Chapter 409 Countering Gaotong, Germination wants to be a lone brave?
After signing the grant application, Zhang Shuo was about to leave work early when Gu Mingzhang knocked on the door and came in.

"Chairman, I think it is necessary to respond to the negative public opinion on the Candle Dragon chip on the Internet." Seeing that the Maili X2 is about to be released, Gu Mingzhang's nerves also tensed up.

Be ready to deal with any crisis at any time.

"How are you going to respond?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"Announce the test results of the Candle Dragon Z1 chip, and at the same time, please cooperate with Thai Electromechanical to announce the production progress, yield rate and other information of the Candle Dragon Z1 chip. In a word, we must increase the publicity of the Candle Dragon Z1 chip."

The smell of wine is still afraid of deep alleys.

Although there are some noises about the Candle Dragon chip on the Internet, and there may even be competitors behind it that are fueling the flames, the word-of-mouth budding in the hearts of Chinese netizens is also a trump card.

As long as you speak objectively, many people will still believe it.

"can!"

Zhang Shuo agreed with Gu Mingzhang's suggestion, and immediately said: "In addition, we can also change the release strategy of Maili X2, and strive to officially distribute the goods on the second day of the press conference. Can it be done?"

The sooner users can get the real machine experience, the faster the rumors can be crushed.

For the upcoming Mili X2, Mili X2 max, and the first generation of Miipad mipad, Zhang Shuo got the prototypes as early as last month and has been experiencing them.

Therefore, I am very confident in the quality of these three products.

"It should be possible." Gu Mingzhang also thought it was a good idea, "If it doesn't work out, we have to make the workers in the electronics factory work harder and work overtime, and the company will pay more for overtime."

"Then it's settled!"

Zhang Shuo was also straightforward and decisive, and didn't worry too much about working overtime.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and hypocrisy cannot be tolerated.

Compared with Fujikeng, the working environment and benefits of Maili Electronics are already top in the industry. Occasionally having to work overtime or something does not mean that it is something outrageous.

What's more, the overtime pay is doubled.

Immediately, Zhang Shuo raised another question: "Self-certification of innocence is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. This time, there is a public opinion turmoil on the Zhulong chip, and the root cause is Gaotong."

"Chairman, do you mean to attack Gaotong?" Gu Mingzhang was shocked.

"Passive defense is not my style."

Zhang Shuo is a very aggressive existence, and said with a smile: "Not to mention, just because Gaotong charges high 3G/4G patent technology licensing fees to all mobile phone manufacturers, which is what the industry calls Gaotong tax It is very unreasonable, and it is suspected of abusing market dominance, which should be investigated and corrected."

This is not Zhang Shuo's nonsense.

Europa once issued a sky-high fine to Gaotong for this.

In February 15 in the original time and space, Huaxia also issued a fine of one billion dollars to Gaotong, and at the same time urged Gaotong to make adjustments to the patent licensing fee, reducing the tax on Gaotong to one-third of the original.

The entire investigation process lasted for a year.

In other words, as early as 14, Huaxia mobile phone manufacturers were already very dissatisfied with the high Gaotong tax, and secretly encouraged a private organization in Shanghai to file a lawsuit against Gaotong.

Not only did he punish Gaotong, but he didn't say that he would completely tear himself apart with Gaotong.

"In addition to the Gaotong tax, there is also the fact that Xiaomi and OV abandoned the Zhulong chip this time. Is it also the pressure from Gaotong? Is Gaotong abusing its dominant position in the market?"

For overseas giants, Zhang Shuo has always dared to show his sword.

"These two points are indeed Gaotong's weaknesses in China, but it may take a long time to investigate and collect evidence." Gu Mingzhang also had a bright eye.

"The longer the time, the longer it is. It's not about the length of time." Zhang Shuo is very strategic.

"Understood!"

Gu Mingzhang also understood, and immediately asked for instructions: "Then, should we come forward to accuse Gaotong in person, or should we leave it to a third-party agency?"

"In order to increase the weight, it's better for Mengya to come forward in person. After all, we are also victims."

Zhang Shuo is very rigid.

Xiaomi, OV and the like are afraid of learning about Gaotong, but Mengya is not afraid, and they have already formed a grudge.

