Sprinkle coins every day

Chapter 410 Ahri zooms in on his moves, Gaotong diss sprouts, and the cuteness is about to go online!
Thursday, November 8.

At the same time that Pinxixi Group successfully completed its A-round financing, Ali, which had just completed its listing, soon made a big move, holding a high-profile press conference and announcing a series of investment cooperation.

These include—

At a sky-high price of US$38 billion, 66% of UC's shares were acquired, and UC was merged into the Ari Group.

It was the largest acquisition in the history of Huaxia Internet.

The original space-time Ali reached this deal in 14, and the purchase price was US$42 billion.

In this life, it is 4 million dollars cheaper than the original time and space.

In addition to the fact that it was acquired a year in advance, it was also because of the emergence of the frog browser under Bud, which greatly squeezed the market share of UC Browser, making the latter less valuable.

But it is still China's second-ranked browser, and the third-ranked ICQ browser.

Even with Ari's wealth and wealth, facing such a super acquisition, if all cash is used, it will be a pain in the neck, so the acquisition method is partial cash + equity replacement.

After the acquisition is completed.

The UC founder team, including technicians, will also be fully integrated into the Ahri system.

That is to say, Ahri's acquisition not only gained a huge traffic entrance, but also acquired a group of high-quality talents, which is still a relatively cost-effective deal.

With the acquisition, the founder team of UC has naturally achieved financial freedom.

Be the biggest winner.

In addition to the founder team, another party also benefited, that is, as early as two years ago, under Zhang Shuo's guidance, he successfully invested in UC's Fenglei Fund.

Taking advantage of Ahri's acquisition, Fenglei Fund successfully cashed out and made a profit of nearly one billion at a time.

I don't know what the uncle would think if he knew.

In addition to the big purchase of UC, Ahri also announced that it will increase its investment in Meizu, becoming the largest shareholder of Meizu, and at the same time it is tantamount to formally entering the smartphone industry.

Also.

Ari also announced in a high-profile manner that a new social software, Laixiang, is being incubated internally.

It can be seen that Ali is still eager to socialize!

After this press conference, it not only demonstrated Ahli's strong financial strength after listing, but also exposed Ahli's ambitions, which is a kind of rush to point the country.

It can be said to be menacing, and it has naturally sparked heated discussions.

"Should I say it or not, the current Ari is really rich!"

"38 billion is still a US dollar. It's unbelievable to think about it. Is this acquisition really not a loss?"

"Who knows!"

"For 38 billion US dollars, the acquisition is only 66% of the shares. In other words, the overall valuation of UC company is 57 billion US dollars, which is more than 360 billion Huaxia coins. It is really crazy."

actually not.

Regardless of whether it is the original time and space or this life, although Ahri's acquisition of UC is not a huge profit, it is definitely not a loss, because the cost of purchasing traffic will be higher as you go later.

Still take Ari as an example.

In order to win Weixin's first-level traffic portal, he spared no effort to spend 350 billion in three years. The service fee alone is enough to buy the entire UC company.

Of course, UC's traffic can't be compared with Weixin's.

In the original time and space, UC has 4.3 million monthly users worldwide. On average, Ali spends less than 70 yuan to purchase an active user, and it is still scattered over several years.

Absolutely make a fortune.

"I feel like Ah Li is a little out of control, what a prodigal!" Naturally, the netizen didn't know how to do it.

"If calculated in this way, UC companies are worth more than 360 billion, so what is the valuation of Frog Browser, which has the largest market share in the mobile terminal?"

"Yeah, it's worth 50 billion, right? It's scary!"

"Meng Wang: I didn't expect that just developing a piece of software would be so valuable."

"Versailles, isn't it? Think about it, when Jade Bird Interactive sold 71 assistants to Qiandu, they also sold it for more than 100 billion. If it is now, it must be worth 30 billion."

"Are you serious upstairs? Assistant 71 is almost a yellow shop, okay?"

"Qiandu: I've been taken advantage of again."

"This is a bit ridiculous. 71 Assistant itself is very good. Back then, it was the largest app distribution platform in China. It was definitely worth the price. It's because Qiandu itself didn't operate well. Who is to blame?"

"Yes, yes!"

"But Mengya is also very stubborn. After selling Assistant 71, he turned around and created a wheat grain mall. Adding Weixin Games, it is equivalent to recreating Assistant 71, a white wolf with empty gloves."

"That's why you say that Germination is superior, isn't it?"

Chatting and chatting, Germination can always become the protagonist of the topic, and there is no one else.

"Who says it's not? Ari, Tengda, and Qiandu, the three giants, except for the blockbuster products at the beginning, they know how to buy, buy, buy, and buy later. In the Internet field, they are all original, and the judgment is judged!"

