Chapter 378 Acquisition of Hitachi Storage, Germination makes another breakthrough, it's a sensation!

Germination's big move in Luzhou not only shocked many cities, but also dropped a blockbuster in the industry. With its unparalleled strength, it shocked some of its peers.

Tenda Building.

Compared with the previous week, the atmosphere in the office has returned to dignified, or returned to normal.

No one thought that Germination would use such a shocking method to break through the ingenuity with pure force, and it was impossible to forcibly kill a bloody road and complete the layout of domestic software.

"It's really profitable to make mobile phones." Lu Jian's words were a little sour.

"It's very profitable."

On this point, Yu Yu rarely reached an agreement with Lu Jian, "As far as I know, within the Germination department, the profit of the mobile phone business has completely surpassed the game business, and has become the largest profit pillar of Germination."

These words are actually more sour.

Because as early as a few months ago, the game profit of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment had surpassed that of Tenda Games.

It's not just mobile game revenue.

It is the combination of all income from mobile games, stand-alone games, competitive games, and game agency, and Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, which was established less than three years ago, kicked Tenda Games off the throne in one fell swoop.

Outrageous!

"Boss, can we also enter the mobile phone field?" Lu Jian suggested.

"It's too late to make a mobile phone now?"

The second master raised his brows, but refused ten times.

Not to mention overseas brands such as Pingguo and Samsung, just in China, there are many brands such as Maili, Xiaomi, Huawei, OV, Meizhen, HTC, etc., which have long been a red sea.

Where is the opportunity for latecomers.

"I heard that Meijiu's management has been poor recently, and it almost fell into a loss. Can you think about it?"

Lu Jian is obviously not aimless.

"You mean, to complete the layout of the mobile phone business through investment, or even the acquisition of Meiji?" The second master's eyes were deep, "If we can't even play Meiji, can we join and succeed?"

"Uh, this..."

Lu Jian stopped talking, he didn't dare to guarantee it.

In itself, Tenda is a pure Internet company, and it relies on the link of social networking to grow stronger and bigger, which has strong limitations.

Not good at other fields.

Otherwise, it would not be painful to sell the search, map, e-commerce and other businesses.

Compared with Internet businesses such as search and e-commerce, although the mobile phone industry is also closely related to the Internet, it belongs to the manufacturing industry after all, and it is a cross-domain industry.

It is definitely not something Tenda can play.

No matter how confident Second Master is, he will not be blindly optimistic in this area.

Of course, there is also an anomaly here, that is, the sprout that rose like a whirlwind has easily realized the cross-domain from the Internet industry to the manufacturing industry, and it has done a good job.

I am very envious.

Sometimes, even the second master had to admire Zhang Shuo's entrepreneurial talent.

It's really exciting!

In addition to cross-industry concerns, for Tenda at the moment, the capital chain itself is already stretched, and there is simply not enough funds to acquire Meizhuo.

Unless it is financing in the stock market.

And the stock price of Tengda itself has been tepid in the past six months, how could the second master take risks so easily?

"Don't be too greedy, just concentrate on doing our main business well."

Strategic contraction is the core business strategy set by Tengda, and Erye will change it easily.

"The core question now is, how did the Dinghaishen Orb fall in the game..."

Speaking of this, the second master glanced at the fish without a trace, and then changed his words: "Before the corrosion, find a new profit growth point and continue to maintain high revenue growth."

Yu Yu has no expression on his face, he is used to it.

"Then let me talk first."

Lu Jian also took a look at Yu Yu, and analyzed: "In the big entertainment sector, online literature can barely maintain a balance of payments, and other long-form video, music, animation and other businesses will suffer losses in the long run due to copyright purchases."

And it's a big loss.

Especially in the field of long-form video, the competition among the three giants of Tenda, Ahri, and Qiandu has been fixed. In the past year, the cost of film and television copyright has skyrocketed.

The most direct result is to make Jiawei culture a lot of money.

Who to talk to?
Until then, the many high-quality IP copyrights held by Jiawei Culture were well known by the industry and realized their potential value, but unfortunately it was too late.

A slightly better IP has already been taken by Jiawei Culture.

Jiawei Culture, which holds a large number of high-quality IP copyrights, coupled with the top domestic TV drama production team, has become a super dark horse in the film and television industry, with the appearance of reaching the top.

If it goes on the market, it will definitely be popular.

According to Xu Jia's feedback, in the past six months, Tengda, Ari, and Qiandu have all been in contact with Jiawei culture, and they want to indirectly achieve the effect of binding with Jiawei culture by investing in Jiawei culture.

Under Zhang Shuo's instruction, Xu Jia naturally had the appetite of the Big Three all the time, waiting for a price.

Now is far from the time to sell for a good price.

