Chapter 316 The Internet Conference, the cuteness is online again!

Wednesday, April 5.

Zhang Shuo and his entourage went to the capital to participate in the annual Internet conference. In addition to the rotating president Lu Kai, the administrative secretary Dai Yutong, and two senior executives Zhao Xiaohu and Du Ruiwen, they accompanied him.

Zhao and Du will also be invited to give speeches at special conferences, or attend related symposiums.

It can be seen that Germination has improved its status in China's Internet industry.

In addition, Pei Weiping and Wang Xin, two backbones of the Green Orange Group, will also depart from Yangcheng to the capital.

The lineup is extremely strong.

When he arrived in the capital, Zhang Shuo did not gather all the executives together, but was free to move around, he could have business entertainment, and he could also have dinner with his friends in the capital.

In Internet conferences, what is said on stage is actually the same. They are either singing high-profile, or talking in general terms, and some even brag without drafting.

If you believe it, you lose!

On the contrary, under the table, taking advantage of the opportunity of participating in the conference, entrepreneurs, investors, brokers, and media people from all walks of life gathered together, which is a rare business networking occasion.

Therefore, before and after the conference, as long as they wanted to, they basically continued to socialize every day.

A lot of information, even a lot of bilateral and multilateral cooperation, was finalized in this game of wine, which can be regarded as a Chinese characteristic.

Can't say good, can't say bad.

Accompanied by Lu Kai, Zhang Shuo hosted a banquet for Lu Qi in the evening.

"Hello there!"

Lu Qi is very thin and gentle, without the arrogance of being an executive of a multinational giant, or the disguise of an elite.

It looks very simple.

But such a person is a 100% workaholic. I heard that he insists on getting up at three or four in the morning every day, the kind who basically manages the company and the hotel.

This reminded Zhang Shuo of Lu Qi's senior brother, who also held the position of global vice president in Weiruan, and was once hailed as a mentor among the Chinese youth group.

In the end, the human design collapsed and the car overturned. No wonder the face is full of hypocrisy.

"Join Germination!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Shuo solemnly extended the invitation.

"This one……"

Lu Qi didn't expect Zhang Shuo to be so straightforward, so he hesitated a little, and said frankly, "I'm really optimistic about Germination, but I'm not sure whether this is a suitable choice."

After all, he is doing very well in Weiruan now.

"I have two predictions about you, which can help you make a choice." Zhang Shuo was not discouraged.

"I'm all ears."

Looking at the energetic young entrepreneur opposite, Lu Qi didn't feel uncomfortable.

There are many outstanding people like Zhang Shuo in Silicon Valley.

"First, unless you change your nationality, in Weiruan, no matter if you work for another five years or ten years, no matter how hard you work, the executive vice president is your career ceiling, which cannot be broken."

Compared with the Chinese, the Tianzhu people are obviously more trusted by the capital of the beautiful country.

"Isn't this too absolute?"

Lu Qi can't say right or wrong.

"That's because you are in the middle of the game, and you still have some illusions about Weiruan, which is understandable. But from my point of view, with the rise of China, multinational companies headed by Weiruan will only become more and more interested in Chinese people. Do not trust."

Zhang Shuo was categorical.

"I never thought about that."

After all, Lu Qi is just a high-level migrant worker, and doesn't care much about international relations.

But I have to admit it.

Zhang Shuo's point of view is very strategic, and it also represents a certain possibility in the future.

"On the contrary, as long as you join Germination, although the rotating president may also be a career ceiling, what I can guarantee is that you can work in Germination until you retire freely."

Those who are engaged in the Internet industry rarely say that they will retire after 60 years old.

Basically leave early.

That's why Zhang Shuo is talking about free retirement. As long as Lu Qi is willing, he can retire with the title of senior vice president or honorary director at a suitable time when he feels that his energy is low.

This is the treatment that many professional managers dream of.

"Can I know, in Bud, I need to be responsible for that part of the business?" Lu Qi actually didn't care that much about honors.