"Ahri also engages in originality, isn't this Laixiang the same? (dog head)"

"Let's forget it. Ari doesn't have the genes for socializing. No matter how many gimmicks you make, in the end, it will probably lose money. Except for Ari's employees, who will use it?"

"What I'm saying is, I don't even use ICQ anymore, so why use it?"

"In the previous Michat, there was still a little wave in Xiaomi's hands. After being fully acquired by Ari, it was completely silent, and the death was worse than anything else!!!"

"When it comes to Michat, it feels like a long time ago."

"Back then, Michat was an existence that could compete with Weixin. What about now? Even the Weichat that was posted later can't compare. But Weixin has already secured the top spot in Huaxia Mobile's social networking."

"It's really embarrassing!"

"So, the so-called Lai Xiang is basically Ari drawing a big cake, whoever believes it is stupid."

"Ahli's going public, it's really gone!"

"With a market value of nearly one trillion yuan, whoever is the leader among Huaxia's listed companies, who will not float?"

"The cute king will not float!"

"Forget it, Meng Wang, people are not in the three realms, not in the five elements, let alone the richest man in China, one day he will become the richest man in the world, I guess, Meng Wang will remain calm as always."

Well, after a few words, it turned to Zhang Shuo again.

It can be seen that Zhang Shuo is true love.

.........

For Ahri's big move, Zhang Shuo must have paid attention to it, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Because these are all repeated actions in the original time and space, and there is nothing new, including Ari's ambitious social software, just as the netizens predicted, and nothing happened in the end.

It does not constitute any threat to Weixin.

As for Ahli's more aggressive and high-profile entry into the smartphone industry, it is Xiaomi, OV and other peers who should be nervous, and they will not threaten the status of Maili mobile phones.

Maili mobile phone is the only one in China, at least for now.

Not to mention.

According to the trajectory of the original time and space, even if Ahri became the master of Meizu, it still failed to save Meizu from its fate of rapid decline, and it has been surviving half-dead.

In the end, he sold himself to Geely Automobile, which is really embarrassing.

And Zhang Shuoren is not in Binhai City.

He is in Jianye.

On August 8th, Friday, which is tomorrow, Weijing Semiconductor will join hands with Jianye officials to hold the foundation stone laying ceremony for Weijing Semiconductor’s Jianye 9nm wafer foundry project.

Zhang Shuo will attend the ceremony at the invitation of Liang Song, executive vice president of Inaosui Group and general manager of Weijing Semiconductor.

It also shows that the Germinal Group attaches great importance to the project.

So in the late afternoon of Thursday, when Zhang Shuo and his party arrived in Jianye, it was Liang Song who picked them up and arranged a banquet.

Originally, Jianye also wanted to arrange someone to take over Zhang Shuo's job, but the president's office declined.

The reason is very simple -

Liang Song will be solely responsible for all decisions regarding the Jianye 28nm wafer foundry project.

Germination Group will not leapfrog to intervene.

"I came here to be the mascot." Zhang Shuo laughed at himself.

Of course, Liang Song didn't dare to think so. When they had dinner together at night, they didn't forget to report to Zhang Shuo about the preparation of the project in detail, and were always ready to listen to Zhang Shuo's suggestions or opinions.

Zhang Shuo did what he said, he just listened and didn't talk.

"I am here with ears and eyes this time. As for the mouth, it is only used to enjoy the food." Zhang Shuo smiled and picked up a piece of Jinling's special sweet-scented osmanthus duck.

Really delicious!

Liang Song was very moved when he saw this.

Of course, it wasn't just because of Zhang Shuo's words, but because he had really felt the trust of Zhang Shuo, the big boss, in the past three months since he joined Inao Group.

Liang Songke never said a word about Weijing Semiconductor's business.

Even regarding the affairs of Dao Sui Group, Lin Zhengdong, the president of the group, will always listen to the opinions of Liang Song, the executive vice president, especially when it comes to the foundry business, and the professional opinions of Liang Song shall prevail.

For example, Liang Song single-handedly led the investment in Tairui Semiconductor.

In addition to his own management skills, Lin Zhengdong must have obtained a higher level, that is, the instruction of the big boss Zhang Shuo, besides his own management skills.

if not.

Generally speaking, there is always a lot of friction between the group president and the executive vice president.

But Liang Song hardly felt this kind of competition and friction, naturally because Zhang Shuo has been fulfilling the promise he made to Liang Song when he met in Korea——

100% trust in Liang Song, 100% decentralization!

In other words, the three months of working in Weijing Semiconductor were the most relaxed and comfortable for Liang Song, and also the most exciting and fighting three months.

It's like being reborn.

And this kind of feeling has never been experienced in TEC or Samsung.

How could Liang Song not be grateful for such kindness?
As the ancient sages said——

"You treat me like a gentleman of the country, and I will repay you as a gentleman of the country!"

