Chapter 293 Zhang Shuo Becomes the New Richest Man in China? (Digital Chapter)
2nd night.

Zhang Shuo specially hosted a banquet for Qiandu Gong Juren and his party, accompanied by Lu Kai, Luo Changan and others.

Although it was drinking, it soon talked about work.

"Mr. Zhang, Qiandu is completely open to cooperation with Germinal. Apart from this transaction, we hope to strengthen cooperation with Germinal in other fields." Gong Juren came with a mission.

"Like what?"

Zhang Shuo, however, took his leisure time.

"For example, the local life services we mentioned before, and map navigation. I don't know, can Maili mobile phone consider pre-installing Qiandu map?" Gong Juren asked tentatively.

"Mr. Gong seems to have great confidence in the Maili mobile phone?" Zhang Shuo was noncommittal.

"We are confident in Germination."

"But you also know that the Green Orange Group under Germination is the major shareholder of Haode Map."

"This is not a conflict, is it?" Gong Juren certainly did his homework, "Qingcheng Group's shareholding ratio in Haode Map is not high, and Ali is the real controlling shareholder."

"The relationship between Germination and Ari is also good." Zhang Shuo said.

"In business talk business, you can't put all your eggs in one basket, can you?"

"Yes."

Zhang Shuo smiled and nodded, "But the basket of Qiandu Map doesn't allow us to intervene."

"Uh, this..."

Gong Juren was speechless for a moment, and of course it was impossible for Qiandu Map to let Mengya take a stake.

This can't be discussed.

It was a good banquet, but it ended in embarrassment.

"boss Zhang?"

Lu Kai was a little worried.

"fine!"

Zhang Shuo was very calm, "I don't know, what gave Qiandu the illusion that through this acquisition, we can get closer to each other, and it's completely equal to one size."

He himself didn't want to get too close to Qiandu.

Especially considering that in the future, when Qiandu finds out that the acquisition of 71 assistants is not so cost-effective, even if the relationship is harmonious now, there will still be conflicts in the future.

No need.

.........

The next day.

Zhang Shuo went to Binhai University to take the last final exam of this semester.

After the other postgraduate exams, he may have to be dragged to the laboratory by his tutor to do coolies. Of course, Zhang Shuo has no troubles in this regard. The end of the exam means the beginning of the "winter vacation".

The issue is.

In addition to being a student, Zhang Shuo is also a laborer and has to go to work.

1 month 4 day.

As soon as Zhang Shuo arrived at the company, before his butt was warmed up, Jiang Yue hurried in with a newspaper in his hand, "Mr. Zhang, take a look at this."

"The Germination Group is valued at hundreds of billions, and Zhang Shuo is about to become the new richest man in the Mainland?"

Zhang Shuo glanced at the title, and unconsciously twitched his brows, "Isn't this nonsense?"

"It's nonsense, but it's well-founded." Jiang Yue frowned with concern.

Some time ago in the article, Qingcheng Group was valued at 160 billion, and the recent value of 71 Assistant + Motu Xiuxiu was 120 billion as a reference factor, and the overall valuation of Germination Group was finalized at 100 billion.

It sounds like that's the case.

But the problem is that the valuation of Qingcheng Group is already too high, and the selling price of 71 Assistant + Motu Xiuxiu is also due to the competition of the three giants, resulting in a high premium.

Based on this, isn't it just not talking nonsense?

Although Zhang Shuo has great confidence in the Germination Group, it is not so easy to reach the [-] billion mark.

What's even more outrageous is that the follow-up article will use this as a benchmark, and then calculate that Zhang Shuo personally holds 67% of the shares of the Sprout Group, inferring that Zhang Shuo's personal wealth is as high as 648.56 billion.

What is this concept?
If calculated according to the China Rich List released in September 2011, Zhang Shuo will surpass Qiandu CEO Li Hong in one fell swoop, and become the new richest man in Mainland China with a net worth of US$9 billion.

Even if it is placed in the entire Chinese circle, it can be ranked in the top five.

It's crazy enough.

In 2012, the weight of the richest man was very important. Whether it was the old man, the uncle, or even that one, they all began to show their faces frequently after becoming the richest man, becoming a big brother in the business circle.

What is Zhang Shuo's virtue and ability?
Germination has only been established for a year and a half, and Zhang Shuo is so young, if he is really crowned the richest man, it will definitely cause harm but no benefit.

