That night, Zhang Shuo flew back to Binhai City overnight.
It's not that he is in a hurry, but tomorrow, Friday, January 14th, Wujiang Technology will formally establish its board of directors. Zhang Shuo will be nominated as a director and will participate in the first board meeting.
Zhang Shuo personally serves as a director because he also wants to take the opportunity to get closer to Professor Wu.
otherwise.
He could have asked Jiang Yue or other executives to replace him on the board of directors of Wujiang Technology.
Wujiang Technology is not listed on the market, and relevant information does not need to be disclosed to the outside world.
So until now, the outside world doesn't know that Sprout Holdings has invested in Wujiang Technology. Even if they know, those investment institutions probably don't have much interest in Wujiang Technology now.
Instead, it’s Hao De’s map.
As a listed company, after Sprout Holdings acquired 10.5% of the shares held by Director Liu, the board of directors will disclose major matters to the outside world tomorrow.
By then, you will know everything you need to know.
The board of directors of Haode Map will also be reorganized in due course, with Germinal Holdings nominating a director to replace Director Liu.
Zhang Shuo plans to let Du Qingqing, general manager of Qingcheng Technology, serve as the director of Haode Map on behalf of Germination Holdings. This is because the acquisition of Haode Map will pave the way for local life services.
Du Qingqing's entry into the board of directors of Haode Map is also conducive to the strategic cooperation between Qingcheng Technology and Haode Map, and access to map positioning and navigation services in the Qingcheng APP.
When necessary.
Sprout Holdings will also find ways to dispatch financial personnel to Haode Map.
There is only one purpose, that is, from now on, all major decisions of Haode Map cannot bypass the major shareholder of Sprout Holdings.
It's like inserting an eye directly into the high ground of the Haode map.
…………
The second day of the board meeting went smoothly.
The five directors on the first board of directors of Wujiang Technology include CEO Wang Tao, Professor Wu, CFOs Lu Lu and Zhang Shuo, as well as an employee representative of Wujiang Technology.
The only thing that surprised Zhang Shuo was...
Wang Tao himself only served as vice chairman, and instead asked Professor Wu to serve as chairman.
Worthy of being Bole.
If it were Zhang Shuo, he wouldn't have such a broad mind.
Taking advantage of Zhang Shuo's rare presence in the company, Wang Tao announced Wujiang Technology's 2011 development plan at the board meeting, which mainly focused on strengthening research and development capabilities and focusing on multi-rotor drones.
At the same time, we will lay out drone assembly factories and rationalize the industrial chain of drone parts.
There are quite a lot of things.
"Are there enough funds?" Zhang Shuo only cares about this.
"enough."
Wang Tao was very puzzled, why did Zhang Shuo always wish that the company was short of money?
What a big dog.
Professor Wu saw the opportunity and said with a smile: "If you really have too much money and nowhere to spend it, I have a good project here. Zhang Shuo, do you want to invest in it?"
"What project?"
Zhang Shuo was immediately interested, but he had been waiting for Professor Wu to find him for cooperation.
"As I mentioned to you before, I am planning to join forces with some robotics scholars to create a high-tech manufacturing company focusing on the research and development of lightweight, high-performance robot products. The cooperation framework has been determined, and it is planned to be registered in Guancheng in March
.If you are interested, you can participate in the stock."
Professor Wu is indeed a man of his word.
"No problem, how much money do you need to invest in Germination?"
Zhang Shuo vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a company in Guancheng in the original time and space, and the name was quite difficult to pronounce.
Of course I don’t want to miss such an investment opportunity.
"You're a local tycoon." Professor Wu joked with a smile, "Because it was founded by many people, we will leave you a maximum of 35% of the shares. Sprout Holdings only needs to invest 40 million."
It seems that he was well prepared.
"Okay, then it's settled."
Zhang Shuo was also very decisive and did not bargain at all, showing his full trust in Professor Wu.
"good."
Professor Wu obviously appreciates this trust.
"By the way, Professor Wu, have you decided on a name for the company?" Zhang Shuo asked curiously.
"There are already several names to choose from. Do you have any ideas? You can also mention them." Professor Wu is very open-minded. After all, Sprout Holdings is also one of the company's major shareholders.
"WALL-E Intelligent Manufacturing, how is it?"
Zhang Shuo wanted to give the new company a more trendy name, which would be more in line with the tone of Sprout Holdings.
"This name is quite interesting, I might consider it."
After all, it was co-founded by many people. Professor Wu himself was very satisfied, but he did not dare to vouch for it.
…………
Jingshi, Xiaomi Company.
Just when Zhang Shuo attended Wujiang Technology's board of directors, Scarlet Capital had already learned in advance about Sprout Holdings' investment in Haode Map.
The reason is also very simple.
Scarlet Capital has also invested in Haode Maps, and someone also serves as a director of Haode Maps.
"What are you doing here?"
Rebus and others cannot understand Zhang Shuo's operation at all. Is it necessary to spend 450 million to invest in a map navigation company that is still losing money and has nothing to do with its own business?
