Chapter 295 Germination strikes back, scarlet capital subdues, that's it? (two in one)

Thursday, November 1.

As soon as Zhang Shuo returned to Binhai City, Jiang Yue came to report.

"Mr. Zhang, the package purchase contract for the remaining land in the Germinal Industrial Park has been finalized with the Houhai government. The total land price is 55 billion. Houhai also took the initiative to help us contact the bank. After paying the land transfer fee, we can take a convenient channel for mortgage loans , 38.5% of the loan, which is [-] billion.”

In other words.

To acquire the remaining land in the industrial park, Sprout actually only needs to pay 16.5 billion in cash.

Of course, this is already a considerable amount of expenditure. If the follow-up construction expenditure is included, it is conservatively estimated that the industrial park project expenditure will exceed 2012 billion in the whole year of 3.

The Sprout Group's budget for this year will increase by another small step.

"So fast?"

Zhang Shuo was very surprised. According to his prediction, what happened, this matter would have to be delayed until a year later.

"It's probably because Houhai was stimulated. Seeing that you are going to Shanghai and Haijin City to meet with leaders from all walks of life, Houhai is also in a hurry. We have to deal with special matters and give the green light all the way." Jiang Yue explained with a smile.

She still remembers how excited Houhai was after offering a package solution.

Just like pie in the sky.

"That's right."

Zhang Shuo didn't expect it either.

It seems that being famous is not all a bad thing, sometimes it can be a good thing.

"Then continue to work hard and try to finalize the formal contract before the holiday at the end of the year." Zhang Shuo is also vigorous and resolute, "If it is soon, the construction of the industrial park will start in the spring of next year."

"Don't worry!"

Jiang Yue is already familiar with handling mortgage loans.

After talking about work, Jiang Yue talked about another matter, "Mr. Zhang, Binhai University's treatment of Li Ming is to stay on campus for probation. Look, does the group need to sue Li Ming?"

"Forget it, let's stop here!"

Li Ming is just a pawn, not worth mentioning.

After this incident, no matter how Binhai University handles it, Li Ming's situation at school will be very difficult, and it will even affect his job after graduation.

Being on the blacklist of the Sprout Group, it is definitely impossible to enter a major Internet company.

In view of this, there is no need to pursue and fight.

It seems too petty.

What Zhang Shuo was more concerned about was who was behind Li Ming's instigation. This matter has been handed over to Li Feng to investigate.

.........

It's Friday in a blink of an eye.

Next Sunday is New Year's Eve. Seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, the Sprout Group will also choose the annual company annual meeting on the last Friday of the week.

Let's have fun, guys.

Apart from performances and lottery draws at this year's annual meeting, the biggest change is that awards are interspersed in the middle.

Like Best New Hire.

Zhang Shuo, the big boss, is also generous. The ten best new employees selected will each receive a cash reward of [-] yuan, and they can have a good year.

Among them is Dai Yutong, the administrative secretary.

Zhang Shuo didn't engage in the practice of recommending talents and avoiding relatives. Dai Yutong himself did a good job, and he was also his administrative secretary. He was the leader of this new group of employees.

Naturally, extra care is required.

Other awards include Best Employee, Best Sales, Best Programmer, etc.

The most concerned, of course, is the most important Annual President's Special Contribution Award. Last year, Jiang Yue won the award, and this year, Wu Sheyuan won the award, in recognition of his outstanding contribution in the group's human resources field.

Get a special bonus of 1 million.

"Thank you, President Zhang!"

After receiving the award certificate from Zhang Shuo, even with Wu Sheyuan's calmness, he couldn't help being excited.

It's not just about money.

It is also the greatest affirmation of his work this year.

The person in charge of human resources and finance is not easy to be replaced, and Wu Sheyuan won the President's Special Contribution Award, which almost established his unbreakable position in the Germination Group.

Can you not be excited?

At the end of the annual meeting, Chen Xiaowan organized Germinal executives to sing KTV again, not to mention that.

.........

weekend.

Taking advantage of the New Year's Eve, Zhang Shuo went to visit Mr. Tang again, and met his second uncle by the way.

Tang Yi patted Zhang Shuo on the shoulder and said with a smile, "How about it, are you not discouraged?"

"I'm fine, that's where I am." Zhang Shuo smiled.

"Not bad, in a good mood."

Tang Yi was very relieved, "It is a mediocrity not to be envied by others. There are indeed some bad signs in this incident. I have already warned some people, but there is no guarantee that similar things will not happen again next time." .”