All he cares about is being able to work.

"As the rotating president of Germination Group, you will be fully responsible for the group's Internet-related businesses, in charge of Qinghe Technology, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, and Qingyun Data, and assist me in managing Qingcheng Group and Wotu Research Institute. In addition, Maili Group, You can ask about Internet-related businesses such as Mango Auto."

Zhang Shuo is also not suspicious of employing people, but not suspicious people.

"Ting!!!"

This time, even Lu Kai on the side was shocked.

According to what Zhang Shuo said, as soon as Lu Qi entered the Germination Group, he would be the rotating president with the largest number of businesses in charge, and even the most important one.

Apart from not being able to intervene in administration, investment, finance and other businesses, he is no different from the president.

"Okay, I promise to join Germination!"

Lu Qi wasn't shocked. When he came into contact with Wu Sheyuan, he had already understood the structure of Germination.

I know the weight of this commitment.

With such trust from Zhang Shuo, Lu Qi no longer has any doubts in his heart.

Just like what Zhang Shuo said, staying in WeiRuan is just superficial. In fact, the upper limit has been locked long ago, and it is destined not to win the absolute trust of WeiRuan's board of directors.

Quite the opposite.

Only in the bud can he develop his talent 100%.

Why hesitate?
After receiving Zhang Shuo's personal promise, the next thing Lu Qi needs to do is to resign from the board of directors of Weiruan. After completing the resignation process, he can report to Germination.

"welcome!"

After finalizing Lu Qi, Zhang Shuo was also very excited. The purpose of coming to the capital this time was half achieved.

Next.

The three of them talked happily again around the topic of Internet development.

Lu Qi really understands technology, especially in the search field. During his time at WeiRuan, he led the team to develop Bing Search. Although it cannot challenge Google, it is still a trump card.

Compared with Qiandu, it is estimated that it is also comparable.

Although Lu Kai doesn't know much about technology, as an investment banker, he knows a lot about all walks of life and has his own unique insights into the development of the Internet.

Not to mention Zhang Shuo.

If it is said that when he was first reborn, he could only take advantage of the rebirth to make some shocking remarks and make some unfounded predictions, such as the university tour last year.

Then a year passed.

Sitting in the position of Germination CEO, the industry information and intelligence I have come into contact with have already surpassed most practitioners, and I am also constantly learning and improving.

The understanding of the entire industry is no less than that of some technical masters.

Coupled with a broad vision and strategizing, he already has the style of a general, who can give pointers to the development trend of the Internet, and some opinions and propositions are also at his fingertips.

Hearing Lu Qi's admiration, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder Germination was able to achieve unprecedented success, like a dragon, born in China.

Zhang Shuo is indeed an indispensable soul of Germination, the helmsman and navigator of Germination's giant ship.

Looking forward to the next appointment.

The three of them chatted until [-]:[-] in the middle of the night, but they still had something to say, so they had no choice but to disperse.

I have something to do tomorrow.

.........

the next day.

Zhang Shuo attended the opening ceremony of the Internet Conference.

Unlike last year's rookie roles, Zhang Shuo immediately became the focus of the audience when he entered the venue surrounded by budding executives such as Lu Kai, Pei Weiping, Zhao Xiaohu, Du Ruiwen, and Wang Xin.

From time to time, someone would take the initiative to say hello, exchange business cards, and get treatment no less than that of the Big Three.

Even the president of Scarlet Capital nodded his head when he saw Zhang Shuo.

The meaning of goodwill is very strong.

From the perspective of Scarlet Capital, Tan Chairen, who had a grudge with Zhang Shuo, has been fired. He naturally hopes to clear up the misunderstanding with Germination, and of course hopes to participate in the B-round financing of Qingcheng Group.

Good to get a piece of it.

As everyone knows, Scarlet Capital has long been on Zhang Shuo's blacklist, and it doesn't matter whether Tan Chairen is there or not.

But Zhang Shuo is not stupid.

