Chapter 533 Stepping down as CEO, Zhang Shuo retires early? !

The integration of the system with Xingling is undoubtedly a solution for Zhang Shuo.

Before, he was required to sit in Germinal headquarters from time to time, watching Germinal's every move up and down, and beware of being deceived and fooled by the people below, and now he can basically sit back and relax.

There is Xingling who helps him keep an eye on him around the clock.

After connecting to the Germination Intranet, with Xingling's ability, he can even monitor the real-time work status of each employee under the Germination, as well as the flow of every fund in the Germination account.

As long as the digital office is realized, Xingling will be everywhere.

And Zhang Shuo.

It is the biggest boss hidden behind Germination.

In view of this, after signing and approving the appropriation application for the new quarter, Zhang Shuo personally presided over the regular group meeting and announced in public——

He will step down as the CEO of Sprout Holdings and be replaced by Group President Lu Kai.

"This, chairman, is it too sudden?"

Happiness came too suddenly, as calm as Lu Kai, and he was a little confused at the moment.Gein Zhang Shuo had been vaccinated before, saying that he expected to step down as CEO in about 20 years.

This was three years ahead of schedule, and Lu Kai was not ready at all.

"It's nothing sudden or not."

Zhang Shuo was very calm, "In the past three years, you have done a good job as the president, and your achievements are obvious to all. Now you are well-deserved to take over the position of CEO of the group."

Unknowingly, it has been three years since Germination canceled the rotating president system.

If the tenure of the rotating president is counted, then Lu Kai has served as the president of Germination for more than five years. Even if it is seniority, it is completely qualified.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Shuo decided to resign early, not just a temporary idea.

That's too irresponsible.

"Then, chairman, you will have to check on any important issues of the group in the future." Lu Kai was still a little guilty, and had long been used to working under Zhang Shuo.

"Don't!"

But Zhang Shuo was not fooled, "After stepping down as CEO, you should be fully responsible for the follow-up of Germination. In the future, I will rarely appear in the company except for attending the regular Monday meeting and the board of directors."

It's basically half-retired.

With the title of CEO, Lu Kai can be regarded as the second person in the true sense of Germination Holdings. He can fully represent Germination on any occasion, and attend any event or important meeting.

Speak up for Germination.

Lu Kai only held the title of president of Germination Holdings before, so the gold content is still a bit low after all.

It's completely different now.

According to the company's articles of association, Zhang Shuo, who stepped down from the position of CEO and only served as the chairman of Germination Holdings, even only needs to be responsible to the board of directors, and does not need to participate in the daily business activities of Germination.

Just entrust Lu Kai with full authority!
The most important thing is that after stepping down as CEO, Zhang Shuo will no longer accept reports from group executives including Jiang Yue, Gu Mingzhang, and Luo Changan, as well as presidents of group subsidiaries such as Du Qingqing and Tang Xiang.

These executives will all report to Lu Kai instead.

In the future, Zhang Shuo only needs to make any major decisions about Germination Holdings at the board meeting, or summon Lu Kai alone.

In a sense, Lu Kai is the spokesperson of Zhang Shuo in the bud.

"This…"

Seeing that the big boss was determined to retreat behind the scenes, Lu Kai was immediately paralyzed.

But also can only helplessly accept the reality.

It would be a little hypocritical to postpone it any longer.

After all, no matter what, Lu Kai is also the biggest beneficiary of this personnel adjustment, and his full job title will soon be changed to "Executive Director, CEO and President of Germination Holdings".

The rank has also been promoted from the previous M13 level to M14 level in one fell swoop.

Don't look at it as just being promoted to one level, for Lu Kai who is already standing at the top of the pyramid, this step is tantamount to ascending to the sky, truly one person!
And Lu Kai will also become the most prestigious professional manager in the world.

none of them!

.........

In the afternoon of the same day, the President Office of Sprout Holdings issued an internal open letter announcing relevant personnel adjustments.

The news quickly spread to the Internet.

"Big news, Meng Wang is really planning to retire early."

"If I remember correctly, Meng Wang just celebrated his 30th birthday not long ago, right? He's about to retire now, woohoo, the worker is so envious that he's about to cry..."

"30 years old, semi-unemployed, earning a small goal every day, who are you talking about?"

"Tsk tsk, you are indeed a role model for my generation!"

"Mengwang has retreated bravely, the younger generation of entrepreneurs is just playing around!"

"Yeah, Germination has grown into a very mature and large company so far. Meng Wang chose to step down as CEO at this time. It seems sudden, but it is actually very reasonable."

