Chapter 285 Hunter Fox and Goat! (two in one)

Zhang Shuo did not expect that the Green Orange Group would be so popular.

Just after rumors were released that the A round of financing was going to be launched, the two giants, Ari and Qiandu, came to the door one after another, asking for in-depth cooperation with Qingcheng Group.

It would be best to be able to merge each other's local services businesses.

"What's the trouble?"

Before the financing, I didn't see how much these giants valued Qingcheng Group.

"This just shows that the giants have always been very afraid of Germination. Before we fought alone, they still thought they could handle it. Now when we raise funds, they immediately panic." Jiang Yue smiled.

"Well, the magic of capital."

Sometimes Zhang Shuo has to admit that the rich can really do whatever they want, "What do you think of the olive branch extended by Ari and Qiandu?"

"If you want to choose one company to cooperate with, then you can talk to both of them at the same time, and you should be able to negotiate a good price. If you are not going to cooperate, then it is best not to talk to one company, so as not to offend both companies." Jiang Yue said .

"That's the truth."

Zhang Shuo also deeply agrees.

If it is a choice between the two, then no matter which one is finally eliminated, the one with the highest price will get it, and there is nothing to say; played.

"Then let's not talk about it." Zhang Shuo quickly made up his mind.

"Aren't you going to talk about it? Ah Li's terms are very sincere." Jiang Yue felt a little regretful.

This time, the uncle has spent a lot of money. In order to reach a strategic cooperation, he is not only willing to merge Haode Map and Ari Dianping into the Qingcheng Group, and even provide assistance for the Qingcheng Group's acquisition of the mold group.

Let Qingcheng Group become a giant in the local life service track.

"It's because the conditions are good, so we can't talk about it. Ahri's desire to control, you understand."

With these chips, Ahri will definitely not give up control of the Qingcheng Group with Ahri's behavior. At that time, the Qingcheng Group may fall into internal strife.

This is not what Zhang Shuo wants to see.

"What about Qiandu? Qiandu only asks Qingcheng Group to access Qiandu Map, and promises not to interfere with Qingcheng Group's daily operations." Jiang Yue asked again.

"Qiandu is indeed a good partner." Zhang Shuo did not deny this, "The problem is that we have already invested in Haode Map, and it is impossible to switch to Qiandu Map."

"I don't think it's a big deal. The big deal is to sell the shares of Haode Map, and Ari will be happy to take over."

Behind the competition among the three giants in the food delivery industry is also the competition in the map navigation business.

Meituan, Ali Dianping, and Qingcheng Group all use Haode maps, Nomi naturally uses Qiandu maps, and Dacong Dianping uses Tenda maps.

You can see the subtlety of the situation.

The same is true for payment. Ali Dianping only has Zhifubao, and Dacong Dianping only has Caifutong.

Exclude it all!

Even now, after a few years, if you dare to do this, you will have to be spanked.

"But the map is one of the underlying tools of the local life service business. If we give up Haode's map, it will be tantamount to being held by Qiandu's nose. Unless Qiandu's map allows us to take a stake." Zhang Shuo is very accurate.

"Uh……"

Jiang Yue was dumbfounded for a moment, thinking about it, Qiandu would definitely not allow Germination to invest in Qiandu Map.

Don't even think about it.

"So this is a deadlock, so I can only refuse." Zhang Shuo is also very regretful.

"Then you have to find a good excuse."

Jiang Yue was a little bit blind. The olive branch extended by the giant was not so easy to refuse.

"It's simple."

Zhang Shuo is very familiar with it, "Let Pei Weiping issue a public statement in the name of Qingcheng Group, saying that the funds obtained by Qingcheng Group in this round of financing will be mainly used to open Qingcheng Xiaozhu offline stores and continue to serve users. Provide safe and secure Chinese fast food. It can also be regarded as a response to online public opinion."

"Wouldn't that be a pity?"

