Sprinkle coins every day

Chapter 358 With the birth of Xiyang, Germination Warwick is the first to join hands, and Tenda Qiandu wants to hold hands? !
"If you encounter any difficulties in the future and need support from the headquarters, you can come to me directly."

Zhang Shuo gave Lin Zhengdong the right to report directly to him.

Although it is said that Gu Mingzhang is the senior vice president in charge of the manufacturing business of the Sprout Group, in view of the importance of the Dao Sui Group, Lin Zhengdong can completely bypass Gu Mingzhang and report directly to Zhang Shuo.

Of course.

The report here refers to major decisions.

The group's general affairs still only need to be reported to Gu Mingzhang, and Zhang Shuo doesn't have so much time and energy to deal with the daily business decisions of Dao Sui Group.

"it is good."

Lin Zhengdong's happiness and anger are invisible.

After the "interview" was over, Zhang Shuo asked Dai Yutong to take Lin Zhengdong to go through the entry procedures, and the president's office would announce the official appointment of Lin Zhengdong later.

But Gu Mingzhang was left alone.

What we are talking about is about the joint research and development of the mobile phone operating system with Huawei.

"I'm afraid Huawei isn't very enthusiastic."

As an industry insider, Gu Mingzhang thinks he has some understanding of Huawei and has sufficient technical reserves, so he is more self-sufficient in his business strategy.

Whether it is a chip or an operating system, I like to do it myself.

"Let's get in touch with Huawei first and see their attitude." Zhang Shuo suggested with a smile.

"it is good!"

Naturally, Gu Mingzhang would not refuse.

.........

A day later, Gu Mingzhang's contact with Huawei had the result.

"Mr. Zhang, as I expected, Huawei politely declined our cooperation invitation, saying that it has a complete plan for the operating system."

Chinese people usually like introversion in the business field, and they don't like cooperation very much.

Just like the Big Three in the Internet field, they would rather involuntarily involve in the field of long video, and no one will be convinced, but they never thought of coordinating development.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many bad things happening.

Isn't the previous germination, even the current germination, often called the "lone wolf" by the outside world?I like to eat alone, and I have the same problem in my bones.

If there is enough time, Zhang Shuo may just give up.

But time doesn't wait for me.

"If you are like this, help me make an appointment with Mr. Ren. This weekend, I would like to invite Mr. Ren to have afternoon tea together, and see if Mr. Ren is free." Zhang Shuo was about to put aside his "old face" and approached him in person.

"it is good."

Gu Mingzhang hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.

.........

The next day is the weekend.

On Sunday, outsiders naturally had no way of knowing what Zhang Shuo and Mr. Ren talked about in the teahouse, including Gu Mingzhang.

just know.

Just after the weekend, Warwick suddenly changed its attitude. The vice president in charge of the mobile phone business took the initiative to get in touch with Maili Group to discuss the joint establishment of the company and the joint development of the operating system.

The attitude has taken a 180-degree turn.

Naturally, Maili Group responded positively, and Gu Mingzhang even personally presided over the relevant negotiations.

It is not to be ignored.

.........

With the negotiations between the two sides, the time will soon come to Thursday, November 11.

Germination Building.

In the office, Zhang Shuo was flipping through the work briefing, and the performance of the Shumaili Group was the most eye-catching.

Wheat X1 is not only officially launched in overseas markets such as Japan and Southeast Asia, but just the day before yesterday, the total global sales of Wheat X1 officially exceeded 10 million units.

Once again set a new record for domestic smartphones.

Regardless of those who are jealous or still questioning, the success of the Maili X1 is already a certainty, and it can be regarded as initially gaining a firm foothold in the high-end smartphone market.

Among them, Pingguo's showy operation last week also played an assist role.

It's really dumbfounding.

In addition to Maili Group, as the end of the year approaches, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is also enjoying great success, winning several heavyweight awards at home and abroad, such as the most popular mobile game of the year and the most profitable mobile game of the year.

