Chapter 301 Du Qingqing Runs Away, Qingcheng Personnel Earthquake!
"That's it."

Faced with the sincerity shown by Wang Xin, Zhang Shuo was a little bit moved to be honest, "I can know, if, I mean, if Germination is willing to buy Meituan, do you have any additional requirements?"

Wang Xin must have asked for such cooperation.

"I hope to be able to lead my team to join the Green Orange Group. I need to be the executive vice president of the Green Orange Group. It would be even better if I were the president." Wang Xin was also not polite at all.

Talented people are confident.

"I see. In this way, Germination needs to discuss whether to acquire the mold group." Even so, Zhang Shuo did not give Wang Xin an accurate answer.

Although the mold group has fallen, it is not something that can be won with a few hundred million.

Funds should be used wisely!
"Then I'll wait for your reply in Binhai City!"

Wang Xin showed extraordinary persistence, the kind that would not give up until the goal was achieved.

"what ever!"

.........

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Shuo held an online video conference through Feixun Conference.

Lu Kai, Pei Weiping, and Du Qingqing attended the meeting.

"Everyone express their opinions first."

After Zhang Shuo introduced the basic situation, he was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but first asked for everyone's opinions.

He hasn't made up his mind yet.

"Purely from the perspective of business complementarity, the acquisition of Meituan is indeed a great reinforcement to Qingcheng Group, but the funds of Qingcheng Group have already been used for the plan, and there is no additional funds to support this acquisition."

Pei Weiping was the first to speak.

After the A round of financing, if Qingcheng Group is short of money, it will not be able to transfer it directly from Germination.

It is impossible for Mengya to be taken advantage of by this person.

"If you want to buy, it can only be a capital increase." Pei Weiping added.

The so-called capital increase refers to the behavior of the company to increase the registered capital according to law in order to expand the scale of operation, broaden the business, and improve the company's credit rating.

For example, if the capital increase is 2 billion, then all shareholders of Qingcheng Group need to subscribe according to their shareholding ratio. Germination, as the major shareholder of Qingcheng, needs to subscribe 1.6%, which is [-] billion.

It's also quite a challenge.

"It's not necessarily necessary to increase the capital, it can be merged." Lu Kai has a different opinion.

"How to merge?"

"It is to take Qingcheng Group as the main body, absorb the mold group, and determine the share exchange ratio according to the valuation of both parties. After the A round of financing, the valuation of the Qingcheng group has exceeded 200 billion. The valuation of the mold group is only 20 billion. The two companies can exchange shares at a ratio of 1:10. It is equivalent to giving out 10% of the shares of Qingcheng Group in exchange for 100% of the shares of Meituan." Lu Kai is indeed a master of capital operations.

"That's a good idea." Zhang Shuo nodded.

It is equivalent to saying that the Green Orange Group swallowed the mold without spending a penny.

Immediately it felt wrong again.

"The discussion now is not how to buy, but whether to buy or not?"

how to feel.

On the matter of acquiring the mold group, did they reach a consensus right away?
"If you can absorb mold without using cash, I support it."

Pei Weiping expressed his opinion.

"The user information and merchant information that the group has accumulated since the group buying, as well as the operating experience in the local life service field, are a reinforcement for Qingcheng Group." Du Qingqing also agrees.

Of course, Lu Kai had no objection. "Let me add one more point. The 1:10 share swap I mentioned just now is just a metaphor. The specific ratio can only be determined after evaluation by the Investment and Acquisition Department."

According to the valuations of both parties, the 1:10 Green Orange Group feels that it has lost money.

Although the merger does not need to squeeze the cash of the Green Orange Group, if the Green Orange Group is willing, it can also easily raise 3 billion acquisition funds by launching the B round of financing.

There is actually no essential difference between the two.

The only difference is that the B round of financing is the introduction of new investors, and the merger and exchange of shares is tantamount to introducing the former shareholders of Meituan as "new investors" to Qingcheng Group.

Take a chestnut.

Ari holds 18.78% of the shares of Meituan, so after the 1:10 share swap, Ari will turn to hold 1.878% of the shares of Qingcheng Group and become one of the minority shareholders of Qingcheng Group.