Jiang Yue thought before that after the Qingcheng Group raised funds, it would also join the food delivery subsidy war. Taking advantage of this wave of public opinion, it would strongly intervene in the food delivery business and attract traffic to the Qingcheng APP.

The result turned out to be to open an offline store of Qingcheng Xiaozhu.

In this way, isn't it equivalent to spending Qingcheng Group's money to make wedding dresses for takeaway platforms such as Meituan, Dacong Dianping, Ari Dianping, and Nomi?

"No pity."

Zhang Shuo smiled meaningfully, "I have said a long time ago that in the local life service track, you must be slow but not fast. You must maintain strategic determination and always adhere to your own development rhythm."

"I always feel that you are not at ease."

Jiang Yue is not stupid, he knows that although Zhang Shuo is young, he is very scheming. If you think you are losing money, you may be playing a big game of chess.

Just like this takeaway turmoil, platforms such as Meituan have suffered a decline in word-of-mouth, which has greatly reduced the effect of previous subsidies, but Qingcheng Group has reaped a wave of praise instead.

Who can believe it before it happens?

"It's not as complicated as you think."

Zhang Shuo was really wronged this time. "Since the establishment of Qingcheng, the target customers of Qingcheng have always been urban white-collar workers, who work in the CBD. When this group is willing to pay The extra cost of packaging and delivery, as long as you can eat safe and secure food. Especially after this turmoil, a large part of this group of users will become loyal users of Qingcheng."

"This is true."

Jiang Yue took it for granted, without comparison, there would be no harm.

She is also a migrant worker. From her own point of view, she would rather spend five yuan more for each meal and have a safe and secure lunch, rather than randomly relying on a gamble.

The high threshold set by Qingcheng Takeaway is actually a firewall.

It is also a guarantee of reputation.

"So, from the very beginning, Green Orange Food Delivery was not aimed at all users, but only aimed at cultivating the target customer group of urban white-collar workers. In this case, it is very important to continue to open Green Orange Xiaozhu offline stores in the CBD area. It is necessary. As for other user groups, let Meituan and Nomi do the work.”

From the very beginning, Zhang Shuo's thinking was very clear.

From a personal point of view, he doesn't even agree with that kind of lifestyle, which is obviously staying at home, maybe even a couple, but still ordering takeaways.

Very unhealthy in itself.

No matter how good the takeaway is, it is not as healthy as buying vegetables and cooking by yourself.

It's not good to be too lazy.

And like during working hours, there is no way at noon, and you have to eat if you don’t eat.

"So it is."

Jiang Yue understood completely now, "But if such a statement is released to the outside world, will it affect this round of financing of Qingcheng Group, and make some investment institutions retreat?"

After all, from the perspective of an investment institution, it is hoped that Green Orange Food Delivery will be more active and promising.

"There will definitely be those who retreat, but this is just a good time to do another round of screening. Cooperation, in itself, is looking for like-minded people. If the three views do not agree, there is no need for cooperation in itself."

Zhang Shuo is very confident, even if he said that financing is allowed, it does not mean that he has introduced investors indiscriminately.

"Understood!"

Jiang Yue was thoughtful, not sure if Zhang Shuo was testing this again.

"Is there any news about the plan of the Germination Industrial Park?" Zhang Shuo chatted about another matter.

"It has been approved."

Jiang Yue thought it was amazing, but she wisely didn't delve into it. Instead, she asked for instructions: "In the next stage, should we organize a design tender and implement this plan?"

"Of course!"

Zhang Shuo immediately instructed, "To collect excellent design works from all over the world, the themes should focus on smart technology, energy conservation and environmental protection, closed-loop access, Internet of Things, autonomous driving, etc., and strive to make the Sprout Industrial Park an offline entity. The cosmic experience area must implement the future ideal elements of the Germination Group."

This design bidding is different from Germination Building and Maili Building, and there is sufficient preparation time.

Of course, we must choose the best.

