Chapter 300 Acquisition of the mold group?Germination reaps the benefits of the fisherman!
"Mr. Zhang, regarding the group's participation in Huaxia Microelectronics' financing, we have completed the internal process, and within a week, the relevant funds will be transferred to Huaxia Microelectronics' account." Lu Kai continued to report work.

The investment in Huaxia Microelectronics is also in the name of Germinal Investment.

to this end.

The group allocated an additional 20 billion special funds to Germination Investment.

"In addition to investing in Huaxia Microelectronics, I have decided to allocate an additional one billion yuan to the Particle Fund for investment in the semiconductor industry. The Investment and Acquisition Department must complete market research as soon as possible."

Zhang Shuo also did what he said.

Particle Fund’s investment in the semiconductor industry chain will also deliberately avoid the core business of Huaxia Microelectronics, focusing on upstream raw material processing and refining, downstream chip packaging and testing.

Concentrate on supporting and avoid involution.

"it is good!"

Lu Kai is naturally happy, eager to expand the group's investment business, and said with a smile: "The government intends to accelerate the development of the semiconductor industry, and it is indeed worth increasing investment in the semiconductor industry."

"Ah."

Zhang Shuo turned his head to look at Gu Mingzhang, "How is the preparation work for Daohuo Semiconductor going?"

In the semiconductor industry, in addition to investing, Germination has to personally end.

The first task is to activate the previously registered shell company—Binhai City Daosuke Semiconductor Co., Ltd., which focuses on integrated circuit design business and mainly focuses on chip design.

The target is Warwick Hayes.

Compared with Warwick Hayes, Inaosemi Semiconductor not only started late, but also has far less technological reserves than Warwick. Naturally, it has to work harder to catch up.

Zhang Shuo has also considered before, whether to give up self-research and choose to cooperate with Huawei instead?
Not only does it get twice the result with half the effort, but also saves introversion.

But if you think about it carefully, Maili mobile phone and Huawei mobile phone are taking different technical paths. The different technical parameters determine the different requirements for mobile phone chips, and there are great difficulties in cooperation.

This is why.

Almost all high-end mobile phone brands follow the path of self-design.

What's more, the germination activates the rice ear semiconductor, and the number of domestic chip R&D and design companies is still quite scarce. There is no excessive competition, but an extra layer of protection.

After all, you can't put all your eggs in one basket.

"Binhai City Rice Ear Semiconductor Co., Ltd. has completed the filing work, and the initial team directly moved over from the mobile phone chip design department of Maili Technology. The problems we are facing now are that the technical reserve is weak, and we only have relevant technologies bought from Nokia; It is because the talent pool is weak, and the team is less than [-] people."

Warwick Hays had more than 7000 employees at its peak.

The R&D and design team of 100 people is really not enough, not even a fraction of Hayes.

What's more, Zhang Shuo's expectation for Inaho Semiconductor is higher than that of Hayes, not only to strive to become the most competitive chip R&D and design company in the world, but also to form a separate team to develop EDA software.

The reason is also very simple.

EDA software is an essential tool for chip design, but this tool is in the hands of the beautiful country. Once the situation changes, it may be stuck in the neck.

How uncomfortable it is.

Of course, only relying on Inaho Semiconductor is definitely not enough. As mentioned earlier, the technology categories involved in the semiconductor industry are too complex, and even EDA software cannot be handled by one or two companies.

While Daoear Semiconductor is doing its own research, the Particle Fund will also accelerate its investment layout in related fields.

Strive to go hand in hand.

In the semiconductor industry, capital is indeed not omnipotent, but it is absolutely impossible without capital.

Zhang Shuo still doesn't believe it. He made the layout seven or eight years in advance, and invested hundreds of billions of additional funds in the semiconductor industry. After ten years, relying on the wisdom of the Chinese people, there will be no sound.

If you work hard for a long time, there will always be rewards for your efforts.

"The technology is weak, so we can only calm down and do research and development. There is no shortcut. As for the lack of talents, it can be resolved by the Human Resources Department." Zhang Shuo looked at Wu Sheyuan.

"Then let me introduce the spring recruitment work by the way."

