my return 2002

Chapter 305
Soon, the news of the B-round financing of the three companies began to be reported by major media. Among them, two pieces of information were the most eye-catching. Naturally, Zhulang Technology’s valuation of 35 billion U.S. dollars was the first to bear the brunt.

This is the highest valuation for domestic unlisted Internet companies so far, which shows how optimistic the capital is about the development prospects of YY. This also directly led to a small drop in the share price of Penguin, a Hong Kong stock market, which fell by 2% that day.

It is said that a reporter stopped Brother Xiao Ma at the entrance of the Penguin headquarters and asked him his opinion on this matter. Brother Xiao Ma kept his face dark the whole time without saying a word, turned the reporter's microphone and left quickly.

Another piece of information is why Shen Lang suddenly raised funds at this time point. You must know that Shen Lang was very cautious about financing in the past, and it could even be said to be a little resistant. It was not until 05 that Shen Lang made the first financing.

More importantly, these three companies are not short of money. Since Zhang Yong reformed the company's internal finances, the company's internal business has to give money to each other. Even the least profitable 360 ​​security guards can pass Advertising costs, and corporate customer service fees to break even.

Inspur Technology has already made profits through the website navigation and 360 search engine to provide third-party technical service fees. As for Zhulang Technology, the profitability of YY Log and YY Space is good, and YY’s own advertising costs are enough to make up for it. Expenditures brought by servers and bandwidth.

So the outside world had a guess that Shen Lang had more than 100 billion cash in his hand, so he must be doing something big.

For a while, people in the Internet industry were in panic, for fear that Shen Lang's new business would overlap with his own company's business. You must know that 360 Ecology + YY's combat effectiveness is so strong. Except for a few leading companies, other companies simply cannot handle such a situation. Dimensionality reduction strike, not to mention that Shen Lang still holds so much cash in his hand, even if he throws money, he will kill people.

As a result, the bosses of many Internet companies approached Shen Lang through various relationships, hoping that he could let him know. Shen Lang's answer was always: be prepared.

Regarding this, even Zhu Jun complained that Shen Lang's mouth was an iron walnut, which he couldn't break open.

Of course, compared to other people, Jack Ma and Brother Xiaoma were the ones who were most panicked. Brother Xiaoma and Shen Lang had a long-standing grievance, and the last time they went to court was completely torn apart.

After getting the news, Brother Xiao Ma couldn't sleep all night. He called the Penguin executives together and analyzed it for a long time, but he didn't understand Shen Lang's next move. There was no news of any major projects from within Shen Lang's company. This also made Brother Ma even more uneasy.

"During this period, everyone cancels their vacations and keeps their mobile phones turned on 24 hours a day. We must always keep an eye on Zhulang Technology's every move!"

There is still one month until the Spring Festival, and the executives can only lament that it seems that this year can only be spent in the company.

Compared with Brother Xiao Ma, Jack Ma is actually more panicked. Shen Lang invested in JD Multimedia before, which made him very nervous. There is a sword hanging on it, ready to fall at any moment.

"Congratulations, Mr. Shen, the B round of financing has been a great success." Jack Ma called Shen Lang, full of congratulations and praise.

Shen Lang secretly laughed in his heart, and smiled a few perfunctory words calmly.

Seeing that Shen Lang kept practicing Tai Chi with him, Jack Ma had no choice but to reveal his intention.

"Mr. Shen is holding so much cash in his hand now, is he doing something big? If there is any money-making project, don't forget about me."

Shen Lang said with a smile: "Mr. Ma was joking, there is no money-making project, and now I am full of thoughts about how to spend money."

Jack Ma rolled his eyes when he heard this, if someone else said this, he would believe it, Shen Lang said this, he would not believe it ten thousand times, this guy has always been profitless, if he didn't spend money every time How can it be possible to develop to the current scale in four years after spending wisely?
"The purpose of spending money is to make money. Mr. Shen, don't be humble. I can't even match your investment vision." Jack Ma flattered.

Shen Lang pretended to sigh: "Hey, let me tell you the truth, Mr. Ma, I really don't have any ideas. It's not that the company is developing too fast, and it seems that it will not be able to accommodate people. I plan to build an industrial park, so I can raise funds. , don’t listen to those messy reports from the outside world.”

I believe you ghost, an industrial park needs 100 billion?Are you going to build the Qin Palace?Jack Ma was even more convinced that Shen Lang must be doing something behind the scenes.