Even if it is said that Liang Song is actually a generation older than Zhang Shuo, but facing Zhang Shuo, he has always maintained respect for the superior.

And it is respect from the heart.

In the eyes of outsiders, this might seem unbelievable, but inside Germinal, it is quite commonplace.

perhaps.

This is the biggest charm of Zhang Shuo!
.........

the next day.

Zhang Shuo fulfilled his promise, played the role of a mascot very well, and completed the ceremony process.

Of course, it wasn't all right, at least after the ceremony, on behalf of the Germination Group, they had an hour-long meeting with the chief official of the Jianye City Government.

Although the content of the conversation revolved around the foundry project, it was not the whole story.

In fact, there are still many places where Germination Group can cooperate with Jianye, such as the construction of a modern logistics park, or the cooperation in the field of new energy vehicles.

For another example, Maili Electronics recently reported that it will invest in the construction of a third foundry.

Even in the field of commercial aerospace, there are points of cooperation.

With the current scale of the Germination Group, Zhang Shuo can receive warm hospitality from the locals in every city he visits. Why?It is because the Germination Group has too many investment projects.

Everyone wants a piece of it.

As for Jianye specifically, in order to establish a good relationship with the Germination Group, this time Weijing Semiconductor has given maximum support to the 28nm wafer foundry project.

We need land for land, policies for policies, and loans for loans.

The service is impeccable.

And what about Zhang Shuo?To deal with this kind of situation, I have long been familiar with it, and my attitude is just one——

Don't refuse, don't express your opinion!
Whether we can cooperate in the future depends on fate and the final evaluation results.

.........

Not surprisingly.

After the release of the press release on the foundation stone laying ceremony of Weijing Semiconductor's Jianye 28nm wafer foundry project, it soon triggered a new round of heated discussions on the Internet.

"Sprout is fine, another big move!"

"Compared to Ahri's buying, buying and buying, Mengya's recent focus on business is the right way."

Since the press conferences of the two are only one day apart, it is inevitable that they will be compared by netizens.

"Don't talk about it. After Ari's listing and financing, he thought there would be some new ideas, but it turned out to be an introverted one. There is no comparison with Budger's pioneering in the semiconductor field."

"You can't say that, maybe Germination is too radical?"

There is never a shortage of different voices online.

"That is, according to public information, Weijing Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Inaosui Group, has only mastered the 40-nanometer process technology. Not long ago, it started construction of a 40-nanometer wafer foundry in Luzhou."

"In the blink of an eye, why did you start building a 28nm wafer foundry?"

"Also, didn't Taiji Electronics announce not long ago that it would build a 28nm wafer foundry in Luzhou? It is said that Daosuke Group also participated in the investment, so why did they start all over again?"

"This time, Germination might really be too ambitious!"

At least for now, with the prospect of going public, there are still fans of Ahri on the Internet.

Including followers of the uncle.

There are even many people kneeling to pay back their father, and then spending money for him.

"Those upstairs, I said, are you pretending to understand, or are you really naive? Do you know the construction cost of a 28nm wafer foundry? That is an investment of nearly 20 billion."

Someone soon came forward to refute.

"No matter how aggressive Dao Sui Group is, would it make fun of the 20 billion investment?"

"right."

Many people also recalled, "There is also Jianye, which has given so much policy support, so it must have done serious research in advance, how could it be possible to let Dao Sui Group go around?"

"But Weijing Semiconductor has clearly not mastered the advanced 28nm manufacturing process. Is this also true?"

"The specific research and development progress is a commercial secret. How could Weijing Semiconductor disclose it to the public? All I know is that the construction period of a wafer foundry is at least one and a half years."

"The rest, don't I need to say more?"

"Oh!!!"

There are smart netizens who have already understood the subtext.

"According to this, Weijing Semiconductor is confident that it will conquer the 28nm advanced process within two years, so it launched the 28nm foundry project ahead of schedule?"

"It's meaningless to talk about it. Don't forget, who is the person in charge of Weijing Semiconductor."

"Boss Liang Song, bull beep!!!"

This time, netizens were completely excited, "If Weijing Semiconductor really breaks through the 28nm advanced process, it will be enough to beat Zhongxin, and it is not impossible to catch up with Samsung and TEC."

"Mengwang, you are indeed the hand of miracles!!!"

At this moment, netizens' admiration for Germination and Zhang Shuo has reached a new height.

.........

Weijing Semiconductor's 28nm wafer foundry project in Jianye is not only concerned by Chinese netizens, but also peers such as Zhongxin, Tai Electromechanical, and Samsung.

Of course the reactions are also different.

Naturally, Zhongxin had no choice but to admit the fact that it was surpassed by Weijing Semiconductor.

It's ridiculous though.

