Sprinkle coins every day

Tuesday, July 4.

The time has come to April in a blink of an eye. As the chairman of the group, the first thing Zhang Shuo has to do is to approve the appropriation application for the new quarter, which mainly includes——

Allocate 40 billion research and development funds to the Fertile Research Institute;
Allocate 55 billion operating funds to Mango Group, including 30 billion research and development funds;
Appropriate 15 billion operating funds to Xingyun Group, including 5 billion research and development funds;
Appropriate 5 million operating funds to Sunshine Holdings;
Appropriate 5 million operating funds to the headquarters of the Sprout Group, including the operating expenses of the property management department.

A total of 120 billion funds.

In addition to the fixed appropriation, in the first quarter of 14, the Sprout Group did not have any major expenditures, because both the acquisition of Ma Daxiqi and the aero-engine industry base were still in progress.

Including the acquisition of pharmaceutical companies.

The superposition of various factors led to the low level of the Sprout Group's overall expenditure.

Profit.

In the first quarter of 14, Qinghe Group handed in a profit of 426 billion, Maili Group handed in a profit of 215 billion, Weizhong Group handed in a profit of 29 billion, and Sunlight Holdings handed in a profit of 185 billion.

A total of 855 billion profits were turned in, setting a new record.

Among them, the huge profit of 185 billion handed over by Sunlight Holdings this time is the proceeds from the previous sale of Wichat equity to Washbasin, which is a non-recurring income.

The profit handed over by Qinghe Group this time includes the tens of billions of Weixin traffic entrance service fees paid by Ahri and Qingcheng Group respectively, which is also a non-recurring income.

Among them, Ari paid the final final payment.

In other words, the three-year cooperation between Ari and Weixin has entered the last year.

Non-recurring income accounted for nearly half of Sprout Group's profit in the first quarter.

It is also wonderful! ! !

But similarly, among the recurring income, Qinghe Group's games, advertising, software services, cloud computing and other businesses have also ushered in a certain degree of growth.

Especially the game business, the growth rate is more than 35%.

Even after deducting the non-recurring income of 20 billion, Qinghe Group's profit in the first quarter was as high as 220 billion, surpassing Maili Group and ranking first in the group.

Properly top-notch in the industry.

With the profit level of Qinghe Group, it is more than enough to compare with Ali and Tengda.

Due to the sales of mobile phones during the Spring Festival and the expansion of overseas markets, Maili Group's profits have also continued to rise, and its single-quarter profit has successfully exceeded the 20 billion mark.

The fortune trajectory of Maili Group is almost an enhanced version of Pingguo.

In the future, as the wheat grain group continues to make efforts in the market segments such as notebook computers and smart watches, coupled with the service income from the wheat grain mall, the overall revenue is expected to reach a new level.

It is aimed at the benchmark Pingguo.

In addition to the two major revenue pillars of Qinghe Group and Maili Group, the upgraded Weizhong Group has also ushered in a small explosion in revenue after increasing its registered capital and reaching a strategic cooperation with Pinxixi.

The single-quarter profit is close to 3 billion.

With the future volume and potential of Internet finance, Weizhong Group's revenue will continue to explode.

It is also worth looking forward to.

--slightly--

[Level]: Level 11 (2300 million/1 million)
[Cash]: 813 billion

[Loans]: 245 billion (bank loans) + 100 billion (corporate bonds) + 84 billion (overseas loans)

[Subsidiaries]: Qinghe Group, Qingcheng Group (54.44%), Pinxixi Group (90%), Maili Group, Dao Sui Group (90%), Mango Group, Weizhong Group, Sunshine Holdings, Nebula Group

--slightly--

Because the profit in the first quarter exceeded expectations and the expenditure was at a low level, the cash flow on the accounts of the Sprout Group surged by 735 billion in just one quarter.

Once again set a new record for cash flow.

It is precisely because of such a strong cash flow that Zhang Shuo will be ambitious again and start the buy-buy-buy model, not only to acquire Madasic, but also to establish a pharmaceutical group.

Otherwise, if so much cash is just lying in the account, it would be a waste of money.

And to be honest, there are still many investment opportunities in 14, unlike Yuanshikong, a fast-rising local tyrant like Mihayou, who has plenty of cash in his pocket, but suffers from the lack of suitable investment channels.

Buying a wealth management can step on the pit.

Of course, Zhang Shuo decided to enter the pharmaceutical industry. The starting point was not simply to use the cash in the budding account, but mainly to inject some fresh vitality into the pharmaceutical industry.