Including Scarlet Capital, the deadly rival, will also become a minority shareholder of Green Orange Group, holding 1.228% of the shares.

And from the perspective of Wang Xin's management team, their entire team still holds 69% of the shares of Mild Group, so naturally they hope to be merged by Qingcheng Group instead of being acquired by cash.

In that way, Wang Xin's team will hold 6.9% of the Qingcheng Group's shares and become the second largest shareholder of the Qingcheng Group in one fell swoop, ensuring that they can gain a firm foothold in the Qingcheng Group instead of being excluded.

This is also the bottom line of Wang Xin's team.

"Since everyone agrees to acquire Mold Group through merger, then the next question, Wang Xin proposed to be the executive vice president, or even the president of Qingcheng Group, how should I reply?" Zhang Shuo asked again.

"Surely the president can't do it?"

Seeing that the two parties involved, Pei Weiping and Du Qingqing, were reluctant to express their views, Lu Kai stood up decisively, "As for the executive vice president, that also conflicts with Mr. Du's position. I suggest that at most one vice president position can only be given."

Du Qingqing is the senior vice president of Green Orange Group. The original arrangement was that after Zhang Shuo stepped down as the chairman of Green Orange Group and Pei Weiping took over, Du Qingqing would take over as the president.

Now, breaking into such a variable as Wang Xin suddenly disrupted the personnel arrangement of Qingcheng Group.

"How about I resign, and President Pei will be the chairman of the Green Orange Group, President Du will be the president of the Green Orange Group, and Wang Xin will be the executive vice president?" Zhang Shuo gave a solution.

"I don't feel right."

Lu Kai objected again, "After Qingcheng Group integrated the mildew group, the internal factions have become more complicated, and you need Mr. Zhang to sit in charge. If you step down as the chairman of Qingcheng Group at this time, I am afraid that there will be more troubles."

There is another point that Lu Kai didn't say clearly.

That is, once Zhang Shuo resigns as the chairman of the Green Orange Group, there is a possibility that the Green Orange Group will break away from Germinal's control. Although this possibility is very small, we have to guard against it.

Even if it is said that Zhang Shuo resigned, it should be a senior executive of the Germination Group who concurrently assumes the position of chairman of the Green Orange Group, not Pei Weiping.

The most suitable position for Pei Weiping is the current position of president, unless he is promoted to the Germination Group.

"Qingcheng Group cannot do without Mr. Zhang."

Pei Weiping also followed up and stated that this was not a high-spirited, but after carefully weighing the pros and cons, it was indeed difficult for him to control the situation by himself, and he needed Zhang Shuo to sit in charge.

"I agree with Wang Xin as the executive vice president of Qingcheng Group."

Unexpectedly, Du Qingqing, the focal figure, stood up on his own initiative and said that he would let Xian.

"Are you sure? There is no joke in the workplace."

Zhang Shuo's eyes were fixed.

"Definitely." Du Qingqing said with a smile in his clear eyes, "I originally planned to go to Huipu Business School for further study this year. It just so happens that Wang Xin is coming, so it's easy."

"Come to my office tomorrow."

Zhang Shuo neither agreed nor refused, and was going to have a good talk with Du Qingqing face to face.

See if there is something hidden inside.

The video conference ended in a slightly awkward atmosphere.

.........

The next day is Thursday.

Zhang Shuo was going to school, but in order to wait for Du Qingqing, he asked the teacher for leave.

Fortunately, there will be fewer classes in the next semester.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Du Qingqing appeared in Zhang Shuo's office.

Compared with more than a year ago, the proprietress of Qingcheng Xiaozhu, who was still a little green, has been in the position of senior executives all year round. Under the influence of the general environment, Du Qingqing looks more capable, not to mention, with her own aura.

The kind that walks with the wind.

On the outside, with the blessing of good looks, he is already a well-known professional manager.

It's just that Du Qingqing, like Zhang Shuo, acts introverted, doesn't like publicity, and never makes a big splash in front of media reporters, and makes some shocking remarks from time to time.

He rarely even gives interviews to the media.

