Chapter 196 The idea of a creative industrial park
Zhang Shuo didn't know.
With the addition of Zhao Xiaohu, Tenda has regarded Buya as a comprehensive competitor.
He is busy raising money.
In order to obtain a patent license from Nokia, it is a planned expenditure of nearly 10 billion. Although Zhang Shuo has made a rough plan, he must also hold down his responsibilities.
The first one to find was Lu Kai.
However, they did not call Lu Kai back to Binhai headquarters from Xiangjiang, but directly made a video call through Weixin.
"When will the overseas agency fees for the three games of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment - "Brain Master", "Snake" and "My Kung Fu Special" - be paid?" Zhang Shuo asked.
After evaluation, the total agency fee for the three games is 450 million.
A little lower than previously expected.
"Overseas financing has been started, and the money is expected to be received within a month." Lu Kai was still a little nervous when his boss suddenly came to ask for debt. He didn't know what happened.
Put it aside.
Even with the 850 million transaction for "Subway Surfers", Zhang Shuo was not pressed for payment.
Because of nervousness.
Lu Kai also subconsciously shortened the financing time by half a month, fearing that the holding company was short of money.
Wait for the rice to be cooked.
"What about the overseas version of WiChat? How is the progress of the project?" Zhang Shuo then asked.
“!!!!”
Lu Kai felt nervous and realized that the holding company might really have a problem with its capital chain.
But you can only report it truthfully.
"The company in the beautiful country has been registered, and I have also been in contact with the Thieves Group. The other party has indeed shown a strong interest in Wichat. But for the project to be truly implemented, the funds and technical information involved are very large.
It’s complicated and may take some time.”
"How long will it take?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"Two months?"
"It's been too long." Zhang Shuo shook his head, "Compared to WhatsApp, WiChat is already lagging behind in development, so we have to work fast and get the company off the ground as soon as possible."
He's not just trying to collect payment.
"Then I will fly to the beautiful country tomorrow and supervise this matter personally." Lu Kai did not choose to shirk the blame or even defend himself, but chose to carry out the instructions firmly.
This is also the basic quality of professional managers.
"Then please!"
Zhang Shuo also appreciated Lu Kai's responsibility and said: "If the overseas financing in Xiangjiang does not go smoothly, you can contact Professor Wu and he will help match the strings."
Appropriate trouble for Professor Wu will also help to enhance the relationship between them.
"clear."
Having been hanging out in Xiangjiang all year round, Lu Kai certainly knew Professor Wu.
…………
Hang up the video call.
Zhang Shuo pulled out another report from the filing cabinet, which was an investigation report on Lingnan's mobile phone manufacturing industry submitted by the Investment and Mergers and Acquisitions Department last month.
I also found the section about copycat mobile phone manufacturers.
He soon locked in on Hengteng Electronics, a medium-sized electronics factory headquartered in Guancheng Industrial Park and mainly engaged in assembling functional copycat mobile phones.
The past two years.
With the rapid rise of smartphones, not only feature phone giants like Nokia are dimming day by day, but many copycat phone manufacturers that emerged in the feature phone era are also having a hard time.
Bankruptcy, bankruptcy, bankruptcy.
Of course, in the future, smartphone copycat manufacturers will definitely be spawned to continue to “lead the trend.”
Hengteng Electronics is one of them that is in a difficult situation. The boss started his business by relying on copycats and reaped the dividends of the feature phone era. However, the factory has already faced losses in the past year.
It is said that there is an intention to transfer it.
Needless to say, Zhang Shuo naturally fell in love with Hengteng Electronics and planned to acquire it. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Maili Technology, he would be responsible for the production and manufacturing of Maili mobile phones.
In addition to the fact that Hengteng Electronics has a moderate scale and also has a mobile phone license, it is also because Hengteng Electronics’ factory is built in Guancheng Industrial Park and the surrounding land supply is sufficient.
In the industrial park, there are more than a dozen copycat mobile phone manufacturers similar to Hengteng Electronics.
This leaves ample room for development for Maili Technology’s future production line expansion.
Think of this.
Zhang Shuo immediately called Luo Changan, the manager of the investment and acquisition department, handed over the information on Hengteng Electronics, and said with a smile: "Find a way to acquire this electronics factory within a month."
It's not that Zhang Shuo is impatient.
If Gu Mingzhang has already negotiated the patent license with Nokia, once Nokia exposes the news, Suiya will be very passive.
It's hard to guarantee that no one will try to take advantage of it.
Everyone knows that Sprout is going to enter the mobile phone industry, so why won’t it raise the price?
It's better to keep a steady hand.
"Is it a wholly-owned acquisition?" Luo Changan asked.
In fact, as early as three months ago, he had been privately informed by Zhang Shuo that Suya might enter the mobile phone industry in the future, which is why there was an investigation report obtained by Zhang Shuo.
Such a detailed survey report cannot, of course, cover all industries.
"certainly."
Zhang Shuo answered resolutely, "In addition to Hengteng Electronics, you can also try to contact several other electronics factories in Guancheng Industrial Park. I only have one request, sign the contract within a month."
"clear!"
