1956年。美国。贝特维亚地区。当地最大的企业、大型设备制造商Massey Ferguson公司倒闭,只剩下一栋闲置的综合大楼,以及大量的失业工人。曼库索商业发展集团接手了这栋闲置大楼。不久,走马上任的约瑟夫·曼库索经理发现,传统经营模式很难重振这一地区的商业活力,于是将大楼分隔成一个一个的小单元,分租给不同的小企业,并共享办公场地。 1956. United States. Beatvia area. Massey Ferguson, the largest local company and major equipment maker, went bankrupt, leaving only one unused complex and a large number of unemployed workers. Mancuso Commercial Development Group took over the idle building. Shortly afterwards, Joseph Mancuso, the manager who took office, found that it was very hard for the traditional business model to reinvigorate the vitality of the area and thus divided the building into small units, sub-leased to different small businesses and shared office space.