It can be seen that in some respects, Du Qingqing is deliberately learning from Zhang Shuo.

"Why do you suddenly want to study at Huipu Business School?"

With Du Qingqing, of course Zhang Shuo didn't need to go around in circles and say what he had to say.

Although since the headquarters of Qingcheng Group moved to Yangcheng, the opportunities for the two to meet in reality have been greatly reduced, but Zhang Shuo still receives Du Qingqing's artistic photos from Chen Xiaowan from time to time.

He was skeptical.

Du Qingqing already knew that Chen Xiaowan was a traitor.

"It wasn't sudden, it was planned before, and Mr. Pei knew about it." Facing Zhang Shuo again, Du Qingqing no longer had any pressure and could deal with it calmly.

"What's the reason?"

Zhang Shuo really didn't know about this, so he was negligent.

"Since the financing of Qingcheng Group, the business system has become more and more complicated, and the things that need to be dealt with have become more and more complicated. I am not afraid of your jokes. Bring about heavy losses." There was a trace of exhaustion in Du Qingqing's voice.

"So you want to study and recharge?"

"Yes." Du Qingqing nodded, "I don't have your innate talent. I belong to the stupid type of person. I can't improve myself only in work practice, and I need to make up the theory lesson."

This does not mean that Du Qingqing has no ambitions.

The fact is just the opposite. It is precisely because she wants to go further that she plans to recharge halfway in time and lay a solid foundation for climbing higher in the future before showing timidity and making mistakes.

Go enjoy the beautiful scenery on the upper level.

"I didn't expect that."

After hearing Du Qingqing's explanation, Zhang Shuo's anger disappeared, but he took a high look at Du Qingqing.

It is indeed the person he chose in the first place.

"You want to strive for progress, of course I won't stop it, but why did you choose this time?" Just because he valued Du Qingqing, Zhang Shuo had to explain clearly and analyze the stakes for Du Qingqing.

"Wang Xin is not fighting alone. Once the mold group is merged into the Qingcheng Group, the entire founding team of the mold group will join the Qingcheng Group. To be more straightforward, Wang Xin will never be alone as the executive vice president of the Qingcheng Group. Dou, I believe that he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Green Orange Group soon and arrange all his people properly."

"Have you ever thought about it? It is very likely that when you come back from further studies, Qingcheng will no longer have your place."

This is a very real thing.

The workplace is never one, especially when it comes to competition among executives.

"That's better than being forced out due to lack of ability in the future." Like Zhang Shuo, Du Qingqing is actually a very dignified person at heart, and he is also very unwilling to admit defeat.

Once something is decided, even nine cows can't pull it back.

"Since you have decided to bear the consequences, then I will not say anything. I will greet Director Wu at Huipu Business School. After all, he came from there and is familiar with the situation!"

Of course Zhang Shuo also hoped that Du Qingqing could really learn something in the business school.

"Thank you!"

Du Qingqing blinked her eyes, but didn't say much after all.

"When you are studying, you have time to learn more about e-commerce."

Zhang Shuo couldn't bear it after all.

Du Qingqing can be said to be the only executive trained from scratch within the Germination Department, but he still inevitably hit the career ceiling.

Big brother Wang Yan is also counted, but after all, he is taking the technical route.

It's not the same as Du Qingqing's management line.

Regarding such an internal direct line, whether it is from the perspective of the company or from a personal perspective, it is impossible for Zhang Shuo to let Du Qingqing go. Instead, he is more willing to give her more opportunities and platforms for experience.

I hope that one day Du Qingqing can really grow up completely and be on her own.

"E-commerce?" Du Qingqing was a little confused, and then thought of something, "The group will enter the e-commerce industry in the future? But e-commerce is already a highly competitive industry, is there still a chance for us?"

"Look at this."

Zhang Shuo didn't explain much, he got up and showed Du Qingqing the plan of Pin Xixi.

Du Qingqing looked at it seriously.

Not for anything else, just because this planning plan comes from Zhang Shuo's hands, then it must be famous.

"Pinxixi has been handed over to the technology center for incubation. When you come back from further studies, it will be about to go online. If you want, I can hand it over to you." Zhang Shuo said his plan.

