Chapter 287 The mold group is out, the tacit understanding of the three giants!

Chapter 287 The mold group is out, the tacit understanding of the Big Three! (two in one)

Ali headquarters.

"Morning Ya didn't bite the hook?" The uncle was very surprised.

"Yes, the refusal was very decisive."

"So, does the Green Orange Group really have no ambitions for the food delivery business?" The uncle instinctively didn't believe it.

"Not necessarily." Ren Xiaoyao shook his head, with a serious expression on his face, "There is also a news from Germina that Tengda is very interested in Meituan, and secretly wants to bring together Meituan to merge with Dacong Dianping."

"Zhang Shuo is going to borrow a knife to kill someone."

The uncle is not stupid, he guessed the mystery right away, he just wanted to throw a smoke bomb, causing the Big Three to fight among themselves.

"But this is an upright conspiracy."

Ren Xiaoyao attached great importance to it, "I have also received news that Scarlet Capital is very happy recently, especially because it is very close to Tengda. It cannot be ruled out that Tengda really has plans for Meituan."

"Then what do you mean?"

"We will not sell the shares of Meituan for the time being. We will nail a nail first, and then we will see the follow-up developments." Ren Xiaoyao is very cautious. "If Meituan merges with Dacong Dianping, it will be a big challenge for us."

"Isn't that just in line with Zhang Shuo's wishes?" The uncle had a headache.

"So it's a conspiracy."

Ren Xiaoyao also admired Zhang Shuo, who was a very difficult opponent at a young age.

"Then let's do it first."

The uncle was a little bit disappointed, not only did Zhang Shuo not be counted this time, but he was generalized by Zhang Shuo.

very depressed.

"However, being able to expose Tengda's conspiracy in advance is also a favor from Zhang Shuo." The uncle is very particular about business, and favors are favors.

.........

Tenda Building.

"Sprout's trick is very sinister." Lu Jian couldn't help complaining.

Ari can get the news, and Tengda will naturally receive the news soon. The second master immediately summoned Lu Jian and Yu Yu, two right-hand men, to discuss the countermeasures.

"What I want to know most now is how Germination got the news? Our contact with the mold group should be very secretive." The second master frowned, not arrogant.

He suspected that there were traitors within the team.

"I'll check it out."

Lu Jian felt the pressure instantly, the investment business was his field of charge.

"It is necessary to check carefully."

The second master is making trouble, and there is another internal incident, so the ugly Yinmao must be found out.

How does he know.

Zhang Shuohui is a wall hanging, it is simply a random guess, and it is not careful what he said.

"Mr. Ya's troubles are known all over the world, but the follow-up will be difficult. Should we continue to contact and move forward?" Lu Jian asked for instructions.

"The contact must be continued. I'm afraid that Ari will get the news and won't quit easily." Once the conspiracy is exposed, Tengda will be very passive.

Ali is not stupid.

In any case, Ari is now one of the major shareholders of Meituan. If he really wants to get in the way, even if it can be forcibly merged, the effect is probably not satisfactory.

It may not be possible to realize Tengda's wish.

"In my opinion, we don't necessarily need to invest in Meituan. Instead of spending money and energy on attracting Meituan, it is better to concentrate resources and make Cong Dianping bigger and stronger."

It is rare for a fish to express an opinion.

"Scarlet Capital is keen to bring about the merger of My Group and Dacong Dianping, because they hold shares in both companies. Once the merger is successful, Scarlet Capital will be the biggest beneficiary to avoid internal friction between the two companies. We are not involved in the merger For the first two rounds of financing of the group, you don’t have to be taken advantage of.”

"makes sense."

The second master began to carefully weigh the pros and cons inside.

It's still only 2011, and the mold group is not the mold group in the original time and space.

It was the end of 2014 when the former Space-Time Tengda teamed up to merge with Dacong Dianping. Although Meituan was still in a loss-making period at that time, it had a high market share and a valuation as high as US$10 billion.

And this life.

With the emergence of the Green Orange Group, not only did the Group Buying war come to an end ahead of schedule, but it also started the takeaway war ahead of schedule, attracting giants such as Ahri, Tengda, and Qiandu to leave early.

