Chapter 174 Sprout Global R&D Center, Set Sail!
The budding glory continues.

On March 3, Sprout Real Estate officially announced that it won a piece of commercial land in Houhai at a price of 21 million yuan for the construction of Sprout Global R&D Center.

The next day.

Sprout Real Estate and Jindi Group co-hosted the entrusted development signing ceremony, announcing to the public that the Sprout Houhai youth apartment project was officially launched.

At the signing ceremony, Jiang Yue, general manager of Sprout Real Estate, also introduced the youth apartment project to the media present.

As the name suggests.

The Youth Apartment is not a real estate, but a property owned by Mengya Real Estate. It is neither rented out nor sold to outsiders. It is all used to solve the rental problem of Mengya employees.

Old budding employees who have leased for five years will also be granted in-app purchase rights.

It is tantamount to solving the worries of the budding employees, especially the employees of the Binhai City headquarters, in one fell swoop. They no longer have to worry about the difficulty of renting a house in Binhai City, and it is even more difficult to buy a house.

It made the reporters present almost drool!
Regardless of whether Germination is considered a major Internet company, at least the welfare benefits are really distracting.

And reporters with a keen sense of smell are even more aware.

The R&D center plot newly won by Mengya forms an irregular quadrilateral with the Houhai Yaya headquarters building project, the Qingyun data center project, and the upcoming youth apartment project.

Demonstrates the ambitions of the bud for the next three to five years.

There is no longer any doubt.

When all four projects are completed and put into use, Germination will surely enter the ranks of giants.

…………

Germination Building.

After attending the signing ceremony, Jiang Yue hurried over to report to Zhang Shuo.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Zhang Shuo personally brewed a cup of Longjing for Jiang Yue, which was obviously meant to please him.

Although he is no longer in charge of the company's personnel affairs, Jiang Yue is still the busiest executive of the holding company, and has been driven around by Zhang Shuo recently.

She showed a lot of her face, but she was also very tired.

Especially as an administrative assistant, Jiang Yue had to block interview requests from major media and TV stations for Zhang Shuo. Just this one, I don't know how many brain cells were consumed in private.

Tired!
"Mr. Zhang, the funds in the budding real estate account are about to bottom out." Jiang Yue is not the kind of hypocritical person, the boss even made a gesture, and soon returned to work.

A proper strong woman.

The last time Sprout Real Estate received capital injection from the group was on December 12 last year. At that time, it received 16 million funds to start the Qingyun Data Center and Houhai Headquarters Building projects.

As the Qingyun data center project draws to a close, the 5 million funds have almost been spent.

Even less than [-]% of the cost of purchasing the computer room equipment was paid, and the bulk of the contract payment was still under pressure. Although it was an industry practice, there was no way to delay it for too long.

The previous 3.5 million land purchase funds were all allocated from the account of the holding company.

"How much money do you need?"

Zhang Shuo subconsciously glanced at the personal panel.

--slightly--

[Level]: Level 8 (54.5 million/150 million)
【Support Fund】: 500 million/day

[Cash]: 9.2 billion

[Loans]: 26 billion (bank loans) + 2 million (corporate bonds) + 1.5 million U.S. dollars (overseas financing)
--slightly--

In the past month, the Spring Sprout Fund donated [-] million yuan to the disaster area. When setting up the Spring Sprout Scholarship, another [-] million yuan was remitted to the officially designated supervision account.

Then it cost 3.5 million to buy land.

If Sun Holdings hadn't transferred the 7.8 million overseas agency fee of "Temple Run" to Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment in time, and then transferred it to the holding company, the capital pool may have been close to exhaustion.

That's it.

It was also because of the preferential tax policy given to Germinal by the Binhai City government, and the tax deduction brought by the Spring Sprout Fund, plus Germinal’s profits were all used for reinvestment, otherwise the capital pool would be even tighter.

the benefit is.

The cumulative experience value of level 8 has exceeded one-third, and it is a big step forward to upgrade to level 9.

It is not easy!

"The Qingyun data center project still has a funding gap of about 7 million yuan. After signing the entrusted development agreement with Jindi Group, it is necessary to remit [-] million start-up funds to Jindi Group within one month. There is also the Houhai headquarters building project, at least You also need to prepare a start-up capital of [-] million."

Jiang Yue was blunt, "This does not include the latest Houhai Global R&D Center project, because the land has just been purchased, and the funding arrangement can be moved back a little bit."

Ok!

With Jiang Yue's mouth, he was about to transfer [-] million funds, and Zhang Shuo was emptied in an instant.

"Give!"

Although he was squeezed out by Jiang Yue face to face, Zhang Shuo could only grit his teeth and respond.

Who calls it a reasonable demand?

And it will be the end of the month soon, and Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment will hand over the profits for March.

According to Cao Yanhua's calculations, even if the copyright acquisition expenses are excluded, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is expected to hand over 2.5 million profits to the holding company in March, setting a record for a single month again.

If the agency fee income of 7.8 million is included, it is a proper monthly income of one billion.

In addition to the profits handed in by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, the overseas agency rights of "Subway Surfers" have also been sold to Sunlight Holdings for 8.5 million.