"In the local life service sector, food delivery subsidies are still in progress. If you want to get involved in the bike-sharing business, it will only say that you need more financial support. In the short term, it is difficult to say that it will achieve profitability."

Yep, another big hole.

"The overall investment sector is improving, but because it cannot be realized in a short period of time, it is only a book profit at present, and it cannot bring real cash income."

He was cut off by Germinal, and he was killed by the mildew group, and he was cut off by the Fenglei Fund, such as slow hand and Zhihu.

this life.

Compared with the original time and space, Tenda's investment landscape is destined to be eclipsed.

"The ones that really achieve large-scale profitability mainly include the advertising revenue of Tenda News and Caifutong's Internet finance business, but to be honest, the profitability level is currently very average."

After analyzing it, Lu Jian's expression became more and more weird.

After careful inventory, it was discovered that the two major businesses that support Tenda to continue to move forward are games and social networking, which have low morale, and are still irreplaceable Dinghaishenzhen.

This is also the source of Erye's anxiety.

In order to save some face, Lu Jian continued: "As China's economy continues to take off, the scale of the advertising market will only grow larger. Platforms such as Tengda News are here, and the prospects are still worth looking forward to."

This is not wrong.

In the original time and space, even Ahri became the largest advertising company, even the rising star Character Jump, essentially monetizes the traffic one by one through advertisements.

Otherwise, the free ones are the most expensive ones.

"Therefore, I suggest that the various apps under Tenda should appropriately add some advertising spaces, such as opening screen advertisements, sticky advertisements, embedded advertisements, smart push advertisements, etc."

"ICQ and Weichat two apps, should we also increase the advertising space?"

Ryuyu was somewhat resistant. In itself, the increasingly bloated ICQ is far inferior to Weixin in terms of user experience. If it puts in advertisements, it will be tantamount to poisoning.

"of course yes!"

Lu Jian has his own considerations, "ICQ and Weichat are the two apps with the largest traffic under the group, especially ICQ, just by placing advertisements in the circle of friends, the income is very considerable. Others include open screen advertisements and smart push Advertisements, public account advertisements, etc., can definitely bring about a considerable increase in advertising revenue.”

"Adding so many advertisements will affect the user experience, right?" Yu Yu frowned even more.

"The impact is definitely going to have a little impact."

This Lu Jian does not deny, "However, the harm of the two powers is the lesser. Compared with the rich advertising revenue, it is definitely worth sacrificing a little user experience."

"These two software itself are free to use, and they are all for nothing. Clicking on the advertisement is not too much, right?"

"You don't want to say that the group's social business will not be able to realize it for a long time, right? Selling traffic portals is essentially the same as directly advertising, right?"

"this…"

Now that it's all said and done, Feng Yu really doesn't have the confidence to refuse.

"Then let's increase the advertising space, and use the advertising business as an important starting point for the group's revenue growth." The second master made a final decision, and he also does not reject advertising.

"In addition to the advertising business, Internet finance is actually a huge treasure."

After being recognized by the second master, Lu Jian was even more excited, "As far as I know, Ahri is far ahead of us in this area, and the scale is more than a hundred times ours."

"You mean, increase the leverage?" Second Master's eyes were fixed.

"Yes."

Lu Jian didn't shy away from it, "This is the most direct and most effective method. It's just lying down and counting money."

"Weizhong Bank, can't you get through?"

After all, the second master was already moved.

However, since WeBank was jointly established by Tengda, Mengya, and Pingyuan, Mengya has very strict control over compliance, leaving little room for maneuvering.

Lu Jian naturally understood, and said with a smile: "Looking back now, Weizhong Bank actually did more harm than good to us, and it was more like a restraint on our Internet financial business by the bud."

This smacks of a conspiracy theory.

"Then what do you mean?"

Second Master's question seemed more like encouraging something.

"I suggest that we simply withdraw from WeBank. It's fine if you don't withdraw, but you should follow the example of Ali and set up an independent Internet finance company to operate this business alone."

To put it bluntly, it is to cut off from Weizhong Bank and bypass supervision.

"Okay, you are in charge of execution."

The second master was also pushed to the wall, and he had to give an explanation to the board of directors.

Make money, it's not shabby!
.........

Ali headquarters.

The uncle is not in a good mood either, last week he only made fun of it, and this week he was slapped in the face.

Compared with Mengya's [-] billion investment drama in Luzhou, the stupid bird network project that made my uncle very proud before seems a bit unpromising.

And if analyzed from a practical point of view.

With the start of construction of the modern logistics park in Luzhou of Pinxixi Group, Qingfeng Logistics has started to build three modern logistics parks in less than half a year, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Bniao Network.

It is impossible to say that there is no pressure.

"Sprout, a strong enemy!"

