Chapter 201 Crazy Borrowing, Zhang Shuo's Extreme Operation!
With the purchase of a patent license from Nokia, a breakthrough has been made, and the preparation of Maili Technology has also been put on the agenda.

Zhang Shuo then summoned Jiang Yue and Wu Sheyuan to meet.

Although Feixun has been tested internally in Germination, and most of the work has been shifted to online processing, Zhang Shuo still likes to communicate face-to-face with executives when encountering difficult issues.

"If Maili Technology is placed in the Germination Building, can the office area be arranged?" Zhang Shuo asked Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue thought for a while and said, "The 34F where Qingyun data is located will be freed up next month."

"34F can't do it, leave it to the technology center." Zhang Shuo shook his head.

The current office area of ​​Germination Holdings only has two floors, 35F and 36F. The 35th floor is used to accommodate the various functional departments of Germination Holdings, and the 36F is the office area for Germination executives.

The Fertile Soil Research Institute and the Technology Center are now crowded together with the functional departments on the 35th floor.

Put it aside.

The Fertile Soil Research Institute and the Technology Center are basically nothing but nothing.

It is not possible to specify now.

When 34F is vacated, it must give priority to meeting the office needs of the holding company, and the holding company cannot be broken into pieces.

"Then there is only 33F allocated to Qingcheng Technology." Jiang Yue also had a headache.

Originally, it was said that the budding office area was very sufficient, but it has only been less than half a year, and it has to face the problem of tight office area.

After Qingcheng Technology was separated from Qingcheng Retail, it obtained a total of three floors of office areas: 31F, 32F, and 33F. Since the main expansion is the branch offices in various places, only 31F is currently used for the headquarters.

32F will not be activated until the new employees are reported in early July.

"Then allocate 33F to Maili Technology as the R&D and design headquarters of Maili Technology. In addition, find a way to acquire a piece of commercial land in Houhai for the preparation of the Maili Technology headquarters building."

Zhang Shuo was as aggressive as ever.

Considering the expected development of Maili Technology, the single-story office building can only be a temporary foothold.

It is necessary to build the headquarters building.

"It's okay to buy land, but where does the money come from?" Jiang Yue asked her soul.

She knew that just to buy a patent license would cost tens of billions of dollars, not only to drain Germinal's cash flow, but also to burden Germinal with more debts.

The asset-liability ratio is already precarious.

In this case, it is really not a good time to buy land and build a building.

"Funds..."

Zhang Shuo was also a little stuck, and subconsciously glanced at the personal panel.

--slightly--

[Level]: Level 8 (87 million/150 million)
【Support Fund】: 500 million/day

[Cash]: 19.5 billion

[Loans]: 28 billion (bank loans) + 2 billion (corporate bonds)
--slightly--

Compared with the previous month, the increased funds in the budding account are mainly the 3.2 million profits paid by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment in April, and the 4.5 million overseas agency fees of "Brain Hole Master" + "Greedy Snake" + "My Kung Fu Special Cow" .

Then there is the 1.5 million increase in the support fund.

The main expenditures are the progress payment of Germination Building of 0.5 million, and the daily operating expenses of Germination Holdings.

Looks like cash flow is fine.

However, the profit of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment in May has been locked in advance, and all of it will be used to invest in EPIC. The estimated profit is the 2 million US dollars that Qinghe Technology sold wichat.

Added together, the cash that Germination can control exceeds 3 billion.

This is unprecedented!

But in addition to the tens of billions spent on patent licenses, Sprout also has to acquire Hengteng Electronics.

Funds were stretched at once.

According to Gu Mingzhang's latest report, although the Pirates Saint Group provided financial guarantees, the payment terms proposed by Nokia required at least [-]% down payment.

That is 30 billion + expenditure.

Considering that Germina must keep at least [-] million in liquidity in its account for emergencies, not to mention buying land and building buildings, even the funds for the acquisition of Hengteng Electronics are unknown.

That's it.

It is still necessary for the investment cooperation of wichat to be implemented as soon as possible, and the funds should be transferred to the budding account as soon as possible.

It is simply extreme operation.

"In this way, isn't the Qingyun data center about to be completed? The entire data center, including the equipment inside, will be packaged and mortgaged to the bank as a fixed asset, and we will try to borrow another three to five billion." Zhang Shuo said.

What was mortgaged to the bank before was only the land of the data center.

Now the mortgage is building + equipment. With the construction cost of Qingyun Data Center of 10 billion+, it is very easy to borrow [-]-[-] million, and it is not too greedy.

"All right!"

Jiang Yue was very helpless, this time Meng Ya really mortgaged everything that could be mortgaged.

"In addition, if you go to the Binhai Youth Entrepreneurship Fund again, there should be a little surprise." Three to five billion yuan can only be an emergency, and it cannot completely relieve the budding financial shortage.

no way.

Zhang Shuo can only play the second uncle card.

In any case, as a star entrepreneurial enterprise in Binhai City, Germination can already enjoy some preferential policies, so there is no reason to abandon it.