As well as the most valuable mobile game manufacturers and so on.

It can be said that Jade Bird Huyu's dominance in the field of mobile games is already unshakable, and it also allows Jade Bird Huyu to make a lot of money every month.

Profits are rising.

Zhang Shuo was fishing, when Gu Mingzhang knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Zhang, after three days of negotiations, Maili Group has signed a memorandum of cooperation with Huawei. In principle, it is to jointly establish a new company focusing on the research and development of mobile phone operating systems. The registered capital is 2 billion. 50% of the shares."

With only this 2 billion funds, it is definitely impossible to create an operating system. In the future, Maili Group and Warwick will continue to inject capital into the new company to provide operating and research and development funds.

"Very good, have you decided on the new company name?" Zhang Shuo was addicted to naming.

"Not yet, does Mr. Zhang have any good ideas?" Gu Mingzhang also understood.

"Xiyang Technology, how is it?"

"Xi Rang, a very ancient name."

Gu Mingzhang's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile, "Is this also the name of the future operating system?"

"That's right." Zhang Shuo nodded with a smile. "The operating system is the underlying structure. It is both the foundation and the soil. Therefore, it is named Xi Soil, which means the source of all life. What do you think?"

Hongmeng from the original time and space couldn't say it was bad, it just felt that his tone was too loud.

Not an operating system can carry.

"I feel good."

Gu Mingzhang has always admired the big boss's naming skills, such as green grass, wheat grains, rice ears, etc., it sounds like a joke at first glance, but it is very interesting when you taste it carefully.

It is also in line with the characteristics of the new era.

"Then it's settled. Of course, if Huawei has any new ideas, we can communicate with them again." Zhang Shuo is generous and respects Huawei's opinions.

After all.

In this cooperation, Germination is suspected of taking advantage of it.

"Speaking of Huawei, the new company has encountered a big problem, which has not been resolved yet." Gu Mingzhang came to report this time mainly for this purpose.

"Tell me."

Zhang Shuo had a good time.

"According to the memorandum of cooperation signed by the two parties, the personnel composition of Xiyang Technology mainly includes two parts. One is the team that was originally responsible for the development of the MILI system within the Maili Group, and the other is the team in charge of the operating system within Warwick. At the same time , Warwick also promised that in order to ensure the smooth development of the operating system, it will continue to recruit a group of high-tech talents in the communication field from within to join."

Huawei is still very reliable in doing things. If you don't cooperate, if you want to cooperate, then go all out.

It's not secretive.

"Are you worried that the two teams cannot cooperate well?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"Not quite."

Gu Mingzhang explained: "The main reason is that the two systems are different. To put it bluntly, Warwick's employees hold shares. Then these employees will also require employees to hold shares when they come to Xiyang Technology."

This is indeed a contradiction.

Zhang Shuo knew about the development history of Huawei. In his impression, Huawei cooperated with an overseas company to set up a new joint venture company in China, and encountered similar problems in the middle.

The Huawei employees who were transferred to the new company also clamored for the employees to hold shares in order to protect their interests.

Especially after the new company was acquired, I heard that there was a big fuss once.

The acquirer naturally did not agree.

To be honest, there are very few companies like Huawei that implement employee stock ownership. Even Zhang Shuo, who is quite enlightened, holds a negative attitude on this matter.

He is not willing to say that the huge profits created by Germination will only benefit internal employees.

Say it hard.

This is actually a kind of selfishness in a broader sense.

If an enterprise really wants to fulfill its social responsibilities, it must obey the overall situation and talk about macro-control.

"It's better not to implement employee stock ownership for Xiyang Technology." Zhang Shuo expressed his attitude.

"That's what I meant too."

Gu Mingzhang didn't know the position of the big boss, "Huawei didn't mess around, but proposed a compromise plan, which is to allow the former Huawei employees who joined Xiyang Technology to continue to hold their share options in Huawei. Make sure that the interests of these employees are not weakened."

"That won't work either."

