Chapter 392 Overseas Expansion Accelerates, Germination Starts the Steps of Globalization!

Thursday, November 5.

Zhang Shuo Qingche Jiancong came to Luzhou and visited the Luzhou Software Industrial Park, Qingfeng Logistics Luzhou Modern Logistics Park, Maili Electronics Luzhou Electronics Factory and Luzhou Semiconductor Industry Base, which are under construction.

The itinerary is very tight.

In order to show its importance, Luzhou specially arranged for a city government adjutant to accompany him throughout the journey.

It can be said to be full of cards.

In fact, only [-] days have passed since Germina and Luzhou reached a strategic cooperation, and the four major cooperation projects signed by the two parties have all entered the construction stage.

Efficiency is not bad.

The fastest progress is undoubtedly the Luzhou Electronics Factory, which is expected to be completed by the end of August and will be put into trial operation in September.

The recruitment and training of workers are also being carried out simultaneously.

In the past six months, Maili Electronics has accumulated a wealth of practical experience in Jiangcheng, and it is already familiar with operating a similar electronics factory in the central region.

What's more, Luzhou's economy is more developed than Jiangcheng's.

As for the large-scale Luzhou Software Industrial Park project, three links and one leveling are mainly carried out in the early stage. For example, Xiyang Technology and Unreal Games, which have already settled in, are already building office buildings.

It is expected that the relocation will be realized by the end of the year.

The project itself is also based on the long-term, not five years or ten years, basically no effect can be seen.

On the contrary, many real estate developers have sensed business opportunities, and they have acquired land around the software industrial park, including residential complexes and comprehensive shopping malls.

There are even plans for a food street.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luzhou revitalized the surrounding land, and used land sales funds to improve the surrounding infrastructure, and even planned public facilities such as experimental schools, hospitals, and parks.

It seems that it is planning according to a new district, and its ambition is not small.

During the construction of the software industrial park, the [-] billion software industry support fund established by Germinal has already distributed a lot of coins. Up to now, it has invested in nearly [-] companies.

Anyone who accepts Germinal's investment has a prerequisite, that is, to move to the software industrial park.

Without the foundation of tens of billions of funds, Luzhou would not dare to make such a big move. In case the surrounding supporting buildings are built, no company will settle in.

That would be embarrassing.

Then there is the Luzhou Modern Logistics Park. Because of the construction experience in Jiangcheng and Linxiang, the design drawings are basically copied from the original, and then detailed adjustments are made according to the land and geological conditions.

It has also entered the construction stage.

The Luzhou semiconductor base, which occupies the largest area, currently only introduces Weijing Semiconductor. The 40nm wafer foundry is designed and constructed simultaneously with the headquarters building.

Right now, it is still in the stage of three links and one leveling, and no major changes can be seen.

This is also the project that Luzhou is most interested in. During the visit, the adjutant of the city government couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhang, Dr. Liang Song joined the Dao Sui Group, and the ambition of Weijing Semiconductor should not be 40 nanometers, right?"

"of course."

Zhang Shuo did not hide anything, "Weijing Semiconductor's goal is to catch up with TEC, which may be a bit exaggerated, but it is certain to become the top three foundry companies in the world."

"I believe it will be possible, you are the hand of miracles."

The opponent's eyes really brightened.

"I don't dare to take that." Zhang Shuo is already familiar with this level of flattery, and took the opportunity to say: "The development of Weijing Semiconductor cannot be separated from Luzhou's strong support."

"Of course."

The other party also understood, and they all went for win-win cooperation.

After the visit.

Zhang Shuo came to the temporary headquarters of Weijing Semiconductor and met Liang Song alone.

"Those things from the outside world didn't affect you, did they?"

"No, I'm keeping my ears to the outside world, and I just want to do research and development."

When Zhang Shuo had a showdown with Liang Song in Binhai City, he set the goal of Weijing Semiconductor to break through the advanced 28nm process within one and a half years.

Break through the 14nm advanced process within four years.

During the period, it is not easy to avoid the technical blockade of TEC and Samsung, or even find another way.

Even Liang Song, who claims to be a chip lunatic, is under a lot of pressure in the face of this super challenge. After taking office, he has no energy to focus on external disturbances, and quickly devotes himself to work.

He believed.

Zhang Shuo must have a way to solve those troubles outside by asking him.

After all, before he formally joined Germination, Liang Song himself never thought that he could leave Samsung so easily and turn to join the Rice Ear Group.

Liang Song is not stupid.

He knew very well that in this process, Germination must have done a lot of work behind the scenes.

Therefore, he has extra confidence in Zhang Shuo.

"very good."

