HANSOM IT'S THE REAL THING

摘要

The contract to build the new Google headquarters at King's Cross in north London is the one everyone wants to win. "We've thrown the kitchen sink at it," says my source. This is one of those projects where bidders wheel out top brass to spearhead their pitches. I was curious to know whether electronic products by rival tech firms - Apple, for example - would be banned when teams made their presentations. It seems not. My source tells me those on the other side of the table have been known to whip out their iPads in earlier meetings about the project.