The result is.

Before the development of the mold group, Ali Dianping is wholly owned by Ali, Nomi is wholly owned by Qiandu, and Dacong Dianping is held by Tengda.

There is also the Qingcheng Group watching over it.

In the first half of this year, when Ari led the B-round financing of the mold group, the valuation of the mold group at that time was only 2.66 million US dollars, which was completely incomparable with the valuation of [-] billion US dollars three years later.

It can be seen from this that the value of the mildew group at this time is how much.

"Scarlet Capital has recently made waves in the local life service sector. It may not mean that it is aimed at Germinal, and there is also a little personal grievance with Germinal in it." Yu continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Indeed it is."

Lu Jian took advantage of the opportunity and said, "Could the news of the negotiation be leaked by Scarlet Capital?"

Lu Jian really didn't want such a thing to happen internally, and he had to investigate it with great fanfare, and find out a result. Not only would it shake the morale of the army, but it would also affect his prestige in the team.

"It's possible."

The second master glanced at Lu Jian, and he also handled it with care, obviously knowing how to control his subordinates.

"My opinion is that it's better to stop here and let the group lose its source of funds. It is estimated that it will be eliminated soon. Unless Scarlet Capital renews the life of the group..."

When he said the last sentence, Yu Yu was very mocking.

Obviously, he also understands the tonality of Scarlet Capital. Once he finds that something cannot be done, he will definitely abandon the mold without any hesitation, and he will not show any affection at all.

"Mould Group can stand out in the group buying war, and it is not the one that burns the most money. Its founding team still has its own uniqueness." The second master is still hesitating.

He is optimistic about the mold group, and he is also optimistic about the founding team of the mold group.

In contrast.

Through this period of contact, the team of Dacong Dianping is obviously almost meaningless.

Whether a start-up is worth investing in, or even being acquired, the founder team is also a crucial factor.

Many well-known executives within the Big Three joined the Big Three after the company they founded was acquired by the Big Three, and then they went up step by step, and their light became more and more dazzling.

It can be seen how important talents are.

"That's easy. When the mold group can't sustain it anymore, it's a big deal to share and eat." The fish is very cold, and does not shy away from coveting the talent of the mold group.

"Then keep in touch, but don't make a statement."

In the end, the second master chose a compromise method to see the aftermath.

Unlike Ahri, Tengda, as a traffic provider, is actually not that keen on the local life service business, at least not Tengda’s core business.

This is why.

Tengda did not choose to hold a wholly-owned stake in Dacong Dianping like Ali did. It only needs strategic investment, providing traffic entry and certain financial support, and can enjoy the dividends brought by the valuation and listing.

Bar is very suitable.

The only hidden danger may be that the birth of Weixin makes Tenda no longer the only traffic portal of the mobile Internet, and it is not so easy to make money.

Ari and Qiandu both chose to win over Germination, and this is the root cause.

It's a pity that Tengda has never found an effective way to attack Weixin, and can only watch Weixin rise step by step, and the number of users is getting bigger and bigger.

As the defensive side, the number of ICQ users is close to saturation, and it is basically in an "invincible" state. Except for some small repairs, it is completely impossible to make major changes.

There seems to be no reason for a major change.

In a word, ICQ has been lost in its past glory and cannot be changed.

As for Weichat, another social product of Tengda, after turning to socializing with strangers, it developed very rapidly in the early stage, but soon encountered a bottleneck.

The reason.

One is that users gradually lose the freshness of socializing with strangers.

The second is that many fishing accounts with ulterior motives appeared, which disturbed the order and ruined the reputation.

In the final analysis, people are social creatures. Even if they are curious about making friends with strangers, they will eventually return to the social circle of acquaintances.

This is doomed that Weichat cannot surpass Weixin.

It can be said that in the two major fields of social networking and games, Tenda is facing the risk of being defeated. It is no wonder that the second master has been so anxious recently.

.........

Thursday, November 12.