If you can force your peers to call "Wolf is coming", it will be considered an initial success.

.........

The next morning.

Maili Group, together with Warwick and Xiyang Technology, will hold the first spring developer conference in the newly completed convention and exhibition center of the Germination Industrial Park.

This is also the first time that the Sprout Industrial Park has opened to the outside world.

4G, assisted driving, food delivery robots and other achievements representing cutting-edge technologies are perfectly integrated with the fruit trees, vegetable fields and farms that can be seen everywhere in the park.

There are not only towering skyscrapers, but also avant-garde convention and exhibition centers.

Humanistic care is everywhere in the park.

Also from the side, it well shows the budding corporate culture, advocates the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and advocates the use of technology to change life without damaging the environment.

And pursue the synergy between technology and the environment.

Such a unique industrial park naturally attracted the attention of all the participants. Wherever they went, they would unconsciously exclaim in amazement and envy in their eyes.

"I can work in such a park, even if I don't get paid." Someone joked.

Different from the autumn conference, more than [-]% of the participants in the spring developer conference are app developers or related practitioners.

Internet companies including Ari, Tenda, Qiandu, Wangye, etc. have arranged for people to participate.

Although Ari and Mengya are at odds with each other, the sales of Maili mobile phones are here. Especially in the local Chinese market, there is no Internet company that dares to ignore the existence of Maili mobile phones.

Especially in the high-end mobile phone market, Maili is almost the only one.

This is also the biggest confidence for Maili mobile phone to dare to change the operating system midway, because the sales volume of Maili mobile phone itself is enough to support a certain scale of the market.

Not to mention, it is still such a strategic alliance as Warwick.

in this way.

There is no need to worry about app developers not cooperating.

Except for a group of developers, the rest of the participants were mainly media reporters from all over the world. Due to the global influence of Budding, it also attracted many overseas media.

Even arrogant foreign reporters have to express their admiration after visiting the industrial park.

Indeed, it represents the first-class international standard.

In addition to developers and reporters, the rest are invited guests.

For example, President Ren of Warwick.

Another example is the red-clothed leader who came here specially to cheer.

When Xiaomi, OV, etc. were "centrifuged" with Maili Group, Kuqi mobile phone, which was established by the leader of Red Clothes and Ku π, is getting closer and closer to Maili Group.

Not only took the lead in expressing support for the Candle Dragon chip, but also promised——

"If the Xiran operating system is really comparable to Android, then Kuchi will also use the Xirang operating system."

This is naturally what Maili Group is happy to see.

It is only 14 years now, and the ecosystem established by Android is far from solid. If the ecosystem can attract enough mobile phone manufacturers, it will be enough to fight against Android.

Then in the field of mobile phone operating systems, a new pattern of tripartite confrontation has been formed.

At [-] a.m., the press conference officially began.

The meeting was presided over by Gu Mingzhang, Senior Vice President of Sprout Group and President of Wheat Group, and Zhang Shuo only attended as a guest, leaving the stage to Gu Mingzhang.

This is also one of the signals that Zhang Shuo gradually withdraws from the daily management of the Germination Department, and no longer deeply binds himself with the Germination Department, especially with its subsidiaries.

Further release the autonomy of subsidiaries.

As for why Maili Group and Huawei's joint research and development of the Xiran operating system was launched by Maili Group, of course there is something to say in it.

Objectively speaking, Maili mobile phone is indeed better than Warwick.

In addition to the recent battle between Maili Group and Guge, Hua Wei is also happy to see Maili Group charging forward, sharing most of the firepower from overseas giants such as Guge and Pingguo, so that they can make a fortune silently.

Maili Group doesn't mind being used as a gun either.

The key is to have this strength.

After the simple opening remarks, Gu Mingzhang began to introduce the Xiyang operating system 2.0 to the participants in detail.

This is actually just a sub-plan of the soil system.

Specifically for mobile phones.

Therefore, at the press conference, there was no resounding slogan of "connecting everything".

The biggest feature of the Xiran operating system is, of course, that it is different from Android and IOS. It is the first to adopt the microkernel module and realize a great leap forward in the mobile operating system.

Another great feature is-

The Xiran operating system can realize seamless switching with the Android system. Any smartphone equipped with the Android system can realize one-click switching of the mobile phone operating system as long as you download the Xirang Assistant.

It saves a lot of trouble for the user.

This is also because both Android and Xilang are based on the open source code of Linux and have similar underlying architecture logic, so they can be switched between each other.