Faced with the overtures made by the president of Scarlet Capital, he also nodded in response, and did not make any grudges on the surface.

Give Scarlet Capital some hope.

It's also good for Scarlet Capital to be a little more cautious and restrained when it makes a move on Germinal.

why not?

Another signal representing Zhang Shuo's promotion is that Zhang Shuo's position in the venue was arranged in the middle of the front row, next to the uncle, the third master, and Tenda President Lu Jian.

As for the second master, it is said that he was unfortunately absent due to physical reasons.

Undoubtedly, regardless of whether the outside world recognizes it or not, even if it is only in the Internet industry, Germination is already number one under the Big Three.

This is an indisputable fact.

Those with good intentions are even betting that it will take a few years for Bud to really challenge the Big Three.

Some say it will take three to five years.

There are also optimistic estimates that with the budding speed of rise, it will be able to rank among the new Big Three in two or three years.

It made Qiandu tremble for a while.

Not long after Zhang Shuo sat down, the uncle and the third master also arrived one after another, sitting in their respective positions.

As soon as we met, the uncle started talking about business with Zhang Shuo, and asked with a smile, "Can Ari participate in the B-round financing of Qingcheng Group?"

"of course can."

Zhang Shuo nodded with a smile, Ari was originally one of the shareholders of Qingcheng Group.

"What about Qiandu?"

The third master on the side also joined in the fun, half joking and half serious asking.

"Welcome too!"

However, Zhang Shuo never refused to come, and Qingcheng Group itself did not set a threshold for the B round of financing.

Anyone can vote.

"Hey, Tengda also wants to vote, can you?"

Lu Jian couldn't bear it anymore, and thought about joining in.

"Tengda can't do it." Zhang Shuo shook his head.

"???!!!"

Lu Jian's expression froze, and he subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Isn't Tengda promoting the merger of dolphin travel and camel travel recently, and still has the energy to invest in Qingcheng?" Zhang Shuo directly broke the news in public, no matter in public places.

"Uh……"

Lu Jian's expression became even more embarrassed, and he simply turned his head away.

A hint of deep meaning flashed in the eyes of the uncle and the third master. Obviously, they had heard about this matter a little bit, but they didn't intend to stop it.

It's not that I don't want to.

It is true that Ari and Qiandu have been attracted by Germination recently, and the money in their pockets is tight.

"I heard that Automobile.com is also preparing for an independent listing, and will transfer part of its shares to the outside world. Can Ari subscribe for part of it?" The uncle changed the subject with a smile.

"Ari doesn't like this little profit, does he?"

Although it is said that you can earn when you buy it, only 13% of the shares are left to investors, and they have to be distributed to more than a dozen investment institutions. The income of a single company is very limited.

"Why don't you like it, Ari is very short of money recently, borrowing money everywhere." The uncle laughed.

"I'm really sorry, the investment department of the group has already designated investment institutions." Regardless of whether the uncle was joking or not, Zhang Shuo refused solemnly.

I didn't want to get involved too deeply with Ari, and set up a small circle of interests.

"Forget it." The uncle just casually mentioned that it's gratifying to succeed, and it's okay to fail. Then he asked curiously: "How did you get the hang of it recently? It's financing and transferring shares."

"It's not short of money."

"Sprout is still short of money? Didn't you just take away 130 billion from Ari." The uncle was shocked.

"It's really short of money, then more than 100 billion, and the sprouts will be gone after a few acquisitions."

Zhang Shuo is used to Versailles.

"..."

The uncle was even more speechless, and he probably guessed where the money was spent by Mengya, and tentatively said: "The Internet business is doing well, Mengya is really determined to make such a big investment in the semiconductor industry, what are you trying to do?"

He is very incomprehensible.

Compared with the physical manufacturing industry with large investment and low output, the Internet industry is a huge profit.

But Zhang Shuo can't guess it with common sense.

When Weixin first came out, no one was optimistic about it, but looking back now, it was surprisingly made.

There is also a wheat cell phone.