Wu Sheyuan also came prepared, "In view of the development of new businesses such as Pangda Live and Tiantian Toutiao, as well as the group's layout in the semiconductor field, the human resources plan is to recruit [-] people in the spring on the basis of last year's autumn recruitment. Fresh graduates, in order to check for deficiencies and make up for omissions, and meet the business development needs of the group."

After all, the spring recruits are left over from the autumn recruits, and the quality of the personnel is slightly worse.

Last year, Germination had no choice but to recruit [-] new employees in one go during the spring recruitment. The results were not satisfactory, and the dismissal rate was very high.

Even if it is to check for gaps and make up for gaps this year, it will no longer recruit people on a large scale.

"In addition to spring recruiting, Human Capital is planning a spark operation recently, cooperating with major domestic and foreign headhunting companies to jointly find needed talents from all walks of life."

Wu Sheyuan was also furious.

I just won the President's Special Contribution Award last year, so naturally I can't lose the chain this year.

"Is there any arrangement for the personnel of Assistant 71 and Motu Xiuxiu?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"The dust has basically settled." Wu Sheyuan introduced: "A third of the research and development personnel of the Motu Xiuxiu team stayed, and collectively joined Panda Live to develop video beautification functions for Panda Live.

"About one-fifth of the members of the 71 assistant team stayed, some of them stayed in the operation department of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, a small part went to Qinghe Technology, and the rest joined Maili Technology."

"It seems that the stickiness of our employees is not high enough."

Knowing that nearly 71% of the employees of the [-] assistant team chose to join Qiandu, Zhang Shuo was a little disappointed.

"Human resources will strengthen value training." Wu Sheyuan was under great pressure.

"Ah."

Zhang Shuo didn't mean to criticize Wu Sheyuan.

One is that the current budding company is indeed not comparable to the old giant Qiandu; the other is that strictly speaking, the budding company took the lead in abandoning 71 assistants, so it is no wonder that they switched jobs.

It doesn't make sense morally either.

"According to this, there will be 7 taels and thousands of new employees joining Sprout in July, can the office area be arranged?" Zhang Shuo looked at Jiang Yue, the vice president in charge of administrative affairs.

"With the existing office conditions, it is definitely not possible."

Jiang Yue is having a headache for this matter. As soon as the new employees arrive, the total number of budding employees will double again.

No company can handle it.

"The preliminary plan is to appropriately delay the construction progress of the main tower of Houhai Germination Building, give priority to the construction of the auxiliary tower, and strive to complete and deliver the auxiliary tower before July."

Of the 10,000 taels thousand new employees, less than half will stay in Marina City.

After completing the training of new employees, the rest will be distributed to Yangcheng, Modu, Jingshi, Lin'an, Jiangxia, Shancheng, Rongcheng and other places.

The Green Orange Group alone will receive more than 3000 new employees.

In order to accommodate employees outside the headquarters, Sprout Real Estate has also launched a new round of rent-purchase plan for office areas. In principle, it plans to purchase a Grade A office building in Shanghai, Jiangxia, and Rongcheng.

Offices in the remaining second- and third-tier cities are still mainly leased.

The longer-term plan is to accelerate the construction of the Germination Industrial Park. According to the overall plan of the industrial park, after it is fully completed, it will accommodate more than 30,000 people working at the same time.

Definitely a world-class office hub.

"The office building purchase plans in Shanghai, Jiangxia, and Rongcheng should be launched as soon as possible. If necessary, Binhai City can also purchase another Grade A office building. There is only one principle, and the office conditions cannot be deteriorated."

Zhang Shuo didn't want to say that with the rapid increase in the number of employees of the Germination Group, the office environment would return to the crowded state of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment at the beginning.

What happiness does the employee have?

"it is good!"

Now that Germina has sufficient funds in his account, Jiang Yue did not refuse.

Rich and self-willed!
"The other thing is, after the establishment of the rice ear semiconductor, it is time for the wheat grain technology to be upgraded."

Zhang Shuo raised another topic, "My idea is to prepare to build the Maili Group based on Maili Technology, Maili Electronics and Rice Ear Semiconductor."

