Sprinkle coins every day

Chapter 402 Cute and savage all over the industry, Qingcheng Taxi is in trial operation, and Teshila is coming menacingly!
Germination's self-destruction behavior undoubtedly pushed itself to the forefront.

A crowd of netizens naturally clapped their hands and applauded, but the colleagues who were affected were full of curses, pushing the relationship with Mengya, which was not considered harmonious in the first place, to a frozen abyss.

"This kid Zhang Shuo really doesn't even want his face in order to win a position."

Uncle is the most angry.

In his view, Meng Ya's behavior is to vote for the official name, which is really shameless. The Internet field is already advertised as freedom, so how can it enforce supervision?

Letting go is king.

In less than [-] days, Ahri will be officially listed. Suddenly encountering such a mess is really not a good sign, and it made Ahri's lead underwriter, Thief Group, very nervous.

It is recommended that Ahri lower the issue price appropriately, so as not to be affected by negative news, and break the issue on the same day.

That would be too bad.

If the way of making money is blocked, it's no wonder that the uncle is so angry that he wants to throw his glass.

"Hey"

The second master, who had already had enough headaches recently, encountered such a bad thing again, and his head hurt even more.

Can't you stop for a while?
"Boss, I don't understand, what is Mengya trying to do?" Lu Jian couldn't help asking.

"What else can I plan? I just want to use this opportunity to step us all into the mud, weaken us, and at the same time strengthen the competitiveness of Sprout in the Internet field." The second master seems to see it very clearly.

Because it is obvious that Germination has some flaws in terms of personal privacy protection and data security, but it is already a benchmark among short people.

Naturally, he became the biggest beneficiary of this turmoil.

"Then, will the government really hit the board? Isn't this a common practice in the industry?"

"Who knows."

After the incident happened, the second master had immediately inquired about the news with his acquaintances, but almost all of them got hesitant and very vague answers.

It can be seen that this matter is still covered by clouds and fog.

The Big Three are pretty good. Some small and medium-sized Internet companies are even more unscrupulous in this area. In this investigation, there are bound to be failures.

Everyone was so angry that they wanted to scold their mothers.

.........

Zhang Shuo himself, who was in the vortex, was calm and composed, and even accepted an exclusive interview with Tang Yu, a reporter from Binbao News Agency, for the first time, specifically talking about this matter.

Inside the office.

Tang Yu, dressed in professional attire, was sitting upright, not at all playful as usual.

It can be seen that it has been experienced.

"Mr. Zhang, can you talk about the original intention of Mengya to release the open letter?" Tang Yu asked.

"No original intention."

Zhang Shuo is not stupid. Just doing and not talking are two different things, and doing and talking are two different things. "Issuing an open letter to users is a routine operation in business activities. It is not alone in Sprout. Please don't over-interpret it."

Germinal is already cruel enough, but Zhang Shuo dare not add fuel to the fire.

Stupid or not.

"But there was a burst of applause for Mengya on the Internet." Tang Yu continued to play tricks.

"That can only prove that Huaxia users have a strong sense of justice and can resolutely defend their own interests, and say no to those who violate their own interests." Zhang Shuo is not fooled.

This is true.

In the past two years, under the leadership of Zhang Shuo, the king of hatred, netizens have become more and more sharp.

"Then, can you talk about your views on personal privacy and data security? Now there is a voice from the outside world that too strict censorship will impact the enthusiasm for innovation and entrepreneurship in the Internet industry. What do you think?"

Tang Yu came with a mission this time, and he had to dig deep for information.

I don't have any dry goods, but I can't make a deal.

"The budding self-monitoring and self-criticism has already represented my own attitude."

Zhang Shuo still dealt with it as soon as he could, but he also took the opportunity to make some noise, and changed the topic, "As for the negative public opinion and worries about supervision, I personally think that there is no need to do so."

"In the long run, a healthy, orderly and rule-abiding Internet environment is more conducive to the long-term development of Internet companies, rather than a short-lived one."

"If a company does anything just because the government regulates the supervision of the collection of users' personal information, it can only prove that the company itself is not good enough and does not have real competitiveness."

"If such a company is eliminated, it will be eliminated. There is nothing to regret."

"It is good that the Internet needs to flourish, but what is needed is not speculators who exploit loopholes, but companies that are steadfast in innovation and R&D, and such companies have never been afraid of supervision."

This is said with great vigor and sincerity.

If Huaxia Internet companies are always satisfied with introversion at the application level and do not pay attention to underlying innovation, after the wave of mobile Internet recedes, more will fall down.

The original space-time is like this.

With the passage of time, giants such as Qiandu, Ali, and Tengda, which were once brilliant, have gradually become mediocre, and they have not come up with any impressive innovations.

Even if the latecomers are struggling and jumping characters, they are just repeating the old path of the Big Three.