Jack Ma immediately called Cai Chongxin to the office.

"From now on, all executives of the company will be on call 24 hours a day, all vacations will be cancelled, and Shen Lang will be watched to death for me!"

"Yes."

Shen Lang didn't take all kinds of guesses from the outside world to heart, but building an industrial park is an urgent task. Due to the rapid development of the company's business, the building bought a year ago is almost out of place. Zhang Yong persuaded Shen Lang to put the gym The demolition of the game hall, or the removal of the cafeteria were all rejected by Shen Lang.

"This is just a solution to the symptoms but not the root cause. In the future, the company's business will become larger and larger with the popularization of computers. One building will not be enough."

The side of Bibo Road is already full of high-rise buildings. There must be no place for him to build an industrial park. He can only find another place, which involves a problem-land.

The development of Modu in recent years can be said to be the best in the country. It is not easy to find a suitable place to build an industrial park. For this reason, Shen Lang specially found the leaders of the municipal party committee.

The leaders of the municipal party committee were very supportive, and immediately decided that Shen Lang could be granted a 20-acre piece of land.

However, Shen Lang said: "Leader, 20 mu of land is too small, which is not conducive to the future expansion of our industrial park. Can you approve more land?"

The leader of the municipal party committee stared blankly at Shen Lang for a long time, and said to himself: 20 acres is a lot, right?
"Then how much do you plan to ask?" the leader of the municipal party committee asked curiously.

Shen Lang thought for a while: "No matter what, it must be 200 mu!"

"How much? 200 mu?" The leader of the municipal party committee's eyes lit up. At first he thought that Shen Lang was just playing around and wanted to build a few office buildings. He didn't expect Shen Lang's ambition to be so big, and he asked for 200 mu.

"What do you want so much land for? All I can grant you is industrial land, and according to regulations, if there is no construction for two years, we will take it back." The leader of the municipal party committee asked doubtfully.

Shen Lang counted on his fingers: "Leader, look, we are going to build a data center in East China soon. According to our initial budget, we will invest at least one billion yuan, and our company's business is also expanding year by year. , we will definitely need to recruit a large number of employees in the future, we have to provide accommodation, catering, and entertainment facilities for these employees, right?"

"And I have also invested in some other projects, such as AI Intelligence Research Institute, Star System."

After listening to Shen Lang's words, the leaders of the municipal party committee looked at him differently. He just took office and didn't know much about the enterprises in the area under his jurisdiction. He didn't expect Shen Lang's family to be so rich, even with a smile on his face, he was more kind .

"Haha, young people are more courageous than us old guys." The leader of the municipal party committee praised a few words and then said in embarrassment.

"However, Mr. Shen, the 200 acres of contiguous land must be gone on the inner ring road. How about I set aside a piece of land on the outer ring road for you?"

Shen Lang frowned slightly. As an international city with a long history, Shanghai is far behind Pengcheng in modern development. It was not until the 2003s that it began to vigorously develop and build. The outer ring road of Shanghai did not open to traffic until [-]. .

At this point in time, the Outer Ring Road is still at the junction of urban and rural areas, and many places are far behind.

"Leader, if it's in the outer ring, can you grant a few extra pieces of land for me to build welfare housing for employees." Shen Lang thought for a while and decided to take the opportunity to raise conditions.

The leader of the municipal party committee looked at Shen Lang suspiciously: "Employee welfare housing? Are you rewarding the employees directly? Or selling it to the employees?"

Obviously, this is treating Shen Lang as a second-hand businessman, but it's not surprising that many companies are playing such sidelines.

Shen Lang said sternly: "Of course it is directly rewarded to the employees, the leader. In fact, our company has established an employee house purchase fund since last year. As long as employees who have been in the company for two years can apply for a low-interest loan of 20 yuan, but you also know , now housing prices in Shanghai are rising too fast, and within a few years, 20 yuan will not be enough to pay the down payment at all. Our Internet companies have a great demand for cutting-edge talents. It is impossible for employees to work hard for more than ten years. Can you rent a house?"

The leader of the Municipal Party Committee patted Shen Lang on the shoulder and praised: "Well, Mr. Shen is right. This is indeed a problem. If a devil wants to attract high-tech talents, it must let them live and work in peace. How about it? You have 30 acres of land, but the ugly words must be said first, once any illegal operations are discovered, the government will take back these lands unconditionally!"