This will also be the second group subsidiary of the Germination Group.

Although Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is also a subsidiary of the group, but the level has only been raised, and the influence is not comparable.

A major feature of the group's subsidiaries is that they also have a wide range of business.

Like the previous Qingcheng Group, it involves various new and old businesses such as new retail, food delivery, shared bicycles, online ticketing, shared charging treasures, etc. Only group operations can hold it.

The same is true for the newly established Maili Group.

Although Maili Group has not been able to produce a finished mobile phone so far, the smartphone industry is extremely complicated. Even if Maili Group is only involved in a part of it, its business is very extensive.

After being promoted.

Maili Technology will focus on the R&D and design of hardware and software, Maili Electronics will focus on mobile phone manufacturing, and Daoear Semiconductor will focus on chip R&D and design.

At the headquarters level of Maili Group, one is to do a good job in functional guarantee, the other is to be responsible for the research and development of cutting-edge technologies, and the third is to be responsible for the incubation of new businesses, such as wearable devices, VR devices, and AR devices.

The future is not ruled out.

Maili Group will also follow Apple's example and get involved in notebook computers, tablet computers and other businesses.

Such a huge system can only be supported by the group structure.

Upgrading a first-tier subsidiary to a group subsidiary, in addition to management needs, has two major advantages. One is to facilitate external financing, and the other is to facilitate separate financing or listing of its second-tier subsidiaries.

For example, for Maili Electronics, the possibility of independent listing will not be ruled out in the future.

After being promoted, Gu Mingzhang will still serve as the vice president of Germination Group and the president of Maili Group, because it is a part-time job, and there will be no change in rank.

There will be no major changes in the personnel of Maili Group.

At the end of the morning meeting, Wang Yan, Director of the Technology Center, raised a question: "Since the registration of CN domain names in China has been open for registration in March 2003, more and more attention has been paid to it. I suggest that the group take precautions and register all the CN domain names of Mengya and all its sub-brands. .If there is a preemptive registration, it should also be acquired from the registrant to avoid adverse effects on brand recognition in the future."

Now the mainstream is the COM international domain name, and the CN domain name has very limited influence.

However, Zhang Shuo remembered that it was not until 2022 that well-known companies such as Xiaomi and OV gradually paid attention to CN domain names, and began to display CN domain names in overseas markets openly to reflect cultural confidence.

Sadly.

After the CN domain name of ICQ under Tenda was squatted, it has not been recovered.

"can!"

Zhang Shuo immediately agreed to Wang Yan's proposal, and he didn't want to follow in Tengda's footsteps.

Anyway, it doesn't cost a lot of money.

Moreover, Germination Group, as a company born and bred in China, should take the initiative to use the CN domain name, and show its pedigree to overseas markets without any shyness.

Unlike some companies, which seem to be domestically produced, they insist on flaunting internationalization.

.........

After the morning meeting, Zhang Shuo called Wu Sheyuan to the office alone, and asked with a smile, "How many scientists are currently selected for the Germination [-] Talents Program?"

"58 domestic and 35 overseas."

"That is to say, the quota for the Hundred Talents Program is almost full?"

"Yes."

Wu Sheyuan had a smile on her face.

This is the most fruitful result of human resources, especially the recruitment of overseas scientists. With the cooperation of Sunshine Holdings, it went very smoothly.

"Since the previously set goal is about to be achieved, and Germinal's thirst for scientists continues, let's take advantage of the trend and upgrade the Hundred Talents Program to the Thousand Talents Program, and the remuneration will remain the same."

Zhang Shuo is also ambitious.

If you want to make a difference in the semiconductor industry, scientists are even more essential.

The upgrading of the Hundred Talents Program to the Thousand Talents Program is not a simple name change, playing with words, but requires the Germinal Group to provide real funds to support it.

Based on the calculation of the tens of millions of annual salary of each scientist, the annual salary expenditure of [-] scientists alone is one billion, and once the Thousand Talents Plan is implemented, it will be an expenditure of tens of billions.

Looking at the world, there are not many big companies that can withstand it.

But in Zhang Shuo's view, it is a basic requirement to give top scientists a salary that matches them. Compared with those blind entertainment stars, an annual salary of tens of millions is really nothing.