It is really disappointing.

"According to this, Germination supports the strengthening of personal information collection and data security supervision?"

"Of course!"

Zhang Shuo answered firmly, "The Internet is not a place outside the law, and it should have boundaries. Since there are boundaries, it is necessary to set up a firewall instead of unscrupulously harming the interests of users."

"That is to say, Mengya still has appeals for publishing an open letter. Do you want to use this as an opportunity to improve the industry's consensus on personal information protection?" Tang Yu did not forget to dig a hole.

"No, as I said just now, it's just a normal business operation."

Zhang Shuo didn't change his face.

"Ha ha……"

As soon as the interview was over, Tang Yu couldn't hold back anymore, and said in a low voice: "Brother, you are really an old fox now, and your words are watertight."

When Zhang Shuo talked with his second uncle last weekend, Tang Yuke was also there, and he knew the inside story very well.

It was simply negotiated.

"That was also forced by the media."

Zhang Shuo didn't want to be taken out of context. If it wasn't for Tang Yu, he wouldn't have accepted the interview.

At the end of the interview, Zhang Shuo raised his hand to check the time. It was just time for lunch. He smiled and said to Tang Yu who was opposite him, "Let's go, treat you to dinner."

"Okay, have a big meal?" Tang Yu's eyes lit up.

"What big meal, eat in the company cafeteria."

"It's boring!"

Tang Yu wilted immediately, but when he arrived at the cafeteria, he saw the dazzling array of dishes, and was so envious that he almost salivated, "Wuuuu, brother, the food at Germination is too good."

The Binhai Poster Agency where she works has already considered good benefits, but it is nothing compared to Germination.

"It's okay, just some home-cooked food." Zhang Shuo is very Versailles.

In fact, Germination canteens are famous in the industry for their delicious food. Not only are the chefs skilled, but the key raw materials are strictly controlled, safe, hygienic and organic.

The trick is that Zhang Shuo, the big boss, always eats in the cafeteria when he works in the company, and he never does anything special, such as private rooms or small stoves.

Eat the same meals as the employees.

In this way, the logistics staff in charge of managing the cafeteria dare not be careful, but if Zhang Shuo has a problem once, he will be kicked out.

Over time, the canteen standard has been maintained above the standard line.

.........

The next day, Tang Yu's interview article appeared on the front page of Binhai Daily, and the relevant report was spread on the Internet at the first time. Not surprisingly, it also attracted a burst of applause from netizens.

"Meng Wang is humble!"

"I doubt very much that the open letter that sprouted was intentional at all."

"Be confident and put aside doubts."

"So what if it was intentional? I just hope that Meng Wang's damn sense of mission will always be in the same camp as us users, and not be alienated by capital."

"Meng Wang: What is capital, is it richer than me? (dog head)"

"With Meng Wang's current wealth, he can indeed be detached, without worrying about being bought by capital."

"I hope the Big Three can also learn from it."

"Tengda: I want to learn too, but it doesn't count if I say it (dog head)..."

"Let's stop wishful thinking. These Internet companies need to be whipped by the government to make them realize that this is in China, not a place where capital can do whatever they want."

"I can't agree more!"

Netizens' approval is undoubtedly putting a talisman on Germination, even if other colleagues are hostile, so what?As long as Germination can continue to gain the support of users, it will be able to stand tall forever.

.........

Monday, May 7.

Regardless of the online turmoil, life must go on.

A new week is also a new month. Early in the morning, after Zhang Shuo arrived at the company, according to the usual practice, he began to sign and approve the appropriation application for July.

Because entering the third quarter, there are many additional appropriation items, mainly including——

Allocate 8 billion research and development funds to the Fertile Research Institute;
Allocate 25 billion operating funds to Mango Group, including 8 billion research and development funds;
Appropriate 25 billion operating funds to Dao Sui Group, including 10 billion research and development funds;
Appropriate 8 million operating funds to Pinxixi Group;
Appropriate 5 million operating funds to Sunshine Holdings;
Appropriate 5 million operating funds to Sprout Group;
Appropriate 1.5 million construction funds to Mengya Real Estate.

A total of 77.5 billion funds.

Inaosui Group has not only the 40nm foundry project under the name of Weijing Semiconductor, but also the chip packaging and testing factory project under Licheng Technology, and the daily operating expenses are very large.

R&D expenditure has also risen from [-] million last month to one billion in one fell swoop.

It can be said to be the most expensive subsidiary of Sprout.

Even so, the R&D budget of one billion yuan per month is still a bit stretched for an emerging semiconductor giant like Inao Group.

It is necessary to meet the current technology research and development, but also to focus on the future.

If the supply is relaxed, let alone a monthly funding of one billion, even if it is 1.5 billion or even 2 billion, as long as enough researchers are recruited, it can be digested.