Since Qingcheng Group may not have Du Qingqing's position in the future, the choice left to Du Qingqing is either to be transferred to the group headquarters, or to develop new business for the group.

It is difficult to have a third option.

On the side of the group headquarters, the senior management was relatively complete. For a while, Zhang Shuo really couldn't find a position that was more suitable for Du Qingqing.

Only then did he settle for the next best thing and thought of the Pinxixi project.

Du Qingqing started out as a new retailer, and has experience in operating the Qingcheng APP, so it fits well with Xixi's new e-commerce business.

As for whether it can be done, it depends on Du Qingqing's ability.

"I'll take it seriously."

Du Qingqing felt warm in her heart, Zhang Shuo took extra care of her after all.

If it were other senior executives of the group who dared to continue their studies halfway so willfully, it would be nice to be able to keep their original positions, let alone have the opportunity to open up new businesses.

"Thank you!"

Before leaving, Du Qingqing thanked her again.

"You're being polite, aren't you?" Zhang Shuo waved his hands with a smile, and deliberately said with a smile: "Since you choose to study, you should study hard. If you fail to pass the course, I will go to bigu."

"..."

Du Qingqing gave Zhang Shuo a hygienic blow, like a peacock, and left arrogantly.

.........

Du Qingqing's problem was solved here. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Shuo took the initiative to meet with Wang Xin again.

Lu Kai was also present.

"The two requests you made yesterday, that is, the merger of the mold group into the Qingcheng Group, and the position of executive vice president of the Qingcheng Group, I can agree to both in principle."

As soon as they met, Zhang Shuo gave Wang Xin a reassurance.

"Thank you!"

Wang Xin suppressed his excitement and shook hands with Zhang Shuo.

"Mr. Lu will discuss the details of the cooperation with you. I have another class in the afternoon." After setting the framework for the cooperation, Zhang Shuo naturally does not need to intervene in the rest of the negotiations.

Lu Kai can handle it.

"Huh? Anthracene, good, good."

Hearing about the class, Wang Xin didn't realize it all at once, and then realized that Zhang Shuo was still studying in graduate school, and couldn't help feeling an extremely weird feeling in his heart, but he could only force it down.

.........

Friday, April 2.

The negotiation between Lu Kai and Wang Xin is going on in private.

At the same time, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment "according to the usual practice", launched two new games at the same time-"Nuan Nuan Around the World" and "Chain Wars".

In January, because it spanned the Spring Festival holiday, it was rare for Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment to have no new games online.

This time, after 71 Assistant was sold to Qiandu, it was the "first time" that Jade Bird Interactive released a new mobile game through external channels, which naturally attracted extra attention from inside and outside the industry.

"Nuan Nuan Around the World" is the second part of the Nuan Nuan series.

Players will play the cute girl named "Nuannuan", encounter various interesting emergencies in the process of traveling around the world, and use unique costumes to meet mission challenges one after another.

"Nuan Nuan's Dress Up Story", which was launched in October last year, was very popular with female players, and the recharge turnover also reached a new high, becoming a dark horse in Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.

No one inside Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment expected to make such money.

In view of this, there are naturally extra expectations for "Around the World".

"Chain Wars" is a high-quality RPG card mobile game that integrates tower defense, action, and adventure. Driven by "My Name is MT" and "The Drunk Man", card mobile games have become a popular category. .

Very popular with players.

The original time and space of "Chain Wars" was created by SEGA, a famous game manufacturer in Japan, and was released in July 2013.

Needless to say, this will be another Japanese-style card mobile game aimed at the Japanese market, just like the previous "Puzzle and Dragons".

Of course, there are also some domestic audiences.

Both new games are absolutely full of sincerity, both in terms of creativity and production standards.

but!

For players who have become accustomed to Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment leading the new trend of mobile games, these two new works, one is a "sequel" and the other is Dongying style, it is hard to say how amazing they are.

There is bound to be a little disappointment.

"It seems that the blue bird is not omnipotent."

"Well, it's a bit old-fashioned."

