Chapter 169: Germinating Mission, Ten Years to Sharpen a Sword!
Teasing Zhao Mingchuan and livening up the atmosphere.
Zhang Shuo continued his deployment, this time targeting Qingyun Data.
"The next stage of Qingyun Data's goal is to build a large data center in the central and northern areas. Then set up server hubs in each province to form a data network covering China."
"clear!"
Du Ruiwen was very excited.
Despite Zhang Shuo's understatement, if it were to be fully implemented, it would cost three to four billion.
Definitely a super gold-eating beast.
To realize Zhang Shuo's "cloud" dream, this is only the second stage. The third stage is to build a global super data center in northern Sichuan province and create "cloud on the north of Sichuan".
The amount of investment is even more terrifying.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand why Ali is the only big player in domestic cloud computing.
If you don't have any strength, you really can't play.
"Needless to say, Sprout Real Estate. In addition to buying land to build a R&D center, we must immediately start the youth apartment project and find a powerful real estate developer to cooperate in the development." Zhang Shuo told Jiang Yue.
"clear!"
Jiang Yue also behaved extremely well-behaved.
Even if Zhang Shuo keeps talking, he will spend another two to three billion.
As for the final Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, like Qinghe Technology, it is also an asset-light company and has basically taken shape. There is nothing special to explain.
Just waiting for many hit games to be produced one by one.
To Cao Yanhua, Zhang Shuo only mentioned the acquisition of original music copyrights and the development of an anti-addiction system and a minor protection system.
In the end, he decided to first place the music copyright under the framework of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.
"After coming down, each subsidiary will formulate detailed business plans based on today's meeting decisions, and then the finance department will make a fund use plan." Zhang Shuo instructed.
As a decision-maker, his job is to set the general direction.
Senior executives include the following teams. Their main task is to refine Zhang Shuo's major decisions, improve them one by one, and find ways to turn the difficult-to-implement parts into implementable ones.
This is also their greatest value.
This is not to say that Zhang Shuo is dictatorial. As a start-up company, the founder is the sole soul of the company, and any decision must reflect his will.
Even though some of the decisions made at the time seemed unreasonable or even ridiculous.
The people below must also find ways to resolutely implement it, rather than being self-righteous, completely overturning the founder's decision, and instead proposing another, seemingly more feasible plan.
That often turns out to be shortsighted.
Both Ahri and Tengda both went through such a stage in the beginning.
Facts have proven it time and again.
Some of their seemingly crazy decisions at the time were beyond the limitations of the times.
Success is no accident.
On the contrary, after becoming bigger and stronger, many of the founders' decisions may not be very wise, because excessive success will cause people to form path dependence.
It might even float directly...
…………
After the meeting, Zhang Shuo returned to the office and breathed a sigh of relief.
Making decisions is fun.
But power and responsibility are complementary to each other. As the CEO of Meiya Holdings, Zhang Shuo, while enjoying the glory of being admired by the stars, also shouldered the greatest responsibility of Meiya.
most of the time.
The person with the greatest pressure is often the one who makes the final decision.
Moreover, at the meeting, Zhang Shuo only talked about Sprout's current business, which was still focused on the Internet industry, and the two major business sectors of mobile phones and electric vehicles were not yet involved.
Automotive field.
Lu Kai has already contacted Zeng Qun, the founder of Linde New Energy. The other party is indeed preparing to establish Linde New Energy, but he still has doubts about whether to accept investment from Jiaoyang Holdings.
I guess Lu Kai will have to do more work.
As for getting involved in the design and manufacturing of electric vehicles, we have to wait until the second half of the year at the earliest.
Mobile phone field.
Gu Mingzhang, whom the passive headhunter card points to, should be the last chance for Mei Ya to get involved in mobile phone manufacturing, and it is also a difficult nut to crack.
Gu Mingzhang has not yet made up his mind to resign from Nokia.
Secondly, given the current state of Germination, Zhang Shuo could not guarantee that Gu Mingzhang would agree to join.
In the final analysis.
There are still not enough coffee spots in Germination.
Zhang Shuo plans to wait until new games such as "Subway Surfers" are launched and sells overseas agency rights before contacting Gu Mingzhang in order to increase his bargaining chips.
It would be best if we could successfully recruit a few scientists during this period to build up our momentum.
to be honest.
If Zhang Shuo just wanted to make money in peace of mind, he shouldn't have entered the mobile phone industry.
It's a bit thankless.
In the next ten years, driven by Apple and others, although the domestic mobile phone industry chain will be very complete, core components such as chips will rely heavily on imports and will easily get stuck.
