According to a new report, Amazon is now "close to an agreement" for these two cities to share its new headquarters "HQ2"



[ad_1]

What do they have in common Crystal City, Virginia and Long Island City, New York?

If the New York Times That's right, these are the two communities that will share Amazon's 50,000 jobs after becoming the shared home of HQ2:

The company is about to enter into an agreement to settle in Long Island City, Queens, according to two of those informed of the talks. Amazon is also about to sign a contract to settle in the Crystal City area in Arlington, Virginia, in the suburbs of Washington, said one of the people.

Amazon already has more employees in these two regions than anywhere else outside of Seattle, its headquarters and the San Francisco Bay Area.

If the Times is right, it's a nice win for these two communities, but also a hard blow that will probably be the hardest hit in two places:

  • Dallas, which is the third city to have been mentioned many times in the last 48 hours as being at the "advanced" stage of negotiations with Amazon, and perhaps to a lesser extent …
  • Newark, which already has the headquarters of Amazon's subsidiary Audible, and where the mayor of the city told reporters: "We are delighted to be here, we have already taken advantage of our success."

If you keep points, here's how it's developed over the last few days. First, The Washington Post (owned by Jeff Bezos, of course) said Crystal City was in final talks. Then, an Amazon leader went to Twitter to criticize anyone who leaked this story.

Then, the Wall Street Journal announced that Dallas and New York were still in the race, and that the QG2 would be split in two – without specifying the two cities.

Now, perhaps, we have the last details. We should know for sure in the week. Or maybe Amazon is playing with us all.

Here is what I read today:

Should you give your employees time to vote?

In the meantime, business owners may want to watch six home runs, as well as a way to find out if your coworkers, friends or even your neighbor have registered and voted.

Children do not want to work in fast food restaurants. So, they are turning to the elderly

I do not often eat fast food, but I stopped at a McDonald's in the suburbs of New Jersey the other day, and I was struck by the fact that every employee seemed to be at least 65 years old. In the end, this is not a restaurant recruitment strategy of today. chains, where seniors are valued employees. (Leslie Patton, Bloomberg)

SoftBank and the assassination of the Saudi journalist

The technology investment giant has a $ 100 billion Vision Fund, of which $ 45 billion comes from the Saudi Public Investment Fund. Like everyone in the business world, they face pressures to predict the impact of Salah Khashoggi's assassination on their business. (Ryan Browne, CNBC)

7-Eleven is trying to scan and go

It's not quite Amazon Go, but 14-Eleven stores will be equipped this week with scan-and-go technology that allows customers to pay for products using their phone without ever having to talk to a cashier. There are more than 66,000 7-Eleven stores in the world. Therefore, if they succeed, they will have a lot of development margin. (Ilyse Liffreing, Digiday)

A more diverse entrepreneurial crowd

Women belonging to minorities control 44% of women-owned businesses in the United States, compared with only 20% in 1997, according to data from a new study. Here's a glimpse of some of the women entrepreneurs who truly inspire. (Michelle Cheng, Inc.)

It's great, but it also shows how strange our voting system is - schedule our elections on a Tuesday when everyone has to work and refuse to go on vacation.