"it is good!"

Wu Sheyuan is both exhilarating and stressful.

Recruiting a hundred outstanding scientists has exhausted the means, and now it is an extremely difficult task to increase the KPI to a thousand outstanding scientists.

The critical time is still tight.

Based on Wu Sheyuan's judgment on the R&D expansion of Germinal Technology, the time left for the Thousand Talents Program is at most three or four years, and will definitely not exceed five years.

Possibly even shorter.

This also means that the HR team he leads needs to work harder.

"By the way, you take time to go to Xiangjiang, get in touch with this person, and see if you can invite him and his team to join the Wotu Research Institute and work together on the development of artificial intelligence."

Zhang Shuo smiled and handed Wu Sheyuan a business card.

Artificial intelligence is a very broad concept, but it doesn't mean that just setting up an artificial intelligence laboratory in the Fertile Research Institute can solve the problem.

This is far from enough!

"Professor Tang Ou, I have heard of this person. It is said that he founded a multimedia laboratory at Xiangjiang University, focusing on the research and development of artificial intelligence." Wu Sheyuan is also well-informed.

"it's him!"

Zhang Shuo nodded with a smile. He got Professor Tang Ou's business card from Professor Wu.

And this now little-known multimedia laboratory, the original time and space gave birth to Entropy Soup Technology, the largest unicorn enterprise in the field of artificial intelligence.

if you can.

Of course, Zhang Shuo hopes to take this laboratory under his command to strengthen the technological reserves that are sprouting in artificial intelligence.

The biggest achievement of the laboratory is that it took a full 18 years to finally increase the accuracy of face recognition to 2014% in March 3, surpassing the recognition ability of human eyes (99.55%) for the first time.

This opened the era of the entire face recognition industry technology landing.

From this example, we can also see how technology research and development needs to endure loneliness. The breakthrough of face recognition technology only takes 20 years.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why Zhang Shuo is so "quick for quick success" in the layout of technology research and development.

There is really no rush.

"Okay, I'll collect some information first, and then I'll visit Professor Tang Ou." Of course, Wu Sheyuan must pay special attention to the tasks assigned by the big boss himself.

.........

The next day is Valentine's Day.

Zhang Shuo was usually not interested in these foreign things, but he couldn't hold back the excitement of the men and women in the school, girls holding flowers could be seen everywhere.

It's a bit old-fashioned to say the least.

Zhang Shuo remembers that the original time and space arrived in 2022, and sending flowers is no longer new. Young couples began to return to the basics, taking advantage of the popularity of traditional culture, hand-copying Lin Fu, and making peach wood hairpins by themselves.

I don't know how many are sincere, but hand pain is certain anyway.

The post-[-]s are worthy of being the generation of kings of juan, who even spread dog food and started to involuntarily, who can they ask for reasoning?
The only thing that remains unchanged is the sadness of a single dog...

Of course, Zhang Shuo also had his own sorrows. First, he was dragged by Tang Yu to celebrate Valentine’s Day for the four single beauties in the dormitory. In the evening, he had a meal at the food stall.

He had every reason to suspect that this girl Tang Yu was just doing it for food and drink.

Go back to Siri Building.

He had to accept the Valentine's Day meal carefully prepared by Chen Lu, and he threw up immediately.

Zhang Shuo doesn't wait to see Valentine's Day, but Chen Lu regards himself as a lover, so he pays special attention to Valentine's Day. Every year, he makes careful preparations and always plays some new tricks.

Not to mention, it's quite exciting.
.........

After working hard all night, Zhang Shuo was late for work the next day.

Fortunately, he is the big boss, not to mention arriving at the company at 10:[-] in the morning, even if he arrives at the company in time for lunch, no one would dare to say no.

Especially after the establishment of the rotating president system, Zhang Shuo's working hours are more flexible.

It can be seen that it is a very wise move.

To Zhang Shuo's surprise, he welcomed a special guest today—Wang Xin, the moldy group.

"Boss Wang is looking for me, what's the matter?"