"This is someone trying to kill me, can I sue?" Zhang Shuo was not dazzled.

The richest man is a gimmick.

"It is possible to sue, but at most it is to get some compensation, and it will make the other party famous, and at the same time, this matter will make a lot of noise." Jiang Yue obviously does not agree with the prosecution.

This is the last resort.

"What about your opinion?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"I suggest contacting major websites in advance. As long as this report is not spread on the Internet, the newspaper alone will not have much impact." Jiang Yue made a public relations suggestion.

"Okay, you handle this matter yourself."

"understand!"

Jiang Yue naturally knew the seriousness, otherwise she wouldn't have come to report early in the morning.

"The tree wants to be still, but the wind doesn't stop."

Although this report is exaggerated, it also reveals an indisputable fact, because the Sprout Group has only two shareholders, Zhang Shuo and Dream Fund, of which Zhang Shuo is the major shareholder holding 67% of the shares.

The result is.

Once Germinal's valuation exceeds [-] billion, Zhang Shuo's personal wealth will reach a very exaggerated figure, surpassing the three Internet masters in one fell swoop, and becoming the richest one.

Inevitably, we will be pushed to the forefront.

Even now, with the current operating income and operating scale of the Germination Group, it is easy to enter the list of the top [-] Chinese enterprises, and it is necessary to attract attention.

"We have to find a way to hide a little bit of strength, so we can't be too sharp." Zhang Shuo pondered.

Under China's unique cultural atmosphere, the early rafters rot quickly, not to say that the sooner you become famous, the better. It is easy to cause some people's pink eyes, and then lead to all kinds of troubles.

Some troubles may even be unexpected resistance.

Naturally, keep a low profile.

The problem is that the budding development is really too fast, even though Zhang Shuo is already low-key enough, he basically does not accept media interviews and never speaks out, and never releases any bold words to the outside world.

They even hid on university campuses.

That's it.

They were still being watched.

"Why don't you register an offshore company overseas and then transfer your personal shares to an overseas company, so that you can avoid being directly exposed to the spotlight of the media." Jiang Yue suggested.

This is not the first time that Jiang Yue proposed to set up an overseas offshore company. Lu Kai, financial manager Han Mei and others have all made similar suggestions to Zhang Shuo one after another.

The benefits of using overseas offshore companies to hold domestic companies are obvious.

One is to enhance the competitive advantage.

Many overseas listing cooperation and compliance tax planning are inseparable from offshore companies. With the help of the legal system of offshore companies, the independence of management can bring more favorable space for the company's development and enhance its competitive advantage.

Second, the operating capital is diverse.

Offshore companies hold domestic companies, so the domestic company's capital pool must come from the holding company.

After the overseas offshore company is established, it can open bank accounts all over the world to carry out international business, so as to conduct online banking transfer operations.

The third is to facilitate the transfer of equity.

In the listing of companies and their overseas cooperation, domestic enterprises can use offshore companies to hold shares, and can also cooperate with other offshore companies to set up offshore structures to facilitate operations such as equity transfer of the ultimate controlling shareholder.

Fourth, it can establish an international brand.

After going public, many domestic companies have built and established international brands through "return investment" or mergers and acquisitions to improve the international reputation of their products and open up the international market.

Fifth, enjoy the preferential tax system.

Xiangjiang and other places have the characteristics of low tax types and low tax rates.

Huaxia also has special tax incentives for Xiangjiang. Domestic investors registering Xiangjiang companies can enjoy relevant foreign investment preferential policies when connecting with mainland companies, which plays an important role in corporate tax planning.

This is why, almost all Internet companies in China, as long as they are well-known and large, like to set up offshore company holdings overseas.

It has even become a trend in the circle. It seems very old-fashioned not to set up a few offshore companies.

"inappropriate!"

Zhang Shuo resolutely refused, "I said before, Sprout is a Huaxia enterprise, and it will never engage in offshore enterprises."

There are many benefits to setting up an offshore company, but in Zhang Shuo's eyes, these benefits are neither long-term, taken for granted, nor irreplaceable.

Once it is exposed, it is actually the same thing, and it is not as magical as it is boasted.

For example, the competitive advantage lies in the product itself in the final analysis. If the product is not well done, everything else is false.Once the product is ready, other tax planning and the like are trivial.

The so-called international brand image is also the same. Take Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment as an example. If the mobile game is well done and popular all over the world, it will naturally enhance its international influence.