Just like Hongmeng in the original time and space.

"Xilang will uphold the principle of openness and open it to all mobile phone manufacturers around the world for free, without discrimination, and it will be free forever without any additional requirements." Gu Mingzhang said.

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience, obviously knowing that this was an ancient song.

The two are completely on the bar.

After introducing the Xiyang operating system, just when everyone thought that this developer conference was coming to an end, Gu Mingzhang unexpectedly launched the design plan of the wheat grain smart watch.

"This is the first generation of wearable smart devices jointly developed by Maili Group and the Wotu Research Institute under the parent company, bringing users a new extreme experience."

Gu Mingzhang introduced with a smile.

"????"

There was a commotion in the audience, and the media reporters couldn't wait to search for every detail.

Be sure to capture first-hand information.

"Wearables, smart watches..."

Although this is not a completely new concept, as a mature commercial product, it is definitely the first time, and it was proposed by the mobile phone giant Maili Group.

Credibility naturally soared.

"Smart watch, I didn't expect that Mai Li secretly held back a big move."

"If I remember correctly, Maili should be the first mobile phone manufacturer to announce the design of a smart watch, right?"

"Be confident, it's the first one!"

More importantly, Gu Mingzhang not only announced the design plan of the wheat grain smart watch, but also announced the follow-up launch schedule, which will be officially released in September and will be distributed before December.

In other words.

What Maili Group has come up with is already a mature design.

Instead of drawing big pies, play with concepts.

"Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect that one day, our electronics company in China will be able to produce a smart product that is ahead of the world. Just this alone is enough to make people proud."

"No way, germination represents a miracle, making the impossible possible!!"

"Sprout, eternal god!!!"

The developers in the audience chatted and looked eagerly.

Even Mr. Ren, who was sitting next to Zhang Shuo, couldn't hide his surprise in his eyes. He couldn't help giving Zhang Shuo a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "The grain of wheat is amazing, and it's one step ahead!!!"

"It's just a small step." Zhang Shuo smiled.

There is no doubt that after today, Maili Group will become more dazzling.

The same is true.

The developer conference has not yet ended, and the news about the Maili smart watch has spread rapidly on the Chinese Internet.

It's all about admiration and praise.

"Wheat grain cow beep, budding cow beep, cute king cow beep!!!"

"Cool, just the ultra-modern design of the wheat grain smart watch is enough to attract me. It's nothing. When it goes on the market, I must buy one."

"In the area of ​​industrial design, Wheat has always been very good."

"That's right, the design of Maili X1 is still an unsurpassed classic."

"I said before that the Maili mobile phone and Maili tablet are all on par with Pingguo. Now, Maili finally has its own unique product, and it's Pingguo's turn to be envious."

Of course, there is no shortage of yin and yang.

"Is Renping really envious of this? What kind of smart watch, it looks like an IQ tax."

"That is to say, the screen of the watch is so small, what can it do?"

"Hehe, why do I smell a sour smell?"

"It's the sour taste. As soon as the wheat grain smart watch comes out, some filial sons and grandsons should break their defenses." The yin and yang of a small number of people were quickly reprimanded by netizens.

Can't afford to turn over any big waves.

Because the appearance design of the Maili smart watch is too amazing and unexpected, its popularity even overshadowed the real protagonist of the Spring Developers Conference - the Xiyang system.

But it doesn't matter.

The current interest soil system itself is not oriented to consumers, but to developers.

Even the Maili mobile phone will not be officially equipped with the Xiyang operating system until the Maili X3 is released. At that time, old models such as the Maili X2 can also be updated synchronously.

Therefore, it is normal to have a low degree of discussion on the Internet.

On the contrary, the industry is generally uneasy about the emergence of the Xiran operating system.

For example, ancient songs.

"Boss, according to the information we have so far, the soil-breathing system developed by Maili and Warwick is indeed unique, and it doesn't look like a gimmick." Brother Pichai reported to Peggy again.

"Is it unique?"

Peggy looked gloomy, "I only care about whether Xiran will replace Android."

"This one……"

Brother Pichai did not respond positively, because in essence, this is beyond the control of Gu Ge.

Whether it is Maili or Huawei, as a mobile phone manufacturer, they have the right to choose what kind of mobile operating system to use, and there is no need to report to Gu Ge.

Including a group of Chinese mobile phone manufacturers.

"In addition to Maili, Chinese local mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei, Xiaomi, and OV have risen rapidly in the past two years, and their share in the global smartphone market is also steadily increasing."

