Chapter 221 The industry benchmark, Germination returns to the center of the stage!
The bluebirds entertaining each other become more and more mysterious in the eyes of the fish.
"Then, how about trying to poach a studio director from Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment?" Cao Xi suggested.
"Can."
Renyu is not stupid either. He knows that poaching people may not be useful, but he still does it.
From Tenda's point of view, the cost of recruiting a director is much lower than acquiring a game studio. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, you can always give it a try.
If successful.
Then it is also a blow to Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.
Anyway, both sides have already broken up with each other, so they don't care about whether they are irritated or not.
…………
Monday, June 20th.
Lingnan announced the overall planning outline for the Pearl River Delta Information Industry Development Belt.
afternoon.
Binhai City followed closely and announced the overall planning outline of Houhai High-tech Industrial Park.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The next day, after receiving official approval, Gu Mingzhang, Vice President of Germination and General Manager of Maili Technology, finally held a press conference at the 8F Media Center of Germination Building.
at the press conference.
Gu Mingzhang introduced the details of Maili Technology’s mobile phone patent authorization rules to the media reporters present, including the establishment of a review committee, the distribution configuration of related patented technologies, etc.
In accordance with the overall plan of the Pearl River Delta Information Industry Development Belt.
The entire set of patent technology licenses will be divided into three parts. R&D-related patents will be placed in Houhai Gaoxing Technology Industrial Park, design-related patents will be placed in Yangcheng, and manufacturing-related patents will be placed in Guancheng, Xiangshan and Echeng.
It means the coverage is wider.
Correspondingly, the composition of the review committee will naturally become more complicated. Maili Technology has voluntarily given up the initiative of the review committee and handed it over to the official unified deployment.
Maili Technology is just one of them.
The only preferential treatment is that in view of the substantial contribution made by Maili Technology, Maili Technology will enjoy double voting rights, that is, one vote will be used as two votes.
besides.
Gu Mingzhang also officially announced the existence of the "Particle Fund" at the press conference.
It sparked heated discussions on the spot.
"Mr. Gu, does Sprout Group set up the Particle Fund to control the upstream and downstream industry chains of mobile phones?"
Reporters, however, are afraid that the world will not be in chaos.
"It's not about control, it's about integration, and it's about promoting the upgrading of the industrial chain." Naturally, Gu Mingzhang would not be fooled and explained with a smile: "In principle, the Particle Fund only makes strategic investments and holds no more than 10% of the shares in a single company."
This is the baseline set by Zhang Shuo before.
Yizhiya's own funds are very limited, and there are so many upstream and downstream companies that need investment and support. It is impossible to say that every company will make heavyweight investments.
Second, investing is also risky.
Ten years from now, smartphones will usher in a period of high saturation, and the growth rate will slow down significantly. If Germination invests heavily in the entire industry chain, it will inevitably be dragged down.
Compared to strategic investment.
The main way for Maili Technology to exert influence on the industrial chain in the future is through orders.
Just like apple.
No matter which foundry company gets a large order from Apple, the company's operating income will soar like a rocket. Likewise, once Apple "changes its love", the company will die suddenly.
Apple, which lives in a beautiful country, can decide the life or death of China's upstream and downstream enterprises with a single word.
That's what's important.
Of course, Sprout does not have such bad taste, but it does not mean that it cannot use this to exert influence on the industrial chain.
It is also a restriction on Apple.
"Excuse me, Mr. Gu, how much capital are you planning to allocate in the Particle Fund?" Another reporter asked.
"The first phase of funding is one billion, and subsequent investments will be made based on actual needs, with no upper limit." Although the Particle Fund has only received 200 million, it does not mean that Gu Mingzhang cannot boast.
The weight of 200 million is indeed too light.
“Oooh!!!”
One billion is different, and every media reporter present became excited.
To know.
Many upstream and downstream companies are actually small and medium-sized enterprises. If they only make strategic investments and hold no more than 10% of the shares, it may be possible to invest several million in an enterprise related to the industry chain.
Therefore, a billion dollars is still very viable.
"In addition to setting up a particle fund, Maili Technology will also increase investment in R&D and design. In the next year, R&D expenditures will be no less than 4 billion." Gu Mingzhang continued to drop a bombshell.
"Ting!!!"
Every reporter present was stunned, and some even began to doubt their lives.
What's wrong with the world? Is money worthless? There are dozens of small goals at every turn. Compared with the budding boldness, Lao Wang next door doesn't seem too out of the ordinary.
If this is the case, then Maili Technology will definitely be extremely generous in research and development.
"Ahem, Mr. Gu, there have been rumors on the Internet that the chain of funds for sprouts is about to be broken. I would like to ask, can sprouts really come up with such funds?" Some reporters did not believe it.
Who can't brag?
There are many investments that claim to be worth three to five billion, but if the final funds realized are three to five billion, they will be very popular.
"I wonder if any of you here have ever played "Defend the Carrot" or "Burning Vegetables"?" Gu Mingzhang did not directly respond to the reporter's question, but instead started gossiping.
