I have a thousand suites in Shenzhen

Chapter 211 Penguin’s Crisis

A large number of scientific and technological talents from various industries who have studied in the United States have returned to China for development. This has also attracted the attention of the relevant departments in Shenzhen Town, who have given these people the green light in all aspects.

What is most important in the 21st century is the development of science and technology, and promoting the development of science and technology requires a large number of scientific and technological talents, so scientific and technological talents are the most important.

Shenzhen Town is developing rapidly in all aspects. Whether it is economic development or technological development, it is inseparable from the emphasis on talents.

Although most of these people were invited back to China by the Anguo Group, the headquarters of the Anguo Group is in Shenzhen, and the technology research and development centers of the companies under the group are also in Shenzhen. Therefore, the arrival of these scientific and technological talents is also important for the development of Shenzhen. It is extremely beneficial, and they can also obtain political performance benefits.

Therefore, some departments in Shenzhen Town, in front of everyone, promised to give some policy rewards to those who are willing to return to China for work and development.

Major cities in China have some policy subsidies for these talents who have returned from overseas.

For example, in terms of housing subsidies, priority in household registration, and children's schooling, although Anguo Group has strong financial resources, it still has to fight for the benefits provided by the government.

For example, in terms of technology research and development expenses, there is policy support, which is also a lot of money! You must fight for what you should fight for.

There are also land aspects, such as building the company's office building, technology research and development center, supporting living quarters for the company's employees, kindergartens for employees' children, schools, employee hospitals, etc. These all require land application.

After all, these are not commercial lands. Of course, they need land support from local policies. Not to mention completely free, at least they are much cheaper.

Anguo Hospital is also a commitment of Anguo Group to these scientific and technological talents who have returned from overseas. It will build a first-class hospital, hire first-class doctors, and purchase the most advanced medical equipment to protect the health of these scientific and technological talents.

In addition, the entire Anguo Group is so big, with hundreds of thousands of employees, it really needs a large hospital of its own, and perhaps several more Anguo hospitals will be built in the future!

According to the latest statistics, the entire Anguo Group has as many as 170,000 formal employees, and it is still growing rapidly.

Among them, Anjing Online Supermarket has the largest number of employees, and Anjing Online Supermarket includes offline supermarket stores, as well as Anjing Logistics and Anjing Takeout. Anjing Logistics has a large number of couriers, and Anjing Takeout also has a large number of delivery riders.

In Yi Anguo's view, the 170,000 employees are just the beginning. With the rapid development of Yuhou, just the delivery riders and the delivery boys will exceed one million.

This is not an exaggeration at all. Before Yi Anguo was reborn, he read online data that there were tens of millions of delivery riders across the country, and there were as many as 700 million riders in one group alone, but they included a large number of part-time workers. .

But despite this, more than ten years later, the number of employees of Qiangdong Group who have paid five social insurances and one fund has reached more than 50.

It is not an exaggeration for Anguo Group to have more than one million employees in the future.

After all, Anguo Group is much larger than Qiangdong Group, and it covers more industries. It is not only an Internet shopping platform company, but also a technology manufacturing company and a property management company. It not only develops and produces mobile phones, but also develops and produces new energy. Batteries, automobile manufacturing, chip R&D and production, etc.

So will there be more than one million people in the future? In Yi Anguo's opinion, it's not much at all.

After all, we have not yet entered the era of mobile Internet. The number of people shopping online is still limited, and there are not many people ordering takeout. However, Jingjing online supermarket, offline physical stores, logistics, and takeout are all just at the beginning of their development. Staying in some first-, second- and third-tier cities, there are even some provinces in the mainland that have not yet developed.

After all, Jingjing Online Supermarket is following an asset-heavy route. It needs to open up logistics channels first, supervise the establishment of logistics centers and warehousing centers, and establish at least one offline physical supermarket in a city.

And Anjing Online Supermarket has only been established for a few years? It only took more than three and a half years to reach its current scale. This speed is already considered very good.

Of course, the rate of burning money every year is also very good. The faster the development, the faster the rate of burning money.

Measured individually, Anjing Online Supermarket is definitely making money, and a lot of it.

But because it has been expanding rapidly and developing into more cities, the speed of making money can never keep up with the speed of burning money. Overall, it is losing money every month, and it needs to continue to Invest a lot of money to fill it.