A year ago, the Germination Group mortgaged three pieces of land in Houhai, and all the 20 billion mortgage loans it obtained were due. Germination chose to repay the loan in cash.

In fact, the 2 billion mortgage has been transferred several times.

Take the Qingyun data center project that has been completed as an example. After obtaining the land, it first made a land mortgage loan. After the project started, the land mortgage was released and the construction-in-progress mortgage loan was processed.

In fact, there is a procedure in the middle.

After the completion of the Qingyun data center project, in order to apply for the property right certificate, the mortgage loan for the construction in progress has also been released.

And after that.

The land where the Qingyun data center is located can no longer apply for land mortgage loans.

[About the mortgage loan, I didn’t know enough before, so I will correct it here]

So after the 20 billion land mortgage loan expires, part of it is converted into a mortgage loan for construction in progress, and this part of the loan needs to be paid off after the budding building and the youth apartment are completed.

After the construction-in-progress mortgage loan of the Qingyun data center project is paid off, the building + equipment of the Qingyun data center can be used as a fixed asset mortgage.

It is also a matter of turning hands.

Moreover, since the cost of the building + equipment is much higher than the land price, after going through one procedure, the Sprout Group can actually get more money from the bank.

In the short term, the cash flow is reduced, and when the subsequent mortgage loan arrives, the funds will increase instead.

It will not really affect the liquidity of the Germination Group.

.........

The next day is Friday.

As soon as Zhang Shuo arrived at the company, he called Jiang Yue and asked, "How is the connection with the bank?"

I'm afraid that something will happen.

After all, now is a special period, how many pairs of eyes are staring at Germination both openly and secretly.

"It's going well. All the banks are very talkative and have completed the switch of mortgage loans. It is expected that next week, new loans will be approved one after another and transferred to the group account." Jiang Yue also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did I hear you right?" Zhang Shuo joked with a smile.

"It should be that we let go of the A-round financing of Qingcheng Group and made a good start. Not only did we make a circle of friends, but we also eliminated a lot of hostility invisibly." Jiang Yue expressed her understanding.

Eating alone all the time is always unpopular.

For example, in the A round of financing launched by the Green Orange Group, the Germination Group successfully took the opportunity to get in touch with Ping Ammonium.

It will be much more convenient to get a loan in the future.

"Okay, anyway, there is nothing wrong with the loan, and this year can be regarded as a year of peace of mind." Zhang Shuo didn't want to delve into the truth too much.

Too complicated!

in the afternoon.

He made a special trip to Yangcheng to attend the first board of directors of Qingcheng Group as the chairman.

In fact, it's just a formality.

.........

On Friday, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment also made moves.

First, at a sky-high price of 18 billion, it sold the overseas agency rights of "Dream Town" and "Puzzle and Dragons", which were just launched last month.

This shows how popular these two games are in overseas markets.

The painting style of "Dream Town" is suitable for the European and American markets, and "Puzzle and Dragons" was sold for a sky-high price of 5.5 million in Japan alone.

It can be seen that the Japanese players are enthusiastic about "Puzzle and Dragons".

On the contrary, in the Chinese market, the players' response to "Puzzle and Dragons" was mediocre, and the top-up turnover during the same period was not even as high as that of "Dream Town".

Then, Jade Bird Huyu launched three new mobile games in one go, namely "Mountain Climbing Racing", "Kingdom of Arthur: The Battle of the North", and "Benghuai Academy" produced by Mihayou Studio.

"Hill Climb Racing" is a sports racing physics racing mobile game developed by Fingersoft.

The original time and space was released in September 2012.

The game takes the player to drive a racing car to run on the mountain. Because the mountain is very bumpy, the player needs to grasp the accelerator and brake well to ensure that the car will not turn over.

Gold coins can be collected along the way, which can be used to transform the car as the background and guide players to play the game.

As an interesting racing game, "Hill Climb Racing" has a perfect engine, exciting levels and fun vehicles. Based on real physical characteristics, players can upgrade the engine, suspension, tires and fuel of the car. You can also hear realistic roaring sound effects when the engine is upgraded.

Although it is not as good as "Need for Speed", it is definitely a masterpiece of racing mobile games.

original time.

