Chapter 249 Some people are worried about Zhang Shuos wallet, and others are coveting Zhang Shuos body?
Capital.
After the Haode Map board meeting, Tan Chairen, Vice President of Scarlet Capital, was invited by Mr. Cao for afternoon tea.
Naturally, the topic of sprouting came up again.
"I heard that Meiya plans to buy an office building in the capital. From this point of view, they should not be short of money. Aren't you worried that Meiya will continue to increase capital and acquire the map?"
Mr. Cao is an old fox and very well-informed.
"That's because you don't understand Bu Ya's tricks. They all bought the property and immediately mortgaged it to the bank to obtain a loan. The actual liquidity that needs to be mobilized is not much, unlike this capital increase."
In terms of understanding of Germination, Scarlet Capital is considered to be the leader among them, having understood everything clearly.
"Mr. Ya has made a lot of money through mobile games, but Zhang Shuo's ambition is too big. He wants to do this and that. The business is too wide and it is not easy to maintain."
"Mobile games..."
When this was mentioned, Mr. Cao became very upset, "I heard that the monthly profit of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has exceeded 500 million?"
"It's pretty much the same."
Because Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is not listed, Scarlet Capital can only estimate the profitability of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment through some data obtained through public channels.
But this is already terrifying.
But having said that, although Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is making money, Scarlet Capital is not very jealous. Investment banks like them are really called a "business without capital".
As long as you bet on a company to be listed, you can make a lot of money.
In the final analysis.
The most profitable business in the world is finance.
"Then Sprout Ya only needs to use one month's profit from Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment to complete the capital increase, right?"
Mr. Cao knows it quite well.
"Hey," Tan Chairen's mouth slightly raised, "I hope that sprouts will increase capital. You don't know that in a few months, sprouts will have a loan of 2 billion due. By then, if sprouts' cash flow is insufficient,
, and no financial company has done a bridge loan for Meiya, so that’s interesting. Moreover, as far as I know, Meiya’s 2 billion loan is at a premium, and the credit rating is not high.”
"Haha, great idea, great idea!"
Mr. Cao is also a human being. He immediately understood Scarlet Capital’s plan. He smiled on his face, but felt weak in his heart - these guys really eat people without spitting out their bones.
Germination was targeted by them, it was really...
"Just wait and see, Zhang Shuo is young and vigorous, how can he not fall into trouble?" Tan Chairen was very confident.

July 23, Great Summer, Saturday.
Binhai City is getting hotter and hotter. Zhang Shuo doesn't want to go anywhere on weekends, so he stays in the apartment in Xili Building, enjoying the full range of housekeeping services provided by Chen Lu.
It's really no different from ancient emperors.
Lying on the lazy sofa, scrolling on the mobile phone, enjoying the fragrant food of Chen Lu, cutting the iced watermelon into small pieces, peeling the grapes, and serving them clearly and in vain.
Weixin suddenly rang, it was Zhu Yuhan looking for him.
Although the two did not have a successful "blind date", they have become friends at least. Especially since Zhu Yuhan got divorced recently, her mood is a bit unstable, and she will chat on Weixin from time to time.
"I have decided to live the rest of my life alone and never get married again!"
“Very brave!”
Zhang Shuo won't be able to reason with his mother-in-law, they are all adults.
Zhu Yuhan: "But I want a child, can you lend me a few bullets?"
"Ah?"
Zhang Shuo was confused. What is this? "You haven't been kicked in the head by a donkey, have you?"
"You just got kicked by a donkey."
Zhu Yuhan was not happy, "I'm serious. I don't really want to do anything. I just want to borrow some of your bullets and conceive a baby through artificial insemination."
Probably in Zhu Yuhan's eyes, Zhang Shuo is the best man in the world.
Genes must be the best.
"Impossible, just stay where you want to cool off." Zhang Shuo was not confused.