Zhang Shuo shook his head subconsciously, "Huawei's intentions are right, but it will cause internal confrontation in Xiyang Technology."

"Who said no?"

This is what Gu Mingzhang is most worried about, "It is also in Xiyang Technology, so if the former Huawei employees still have stock options, what will this make the former Maili employees think? It will definitely feel unfair."

The key is to do so, which is equivalent to the fact that the two teams from Warwick and Maili Group have actually come to opposite sides within Xiyang Technology.

Don't talk about close cooperation, it's good if you don't fight.

In such a state, no matter how much money is spent, nothing can be done.

Besides, time is still so tight.

If the two parties want to cooperate with each other, the first thing to do is to completely disrupt and reorganize the two teams, re-deploy positions according to work needs, and erase the Warwick imprint and wheat grain imprint on both parties.

Otherwise, nothing can be done.

As for Maili Group also implementing employee stock ownership, it is even more unrealistic. It is impossible for Germination to change its business strategy for a new company jointly established.

Especially in such a sensitive field.

"so…"

Zhang Shuo quickly came up with an idea, "The so-called employee stock ownership is essentially to enhance the loyalty of employees. After retirement, a very substantial income security."

"As long as this guarantee is in place, it will be the same whether or not employee stock ownership is implemented."

to be honest.

Isn't the so-called employee stock ownership just a desire to add an additional income in addition to salary income?

For example, annual dividends.

In fact, there is no essential difference between this and the year-end bonus.

Just like the budding department, because the annual year-end bonus is extremely generous, no one is clamoring for employee stock ownership.

Even an executive like Gu Mingzhang.

If the year-end bonus alone exceeds tens of millions, or even tens of millions, then what peanuts are needed?
"Xiyang Technology can formulate an employee protection plan. Based on factors such as working years, ranks, and performance appraisals, we can calculate a sufficiently attractive and incentive bonus plan. This bonus will be cashed out to ensure the vital interests of every employee."

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is a long-term performance appraisal.

Of course, the premise is that everyone must first move forward with the same goal and develop the breath soil system, otherwise everything will be nonsense.

Xiyang Technology does not support idlers.

Even within Huawei, if you want to get a considerable equity incentive, don't you have to work as hard as you can?It's not something you can get by just talking and swiping.

"That's a good idea. I'll communicate with Huawei later." Gu Mingzhang smiled.

"It's about communicating well."

Zhang Shuo took advantage of the situation and said: "Strictly speaking, this cooperation with Huawei is also a new attempt in the management strategy of the Germination Department. Let's not only be able to be a lone wolf, but also learn to cooperate with the outside world."

"clear."

Gu Mingzhang was thoughtful.

After Gu Mingzhang left, Zhang Shuo returned to his desk and wrote down "Zhulong" and "Xiyang" on the paper. This means that Maili Group's layout in the mobile phone business has finally completed two pieces. short board.

The next step is to wait patiently, waiting for the day when it will bloom and bear fruit.

"I'm really looking forward to it..."

.........

On Friday, Tengda Building.

According to the usual practice, the second master called Lu Jian and Feng Yu to meet and discuss matters.

"The strategic adjustment of cutting off non-core business and focusing on core business was previously set. Do you have any specific suggestions or opinions?" Er Ye asked as soon as he came up.

It's very educational.

"I do have an idea, but the steps are a bit big." Lu Jian was playing tricks again.

"But it doesn't matter."

How could the second master not understand Lu Jian's nature.

"My suggestion is to take out the two businesses of map and search, and reach a strategic cooperation with Qiandu. Then take this opportunity to promote the merger of Dacong Dianping and Nomi.com."

Lu Jian's idea was really bold.

You know, whether it is Tenda maps or search business, it is not a non-core business within Tenda. Even if it is not core, it is still a very important part.

just now.

It is really bold that Lu Jian suggested to cut off these two businesses.

"Tell me your reason." The second master was noncommittal.

"The reason is also very simple. Taking the map business as an example, Haode Map and Qiandu Map are the top two in terms of market share, leaving little room for development of Tenda Maps."