"understand!"

Jiang Yue is also a smart person, so she wisely didn't ask where the surprise came from.

"Then it's settled, the land should still be bought."

Zhang Shuo also did not expect that Germination would be forced to go crazy with debts one day. If it hadn't been for the issuance of corporate bonds, he would even want to issue corporate bonds again.

And Sunshine Holdings.

The previous positioning was to obtain overseas financing for Sprout. As a result, the recent so-called overseas financing was all at the expense of the agency rights of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.

It did not bring real positive cash flow to Sprout Holdings.

When the wichat matter was settled, Zhang Shuo also felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with Lu Kai, so as not to waste huge overseas funds.

Isn't it a waste?
And through wichat, Germination has eased its relationship with Thief Group, and the overseas financing environment will definitely become better.

Zhang Shuo would not be reconciled if he did not raise more than a dozen 2 billion.

"Continuing to talk about the issue of Maili Technology, in addition to the office area, there are also personnel arrangements. My suggestion is that functional departments such as human resources, finance, auditing, legal affairs, and offices should be transferred from various subsidiaries or holding companies as much as possible. , focusing on simplification. As for R&D, design, operation and other departments, after Gu Mingzhang returns to Binhai City, he will be in charge, and the holding company will cooperate." Zhang Shuo set the personnel tone.

Do it.

It is equivalent to Germination Holdings directly intervening in the establishment and operation of the functional department of Maili Technology. Gu Mingzhang, as the general manager of Maili Technology, is only in charge of R&D and operations.

This is also a common practice of large groups and large companies.

otherwise.

How can the holding company control its subsidiaries?
As for why it is an internal transfer.

In addition to the high cost of external recruitment, it is also necessary to provide more promotion channels for Germina's veteran employees. After finally setting up a first-level subsidiary, of course, internal employees must be prioritized first.

Of course.

This is also because Germination has established a relatively complete internal assessment, promotion, and evaluation system. It is not to say that promotion is for the sake of promotion, resulting in the placement of incompetent people in management positions.

It might as well absorb more outstanding talents from outside.

Today, due to the generous salary system and benefits, coupled with the huge potential for growth, the attractiveness of Germination to talents is almost no less than that of big companies such as Tenda and Ali.

Don't worry about not being able to recruit people.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

For Wu Sheyuan, doing this kind of thing is more than pinching her hands.

…………

Just when Germina was busy preparing for the establishment of Maili Technology, the group buying industry was booming again.

This time the protagonist is Tenda.

On May 5, Tengda announced that it had reached a strategic cooperation with Dacong Dianping, an old brand review website, and obtained 19% of the shares of Dacong Dianping, but did not disclose the amount of financing.

This cooperation is nearly three years ahead of the original time and space.

Zhang Shuo's first reaction when he saw the news was that Tengda must have paid a higher price than the original time and space.

The reason is also very simple.

The original Space-Time Tengda only invested in Dacong Dianping in 2014. At that time, Weixin had become the largest traffic portal in the mobile Internet field, especially the O2O portal.

Weixin Payment has also caught up and kept pace with Zhifubao.

With the help of strong traffic advantages, Tengda can successfully reach strategic cooperation with companies such as Meituan, Dacong Dianping, Jingdong, etc., to provide traffic support for strategic partners and enrich Weixin's service categories.

Belonging is a win-win.

And now?Weixin has already fallen into Germinal's hands, but Tengda's own micro chat is not satisfactory, and has turned to the social track of strangers, no longer the glory of the previous life.

Pay on.

Tenda Caifutong has just been launched not long ago, and it is still limited to the computer side. There is still a long way to go before the launch of Weichat payment and ICQ wallet, and even the back of Zhifubao cannot be touched.

The only thing that can be obtained is that ICQ is still very powerful in terms of traffic support.

However, ICQ is already a very mature product, which has already gathered too many functions and entrances. It is really hard to say how much traffic it can bring to Dacong Dianping.

This is also one of the main reasons why Tengda tried his best to develop Weixin in his previous life.

Due to the appearance of Zhang Shuo, the historical trajectory has already changed. Tenda must pay a higher price for investing in Dacong Dianping at this time to enter the local life service track.

It's just like Ari's investment in Meituan.

But no matter what, Tenda is still an Internet super giant. With the end of Tenda, the already lively group buying industry will inevitably have another wave.

It even set off a stormy sea.

As the giants have successively settled down, the new pattern of the group buying industry has gradually become clear.

The first echelon, of course, is Meituan invested by Ari, Dacong Dianping invested by Tengda, and Qingcheng Technology, which is backed by budding.

Snails and Hot Hands, who were leading before, will inevitably fall to the second echelon.

There is also Nomi.com, which is backed by Congcong.com, and is also a powerful player in the group buying industry. Yuanshikong will not be acquired by another Internet super giant Qiandu until 2014.

I just don't know if this life will be brought forward due to the butterfly effect.

After all, there is a precedent for Tengda.
