Sprinkle coins every day

Chapter 395 Budding shines in Southeast Asia, and the Mango Car is debuting!
Saturday, October 5.

Today is the third anniversary of the founding of Germination. According to the past practice, there is no special celebration event, but through Weixin, a special red envelope of 500 yuan is distributed to each of the Germination employees.

With the current staff size of the Germinal Department, this is almost a small goal.

Because of this kind of bonus, according to Germinal's practice, it is all stuck to the end, and the workers of the electronics factory, the delivery boy, etc. are all within the scope of the reward.

Although the salaries are different, they are also budding employees who are serious.

All should be treated equally.

Although there is no employee stock ownership or equity incentives, Germination has never been stingy when it comes to welfare benefits, including festival allowances, heatstroke prevention and cooling allowances, overtime pay, year-end bonuses, etc.

It can even be said to be very generous.

With China's current development status, overtime work is inevitable, but overtime pay is absolutely sufficient.

There is no such thing as exploitation.

In the employee protection plan formulated by Jiang Yue, insurance is purchased for each employee, a serious illness relief fund, family leave, and annual company medical examinations are organized and other welfare guarantees.

In this area, it can definitely be called a model in the industry.

otherwise.

It is impossible for a sprout in rapid development to have such a strong cohesion.

night.

Zhang Shuo invited all executives to have a dinner together, which is a small-scale celebration.

During the banquet, we talked about employee benefits and guarantees. Zhang Shuo smiled and said to Jiang Yue: "Unknowingly, the company has been established for three years, and we can add some new benefits and guarantees, such as company travel or something."

"Every year in the future, um, every two years, organize a company group tour."

"Boss atmosphere!"

Of course Jiang Yue was very supportive, and asked with a smile, "Is it starting this year, or two years later?"

"Of course it's this year, but it has to be staggered. Half this year, half next year."

After two years, the day lily was cold.

The employees below will scold their mothers.

And with the current scale of the Germinal Department, it seems that it is too crowded to arrange it all in one year.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Jiang Yue smiled and wrote down, which subsidiary company is this year and which subsidiary company is next year is also very particular.

"In addition, on March [-] Women's Day, let's add a three-day travel benefit for female employees within the province." Zhang Shuo also pays special attention to the rights and interests of female employees.

"Boss atmosphere!"

As a woman, Jiang Yue is of course more supportive.

.........

Monday, May 5.

The past weekend can be described as turbulent, with many major events happening.

First, Qingcheng Group successfully completed the C round of financing with a super-high valuation of 1100 billion yuan, sold a total of 15% of its shares, and obtained a huge development fund of 165 billion yuan.

The funds will be mainly used for new business operations and overseas development.

Compared with the B round of financing a year ago, in the past year, Qingcheng Group has continued to expand its various businesses and opened up many new businesses. It has become a giant in the local life service track in the Chinese market.

During the period, a capital increase of tens of billions was also carried out.

In view of this, the overall valuation of Qingcheng Group has also soared from 750 billion to 1100 billion.

The investment institutions participating in this round of financing include not only old friends such as Lingnan Provincial Investment, Binhai City Investment, and Ping'an, but also upstarts such as Pirates Group and Tanmaxi, as well as many local giants in Southeast Asia.

It can be regarded as a bundled financing.

Otherwise, Qingcheng Group wouldn't say that it would sell 15% of its shares in one go.

After the financing is completed, the budding group's shareholding ratio in Qingcheng Group will be diluted from the original 64.05% to 54.44%, and it will still be the undisputed largest shareholder of Qingcheng Group.

This has also become the largest super financing in the history of Huaxia Internet.

The Qingcheng Group, whose valuation is as high as 10 billion, has not only completely surpassed the mold group of the original time and space, but also surpassed the old Internet company Wangyi in one fell swoop, and its "market value" is second only to the already listed Qiandu.

Become a veritable upstart giant in China's Internet industry.

Leaving aside the Germination Group, which is the parent company of Qingcheng, Qingcheng Group is already the Internet company with the highest "market capitalization" under the three giants of Ari, Tengda, and Qiandu in terms of "market value".

In contrast.

Whether it is Ahli Dianping or Nomi Dianping, the valuation is less than half of that of Qingcheng Group.

The gap is already obvious.

It's no wonder that as soon as the news of Qingcheng Group's financing came out, the Internet became lively again.

"Oh my god, Germination is really freaking out."

"People don't play with the Big Three anymore. Just relying on one of its subsidiaries, it is expected to launch a charge against the Big Three in terms of market value. How can this be compared?"

"Tengda: I always feel insulted."