Tang Yi was really angry this time.

Someone actually messed with Zhang Shuo under his nose. It's really a tiger who doesn't show his power. He treats him as a sick cat, and he is determined to solve and rectify some stubborn forces.

Resolutely show an attitude to the outside world.

It was also from this moment that Tang Yi really stood behind Zhang Shuo and became Zhang Shuo's strong backing.

"It is inevitable that there will be similar struggles and conflicts in the future. You must be mentally prepared." Tang Yi is a person who has experienced great storms and understands the complexity of the world and the complexity of people's hearts.

"I know."

Zhang Shuo was also a little bit mentally prepared. The shopping mall was like a battlefield, and there were invisible swords and swords everywhere.

How can the years be quiet.

Leaving aside, let's just talk about the confrontation between Tengda and Qihu. In the end, they really used all means. It was definitely a hundred times more exciting than the TV series.

As the budding group grows stronger day by day, Zhang Shuo must also learn to adapt to this new normal.

"The principles of shopping malls and power fields are actually interlinked."

Tang Yi couldn't help telling Zhang Shuo a few words, "If you want to accomplish something, you must let those who oppose you understand you, let those who understand you support you, let those who support you be loyal to you, and let those who are loyal to you defend you. Allow someone to dislike you, but not let him hate you. If he wants to hate you, let him be afraid of you."

Zhang Shuo was thoughtful.

The guys behind dared to provoke him again and again, obviously because they were not afraid of him.

Without reverence, one would naturally act unscrupulously.

This made Zhang Shuo deeply realize that in some matters, perhaps he should take the initiative to show his thunderous means, otherwise, it would be really difficult to deter the young people.

.........

After returning from Mr. Tang, Zhang Shuo received another call from Mr. Zhang.

"Son, when are you going home for vacation?"

"Next week, what's the matter?"

"The leader of Jiangcheng University has visited our house for the second time, trying to inquire about you." Zhang Shuo was promising, but Zhang Zhandong was also worried.

The couple were afraid that something would happen to Zhang Shuo.

The leaders of Jiangcheng visited Zhang Zhandong, naturally because they did not want to drink. They pointed their swords at Zhang Shuo, the new "richest man", and hoped that the Germination Group could invest in Jiangcheng.

That's the price of being famous.

"Understood, when I return to Jiangcheng, I can arrange a meeting." Zhang Shuo is not qualified to show off in Huaxia, especially when facing the leaders of his hometown.

No matter what, you have to make a little gesture.

"If it's difficult for you, forget it, or just stay in Binhai City for the New Year, and I'll stand in your way for Jiangcheng." Zhang Zhandong was still very sensible.

To put it bluntly, is there anything in Jiangcheng worthy of investment by the Germination Group?
He didn't want to affect the decision-making of the Germinal Group and Zhang Shuo's personal judgment because of the interference from the local area.

When the children are promising, the parents are naturally happy.

But too promising and worried.

For example, Zhang Zhandong and his wife, in the richest man's turmoil this time, were not less worried, for fear that Zhang Shuo would be screwed up and would not be able to do anything.

It can only be a night of insomnia.

"Old Zhang, it's okay. It's okay to meet up, and you don't have to agree to invest immediately." Having dealt with the authorities a lot, especially under the influence of his second uncle, Zhang Shuo has also learned how to get along.

Do Tai Chi, who can't?
If he really wanted to hide and not go back, he would be clean, and Lao Zhang would feel bad.

do not forget.

Lao Zhang is still eating at the public house, how can he remain indifferent in the midst of the situation?
.........

Monday, May 1.

Today is a new year, but the workers are still working hard, although after the annual meeting, the company has actually entered the "standby" state, fishing for fish, chatting for chatting.

Zhang Shuo was as serious as ever.

In the last week of the year, ordinary employees might be very free, but he was even busier.

The rhythm of Germination has not been disrupted either.

For example, in terms of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, it has sold the overseas agency rights of "Mountain Climbing Racing", "Kingdom Arthur: The Battle of the North" and "Honkai Academy" launched last month to Sunlight Holdings.

The three mobile games are all suitable for overseas promotion, and the agency fee has also hit a new high, with a cumulative price of 18 billion.

It has set a new high in the overseas agency rights of games under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.