"Once a lawsuit is filed, Maili Group will temporarily stop paying patent licensing fees to Gaotong to show its determination to resist." Zhang Shuo added with a smile.

This method has been used by many manufacturers in the original time and space, and the effect is surprisingly good.

"understand!"

Gu Mingzhang is naturally happy to be able to save a lot of money with nothing.

The key is.

Maili Group has decided that after the release of Maili X2 in September, Maili X1 will be removed from the Maili official website, and Maili Electronics has discontinued Maili X1 as early as a month ago.

The last two months have been digesting inventory.

In other words, Maili Group no longer needs to purchase mobile phone chips from Gaotong.

The strength to fight is natural.

"If possible, it is best to bring Huawei and other friends together." Zhang Shuo reminded.

He didn't want to be taken advantage of again.

Every time Germinal is charged forward, these friends and businessmen hide behind and enjoy their success.

It's too outrageous.

"Don't worry, chairman, I will handle this matter."

Gu Mingzhang didn't mean that, he was very dissatisfied with his friends for a long time.

.........

Zhang Shuo was in a hurry to get off work, but he wanted to spend Qixi with Chen Lu.

Candlelight dinner is ready.

Under the deliberate favor of the little goblin, Zhang Shuo lived a life like a king for the whole weekend, and even had the idea that "the king will never go to court early".

But it can only be suppressed by force.

Germination is now such a big stall, except for Zhang Shuo who is in charge, no one can change it.

Can't stop!

.........

Monday, May 8.

Dragging his body that was about to be squeezed dry, Zhang Shuo came to the company again.

In the past weekend, perhaps because of the blessing of Qixi Festival, the overall situation was quite calm. The only thing that was lively was the news about the Candle Dragon chip on the Internet, which suddenly increased.

There are self-media and formal media reports.

There are also companies such as Candle Dragon Technology, Maili Group, and Thai Electromechanical who have made their voices one after another. Without exception, they are all standing for the Candle Dragon Z1 chip in order to crush the previous Internet rumors.

won the approval of some netizens.

"I still believe in Germination. A company that can design such an amazing smartphone as the Maili X1 and an electric car as cool as the Mango M1, why can't it design mobile phone chips?"

"That is, in terms of research and development, how bad is the budding? Last year's research and development expenditure alone was able to rank among the top [-] IT companies in the world, and this year may be even better."

"Don't forget, the fingerprint unlocking technology was first developed by Mengya."

"Looking forward to the Zhulong Z1 chip, and also looking forward to the amazing debut of the Maili X2!!!"

At least in China.

Germination is definitely well-known, and it is really not that easy to discredit Germination.

After reading the news, Zhang Shuo looked through the work briefing, and there were many interesting things, such as Wu Sheyuan, director of human resources, who arranged a team to recruit people from Samsung, which made Samsung jump its feet in anger.

He also threatened to sue Germination.

Of course, Germination is not afraid. After Cheng Minghua, the new general manager of the legal center, took office, he not only won the intellectual property litigation battle in the Europa market, but also won the resignation lawsuit of Liang Song.

It didn't let Samsung in the bud at all.

Not to mention, earlier, there was a lawsuit against consumers in Korea who smashed the offline experience store of Maili mobile phone. The perpetrator not only paid a large sum of money, but also faced three months in prison.

It is also a complete victory!

It made Germina a bit of a "Pizza Hut" in the industry, and its content exceeded the standard.

In addition to recruiting talents, the subsidiaries of the group also have their own outstanding performances. For example, Mango Group has built offline experience centers in ten cities including Shanghai Magic City, Beijing Normal University, and Binhai City.

The construction of charging piles is also progressing steadily.

Although the Mango M1 has not yet been delivered, it has become the new favorite in the field of new energy vehicles.

This made Teshila, who is far away in the beautiful country, a little anxious. Just last Friday, the Model S under Teshila began to accept reservations from Chinese customers, and the price was 73 to 85.

Drink away most of the consumers in one go.

Those who can afford the Model S are some rich and wealthy sons and daughters.

Belongs to play ticket nature.

This leads to saying that the entry of Teshila does not pose a substantial threat to Mango Automobile. As of the end of July, the pre-ordered volume of Mango M1 has exceeded [-].