"It's better not to overthrow Germind. Compared with the Big Three, there is still a huge gap between Qingcheng and the Big Three. Not to mention Ali, which has not yet been listed, Tengda and Qiandu alone have a market value of over 400 billion."

"It can only be said that there is a serious fault under the Big Three, which makes Qingcheng stand out too much."

"Wang Yi: This time it really has been connoted."

"It's true to say so, but have you ever thought about it, Qingcheng Group is actually not the highest quality subsidiary of Germination, and Maili Group is at the forefront."

"Really, if you don't say it, you forget it."

"In terms of profitability alone, Maili Group can compete with the Big Three, but it has neither financing nor listing, so it doesn't show itself. In fact, they are the real giants."

"Speaking of which, Germination is really crazy."

"It must be awesome. Didn't you hear what Meng Wang said? Bud's competitors are Samsung, Pingguo, and Weiruan, and their eyes are no longer limited to the three-acre land in China."

Netizens have just had their mouth cravings, but Ari, Tengda, and Qiandu are really nervous.

Among the Big Three.

Fortunately, Ari is betting on the local life service track, but it is not the core business of the group after all, and it has not invested too much money and resources in Ari Dianping.

It does not seek to say that Ahli Dianping must be the first in the industry, as long as it does not fall behind.

In essence, in Ahri’s strategic plan, the local life service business is just a supplement to the group’s e-commerce business, or in other words, it is a channel for Ahri’s e-commerce business to grab traffic.

Tengda and Qiandu are different.

Especially for Tenda, after undergoing major adjustments in its business structure, the local life service track is already one of the future tracks that Tenda is betting on.

Not long ago, it also joined hands with Qiandu and gritted its teeth to make a capital increase of up to 35 billion to Nomi Dianping. It is going to try to develop the shared bicycle business while consolidating the food delivery business.

result…

Before Nomi Dianping could make an effort, the Green Orange Group came here.

It is really shocking.

"Boss, Qingcheng Group has obtained a huge fund of 165 billion. If we are determined to fight a subsidy war with us, we will not be able to handle the food delivery business or shared bicycles." Lu Jian reminded in a low voice.

It's no wonder that Lu Jian has a guilty conscience, it's because the financial strength of the two companies is not at the same level.

The difference is four or five times.

"Don't start the bike-sharing business in a hurry, first concentrate the funds on the food delivery subsidy field. Look at Qingcheng's next actions, and then make further plans." The second master couldn't help rubbing his head again.

"I also feel that way."

Today's Lu Jian has long since lost the desire to compete with Germination.

.........

In addition to the financing of Qingcheng Group, just yesterday, Mango Automobile, which has been established for more than a year and has been out of the public's sight, finally made a "big" move——

An invitation letter was issued on the whole network.

Mango Auto will hold a global press conference on May 5 and officially launch the first concept car.

It also sparked a lot of discussion.

"Hold it, Mango Cars is serious, it really wants to build a car!"

"Of course it is serious. Which business do you think is not serious?"

"What I'm talking about is that Mango Auto was just engaged in research and development in a low-key manner before. As far as I know, since its establishment, Mango Auto has invested more than 200 billion before and after its inception."

"What a big dog!"

"What a big dog, compared to Qiandu spending tens of billions to buy 71 assistants, Mengya is willing to invest funds in manufacturing and seriously engage in research and development, isn't it good?"

"Qiandu: It's okay to ask me what to do?"

"Electric cars, do they really have a future? They won't be fooling people, right?"

"It's out upstairs. In the beautiful country, Teshila has been mass-produced. Do you think it is a PPT product?"

"That doesn't mean that electric vehicles will definitely have a future."

"That's right, isn't there still a lot of things that are being fooled by the beautiful country under the banner of environmental protection?"

"I don't know if it has a future, but at least it represents a new research and development direction, doesn't it?"

"I still believe in Germination."

"Mengya said before that it was going to make a mobile phone, but some people ridiculed it, so what's going on now?"

"A product produced by Bud, must be a boutique!"

"One size fits all. Mengya can make mobile phones, but not necessarily cars. That's a car, one of the masterpieces of heavy industry. Is this something that a company that made its fortune on the Internet can do?"

"It always feels unreliable."

"Whether it is reliable or not, it will be revealed after the press conference, let's wait and see!"

In 13, new energy vehicles are indeed still a novelty.

Even as early as ten years ago, Biati began to enter the field of new energy vehicles, and launched a pure electric taxi in Binhai City in 10 years.

In 11, a pure electric bus was launched.

However, in the field of family cars, the concept of new energy vehicles has not yet been popularized, and even on a global scale, the prospects for the existence of such vehicles as Teshila are also unclear.

