Chapter 404 Public opinion reverses again, Germina must prove his innocence!
Germination's second "self-explosion" directly broke the leg of a colleague.

"Shameless!!"

Those companies that were exposed were gnashing their teeth angrily, but they didn't know how to act.

The key is--

After being exposed, the number of daily active users of the app dropped exponentially, and the Android and IOS malls were full of negative reviews. The download volume, which was not considered high, was about to become uninterested.

How is this broken?
"Sprout is simply a devil, a cancer in the industry!!!"

But just enjoying their mouths can't save their lives. Some company executives with softer bodies had to lick their faces and beg Qinghe Technology to remove their company's name from the blacklist.

"Let's continue to use Feixun, can't we?"

The answer given by Qinghe Technology is——

"The blacklist is updated once a month, let's talk about it next month."

Cry to death.

What about real-time updates?Why only once a month.

These companies are so depressed that they are going crazy, but they can only wait patiently and grit their teeth to get through this month.

The intention of Qinghe Technology is actually very clear.

If a company on the blacklist asks for a door-to-door initiative, then you can really consider saying that the Internet is lenient, so as not to be blacklisted forever. Although it is cool to do so, it seems too domineering.

Not necessarily a good thing.

But it can't be revoked immediately, one is to teach these companies a profound lesson, and the other is that the list was updated yesterday, and if it is revoked today, there is no way to explain it to the outraged netizens.

Stand at attention when you are beaten!

The trick that Gu Mingzhang came up with really had a miraculous effect.

Let’s not talk about the companies in their early years. Now everyone’s intestines are green with regret, and those who are not rash are also scared to death. They are secretly glad that they didn’t act impulsively and make wild noises.

Even a little gloating.

The Internet industry's first large-scale boycott against the sprouts naturally collapsed on its own.

.........

Tenda Building.

In this round of reversal turmoil, because Tenda has never used Feixun, it was also picked up by netizens and actively added to the blacklist, which was also resisted.

It can be said that it has suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

"Boss, do you want to issue a clarification statement?"

When he said this, Lu Jian was very depressed, what is going on, it was obviously caused by Meng Ya, and Teng Da was also one of the "victims", but now he wants to make a fuss for Meng Ya.

But it’s not okay if you don’t clarify.

At present, the public opinion is so fierce that even a giant like Tengda cannot bear the price of the decline in the daily activities of its own apps such as Weichat, Tengda News, and Tengda Video.

The loss must be stopped in time.

The second master was about to agree, when Feng Yu knocked on the door and came in, with a strange expression on his face, he said, "Boss, just received the news, Germination has taken the initiative to clarify the situation for us."

"..."

Erye and Lu Jian looked at each other, feeling more complicated.

"This germination, what about playing monkey?"

Lu Jian and the others were obviously aggrieved, but they didn't know how to vent it, so they were really manipulated.

.........

But as the saying goes: where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Although the budding blacklist system deterred some colleagues, it also completely offended a group of colleagues. Some people were very dissatisfied with the budding domineering behavior, and they were secretly planning new counterattacks.

This is destined to be a protracted battle.

First, so-called experts, scholars, and big Vs spoke out one after another on the scarf, implying that the budding series of operations were suspected of kidnapping public opinion, and were not done by gentlemen.

"Isn't this turning the business into a fan circle? It's too bad!"

Others accused that the establishment of the blacklist system in Mengya was actually abusing its dominant position in the market.

"It appears to be a blacklist, but it is actually a kill list!"

"There is no doubt that Weixin's germination has monopolized the discourse power of Huaxia Mobile Internet in a sense, so many Internet companies that rely on Weixin's traffic to survive dare not speak out."

"So, the dragon slayer must become a dragon after all?"

Afterwards, some people directly pointed to the fate of Germination, thinking that in terms of personal privacy and information security protection, Weixin and Feixun under Germination are the biggest hidden dangers because they support file transfer functions.

"Is it possible for the company's secrets to be stolen by Germination?"

Even Li Hu, the chairman of Geely Automobile, has a rare end, saying that he dare not let the company's employees use Weixin, Feixun and other tools to transfer technical documents to prevent leaks.

"Using Weixin is equivalent to showing the company's secrets to Mengya."

Given Li Hu's rank in the business circle, as soon as these words came out, the sprouts were pushed to the forefront, and many netizens also expressed similar concerns.

"Should I say it or not, it's really scary."

"I just had a video chat with a girl late last night, won't it be flagged?"

"Yeah, how can Germina prove his innocence?"

"The so-called self-destruction before Germination, isn't it a guilty conscience, or is it trying to cover up?"

"Okay, Meng Wang is also going to collapse!!!"

Of course, some netizens retorted, "Speaking of the file transfer function, ICQ is the originator of this aspect, right? Everyone has used ICQ for office work for more than ten years. Why did no one worry about this before?"