It's not that Zhang Shuo worships foreigners. In terms of architectural design, domestic design institutes are indeed almost meaningless.

"understand!"

Jiang Yue is also well aware of the status and importance of the Germinal Industrial Park, and is eager to make it perfect.

In a sense.

Sprout Industrial Park can be regarded as the ideal promised land for Sprout people, the city of dreams.

Who does not yearn for?

"We don't publicize the news of the plan's implementation, and keep a low profile." Zhang Shuo instructed.

"understand!"

Jiang Yue took advantage of the situation to change the subject, "By the way, the 25% shares of Haode Map, including the property of Qingcheng Building and the corresponding bank debts, have all been transferred to the name of Qingcheng Group, and the separation from the group has been completed."

"very good!"

Once the financing is successful, the Green Orange Group will no longer be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Germination Group, and the financial transactions between each other will have to follow more and stricter rules and regulations.

For example.

Germination Group can no longer transfer money to Qingcheng Group at will.

Because the Green Orange Group is no longer part of the Germinal Group, if the Green Orange Group needs funds, it can only continue to raise funds, or all shareholders will increase their capital proportionally.

The program will be more complicated.

Similarly, the profits of the Green Orange Group cannot simply be handed over to the Sprout Group. The shareholder dividend system must be strictly implemented, and another tax must be paid.

Of course.

In the next few years, Qingcheng Group may not be able to achieve profitability, and may even expand its losses.

There is no dividend.

On the other hand, because the Germination Group still holds 80% of the shares of the Green Orange Group, it is the absolute major shareholder, the controlling shareholder, and still holds a great say in personnel appointments and business decisions.

Not to mention.

Pei Weiping and Du Qingqing are both executives trained by Germination, and they also represent Germination's interests.

on the whole.

It will still be consistent with the development strategy of Bud.

The next step is to wait for the financing of the Green Orange Group to land. According to the regulations, the Green Orange Group will also form a board of directors, and the Germination Group will also nominate independent directors.

In the future, many decisions of the Green Orange Group will rely on the platform of the board of directors.

This is indeed Zhang Shuo's attempt.

If the method of introducing investors and forming a board of directors this time is successfully tested in Qingcheng Group, then financing for Qinghe Technology and Qingyun Data will not be ruled out in the future.

Introduce investment institutions with official backgrounds to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

.........

in the afternoon.

Chen Xiaowan knocked on the door and came in, "Boss, should the prizes for this year's annual meeting be increased from last year's?"

January 2012, 1 was New Year's Eve, and it was almost the end of the year. Chen Xiaowan learned the experience and lessons of last year, and as the person in charge of the company's annual meeting preparations, she started the preparations for the annual meeting early.

Just very competent.

"Last year was already luxurious enough, how can we increase the number?" Zhang Shuo is arrogant, but he never advocates extravagance and waste. "The most is to increase the number of winning prizes appropriately."

After all, the number of employees has more than doubled from last year.

"At the end of the year, don't you want to select the best employee of the year, the best new employee, the best outstanding contribution award, the best sales, and the annual president's special award? Arrange the award ceremony at the annual meeting to motivate the people below."

"Okay!"

Chen Xiaowan wrote it down with a smile, simply and neatly.

"By the way, how are the preparations for the Fertile Soil Award Ceremony going?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"It's basically ready. According to the list of invited guests, the hotel and motorcade pick-up have been arranged nearby. Let me show you the specific process for verification?"

"You are responsible for verifying."

For the current Chen Xiaowan, Zhang Shuo was quite at ease. He glanced at Chen Xiaowan's black silk and joked with a smile, "Will you dance at this year's annual meeting?"

Just looking forward to it.

"I won't play." Chen Xiaowan was not fooled, and said with a smirk, "I asked Yutong to represent the president."

"Okay, old cunning!"

Zhang Shuo gave a thumbs up, and Chen Xiaowan was now more and more like Jiang Yue.

"Are you saying you expect it or not?"