"There are precedents for foreign founders such as Gu Ge."

"Although Meng Wang stepped down as the CEO, he is still the chairman of the bud holdings, and also the largest shareholder and talker of the bud holdings, but he has just moved from the front stage to the backstage."

"Being the big boss behind the scenes, right? (dog head)"

It's not just the netizens who watch the fun, but people in the industry will inevitably discuss it when they get the news.

"It's really unexpected."

After reading the news, Er Ye felt so complicated that it could no longer be described in words.If it were him, if he was still so young, no matter what, he would have to continue working for two to thirty years before he would consider letting go.

"It seems that I really can't keep up with this era." The second master smiled bitterly.

The second master was not the only one who was surprised. Business leaders like Uncle, Rebus, Brother Dong, etc. also expressed their incomprehension about Zhang Shuo's sudden half-retreat.

"Boss, is there a possibility that Zhang Shuo's development has entered a bottleneck period, and Zhang Shuo chose to step down as CEO at this time?" Ren Xiaoyao had a different guess.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

The uncle also felt the same way, "In the past year, although Germination was still advancing by leaps and bounds, it was all in the expansion and improvement of the original business field, and it really didn't come up with anything new that made people's eyes dark."

It can be said that, the uncle should be sour or sour.

After all, Mengya's so-called "staying in place" is more than one step better than Ahri.

The gap! ! !
.........

Zhang Shuo didn't care about the comments from the outside world. In the next period of time, he began to arrange his "semi-retirement" life step by step.

And just as the Spring Festival was approaching, it almost completely disappeared from the public view.

January 1, the second day of the first month.

"Are you really going to retire?"

Taking advantage of Zhang Shuo's New Year greetings, the second uncle Tang Yi finally couldn't hold back and asked out his doubts.He was really worried that without Zhang Shuo, what would happen to Germination.

"It's not considered retirement, it's just that it's no longer involved in day-to-day management."

Zhang Shuo did not disclose the existence of Xingling.

After the integration of the system with Xingling, although Xingling's intelligence level has been improved by several orders of magnitude, it still maintains a low level of operation, which basically matches the intelligence level of Xingling's "application".

Of course, the "evolution" will be accelerated at a reasonable speed in the future.

just now.

Obviously, it is not appropriate to disclose Xingling's secrets to the outside world, and this is also Zhang Shuo's biggest hole card.

"I just want to take more time to recharge myself and think about budding strategic issues." Zhang Shuo gave a panacea-like explanation.

"I'll take you seriously."

The second uncle obviously didn't believe Zhang Shuo's nonsense, and asked with a smile: "Next, do you have any new plans? You can't say, stay at home so early and take care of the baby?"

He still hoped that Zhang Shuo would do something, after all, it was the hand of a miracle.

"The temporary plan is to continue my studies at the Eastern University of Technology and strive to obtain a doctorate. After that, maybe I will be a teaching assistant or a librarian at the Eastern University of Technology?"

Without the entanglement of Germinal affairs, Zhang Shuo is quite at a loss to be honest.

He is still young.

You can't start eating and waiting to die now, what's the matter, you have to start the second half, right?
"Teaching and educating people? It's good."

Tang Yi nodded slightly, but still didn't believe that Zhang Shuo would really hide himself like this.

.........

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to March.

On March 3, Intel announced that it had acquired the technology company Mobileye for $13 billion.

This high-priced acquisition can help Intel enter the first camp of auto parts suppliers in one fell swoop, and it will also intensify the competition between the world's automakers and suppliers in the field of autonomous driving technology.

Autonomous driving seems to be becoming a trendy topic more and more.

At the same time, Qinghe Group renewed the three-year service contract with Qingcheng Group, and Qingcheng Group's food delivery, tourism, shared bicycles and other businesses will still obtain secondary traffic entrances in Weixin.

As for the transaction price, both parties chose to keep it secret.

The biggest news in March was that Huaxia announced the establishment of Xiong'an New District, and Sprout Holdings responded immediately, announcing the acquisition of land in Xiong'an New District, and plans to build Sprout's Asian headquarters.

Support the construction of Xiong'an New District with practical actions.

But even with such a big move by Germination, Zhang Shuo did not appear at the signing ceremony.

Continue to hide away.

Afterwards, there was news that Zhang Shuo was in retreat to study for a Ph.D.

The time also quietly came to May.

On May 5, SK Group announced that it will acquire the remaining 5% of the company's shares in Siltron.As early as January this year, SK had acquired a 49% stake in the company at a price of US$1 million.