Another example is Qinghe Technology. Before the holiday at the end of the year, it updated Weixin version 6.2 and officially launched the "Weixin red envelope" function to warm up the upcoming Spring Festival red envelope activity.

In the afternoon, Lu Kai came to Zhang Shuo's office.

"Mr. Zhang, I have found out that it is indeed Scarlet Capital that is behind the scenes. It is said that because we interfered with the merger of Meituan and Dacong Dianping, some people in Scarlet Capital were upset and deliberately disgusted us."

"Is Tan Chairen leading again?"

"I don't know who it is. It's probably close to ten." It's impossible for Lu Kai to investigate so carefully.

"I have to find a way to teach Scarlet Capital a lesson, so I can't be disgusted like this all the time." Zhang Shuo was very upset, and raised his head and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"According to the information I got, Scarlet Capital is in contact with Tubatu, a start-up company in Binhai City, and plans to lead Tubatu's A round of financing. I suggest that Bud Investment can step in."

Founded in July 2008, Tubatu is an Internet home improvement company that mainly operates two business lines, namely the online platform and home improvement contracting business.

The original space-time has a close relationship with Scarlet Capital, and Scarlet Capital led the first three rounds of financing.

"can."

Zhang Shuo agreed immediately.

On this three-acre land in Binhai City, Germination still has some influence.

Especially with the turmoil of the richest man, the popularity of Germinal has soared, and the attitude of many domestic start-ups to the investment of Germinal has also changed.

From the previous rejection, to the willingness to accept the budding investment.

Some people in the circle have even advocated that the Sprout Group be listed as the fourth giant after the Big Three.

If Tubatu’s A-round financing can be snatched from Scarlet Capital, it will not only be a warning to Scarlet Capital, but also help to promote the cooperation between Tubatu and Qingyun Data.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"But it's not enough."

Zhang Shuo couldn't help but ask Lu Kai, "How is the current situation of the mold group?"

Ever since Germinal rejected Ari's shares in Meituan last time, and broke the news that Tengda intends to bring together Meituan and Dacong Dianping for cooperation, after the matter was brought to light, Meituan has become a complete abandonment.

"very bad."

Lu Kai smiled and said: "It is said that more than half of the employees have been lost, and the capital chain is about to break. Last month, the food delivery subsidy was cancelled, and Dacong Dianping, Nomi.com, and Ahli Dianping are far behind."

"is it?"

Zhang Shuo sighed a little.

He didn't expect that, just by playing a little trick, the former time and space, which was so powerful that it once squeezed out Qiandu and became one of the new Internet giants, was swept into the dust of history in one fell swoop.

Who would have thought of this?
Because of the butterfly effect, Ari and Qiandu intervened in the food delivery industry early, and the three giants are fighting for hegemony. It is doomed that the mold group will not be able to obtain the same living space as the original time and space, and will not be able to develop and grow.

No mold, which is actually pretty good.

"In this way," Zhang Shuo quickly had an idea, "notify Pei Weiping, find any reason, let Qingcheng Xiaozhu be removed from Da Cong Dian Ping, and freeze the cooperation between each other."

"Are you targeting Tengda?" Lu Kai didn't understand.

The current situation of the food delivery industry is very delicate. The three giants maintain a balance of power on the surface, and they are all attacking the city through subsidy wars. No one can beat the other.

And Qingcheng Xiaozhu, a subsidiary of Qingcheng Group, played the role of a stabilizer in it.

Once Qingcheng Xiaozhu is taken off the shelves of Da Cong Dian Ping, Da Cong Dian Ping will immediately lose its chain in this critical period, and it is very likely that it will be thrown off by Ari Dianping and Nomi.com.

This is definitely not what Da Cong Dianping would like to see.

"Not against Tenda, but Scarlet Capital."

Zhang Shuo had figured it out a long time ago, "Find an opportunity to get in touch with Tengda, and say that the reason why Qingcheng Group suspended its cooperation with Dacong Dianping is because Scarlet Capital messed with me, and Germinal wants to vent his anger."

"I understand!"

Of course Lu Kai was not stupid, and said with a smile, "Are you trying to borrow a knife to kill people, and force Tengda to kick Scarlet Capital out of Dacong Dianping?"

"That depends on whether Tengda is ruthless enough."

In fact, Zhang Shuo is not absolutely sure. He just remembers that the former Space-Time Tengda, as the world's second-ranked investment institution, has a conflict of interest with Scarlet Capital.

But this generation of Tengda's investment business has just started, and it has not yet reached the level of Scarlet Capital.