Because of Pinxixi Group's participation in the 618 event, the related operating budget has also increased steadily.

And Sunshine Holdings.

As the main body supporting the overseas market development of Bud series, marketing expenditure is also a large expenditure.

All together, the monthly appropriation is close to 8 billion.

The general company really can't bear it.

In addition to the fixed allocation, Sprout also allocated an additional 55.6 billion yuan to Inaosui Group last month to participate in the investment of Tairui Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Thai Electromechanical.

Profit.

Last month, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment turned in a profit of 47 billion, Maili Group turned in a profit of 45 billion, Qinghe Technology turned in a profit of 3.5 million, and Germination Financial Holdings turned in a profit of 4.5 million.

The total turned over profit is 10 billion, a new high.

This is mainly due to the continuous rise in the profit of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, whose monthly profit once again surpassed that of Maili Group.

Although the sales volume of Maili X1 is still declining, thanks to the expansion of the Southeast Asian market and the increase in profits from software services, the overall profit of Maili Group has not declined significantly.

Compared with last month, it has only decreased by 0.5 million.

In addition to the two major profit pillars of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and Maili Group, the profitability of Qinghe Technology and Sprout Financial Holdings has also steadily increased.

In particular, Qinghe Technology, benefiting from the continuous growth of its advertising business, has turned in a profit of 3.5 million in a single month.

You must know that Qinghe Technology bears the operating expenses of Weixin and Feixun. On the basis of huge expenses, it can also achieve a monthly net profit of [-] million+, which is really not easy.

As for Sprout Financial Holdings, thanks to the widespread popularity of Weixin Payment, related businesses are also on the rise, and the profit is expected to exceed [-] million next month.

It is no wonder that both Ari and Tengda will bet on the Internet financial business.

Because it's really making money.

--slightly--

[Level]: Level 10 (3450 million/5000 million)
[Cash]: 108 billion

[Loans]: 145 billion (bank loans) + 110 billion (corporate bonds) + 84 billion (overseas loans)

--slightly--

Because of the investment in Tyrue Semiconductor, Sprout had a net outflow of 33 billion last month. If it hadn’t been for the urgent issuance of 10 billion corporate bonds, the cash would have bottomed out.

Maybe not even next month.

Therefore, Zhang Shuo's nervousness about the capital chain before was definitely not without reason.

The main reason is that there are too many gold-absorbing beasts under the group.

Mengya Real Estate, Sunshine Holdings, Pinxixi Group, Mango Group, and Dao Sui Group can burn more money than the other. If they were not supported by the two pillar businesses of games and mobile phones, they would have been stretched.

But the money must be burned.

I heard Brother Dong say that when I open my eyes every day, I have to worry about spending [-] million that day. If I can’t earn [-] million that day and maintain a balance of payments, Jingdong will suffer a loss on the book.

But compared with Germination, it's nothing.

You must know that the monthly appropriation signed by Zhang Shuo alone for the Germination Group is as high as 7 billion, with an average of [-] million+ per day, and this does not include the normal expenses of subsidiaries that have already achieved profitability.

Like Maili Group and Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, daily expenses are deducted from revenue.

If everything is counted, the entire Germination Department spends on R&D, operations, general administrative expenses, etc. every day, plus various taxes and fees, it is conservatively estimated to be more than [-] million.

This is really scary.

Managing such a huge comprehensive group company, which is related to the livelihood of 200,000 employees, Zhang Shuo sits in the position of chairman and CEO, so how dare he really drift away.

.........

After signing the documents, Zhang Shuo got used to browsing the news again.

Discussions on the protection of personal information on the Internet are still raging, especially after his interview was released, it has added fuel to the fire, and there is no shortage of crusade against the Big Three.

As for the official censorship, of course, the results will not come out so quickly.

However, in Zhang Shuo's view, this large-scale official review is more like a thorough investigation. Only after the situation is fully understood can we formulate targeted regulations.

In the end, it must be handled with care, so as not to be heavy handed.

More of a warning.

Just as some people worry, the government still needs to take into account the vigorous development of the entire industry, and it is not necessary to raise the sword of Damocles hanging over the head during the period of rapid development.

After the regulations are promulgated, it will be difficult to say if there is a recidivism.

In addition to the big hot spots, news came out last weekend that Teshila had sent a team to Shanghai to register the company while preparing to negotiate with Shanghai.

Obviously also felt the threat from Mango Auto.

The Modu side is naturally very enthusiastic, and they didn't reject Teshila because of the existence of Mango Cars. It's just that the conditions offered will definitely not be as generous as the original time and space.

Moreover, the negotiations between the two parties will certainly not be completed overnight.

Zhang Shuo didn't feel that Tesla was a big threat at this time, especially since Mango Motors was still fighting locally. If it couldn't crush Tesla, it would be called a failure.

