单集文稿 ...

  • In the early two thousands, the head of a struggling company is desperate to turn things around.

  • So he tries something a bit different.

  • Sales associates dressed as barmaid Spider man in the cafeteria, racing toy cars in the middle of the office.

  • What if you got rid of stuffy workplace culture and replaced it with fun?

  • One of our core values is to create fun.

  • In a little weirdness, we really recognize and celebrate each person.

  • Individuality.

  • It's the brainchild of a man named Tony Hsieh, Internet Wundekind, venture capitalist and the CEO of the online shoe store Zappos.

  • Tony believes that if employees are happy, customers will be, too, and the profits will flow.

  • And we knew that it wasn't just about building a business.

  • It was about building a lifestyle that was about delivering happiness to everyone.

  • And it works.

  • Zappos is now so successful that last fall, Amazon paid $1.2 billion to acquire it.

  • But Tony isn't satisfied.

  • He doesn't just want to build businesses.

  • He wants to build worlds.

  • So he takes this theory of happiness to new heights.

  • We can make downtown Vegas the most community focused large city in the world.

  • Behold the downtown project.

  • This weird hybrid between a corporation and community and city that's never really been done before.
