Chapter 469 The first phase of the Wald Industrial Park
The day after Zhuke arrived in Seattle, he worked tirelessly.
"Boss, in 5 days, the official completion ceremony of the first phase of the Wald Industrial Park project, and you must sign and complete the contract for the settlement of these 39 companies within these days."
In the temporary office, Ms. Osses, one of the think tank members, handed over a stack of documents to Juke.
At the same time, as many as 20 people were present, think tank member Xiaoba Joe Liszt, private lawyer Zhang Wei and others.
Be very careful in every document!
Seattle is an extremely important city in the United States. It is known as the aerospace capital, the software capital, the cloud computing capital, and the e-commerce capital.
Many Internet companies and high-tech companies have their headquarters located here.
Microsoft: The world's largest software company has 50,000 to 60,000 employees in the Seattle area. It is said that bricks fell on Seattle Road, and 2 of the 10 people were Microsoft employees;
Amazon: the world's largest originator of e-commerce and cloud computing;
Boeing: One of the world's largest aircraft manufacturers;
Starbucks: the world's largest coffee chain;
Costco: the third largest warehouse supermarket in the United States and the ninth largest retailer in the world;
Expedia: the largest online travel website in the United States;
zillow: the largest real estate transaction website in the United States;
.........
A series of world-wide large enterprises, all of which are headquartered in Seattle.
Of course, there are still many companies that have not been established at the end of February 2001, such as Pincheng Tourism and Qiluo Real Estate Trading Network, which were established in 2006 and 2009 respectively.
"Spira Real Estate Trading Network? It is..."
"Oh~, I get it!"
When signing the registration documents, Zucker saw a familiar company and name.
Sipra Real Estate Trading Network was established in April 1999. Relying on convenient online real estate services, it quickly became a local star enterprise in Seattle. In just a few months, Sipra Real Estate Trading Network developed into an Internet company with a valuation of more than US$50 million.
Its company founder Ritchie Patton quickly became an internet celebrity.
Seattle Metropolis Daily published an article saying: "Sipra Real Estate Trading Network, the rise of an Internet upstart!"
However.........There are unexpected situations!
In early March 2000, Sipra Real Estate Trading Network, which was just about to start a round of financing, encountered the outbreak of the Internet bubble.
After several consecutive months of blows, Sipra Real Estate Trading Network, known as the "Internet Newcomer", almost went bankrupt.
Founder Ritchie Patton: "If I hadn't mortgaged the property and the farm, Spura Real Estate Transaction Network would have gone bankrupt long ago."
Zhuke looked at the documents in his hand, thought about it, and then laughed out loud.
Zucker doesn't have much sense for Spura Real Estate Trading Network, however... the company's founder Ritchie Patton is definitely a business talent.
——Zillow!
Qiluo.com, in the future, is the largest real estate trading website in the United States. As of 2020, its market value is as high as US$22 billion.
One of its founders and the person who serves as CEA is Rich Barton, the current owner of Sipra Real Estate Trading Network!
"Ms. Osses, about Spura Real Estate Transaction Network and its owner Ritchie Patton, you will focus on it in the future," said Zucker.
"Yes, boss." Ms. Osses nodded.
In fact, Ms. Osses was a little confused at the moment.
She was a little confused.
In 2001, there were many websites in the United States like Sipra Real Estate Trading Network, but there were definitely not a few. There were more than 5 local real estate trading websites in Seattle alone. Sipra Real Estate Trading Network can be said to be a very inconspicuous company.
At present, after experiencing the Internet bubble, Sipra Real Estate Trading Network is in a cold winter, with a maximum valuation of US$15 million, far lower than the once peak of US$50 million.
Zhuke once again emphasized: "You will be responsible for the Osses, Wald Industrial Park in the future. As long as it involves companies in Internet finance, Internet tourism, Internet real estate transactions, etc., you will send me information every three months."
“Yes, boss!”
Ms. Osses nodded heavily.
Zhuke is also very satisfied with Ms. Osses' attitude at the moment. If you don't say much, Zhuke spent a lot of effort and money to prepare this industrial park. Although the main purpose is to develop LinkedIn, it can be used to get the moon for other future "Mavericks" companies, and Zhuke doesn't mind a little more!
"Qillow, the largest real estate transaction website in the United States in the future, will you get involved in anything in the future," Zucker said intimately.
Time passes slowly ~
One morning passed, and under the witness of a group of lawyers, Zhu Ke signed the entry agreements for nine companies.
"However, there are as many as 39 companies that have applied for entry and reached a preliminary contract!" Zhu Ke curled his lips.
Life is not easy for a rich man!
"Boss, I'm tired, don't say it. Don't forget that this is just a company that settles in the first phase of the Wald Industrial Park. In the future, there will be a second phase and a third phase of the project..." Ms. Osses finished the work in a timely manner.
Zhuke's mouth twitched, but his heart was filled with excitement.
Why move LinkedIn to Seattle?
Why build this Wald Industrial Park?
Everything is about Zhuke to build a huge high-tech empire!
"With a large number of Internet companies and high-tech companies, LinkedIn's future will definitely be more eye-catching. As for Microsoft's future spending nearly $30 billion to acquire LinkedIn, it will definitely not happen again."
With Zhuke's participation and leadership, LinkedIn will inevitably be more brilliant than LinkedIn in the original time and space.
Zhuke dared not think about LinkedIn company with a trillion-dollar industry;
However, Zhu Ke is still very confident in developing LinkedIn into a $100 billion company.
...........
A few days later.
The agreements between 39 companies entering the Wald Industrial Park were all approved by Zhu Ke and related contracts were reached.
The first income was received, totaling US$22 million.
Although the first phase of the Wald Industrial Park cost more than $1 billion, Zhu Ke still feels that he is not losing money. After all, the industrial park itself is a project with a long return cycle.
Besides, Zhuke is not overly interested in this income.
"As long as the companies that settle in have one or two future Mavericks that become a subsidiary of LinkedIn, the revenue will definitely be great."
On this day, the Wald Industrial Park officially held a project completion ceremony.
Local government officials, wealthy and entrepreneurs in New York attended the event.
Juke's old friend, Jeff Bezos, the owner of Amazon Mall, is the first to arrive;
Microsoft's Bill Gates also visited the scene in person;
At the same time, Jim Sinegal, the boss of Haoshiduo Company, also arrived at the scene very early;
Of course, he rushed from Germany to Baltimore and then to Seattle's senior vice president Felix Luca, who was also on the list. However, his expression was a little resentful.
After arriving in Seattle, he wanted to see Zhuke many times, but was rejected.
Woo ~
Don't see me ~
I'll come to see you on my own initiative!
Chapter completed!
