Chapter 84 Location selection for Apple’s new headquarters

The miracles created by Li Zetian are no less than that of another Chinese, Wang An. Major media in the world have focused on Li Zetian, and even the mainland Chinese media have also reported this matter.

Harvard University also quickly received the news. It was unexpected that a Harvard dropout could achieve such an achievement. This is so embarrassing! To say that Li Zetian achieved such an achievement because he attended Harvard University is undoubtedly to put money on his face. He obviously dropped out of school after only one year. How much can Harvard University teach others? It is precisely because of dropping out of Harvard that others have achieved so much. Therefore, Li Zetian's success, on the other hand, is tantamount to encouraging more college students to drop out of school, causing students at Harvard University and other universities to be ready to take action.

In the past two days, the popularity of the "Panda Express" restaurant has soared, and many people even come from other states to visit it.

For no other reason than that this fast food restaurant was founded by the fiancée of a young billionaire. Unexpectedly, the food in this fast food restaurant is very delicious, and it also caters to the current American tastes. The business is booming, and even the queue has to wait for half an hour. Thanks to word-of-mouth spread, the business of "Panda Express" is getting better and better, and its reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Some people even come to visit, hoping to get authorization to open a chain store! In addition, many people learned that Li Zetian was the youngest self-made billionaire in the history of American business, so they were naturally very interested in how he started from scratch. For a time, Apple was heavily exposed by the media because of Li Zetian, and its popularity increased greatly. , Apple-ll’s sales surged suddenly!

The guy from the U.S. Immigration Service came to the door very quickly, like a pug, with a very respectful attitude, and asked Li Zetian to become an American citizen.

Li Zetian thought for a while that if he did not obtain U.S. citizenship to develop in the United States, he would inevitably be tricked by the U.S. government, so he simply agreed to the Immigration Bureau's request and obtained dual citizenship.

Li Zetian didn't stay in New York long. He stayed with Yu Jingqiu for three days and then returned to California.

At this time, his super luxury convertible, the Rolls-Royce Roadster, was parked in Apple's parking garage.

Back at Apple, when Li Zetian was not in charge of luxury cars, he first found Tian Shuai and discussed with him the listing of the company.

Li Zetian said: "The rent in San Jose is too expensive. Instead of continuing to rent, we should buy a piece of land and build a headquarters before going public. I think Cupertino is a good small city with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. It is located in California, USA. A city in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area and in the western part of Santa Clara County, adjacent to the county capital of San Jose. In the mid-20th century, the local economy began to take off, and various highways and railways were built accordingly, making transportation very convenient! If we go here to buy land now, the price must be very cheap, and in order to attract Apple to choose its headquarters in Cupertino, the local government will definitely give us very favorable conditions!”

Tian Shuai nodded: "Well, I also agree with moving Apple's headquarters to small cities. The housing prices in San Jose are indeed too expensive. As Apple grows, we need more office buildings and land in small cities. Cheap and easy for us to expand!”

"That's right, let's set off tomorrow morning and let's go to Cupertino to investigate together." Li Zetian said.

"Um!"

After chatting, Li Zetian had time to take a look at his super luxury car.

Arriving at the garage, the silver Rolls-Royce was parked there quietly, eclipsing all the cars around it.

Li Zetian smiled slightly, stepped forward, got into the driver's seat, started the car, and returned to the apartment.

Now, Li Zetian has no plans to buy a house in San Jose.

Now that Apple is moving to Cupertino, Li Zetian can build a comfortable villa in Cupertino for a small sum of money. In fact, Cupertino is now almost a very small town with a sparse population. Later, because of Apple and other large high-tech companies, such as Symantec, Oracle, MySQL AB and Zend, Seagate, Trend Micro and other large company headquarters moved here, and the population increased significantly, reaching 58,000. Among them, only Apple’s local headquarters has 34,300 employees, making it the company with the largest number of employees in the city. Oracle has 8,000 people ranked second. These two companies alone already have 42,300 employees. What is the original population of Cupertino?

There is no doubt that Apple will come here to buy land, and the price is almost cabbage price!

In fact, this is why American high-tech companies move their companies to small cities like Cupertino. It is because the land is cheap, the scenery is good, and the transportation is convenient. For example, Microsoft and Nintendo of America are headquartered in Redmond, which has a population of less than 50,000. Google, Mozilla Foundation/Mozilla, Microsoft's MSN/Hotmail/Xbox/MSNTV departments are in Mountain View, etc.

Li Zetian does not intend to put Apple and Microsoft in the same city, because the two companies are bound to become competitors in the future. If their headquarters were moved to the small city of Cupertino, it would be easy to change the atmosphere. It's so tense that it's like water and fire. As the founder of two companies, Li Zetian is naturally in a dilemma. The two companies are separated, but it's okay to see them out of sight, as long as they both create value for themselves.

Early the next morning, Li Zetian and his party drove to Cupertino. In addition to Tian Shuai, they were also accompanied by Zhang Hao, Wozniak, Jobs, and James George, a designer from SOM Architectural Design Office.

Around 10 o'clock in the morning, everyone arrived in Cupertino.

The locals had never seen a luxury car like the Rolls-Royce Danger, and they were all very surprised.

The town is not big, and the mayor of the city, Peter Welch, rushed over within a few minutes after hearing the news.

Li Zetian had appeared on TV, so Peter Welch naturally recognized him. Coupled with the silver Rolls-Royce super luxury car, Peter Welch had no doubt Li Zetian's identity.

"Welcome Chronos li and everyone else, I am the mayor of Cupertino!"

"Hello, Mayor Welch, I hope I haven't disturbed you!" Li Zetian smiled slightly and shook hands with him.

Peter Welch shook his head and smiled: "No excuses, no excuses, may I ask Chronos Li, why did you come to Cupertino?"

Li Zetian smiled and said straight to the point: "That's it. We plan to choose a new headquarters for Apple. Now we will come to Cupertino to inspect it to see if it is suitable."

When Peter Welch heard this, he was surprised and overjoyed at the same time.

If Apple, a well-known company in the high-tech world, can establish its headquarters in Cupertino, there is no doubt that it will play a huge leading role. Other high-tech companies will inevitably choose Cupertino. It won’t be long before Cupertino. Tino can get rid of its reliance on the agricultural economy and develop into a high-tech city!

Peter Welch made up his mind to keep Apple here no matter what! !