With the advent of the mobile wave, the market share of Tenda Maps has not only failed to increase, but is still in the process of shrinking continuously. If it is not supported by the street view function, it may have died a long time ago.

The issue is.

Thousands of maps are also developing street view functions, and the advantages of Tenda maps will soon disappear.

Not to mention on the mobile side, it is almost a situation where Haode Map and Qiandu Map dominate, and there is no chance for a third party to intervene.

"Not to mention the search business, which has not improved in recent years. With the advent of the mobile wave, even Qiandu is struggling in the search field, let alone us."

I have to say that Lu Jian's vision is still good.

In the original time and space, although Tengda's map and search businesses have not been abandoned, they have not yet started.

Especially the search business, even if it is said that after spending a lot of money to acquire Gougou under the Fox Group, it still hasn't caused any big waves in the search market.

Cutting these two businesses at this time can indeed stop losses in time.

"Then why do you want to cooperate with Nomi.com?" Erye was still noncommittal.

"There are three reasons."

Lu Jian obviously did his homework and stretched out three fingers.

"First, if we sell the map business to Qiandu, we can introduce Qiandu Maps in Dacong Dianping, breaking the biggest obstacle to mutual cooperation."

As for selling the search business, it is more like showing favor to Qiandu.

Qiandu naturally despises Tenda's search technology, but is absolutely willing to win Tenda's search department at a suitable price, because it means that Qiandu has really lost one competitor in the search field.

Still a good deal.

"Secondly, Nomi.com's food delivery business is declining day by day. In the competition with Dacong Dianping and Ahri Dianping, it is gradually falling behind, and it is fully willing to cooperate with us."

"On the contrary, if the combination of Dacong Dianping and Nomi.com can be realized, the advantages of our two companies in the local life service field can be established in one fell swoop. Caifutong can also use the new joint platform to expand in the local life service competition. The online and offline application scenarios maintain the competitive situation with Weixin Payment."

It can be said.

If Tengda and Qiandu can join forces, they will be highly complementary to each other.

"The idea is very bold, undeniable, and very tempting." The second master was a little moved.

"Then you agree?"

Lu Jian was a little excited, he really wanted to regain the dominance.

"Try to get in touch with Qiandu first. It's useless if we are willing. This matter depends on your love and my willingness." The second master has already expressed his attitude in essence.

"clear."

Lu Jian nodded with a smile, how could he not hear the overtones.

"Well, I also have a suggestion."

Seeing that Lu Jian's proposal was adopted, Feng Yu was naturally not far behind, and stood up and said, "My suggestion is that the group needs to conduct an in-depth analysis and evaluation of the e-commerce business."

As soon as these words came out, even the air became a little quieter.

"E-commerce, how do you analyze it?" Er Ye said differently.

The reason is not difficult to guess. Compared with maps and search businesses, e-commerce has been included in the core business sequence of Tenda, and it has been tilting resources towards the e-commerce field in the past one or two years.

It can be said.

Erye has great expectations for e-commerce.

But now Yu Yu actually proposes to re-evaluate the group's e-commerce business. Isn't this tantamount to a slap in the face of the second master?
Truth is bold.

Fortunately, Yuyu has also seen big winds and waves, and continued to bite the bullet: "Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that the group has allocated too many resources in the e-commerce field, but the effect is not satisfactory."

This is all euphemism.

In fact, where it is unsatisfactory, it is simply bad.

"The competition in the field of e-commerce is so fierce, especially with the sudden rise of Pinxixi, the development space left for Tenda e-commerce is getting smaller and smaller. It is really difficult to see the hope of taking off."

Yuyu really dare to say.

"Then you mean to sell the e-commerce business as well?" Second Master said with a blank expression.

"Uh, I didn't mean that."

Ryu Yu was discouraged at once, "It's just a suggestion to make an assessment, and it's up to you, the boss, to decide how to deal with it in the future. I don't have any good ideas for the time being."

