"I don't think the subsidy war will start so soon." Wang Xin expressed a different view.

"How do you say it?" Zhang Shuo became interested.

"Although Nomi.com and Dacong Dianping announced their merger, it was only a verbal merger. Subsequent personnel integration, business integration, APP merger and other matters are all complicated and cannot be finalized in a short time.

, it will take a month or two at the earliest. By the time the integration is completed, it will be almost the Spring Festival." Wang Xin understands this very well.

Not to mention the reciprocal integration of Nomi.com and Dacongdianping. When Moutuan was integrated into Qingcheng Group, it took several months to truly digest and implement it and truly integrate it into one.

That is to say.

Wang Xin judged that the subsidy war will happen after the Spring Festival.

"The integration of Nomi Dianping takes time, and Ahli doesn't have that," Pei Weiping reminded.

"Ahri was forced to accept the challenge this time. If Nomi Dianping didn't pull the trigger, Ahri would definitely not end in a hurry. Ahri's money didn't come from the strong wind." Wang Xin smiled.

Pei Weiping's lips moved but in the end he said nothing.

There is no doubt that Pei Weiping's performance in this report was actually quite bad. Not only did the suggestions he made fail to gain the approval of the big boss, but he also failed to come up with remedial measures.

In comparison, Wang Xin's performance was passable.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Lu Kai said with a smile: "If you want to scare Ah Li, there is actually another way, which is to start Qingcheng Group's capital increase plan in advance."

According to the service agreement signed between Qingcheng Group and Qinghe Technology, Qingcheng Group will need to pay a second service fee of up to 10 billion to Qinghe Technology in March next year.

for this fund.

Zhang Shuo has said long ago that he will not conduct equity financing, but directly increase capital.

This is what Lu Kai was talking about.

"That's a good idea."

Zhang Shuo's eyes also lit up, "Ali and Qiandu are both small shareholders of Qingcheng Group. Once the tens of billions capital increase plan is announced, I think both companies will be a little wary and unable to figure out our movements."

That is to say.

Although Zhang Shuo has decided not to participate in the subsidy war, Qingcheng Group may not give a detailed explanation on this matter, nor will it say that it will participate or not.

If the capital increase plan is presented at this time, it will easily make the outside world think that Qingcheng is stocking up on ammunition.

Even if Ali’s determination cannot be shaken, the food delivery subsidy war will be postponed until after the Spring Festival. By then, the [Life] function of Qingcheng APP will have almost been launched for testing.

"Then this is double insurance, basically foolproof." Wang Xin agreed with a smile.

"OK."

Zhang Shuo did not want to dwell too much on this issue, "That's it, Qingcheng will not participate in subsidies, and will immediately start research and development of [life] functions and take a long-term development path."

Pei Weiping and Wang Xin naturally had no objections.

In fact, this simple meeting also set the Qingcheng Group’s main development plan for next year, which is to promote Qingcheng Bicycle in the first half of the year and test Qingcheng Taxi in the second half of the year.

………

After discussing matters related to Qingcheng, Pei Weiping and Wang Xin left first.

The meeting is still going on.

Lu Qi, the rotating president, followed the topic just now and reported: "In addition to Qingcheng Group's need to increase capital next year, Qingyun Data will also increase capital. Will they also be discussed together?"

With the completion of the southern Sichuan data center, plus daily operations and R&D support, Qingyun Data has spent 7788 yuan of the 2.5 billion in Series A financing.

The operating funds for next year have not yet been secured.

If you do not want to start Series B financing, then all major shareholders will need to increase their capital in the same proportion.

"Can."

Zhang Shuo also considered this matter, "Then increase the capital by 5 billion in one go to save the trouble of going back and forth."

"Five billion? Will there be some tightness in terms of funding arrangements?"

Lu Qi took out a pen and paper to calculate on the spot.

"The group holds 64.05% of the shares of Qingcheng Group and needs to spend 6.405 billion to increase its capital by 10 billion. It holds 90% of the shares in Qingyun Data and needs to spend 4.5 billion to increase its capital by 5 billion. Adding them all together is 10.905 billion."

It's really not a small amount of money.

"One hundred and eleven billion..."

Zhang Shuo also scratched his head a little, thought for a moment, and said: "Well, everyone happens to be here. Let's take this opportunity to make statistics on the various business lines of the group and the major expenses expected before the Spring Festival."

It's better to be aware of it.