As the boss, Zhang Shuo admired a workaholic like Liang Song, and then brought up another matter, which was also one of the main purposes of his trip to Luzhou.

"The group has decided to hand over the first generation of Zhulong chips to Taiji Electronics. Do you think it is possible to persuade Taiji Electronics to build a 28nm wafer foundry production line in Luzhou Semiconductor Base?"

This is also at the request of Luzhou.

Now that the signboard of the semiconductor base has been played, it is of course necessary to attract investment.

And if Tai Electromechanical can be invited here, then the semiconductor base will undoubtedly be more than half successful, even if it is only a 28nm production line.

To know.

Even after ten years, it will be very difficult to build such a production line inland.

Of course, there is also Zhang Shuo's little thought in it.

If TEC can build a wafer foundry in Luzhou, it will be necessary to train qualified industrial workers in Luzhou. At that time, Weijing Semiconductor, which is in the same park, will also be able to benefit from it.

The issue is.

Mengya has already broken up with Samsung, and has no bargaining chip in hand to check and balance Taiji, whether it can be done or not.

Zhang Shuo also had no idea.

After all, Liang Song has been in TEC for 17 years, so he must have a deeper understanding of TEC than anyone else.

"It's a little difficult, but we can think of a way." Liang Song said.

"Oh?"

Zhang Shuo immediately regained his energy. He didn't have too high expectations at first, and said with a smile: "Then you will be fully responsible for this matter and report directly to me. But there is one thing, you can't go to Yizhou in person. Province."

He was really worried that Liang Song had been detained by Thai Electromechanical.

Although this possibility is small.
"I'm obliged."

In addition to being the general manager of Weijing Semiconductor, Liang Song is also the executive vice president of Dao Sui Group, in charge of the group's chip foundry business, which was originally within his scope of responsibility.

.........

The next day, Zhang Shuo flew back to Binhai City.

Because it was already Friday, he only took a short nap at noon and rushed to the company again in the afternoon.

The latest briefing is on the table.

There have been quite a few big events in the Germination Department recently.

For example, a [-] million corporate bond of the Germination Group is due today and needs to be paid.

Another example.

Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has launched another stand-alone game masterpiece - "Taiwu Painting Scroll" on the Lingjing platform.

"Taiwu Painting Scroll" was originally released on September 18, 9.

This is an independent game based on mythology and martial arts. In the world of "The Scroll of Taiwu", players not only need to play the role of the mysterious "Heir of Taiwu", but also take different attitudes in life - be kind, Either evil, or moderation - throw yourself into the complicated rivers and lakes.

Players can not only visit martial arts schools around the world and learn a wide variety of martial arts skills;

Not only can you build your own village and manage various industries; you can also have children with your beloved, and you will be destined for three lives; until you finally face the old enemy of the Taiwu clan and decide the fate of the world!

As an original stand-alone masterpiece of pure martial arts style, it won unanimous praise from players as soon as it was launched!
Unknown rivers and lakes, diverse gameplay, "living" NPCs, meticulous manufacturing, and real martial arts battles, each item allows players to obtain the greatest gaming experience.

It seems to be in the real martial arts arena.

"Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is getting more and more promising in stand-alone games, come on!!!"

"Products produced by Jade Bird must be high-quality goods!"

"When I turn on the computer every day, the first thing I do is to log in to the Lingjing platform. Am I useless?"

"Scrap +1!!!"

"Wow, there's no way, most of the end games worth playing in China are on the Lingjing platform."

After expanding the agency business, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment will not only launch its own games on the Lingjing platform, but will also release the works of many other game companies to enrich the product line of the Lingjing platform.

It is already the undisputed number one game platform in China.

A few days ago, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has launched the overseas expansion plan of the Lingjing platform. The first step is to promote the Lingjing platform in East Asia, Southeast Asia and other places, still focusing on the Asian market.

Because many of the stand-alone games and client games of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment have a strong Chinese style.

It is easier to spread in the Confucian cultural circle.

In the European and American markets, the steam platform will still occupy the mainstream, and it will be difficult to be shaken in a short time.This is also a kind of tacit agreement between Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and V agency.

Just thinking about it, Lu Kai knocked on the door and came in.

"Chairman, I have some thoughts about Qingcheng Group's C round of financing."

"Oh? Talk about it."

Zhang Shuo smiled and asked Lu Kai to sit down on the sofa.

This is also his work habit.

I usually don't like to talk, I sit in an office chair and listen to my subordinates' reports in a serious manner.

"I suggest that Qingcheng Group's C round of financing can consider appropriately introducing some overseas capital, such as Thief Group. The purpose is to pave the way for Qingcheng Group's overseas expansion."

Lu Kai also spoke surprisingly.