Faced with Zhang Shuo, who is a different kind, wise as an uncle, he doesn't feel a headache.

There was a hint of remorse in my heart.

"At the beginning, shouldn't the relationship with Zhang Shuo be frozen because of the big brother?"

What a loss!

Originally, the relationship between Ahri and Germination was very good, but now it has been adjusted like this.

It's a mess!
.........

Ari and Tengda's reactions are pretty normal, and people like Xiaomi, apart from envying their real names, really can't find any other emotions to express their feelings.

Of course, there are also some yin and yang weirdness.

"No matter how big the investment of Germina is, it's just in Huaxia's nest. Unlike someone who thinks, as a world-renowned company, it should be the target of Chinese entrepreneurs to emulate."

"Actively participating in the global division of labor and strengthening international cooperation is the kingly way!"

"Sprout seems to be doing well, but wasting precious funds, public resources, talents, etc. in the fields of domestic software and chip foundry that have no future. It is really reckless!"

"Inaction is also a form of evil."

"A large part of Bud's income comes from the game business, and the game makes profits by harming young people. It really can't be called so clever, and it shouldn't be overly sought after."

"It is the greatest tragedy of this era that Zhang Shuo can become the idol of young people!"

Such a dense and unified speech, it is hard to believe that there is no one behind it.

Motives are also easy to guess.

As Germinal accelerates its layout in the field of computer accessories, it is afraid that it will touch someone's cake.

Can you be in a hurry?

It is said that when Jingshi rejected the software industrial park project, there was someone behind it.

It can be seen that the surface is calm, but the inside is anxious.

Especially those like Xin Jing Bao, who couldn't help but stand up and connotate, "Luzhou is a big gamble, with the vital interests of tens of millions of people in Luzhou, and even in southern Hunan Province, it's not good wisdom."

"The game is poisonous, Germination should reflect on itself!!!"

It's a pity that Germinal has already taken over the general trend. In front of the general trend, all the slander and abuse can't shake the foundation of Germinal. They are just entertaining themselves in their own circle.

Once out of the circle, you will be scolded bloody.

.........

Monday, May 3.

As the weekend passed, no matter whether it was praised or criticized, although the news about Mengya's investment in Luzhou was still being discussed, compared to the initial enthusiasm, it had dropped a lot, and it was no longer the focus of the entire network.

In the Internet world, perhaps the most indispensable thing is hot spots.

And on this day.

Dream Fund, Inaho Group and Hitachi Group attended the press conference together and signed a tripartite investment acquisition agreement in front of the global media.

Regulation--

The acquisition consortium formed by Dream Fund and Inaho Group will complete the acquisition of Hitachi Storage in the form of cash + shares at a total price of US$48 billion, setting a record for the largest acquisition in the world this year.

After the acquisition is completed.

Dream Fund will hold 48% of Hitachi Storage, Inaho Group will hold 42% of Hitachi Storage, and Hitachi Group will still retain 10% of Hitachi Storage.

In other words, the real total purchase price is actually 43.2 billion U.S. dollars.

In order to complete this overseas acquisition, Dao Sui Group, one of the main participants, needs to spend 130 billion in real money in one go, which is also the largest single acquisition of the Germination system.

Of course.

As I said before, the signing of the investment acquisition agreement is only the first step, and the approval of Dongying, Huaxia and other parties is still required before the acquisition can be considered to be truly implemented.

even so.

After the press conference, the name of Budding still resounded all over the world, and it immediately became the focus of worldwide attention.

Prior to this, overseas users’ impression of Bud was more from the mobile games under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment. Asian users may also know about Maili X1 launched by Maili Group.

Nothing else.

Because the main business of the Germination Group is still in Huaxia.

And this time, through this super acquisition, it has well demonstrated the financial strength of Germination to the outside world.

It is a veritable big dog.

The saying that "Sprouting is the most valuable unicorn company in the world" has also spread on the global Internet, further enhancing the global popularity and status of Sprouting.

"It is said that Mengya Zhang is less than 27 years old, younger than Xiao Zha, amazing!"

"I didn't expect that Huaxia could produce such an outstanding entrepreneurial star. I'm envious of my real name!"

"You don't know, do you? Germination Zhang has Korean blood."

"The most important thing is that since the establishment of the Germination Group, it has not raised a single round of financing. The only investor is the Dream Fund. It can be called the lucky one in the venture capital circle."

"Dream Fund's investment in Germination Group alone is enough to enter the annals of history!"

"Welcome Germination to come to the beautiful country for listing, support a wave!"

"You must come to the beautiful country, otherwise, Sprout is not a global enterprise."

"I'm curious, when will Mengya Zhang become the richest man in Asia?"

"Sooner or later!"

This is real influence.