Domestic mobile phones often only have amazing sales, but their net profits are not high.
At least far less than the game industry.
However, just such a small amount of meat is still being competed by many domestic mobile phone manufacturers, and the profit margin is almost compressed to the extreme.
It belongs to an industry that is beautiful on the surface but sad behind the scenes.
Zhang Shuo remembered that Wang Tao, the former CEO of Time and Space Technology, once complained about domestic mobile phone manufacturers represented by Xiaomi in an interview.
It basically has no core technology and is just an assembly factory. The difficulty is even lower than that of the air conditioner and other home appliance industries. It can only be in the same echelon as small home appliance manufacturers.
It is more of an advertiser than a manufacturing leader.
That’s outrageous!
Compared with mobile phones, in the field of electric vehicles, China has the conditions for overtaking in corners. Not to mention lithium batteries are unique in the world, and most other components can also be domestically produced.
This is why.
Around 2021, Internet companies have entered the field of electric vehicles one after another, all trying to get a piece of the pie.
It's really just a matter of digging in wherever the opportunity arises.
The involution is awesome!
If Suya can successfully invest in Linde New Energy, it will be considered as a ticket.
Let’s go back to the mobile phone.
If Sprout really wants to enter the mobile phone industry, Zhang Shuo will definitely not be willing to become the second Xiaomi.
What's the point?
However, it is indeed a bit difficult to achieve overtaking in the field of mobile phones. If nothing else, just one chip can make you stuck.
The experiences of the original time and space are still vivid in my mind.
So what if you do well? If you threaten someone's status even slightly, you will be ruthlessly suppressed.
I can only endure it silently.
And if Zhang Shuo doesn't want to become the second Warwick, then the only breakthrough is to achieve localization of chips, but he also has to get involved in a key link in the chip industry chain.
But how easy is this?
From the refining of raw materials, to chip design, to key production equipment such as photolithography machines, to chip design software, and finally to production, packaging and testing, China does not have an advantage.
Zhang Shuo is just a reborn person and has no black technology.
To paraphrase Mr. Huawei Ren, domestic enterprises have been accustomed to taking advantage of capital, labor costs, market and other advantages to promote qualitative changes through quantitative changes and achieve overtaking in a very short period of time.
Can be biased.
The chip field is an industry where there are absolutely no shortcuts. It is an industry that cannot be burned out no matter how much money is spent. This is a bit dumbfounding.
So what does the chip industry need?
Funding comes next.
What is mainly needed is basic research, and there are many scientists who are used to sitting on the bench and can endure loneliness, including mathematicians, physicists, chemists, etc.
This is also one of the starting points for Zhang Shuo's "Hundred Talents Plan".
It's just that for such a big thing, it would be difficult for Zhang Shuo to accomplish it with just his own strength, even if Zhang Shuo had a vision beyond his time.
What is needed is collective effort.
Therefore, Zhang Shuo is torturing himself when Sprout wants to enter the mobile phone industry.
It's a bit like a martyr.
"But isn't this the meaning of sprouting?"
If what Sprout keeps doing in the next ten years is to keep making games that existed in time and space, to take Weixin out of Tenda's pocket, and to invest in some unicorn companies that would have been successful in the first place.
The value of Zhang Shuo's rebirth will be greatly reduced.
It can even be said to be a failure!
To enter the mobile phone industry, to be precise, is to try to overcome the chip difficulty. It is not only a path that Germination must take, but also a ten-year test question that Zhang Shuo has set for himself.
Just now.
Zhang Shuo was not even qualified to enter the examination room and take the exam.
The first step is to make a mobile phone. First, extend your tentacles into the electronics industry. After making a name for yourself in the industry, you will slowly try to change the industrial structure.
Not to mention subverting everything, even if you only have a little core technology, you can have some say.
No longer at the mercy of others.
Of course, before officially entering the mobile phone industry, Moya was not really unable to do anything.
At least it can slightly assist basic subject research in domestic universities.
This is never a loss.
When Zhang Shuo established the Chunmiao Fund, in addition to using it for public welfare, another very important purpose was to fund basic subject research in major domestic universities.
But this is an extremely complex proposition.
This is not to say that Chunmiao Fund simply provides one billion or two billion in funds, and then asks everyone to line up to share the cake. You take some, I take some, and this can be done.
It's possible that the money was spent, but it didn't even make a splash.
To accomplish this, we need not only the full cooperation of major universities, but also one or two experts in the field of basic subject research to guide the sprouts.
