Chapter 208 Green Orange Base Camp Attacked, Children's Day Gift?
"Which city does Dianping want to try out takeout?" Erye asked.
"Coastal City."
"What?"
The second master was obviously taken aback, "Dian Ping doesn't know, is Binhai City the headquarters of Qingcheng Technology?"
"That's why we chose Binhai City. As long as Dianping wins Qingcheng Technology in Binhai City, other first- and second-tier cities won't be a concern and we can be unstoppable," Lu Jian explained.
"What a courageous person."
The second master is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. He quickly calmed down and began to think about it.
Whether it can be done or not.
"It is indeed a risky move, but as long as we increase our takeout subsidies, we still have a good chance of winning this battle. Let's see whether Sprout dares to fight a subsidy war with us."
Lu Jianke is an old fox, "I heard that Suiya's capital chain has been very tight recently."
"Actually, Qingcheng Technology's advantage in Binhai City is not as great as we imagined." Renyu interrupted at the right time and said with a smile: "Although Qingcheng Technology was testing the waters in Lubei as early as the end of last year.
The takeout business has now expanded to the entire Binhai city, but Qingcheng Technology also has a fatal weakness.
"That is, the threshold for merchants to enter is set very high, and non-well-known restaurant chain brands simply cannot squeeze in. Mid- to low-end takeout is actually monopolized by Qingcheng Retail's stores.
"When Da Cong Dian Ping started the group buying business, he had already entered the information of the catering merchants in Binhai City. In terms of the number of merchants settled, it is actually higher than that of Qingcheng Technology."
To be honest, Renyu doesn’t quite understand the operation mode of Qingcheng Technology.
"Qingcheng Technology has set such a high entry threshold. I heard that it stems from Zhang Shuo's so-called ideal, which is to make white-collar workers all over the world eat clean and hygienic takeaways." Lu Jian heard some rumors and sneered.
Obviously, he also disagrees with Zhang Shuo's "ideal".
"Then do it!"
The second master is also looking forward to seeing how Mei Ya can move.
"The business model of Qingcheng Technology is a bit thankless. Compared with Qingcheng Technology, I think that the bad group is the biggest competitor of Dianping, and we should pay special attention to it." Renyu suddenly interjected.
"Mold?"
The second master looked deeply and said calmly: "Then it depends on how ambitious Ah Li is."
In the Internet field.
If Mei Ya is just Tengda's challenger, then Ahri is Tengda's lifelong enemy.
Especially in the era of mobile Internet, both Internet giants began to rely on sufficient cash reserves, as well as traffic and channel advantages to conquer cities and territories on various tracks.
Inevitably they will become competitors.
…………
In a blink of an eye, the weekend is here again.
Because there are a lot of things that need to be communicated recently, as long as there is nothing else, Zhang Shuo will basically sit in Mr. Tang's yard and play chess with the old man.
At the same time, I was chatting with my second uncle about some things.
"How is the progress of purchasing the patent license?" Tang Yi asked with concern.
"The main contract terms have been finalized. Next month, I will go to Nokia headquarters in Finland to sign a formal cooperation agreement with Nokia." Zhang Shuo said.
This is a major event that has sprouted in recent times.
After Meiya agreed to pay 30% of the down payment and the Thieves Group provided financial guarantee, the negotiations between Meiya and Nokia entered the fast lane.
Nokia is actually very anxious.
"That's good."
Tang Yi was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Regarding the establishment of a creative industrial park in Houhai, the city government has made a preliminary decision and is expected to include all projects that have sprouted in Houhai."
In fact.
Binhai City officials are very active in the budding matter, even without Tang Yi's promotion.
After all, the current sprout is no longer what it used to be. In just one year, it can squeeze into the top ten ranks of Chinese Internet companies. Of course, we hope to increase support.
Trying to cultivate the next Tengda would be really glorious.
Of course, this is just a superficial reason. More importantly, Binhai City itself is a young and energetic city that supports innovation and the development of new business formats.
The concept of the Creative Industrial Park is also very consistent with the style of Binhai City.
Naturally, they hit it off immediately.
"Then I'll take advantage of it."
Zhang Shuo felt a little ashamed. The official efficiency was even higher than that of Germination. It seemed that the preparations for the establishment of Maili Technology had to be accelerated, otherwise we would really lose the trust of the officials.
The sprouts are indeed bright.
The reason for setting up a creative industry park is not only to create a clustering effect, but also to facilitate the enjoyment of "customized" preferential policies in the park.
For example, tax incentives, water and electricity concessions, land purchase subsidies, etc.
If all the projects of Sprout Group in Houhai are included in the creative industrial park, then not only Maili Technology will benefit in the future, but also Qingyun Data, Qinghe Technology, Qingniao Interactive Entertainment and other subsidiaries.
It's simply a win.
The price is that Germination Group is destined to take root in Houhai in the future.
Therefore, in the long run, Binhai City is actually the final winner. The tax revenue of Sprout Group in the next few years alone will be enough to cover any investment today.
To know.