A negative example is Tenda.

Through the crazy investment and acquisitions of Yuanshikong overseas, Tenda Games has indeed become the world's largest game manufacturer in terms of revenue, but how much is its real overseas popularity?

Even the country is full of scolding.

What's the point of such internationalization?

Another example is overseas financing.

Germinal established Sunshine Holdings early on, which is fully capable of undertaking overseas financing responsibilities.

As for equity transfers and the like, that is even more nonsense. Germination is neither interested in listing overseas nor attracting overseas investors.

What about equity transfer?

The last tax break, Zhang Shuo scoffed at.

pay taxes.

Isn't that what it should be?

"Then we can only find ways to invest in some media organizations and cover them up as much as possible." Jiang Yue couldn't understand Zhang Shuo's stubbornness, but he could only settle for the next best thing.

I have been rejected a lot, and I have long been mentally prepared.

Jiang Yue didn't even mention the matter of employee shareholding, which can certainly hide Zhang Shuo behind the scenes, but she also knows that Zhang Shuo strongly opposes employee shareholding.

"The media can't touch it either. This is also a red line." Zhang Shuo shook his head.

"Then I'm really at a loss."

Jiang Yue was very distressed. Germination's shareholding structure was too simple. Not only at the group level, but also at the subsidiary level, except for Qingcheng Group, all of them held 100% of the shares.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is obvious.

Even if you want to cover up through complicated cross-shareholdings, it is completely impossible.

"Why don't we do this first."

Zhang Shuo himself had an idea, "Transfer the 20% of the shares of the Sprout Group under my name to Chunmiao Fund for custody, and of course the voting rights will still be authorized to me. What do you think?"

"Yes, yes."

Jiang Yue did not object, and it is also common practice to transfer equity to public welfare funds. "The problem is, even if Chunmiao Fund trusts 20% of the shares in Gerd, you still hold 47% of Gerd's shares under your name."

It doesn't really make much sense.

"It can be diluted a little bit, at least it won't be crowned the richest man again."

Even according to the valuation of 20 billion in the newspaper, Zhang Shuo's personal assets will drop from 648.56 billion to 454.96 billion after entrusting [-]% ​​of the budding equity.

In an instant, his personal wealth of 20 billion has shrunk.

If necessary in the future, Zhang Shuo can also transfer more budding shares to Chunmiao Fund.

As for why Zhang Shuo didn't transfer most of the shares to Chunmiao Fund in one go, and hide himself behind the scenes, he was of course also guarding against any changes in Chunmiao Fund.

Before ensuring the absolute safety of Chunmiao Fund, Zhang Shuo must personally hold enough shares.

Moreover.

The injection of nearly 20 billion assets is enough to make Chunmiao Fund rank among the top domestic public welfare funds in one fell swoop.

It's high-profile enough.

"There is another advantage to doing this. In the future, Chunmiao Fund will be able to maintain the operation of public welfare funds only by relying on the budding year-end dividends, and it will also dispel the outside world's doubts about whether the Chunmiao Fund can continue."

Germination Group is indeed still in a state of loss on the books, but this loss will not last for a long time. It is almost inevitable to realize profitability when Maili Technology is actually implemented.

when the time is right.

Of course, Germination also pays dividends, although Zhang Shuo is the only real shareholder.

"Understood, I'll let the legal department draw up the contract."

In any case, Jiang Yue is very appreciative of Zhang Shuo's willingness to take out 20% of Bud's equity for public welfare, and is also happy to see the scale of Chunmiao Fund getting bigger and bigger.

As for the resulting tax cuts, they are actually trivial.

.........

When Jiang Yue left, Zhang Shuo's face was slightly gloomy, and he muttered to himself: "These cockroaches and mice hiding in the dark corners are really wicked."

Zhang Shuo was not sure if this was another conspiracy against him.

But it must be given enough attention.

Allocating part of the personal equity to the Chunmiao Fund is only a temporary solution, not the root cause, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the allocation, the equity is still controlled by Zhang Shuo.

Change the soup but not the medicine.

Zhang Shuo is very fortunate now that he chose to hand over his personal funds to Fenglei Fund for operation. If Fenglei Fund's investments were all made in the name of Germination.

Then, when the invested unicorn companies become bigger one by one, the wealth accumulated by the sprouts will be unimaginably huge, and it is inevitable that people will not be dubbed "monopoly".