No one can imagine that electric vehicles will become popular in just five or six years.

Especially in the Chinese market, relying on a sound automobile industry chain, the new energy automobile company headed by Biati, together with many new car-making forces, will subvert the entire automobile industry in one fell swoop.

After decades of hard work to complete the joint venture company, there is no such thing as a great achievement.

And all this.

It's still dark before dawn.

Mango Auto is like an assassin walking through the dark night. After more than a year of night travel in brocade clothes, it is finally going to the center of the stage, vowing to pierce the decay and recreate the glory!
.........

In addition to good news, there is also some bad news.

Mainly related to the charm arrowhead.

However, after Meijian lost the qualification to obtain the authorization of fingerprint unlocking technology, the founder Lan Zhang, who has been reclusive behind the scenes, finally couldn't bear it anymore and chose to leave the mountain ahead of time.

Just came out of the mountain.

Lan Zhang announced that he would start investment negotiations with Ari. He wanted to introduce a new investor, Ari, and he was determined to complete a deep bond with Big Brother.

And in order to complete the cut with Germinal, Meizhuan also announced that it will withdraw from Candle Dragon Technology.

Gaotong chips will still be used in the future.

Between the words, it seems that he also said some bad things about the level of Zhulong chip.

Questioned in disguise.

Although this incident did not cause much disturbance on the Internet, it caused a wave in the industry.

It depends on how Germination responds.

After reading the news and briefings, Zhang Shuo came to the meeting room next door to attend the meeting on Monday. The first thing he discussed was the matter of Meizhuo's withdrawal from Candle Dragon Technology.

"Chairman, do you want to transfer the shares in Zhulong Technology held by Meizhuo to Qiku? Qiku has already expressed that it is very interested in this part of the shares." Gu Mingzhang asked for instructions.

Last October.

Candle Dragon Technology started its A-round financing with a valuation of 250 billion. Huawei, Xiaomi, OV, Huaxia Microelectronics and Modu Chengtou each subscribed for 5%, and Meizhuo subscribed for 2%.

According to the investment agreement signed jointly, if the six companies or institutions participating in the financing want to withdraw midway, Dao Sui Group will have the priority to purchase.

In other words.

Even if the shares in Meizhu's hands were to be sold, they could not be sold casually.

"Qiku..." Zhang Shuo thought about this company with an uncertain future, thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, let the Dao Sui Group buy it at the original price first."

"it is good."

Gu Mingzhang was a little surprised, he couldn't figure it out, the big boss had helped Qiku before, why didn't he seem to trust Qiku very much?

Could it be because of Meizuo's "betrayal" that she became more cautious?

This is understandable.

After all, before this, even Gu Mingzhang did not expect that Meizhuo would be so stubborn.

Just quit.

"Where is the progress of the Zhulong Z1 chip?" Zhang Shuo asked with concern.

"The GDS II file completed by the design team has been officially delivered to TEC. TEC is making final preparations for the trial production of the Z1 chip. It is expected that samples will be available as soon as next month."

"very good."

For the Zhulong Z1 chip, Zhang Shuo is still very confident.

This is not only because the predecessor of Candle Dragon Technology integrated Zhanxun and RDA, two leading chip design companies in the industry, but also because he personally gave clear instructions on the design architecture of the Candle Dragon Z1 chip.

Compared with other mobile phone chips, Candle Dragon Z1 will adopt 64bit ARMv8 architecture for the first time.

This is a sharp weapon for Pingguo in the future.

Not surprisingly, Zhang Shuo, the thief, stole it in advance.

so.

It is definitely an extremely stupid decision for Meijian to withdraw from Zhulong Technology and give up the Z1 chip at this time.

"By the way, Chairman, Qiku also mentioned one thing, saying that Germination or Maili Group is welcome to invest in Qiku. How should we respond to this matter?"

When Gu Mingzhang asked this question, he was obviously a little moved.

Because if you invest in Qiku, it means that Maili Group can take the opportunity to enter the low-end market.

Qiku naturally has its own ideas.

It is nothing more than wanting to take the opportunity to deeply bind with Maili Group to obtain Maili's technical support.

"Reject it."

Zhang Shuo is hard-hearted, "I promised before that Maili mobile phone will never enter the low-end market and compete with Xiaomi and others, which naturally includes this kind of disguised entry."

If Maili Group really wants to enter the low-end market, it doesn't even need to invest in Qiku.

You can do it yourself.

Judging from the future market size of smartphones, doing so can indeed make a lot of money, just like Warwick in the original space-time, all high, high, and low end.

Just that way.