It is reported that Siltron is a company that manufactures semiconductor silicon wafers, the basic material of semiconductor chips.

Since then, SK has completed the vertical layout of semiconductor production.

It's a pity that SK's actions seem to be a little slow. With the rapid rise of Inao Group and Huaxia Microelectronics, the global semiconductor industry has long been reshaped.

Even in the field of semiconductor basic materials, Huaxia is also making rapid breakthroughs.

It is very difficult for Goryeo to have the opportunity to surpass.

On May 5th, Germination celebrated its seventh birthday in a low-key manner.

Just one month later, Mango Group held its third global conference. In addition to updating the Mango M series and S series, it also launched the sports car series Mango P1, officially entering the sports car market.

It once again caused a global sensation and received rave reviews!
In particular, the assisted driving system equipped on Mango Automobile, after being connected to the artificial intelligence star zero, the level of intelligence has been improved by leaps and bounds, and it is known as a new generation of black technology.

So far, Mango Automobile has completely established its position as the global leader in new energy vehicles.

.........

With the dominance of Mango Automobile, July has come quietly.

But also extremely lively.

On July 7, Ahri's first unmanned supermarket officially settled in Lin'an, which is another new attempt by Ahli in the field of offline supermarkets after Hippo.

But only Zhang Shuo knows that compared to Hippo, Ahri's unmanned supermarket has not been successful.

It can even be called a failure!

And on the same day, the undersea tunnel of the Super Factory Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was completed, which is of great significance.

a.

Wanda reached a deal of the century with Rongchuang. The former sold 631 cultural tourism projects and 76 city hotels under it at one time at a sky-high price of [-] billion.

The industry generally bad-mouthed Wanda, thinking that this is the beginning of Wanda's decline.

As everyone knows, this became Wanda's stroke of genius.

Five years later, Wanda, which has shed its burden, is about to break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly. As the acquirer, Rongchuang, which is enjoying great prosperity at this time, is on the verge of bankruptcy due to blind expansion.

It's really embarrassing!

And just when this acquisition known as the "deal of the century" attracted the attention of the Internet, the official release of the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" clarified the strategic goals for the development of a new generation of artificial intelligence.

It also completely paved the way for Germination's layout in the field of artificial intelligence.

When the time came to the end of July, TEC, Weijing Semiconductor, and Samsung Wafer announced almost at the same time that they had broken through the advanced 10nm chip manufacturing process.

The global wafer foundry market is truly ushering in a new pattern of tripartite confrontation.

And obviously.

With the backing of Inaosui Group and Weijing Semiconductor, which is a big tree that has sprouted, it will gain a first-mover advantage.

The future prospects are particularly promising!
Samsung's last advantage over Bud, here it is, is gone! ! !
.........

At the same time, Tang's old courtyard.

Zhang Shuo, who didn't show up for more than half a year, sat under the gazebo, playing chess and chatting with his second uncle.

Compared with Zhang Shuo's Buddhism, the second uncle Tang Yi is still aggressive. Just a week ago, he was officially promoted to Governor of Lingnan, a big step forward.

Finally, he became a member of the governor's side.

The second uncle's promotion undoubtedly gave Zhang Shuo a shot in the arm.

More peace of mind!
"You boy, you really can hold your breath. It's been more than half a year, and you've been soaking in the library like this?" Tang Yi couldn't see Zhang Shuo's buddhism.

"Recharging, of course you have to go all out, not just pretending."

Zhang Shuo explained with a smile.

"Furthermore, it's not easy to get a Ph.D. from Eastern University of Technology, okay? If you don't prepare carefully, the outside world will probably think that I'm going through the back door."

In fact, it is also through the back door.

As half of the founder of the Eastern University of Technology, Zhang Shuo wants to study for a Ph. D. It is not a matter of a word.

There is no need to take any exams at all.

But from Zhang Shuo's point of view, he still wants to say that he should seriously study the knowledge.

Of course, in addition to preparing for the exam, Zhang Shuo is indeed doing some things in private. For example, with the cooperation of Xingling, he issued overseas acquisition orders to Dream Fund and Vision Fund.

Another example is that a large-scale leek cutting trip is being prepared recently.

"You, you!"

Tang Yi pointed at Zhang Shuo with his fingers, and smiled without saying a word. He still doesn't believe that Zhang Shuo can really stay in the university campus peacefully.

It's just that he still can't guess what kind of medicine is sold in Zhang Shuo's gourd.