"That is, can it be said that Germination's bottom line can be lower than Tengda's?"

"Tengda: It's none of my business, don't @我..."

Tengda, who has been paying attention to the development of the situation, is indeed trembling when he sees the flames of war suddenly burnt to the "file transfer" function.

The city gate catches fire, which brings disaster to the fish in the pond.

As netizens said, when it comes to the "file transfer" function and album collection, Tenda is the originator of this aspect, especially in the PC era, only the ICQ space stores countless photos.

That is the youth of a generation.

If someone uncovers this old account, then Tengda will not be able to clear it up.

The second master of the original space-time also generously admitted that Tenda has mastered the data of nearly one billion users' circle of friends, photo albums, etc., and can easily give users portraits.

This is indeed a terrifying ability.

But now, the second master only wanted to say that the flames of war should not be burned on Tengda.

Can't be provoked, can't you hide?
"If it's such an exaggeration, Tenda would have become a universe company long ago. As for being reduced to today?"

"Tengda: My mother..."

I always feel humiliated, what's going on?

"In my opinion, some people are sensationalists, or they are jealous of Mengya and deliberately slander."

"You can't say that, Weixin has a risk of information leakage, is it true?"

There are still people holding on to it.

There is a lot of noise on the Internet about this, which pushes this bud to the cusp of the storm again.

.........

"Chairman, I'm afraid that someone is behind the scenes to fuel the flames."

The reversal of public opinion on the Internet made it necessary for Germination to respond internally. Zhang Shuo immediately called Lu Qi, the vice president in charge of the Internet business, to the office.

"This is normal."

Zhang Shuo was very calm.

Allowing Germination to use public opinion to fight back naturally requires mental preparations to be backlashed by public opinion. No one can only enjoy the dividends of public opinion without bearing the price.

Just like those celebrities, Internet celebrities, and anchors, they rely on traffic dividends to make a living.

But once the car overturns.

It will be backlashed by the traffic, cast aside by public opinion, and unable to stand up again.

Because of this, under normal circumstances, Zhang Shuo would not try to sway public opinion, or even use public opinion to seek certain benefits, which is cool in the short term.

But in the long run, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

"Since the outside world has raised doubts about the information security of Weixin and Feixun, we should respond to the doubts openly." Zhang Shuo is still very confident.

Germinal dared to blew himself up, which proved that he could stand the test.

As for who is behind the scenes and fueling the flames, it doesn't matter at all.

Just a jumping clown.

"If it's just our unilateral self-certification, I'm afraid it will be difficult to dispel users' doubts." Lu Qi expressed his concern.

"What about your opinion?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"I suggest introducing an authoritative third party. It has been a year since Qingyun Data's A round of financing, you can consider starting the B round of financing, and take advantage of the situation to introduce authoritative investment institutions such as SDIC to strengthen the supervision of Qingyun Data."

"alright."

In fact, at the end of last year, Qingyun Data just carried out a capital increase of 4 billion. This year, there was no need for financing, but in view of the changes in the situation, Zhang Shuo decided to adopt Lu Qi's suggestion.

It also intends to further cede control of Qingyun Data.

Those who accuse Weixin and Feixun of data security are essentially questioning Qingyun Data, which is responsible for data storage, because they are in the same budding system and shield each other.

How to raise funds, of course, is still in charge of operation by Lu Kai.

.........

Blink of an eye to the weekend.

Coincidentally, Zhang Shuo bumped into the second uncle again at the old man's place.

"I heard that Germination is going to enter the commercial aerospace field?" The second uncle Tang Yi really has all eyes and hands, Nebula Technology is still going through the registration process, and has already received the news.

It also proved from the side that Tang Yi paid special attention to Germination's every move.

"There is such a plan."

Zhang Shuo did not deny it, and talked about his views on the development prospects of the commercial aerospace field with great interest.

"You can really toss."

Tang Yi shook his head amusedly, and really couldn't figure out where Zhang Shuo's energy came from.

He still remembers that when Zhang Shuo first founded Germination Capital, the three businesses of new retail, social networking, and games went hand in hand, and the key was to succeed.

Then came cloud computing, mobile phones, semiconductors, and new energy vehicles.

Now it is even more outrageous, and they want to engage in commercial spaceflight.

"I'm still so young, so I can't just guard my billions of dollars and wait for retirement, right? Why don't you make more troubles while you can?" Zhang Shuo is very Versailles.

"That makes sense."

Tang Yi thought about it too, who called Zhang Shuo less than thirty.

It's true that people can't get jealous.

"Are we able to arrange the funds? It is still very expensive to engage in commercial spaceflight." Tang Yi had received news before that Germination had discovered another 10 billion corporate debt.

It must be that the capital chain is tense again.