"Green Orange's food delivery, online ticketing, hotel, tourism, bike-sharing and other businesses are all suitable for global promotion, and there is no need to be limited to the local Chinese market."

"Do you want to expand overseas?"

Zhang Shuo's eyes also brightened, and he said with a smile: "This actually coincides with my thoughts."

As early as last year, Zhang Shuo suggested to Erye that the future of Tengda lies overseas, but Erye did not listen to it, and was still obsessed with invading the Chinese market.

The same principle is actually applicable to the germination system.

It is unreasonable to say that Zhang Shuo persuaded Tenda to expand overseas markets, but Germination itself is resting on its laurels.

That was too ironic.

The overseas business currently developed by the Germination Department mainly includes three major areas.

One is the games under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.

It is also the most successful part. Sunshine Holdings is responsible for the overall operation of overseas agency rights.

The second is Wichat, the overseas version of Weixin, which is operated by an overseas company registered in the beautiful country. Sunshine Holdings holds 45% of the shares. It is currently the top four social software in Europe and the United States.

The third is the wheat cell phone.

Maili mobile phone can be regarded as a business with the most potential for overseas development, but it can only be regarded as just getting started.

There will be many challenges in the future.

In addition, some research institutions such as laboratories, research institutes, and R&D centers established overseas cannot be counted because they do not involve specific businesses.

Compared with the entire Bud series, the proportion of overseas business is actually very low.

As Lu Kai said, Qingcheng Group’s local life service, Qingyun Data’s cloud service, Qinghe Technology’s game live broadcast, Feixun and other businesses, and even Pinxixi Group’s logistics and e-commerce business.

Not to mention the promotion on a global scale, at least in Asia, it has a very promising market prospect.

And in the future.

There are also the semiconductor business of Dao Sui Group, the new energy vehicles of Mango Automobile and so on.

They are all ace weapons for expanding overseas markets.

In fact, Zhang Shuo had made plans and plans for expanding overseas markets a long time ago. Otherwise, he would not have registered and established Sunshine Holdings in Xiangjiang half a year after Germinal registered.

Ambition is not insignificant.

But before that, Germination was still a start-up company, and its strength was too weak. Before entering the overseas market on a large scale, the first thing to do was to gain a firm foothold in the Chinese market.

If you can't even compare with Tengda and others, then exploring overseas markets is a false proposition.

to today.

The budding Internet business has completely overwhelmed Tengda, both in terms of scale and profitability, and has also surpassed the Big Three, which can be regarded as completely gaining a firm foothold in China.

It is indeed time to vigorously expand overseas markets.

Although it is said that many Chinese companies in the original time and space have encountered various setbacks, unforeseen disasters, and even Waterloo when they explored overseas markets, it does not mean that overseas markets are not important.

On the contrary, it is precisely because of the huge potential of overseas markets that there will be such and such invisible obstacles.

The solution proposed by Lu Kai is to properly introduce overseas capital in the process of corporate financing, and then use the influence of overseas capital to obtain admission tickets to open up overseas markets.

There is nothing wrong with this, it is not advisable to eat alone.

Germinal eats solo food in China, and is already enemies on all sides. If he wants to eat solo food in overseas markets where he is not familiar, it is almost wishful thinking, and it is impossible to realize.

Of course, the specific situation must be analyzed in detail.

Such as local life services, e-commerce, and game live broadcasting are just innovations in business models, which are easy to imitate and localize. If you want to open up overseas markets, you must cooperate with local capital.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to move an inch, and it will be easily squeezed out by local forces.

For games, mobile phones, and new energy vehicles, which have "unique skills" and cannot be imitated, they can adopt the agency model and give local capital a share of the action.

After all.

If you want to grab profits in the global market, you must have products with core competitiveness.This is also one of the main reasons why companies like Tenda have doubts about exploring overseas markets.

Germinal actually has a very unique advantage in this area.

Because Germination is very focused on research and development.

"I agree with Qingcheng Group's C round of financing to introduce overseas capital, but there is a premise, that is, the focus of Qingcheng Group's overseas development is still to focus on the Southeast Asian market."

Zhang Shuo did not fully adopt Lu Kai's suggestion.

After all, Lu Kai came out of the Thief Group. In terms of ideology, including some values, subconsciously, he still believes in the set of rules of the game played by international capital predators.

He also has no doubts about the strength of the Thief Group.

Zhang Shuo is different.

As a reborn person, he has always firmly believed that Asia is the center of the world, and will always be the key area for budding overseas business.

Especially the Southeast Asian market.

As for the Green Orange Group, whether it is food delivery, hotels, tourism, etc., the European and American markets are actually somewhat unacceptable. The beautiful country is sparsely populated, and Europa is a depression for Internet applications.