Although no new products have been released yet, the smartphone market is getting brighter.

It was too late for Ari to enter the arena again.

Now that it is budding and entering the semiconductor and electric vehicle industries with great fanfare, it will inevitably arouse the curiosity of the uncle, wondering if it is another new outlet.

"let's play!"

Of course, Zhang Shuo couldn't be fooled, and said self-deprecatingly: "Anyway, I don't need to deal with investors. Of course, I have to do it according to my own preferences. The manufacturing industry is very good."

"Aren't I a joke?" The uncle was really sour, but he also looked at Zhang Shuo with admiration, "Let's get together tonight and introduce you to some friends."

"it is good!"

Last year Zhang Shuo rejected the uncle once, but this time it is not good to refuse again.

"Sprout has entered the manufacturing industry in a big way, and the Internet business is also booming, which is really enviable." The third master seemed to have something to say.

"It's too busy."

Zhang Shuo is also an old fox, deliberately venting, "In the future, Mengya will choose an appropriate search strategy in the Internet business. In addition to the car network, follow-up like Tiantian Toutiao and the like, are also in the budding pre-sale list In the middle. There is no way, the manufacturing industry is too expensive to bear."

"Oh?"

The uncle, the third master, and Lu Jian all came alive.

"Toutiao is doing well, second only to Tengda News, are you really willing to sell it?"

"Then there's nothing to be reluctant about. Let me tell you that Germination should focus on its main business, and it will definitely take the path of professional development in the future. Aren't the former 71 assistants and Motu Xiuxiu all sold?" Zhang Shuo was very calm.

"Hey, when are you going to make a move?"

The uncle was moved. Ari himself intends to strengthen his layout in the media industry. If he can win the headlines every day, it will definitely be a big strategic victory.

It's just that Ahri's money is a little tight recently.

Seeing the rapid development of Tiantian Toutiao, Ari originally wanted to follow suit and planned to incubate a news client on his own, but he did not master the relevant technologies of intelligent algorithms.

Besides, Ali is not very good at making products, and likes to be fancy.

Budding is different.

Tiantian Toutiao not only has powerful algorithm support behind it, but also has a simple UI interface, and Weixin can comment freely after logging in, which is very popular among users.

There's really nothing to be jealous of.

"It's not so fast, at least we have to wait until it's fattened before selling it." Zhang Shuo smiled like a little fox.

"Row!"

The uncle immediately regained his spirits, "When will it be sold, I will give priority to Ali, I have made a reservation."

"do not."

The third master was not happy, "Qiandu is also very interested in Tiantian Toutiao."

Got it!
Got it again.

Only Lu Jian on the side expressed that he was very hurt, did he dare to be left out in the cold?
.........

At [-]:[-] in the evening, Zhang Shuo went to the banquet on time.

Not surprisingly, I saw the legendary big brother in the private room. He was kind-hearted and greeted Zhang Shuo, "Xiao Zhang, you are amazing."

"you flatter me."

But Zhang Shuo was very tired in his heart, pretending that he didn't understand the hint of the big brother, and sat far away from the big brother.

The embarrassment in the other party's eyes flashed away.

Fortunately, this is a game created by the uncle, and all the business elites, and even the president of Scarlet Capital, all come here. They all hold their own identities and will not do anything out of the ordinary.

The active atmosphere is no longer a problem.

Sitting around together, eating is second only to chatting all over the world, from industry development to policy orientation, and then to the international situation, and occasionally talk about topics that men can understand.

There are not many Yangchun Baixue, but most of them are from Lower Liba.

It also allowed Zhang Shuo to see the vulgarity of these big guys, or the real side. Some of them would not leave the country for even three sentences.

To put it bluntly, forget it, don't say it.

During the period, the big brother still found an opportunity to have a one-on-one private chat with Zhang Shuo, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, my niece has just returned from studying in the beautiful country. I wonder if Qingcheng Group can take her in? It's convenient." , I can participate in the B round financing of Qingcheng Group."

"???"