"Declaration in advance, don't even think about getting a loan from the bank." Tang Yi was vaccinated in advance.

"should be no problem."

Zhang Shuo chuckled, "The pace will be smaller in the early stage, and it won't cost much."

The commercial aerospace companies that emerged 15 years after the original time and space, the largest financing scale is only three to five billion yuan, which is incomparable with the financing of the Internet industry.

"That's good."

Only then did Tang Yi feel relieved, and worried that Germinal's capital chain would break, which would cause serious trouble.

.........

At night, Zhang Shuo accidentally received a message from his second uncle Weixin.

"This is the contact information of Mr. Shen, the person in charge of Huaxia Aerospace. I have already said hello. I will not participate in the specific cooperation and how to discuss it. You can do it yourself. I can only help here."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Zhang Shuo was very happy, and the second uncle really "spoiled" him.

As I said before, if Nebula Technology wants to take off, the first step is not only to recruit talents, but also to obtain a series of basic technology patent authorizations related to aerospace, otherwise there is no way to start.

As for the accumulation of aerospace patented technology, it is none other than Huaxia Aerospace, the giant.

With Zhang Shuo's current status, he can also contact Huaxia Aerospace directly, but after all, it is not as good as the second uncle who greeted him, and can clear away some invisible obstacles.

The second uncle complained about it, but he still supported his "nonsense".

.........

Monday, May 7.

Over the past weekend, the Internet is still uproarious.

Because Qingyun Data's B round of financing has not yet been implemented, Germination is still facing pressure from public opinion.

But this has not affected the business activities of Germination.

Nebula Technology has been formally registered and established as a first-level subsidiary of the Germination Group, and its registered address is a seven-story building in the Germination Industrial Park.

If nothing else happens, this building will serve as the headquarters of Nebula Technology in the future.

Because it is still a blank slate, Nebula Technology is temporarily placed under the management of Fertility Research Institute of Sprout Group, and the recruitment of relevant personnel and the Group Talent Center have also been started simultaneously.

Human Resources Director Wu Sheyuan even flew to the beautiful country to scout people, and he hasn't come back yet.

It is said that a technical leader has been locked.

In addition to Nebula Technology, under the instruction of Zhang Shuo, Sunlight Holdings and Dream Fund have also formally reached an agreement on the equity transaction of wichat and signed an equity transaction contract.

Dream Fund will acquire a 10% stake in wichat under the name of Sunlight Holdings at a price of one billion US dollars.

The funds are expected to arrive within a week.

conference room.

Lu Kai is reporting on the financing situation of Qingyun Data, "According to the chairman's instructions, Qingyun Data's B round of financing will adopt a combination of equity transfer + financing."

Simply put——

Qingyun Data will carry out B-round financing with a valuation of 400 billion yuan, with a financing amount of 60 billion yuan and a 15% equity transfer.

Financing objects include Binhai Urban Investment, Lingnan Provincial Investment, Haijin Urban Investment, Modu Urban Investment, Jiangxia Urban Investment, South Sichuan Provincial Investment, Huaxia State Investment, and investment institutions with state-owned backgrounds related to data security supervision.

A total of fifteen investment institutions are all authoritative.

In July last year, when Qingyun Data raised its A round of financing, its valuation was only 250 billion yuan. Germination transferred 10% of its shares, and its shareholding ratio dropped from 100% to 90%.

After the B round of financing, Sprout’s shareholding will be diluted again, down to 76.5%.

In just one year, the overall valuation of Qingyun Data has increased by 1.6 times. The achievements and market share of Qingyun Data in the past year are actually not exaggerated at all.

Even slightly conservative.

After the B round of financing, Germination Group will also transfer 450% of the equity of Qingyun Data to these fifteen investment institutions at a new valuation of 20 billion.

Further reducing the shareholding ratio to 56.5% is tantamount to actively giving up absolute control.

The reason for this is also very simple.

One is to continue to implement the opening strategy of the Germination Group, and gradually give up absolute control over non-core business companies such as Qingcheng Group and Qingyun Data.

At the same time, it is also a response to the outside world's suspicion that the Germination Group is too large and involved in too many industries.

mean.

While constantly getting involved in new businesses, Sprout will also make “concessions” in some businesses.

The second is to give up absolute control over Qingyun Data in exchange for the public's trust in Qingyun Data's data security.

Although the price seems high.

In the eyes of normal investors, the practice of transferring equity immediately after financing like Germination Group is simply stupid, no different from giving money.

If it can be dragged to the C round of financing, the value of the 20% equity transferred now can double immediately.

It is also because the investors are all urban investment companies that Mengya is so generous.

It is foreseeable that after the news of Qingyun Data's B-round financing comes out, investment institutions like Pirates Saint Group and Scarlet Capital will probably go crazy with jealousy.