Just wait for Sunshine Holdings to complete the second overseas financing, and the funds will arrive in the account.

Without the foundation of this fund, Zhang Shuo did not dare to boast at the executive meeting before, demanding that all subsidiaries be brave and diligent, and accelerate expansion.

The projected income is high, and the projected expenses are not low either.

More than half of the more than one billion foreseeable profits will be invested in the upcoming Linde New Energy and mobile phone manufacturing companies, although both are still full of uncertainties.

But Zhang Shuo must prepare the funds in advance.

In this way, the budding capital chain can be regarded as dancing on the tip of the knife.

Very dangerous!
"As usual, don't idle the land of the Houhai Global R&D Center. Mortgage it to the bank as soon as possible, and try to borrow another 2-3 million yuan to increase the liquidity of the holding company's funds." Zhang Shuo instructed.

He is now in debt.

The closer to the 3 billion mark, the money Germination owes the bank, the safer it will be.

The one who owes the money is the uncle, isn't it.

Although the first 2 billion loan will expire at the end of this year, Zhang Shuo is not panicked at all.

With the current development trend of Germination, the bank is probably willing to extend the new loan immediately after Germination Holdings replaces the loan.

At most, it is to find a guarantee from a financial company and make a bridge loan or something.

If the budding holdings had enough cash flow at that time, they didn't even need to find a financial company, and they would replace the loan first, and the new loan would be approved within a week at most.

Zhang Shuo didn't have the idea of ​​paying it all back.

It is foreseeable that as Germination continues to grow and grow, it will earn more and more money, but it will only owe more and more money to the bank. It will be a matter of time before the loan scale reaches tens of billions.

It may even exceed [-] billion.

From the perspective of banks, they actually like high-quality customers like Germination. The biggest difference between banks and venture capital and investment banks is that they advocate prudent investment.

There is no safer investment in the world than lending money to a high-quality business.

It's a stable batch!
"No problem, I'll contact the bank tomorrow." Jiang Yue had already experienced it, and when she faced Zhang Shuo's request for a loan again, she finally didn't change her expression.

I readily agreed.

…………

After Jiang Yue left, Li Mingzhe came to him again.

Thanks to the arrival of Li Mingzhe, together with some researchers recruited before, the intelligent algorithm laboratory directly under the name of Sprout Holdings has finally officially started operation.

But Li Mingzhe does not come every day.

He has classes at Binhai University on Mondays and Wednesdays, and he has to lead graduate students on Fridays, so he basically only comes to work on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

And even if you arrive at the company, you won't just stay for a day.

Basically stay for half a day, check the researcher's task progress, and at the same time assign and coordinate new tasks, give pointers, and basically leave.

It's really enviable to work like this.

Even Zhang Shuo, the big boss, is sore. When he is free, he commutes to and from get off work on time every day.

But there is no way, Li Mingzhe is a night owl, and the real academic research is basically at night, so it really doesn't matter whether he goes to work or not.

Not really lazy either.

"What's up?"

Zhang Shuo smiled and asked Li Mingzhe to sit down on the sofa.

Someone as unsociable as Li Mingzhe must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. As the boss, Zhang Shuo had to take the initiative to pick up the topic to avoid embarrassment for Li Mingzhe.

Also no one.

"Cough, Gu Xiaoxi, do you know him?" Li Mingzhe asked.

"I know!"

Zhang Shuo was taken aback, wondering what kind of medicine Li Mingzhe sold in the gourd.

"Sure enough, I said, there must be something going on here."

"???"

Zhang Shuo was even more confused, "Why does this involve Gu Xiaoxi?"

"It's like this." Li Mingzhe explained: "Gu Xiaoxi is very talented in mathematics. I was the one who recruited her to the Department of Mathematics of Binhai University."

"But as far as I know, Gu Xiaoxi didn't even get a full score in mathematics in the college entrance examination."

To be praised by Li Mingzhe, in Zhang Shuo's understanding, at least he must be at the level of a god of learning, right?It is impossible to say that even the difficulty of the college entrance examination will not be met.

"Not getting full marks in the college entrance examination is not the same thing as having talent."

Li Mingzhe has a kind of rush to play the piano.

"Well, even if Gu Xiaoxi is talented, what does that have to do with knowing me?" Zhang Shuo didn't expect Li Mingzhe to explain in detail, so he simply skipped this topic.

"I originally wanted Gu Xiaoxi to participate in the work of the Intelligent Algorithm Laboratory. She agreed well at first, but when she heard that the laboratory was budding, she refused again." Li Mingzhe explained the whole story.

"So it is."

Zhang Shuo was a little embarrassed, of course he knew why Gu Xiaoxi refused.

"So, please be sure to do the work of coordinating Gu Xiaoxi and let her participate." Li Mingzhe didn't understand politeness, he only knew that the problem was Zhang Shuo and Zhang Shuo should solve it.

"Cough, Gu Xiaoxi, are you really so talented?"

One must know that Gu Xiaoxi is only in his third year of junior high school, and he is still a rookie undergraduate student. It is indeed a great anecdote that Li Mingzhe has paid so much attention to him.

"Of course!"

Li Mingzhe answered firmly.