With continuous investment, the shareholdings promised to employees will also be continuously diluted, but as the total amount increases, the employees' shareholdings will only become more valuable. This is something that the company's management and old employees are very aware of. clearly.

As for Quiet Online Supermarket, in which Penguin holds 20% of its shares, if it wants to avoid being diluted, it has no choice but to keep investing.

As soon as Yi Anguo returned to Shenzhen, he received a call from Penguin Company, asking him to meet for dinner.

Although Yi Anguo didn't know, what was the reason why Ma Huatong suddenly called him and asked him to have dinner?

But Yi Anguo didn't ask, let alone refuse, but readily agreed to him.

After meeting, they discovered that Zhou Mengdie was also present, but Yi Anguo was not surprised. After all, they were neighbors when they were children, and Zhou Mengdie had always told Ma Hua to love his brother.

Yi Anguo smiled and said: "Boss Ma is really good at calculating things. I just returned to Shenzhen Town and you called me to invite me to dinner. Could it be that you have been paying attention to me?"

"Haha! I have arranged an undercover agent in your company. Sister Mengdie is here. I want to know your whereabouts. Isn't that easy?" Ma Hua said with a painful smile.

"Brother Ma! You are so bad that you betrayed me. You will never ask me to help you again." Zhou Mengdie joked with a smile.

"It's okay! I betrayed you, and An Guo wouldn't dare to do anything to you? Otherwise, as my brother, I wouldn't agree to it. I insist on letting him taste how powerful my fist is." Mahua Pain Said with a smile.

"With your size, I'm afraid you may not be my opponent." Yi Anguo said without showing any weakness.

The three of them joked with each other for a while, and the atmosphere became very harmonious.

After ordering the food, it was quickly served. The three of them ordered a bottle of red wine. After almost eating and drinking, Ma Huatai started to get down to business.

"Penguin's development has been very good this year, its stock price has also risen sharply, and its market value has increased rapidly, reaching a market value of 400 billion US dollars." Mahuatong said confidently.

"What happens after the disaster? Fetion is plundering Penguin's users, Xinglang Weibo is also working hard, and Penguin's user base is losing. Am I right?" Yi Anguo said with a sneer.

"Are you also paying attention to these situations? I thought you didn't care about these things?" Ma Hua Tong said a little surprised.

"What do you think? I am the major shareholder of Penguin Company!" Yi Anguo said with a smile.

Hualong Investment Company, a subsidiary of Anguo Group, holds 21% of Penguin's shares and is the second largest shareholder after the South African company. Yi Anguo secretly holds % of the shares of Penguin Company. Because it is held by several of his children on his behalf, there is no need to publicly raise the placard.

However, in January 2010, Yi Anguo had already reduced his holdings a lot. He still held a lot of Penguin shares. After all, a large amount of selling would cause the stock price to plummet.

Therefore, even though Yi Anguo reduced his holdings and cashed out HK$1.5 billion, he only reduced his holdings by 5%.

Despite this, Yi Anguo is also the well-deserved largest shareholder of Penguin Company, holding more than 26% of the shares so far.

Based on Penguin's maximum market value of US$400 billion, this alone makes his assets as high as US$100 billion.

Although 21% of the shares are held by Hualong Investment Company, this is a company that is % solely owned by him. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is his personal assets.

After Ma Hua Tong heard this, he could only helplessly smile and shake his head. Although Penguin Company was founded by him, as the founder of the company, he was now just working for others.

The better Penguin Company develops, the more profitable it is, and the higher its market value is. As the company's largest shareholder, Yi Anguo is therefore the biggest beneficiary.

"How is it? Do you feel very stressed? The market value of Mobile Company is several times that of Penguin Company?" Yi Anguo joked.

"Mobile Company is indeed very big, several times the size of Penguin Company, but it is not a big deal. After all, it is a company within the system, and its management is rigid. Even a small change needs to be reported to all levels and discussed at a meeting at the top. By the time the decision was made and implemented, I don’t know how much time had passed." Ma Hua Tong said with a bit of disdain.

"I don't regard Fetion, a mobile company, as our competitor. Our biggest enemy should be Xinglang's Weibo."

“So I also plan to create our own Penguin Weibo to compete with Xinglang Weibo.”