But it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

.........

Tenda Building.

Lu Kai moved very quickly. Almost at the same time that Qingcheng Group announced the suspension of cooperation with Da Cong Dianping, they had already completed their contact with Tengda in private.

He knew Lu Jian before.

"It turns out that Scarlet Capital hired someone to do that."

Recently, there has been a lot of controversy about the richest man, and of course the second master is also concerned.

To be honest, the second master must feel a little uncomfortable being overwhelmed by a newcomer like Zhang Shuo in terms of personal wealth, but there is no way, because he holds too few shares in Tenda.

Don't talk about this life.

In the original time and space, the three uncles were overtaken by a mineral water seller because their shareholdings were too low?
Obediently give up the throne of China's richest man.

And it's even more embarrassing if it lasts for two years.

"Sprout hated Scarlet Capital, and Scarlet Capital took the opportunity to disgust Zhang Shuo. Zhang Shuo was angry, but vented his anger with Da Cong Dian Ping. What is this?" After talking with Lu Kai, Lu Jian was very depressed.

It is a disaster for the fish in the pond.

However, Germination has such capital, and with just a single announcement, it pinches the seven inches of Da Cong Dianping.

Really uncomfortable.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. The key is how to solve the problem." The second master stopped Lu Jian from complaining. He usually doesn't like to act emotionally.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss.

There are only two ways in front of Tengda, either to reject the unreasonable demands of Germination, or to accept.

It's that simple.

"Reject Germination, the risk is too great."

Lu Jian also admitted for a second, "If the food delivery market is monopolized by Dacong Dianping, then we are naturally not afraid of threats, but the crux of the problem now is that Ari and Qiandu are watching from the sidelines."

can only say.

The timing of Germinal's choice was too coincidental.

According to the goal set by Qingcheng Group, thousands of Qingcheng Xiaozhu stores will be opened in the whole year of 2012, and this year will be a crucial year for the food delivery war.

In this case, if Da Cong Dianping lost Qingcheng Xiaozhu, it would be tantamount to cutting off his own arm.

"Then agree to Germination's request."

The second master was very decisive, and said expressionlessly: "Send a wholly-owned acquisition application to Da Cong Dianping."

Even if there is no such thing as sprouting, in order to provide sufficient funds for Dacong Dianping for food delivery subsidies, Tenda has already planned to lead the B-round financing of Da Cong Dianping.

"A wholly-owned acquisition is not in line with our previous investment strategy."

Tengda's positioning in the investment business has always been to act as the best financial investor, let alone a wholly-owned acquisition, and it does not even seek a controlling stake, nor does it care whether it is the largest shareholder.

"Then do you have any way to squeeze Scarlet Capital out?"

Second Master, this is also a helpless move.

Scarlet Capital is also a giant, if it is possible, the second master does not want to have a bad relationship with Scarlet Capital early, only a wholly-owned acquisition can Scarlet Capital exit decently.

"That's it!"

Even if Lu Jian was reluctant, he could only hold his nose and admit it.

"What do you think of the red envelope function that Weixin just launched?" The second master looked at Yu Yu.

The three giants of Tenda came together, of course, not just for the sake of Da Cong Dianping, but also to touch some things about the company before the Spring Festival holiday.

"I don't see anything special about it yet." Yu Yu also told the truth.

"We still have to keep an eye on it. If it is really useful, then ICQ and Weichat can also be used for reference. The function of red envelopes is not an infringement of intellectual property rights, right?" Er Ye looked as usual.

"Okay, I'll let someone study it."

Feng Yu is also a follower of kindness, and there is no psychological burden for learning from Weixin.

When Lu Jian and Yu Yu left, the second master closed his eyes and rested his mind, thinking about Zhang Shuo's attitude.

After meeting at the awards ceremony before, Zhang Shuo rarely let go, allowing Tengda to obtain the qualification to acquire 71 assistants. Although Tengda was eventually eliminated, he could not blame anyone.

Plus this time.

Even if Zhang Shuo wanted to punish Scarlet Capital, he reminded Tenda.

It is a continuous release of goodwill.

"It's a pity that the two of us have fundamental conflicts in terms of business."

The second master had a headache.

.........

Marina City, Tuba Rabbit.

"Boss, recently Scarlet Capital and Germinal Investment have approached us one after another, hoping to lead Tuba Rabbit's A round of financing, and they all have exclusivity. Which one should I choose?"