"That's natural. We are a high-tech company, not a real estate company." Shen Lang immediately patted his chest and assured.

The leader of the municipal party committee nodded, and then called the leader in charge of land planning to the office. After three days of investigation, Shen Lang finally decided on the location of the industrial park in a piece of land close to the inner ring road in Minhang.

The leaders of the Minhang area were naturally overjoyed. They never dreamed that such a big piece of pie would fall on their heads. They immediately expressed that they could first help Shen Lang to carry out three connections and one leveling of the land.

This can also save Shen Lang a lot of money, and Shen Lang will naturally not refuse. The design of the industrial park is handed over to the Magic City Design Institute. The Magic City Design Institute also attaches great importance to sending the best design for such a large project. The team went to the site to investigate.

All of this was quickly spread, and many Internet companies that were still nervous before secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Shen Lang's financing might really be just to build an industrial park.

But Brother Xiaoma and Jack Ma firmly believe that this is just a smoke bomb released by Shen Lang. After all, an industrial park does not need to invest so much money in the early stage. One billion yuan is enough, and there is no need for more than 100 billion yuan. He is sure What kind of big killer is plotting.

However, in fact, Shen Lang was really taking a rest when the Spring Festival was approaching. If he insisted on saying that he was busy with something, it would be the end of the year.

The employees have been busy for a year, and they are exhausted both mentally and physically. It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Shen Lang wants to give them some surprises at the end of the year.

What is a surprise?It must be something that the staff can't imagine.

In terms of prizes, Shen Lang directly approved a budget of 3000 million yuan with a swipe of his pen. All prizes have improved in quality compared to last year. The lowest consolation prize is a Meizu M6, and the second prize goes directly to a BMW 5 series. The first prize is a set of 80 square meters of three bedrooms.

In order to maintain a sense of mystery, Shen Lang did not give these prizes to others, and they were all run by his family. Naturally, he also used his talent for bargaining, and it turned out that there were hundreds of thousands left in the 3000 million budget, which was not spent. After finishing, simply wrap it into a red envelope, and send one to each person at that time.

By the time Shen Lang finished all this work, it was already February 2th, the day of Valentine's Day, the company gathered in the five-star hotel venue except for the staff on duty.

Along the way, many people took photos with mobile phones and digital cameras, and then shared them on their YY diary.

"Haha, today is the end of the company's year-end, and there is a surprise as soon as we come. The boss personally sent out a red envelope. Open it, and there are thirty grandpa Mao. I'm happy!"

Then a large number of messages immediately appeared below.

"Sure enough, other people's companies have never let me down, but it's so fucking bad, I don't even have so many year-end bonuses!"

"Hey guys, is your company still hiring?"

"Ma Dan, I remember someone from your company won a house at the end of last year, right? What is the prize this year?"

The employees of the company are very satisfied looking at the envious and hateful comments below. Although they are usually very tired at work and often have to work overtime, they are really paid a lot. See which has their good.

However, this is just the beginning. With the arrival of the end of the year and the final lottery, when the employees found out that the first prize was actually a three-bedroom apartment of 80 square meters, and not just one set, but five sets. The entire venue went crazy, let alone the employees, even the management was jealous.

According to the current housing prices in Shanghai, such a house costs close to 100 million yuan, and the salary of many managers is only [-] yuan a year.

The list of prizes was soon posted on the Internet, causing discussions all over the Internet.

"Fuck, which company is this? So rich?"

"It's so sour, if you win the first prize, isn't half of your life goal accomplished?"

"Hey, I thought this year was good at first, and I got a year-end bonus of 5000 yuan, but it turned out to be nothing compared to others!"

"This is a good boss. Take the real money and share it with the employees, unlike some bosses who will draw big cakes!"

In the hotel venue, there were screams one after another, and the reason was very simple. The first first prize came out, and it was a young lady wearing braces.

When the young lady came to the stage to receive the award, she was so excited that she staggered as she walked.

Shen Lang gave the little sister a comforting hug, and helped her face the crowd, feeling a little emotional.

"In the past four years, thanks to everyone's hard work, the company has become what it is today. I hope that every year in the future I can stand here and share the joy of harvest with everyone. Thank you!"

"Long live the boss!"

"Boss Shen, I love you!"

The screams rang out again, and the crazy scene was posted on the Internet, which quickly became a hot topic in society.