A new record has been set!
In addition to Mango Group, Pinxixi Group, which is about to start financing, is even more courageous and diligent. After the great success in Jiangchuan Province, it has already spread its business across the central and western regions, and it is coming aggressively.

It seems that he has become a new player comparable to Jingdong.

.........

After reading the work briefing, Zhang Shuo came to the next meeting room.

At the regular meeting on Monday, the first thing discussed was the financing of Pinxixi Group.

Reported by the rotating president Lu Kai.

"After evaluation, Pinxixi Group's A-round financing is valued at 80 billion. It is expected to transfer 10% of the equity and raise 8 billion, which will be mainly used for daily operations and logistics system construction."

"Will the valuation of 80 billion be too high?" Zhang Shuo asked.

Since the establishment of Pinxixi Group, it has only been a year since its establishment, and its valuation has reached 80 billion.

It's unbelievable when you think about it.

"No."

Lu Kai explained: "Although Pinxixi Group has not been established for a long time, since its establishment, only the parent company of the group has directly injected more than 270 billion funds into Pinxixi."

including but not limited to--

Ten billion logistics park construction, 3 billion Guochao brand support plan fund, spent nearly 5 billion before and after the acquisition of two major express companies, Baishi and Durban, shopping festival subsidies and so on.

That's it.

This does not include the daily operating expenses of Pinxixi Group.

"In addition to direct capital investment, there are also investments in various business resources such as talents, channels, and contacts, including strategic cooperation with Walli Intelligent Manufacturing, cooperation with the Group Technology Center, and so on."

Only Wei Xin's diversion for Pin Xixi is worth more than tens of billions.

At this point, because Pinxixi Group was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Germina before, it didn't charge a dime for traffic service fees.

After financing, the cost of this piece will also be added.

Of course, talking about Sprout Group's investment in Pinxixi is definitely not enough to raise the valuation of Pinxixi Group to 80 billion, and more hardcore data is needed to support it.

"The number of daily active users of Pinxixi Group has reached 5 million, and it is about to catch up with the shocking daily activities. It is firmly in the third transaction of Huaxia E-commerce, and the growth rate is significantly higher than the industry average."

Even if it is the most conservative estimate, the number of people who will live on the eve of the night is expected to surpass the frightening winter by the end of the year.

The same horror as the original time and space.

This also verifies the success of Pinxixi's business model from the side. It proves that in China, a huge market, besides the white-collar workers of the moonlight clan, there are more middle- and low-income earners who are more sensitive to prices.

The market potential in this area is extremely huge.

This is also concretely reflected in the revenue of Pinxixi Group.

"Pinxixi Group's operating income in the first quarter of this year was 89.5 billion, and the operating income in the second quarter was 138.7 billion. The operating income in the second quarter has already caught up with the operating income in the first quarter of Jingdong."

no doubt.

Jingdong is Pinxixi's best competitor and the first challenger.

Although the two parties are still in a cooperative relationship.

But that doesn't stop me from saying that Pin Xixi is stepping on Jingdong's shoulders to hit the second place in China's e-commerce business.

In normal business competition, no one can make irresponsible remarks.

In addition to these, Pinxixi Group also holds a trump card, that is, Pinxixi Group owns the largest logistics company recognized in the industry-Qingfeng Logistics.

This is the startling winter of getting up earlier, which is incomparable.

It is precisely because of the support of these hard-core data indicators that Pinxixi Group, which has been established for more than a year, dared to call out a valuation of 80 billion in the A round of financing.

By no means wasted a false name.

"If it weren't for the fact that urban investment in various places is the main contributor to the financing, the valuation would have been even higher."

Lu Kai is very arrogant.

"That's fine."

After being analyzed by Lu Kai, Zhang Shuo accepted it with peace of mind.

In my impression, the original time and space startled winter 14 years ago, that is, when it went public next year, its market capitalization once approached 260 billion US dollars. In such a comparison, Pinxixi Group's valuation of 80 billion is very reasonable.

Absolutely no moisture!

.........

At the end of the meeting, Zhang Shuo met Guan Zai who had just returned from the capital in his office.

"Are you done with the affairs of the capital?"

Zhang Shuo smiled and asked Guan to sit down on the sofa, and poured him a glass of water himself.