Luo Changan was quite confident. When making the investigation report, he learned from the side that the boss of Hengteng Electronics seemed to be planning to sell the factory and invest the funds in real estate speculation.
It is expected that the resistance to the acquisition will not be great.
…………
May 8, Sunday.
Today is Mother's Day, but Zhang Shuo came to Tang Lao Xiaoyuan again.
The more times he came here, the more he gradually fell in love with this special courtyard. Although he was in a prosperous city like Binhai City, he could maintain a peaceful and peaceful place.
Summer has just begun in the south, and the weather in Binhai City is already pleasant.
The small courtyard is equally lush, with peppers, beans, eggplants, and cucumbers all growing vigorously and blooming charming little flowers, quietly waiting for the arrival of the summer harvest season.
Sitting under the pavilion, it feels like you are suddenly immersed in nature from the hustle and bustle of the city.
My mind suddenly becomes clear.
At this moment, it seemed that all calculations, worries, and worries were forgotten.
Enjoy this moment of peace to yourself.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Shuo also gradually began to understand why Mr. Tang chose to spend his old age here.
It is truly a paradise.
Even my second uncle likes to run here when he has no official duties on weekends.
Rarely quiet!
Just after playing two games of chess with Zhang Shuo, the old man couldn't sit still and started playing with his fruits and vegetables in the vegetable field. The second uncle then played with Zhang Shuo.
There is no one left on this card.
"I heard that you poached a senior executive from Tenda?" Tang Yi asked with a smile.
I don’t know since when, this small courtyard has become the main platform for Tang Yi and Zhang Shuo to communicate, both privately and informally.
There are many things and many things that can be discussed openly.
No scruples.
Zhang Shuo was also happy to have a heart-to-heart talk with his second uncle, and replied with a smile: "I didn't mean to poach people. Zhao Xiaohu's work at Tengda was not going well for me, so I just let nature take its course."
"That's why Germination is attractive enough." Tang Yi rarely praised Zhang Shuo.
yes.
The sprouts are becoming more and more dazzling day by day. Who can ignore the existence of Zhang Shuo?
Zhang Shuo would also like to keep a low profile, but his strength does not allow it.
Today's sprouts have grown to the scale they are today, and every move they make is put under the microscope. Overtly and covertly, they are watched by countless people and forces.
How can it be hidden with just a low profile?
Just like this "Zhao Xiaohu job-hopping" incident, even people with the status of my second uncle knew about it.
The second uncle will definitely not take the initiative to pay attention to this matter.
But if I can't help it, the people around me will pay attention to my second uncle and report at any time.
"I'm just afraid of being shot first." Zhang Shuo laughed at himself.
He was also worried that Su Ya had been too popular and would encounter many unexpected troubles in the future.
Just like being cared about by the "bastard boys" before.
Tang Yi glanced at Zhang Shuo, took the position easily, and said meaningfully: "There is no need to tie yourself up because of this. As long as you operate in a compliant and legal manner, you should feel free to do it boldly."
"Then I'll take my second uncle's good advice."
Zhang Shuo was also very happy. This was the first time that his second uncle expressed his support for Mei Ya so directly.
It’s really rare.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shuo didn't hide it and deliberately provoked the topic of mobile phones, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Uncle Er. Recently, Mei Ya has to stir up some things, so the noise will probably not be small."
"tell me the story."
Tang Yi's curiosity was really aroused.
With the current size of Sprout, if it wants to make any big move, it will definitely require hundreds of millions of funds.
"Is such that……"
Zhang Shuo announced that he would establish Maili Technology and purchase a patent license from Nokia.
"You want Monkey King to cause trouble in heaven."
Tang Yi really didn't expect that Sprout would also enter the mobile phone industry, and as soon as he made the move, he was prepared to invest nearly 10 billion in huge funds, which was really a super big deal.
Even if it were placed in Binhai City, a city with developed commerce and trade, it would be a sensational event.
No wonder Zhang Shuo said he wanted to make a fuss.
"Of course I support Su Ya's plan to build a mobile phone, but can it handle it financially?"
No wonder Tang Yi has this question.
At the end of last year, the overall valuation of Germination was just over 10 billion. In less than half a year, a single investment was expected to reach 10 billion.
It's unbelievable to be true.
Tang Yi is also worried that if the pace of sprouting is too fast, the foundation will easily become unstable.
If Zhang Shuo hadn't always behaved very calmly and maturely, without being impulsive or childish at his age, Tang Yi would probably have stepped in to stop him.
"The funds can barely cope with it."
Zhang Shuo couldn't explain to his second uncle in detail that it was a bug in his own system.
"It would be nice if we could arrange to come over."
In view of Zhang Shuo's good reputation accumulated in the past, Tang Yi still chose to believe Zhang Shuo, "If you really can't turn around the funds, you can come to me. I dare not say it is too much, but a loan of more than 1 billion can still be approved."
This is also the limit he said he could support.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Zhang Shuo was very moved. This was the first time that his second uncle took the initiative to speak.
"Is such that……"
"After obtaining the patent license, I have a small suggestion about setting up a creative industrial park in Houhai. I wonder if you, Uncle Er, are interested in hearing it?"