In contrast, the Southeast Asian market has more potential for development.

If there is a business model that can be used globally, it is estimated that Qingcheng Group plans to launch Qingcheng Taxi in the second half of the year, but this is not a business model unique to Qingcheng.

In fact.

As early as 10 years ago, Uber launched the first version of the taxi app in the beautiful country.

In February of this year, Uber began to explore the Asian market. The first stop was Star City, which is known as the brain of Southeast Asia. The original time and space will enter the Chinese market in March 14.

The first stop is in Shanghai.

As a start-up company born in the beautiful country, Uber's development model is obviously different from that of Tenda and Bud. At the beginning of its birth, it took the path of global expansion.

This is the unique advantage of others, and I can't envy them.

In this regard, Uber has also been exposed to shocking scandals in 22 years. A large amount of evidence shows that in order to support its global expansion, Uber’s various small actions in private are simply appalling.

But it is far from being as pure as it is advertised on the surface.

Just imagine, if you want to open up the European market, even Uber has to do this kind of small trick, let alone Qingcheng Group. All said, Zhang Shuo really lacks interest in letting Qingcheng open up the European and American markets.

It is likely to be thankless.

"If you want to focus on developing the Southeast Asian market, then I suggest registering and setting up an overseas company in Star City to operate it, and at the same time introduce Star City's Tanmaxi Capital." Lu Kai suggested along the way.

"Okay, this matter is up to you to take the lead."

Lu Kai is not only the rotating president, but also in charge of the group's investment business and overseas business. It is Lu Kai who assists the Green Orange Group in financing and deploying the Southeast Asian market.

"it is good."

Lu Kai also did his part, and immediately reported another matter, "Chairman, you reminded earlier that Xiami Music should strengthen the procurement of music copyrights. Xiami Music followed the instructions and started contact with Jewell. The negotiation was about to be completed." Yes, Tengda got the news and came in suddenly."

Originally, this kind of thing was not enough to say, and Lu Kai had to report to Zhang Shuo alone.

At most, it can be dealt with on Lu Qi's level.

It was just because Zhang Shuo had personally confessed this matter, and it involved his competitor Tengda. Lu Kai thought about it for a while, and took the opportunity of reporting work to report it by the way.

"Tengda wants to win Jewel's exclusive copyright?" Zhang Shuo frowned.

"The chairman is wise!"

Lu Kai patted his ass flatteringly, and explained: "After Tenda split up its online music business, it conducted a round of financing of up to 3 billion last month, and it is currently sharpening its sword."

"3 billion financing?"

Zhang Shuo was very surprised, surprised by Tengda's generosity.

For corporate financing, the higher the financing amount, the better. Especially in the previous rounds of financing, the higher the financing amount, the more equity will be sold.

Not the best choice.

"It is said that Tenda Music Group sold 28.5% of its shares in the A round of financing alone."

Lu Kai is well informed.

This also means that the valuation of Tenda Music Group can barely exceed 10 billion. Today, 13 years ago, when the music copyright is still unclear, it has already been given a very high valuation.

This can be seen.

Tengda should have reached a certain tacit agreement with the Thief Group, Scarlet Capital and other capitals, that is——

By increasing the valuation and reducing the number of financing by means of investment premium, it is hoped that Tenda Music Group will be "bigger and stronger" in the shortest possible time, and then promote Tenda Music Group to go public quickly.

Thus completing a round of rapid capital cash-out.

In the process of cutting leeks, Tenda acts as a carrier. If Tenda Music Group operates well in the future, that will be fine.

But if the stock price of Tenda Music Group continues to fall in the future, then Tenda will have to pay the bill with its own reputation.

There is no doubt that after the two pillars of social networking and games are suppressed, Tenda's business strategy will become more and more radical in the future, and it is doomed to be unable to replicate the success of the original space-time.

Returning to mediocrity is only a matter of time.

"Chairman, do you need to increase the quotation in response to Tengda's disruptive situation?" Lu Kai asked for instructions.

This is another contest between Germination and Tengda.

"It is not the best policy to rely solely on increasing the quotation."

Zhang Shuo usually doesn't like this kind of "premium". After thinking for a while, he said: "If you want to gain the initiative in the negotiation, you should find a way to carry out a more in-depth cooperation and binding with Jie Lun himself."

"For example, you can invite Jeron to be the spokesperson for the Dota 2 game."

"There is also Maili Group, which can also be considered to invite Jielun to be the spokesperson of Maili Mobile in Asia, and use Jielun's influence in Southeast Asia to deeply cultivate the Southeast Asian market."

"understood."

Lu Kai also understood.