"Hill Climb Racing" has set a brilliant record of 5 million downloads worldwide.

There is no doubt that the advent of "Hill Climb Racing" will have a certain impact on "Need for Speed".

In particular, Jade Bird Interactive has implanted a very proficient social system in "Hill Climbing Racing", and the improvement of player stickiness is not comparable to "Need for Speed".

"Kingdom Arthur: Battle of the North" is a multiplayer online strategy management game.

In the game, players need to play the role of the monarch of the Kingdom of Camelot, develop the ancient Kingdom of Camelot, and make the country prosperous to resist the wanton ambitions of other countries.

The last "Honkai Academy" does not need too much introduction.

As one of Mi Hayou's masterpieces, there are "Honkai Academy 2", "Honkai 3" and the famous "Yuanshin", which are also born out of this in a sense.

The original time and space of "Honkai Academy" was launched on December 2012, 12.

Because Mihayou Studio was fully acquired by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, it has a formal office area and recruited a large number of programmers, artists, and planners, so that "Benghuai Academy" was released one year in advance.

A regular army is a regular army.

The three new games were launched at the same time, and the online sensation was a sensation, but the players were actually a little numb, as if they were already used to the big hand of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.

"If there is no new game under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, I will not be happy."

"I look forward to this day every month. Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment can always bring a little surprise, just like the newly launched "Benghuai Academy", which is very refreshing. I love it, I love it."

"As a diehard Jade Bird, isn't the biggest worry that you have too many good games to play?"

"The key point is that Jade Bird Interactive has also developed an anti-addiction system, which makes it impossible for me to play games all night on weekends. Really, I have never seen this kind of money and not making money."

"Hehe, the high school students expressed even more sadness. Have you ever tasted the iron fist of minor protection?"

"Isn't it good to study hard upstairs? When you get to college, how can you play?"

"Anyway, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is really the conscience of the industry!"

Coupled with the upcoming TI1 semi-finals on the weekend, during this period of time, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has been enjoying a lot of glory, and it has become the focus of public opinion from time to time, and it is commonplace to be on the hot search.

With this help.

Not only some players chanted the slogan that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is the largest game manufacturer in China, but also a game manufacturer with global influence, which is expected to rank among the top ten in the world.

Although there is still some lack of background, it is undoubtedly the darkest dark horse this year.

The light is getting brighter!
.........

On the other side, Zhang Shuo came back from Yangcheng, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Mainly after the board of directors, Pei Weiping and other executives of Green Orange Group brought him to a dinner with the other two directors and investors to get to know each other.

Naturally, there was another toast.

Although he doesn't like this kind of entertainment, Zhang Shuo has become more familiar with the attendance.

basically.

It means talking about people when you see people, and talking about ghosts when you see ghosts.

For those who came to test and see if the Germination Group had any plans for other financing in the future, Zhang Shuo's answer was naturally ambiguous, and he did not forget to take the opportunity to promote 71 Assistant and Motu Xiuxiu.

Take the opportunity to shoot the fire.

Back at Xili Building, Chen Lu carefully prepared hangover soup in advance, and after serving Zhang Shuo to drink it, she leaned Zhang Shuo's head on her lap and massaged Zhang Shuo's head carefully.

After that, it was a hot bath and a game of poker.

I was sweating a lot.

After taking a cold shower again, Zhang Shuo finally came to his senses, entered the sage mode, leaned on Chen Lu comfortably, and asked with a smile, "Is the venture capital circle very lively this week?"

"It's so lively."

Chen Lu just laughed, "I've heard that Wang Xin, the moldy group, almost yelled at me."

After Mengya pierced the window paper, Tengda's enthusiasm for the mold group plummeted. Even if Scarlet Capital jumped up and down, it seemed that it could not change the fact that the mold group was cold.

More seriously.

Ari, Tengda, and Qiandu seem to have reached an astonishing tacit understanding among the three giants, and they all agreed to eliminate the moldy group first, so no one is willing to invest in the moldy group.

Without the participation of giants, Scarlet Capital is helpless.