From the beginning of the establishment of Germination, these capitals have always wanted to participate in the financing of Germination.

result……

Mengya doesn't care about these so-called professional investment institutions at all, and prefers to cooperate with investment institutions such as Chengtou, which is also full of positive energy.

As for saying.

The reason why Qingyun Data did not sell 35% of its shares at one go during its B round of financing, but chose a combination of financing + equity transfer, is also very simple.

A Qingyun data currently has sufficient funds, and there is no need to raise more than [-] billion in one go.

Second, Germination Group also wants to properly recover some of the previous investment in Qingyun Data through equity transfers, and at the same time, use the 9 billion funds obtained from equity transfers to supplement the group's cash flow.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

As the Germinal Group grows in size, it is necessary to pay attention to eating habits. It is good to unite more friends, but we should not give up eating because of choking.

The benefits that should be obtained cannot really be ignored.

Zhang Shuo's business philosophy is that it is true that the cake should be divided in the process, but it is not to distribute all the cake for free when the cake is not yet big, but to strive to make the cake bigger.

In this way, more things can be done.

.........

Two days later.

Wu Sheyuan, director of human resources, returned to Binhai City from the beautiful country, accompanied by a master of aerospace technology he personally poached from the beautiful country.

"Chairman, this is Dr. Guan Zai." Wu Sheyuan introduced with a smile.

"Good morning!"

Zhang Shuo took the initiative to shake hands with Guan Zai, and recalled the information in his mind synchronously.

Undergraduate in Mechanics at Qingbei University, Master and Ph.D. students at the Beautiful National Hemp Rope Institute of Technology, and later stayed on to teach at the school. He was awarded the title of associate professor at the age of 33.

It can be described as a leader in the Mesozoic Era in the field of aerospace research.

As early as a week ago, Wu Sheyuan had already sent Zhang Shuo the detailed information about being locked up, and it was only after getting Zhang Shuo's approval that he went to the beautiful country to invite people in person.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Shuo asked with a smile: "I'm curious, why is Dr. Guan willing to leave the beautiful country and return to Huaxia at this time?"

"Because what I received was an invitation from Germinal."

Guan Zai's attitude is very sincere, "To be precise, I am willing to come because Germination has you."

"right?"

Zhang Shuo was also stunned. He didn't expect that he still had such a great charm.

"Although I live in the beautiful country, I have been paying attention to domestic news all the time, and I know that you are called the Hand of Miracle by netizens. I am willing to bet once that the Hand of Miracle will be reproduced in Nebula Technology."

In fact, as early as a year ago, Guan Zai had plans to return to China.

In addition to wanting to use what he learned in the beautiful country to return to China, it is also because his son is about to enter elementary school, and Guan Zai hopes that his son can receive education in China.

rather than being a Chinese.

"Most definitely."

Zhang Shuo, who has a talent for insight, is still very accurate in judging people, and soon realized that Guan Zai was indeed telling the truth, not deliberately flattering him.

"So, do you have any suggestions or ideas for Nebula Technology?" Zhang Shuo asked.

Nebula Technology will be a research and development-based company, so the person in charge of the company must also understand technology and implement a technology master responsibility system.

That is to say, after Guan joins Germination, his position will be——

General Manager and Technical Director of Nebulas Technology.

It can be said that it is the most core and most indispensable existence of Nebula Technology.

Nebula Technology will have great autonomy.

"It depends on the positioning of Nebula Technology. If it only focuses on long-term research and development, then it only needs to recruit researchers one after another and form a research and development team."

"But if you want to come up with a mature product, that is, the first rocket, and launch the first batch of test satellites within a few years, then the first thing to do is to obtain a batch of basic technology patent authorization."

"Without patent authorization, Nebula Technology will be unable to move forward." Guan Zai explained.

"That's it."

Zhang Shuo understood right away. Of course he wanted to choose the latter. After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Do you need jet lag?"

"Ok?"

Guan Zai was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "No need, I was jet-lagged yesterday."

"That's fine, just clean up and accompany me to the capital in the afternoon."

Zhang Shuo is also a vigorous and resolute person.

Although the second uncle had helped to contact Mr. Shen of Huaxia Aerospace before, Zhang Shuo was not in a hurry to contact Mr. Shen. The reason was very simple. He didn't understand aerospace at all, so what could he talk about when he went there?
Now that the prison is here, the situation is naturally different.

"Are you going to negotiate patent licensing with Huaxia Aerospace?"

Guan Zai is also smart, and it is obvious that he did his homework seriously before coming here.

"clever!"

Zhang Shuo nodded approvingly.

"No problem, my salutes are all ready-made, and I can leave at any time." Although it was the first time we met, Guan Zai had a taste of the essence of Zhang Shuo, the big boss's style of behavior.

Just very satisfied!

The operation of the two made Wu Sheyuan on the side look stupid.

"Is this too fast?"