When Gu Mingzhang saw this, he was the first to report: "Mr. Zhang, Xirang Technology has completed its registration, and it will take one or two months for the registered capital of one billion to be received."

"Okay, one billion."

Zhang Shuo also followed Lu Qi's example and wrote down something in his notebook.

"In addition, because Daosui Group needs to complete its layout in the field of quantum chips, starting next month, the group headquarters will need to reallocate research and development funds." Gu Mingzhang said.

"Another three hundred million."

When it comes to R&D expenditures, Zhang Shuo has always made generous contributions.

Then Jiang Yue reported: "After Eastern University of Science and Technology is approved, according to our previous commitment, the library of Eastern University of Science and Technology will be donated by Chunmiao Fund. The total project budget is 1.5 billion, and start-up funds need to be prepared."

A library with a budget of 1.5 billion is also a first-class existence from a global perspective.

This is Zhang Shuo's selfish motives.

He will graduate with a master's degree next year and has no plans to continue studying for a doctoral degree. Naturally, he will not be able to continue to stay at Binhai University.

After graduation, you need a new place to live.

The Oriental University of Science and Technology was renovated and built in Houhai, close to the water. Zhang Shuo simply asked the Chunmiao Foundation to contract the school's library project, making up his mind to build a first-class library in Asia.

From now on I will spend time in the new library.

"This must be supported. We will allocate 300 million in start-up capital first and strive to complete it before September next year." Zhang Shuo is also heroic for the future of a free world.

"In addition, for the Fertile Soil Award next month, the bonuses also need to be prepared in advance." Jiang Yue continued to report, "The funds previously allocated by the Chunmiao Fund have almost been used up."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Then allocate one billion to the Spring Sprouts Fund in one go."

Although Zhang Shuo does not pay as much attention to public welfare undertakings as before, his support has not diminished.

"The last thing is the year-end bonus, not counting subsidiaries, but for the group headquarters, if we benchmark against last year's standards, we need to prepare a year-end bonus of 200 million to 300 million yuan." Jiang Yue reminded.

And obviously.

If this year's sprouts reach a new level, the year-end bonus will naturally increase.

"Then let's prepare according to the standard of 300 million."

Zhang Shuo felt a slight pain in his liver. Now that he had opened his mouth, everyone came to collect debts. After a rough calculation, the estimated expenditure was as high as 13.6 billion.

Really scary.

Mainly because the New Year is approaching and money is needed everywhere.

"Let's do this." Zhang Shuo quickly made a decision, "This month, the capital increase of Qingcheng Group will be completed first, and the capital increase of Qingyun Data will be reduced to 4 billion, which will be carried out next month."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Lu Qi said nothing more and immediately reported: "Mr. Zhang, the charter of the board of directors has been drafted. You can convene a shareholders' meeting at any time to elect the first board of directors."

"very good."

Zhang Shuo raised his head and asked: "When will Olivia return to Coastal City?"

"Factory H has given in. The last obstacle to the acquisition of Licheng Technology has been removed. Olivia is expected to return to Binhai City tomorrow." The person who answered was Lu Kai, who was responsible for connecting with Olivia.

"You gave in so quickly?"

Zhang Shuo was a little disappointed. He thought Factory H was so tough, but Qingqing was also a coward. It can be seen that the trump card he used before was indeed very powerful.

"Then the shareholders' meeting will be held the day after tomorrow." Zhang Shuo quickly made a decision.

Since Sprout Group only has three shareholders: Zhang Shuo (individual), Dream Fund, and Chunmiao Fund, the so-called shareholders' meeting is actually just a formality.

Board member Zhang Shuo has already made the decision.

………

Two days later.

On this day, a big news happened in the mobile phone industry. The new mobile phone released by OV was the first to launch 1080P high-definition effect, which established the former's positioning as the main camera function.

It's true that there is something.

At the same time, the imaging laboratory jointly established by Maili Group and Leica was officially unveiled in Maili Building, announcing Maili Mobile's ambitions in imaging systems.

morning.

Sprout Group held a low-key shareholders' meeting and elected five directors, Zhang Shuo, Olivia, Jiang Yue, Lu Qi and Lu Kai, and Zhang Shuo as chairman.

Upon nomination by Zhang Shuo, Jiang Yue will also serve as secretary of the board of directors.

It can be said that the establishment of the board of directors of the Sprout Group is only a necessary step to improve the corporate governance structure, and will not have any substantial impact on the specific decision-making and operations of the Sprout Group.