Weijing Semiconductor, which has been established for less than a year, has stepped on Zhongxin, making the domestic glory and the glory of competition that Zhongxin advertised before become a joke.

I can no longer rely on feelings to eat.

On the contrary, the two giants, TEC and Samsung, are not so excited about the rise of Weijing Semiconductor, because they have already achieved mass production of 28nm chips.

more importantly.

This year, TEC will realize the mass production of 20nm chips, and while Samsung continues to break through the 14nm advanced manufacturing process, it is also striving to realize the mass production of 22nm chips.

Compared with Weijing Semiconductor, it is two generations ahead.

According to Moore's Law, every year or so, the advanced manufacturing process will take a steady step forward, and Weijing Semiconductor will fall behind every step of the way.

It is difficult to catch up with the pace of TEC and Samsung.

Otherwise, foundry companies such as UMC will not completely fail and give up the research and development of advanced processes of 7 nanometers and below after TEC breaks through the 10nm advanced process.

Because it doesn't make sense anymore.

Instead of wasting time, money, and energy on the research and development of advanced manufacturing processes, it is better to lie down completely and concentrate on eating the market share between 14nm and 40nm.

The future fate of Weijing Semiconductor, at best, should be like UMC.

It is absolutely impossible to overtake on a curve.

Not to mention a new player like Weijing Semiconductor, even a "powerhouse" like Intel, eventually fell under the advanced 3nm and 5nm process?
The further back, the more the winner takes all!

.........

Zhang Shuo didn't pay much attention to the public opinion on the Internet. He left Jianye by plane that afternoon, but did not return to Binhai City. Instead, he flew directly to the capital to attend the new year's China Internet Conference.

In fact, it was also the last Huaxia Internet Conference.

Because next year, the Huaxia Internet Conference will be changed to the World Internet Conference, and the venue will be permanently located in a water town in Jiangnan Province, making it another legend in the history of the Internet.

This is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.

This year's Internet Conference, the opening time is scheduled for August 8, Monday.

In other words, in theory, Zhang Shuo can start working after spending a weekend in the capital.

This is of course unrealistic.

In fact, as the chairman and CEO of Germination Group, since Zhang Shuo arrived at the capital ahead of schedule, the president's office naturally arranged his itinerary in advance.

And it was quite full.

For example, just taking advantage of the weekend, Zhang Shuo was going to visit Tao Lao, Mr. Shen and other old friends in the capital, including some uncles introduced by his second uncle Tang Yi.

These personal connections, if you can move more, you still have to move around.

But they are all solid backers.

In addition to visiting the elders, I finally came to the capital. As the big boss, I have to visit the branches of the Germination Group in the capital. I invite everyone to have a meal and make contact with each other.

Especially those scientific researchers, it is even more rewarding.

Including Yu Tu, who stayed in the capital for the time being, also invited a group of young men who were also young, to have a barbecue or something when they had time in the evening, and the conversation started immediately.

In fact, it was also recruiting endorsements for Yu Tu, after all, Yu Tu hadn't been locked in such a coffee position yet.

all in all.

The weekend Zhang Shuo stayed in the capital was painful and happy.

Nothing is easier than going to work.

While Zhang Shuo was busy entertaining, on August 8, the day before the opening of the Internet Conference, the president of Gaotong, Ke Meng, who made a special trip to attend the conference, openly challenged Germinal in an interview with the media.

"Can you talk about your views on the Candle Dragon Z1 chip?"

The reporter, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, asked, "You know, at present in China, many people compare the Zhulong Z1 chip with the Gaotong Snapdragon [-], which also affects the choices of many mobile phone manufacturers."

This is also true.

Since Zhulong Technology announced the performance and test results of the Zhulong Z1 chip, the comparison and controversy about the two chips on the Chinese Internet have never stopped.

There is support and there is doubt.

"Chips are very complex electronic products, especially mobile phone chips. Uh, I don't think that a Huaxia chip design company that has been established for less than two years can design products comparable to Snapdragon."

"Especially the Snapdragon [-], which is the latest high-end chip designed by Gaotong. Even a company like Pingguo cannot be independent and needs the help of Gaotong."

"So, you know, comparing the Candle Dragon Z1 chip with the Snapdragon [-], in my opinion, this is actually a kind of humiliation to the Gaotong chip."

Komon's attitude was arrogant, and he made no secret of his distrust of the Candle Dragon chip.

Not surprisingly—

Komon's answer immediately caused an uproar on the Chinese Internet!

Netizens exploded immediately! ! !

"Gao Tong is too arrogant, who dares to despise Germination so much."

"Let Gaotong get out of Huaxia, shit!!!"

"This is the real face of overseas companies, and there is no one else."

……

And this turmoil is bound to affect the Internet Conference that will open tomorrow.

Haven't started yet.

It's already full of gunpowder.
