American Fortune Life

“ I just want to destroy it, subvert it, reshape and dominate the global office market, allow members to renew the lease month after month, rent a fixed table, with drawers, for only $400 to $500 a month, plus a parking fee of over $100, at a monthly cost of about $600, and get most of the office services free.

Free printing, a fixed mailing address, conference room, free coffee, free microwave, free refrigerator, free gym, free games room, etc. When working to dementia, you can go downstairs and play basketball games or other games.

In the face of a year-long, 2-5 year office rental contract, I think my WeWork is the best and most considerate choice for those entrepreneurs or Chinese and Chinese companies, Al. What do you think? ”

Andy said to the Alvitelli image in the video window that the meeting was long over, leaving Alvitelli alone to help him improve the project. After all, Andy is just talking on paper and really needs a lot of work to be done to make an idea a reality.

Andy, after all, can't do anything about the entrepreneur, he just communicates his ideas and ideas with Al, and the think tank helps him build the company framework.

“It's still the IT concept of" software as a service, "but to be fair, it's a very affordable price. $600 a month, a price you won't regret even if you don't go to the office for a few days a week.

In the long run, human office space will abandon the long-term rental model, and the concept you put forward, boss, really fits perfectly and customers can order services from it on demand without having to maintain it themselves.

But, boss, the focus shouldn't be on freelancers. You know, freelancers are a horrible group of people, they have a lot of places to work, and when they need to control costs, they leave to work at home or in cafes, so corporate clients are the key to service.

Membership, on the other hand, undoubtedly allows companies to reap tremendous returns in future financing assessments. ”

Well, it turns out to be the chief thinker, and now we're thinking about financing IPOs in the future, but it's also true that if you want to circle money, grow the company, and let your price skyrocket again, it's the company that's going to be listed.

“To be honest, my original intention was indeed to position the community of creators. The core competitiveness of a shared office is not a physical space in the city's core business circle and 5A office building, but a network of communities behind it. And this community is a community of creators, not entrepreneurs. It's not just about bringing these creators together to work, but more importantly, about spontaneous chemical reactions between them.

Creating is a hard thing. When you have a new idea to do something that no one has ever done, the most you encounter is suspicion, or even the possibility of being dismissed. So I want to create a platform that brings together courageous creators in the community to share and encourage each other. It is hoped that these creators will be truly helped in this way.

In addition to financial and commercial support, they need the support of communities and their partners here. Opportunities for release can be found in the face of difficulties and pressures by communicating with others.

Then we can be more familiar and convenient in screening some good projects and investing in them at risk to make more profits. ”

Alvitelli listened to the boss, a slight indulgence, and had some different opinions about the boss's desire to combine the concept of shared office and incubation plants. He preferred the professionalization of the company, rather than the incorporation of everything into the octopus company, especially a new company with innovative services, to the end easily reversed.

When Al took his disagreement and said that Andy couldn't help but shake his head and smile, well, he did get a little greedy, and the pure specialization of innovative companies was the cornerstone of the rise.

“Oh, it's just some of my premature thoughts, and I need a think tank to help me improve.” Andy laughed twice and didn't care if Al questioned his thoughts, which was the value of the think tank, helping him to fill in the gaps, questioning the rebuttal, which was their job. “By the way, three days later, you fly to Hawaii with your team in Korea, meet our partners, and the Jeju Island Casino Hotel project is about to start. ”

“Understood." Al nodded and asked, "Boss, do you attend a press conference about receiving the Boston Globe? ”

“Forget it, just take me to the newspaper reform plan, I read it, just follow the plan, the New York Times left a mess, this bad guy, even if I don't want to be, they can relax, the trouble is all ours.” Andy refused directly, and he, who had seen the detailed asset catalogue, did not see much of the Boston Globe as he had just received it, and the union was relentless, losing a lot, even if it didn't cost him much to buy the entire newspaper.

“One hundred million dollars, the acquisition of The Boston Globe by the Times Group cost $1.1 billion, and the last 15 years of inflation have been equivalent to $1.7 billion today, and the current market price is less than 10 percent of the last purchase. In any case, this deal, both of us took it and successfully concluded the deal. To be honest, boss, I really didn't think it would be surprising to be able to complete the deal at this price.” Alvitelli shook his head and still felt a little unreal about the $100 million he had bought the newspaper and the New England Group.

“For the New York Times, the Boston Globe is a hot potato, with less than 20 percent of the ad profits in the entire Times group, and a large group of idle people, with an annual loss of more than 50 million, what's the use of leaving such a newspaper?” Andy grinned and asked back, and said with a glance: "This time the newspaper lays off, the reform, without considering the reaction from the union side, if we don't accept the plan we gave, then cut it directly, if the strike, then make up for it from other newspapers urgently, I want to see how long they don't work, they don't have the money to take it, and they can hold on.

Let the lawyers act, point the spear at the union, take this opportunity to persuade the employees to stop it, I am not the three biggest car companies, they will force me to death, when they will not climb on my head! ”Andy smiled.

Alvitelli frowned slightly, sighed, and then persuaded: “Talk to them first, if you ask too much, then, after all, if we are too tough, public opinion will be very bad for us. ”

“Do as you wish, but the reform plan remains the same. I am not rich and stupid. I have not even seen Warren Buffett say that newspapers will never be bought at any price, and newspapers will lose forever?

Oh, now it makes me look like a fool. I don't buy newspapers for money, even if they don't make me money, I have to be self-sufficient, tell them I won't draw money, but they don't want me to transfuse blood, okay, it's all on their own, the Los Angeles Times is a good example, I'm sure. ”

Andy didn't want to make a big deal out of it, either, but he was definitely not bound by the so-called corporate editorial union, big deal, finally splitting up assets, filing for bankruptcy protection, pushing it straight back, making everyone unemployed, playing rough? Are they qualified to be his Andy Smith opponents?

As the richest man in the world, indeed, Andy has enough capital to brush his head, enough iron, to play hard, but he can't think of anything. Some people are tougher than him when he thinks about the lesson, and even harder to teach him!
