Sprinkle coins every day

Chapter 156 Reverse operation, Germination adds another general!

With Tengda fueling the flames, online public opinion fermented rapidly.

"What's the situation, Wei Xin voted now?"

"It's really useless."

"That's right, where's the promised Tenda Nemesis, that's it?"

"Haha, this is the way of heaven and good reincarnation, whoever is spared by the heavens is Tengda Niubi!"

"Scatter coins upstairs, the appraisal is complete!"

"But why do I feel that Weixin is trying to survive with a broken arm?"

"Agreed, I don't play drifting bottles in the first place, so it's okay to cancel it."

"Not playing +1"

"If you talk about plagiarism, isn't Weichat carved out of Weixin's model?"

"Tengda: Nonsense, I used that as a reference!"

……

The ferment of public opinion is fermented, but it is not as one-sided as Tengda expected.

The eyes of the masses are still discerning.

The only thing to blame is that Tengda had too many bad deeds before, and it really couldn't be cleared up.

The few who complained to Wei Xin were not complaining about Wei Xin plagiarizing, but complaining that Wei Xin was too cowardly this time, surrendering and admitting defeat without persisting a few times, feeling very shameless.

Previously, the Internet had portrayed Germination as a warrior against the Great Demon King Tengda.

It's very middle school.

Just when the public opinion on the Internet was boiling, Qinghe Technology released an open letter.

The general meaning is that, as a subsidiary of Germina, Qinghe Technology adheres to the principle of "independent innovation" and corrects mistakes, but this does not affect Weixin to become bigger and stronger, and will increase investment in research and development in the future.

Another wave of favorability.

In the final analysis, it is the mass foundation laid by Weixin's Spring Festival marketing activities.

Coupled with the reputation blessing brought by many popular mobile games of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, the budding department can face the siege of Tengda and gain a group of staunch supporters.

It is not possible to be distorted by people with ulterior motives.

…………

Sunday, May 3.

When the online quarrel was raging, Zhang Shuo secretly met Lu Kai offline.

The location was chosen at the coffee shop downstairs of Lu Kai's house.

Because it was the weekend, Lu Kai was not wearing formal clothes, but was wearing sportswear. It seemed that he had just come back from a morning jog. Although he was 45 years old, he still looked energetic.

There is an elite style about him.

To be honest, this kind of style is rarely seen among budding senior executives.

"I thought you would cancel this meeting." Zhang Shuo took the initiative to open the topic.

"Why cancel it?"

Lu Kai is obviously also very smart. He picked up his coffee and said with a smile: "On the contrary, because of the news the day before yesterday, I am looking forward to our meeting even more."

As the former head of the Huaxia District of Pirates Saint Group, Lu Kai has been immersed in the domestic investment market for nearly 20 years, and has witnessed the rise and rise of Tenda, Ari and other Internet companies and Tenda.

The understanding of the industry is naturally far beyond that of ordinary people.

Through clues, Lu Kai was keenly aware that Mengya lost the lawsuit on its own initiative, and then released Weixin version 3.2 update, and then issued an open letter, which was obviously planned and premeditated.

This surprised him.

From this point of view alone, he thought of going with Second Master Ma.

It can be said that heroes see the same thing.

"So, do you intend to join Germination?" Zhang Shuo was also shocked.

"I didn't say that."

Lu Kai shook his head with a smile, he is not so easy to fool, "I agree to this meeting, mainly because I want to meet face to face. You are in the venture capital circle, but you have been famous for a long time, so it is difficult to make an appointment."

Okay.

Sure enough, it was an old fox.

Zhang Shuo had no choice but to cheer up, took out a document from his bag, put it on the table, with the word "Secret" written on the cover, and said to Lu Kai: "The budding ambition and the strength to realize the ambition must be hidden." In this document, are you interested in picking it up and looking at it?"

"To be honest, I'm very curious, but I want to hear your opinion in person."

Lu Kai admitted that he was aroused by Zhang Shuo.

One is curious about where Zhang Shuo's self-confidence comes from; the other is curious about the situation where the sprouts are hidden under the ice.

But still refrained from watching.

Looked.

That's like getting on the budding boat.

After being forced to resign from the Pirates Saint Group, Lu Kai's current situation is indeed a bit embarrassing, but it doesn't mean that he will accept the olive branch offered by any company.

Especially when it comes to budding companies with a lot of uncertainty.

The key point is that the position given by Zhang Shuo is not the president of Germination Holdings, but only the head of the overseas business department of Germination, so the bargaining chip is really low.

If it weren't for the current buds that are dazzling enough, Lu Kai wouldn't even meet Zhang Shuo.

Who do you look down on?
"You come from an investment bank, how about we come to a gambling agreement?"

Seeing that Lu Kai was slippery, Zhang Shuo had no choice but to prescribe the right medicine.

"Oh? I would like to hear more about it." Lu Kai really became interested.

"Let's gamble on the performance. From now on, within three years, if the valuation of Germination can reach the scale of 2500 billion, I will win. If you can't meet the standard, not only the position of the president of Germination Holdings is yours, but also How about giving an additional [-] million performance rewards?"