Tuba Rabbit, which has been established for more than three years, has encountered troubles in happiness.

"what is your opinion?"

Wang Bin, the founder and CEO of Tuba Rabbit, also has a headache.

"It's really hard to say. Scarlet Capital is of course good, and its reputation in the Internet industry is also excellent. How many startups are eager to be noticed by Scarlet Capital."

"But having said that, Mengya's investment is also very good, and it is also located in Binhai City. The most important thing is that accepting Mengya's investment will not only obtain funds, but also cooperate with Qingyun Data."

The words inside and outside the words are biased toward germination.

This is also normal.

Scarlet Capital may be very competitive in front of other VCs, but it seems a bit weak in the face of a giant like Germina who is not short of money and can provide in-depth business cooperation.

"Then let's choose Mengya, the richest man anyway." Wang Bin made a decision with a smile.

.........

As the end of the new year is approaching, the Internet has become peaceful again, with fewer disputes and more celebrations. Major Internet manufacturers have also intensively launched various Spring Festival marketing activities.

Under the peace, there is an undercurrent surging.

Especially for Scarlet Capital, the last week of the year was extremely difficult.

First, I received a warning from the official, warning Scarlet Capital to abide by the rules and not to do something too outrageous, which will make everyone feel uncomfortable and openly break the rules of the game.

In the land of Huaxia, even Scarlet Capital would not dare to be unscrupulous.

Dare to jump back.

Every minute someone taught him how to be a man.

Then came the news that Tengda intends to wholly acquire Dacong Dianping.

This not only means that Scarlet Capital will be forced to withdraw from Dacong Dianping, but also means that after losing the platform of Dacong Dianping, Scarlet Capital will completely retreat from the local life service track.

This is definitely a major loss for Scarlet Capital, not stingy with Waterloo.

The mildew group is already a fool who can't afford it.

Even if Wang Xin of the mold group swears that as long as Scarlet Capital invests another [-] to [-] million dollars, he is confident to lead the mold group to stand out from the attack of the three giants.

But Scarlet Capital didn't believe it.

It's not that I don't believe it, but that Scarlet Capital's investment strategy is usually "small to big", and likes to lead the A round, B round, and C round of financing of start-ups.

And it is often not a company acting alone, or attracting other venture capital, or attracting Internet companies such as Tenda and Ari to act together.

This not only has a higher chance of success, but also takes up less money.

Scarlet Capital seems to be in charge of the Huaxia Internet, and the actual capital it has is only 30 to [-] billion, but it dares to invest and bet on [-] to [-] start-ups.

The average family has tens of millions of funds.

Those who are less may only invest a few million, and those who are more may only invest one or two hundred million.

Specific to mold groups.

If Tenda and Ari are willing to continue investing, Scarlet Capital will naturally be happy to follow suit.

But if you only rely on Scarlet Capital, even if you have this financial strength, you are not willing to take this risk alone and fight for an invisible future.

Rejecting Wang Xin is inevitable.

Don't expect these venture capital institutions to be able to talk about human feelings, they are usually ruthless.

In addition to Dacong Dianping, the contact with Tubatu also changed midway. Tubatu, who was originally very enthusiastic, suddenly changed his mind two days ago and froze the negotiation process.

Said to wait until next year to discuss.

Scarlet Capital sent someone to inquire, only to find out that Germination Investment was in contact with Tuba Rabbit.

Instantly understood what was going on.

"Sprout, Zhang Shuo!"

Tan Chairen, vice president of Scarlet Capital, has a slightly complicated expression at the moment.

He originally thought that Zhang Shuo could be discredited and discredited at the lowest cost through some public opinion wars, but he didn't expect Zhang Shuo to be an untouchable hedgehog with unfathomable morality.

Not only did he fail to do anything to Zhang Shuo, but he caused a mess all over, and he soon received revenge from Germinal.

"Let's end the confrontation with Germination for now."

The chairman of Scarlet Capital finally made the final decision, "Even if we want to compete with Germination, it is still in the market, and we are not allowed to engage in these useless little tricks in the future, which will make people laugh in vain."

The last sentence is a warning to Tan Chairen not to bring personal emotions to work.

Capital is greedy and devours blood, but it is also best at actuarial calculations.

Once it realizes that Germinal is not easy to mess with, and has a big temper, and there is no real benefit in confronting Germinal, Scarlet Capital can immediately adjust its strategy.

The figure is very soft!
