Moreover, in 20 19, Ma spent a huge sum of 8.52 billion yuan to win the treasure land of Dachanwan in Baoan District, and invested 37 billion yuan to build a future science and technology city, and named it "Penguin Island Project", which will be the location of Tencent's global headquarters. From the preview, it looks like a penguin. This is really a veritable "Penguin Island".
It is reported that this "Penguin Island" is very important for Tencent. It is said that this "island" can accommodate nearly 654.38 million+Tencent employees. The first phase will be completed in 2024 and the second phase will be completed in 2026, including staff quarters, commercial buildings, data centers and science and technology museums. Although I don't know if Tencent will have so many employees by then, according to the current annual growth, this "Penguin Island" will have a far-reaching impact on the future development of Shenzhen.
At the same time, the birth of the new headquarters, it is inevitable to name, and launched a "name-seeking activity" on Tencent's intranet, which opened everyone's brains. In this collection, "Penguin Island" is also on the list. In addition, Tencent has applied for a trademark for Penguin Island, involving catering, websites and social services. On April Fool's Day, Tencent even said that it would build a new Tencent headquarters floating on the sea, with a picture of "Penguin".
But the name with the highest voice and ranking first is "Goose City", and this name is not the first time. Long before Tencent captured Dachan Bay, many netizens said that they would change the name of the global headquarters from "Goose Factory" to "Goose City". After all, Tencent has grown, and it is more appropriate to use "city" instead of "factory". Coupled with the size and population of Penguin Island, it is almost like a "mini city", and it is not contradictory to use "city" to describe it.
Of course, there are "Little Antarctic" and "Little Penguin" in this name, so which one do you think is more appropriate?