"The big things have been finalized, and I will let Yu Tu be in charge of the remaining finishing work." Guan Zai hurried back to Binhai City, but he wanted to take the lead in preparing for the construction of the laboratory.

Don't dare to delay for a moment.

"It seems that Yu Tu is very good at what to do." Zhang Shuo smiled.

"It's a good seedling."

Guan Zai also does not shy away from relatives, "He has a bright mind and a smart person. Although he has only graduated from a graduate school, the key is to be a steady person and not stage fright at all, unlike me."

In order to support Yu Tu, Guan Zai did not hesitate to blackmail himself.

"Besides, Yu Tu is also very well-known in the circle of Jingshi University, which happens to be able to recruit a lot of talents for Nebula Technology, so he might as well stay in Jingshi for a while."

"That is the focus of cultivation."

Zhang Shuo was definitely supportive of the employed person, and then he asked with a smile, "Tell me about yourself. How are things at home settled?"

The best way to get closer to your subordinates is to talk about things outside of work.

"It's all settled, thanks to the chairman for your trouble."

Mentioning this, Guan Zai is very grateful.

As one of the Thousand Talents Plan introduced by Germina from overseas, Guan Zai received a 10 million placement fee on the day he joined the company, which solved his worries.

This is not the point.

Knowing that Guan Zai's son will start elementary school in the second half of this year, Zhang Shuo personally came forward to clear up the relationship, and he took care of the three things of buying a house, registering a household, and transferring school status.

They are all green passages.

Make sure that the son who is locked up will be able to go to school in Binhai City next month.

This is actually what Germination should do.

Since it is necessary to introduce high-level talents from overseas, it is natural to do a good job in logistics support services. As for such a level of technical experts, which city is not rushing to get them?
In the past, President Shen of Huaxia Aerospace even joked that he would poach him away.

"It's good that it's settled, then let's talk about your plan for the establishment of the laboratory." After talking about personal affairs, Zhang Shuo finally brought the topic to work.

But when Guan Zai was still in the capital, he had talked about it on the phone.

"I still hold the previous point of view. It is more appropriate to suggest that the Xingyun Building in the Sprout Industrial Park should only be used as the administrative headquarters of Xingyun Technology, and the laboratory should be located in Pingchang City, Qiongzhou Province."

The status of Pingchang County in the aerospace field is naturally beyond doubt.

Guan Zai's idea is actually very pure. Pingchang County is the best place to build a commercial space launch site, so why not set up the research and development institution in Pingchang nearby to save the trouble of going back and forth.

"As a launch site, Pingchang City is indeed a good choice, but have you considered such a question, can Pingchang's educational resources, medical resources, etc., meet the needs of the children of the families of R&D personnel? Can people work in Pyeongchang with peace of mind?"

What Zhang Shuo raised is a very realistic question.

After all, Nebula Technology is not a giant like Huaxia Aerospace. If it wants to attract outstanding talents, it must solve these worries for researchers.

Especially in China, the problem of children's education is too big.

otherwise.

Why do so many top talents want to settle down in the capital and magic capital after sharpening their heads?

Isn't it the local high-quality educational resources?

In this area, Binhai City is actually not particularly competitive, let alone Pyeongchang.

In the future if necessary.

Zhang Shuo even considered that he planned to build R&D centers in Beijing and Shanghai to arrange talents nearby.

"If you think that the Xingyun building cannot meet the construction needs of the laboratory, then you can take land in Houhai and build a new laboratory building. This is no problem."

As the boss, Zhang Shuo is undoubtedly very arrogant.

"That's something I haven't thought about."

Thinking that he had already made his home in Binhai City, but wanted his researchers to make their home in Pingchang, he felt a little ashamed, and then said: "It is still possible to conduct research and development in the Xingyun Building, but there is no suitable test site. The construction of the test base."

"In this area, can we consider cooperating with the Eastern University of Technology?"

Guan Zai also had a flash of inspiration.

As a high-level talent introduced from overseas by Sprout Group, a member of the Thousand Talents Program, Guan Zaiye will also teach at the Eastern University of Technology as a visiting professor.

This is also part of the cooperation between Germination Group and Eastern University of Technology.

"That's a good idea, I agree!"

Zhang Shuo nodded with a smile, obviously very satisfied with Guan Zai's proposal.
