basically see the face.

All of a sudden, there were exclamations from the crowd.

From the Xinghai series of products, people have already experienced the stunning symmetrical aesthetics of the Xinghai brand in industrial design.

I also feel that some details are subtly integrated into the seemingly asymmetrical aesthetics of industrial aesthetics.

now.

Everyone saw a building that may have a symmetrical aesthetic design language as a whole. The oversized symmetry brings people visual comfort and an indescribably high-end feeling.

With Apple’s directly-operated store in front of it, showing amazing effects with symmetrical aesthetics, and applying for relevant patent protection, Xinghai also uses symmetrical aesthetics to design brilliantly. It is a very difficult, costly, and risky thing. .

But... Xinghai did it!

The Apple direct-sale store mainly uses a large amount of glass...Super large glass material is used to deal with the facade, so as to create enough visual experience such as transparency and comfort.

But Xinghai chose another path.

The exterior facade was built with a larger area of ​​materials, using the traditional concept of a round sky and a place, and incorporating the aesthetics represented by the goal of 'stars and seas'...(wobianbuxiaqule)
Overall design concept for short:
Nature and science fiction.

When the decoration baffle was completely hoisted from the top of the flagship store, Li Ze opened the door and walked in, becoming the first customer in the true sense.

…………

Afterwards, media reporters ranted against Li Ze for an interview.

Most of the young people who came here rushed to every booth with a harmonious layout.

Soon someone exclaimed: "Hey, why are the watches and earphones locked in the exhibition cabinet?!"

Immediately, a staff member explained: "I'm very sorry, sir, the watch and earphone products are conceptual products and are still under development, and they cannot be touched and used for the time being. I hope everyone understands."

"Okay, okay, the laptop isn't just a mockup, is it?"

"No, laptop products are available."

"..."

This is of course just a sideshow.

The overall height of Xinghai's first flagship store exceeds 15 meters, and it is divided into upper and lower floors. Some people quickly ran to the second floor.

The booth is also arranged on the second floor, but there is an additional functional area: product use guidance and consultation.

this area...

It is necessary.

The Xinghai series products are okay, but the Xinghai computer series and the future Xinghai tablet series include other terminal series, which may really need a tutorial.

Not to mention that some interaction methods are slightly different, some excellent functions and features are of course hoped that users will try them as an official Xinghai.

For example, nowadays, in order to coincide with the unveiling of the first flagship store, some things are specially prepared.

Among them is a promotion of application software.

Long before preparing for the Xinghai computer series, Bolang Terminal had taken into account the habitual monopoly of the wintel ecology for 30 to [-] years.

Although Bolang spent money to develop a lot of tool-type application software, it is still very different from the blooming of a hundred flowers on Windows.

Therefore, the Xingchen desktop application platform specially launched a small software officially launched by Xingchen today, called:

'Desktop Wraith'

The English name is Virtual for Stars, or V4S for short.

It has only one purpose: to support running Windows system on the Xingchen desktop system.

This software is not purely self-developed by Bolang. The source is that Bolang acquired a Parallels company located in Russia. This company has a well-known product called: Parallels Desktop for Mac.

It is used to support the Windows system running on the MacOS platform, and later generations supported it all the way until Apple launched the M-series chips, and it has been kept updated.

Originally, this company was acquired by a Canadian company in 2018, and now it was acquired by Bolang at a price that is not exaggerated. Based on its research and development experience in virtualization technology, it launched the now excellent V4S.

Of course, the premise that this software can run normally is that the X86 instruction set system supported the translation and execution of the X[-] instruction set long ago, and can perfectly run all Windows programs, the so-called "in case of emergency".

Bolang's executives... As for Wen Liang and Li Ze, they are actually quite clear-headed.

It is very clear that no matter how the Xingchen desktop system develops, it cannot compare to the deep-rooted influence of the wintel alliance ecology and even the future win+arm on user habits!

Before classical computers are replaced by generalization of products such as quantum computers and photonic computers, the Windows application ecosystem will always be the mainstream of the global computer platform.

This is evident from the fact that Apple’s Mac ecosystem still only accounts for no more than 2022% of the global market in 8.

If the star desktop system ecology wants to compete with Windows in the domestic market, there are only a few possibilities.

Events such as prisms occur more often,

America's multi-point control declaration document,

Microsoft completely banned pirated versions of Windows, and sued all pirated users in China,

Windows has incredible bugs such as being unable to connect to the Internet and cannot be fixed for more than a month,

microsoft collapsed,

In the domestic market, only Xinghai computers are sold,

Bolang has developed a new route along the route of breaking the von Neumann structure, forming a new ecology...

There are still many possibilities.

Some possibilities can also affect the global market~
In short...the launch of the 'Desktop Spiritual Realm' software directly aroused the consumption enthusiasm of the on-site visitors.

The dawn of individual user consumption of the Xinghai computer series has also gradually arrived.