Among other things, affected by this news, the sales of Maili X1 in the Southeast Asian market surged again.

Even Wichat couldn't bear it, and stood up to catch a wave of enthusiasm, saying that Sunshine Holdings, a subsidiary of Sprout Group, is also one of its major shareholders, and has a deep relationship with Weixin.

And in China.

The wave of public opinion that had already subsided was naturally stirred up again.

"Let me go, Germination is going to heaven."

"It's not just God, it's going against the sky!!!"

"Ghost knows, how much money Mengya has made in the past two years, hey, hey, the real big dog!"

"This wave, I want to blow it up!!!"

"I always feel like I'm driving upstairs, but I can't find any evidence."

"Hehe, didn't a certain company have a quirk before, saying that Germina would only run in the Huaxia nest? This wave, how should I say it, isn't it more grand than a certain company?"

"A certain company: I can't see it, I can't see it!"

"Forget it, don't mention that company, everyone knows it well, and they are not even worthy of carrying shoes for Germination."

"that is!"

"Looking forward to the wheat grain laptop coming out soon, so that there is a reason to change computers."

"It must be supported!"

"I'm really excited. After thinking about it carefully, Meng Ya's struggles in the past six months, I always feel that Meng Wang is playing a big game of chess, but he can't see through it, so he can only shout 666."

"What can't be seen through? Renmeng King has already announced the standard answer, okay? What is the mission of Germina? Isn't it to strive to be the light of the national trend and promote the rise of domestic products?"

"God upstairs, worship!"

"Indeed, Mengwang has the self-confidence and ambition of contemporary Chinese young people. He doesn't lie down, doesn't make money, doesn't get involved, and if he wants to do something, he has to do something cool."

"It must be, otherwise, why do you think that Meng Wang has become the idol of our post-[-]s generation?"

"Post-[-]s: Are we unworthy?"

"Stop arguing, the future is the world of our millennials."

"Little friend, your mother is calling you to go home and do your homework, be good!!!!"

"Why does it feel like it's crooked again? Could it be that we're not talking about Mengya's overseas acquisition?"

"Looking at the situation, Germination really wants to deepen the semiconductor field, but I don't know if it will transfer related businesses to China after the acquisition of Hitachi Storage."

This is actually what many cities are most concerned about.

As soon as the news came back to China, the capital, Shanghai, Jiangxia, Luzhou, Linxiang, Jianye, Lin'an, Rongcheng, Shancheng and other cities began to show their special abilities.

Through various channels, try to get in touch with Germination as soon as possible to obtain first-hand information.

The most important question is-

"Does Germination intend to enter the hard disk storage business, and will it transfer related businesses to China?"

Because this also involves a very critical issue, this time for the acquisition of Hitachi Storage, Inaho Group is only one of the participants, and Dream Fund is the largest shareholder of Hitachi Storage.

Therefore.

Under Zhang Shuo's instruction, Lin Zhengdong, the president of Dao Sui Group who had just returned from the contract and had no time to rest, held a simple press conference in Jiangxia.

For this overseas acquisition, a brief explanation was made.

"After the acquisition of Hitachi Storage, in addition to retaining the business in Dongying, the focus of future business expansion, including technology research and development and upgrading in related fields, will be placed in China."

"On this point, Dream Fund is consistent with Dao Sui Group."

"At the same time, the understanding of the Hitachi Group has also been obtained."

Lin Zhengdong's words were tantamount to clearing away the biggest obstacle for Inaosui Group's deployment of storage business in China, and made the media invited to the press conference immediately excited.

"May I ask Mr. Lin, does this mean that the hard disk storage business will be a key area of ​​Inaosui Group?" A reporter at the scene couldn't help asking.

"Yes."

Lin Zhengdong did not shy away, "The technical threshold of memory chips is relatively low, and it will be the focus of Inaho Group's research in the semiconductor field in the future. The acquisition of Hitachi Storage is just the beginning."

"In the future, Daosui Group will establish a complete industrial chain from basic research and development, to chip design, to memory chip processing and manufacturing, packaging and testing."

"Wow!!!"

This time, the cities that got the news became even more excited.

Who wouldn't want a piece of the action?
As a result, Germination's subsidiaries, branches, and offices all over China received local calls one after another, and some even visited them in person.

Without exception.

They all expressed their eagerness to reach a strategic cooperation with Sprout.

Conditions issued.

It is also more attractive than one.

These cities are not stupid. If we really want to establish a complete industrial chain of storage business as Lin Zhengdong said, it will drive hundreds of billions, or even trillions of investment.

In contrast, the blockbuster that Germination dropped on Luzhou before seemed a bit unsightly.

In the face of such a super project, even if it is as big as a magic city, it can no longer be calm.

Who is not envious?