Although she is no longer Zhang Shuo's administrative secretary, she is the housekeeper after all, and Chen Xiaowan can easily handle the boss's preferences and care.

"Then what are you expecting? If I want to watch it, I can watch it anytime in the office." Zhang Shuo has such a thick skin.

"Ha ha!"

Chen Xiaowan didn't believe that Zhang Shuo dared to do this in the office.

.........

the next day.

Following Zhang Shuo's instructions, Pei Weiping issued a public statement. In addition to announcing that the funds raised by Qingcheng Group this time will be mainly used for the expansion of Qingcheng Xiaozhu, he also clarified the rumors about the franchise model.

"Qingcheng is too stingy, I even prepared the franchise fee, and this is the end?"

"+1 for choosing a good store..."

"Hey, I feel like I missed another [-] million."

"Shit, germination is the conscience of the industry, okay?!"

"That is, if it were any company, it would not be allowed to fully open franchises at this time, open stores frantically, and take advantage of the opportunity to harvest a wave of leeks? Qingcheng actually opened its own store honestly, convinced, convinced."

"Sure enough, Meng Wang is considerate of us migrant workers."

"Just focus on this, from now on, I will only order Green Orange Xiaozhu when I eat takeaway, that's how arrogant it is!"

"Sprout is simply a clean stream in the industry. The king of Meng was sent by aliens to save us, right?"

"My husband is the most handsome!"

"On the most individual enterprise, it must be the sprout."

……

The praise on the Internet was one-sided, and there was another wave of favorability for Qingcheng invisibly.

As a result, in the afternoon of the same day, Meituan, Dacong Dianping, Nomi, and Ali Dianping successively issued statements, expressing that they would continue to maintain strategic cooperation with Qingcheng Xiaozhu.

Without exception.

Each platform put the display page of Qingcheng Xiaozhu in the most prominent position.

The rubbing of heat is obvious and in vain.

.........

Ali headquarters.

"Sprout rejected our cooperation, and even issued such a statement, is it really idealistic, or do you want more?" The uncle asked Ren Xiaoyao meaningfully.

"Well, in a sense, idealism and wanting more are actually the same thing."

"well said!"

The uncle was also amused, "To be honest, I really can't see through this Zhang Shuo."

"Mr. Zhang does have some unique characteristics. I have carefully analyzed the history of the budding family, and there is more or less a little feeling in it."

"It's normal to be different, otherwise there is no way to succeed."

The old man got up and looked out the window, "The problem that is a headache now is that the Qingcheng Group's selection of picks has made it clear that they want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and they are determined not to participate in the competition between the three of us."

"That can only be figured out slowly."

Ren Xiaoyao was more patient, "The mobile Internet is still in a high-explosion period, and the user growth is huge. The balance may tilt to one side at any time, and it will be difficult to tell the winner in a short while."

"That's the reason, then let's fight Tengda and Qiandu first!"

The uncle raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, "Would you agree to merge with Ahli Dianping over there?"

"No." Ren Xiaoyao shook his head regretfully, "Wang Xin is very persistent. He doesn't want us to intervene too much in the daily operation of the mold group. He insists on maintaining an independent operation."

"Hmph, I don't know how to flatter you."

The uncle was very angry, "If this is the case, then choose a suitable time and withdraw from the mold. Since it cannot be used by us, there is no need to continue to pester."

Ari Dianping and Meituan are homogeneous products.

"it is good."

Ren Xiaoyao also agreed to withdraw from the mold group.

Ari invested in Meituan in the first place because he wanted to hold shares of Meituan as a window for Ari to enter local life services. Now that Ari Dianping is available, the demand for Meituan has dropped.

After shifting from group buying to food delivery, it is a tripartite confrontation.

If Meituan loses Ari's support, it is estimated that he will soon be defeated in this chaos and become the first chess piece to be abandoned.

"One more thing, Meituan has quietly launched Weixin Payment recently."