Zhang Shuo immediately became vigilant, thinking that I can't afford to provoke your niece.

"I'm sorry, Qingcheng's temple is really too small to accommodate such great talents. As for the B round of financing, Qingcheng actually has no shortage of investors."

What Zhang Shuo said was a bit detrimental, and he didn't give Big Brother any face.

"Ting!!!"

The atmosphere in the box was quiet, and everyone looked at Zhang Shuo in surprise.

"Ah, haha, drink, drink."

Immediately, someone came to their senses and hurriedly broke the dullness, pretending nothing had happened, and continued to drink and drink, and what they thought in their hearts was not enough for outsiders to understand.

The uncle even personally took the big brother to drink to ease the embarrassment of the latter.

When the game ends.

The big brother was obviously angry, so he didn't take another look at Zhang Shuo.

"Tell me, why are you so stubborn?"

The uncle is also helpless, he managed to do something with great difficulty, but in the end it made both parties unhappy.

"Different road non-phase plan."

Zhang Shuo is very frank. Although he often complains about the old man's style, there is still an essential difference between the old man and the master.

what man.

"Okay, brother, I was wrong, next time I invite you to drink and make amends." The uncle was also helpless.

Not really angry.

Because the uncle himself is also a very arrogant person, he really got close to the big brother at the beginning, and when his wings were full, he started a sect again and passed the addiction of the big brother by himself.

In contrast, it is not difficult to understand Zhang Shuo's arrogance.

At a young age, he had accumulated a large family business, and recently got an official endorsement. His own background is not as deep as usual. Naturally, he doesn't need to follow the so-called unspoken rules.

Perhaps in Zhang Shuo's eyes, he himself is the rule.

.........

the next day.

When Zhang Shuo reappeared at the venue, many people looked at him again not quite rightly.

Sure enough, there is no impenetrable wall in this world, especially in the Internet circle. In such a large river and lake, any slight disturbance can spread overnight.

Some people thought Zhang Shuo was young and vigorous, but others applauded him.

"You cow!"

Rebus gave Zhang Shuo a thumbs up, "I dare not even give face to that master."

"Why, you admire him very much?"

Zhang Shuo glanced at Rebs, and it was very good to dare to greet him at this time.

"No, no, absolutely not."

Rebus really admired that big brother, and had received a lot of help from that lord, and he also praised him in public.

It's just that Rebs still prefers to make friends with upstarts like Zhang Shuo compared to the owner who is almost out of breath. He said with a smile: "Xiaomi is going to start a new round of financing, are you interested in participating?"

Although the success of Mi 1 made Xiaomi a new star on the Internet, in order to expand its reproduction, it actually went through several rounds of financing in the follow-up.

Yuanshikong also opened its C round of financing in June this year, with a valuation of US$6 billion.

The D round of financing in 2013 is estimated to have reached US$10 billion.

The E round of financing in 2014 was also the last round of financing known to the outside world. The valuation has reached 450 billion US dollars, and the market value is already equivalent to three times.

Therefore, participating in Xiaomi's financing at this time is definitely a profitable business.

No wonder.

Rebus also had the guts to say no to that Big Brother.

This is the reality of shopping malls. You can rely on your strength to take the position of the big brother. After the rising star surpasses you in strength, you may not take you seriously. At most, it is out of respect for the predecessors.

I want to drink five and six, but I can't.

"Forget it, I'm looking for money everywhere, there is really no extra rice in the pot."

Zhang Shuo politely refused.

Rebus was able to take the initiative to extend the invitation, which was naturally kind, but this round of financing for Xiaomi must have been jointly participated by many investment institutions, and Germination may not be able to get many shares.

However, Xiaomi is another star company.

Germination is involved, and the profit is not much, but it is easy to be criticized by others.

It's really boring.

The main reason is that Zhang Shuo does not want to be too high-profile, and timely shrinks the budding investment business.

"let it go."

Rebus is not reluctant, after all, Xiaomi has no shortage of investors.

It's just a gesture of favor.