.........

After browsing the news, seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Shuo came to the small conference room next door.

Lu Kai and other executives are already in place.

With the start of a new month, there are many things going on in the group. For example, the Green Orange Group, after promoting the launch of the Green Orange bicycle business, will officially launch the "Qingcheng Taxi Taxi" project this month.

This is nothing new.

Not to mention the overseas Youbu, the domestic Tick has been established as early as last year, but it first cooperated with taxis, and has not yet expanded the taxi service to the private car field.

And in April this year, Tick has completed the B round of financing.

Main vote by Tengda.

There is no doubt that Tick is interested in the traffic and payment system of Tenda ICQ and Weichat.

It can be used immediately.

Originally, Tick had also found Mengya, and hoped to cooperate with Mengya.

Compared with Tengda, Mengya has more abundant resources. Unlike Tenda's sale of the map business, Mengya is still the major shareholder of Artemisia Maps.

It can be said to have what you want.

It's a pity that at that time, Qingcheng Group was already developing the "Qingcheng taxi" function internally, and had no interest in cooperating with a start-up company like Tick.

Zhang Shuo himself does not want to have any relationship with ticking.

Most importantly, as the local life service platform with the deepest foundation in China and the widest range of businesses, Qingcheng has accumulated a large number of users and a good reputation.

Compared with ticking, it has natural advantages.

It just so happens that the target customers of the taxi-hailing business are mainly white-collar workers, which fits very well with the target groups of Qingcheng Takeaway and Qingcheng Bike, and it can be promoted smoothly without much publicity.

It can be said that it has taken advantage of the right time, place and people.

The premise is to get through the policy links. The biggest obstacle in the early stage of the taxi business is not from the users, but from the "natural enemy" taxis, which is tantamount to changing the lives of taxis.

It's strange not to be in a hurry.

Of course, the facts of the original time and space prove that the two sides can actually coexist "peacefully".

The general trend cannot be changed!

Although the taxi-hailing service of the original time and space had some problems, in essence, this is indeed a way of "technology changing life".

Don't give up eating because of choking.

"Qingcheng taxi-hailing business will also adopt a pilot system, and it is going to be trial run in Yangcheng and Binhai City first."

The person who reported was Lu Qi, vice president of the group and chairman of Qingcheng Group.

"Well, it's best to coordinate well with the local taxi companies and try to avoid major conflicts. In addition, we must strictly control the review of private car owners."

"If the progress is too slow, I'm afraid Ahli and Tengda will follow suit again." Lu Qi expressed his concern.

This is almost inevitable.

Looking at the development history of Ali Dianping and Nomi Dianping, it is almost a history of plagiarism from Qingcheng Group, from the earliest food delivery business to the later shared bicycles and shared charging treasures.

Almost copied it all over.

"Let's learn. Just like the takeaway business before, Qingcheng Group neither seeks monopoly nor market share. We would rather slow down, be conservative, and make sure we don't make mistakes."

Greed is the original sin, Zhang Shuo dare not touch it.

"In this case, I'm afraid there will be some resistance from the board of directors." Lu Qi reminded.

After several rounds of financing, although Germination Group is still the controlling shareholder of Green Orange Group, it has attracted many investors after all, and their opinions cannot be completely ignored.

Otherwise there will be problems.

"How to coordinate with the board of directors is the responsibility of you, the chairman."

Zhang Shuo directly blamed Lu Qi, "Just remember one thing, whether it's shared bicycles or taxi services, it sounds good, but it's actually the same thing."

It is inconceivable that Tick of the original space-time has developed into a giant with only such a business.

Is there any technical content?

At best, it is a small technical innovation, nothing more.

"The positioning of Qingcheng Group has always been to be a comprehensive service Internet company that meets all the local needs of users, and does not need to be top-notch in a certain business."

What is tested is actually the precise control and excavation of user needs.

And want to be successful.

To be honest, it is difficult to do without a little emotion in it.

Zhang Shuo didn't have much interest in these non-technical businesses, but he didn't want Tengda to do evil, so he chose to end it himself.

For Germination, the really meaningful thing is to engage in research and development.

Mastering the core technology is king.

This also means that Qingcheng Group will not participate in the crazy subsidy war, whether in the bike-sharing business or in the taxi-hailing business.

Continue to play an outlier on the local life service track.

If Tengda and Ari are willing to burn money, let them burn it. If they really want to be so superstitious about the power of capital, the ending of time and space may be the best answer.

Germination doesn't play with them.

Isn't it good to spend this money on research and development?
When it came to research and development, Zhang Shuo thought of another matter, looked up at Lu Kai, and asked with concern: "Have you got the feasibility analysis report on the group's involvement in commercial spaceflight?"