The situation is bound to be even more difficult in the future.

Some of the risks are shared by Fenglei Fund, and at the same time, with the convenience of private equity funds, it will not be so conspicuous to choose to exit at the right time after the unicorn grows up.

Invisibly eliminated many potential risks for Zhang Shuo.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shuo rarely called his second uncle, "Second uncle, I have something to trouble you."

"You said."

Tang Yi on the other end of the phone was very rare. Zhang Shuo rarely opened his mouth to him, especially on the phone like now. Even if there was communication in the past, it was face to face in the courtyard.

"Is such that……"

Zhang Shuo explained the news reports in detail.

"You suspect that someone stabbed you in the back?" Tang Yi also became serious.

"Yes!"

"Don't worry, let me handle this matter."

Whether it is from the official standpoint or the standpoint of his uncle and nephew, Tang Yi has every reason to protect Zhang Shuo and protect Zhang Shuo from unnecessary pressure or means from the outside world.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Zhang Shuo let out a long sigh of relief.

In China, to deal with such a thing, you have to go through the upper channels.

"Are you still polite to me?"

After talking about the business, even Tang Yi couldn't help but gossip, "Sprout's valuation, is it really worth 100 billion?"

"If there's no shadow, it's only seventy-eight billion."

Zhang Shuo had a rare visit to Versailles.

In fact, even if some investment institutions want to invest in Germination with a valuation of [-] billion, Zhang Shuo will not accept it, and sell a dozen or so points of shares in exchange for tens of billions of development funds.

Not worth it at all!

Therefore, in Zhang Shuo's mind, the valuation of Germination Group is actually more than [-] billion.

"..."

Tang Yi was greatly shocked, is there any difference?

It's really hard to visualize. In just over a year, Zhang Shuo has grown the sprout from nothing to the current scale by himself without doing any crooked ways.

Calling it a miracle is not an exaggeration at all.

Afterwards, Zhang Shuo told his second uncle about the plan to transfer part of Germination shares to the Chunmiao Fund. Even if he reported to the authorities, it would be equivalent to adding a thick layer of buffs.

"You did the right thing, and I support it."

Tang Yi was very pleased, "Take it from the people and return it to the society. This is a real hero!"

This kind of broad-mindedness, not to mention young people in their twenties, even those who are 70 years old, may not be able to have it. How can it not be admired?
Or rather.

In a sense, it is precisely because Zhang Shuo is young and vigorous, and has not been eroded and bound by the wealth of the sky, so he does not pay too much attention to personal wealth, but pays more attention to success itself.

It's not like some old treacherous and cunning people, who would rather bear the infamy of traitors, but also cling to wealth.

The miser is hammered!

.........

in the afternoon.

Zhang Shuo called Lu Kai to the office, and said with a smile: "Didn't you propose to set up an independent investment company to operate the group's investment business? I agree. The new company should be called Sprout Investment."

The accident in the morning made Zhang Shuo realize that some things must be accelerated.

speak up.

The name of the Germination Group was Germination Capital from the very beginning. After going around and around, it returned to the "origin".

Of course, the establishment of an independent investment company does not mean that Germinal Investment will be operated independently, but in essence, it will be handed over to the Group's Investment and M&A Department.

It's just that when signing the investment contract, instead of using Germination Group, it uses Germination Investment instead.

Doing so, on the one hand, is convenient for independent financial accounting, and on the other hand, it is also beneficial for the Germination Group to transfer profits to Germination Investment, and then use it for investment business.

Moreover, it is also beneficial to make a certain cut to Germinal Group and Germinal Investment.

It is equivalent to a double insurance.

"Transfer the Particle Fund and the shares of Wujiang Technology, Walli Intelligent Manufacturing, Linde New Energy and other companies held by the Germination Group to the Germination Investment name to straighten out the relationship between them." Zhang Shuo ordered.

"Ok."

Lu Kai was looking forward to it, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to show your strength again in the investment business?"

The so-called new officials took office three fires.

As the new rotating president of the Germination Group, although it is inevitable to run between Xiangjiang and Binhai, Lu Kai enjoys it and looks forward to making some achievements in his tenure.

Investment is undoubtedly a good starting point.

"Don't overthink it!"

Zhang Shuo cut off Lu Kai's extravagant hope on the spot.

