Chapter 640: Chapter 281: The Appearance of Dream Island_3 Chapter 640: Chapter 281: The Appearance of Dream Island_3 The higher-ups at Dream Technology were initially stunned, but they quickly became excited and began to chant, “Dream Island, Dream Island, Dream Island…”
Misty Island was a name given by the Japanese, which naturally wasn't suitable to use anymore, so Yan Fei renamed it. As his enterprise was named Dream Technology, it naturally followed that he would rename Misty Island to Dream Island. After this renaming, Dream Island and Dream Technology would promote each other, making their names renowned. However, others didn't have any particular thoughts about this name change, since Misty Island wasn't well-known in the world anyway, and changing it to Dream Island didn't pose any understanding obstacles to them.
After waiting for everyone's emotions to stabilize, Yan Fei continued, “The third piece of news I want to announce is that the headquarters of Dream Technology will move from Shanghai, China, to Dream Island. From now on, Dream Island will become the location of Dream Technology's headquarters.”
The executives at Dream Technology present were somewhat stunned. If the headquarters of Dream Technology were to move to Dream Island, as senior management, wouldn't they also have to move there? Although they liked Dream Island, it was quite desolate compared to the bustling convenience of Shanghai. They still preferred to work in Shanghai, after all, it was a super metropolis.
Yan Fei and Lu Pingping had anticipated this situation. He said, “Anyone willing to work on Dream Island will be provided with housing by Dream Technology, free of charge. Depending on the company position and duration of service, the housing we provide ranges from shared dormitories to bachelor apartments, even well-furnished three-bedroom apartments, and we can even provide standalone villas. In addition to free housing, our employees will also enjoy other generous benefits. As for what those benefits are, I won't go into detail here. I sincerely invite you, if you're willing to grow and progress with Dream Technology, and have sufficient capabilities to comply with corporate management and work arrangements, then we are very happy to welcome you to join Dream Technology.”
Upon hearing Yan Fei's words, not only the Dream Technology employees and the media journalists were somewhat stunned, but also the domestic audience. Yan Fei was actually using this television live broadcast opportunity to make a recruitment advertisement. However, some people became somewhat tempted after listening to Yan Fei's words, but they had questions in their hearts, and it was a pity they could not ask Yan Fei directly, so they felt a bit anxious.
Yan Fei said, “If you are interested in Dream Technology, then please log in to our official website of Dream Technology. Our recruitment requirements will be posted on the official website.”
The former official website of Dream Technology was designed by an internet company and was somewhat run-of-the-mill and pedestrian. It often faced cyber attacks from hackers, which caused the official website of Dream Technology to frequently crash. However, after the Super Photon Computer officially debuted, Yang Qi helped Yan Fei design a brand new official website. This official website not only had a high grade and a strong sci-fi feel but was also written entirely in Chinese, without any flaws, and immune to hackers' attacks.
Therefore, as soon as the network connection between Dream Island and the domestic internet was established, Yan Fei immediately brought this new official website online and pushed it to the whole world.
In Shanghai, China, government officials also saw Yan Fei's declaration on television. When they heard Yan Fei's announcement about moving the headquarters of Misty Island to Dream Island, they were conflicted. After all, the sales of Dream Technology last year reached 800 billion RMB, which is equivalent to 120 billion US Dollars. Moreover, the sales of Dream Technology continued to grow this year, with at least a 30% increase, which means that this year, the sales of Misty Island will break through 1 trillion RMB, equivalent to 150 billion US Dollars, rightfully the number one private enterprise.
If the headquarters of Dream Technology were still in Shanghai, then all those sales would contribute to Shanghai's GDP and would provide Shanghai with a huge amount of tax revenue. It was unfortunate that at this crucial moment, Dream Technology was moving its headquarters to Dream Island. However, the relocation of Dream Technology was an agreement reached at the national level, and Shanghai had been notified in advance, so there was no way to stop it. Fortunately, Dream Technology agreed to build 1-2 production bases in Shanghai, with an estimated annual output value of 100 billion RMB, which at least left Shanghai with some consolation.
Unlike Shanghai, the Jinshan Development Zone in Suzhou did not have such worries. After all, the headquarters of Dream Technology had already moved away from Suzhou long ago, but the factories of Dream Technology were still in the Jinshan Development Zone and would not move with the headquarters, so the relocation had no impact on Suzhou. From a certain perspective, they even took schadenfreude in Shanghai's loss. After all, it was Shanghai that had driven Dream Technology to Suzhou, and then with richer promises, snatched the headquarters from Suzhou. Now that Shanghai was at a disadvantage, they naturally felt a need to rejoice.
Shanghai actually had great regrets, for refusing to help Yan Fei when he needed it the most, and for driving Dream Technology to the neighboring Suzhou. Although they later managed to move Dream Technology's headquarters back to Shanghai, the relationship between the two was no longer as close as before. Now that Yan Fei had his own territory, he immediately relocated the headquarters, and not even the headquarters building built at great expense could make Yan Fei hesitate.
However, the one saving grace for Shanghai was that the registered location of Dream Technology was still in Shanghai. Dream Island was Yan Fei's private domain, and the state couldn't reach it. Even if Dream Technology went to Dream Island, its registered information was still Shanghai, China. Although Shanghai could no longer manage Dream Technology nor tax the enterprises on Dream Island, being able to say Dream Technology was still a Shanghai enterprise meant Shanghai could still share in the glory.