Brother Pichai gave a plausible answer.

But Peggy understood. The implication is that with the strength of China's local mobile phone manufacturers, it can completely support an independent ecosystem and support the new Xiran operating system.

Then replace it with Android.

If that is the case, only a few mobile phone manufacturers such as Samsung and H Factory will be left for Android to rely on in the future, and its global influence will inevitably suffer a severe setback.

"Then find a way to prevent local Chinese mobile phone manufacturers from uniting together."

Peggy was flustered but not flustered.

"I heard that Xiaomi and other manufacturers have been fighting against Maili all the time?"

"There are such rumors."

Brother Pichai took advantage of the situation and said, "I suggest that the president of the Greater China Region issue a detailed report."

"can."

Peggy nodded in approval.

.........

In the beautiful country, the headaches are not limited to ancient songs, but also Pingguo.

Although the headache is not the same.

Guge was afraid of the Xiran operating system, while Pingguo was completely unprepared for the birth of the Maili smart watch, and was caught off guard.

"Tim, this sucks."

The person who spoke was Jonathan, the director of Pingguo's design department, who is responsible for the appearance and experience of software and hardware, and is regarded as one of the souls of Pingguo.

Now it is frowning.

"I have analyzed the relevant information, and the appearance design of the Maili smart watch is very amazing, even surpassing our internal solution, which is really incredible."

Jonathan had similar setbacks when the wheat grain X1 came out before.

This time even worse.

"The worst thing is that Mai Li rushed ahead of us and announced the relevant smart watch design plan, which will make our design plan look very bleak, and there will be no surprises at all."

Jonathan's mood is quite bad.

"Is it possible that Maili stole our trade secrets?" Tim, the CEO of Pingguo, frowned at the same time, feeling threatened.

This kind of emotion is the first time.

In particular, it is even more unbelievable that this kind of threat does not come from a company in the beautiful country, or Samsung, but from a Chinese company.

"I wish that was the case, but it's not realistic."

Jonathan shook his head in frustration, "The design work of the smart watch itself is highly confidential, and there is no possibility of leakage, let alone such a complete disclosure."

"Furthermore, although I don't want to admit it, the design of the Maili smart watch is obviously more amazing, and even I can't help but marvel."

"So, in theory, there is no possibility of plagiarism."

"so……"

Of course Tim knew it too, but he was holding on to the last sliver of hope.

It also stems from the arrogance in the bones.

I simply don't believe that a company from China can come up with such an amazing design.

That must be plagiarism! ! !
"The question now is, how do we deal with such an unfavorable situation?" Jonathan reminded.

"response?"

Tim frowned, and said with a wry smile, "Is there anything else we can do besides just wait and see?"

"cannot!"

Jonathan thought for a while, then shook his head in frustration.

"That's it, don't be discouraged, Jonathan!!!" Tim regained his confident smile, "Compared with wheat grains, Pingguo still has an unrivaled brand advantage."

"In the eyes of global consumers, Pingguo represents advanced and high-end products."

"So, even if the Maili smart watch comes out before the Pingguo smart watch, it will not be able to shake our dominance in this field at all."

"Consumers in most parts of the world will still prefer apples over wheat."

Of course except Huaxia
"Tim, when you say that, I feel better."

"That's how it should be."

There is no doubt that Tim is a qualified CEO, "Do what you should do well, and while there is still time, make the design of the Pingguo smart watch as perfect as possible."

No reason to say.

Pingguo's industrial design standard will lose to Maili Group.

"And, later on, I will also ask the operation department to let the public know that Pingguo already has a design plan for the smart watch, but it has not been announced to the public for the sake of confidentiality."

There was an inscrutable smile on Tim's face.

"You mean, deliberately trying to give consumers the illusion that the wheat grain smart watch is not the only one, or even the first?" Jonathan is not stupid.

"That's what I mean."

With Pingguo's global brand influence, Tim has reason to believe that this trick can work.

Consumers are actually very deceived.

Especially once an inherent impression is formed, the brand will be maintained instinctively and spontaneously.

Just like protecting a calf.

Just like Yuanshikong, no matter how amazing Huawei’s mobile phones are, there will always be a group of unswerving fruit fans on the Chinese Internet, insisting that Pingguo is the best and the most conscientious.

Pingguo is really high-end, not Warwick.

even said——

There is such a small group of people who have regarded Pingguo as a kind of faith, and would rather be cut as leeks than die.

Brainwashing yourself belongs to yes.