"For a long time to come, the group will still maintain a prudent attitude in investment business. Even if it wants to invest, it will serve the group's business department, not blind investment."

The Tengda of the original space-time is a lesson from the past.

After establishing the "traffic + capital" style of play, Tenda, under the banner of "handing over half-life to competitors", makes use of sufficient cash flow in its hands, and then drives the flow to make waves in the investment market.

In the year with the most frequent investment, hundreds of companies were invested in one year.

Because it only acts as a "strategic investor of pure financial investment", Tengda even reversed its image in the entrepreneurial circle for a while, from a lazy Tengda to a popular Tengda.

It is sought after by countless entrepreneurs.

Once a start-up company is favored by Tenda, it seems that it needs traffic and capital.

Can you not welcome me?
With the support of Tenda, a group of unicorn companies such as Jingdong, Meituan, and Pinxixi have ushered in a boom, which has also allowed Tenda to make a lot of money in investment business.

It has greatly promoted the growth of Tenda's operating income.

The group photo of Tenda’s dinner party during the World Internet Conference, which became popular all over the Internet, also became the best footnote to the success of Tenda’s “traffic + capital” strategy.

Created a Tengda with friends all over the world.

But the highlight moments that belonged exclusively to Tenda lasted less than five years in total. With the rise of short videos, the traffic moat built by Tenda with ICQ and Weixin as the hubs has been challenged.

Following the official policy adjustment, Tenda's game business also suffered a heavy blow.

The two core businesses suffered setbacks one after another, shattering Tenda's seemingly unbreakable golden armor at once, and the stock price fell all the way, and even suffered a cut in half.

At that time, Tengda was nicknamed "Tengda without dreams".

Everything seems to be back to the original point.

Under heavy pressure, in order to adjust deployment, cut expenses, and cut off marginal projects, even Tengda had to initiate large-scale layoffs, which even caused heated discussions on the Internet.

In view of this.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Shuo to rush forward in the investment business and forget the essence of investment.

The essence of venture capital and investment banks investing is to make money.

There is nothing to say about this.

However, the investment department under the Germinal Group is essentially serving the business department. It is also important to make money, but it is only a secondary purpose.

Tengda just didn't figure this out, so he stumbled.

What's more, compared to Tengda's wealth and wealth and focus on the Internet industry, Germination is not as good as Tengda in terms of funds, and its business ambitions are greater than Tengda's.

How can it be possible to continue to increase the investment business?

Prudent investment is the right way.

"All right!"

Although Lu Kai was frustrated, he was not discouraged, "Then, the application for a financial license that I proposed earlier?"

"It can also be advanced."

The recent change in Zhang Shuo's business thinking is also reflected in his attitude towards finance. He is no longer afraid of snakes and scorpions and avoids it, but has begun to try to understand it.

After all, finance is just a leverage tool, good or bad depends on how it is used.

Germination cannot be eaten because of choking.

Lu Kai's suggestion is to start with Weixin's upcoming "change" function in 2012, and establish a separate financial service company - Sprout Finance.

Apply for another financial license to enter the Internet financial industry.

It is no different from the original Time and Space Tengda's style of play.

In this regard, Zhang Shuo must of course give certain restrictions, and he cannot go back to Tengda's old path, and put up two fingers, "The premise is that I have two rigid requirements for this company."

"You say."

Lu Kai paid much attention to it and took out his notepad.

"First, what we want to apply for is not an ordinary financial service company, but a financial holding company. We will incorporate all the financial-related businesses under the Germination Group into this financial holding company, without leaving any dead ends, and consciously accept all-round Supervision, improving risk isolation measures, and regulating related party transactions.”

Compliance and legality are Zhang Shuo's bottom line, especially in the sensitive financial industry.

"Second, don't engage in high leverage, don't engage in ABS circular matryoshka, and do as much as you have registered capital and capital. You can't be wild, and you can't step on the red line."

"In this case, the dishes that can be handled are very limited." Lu Kai was not reconciled.

If the registered capital of Sprout Financial Holdings is 3 billion, according to the relevant regulations, then it can lend at a leverage ratio of ten times the registered capital.

In other words, it will be able to undertake up to 30 billion online micro-loans.

If the loan is jointly issued with a bank, according to regulations, the proportion of the joint loan contribution should not be less than 30%, then Sprout Financial Holdings can undertake up to 100 billion online micro-loans.

It doesn't look like much, but it's definitely almost meaningless.