From beginning to end, the registered place of Sprout Group has been Binhai City. In the future, Zhang Shuo has not mentioned any plans to register companies overseas and then use overseas companies to control Sprout to achieve tax reduction purposes.
This is simply an anomaly in the Internet industry.
…………
Monday, May 30th.
As soon as he got to work, Luo Changan brought good news. The Investment and M&A Department finally completed the acquisition of Hengteng Electronics and bought all the assets of Hengteng Electronics for 120 million.
Afterwards, Hengteng Electronics will be renamed Maili Electronics as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Maili Technology and the production and manufacturing base of Maili mobile phones.
Before that.
Zhang Shuo has arranged for Wu Sheyuan to spend a high salary to recruit Xu Maocai, a senior production manager who is proficient in mobile phone production and assembly and good at quality control, from Fushikeng to serve as the general manager of Maili Electronics.
After the acquisition is completed.
Xu Maocai will settle in Maili Electronics to complete the preliminary rectification work.
At the same time, Wu Sheyuan has selected a group of key personnel in human resources, finance, auditing, legal affairs, etc. from the group and its subsidiaries to join Xu Maocai.
It is necessary to eliminate the traces of the former boss's family in Maili Electronics in the shortest possible time.
"Don't leave a hair behind!"
Zhang Shuo gave this order when he met Xu Maocai.
Just after completing the acquisition of Hengteng Electronics, good news came from the beautiful country. The Pirate Saint Group's investment in wichat was officially completed, and 450 million funds have been transferred to wichat's account.
Soon.
US$200 million will be transferred through Jiaoyang Holdings and handed over to the group.
The 500 million loans approved by the bank and the Youth Entrepreneurship Fund were gradually received, making the Sprout Group suddenly rich in funds.
Now we're just waiting for Gu Mingzhang to finalize the final contract details.
…………
Wednesday, June 1st.
Today is Children's Day. Zhang Shuo did not go to the company in the morning. Instead, he bought a lot of toys and drove to Xingguang Welfare Home to celebrate the festival with his little ones.
We returned to Germination Building in the afternoon.
As soon as he came back, before he could take a sip of water, Du Qingqing knocked on the door and came in, reporting the latest news: "Dancong Dianping announced the launch of takeout service, and the pilot city is Binhai City."
"Very arrogant."
Zhang Shuo was also surprised and wondered where Dacong Dianping got the courage.
Or.
Dacong Dianping did this just to please Tengda?
A little too much.
"Come on, come on. Are you still afraid of fighting locally?" Zhang Shuo glanced at Du Qingqing.
"Of course I'm not afraid of normal business competition, but I can't resist my opponents' cheating. I've already heard that in order to capture the Binhai City market, Dacong Dianping is planning to spend 50 million in subsidies. Who can handle this?"
Du Qingqing is indeed different from what he used to be, and he can get this kind of information.
"Are you crazy? How did Dacong Dianping get so much money?" Zhang Shuo was speechless.
This is not the taxi-hailing war of later generations. Although the group-buying war is fierce and there are many players participating, the fund pool is basically maintained at a level of several hundred million yuan.
Da Cong Dian Ping dared to subsidize RMB 50 million just to promote takeout business in Binhai City.
It's really crazy.
This is not an era where smartphones will become popular in three or four years. How can you order takeout on your mobile phone without a smartphone? The user base itself is very limited.
Unless a computer-based takeout ordering website is launched.
That is going against the trend of the times and is simply unnecessary.
Zhang Shuo is really hard to understand.
"Is it just a publicity stunt?" Zhang Shuo said.
"I don't know about this, but if Dacong Dianping dares to shout such a slogan, he must be prepared. The biggest confidence is probably the strong support from Tengda."
Du Qingqing was not stupid, and he vaguely guessed why Dacong Dianping chose to pilot the takeout business in Binhai City.
It’s clearly a provocation!
"How are you going to respond?"
For a while, Zhang Shuo didn't think of any good ideas.
Is money ability a joke?
"Let me state in advance that the group's capital chain is currently tight and it is impossible to support Qingcheng Technology and Dacong Dianping in a subsidy war." Zhang Shuo blocked Du Qingqing's mouth in advance.
"I don't want to ask the group for money either."
In February, Qingcheng Retail had just transferred 500 million development funds to Qingcheng Technology. Even if Du Qingqing was a prodigal, there was no way he could just spend all the money.
What's more, she is a very frugal person.
Until now, Qingcheng Technology still has 350 million in working capital on its books. Most of its previous expenditures were used to acquire local group buying websites.
Then there are the daily expenses of Qingcheng Technology, which are mainly salary expenses.
"Qingcheng Technology can't do it even if it has money. Once the subsidy war starts, it will be a bottomless pit. The food delivery market has just emerged and is far from saturated. There is no need to fight a price war."
Zhang Shuo strongly opposed the fearless burning of money.
Even disgusted.
Because to put it bluntly, this is all a trick of capital to cut leeks. First, spend money to cultivate the consumption habits of leeks. Once the leeks get used to it, they will have no choice but to be slaughtered by others.