Sprout Holdings is not an investment institution like Scarlet Capital, hoping to make a profit by going public.
And the Haode map is already on the market.
Money is burning?
Thinking of the so-called small business Zhang Shuo talked about, Rebus became even more depressed.
"Green Orange Retail, a subsidiary of Sprout Holdings, is launching an online ordering and delivery business in Binhai City. I estimate that Sprout Holdings' investment in Haode Map may have something to do with this."
The people at Scarlet Capital are still professional.
“Could it be that Sprout Holdings also wants to do group buying?”
Rebus could only think of this. He could not predict the broad prospects of food delivery and local life services.
"maybe."
From a professional perspective, people at Scarlet Capital actually don’t understand the investment logic of Bu Ya.
At once.
Have money and be willful.
No matter how many professionals there are in investment institutions, and how much industry information and data they have mastered, in terms of controlling future industry development trends, how can they compare to Zhang Shuo, who is hanging on the wall?!
Because I can't see clearly, I can't understand it.
"Where did Germination get so much money?" Rebus was more concerned about this.
Compared to Suiya, who has bought land to build a data center, bought a building, and made investments, Xiaomi is now simply a poor man and can only rely on blood transfusions from investors.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Get a bank loan."
People from Scarlet Capital know a little bit about the inside story, "We have conducted internal analysis and found that Germination's development strategy is actually very radical, and its debt ratio is also very high. Once the capital chain is broken, there is likely to be a thunderstorm."
Behind the scenes.
In fact, Scarlet Capital has also thought about doing something for Sprout Holdings in terms of loans, using some loss-making methods, such as persuading the bank to urge Sprout to repay in advance, so as to cut off Sprout's capital chain.
Once there is a problem with the sprout's capital chain, it can only resort to financing.
At that time, Scarlet Capital will be able to take advantage of the situation and force Sprout Holdings to accept investment.
Unfortunately, the effect is not very satisfactory.
The reason is also very simple.
Jiang Yue personally negotiated all the bank loans for Yi sprout holdings.
Jiang Yue herself has very deep connections in Binhai City, especially in the banking system. Her husband is a branch president, and her foundation is evident.
Those who can lend money to Sprout Holdings are basically acquaintances in the circle.
How can it be so easy to pry?
Second, all bank loans of Sprout Holdings are mortgage loans.
The collateral is also of high quality.
This means that the loans given by banks to Meiya Holdings are all high-quality orders. To a certain extent, it is not Meiya Holdings that is seeking banks, but the banks that are competing for the high-quality customer of Meiya Holdings.
No one dares to have any evil thoughts easily.
Once the bank gets into trouble, Sprout Holdings can find another bank to cooperate with.
It's not even limited to banks in Marina City.
Faced with high-quality customers like Sprout Holdings and under the overall climate of relatively loose credit, some banks want to cooperate with Sprout Holdings.
Therefore, it is simply impossible to cut off the bank loan channels of Sprout Holdings from the root.
No one has such energy.
Even if there is, what level of existence does it have? There is no need to compete with Sprout Holdings.
Scarlet Capital may have all the power in the investment circle, but if it wants to act like a monster, then in the eyes of real powerful people, it will just be a jerk.
Handling Scarlet Capital is like handling an ant.
Second uncle Tang Yi personally attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the Qingyun (Binhai) data center project, and his intimate behavior with Zhang Shuo sent a clear signal to certain people or organizations.
Everyone who can really come into contact with this circle knows it very well.
Before you want to do anything with Sprout Holdings, you have to think carefully about it?
No one can offend a behemoth and easily touch the bottom line of the rules of the game just for the sake of anger between an investment institution or a few incompetent disciples.
No one is stupid or foolish.
Of course, Scarlet Capital is also very self-aware and will not touch the red line easily, and it is even less likely to cause a lose-lose situation in order to retaliate against Sprout Holdings.
Totally not worth it!
To put it bluntly, Sprout Holdings does have investment value, but the domestic market is so big and there are so many unicorn companies that Scarlet Capital cannot afford to hang itself on a tree.
Sprout Holdings does not accept investment, and some start-ups are eagerly waiting for angel investors.
Why bother?!
Jianghu is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships.
In the process of its own development and growth, Sprout Holdings will certainly offend some interest groups, but it will also compile its own interest grid.
For example, Lubei and Houhai officials are very supportive of Sprout Holdings, a major taxpayer in the future!
Therefore, even without the support of the second uncle, Sprout Holdings is not so easy to handle. Scarlet Capital secretly tried several times, and after hitting a wall, it stopped.
I just didn't expect it.
Sprout Holdings kept silent, but actually invested in Haode Map.
"maybe."
Rebus was also skeptical about the people from Scarlet Capital.
He was actually envious of the fact that Sprout Holdings could get a loan from the bank. Unfortunately, even the office area of Xiaomi was now leased, so there really was no collateral to show for it.
You can only rely on money from investment institutions.
Just very depressed.
When he thought of this, Rebus became envious of the three mobile games owned by Sprout Holdings, and his ambition to make games began to begin again.