"Penguin Weibo? I don't think it makes much sense. I'm not very optimistic about Penguin also doing Weibo. Instead of working hard on it, it's better to continue to work on social chat software for instant conversations."

Mahuatong frowned and said: "We have no domestic rivals in the field of instant calling and social chat software, so how can we work hard?"

"Do you really think that's the case? Do you think Penguin has no rivals in the field of instant calling social chat software?" Yi Anguo asked in a deep voice.

"Believe it or not, I will set up a company immediately to develop an instant calling social chat software that will beat your Penguin chat software in minutes."

"I know that although you are very rich, you can't scare me. In China, if you want to use instant messaging social chat software with me, I'm really not afraid of you. No matter how much money you spend, you can't defeat the current one." Penguin social chat software, even if I re-establish a company and develop a new social chat software, there is no way it can be a rival to Penguin social chat software." Ma Hua Tong immediately retorted unconvinced.

"You have to know that people have preconceptions and inertia. Everyone is already accustomed to using Penguin to socialize and chat with friends online. Even if you develop a new social chat software, there is no way to change people's social habits. .”

"In that case, why do you still think of starting Penguin Weibo?" Yi Anguo asked.

"That's different. The current Xinglang Weibo has just started to exert its influence. We launched Penguin Weibo and can still be competitive. Even if we can't dominate the world, we can at least compete with each other." Mahuatong explained. .

“We just lost the opportunity, but it’s not without our efforts, and it’s not without the possibility of latecomers catching up.”

"I tell you very seriously that the future belongs to the era of mobile Internet. Although you have also made mobile phone Penguin software, it is not good enough. As long as I make a brand new mobile chat software, I will definitely be able to defeat you. Penguin." Yi Anguo said very seriously.

"Don't think that I am worrying in vain. I just don't want to take action. You'd better not doubt my ability, let alone the words I said."

"And today there is Fetion, and tomorrow there may be some chat software. Don't think that Penguin has developed to the present, with a market value of 3000 billion Hong Kong dollars and 400 billion US dollars, and you can sit back and relax."

"It is not impossible to be surpassed by others accidentally."

“So Penguin must maintain the mindset of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and must create a mobile social software that is suitable for use on mobile phones. Once it is surpassed by others in mobile social software, Penguin will be in danger. "

"When the mobile Internet era arrives, your Penguin chat software will be like a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless and a pity to discard."

"In the future, smartphones will be like computers. As long as you have a smartphone in your hand, you can surf the Internet anytime and anywhere."

"At that time, who will sit in front of the computer and chat with friends using Penguin chat software?"

"Nowadays, 3G mobile phones have opened 3G networks in some cities, including Shenzhen. Now it seems that the Internet is not very convenient and the cost is high. The traffic is too expensive, and not many people are willing to use it."

"But this is just a transitional stage. In a few years, 4G networks will be popular. By then, traffic will be greatly reduced and Internet speeds will be greatly improved."

"It will be very convenient to use your mobile phone to access the Internet. You can use your mobile phone to shop online anytime, anywhere, chat online, read news online, watch videos, and make direct video calls with friends and family. , and it costs almost nothing, just a few dozen yuan a month for traffic is enough. At that time, who would use a computer to chat on Penguin."

At first, I listened to Mahua Pain a little carelessly, but the more I listened to it, the more uneasy I felt, and my face couldn't help but change.

If using a mobile phone to surf the Internet is more convenient and even faster than using a computer to surf the Internet, if all people become accustomed to using smartphones to surf the Internet and use mobile phones to shop and chat online, then for Penguin, it will indeed be Not a good situation.

"Have you ever thought about why Penguin, a mobile phone company that launched Penguin Mobile, has developed so fast? It has hundreds of millions of users?" Yi Anguo asked again, like a warning.

"I tell you, there is only one reason, that is, Fetion Mobile is better than your mobile phone Penguin chat software. Using Fetion Mobile to social chat with friends on your mobile phone has a better, stronger, and more convenient experience. convenient."

"So everyone unanimously chose to use Fetion Mobile to chat instead of the mobile Penguin chat software they were already familiar with."

"When chatting using Fetion Mobile, just press and hold the voice button to speak, and you can record the voice message and send the voice message directly to the other party."