Zhang Shuo throws out the long-planned weight, the combination of power + wealth, and he is not afraid that Lu Kai will not be tempted.

"This is quite interesting."

Lu Kai was really hooked, and it was the first time he encountered a reverse bet.

Explain at least.

Zhang Shuo is very confident in the sprout he founded, no, very confident.

"Well, would you like to give it a try?"

Zhang Shuo thinks that he has shown enough sincerity, and he is not afraid to say that after Lu Kai agreed, he deliberately did not act, so as to block the achievement of Germination's performance goals for the next three years.

Not to mention that Lu Kai is a professional manager, so he can't do something that goes against his professionalism.

If Lu Kai's real goal is to be the president of Germination, then he should go all out to help Germination achieve performance standards. The reverse operation seems smart, but it cannot win the trust of other executives.

Naturally, he is getting farther and farther away from the position of president.

So Zhang Shuo set up a paradox trap here, forcing Lu Kai to have no choice.

"Then I'll try and hand over the next three years to Germination."

The bait thrown by Zhang Shuo really hit Lu Kai's weakness, and the performance reward was second to none. Lu Kai was mainly interested in the position of president of Germination Holdings.

The one who wants to emulate Ahri.

If in the next ten years, he can single-handedly push Germinal to the top five positions in Huaxia Internet, then his career will be considered complete.

No more regrets.

"Then, welcome to Germination!"

After shaking hands with Lu Kai, Zhang Shuo took out an employment contract. The performance-based gambling agreement he mentioned earlier had been clearly written in the supplementary clauses.

In addition to incentives for performance, Zhang Shuo's annual salary for Lu Kai is 5 million + performance.

Breaking a new budding salary record again.

"Boss Zhang has already prepared."

Lu Kai was slightly taken aback. After reading the contract carefully, he signed it without hesitation. Once a person like him made up his mind, he would not hesitate.

They are all very confident people.

…………

the next day.

Lu Kai appeared in the Germination Building to go through formal entry procedures.

Out of the need for confidentiality, Zhang Shuo did not announce Lu Kai's joining with great fanfare, and even the entry procedures were handled by the administrative assistant Jiang Yue himself.

After that, Jiang Yue will personally accompany Lu Kai to Xiangjiang to take office.

After joining the company, Lu Kai's official position in Germination is the vice president of Germination Holdings, the president of the overseas business department and the general manager of Sunlight Holdings, which is like wearing three layers of armor.

To the outside world, he only appeared as the general manager of Sunshine Holdings.

Seeing that Zhang Shuozhen had invited Lu Kai, Jiang Yue quietly gave a thumbs up, really shocked.

Finish the formalities.

Zhang Shuo invited Lu Kai to the office for a talk. Compared with yesterday's mutual testing, after the exchange of identities, this talk can be described as open and honest.

It can be regarded as an ex-conversation.

"The holding company has three main definitions of the overseas business department."

"One is to undertake the holding company's overseas investment, mergers and acquisitions, and financing matters. This is your old business."

Lu Kai just nodded silently.

"The second is to undertake the overseas business of the holding company and its subsidiaries, including but not limited to the overseas agency and promotion of games under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, the promotion of Weixin International Edition under Qinghe Technology, and the Ruiwen Studio of Qingyun Data in Silicon Valley. and many more."

In a word, the overseas business department of Sprout Holdings will be responsible for all overseas business.

"The third is to recruit overseas talents for the holding company, assist the holding company to set up overseas research and development bases, and collect business intelligence overseas for the holding company, etc."

After listening to Lu Kai, he became more and more satisfied.

It is only now that he has finally figured out what the Overseas Business Department of Germination Holdings is going to do. It is basically a booster for Germination Holdings to go international.

Its status and importance are far above any subsidiary company.

we can even say.

In the foreseeable future, the overseas business department will be in charge of more than half of the lifeblood of Sprout Holdings.

That's something to look forward to.

"There is one more tricky thing, no, it is a very secret matter to be precise, and you need to deal with it in Xiangjiang." After the routine conversation, Zhang Shuo got to the point.

"You say!"

Lu Kai also became serious. He immediately realized that what was just an appetizer just now might be Zhang Shuo's real test for him.

"Do you know ATL?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"Of course, ATL is a new energy company headquartered in Xiangjiang and controlled by Dongying TDK. The main product is lithium batteries using polymer batteries."

Lu Kai's work experience in Pirates Saint Group is not in vain.

"I got news that ATL's internal executives intend to come out and form a new new energy company in China. I hope you can contact them in advance so that you can participate in the preparation of the new company."

Germination Holdings wants to enter the electric vehicle industry in the future, and power batteries are a good breakthrough.

But Zhang Shuo knows that this new energy company, which was just established this year, will gradually shine in the next ten years, integrate the domestic power battery industry, and take the leading position.

The market value in 2021 will be close to 1.5 trillion, definitely a super unicorn.

Even if it is a purely financial investment, it will never suffer a loss.

In view of the lack of investment and UC's setbacks, if Zhang Shuo came forward in person, it would be basically useless, and he could only place his hopes on Lu Kai's personal connections.