This is not to say that the fish is playing tricks, but the fact.

The status quo is that even if Tenda is willing to cut off its e-commerce business, it will be difficult to find a suitable buyer.

Needless to say, Ari didn't like it at all.

The two are enemies again.

Jingdong is a good partner, but it's a pity that he was the first to be picked up by Germination, and after getting the support of Weixin traffic, he has no interest in accepting the pot of Tenda E-commerce.

Pin Xixi is even more impossible, they are not on the same track.

As for the remaining specialized vertical e-commerce companies such as Jumei Youpin, not only the track is different, but also the volume is not large, it is really difficult to satisfy Tenda's appetite.

This is the most embarrassing place for Tenda E-commerce.

"Then evaluate it first, and discuss it after the report comes out." In the end, the second master agreed to Yan Yu's suggestion, and it's unclear what he was thinking.

Anyway, it must be mixed flavors.

.........

Monday, May 12.

With the passing of another weekend, time has quietly opened a new chapter, warmly welcoming the arrival of December, and 2012 has quietly come to an end.

after work.

According to the usual practice, Zhang Shuo began to sign and approve the new month's grant application.

Had to bleed again.

Allocate 6 billion research and development funds to the Fertile Research Institute;
Allocate 4 million R&D funds to Mango Auto;
Appropriate 54 billion operating funds to Dao Sui Group, mainly for the acquisition of Licheng Technology;
Allocated 5 million operating funds to Pinxixi Group, mainly for the construction of Qingfeng Logistics;
Appropriate 5 million project funds to Mengya Real Estate.

All together, it is a 74 billion appropriation, which is another record.

In addition to these, last month's big expenses also included the acquisition of the remaining shares of Baishi Express from Ahri for 4.2 million yuan, and it has already participated in the D1 round of financing with a capital of 2 million yuan.

Profit.

Last month, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment turned in a profit of 33.3 billion, Maili Group turned in a profit of 53 billion, Qinghe Technology turned in a profit of 9.5 million, and Germination Financial Holdings turned in a profit of 1.2 million.

A total of 97 billion profits were turned in, a new high.

In addition to the monthly profit of 24.5 billion, the profit handed over by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment for the month also included the overseas agency fee of 8.8 million for Boom Beach.

The overseas agency fee of this game alone exceeds that of the two games last month.

After all, there is the sky-high agency fee of "Clash of Clans".

Among the profits handed over by Qinghe Technology, it included the 8.5 million funds for selling the right to use the frog browser's search box for one year to Qiandu.

Although the frog browser defaults to the browser of Maili X1, the operation is still handed over to Qinghe Technology.

As for the Wheat Group.

As the sales volume of Wheat X1 continues to increase, after the cost is diluted, the profit turned over also increases.

--slightly--

[Level]: Level 10 (1057 million/5000 million)
[Cash]: 89.5 billion

[Loans]: 25 billion (bank loans) + 5 billion (corporate bonds) + 84 billion (overseas loans)

--slightly--

After the appropriation, the funds in Germination's account not only did not decrease, but increased by 17.5 billion.

That's cool.

Even with entrepreneurial experience, it has officially broken through the 50 million mark, but it is still far away from the [-] million upgrade standard, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve it next year.

The system is also really stingy.

Zhang Shuo is also looking forward to being promoted to level 11 as soon as possible, so that the cash flow obtained by the overseas dream fund will be more abundant, and he can more calmly cooperate with the budding overseas strategy.

thought.

The support fund of [-] million US dollars per month is quite enough.

Now it is necessary to jointly acquire Licheng Technology and Hitachi Storage. Depending on the situation, the dream fund will be emptied at once, and cash flow will become stretched again.

Really can not help but spend.

It can be seen that Zhang Shuo's previous judgment was correct. In the international market, if a mere dozen or so dollars were thrown down, it is estimated that not even a wave could be seen.

That's where the real predators gather.

I just don't know when Zhang Shuo will become a real predator