"Played with it!"
"I've heard of it, but I haven't played it yet!"
"Mr. Gu, what do you mean?" a reporter asked after thinking about it.
"Then let me tell you the news. Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Xiangjiang Jiaoyang Holdings, and plans to sell the overseas agency rights of the two games to Jiaoyang Holdings for an estimated price of 1.2 billion."
As the vice president of Sprout Group, Gu Mingzhang is certainly qualified to know the relevant transaction information of the group's subsidiaries, and he can also publish relevant information to the outside world after obtaining authorization.
This is the difference between a vice president and a subsidiary general manager.
"Ouch!!!"
The reporter was not stupid, and quickly understood the implication of Gu Mingzhang’s words——
If you have any money, just watch Jade Bird for mutual entertainment!
"In addition to the two new games that have been released, in the next two to three months, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment will release at least eight new games. You can stay tuned."
Gu Mingzhang even started advertising for Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.
"So, the Sprout Group has never had a problem of financial constraints, and the rumors on the Internet are just rumors, which pale in comparison to the facts and are ridiculous."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gu Mingzhang continues to hit the target, he is very domineering!
We also took this opportunity to formally respond to the outside world's doubts about the budding capital chain through Gu Mingzhang.
"Ting!!!"
After hearing such breaking news one after another, the reporters were very excited. This time they didn’t have to worry about running out of news materials.
It’s all big news!
Thinking of the rumors that were circulated on the Internet that Jade Bird was trying to entertain all the talent, Gu Mingzhang's "declaration" will undoubtedly be another slap in the face.
So strong!!!
"Let's get back to the topic. Maili Technology's investment in research and development is absolutely genuine. In the words of our Mr. Zhang, four billion is just a lot more. Next, Maili Technology will also seek to cooperate with major universities and regions.
Cooperate to establish four to five laboratories and at least two regional R&D centers." Gu Mingzhang continued to break the news.
This is a bit like making a public announcement to major universities——
"Maili Technology has money and is willing to invest. If you are interested, come and cooperate with Maili Technology!"
It's not just colleges and universities.
Presumably many cities not located in the Pearl River Delta will also be interested in investing in Maili Technology.
Don’t use bean bags as dry food!
And this is not a shriveled bean bag. If nothing else, at least first-tier cities like Shanghai Magic City and Jingshi welcome Maili Technology to set up R&D centers in their jurisdictions.
How many jobs will that create?
More importantly, Lingnan is not the only one with ambitions in the electronic information industry. Beijing and Shanghai also have relevant industrial plans and welcome investment from major companies.
Maili Technology is undoubtedly a good target.
You know it even if you think about it.
With the help of Gu Mingzhang's "declaration", Song Yun, the technical director of Maili Technology, will go to various parts of the country to inspect and seek cooperation, and he will definitely receive a more warm reception.
This can be regarded as a kind of popularity.
…………
This is also true. After the press conference, relevant news spread all over the Internet.
Germination once again set off a frenzy of public opinion.
"Mr. Ya is worthy of being the conscience of the industry. This R&D investment is simply incredible!"
"Someone thought: I, I, I..."
"Yesterday I recharged 10 yuan in "Defend Carrot". Is this considered a contribution to the mobile phone business?"
"necessary!"
"I have to say that Mo Ya is really tough and doesn't get used to it at all."
"Merting: Wow Kaka, I just like how you can't defeat me and look like you can't do anything about me."
…
Netizens are just watching the excitement, but it is very difficult for people who are in the whirlpool.
For example, Xiaomi.
Originally, Rebus just thought that in the field of mobile phones, there was just a competitor of the same magnitude as Moya. When Lingnan made the official announcement, he was dumbfounded.
"There are so many enemies everywhere." Rebus was depressed.
What's even more annoying is.
Maili Technology has been too high-profile and prosperous recently. It spent tens of billions to buy patent licenses, established a billion-level fund, and claimed to invest four billion in research and development.
Adding them all together, that is an investment of 20 billion.
Who the hell can handle this?
Rebus even calculated an account. If Maili Technology spends so much money, when will it get its money back?
A little sour!
I'm a little jealous again, what's going on?
One reality facing Xiaomi is that with the official announcement of Lingnan, the Pearl River Delta electronic information technology industry belt will gather the four major mobile phone manufacturers Warwick, M Cluster, Maili and OV.
Coupled with Lingnan’s profound industrial heritage.
It is foreseeable that the mobile phone-related industrial chain will definitely accelerate its concentration in the Pearl River Delta.
Will Xiaomi follow?
After discussing with the senior executives, Rebus came to the conclusion that he must follow!
Although it is not possible to move the headquarters south, at least the manufacturing-related business must be moved south. Only the headquarters and R&D design center will be retained in the capital.
otherwise.
From the beginning, Xiaomi will be excluded by the entire industry chain.
Unless you say.
Xiaomi has the capital and courage to create an industrial chain in the north.