"People in the mold group are fluctuating now. I heard that many people are already looking for a new home."

As for the so-called next family, it must be one of Ahli Dianping, Nomi, and Da Cong Dianping, and may even be invited by two or three at the same time.

Of course, some people will choose to join the Green Orange Group.

All in all, if there is no hunk from heaven, the miserable fate of the mold is almost doomed, and it is bound to be divided up by the three giants.

Really miserable hammer.

"To be honest, I didn't expect the effect to be so good." Zhang Shuo was actually a little confused.

How did he know that Tengda would be so decisive. Seeing that there was nothing he could do, he simply treated the mold as an abandoned child, and even refused to give scarlet capital face.

It was unexpected.

"Someone in the industry is calling you Zhang Heizi, junior." Chen Lu laughed.

"Curse it, just scold it!"

Zhang Shuo didn't care, "Sometimes, being feared by others is also a kind of deterrent."

Chen Lu was obsessed.

.........

The next day was the weekend, Zhang Shuo rarely did not sleep in.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Chen Lu asked with concern.

"I think so too, but I'm going to attend the Fertile Soil Award ceremony this afternoon, and I'm going to take experts to visit the Fertile Soil Research Institute in the morning, so it's too late to be late."

Although Germination has kept a low profile, such a generous award has shocked the officials of Binhai City, and even the second uncle will appear at the awards ceremony.

Where can I really keep a low profile?

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Zhang Shuo led the experts and scholars to briefly visit the Germination Building, and then drove to Houhai to visit the Fertile Soil Research Institute.

Two months ago, after the overall completion and delivery of the Wotu Research Institute, the artificial intelligence laboratory, cloud computing laboratory, big data laboratory, algorithm laboratory, search laboratory, and Mango laboratory under the institute have all successively moved from the Germination Building. moved here.

Including the flexible materials laboratory that has been stationed before.

According to rough statistics, up to now, the Fertile Soil Research Institute has 45 scientists, 445 doctoral students, 1025 master students, and 14 undergraduate interns.

The lineup is nothing short of luxurious.

After listening to Zhang Shuo's introduction, the accompanying experts and scholars, even the stubborn Tao Lao, couldn't help being moved, and marveled that Germination was able to gather such a group of cutting-edge talents in such a short period of time.

As far as this is concerned, it does not include the Fertile Soil Research Institute and the laboratories of Maili Technology all over the country.

All added up, the researchers have already broken through the 4000 people mark.

"With so many R&D personnel, can the R&D funds keep up?" Elder Tao was very skeptical.

"It's not bad." Zhang Shuo explained: "Now the research and development funding of the Fertile Research Institute is [-] million per month, and the research and development funding of Maili Technology is [-] million. It's a little bit less, but it will definitely increase investment next year."

He was not in Versailles.

This was put in 2011. Ten years later, the research and development expenditure is really drizzle. Even the three small companies in China that make electric vehicles will spend more than 2021 billion in research and development in 4.

Not to mention Warwick.

The R&D investment in 2021 alone will reach an astonishing one thousand more than 400 billion, accounting for 22.4% of the annual revenue.

note.

The income here refers to operating income, not profit, which is really scary.

In the past ten years, Warwick has invested more than 800 billion in research and development, which is enough to put any Internet company under the name of "technology company" to shame.

That's it.

Warwick is still a catcher in many fields.

This shows how expensive R&D is and how difficult it is to produce results.

Germination's current investment in R&D is really a drop in the bucket. In order to squeeze out more R&D expenses, Zhang Shuo chose to let go of the financing channels of Qingcheng Group.

In front of Tao Lao, Zhang Shuo even let out bold words.

"Next year, if the Sprout Group's research and development expenditure is less than 150 billion, it will be considered a complete failure."

"Then I'll wait and see." Elder Tao smiled.

The accompanying experts and scholars have also become more interested in the Germination Group, wanting to know how this company, which has only been established for one and a half years, can have such great ambitions in research and development.

It's really worth looking forward to!

 PS: Thank you for your monthly pass, which has already exceeded [-], which is amazing! ! !