"I didn't want to make the plate too big, mainly because the risk is controllable."

Zhang Shuo speaks earnestly.

"I agreed to establish Germination Financial Holdings mainly for the convenience of the group's financing in the future. I didn't think about relying on this kind of online loan to make too much profit. Some profits, don't worry about it."

As the budding group grows in size and earns more and more money, its thirst for funds will also increase, and the corresponding difficulty and cost of financing will gradually increase.

It is unrealistic to get a large loan from a bank.

Overseas financing is indeed a good channel, but it is not a panacea.

Corporate bonds cannot be issued frequently.

In contrast, it may be a good choice to use Weixin to pay and change, and to accumulate a small amount from Weixin users at a relatively low loan interest rate to obtain loans.

Belonging is a win-win.

In the eyes of the outside world, there may still be many uncertainties in the future development of the Germination Group, but in Zhang Shuo's case, as the two major businesses of games and social networking gradually take shape, the certainty of the Germination Group's future has actually been going up. , It is difficult to lose money.

Since this is the case, it is a low-risk event for Germination Financial Holdings to lend money to Germination Group.

Naturally, it is a win-win situation!
"Fine!"

After all, Zhang Shuo insisted on one thing in the group, and Lu Kai could only choose to compromise.

What's more, whether it is Germination Investment or Germination Financial Holdings, they are still only on paper. The first thing to do is to establish these two companies.

I will talk about other things later.

"You will be solely responsible for the preparation of the two companies. The subsequent operations of the two companies, together with Sunshine Holdings, will still be in charge of you, and the person in charge will report directly to you."

Just after hitting Lu Kai, Zhang Shuo quickly gave him a handful of red dates.

"Thank you, President Zhang!"

As expected, Lu Kai felt comfortable immediately.

Before, he was only in charge of the overseas business department, so his authority was inevitably thinner. Now he is also in charge of Germination Investment and Germination Financial Holdings, which is equivalent to becoming the main person in charge of the group's investment and financial related businesses.

The status immediately went up.

After half a year, even if he stepped down as the rotating president, he would still be able to stand upright in the group.

From Zhang Shuo's point of view, managing such a large conglomerate, it is natural to understand the power in the hands of the subordinates, so as to be suspicious of people and employ them without suspicion.

Among the three current vice presidents of Germination Group——

Jiang Yue is in charge of administration, public welfare and functional departments, Lu Kai is in charge of overseas, investment and financial related departments, Gu Mingzhang's main energy is still on Maili Technology, and the group is only a "part-time job".

With the addition of Wu Sheyuan, director of human resources, and Zhao Mingchuan, director of operations, the two "hum ha two generals", the group's senior management allocation can only be said to be barely enough, but it is far from perfect.

When the time is right, Germination will add a new vice president.

It is best to add a vice president in charge of the Internet business, in charge of the three Internet-related subsidiaries of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, Qinghe Technology and Qingyun Data.

As the time goes.

Zhang Shuo has become less and less energetic to directly manage his subsidiaries.

"Mr. Zhang, how do you arrange funds for the two new companies, Sprout Investment and Sprout Financial Holdings?" Lu Kai, on the other hand, wanted to do something, and couldn't wait to open his mouth to ask for money.

It's not that Lu Kai is impatient.

In fact, the 71 billion funds that the Germinal Group sold 120 assistants and Motu Xiuxiu, although they have not yet arrived, have been targeted by many people both openly and secretly.

Everyone wants to get a piece of it.

If you don't make a move sooner, you really have to wait until the two new companies are ready to be established, and the day lily may be cold.

"Sprout Investment is supported by the Particle Fund, and we only plan to allocate one billion funds for the time being. Sprout Financial Holdings will do it according to the budget of 3 billion, and the loan scale of 100 billion is enough." Zhang Shuo is not stingy.

If you have sufficient funds in your hands and are clear in doing things, you will naturally be full of confidence.

"Thank you, President Zhang!"

Of course Lu Kai was even happier.

The combination of the two new companies is equivalent to taking away one-third of the 120 billion funds in one go. Naturally, I dare not expect more.

If you are not satisfied, then you will be a little greedy.

.........

the next day.

The matter about Zhang Shuo becoming the new richest man is still quietly fermenting.

Although the second uncle is already dealing with it, and Jiang Yue has contacted a number of mainstream websites to take preventive measures in advance, but it still fails to stop the relevant news from spreading on the Internet.