Zhang Shuo and Wang Xin are really not familiar with each other. Of course, the original time and space are very familiar. Although the Germination Group and the Meituan have some business overlaps in this life, the two have never even met each other.

Since you are not familiar with it, there is no need to be courteous.

Choose straight to the point!

And with Zhang Shuo's current status, there is no need to pretend to be enthusiastic about anyone, and he speaks very straightforwardly.

"Is it possible for Germination to invest in the mold group?"

Wang Xin also got straight to the point, and stated the purpose of meeting Zhang Shuo. Recently, he was really cornered. If there is no new capital injection, Meituan will face the risk of bankruptcy.

In desperation, he finally asked Zhang Shuo.

In Wang Xin's view, although the competition pattern of the three giants in the food delivery industry has taken shape, Qingcheng Group has always been detached from the outside, and it should not be uninterested in Meituan.

Once Qingcheng Group joins forces with Mold Group, it will become a powerful player in the food delivery industry in one fell swoop.

"Mr. Wang is afraid that he has misunderstood. Qingcheng Group has never had great ambitions in the food delivery business, and has always pursued the market segment of lunch for office workers and white-collar workers. So, I'm sorry, Mengya has no intention of investing in Meituan."

Zhang Shuo flatly refused.

What a joke, he managed to bring down the mold group with great difficulty, so how could he lend a helping hand.

Don't you slap yourself in the face?
"so……"

Wang Xin was really disappointed, his eyes became darker, and then he made up his mind, raised his head and asked, "If Meituan is willing to accept a wholly-owned acquisition, is Qingcheng Group interested?"

"A wholly-owned acquisition?"

Now it's Zhang Shuo's turn to be surprised. Wasn't it because of Wang Xin's insistence on independence that Ari and Meituan had a stalemate?Now that he is willing to be fully acquired, it is really eye-opening.

It also proves from the side that once a person is driven to a dead end, it doesn't matter to stick to principles.

The most important thing is to survive!

"I'm curious, since Mr. Wang is willing to accept the acquisition of Meituan by Qingcheng Group, why didn't he go to Ari? Ari should be more interested than Mengya."

Zhang Shuo has not forgotten that Ari has not sold his shares in Meituan so far.

It is also one of the shareholders of the mold group.

Ari rejects the mold group only because the mold group is unwilling to integrate into the Ahri system. If the mold group is willing to be fully acquired, then Ari must have nothing to say.

Not just Ahri.

It is estimated that Tengda and Qiandu will also be interested in Meituan.

The Big Three themselves have been at a stalemate in the food delivery track. At this moment, whichever one can acquire the mold group may break the existing fragile balance in one round.

Zhang Shuo even got the news a long time ago that Tengda has never given up contact with Meituan in private.

But who would have thought.

Wang Xin actually abandoned the big three and took the initiative to find Zhang Shuo.

"I observe, no, to be precise, I have studied Qingcheng Group for a long time. In the field of food delivery, no, more precisely, it is in the field of local life services. I am more optimistic about the future of Qingcheng Group."

Wang Xin is also open and honest.

After the Big Three left the field one after another, he has accepted the reality that the mold group cannot survive alone.

But even if he wants to sell himself, Wang Xin hopes to find the right buyer. After selling the mold group, he can take advantage of the opportunity to join the Qingcheng Group and continue to stay on the battlefield with a new identity.

"is it?"

Zhang Shuo really believed it.

Wang Xin from the original time and space is able to build the mold group, and his ability is undoubtedly outstanding, and his understanding of local life services is also top-notch in China.

Being able to select Qingcheng Group is also a recognition of Zhang Shuo.

"But if Germina acquires Meituan, Ahli will be an obstacle that cannot be overcome, and Scarlet Capital, you should know that Scarlet Capital is Germination's deadly enemy, right?" Zhang Shuo was still puzzled.

Even if Germination intends to acquire the mold, there are many obstacles. Not only is Scarlet Capital not happy, but it is easy to hate Ari.

"In Meituan, my team and I still have a controlling stake. Whether it's Ahri or Scarlet Capital, they can vote against it, but in the end they still have to respect my decision." Wang Xin explained.

This is also his last bargaining chip.