First of all, it will be alienated from Xiaomi, OV and other friends, and secondly, it will detonate the vicious competition and price war of domestic mobile phones in advance, which is not good news for the entire industry.

Zhang Shuo still has this overall perspective.

"Ok."

Gu Mingzhang was also a little worried at first, but after hearing what the boss said, he gave up completely.

On the contrary, Zhang Shuo took the initiative to mention another matter, and said with a smile: "As Mango Motors is about to release the first concept car, the company level should also be mentioned."

In other words.

Naturally, it is necessary to upgrade Mango Automobile to Mango Group and become a group-level subsidiary.

"agree!"

Executives such as Lu Qi and Gu Mingzhang have no objection.

If Mango Auto is going to be mass-produced, not to mention the level of profitability, the revenue is definitely meager. In addition, there are many categories involved in the auto industry, so it is indeed necessary to upgrade to a group company.

It is also convenient for Mango Auto to carry out business in the future.

.........

During the reunion, the secretary Dai Yutong knocked on the door and came in, "Chairman, it's almost time."

"Don't worry, I'm watching the time."

Zhang Shuo glanced at his watch, looked up and looked around, and said with a smile: "Then today's meeting will be here first."

"Chairman, have a good trip!"

Gu Mingzhang and other executives are naturally aware of the next itinerary of the big boss.

But it is to rush to Star City.

Before, when it was decided to increase the expansion of the Southeast Asian market, it decided to register and establish a regional company in the "brain" Star City in Southeast Asia under the name of Sunshine Holdings.

To fully connect with the market development tasks in Southeast Asia.

In order to show his importance to the Southeast Asian market and also to show his determination to develop overseas business, Zhang Shuo will personally go to Star City to attend the unveiling ceremony of the new company.

Lu Kai has already rushed to make arrangements in advance.

.........

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Zhang Shuo and his party landed at Xingcheng International Airport.

Lu Kai brought someone to pick him up.

They also came together with a vice president of investment sent by Tan Maxi, who regarded Zhang Shuo very seriously.

Stayed at the Golden Sands Hotel.

It was also a coincidence that when Zhang Shuo and his party arrived at the hotel lobby, they ran into an "acquaintance" head-on.

"Jelen!"

Zhang Shuo took the initiative to say hello, which was a bit like star chasing.

"boss Zhang!!!"

As the spokesperson for the Asian region who has just been signed by Maili Group, Jie Lun has naturally done his homework. Although he has never seen Zhang Shuo himself before, he has seen the photos.

So it was instantly recognized.

Jie Lun didn't dare to neglect, took the initiative to trot forward, shook hands with Zhang Shuo enthusiastically, and also took the initiative to explain his itinerary, "I just came yesterday, and I will have a concert in Star City tonight."

"Tonight?"

Zhang Shuo immediately became interested, "Can I participate? I'm your fan."

"It's my pleasure!"

As Jie Lun said, he took a handbag from his assistant and handed it to Zhang Shuo: "This is my autographed record. If Mr. Zhang doesn't mind it, please accept it."

"Thank you!"

Zhang Shuo took it with a smile. This star chasing treatment is definitely the best match.

After Jie Lun and his party left, Lu Kai said with a smile: "I heard that Jie Lun planned this Southeast Asia tour immediately after signing the Asian spokesperson for Maili Mobile."

"Ah."

Zhang Shuo nodded slightly, this spokesperson was very distracted.

That night.

Sure enough, Zhang Shuo went to the concert site to support Jie Lun, and was "accidentally" photographed by reporters, and became a piece of gossip in Star City, and even the entire Southeast Asia.

After all, with Zhang Shuo's current status, walking in any corner of the world is the focus.

Unknowingly.

Further boosted the popularity of Sprout in the Southeast Asian market.

On the contrary, the next morning, Zhang Shuo attended the unveiling ceremony of "Sunshine Holdings (Star City) Co., Ltd.", which seemed a little calm. The purpose of his trip itself, attending the ceremony was only a superficial reason, mainly to meet some business leaders. .

It was not until the third day that we returned to Binhai City.

.........

After returning to Binhai City, Zhang Shuo rested for a while, and rushed to Shanghai without stopping.

Just like the previous Maili mobile phone conference, Mango Auto's first new car conference will also be presided over by Zhang Shuo, chairman and CEO of the Germination Group.

in order.

It is to attract the attention of the global media as much as possible and create momentum for Mango Auto.

After all, with Zhang Shuo's current status and popularity, even if he is not as good as the previous leader Joe, or compared to the current Teshila Laoma, it is definitely more than enough in the world.

There is no reason why Zhang Shuo can't play games that Lao Ma can play well.