"Are you worried that Meituan hooked up with Mengya in private?" The uncle's eyes flashed.

"It's just a possibility." Ren Xiaoyao wasn't sure, "It's also possible that Weixin Payment is just promoting business. As you know, Weixin Payment has developed very rapidly recently."

"Weixin pays."

The uncle smiled, "This germination is really weird everywhere. Take Weixin as an example, the momentum of development has been very strong, and it is really possible to challenge the status of ICQ in the future."

This can't help but remind the uncle of Michat bought from Xiaomi.

The same is mobile social networking, why is there such a big gap?
Ever since it was acquired by Ari, Michat has been in a half-dead state, not to mention compared with Weixin, even Weichat under Tengda.

It was very disappointing.

"As for what you said just now, it is very simple to verify whether Germination is interested in Youtuan. You just need to send someone to contact Germination to see if the Green Orange Group is interested in taking over our equity in Meituan. I can see the general idea." The uncle is an old fox.

"understand!"

Of course, Ren Xiaoyao was very clear, "By the way, we can also test to see if Qingcheng Group is playing hard to get for the food delivery business, or if it really doesn't want to end up competing with us."

He was worried that the Qingcheng Group would build plank roads in the open and store warehouses secretly. On the surface, it would not vigorously develop the takeaway business, but secretly flirt with the moldy group, letting the moldy group rush ahead.

When the time is right, we will backhand buy the mold group and make up for the takeaway link.

If his guess is true, and it is really going to be made by Qingcheng Group, then it is really hard to guard against.

"clever!"

The uncle smiled and gave a thumbs up.

.........

Qiandu Headquarters.

"How about Mengya?" the third master asked Gong Juren.

"Mr. Ya rejected our cooperation in the food delivery field, but..." Gong Juren had a strange expression.

"But what?"

The third master was also mentally prepared for being rejected.

"People from Germination privately revealed to me that Motu Xiuxiu under Qinghe Technology and 71 Assistant under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment are both on the sales list of Germination."

"Mr. Ya is willing to sell Assistant 71?" The third master was very surprised.

"I'm also very surprised. The answer given by the budding side is that the budding group's capital chain is a bit tight recently, and it will increase investment in the mobile phone business next year, and urgently needs a cash out fund."

"That makes sense, too."

The third master's eyes flickered, and he said subconsciously: "If we can acquire 71 assistants, it should be of great help to us to occupy the traffic entrance of the mobile Internet?"

"That's for sure."

Gong Juren was also very moved, "71 Assistant is not only the largest mobile game distribution channel in China, it can even be said to be the largest app distribution channel in China. There are many people who are greedy."

"Then keep in touch with Germination."

The third master was very decisive this time, without hesitation, because it involved Qiandu's core business.

There was no room for him to hesitate.

"By the way, does Ari know the news?" the third master asked worriedly.

Like Qiandu, Ali is also looking for traffic entrances in the process of transformation towards mobile networking, suffering from "traffic anxiety".

otherwise.

It will not be frequently shot in mobile social networking, local life services, video sites and other tracks.

The original time and space Qiandu's acquisition of Jiuyi's assistant was because Ari raised the price in the middle, and the original purchase price of one billion US dollars was raised to 1.9 billion US dollars.

Almost doubled.

"Should know?"

Gong Juren would not be arrogant enough to think that he could get special treatment from Germinal.

"Then you have to hurry up."

The third master's gaze was firm, "This time, Ah Li must not let us get ahead of us."

"Well, in fact, compared with Ahri, at least in terms of funds, we have an advantage." Gong Juren analyzed with a smile, "In the past year, Ahri made frequent shots on various tracks, but he spent a lot of money."

Think about it this way.

Qiandu is conservative in investment, but it is not useless.

At least cash reserves are plentiful.

.........

Fast forward to Saturday.

It was a rare rest, but Zhang Shuo was dragged by Tang Yu to Chunyu Gymnasium to watch the knockout match of TI1.