"I can understand it, how can it be so easy to be original? It also needs to be original in gameplay and category!"

"That's right, compared to Tengda, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is already very conscientious!"

"It's true to say that, but I still look forward to more amazing works from Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment."

With the explosion of smartphones, the mobile game industry has also exploded. Although Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is still thriving, the entire market has obviously become more lively.

The number of newly launched works every month has also doubled, and players have more choices to choose from.

Of course, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment cannot satisfy everyone.

"It's good to take a break properly, otherwise it will be troublesome if you are praised too high."

Zhang Shuo said this to Cao Yanhua and Liu Xiaohui who were sitting across from him. Taking advantage of the release of the new game, he happened to chat about Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment's mobile game production plan for this year.

The last time he "submitted" a large number of game plans was at the end of June last year.

At that time, eight game plans were handed over to Cao Yanhua in one breath, which supported the performance of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment in the second half of 2011. "Nuan Nuan Around the World" and "Chain Wars" are already the last two in stock.

Right now, among the three major mobile game studio groups of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, only one new mobile game is still in production, "Forget Immortal", and the rest are developing follow-up versions of old mobile games.

It's really a bit of a "bad money".

It's no wonder that Cao Yanhua wanted to pull Liu Xiaohui, and brazenly came to Zhang Shuo to "purchase".

Zhang Shuo actually has a stock in his hand, and there are quite a lot. Whenever he has nothing to do, he will write and write game plans. Unknowingly, he has accumulated a deep family background.

There are three main reasons why it was not handed over to Cao Yanhua years ago.

One is that we don’t want to put too much pressure on friends such as Tenda and Wangji.

If Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment maintains the high-production momentum of last year and becomes the dominator of the mobile game industry, who knows that friends like Tengda will do something outrageous behind the scenes if they are pushed into a hurry.

It's still good to keep a steady hand.

After the turmoil of the richest man, Zhang Shuo knew too well the truth of shooting the first bird.

Second, I don’t want to give netizens too high expectations.

Just like what Zhang Shuo said just now, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment can be a gold-lettered signboard, but it should not be over-mythologized by players. Once it is promoted to the throne, expectations will be raised and full, and the follow-up will actually be very troublesome.

It is impossible for Zhang Shuo to maintain a stable output all the time, and he will come up with hot money from time to time.

In the final analysis, the ultimate goal of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is not for some ideal of the game industry, to become the benchmark of the game industry, and the object of worship of all players.

Even if it is, that is just a side effect.

The meaning of the existence of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is to keep collecting money and continue to transfuse blood for the Germination Group. Even if it is a not-so-excellent work, as long as there is enough krypton gold, Zhang Shuo will also "learn from it".

Think a little further.

Ten years later, when Zhang Shuo has nothing to copy, what will Jade Bird Huyu do at that time?
The third is that we don't want Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment to be eager for quick success.

Smartphones are still in a high-explosion period, and the dividends of the mobile game industry are still being released at a high speed. It is of course important to develop new mobile games, but it is also important to maintain and operate old mobile games.

Zhang Shuo does not want to say that the game studio under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment spends most of its energy on developing new mobile games, while neglecting to update and iterate versions of old mobile games, so that it cannot keep up with the rhythm.

That would be a bit of a loss.

The number of phenomenal mobile games, even explosive mobile games, is limited after all, but the life cycle of games can be very long, ranging from three to five years to ten years.

Some mobile games can also develop sequels.

What's the point of frantically developing new mobile games if you can't squeeze the most value out of those old mobile games?

It's just superficial scenery, drinking poison to quench thirst.

Based on the above considerations, and the fact that the current mobile game market is still very limited, and the potential of old mobile games is still being released, Zhang Shuo deliberately slowed down the development progress of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment's new mobile game.

Intentionally chilled for several months.

"Where is the development progress of the new version of Dota 2?" Zhang Shuo clearly knew the intentions of Cao and Liu, but he deliberately ignored the development plan of the new mobile game, but cared about the development progress of Dota 2 .

This is also the highlight of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment this year.

Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment can shine in the field of end games, but we can only hope that Dota 2 can be reborn from the ashes.