Facts have proved.

Today, with the highly developed Internet, as long as the opponent has the heart, it is impossible to block relevant news.

Only press the heat at most.

But Zhang Shuo himself is a super "Internet celebrity" with a hot topic, and it involves super hot topics such as the richest man in China, and he can't suppress it.

Before the second uncle could deal with it in place, the public opinion on the Internet was detonated in advance.

"I'll go, read that right, King Meng is now the richest man in New China?"

"It just doesn't feel real."

"It should be a gimmick, no matter how good the sprout is, can it compare to the Big Three?"

"That is, besides games, Mengya doesn't seem to have any products that can be sold, right? At most, it is a low-end version of Tenda. How did it become the new richest man?"

really.

The rebellious psychology of netizens is very serious, and some hate the rich.

People who had supported Zhang Shuo before saw that Zhang Shuo was suddenly dubbed the richest man at a young age, felt offended instinctively, and jumped up on the spot.

It shows the complexity of human nature.

Of course, there are also rationalists, "I think it's very reasonable. According to the article, Qingcheng Group alone is valued at 160 billion, and Germination Group's overall valuation exceeds [-] billion. Isn't it normal?"

"that is!"

"Meng Wang's personal wealth has skyrocketed, that's because Meng Wang holds a lot of shares in Germination, unlike other entrepreneurs, most of the shares have been taken away by investment institutions."

"The solution is upstairs!"

"Some people are just jealous and don't want to see other people's success."

"Then since Zhang Shuo is so successful, why didn't he donate the money? More than 600 billion personal wealth, [-] per person in the whole country, is it more than enough?"

"Hehe, the IQ upstairs is worrying. You don't need to come out to mess around before you graduate from elementary school."

"Why do you have to donate all the money you earn with your skills? Why don't you donate your salary, even if you donate 1000 taels, I respect you as a man!"

"What's the real comparison upstairs with someone who eats instant noodles? Speaking of which, does Sprout invest less in public welfare? It's already far ahead of other Internet companies, okay?"

"That's right, I hate those forced donations the most. They look like the Holy Mother, but they are actually green tea!!"

"Let's have fun, everyone. This is obviously a reporter trying to please the public. We'll just have to see how Mengya responds. Don't let anyone lead you into the rhythm."

"Looking forward to +1!"

I have to say that Zhang Shuo is still very popular on the Internet. Although there will inevitably be some rebounds, and some fish in troubled waters with rhythm, but overall it is fine.

At least there has not been a wave of unanimous criticism from top to bottom.

And this trend of public opinion will probably disappoint those conspirators who hide in the dark corners and try to watch a good show, right?

At the end of the day.

It was Germina who insisted on doing public welfare to win the hearts of the people, and the superimposed aura took effect at the critical moment.

It can be seen that it is done right.

.........

Germination Building.

"Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect that public opinion would ferment so quickly." Jiang Yue blamed herself.

Although the overall public opinion on the Internet is good, the matter has already been exposed after all, and the public opinion is still fermenting. It is really difficult to predict what emergencies will happen in the future.

what is has been confirmed is.

After this round of "exposure", Zhang Shuo has completely become a well-known celebrity in China. No matter whether he can be named the richest man in China or not, his amazing wealth is an undoubted fact.

Zhang Shuo was pushed to the cusp of the storm.

As the saying goes: "People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong."

Zhang Shuo is now famous and strong, so how many people may miss him.

"It has nothing to do with you." Zhang Shuo was very calm. "The public opinion is fermenting so quickly, but it is basically certain that from the beginning to the end of this matter, someone wanted to mess with me behind my back."

"The other party has been plotting for a long time, and if he wants to stop it, he will definitely be unable to stop it."

"That's fine. The other party took the initiative to jump out this time. It's better than hiding in the stinky ditch all the time. When we are weak, he will jump out and give us a fatal blow."

"Just treat it as squeezing out the pustules in advance!"

Jiang Yue admired Zhang Shuo's calmness, and asked for instructions: "Then, start the plan now?"

Since Germination has defined this matter as a public relations crisis, it is naturally impossible to have only one plan. Last night, Jiang Yue stayed up late at the company and worked overtime, just preparing various plans overnight.

It is this kind of emergency that is to be guarded against.

"Start it!"

Zhang Shuo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and there were dark clouds drifting across the distant sky.