Those who donated bullets did so because they did not know the person receiving the donation. He was so familiar with Zhu Yuhan, so if she was really pregnant, would it count as his child?
It’s obvious!
Not to mention Zhu Yuhan, not even Chen Lu had any unreasonable thoughts in this regard. In order to let Zhang Shuo enjoy the ultimate driving experience, he even took the initiative to undergo exhaust pipe blockage surgery.
Of course, if you want to have a baby in the future, you can also restore the factory settings.
"These days, there are really all kinds of weird things."
Zhang Shuo doesn't dare to chat with Zhu Yuhan anymore. This girl has been a little nervous lately.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Lu curiously handed over a freshly peeled grape.
"It's nothing, it's just that someone wants to steal your food rations." Zhang Shuo generously showed the chat record to Chen Lu.
"Master, I'm hungry."
Chen Lu's pretty face turned red and her eyes blinked.
This little fairy!
………
Monday, July 25th.
When I returned to work at the company again, a lot of news broke.
For example, Tenda's Chuangshen was officially launched today earlier than Cao Yanhua expected, which shows how eager Tenda is to expand into the pan-entertainment field.
It caused quite a stir in the online writing circle.
In addition to Tenda, Ali has also made moves, officially launching the cloud operating system (Ali Cloud OS), and also launching the Tianyu Cloud smartphone W700 equipped with Ali Cloud.
"W700? Never heard of it."
Zhang Shuo was very puzzled. He had no relevant memory at all, so it was probably because he was on the street.
As expected of Ahri!
However, Ahri’s big move in the field of cloud services also poses a big challenge to Qingyun Data.
"Yeah, there's another competitor."
Of course, there is also good news within the Sprout Group. Motu Xiuxiu, which was incubated by the technology center, has officially launched Android and IOS after completing internal testing.
The technical center will still be responsible for subsequent research and development, while operations will be handed over to the newly upgraded operations center.
afternoon.
Tan Yunsong brought a man in his early thirties to see Zhang Shuo and introduced with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, this is my disciple Chen Ping. His research direction is assisted driving technology."
Assisted driving, also known as autonomous driving as reported by many media, is also in the category of artificial intelligence.
The difference is that Tan Yunsong, as a top scientist in the industry, is engaged in low-level research on artificial intelligence, while Chen Ping, as his disciple, chooses technical research on the application level of artificial intelligence.
Specializing in assisted driving technology.
Moreover, Chen Ping's research in the field of assisted driving technology has achieved some results. He leads a small team and is developing the advanced assisted driving system MANGO.
"MANGO, blind opening?" Zhang Shuo heard that this was a homophone.
"That's what it means."
Perhaps because he has stayed in the beautiful country for a long time, Chen Ping is also very talkative and took the initiative to introduce to Zhang Shuo: "The main purpose of assisted driving is not to achieve driverless driving, but to assist the driver when the driver's behavior is inconvenient, such as drinking.
It assists drivers in driving under conditions such as fatigue, color blindness, weak legs, and disabled legs. In addition, it provides intelligent services to drivers in areas such as parking and accident emergency response."
"So that's it."
Zhang Shuo has always had a doubt before. When watching those so-called self-driving videos, the driver is still sitting in the driving seat, but he does not have to operate the steering wheel himself.
But the problem is.
Driving itself is not a difficult task. For some people, driving is even a kind of fun. It just seems too silly to just sit in the driving seat like that.
If it were switched to assisted driving, that would still make sense.
"My suggestion is to build an assisted driving laboratory under the Fertile Land Research Institute specifically to promote the research and development of the MANGO system. What do you think?" Tan Yunsong said.
"Okay, no problem."
Zhang Shuo also readily agreed, "In fact, the group originally intended to deploy in the field of new energy vehicles, and it just happened to combine the MANGO system with new energy vehicles."
"correct."
Zhang Shuo turned to look at Dai Yutong, who was taking notes on the side, "Remember to notify the President's Office to register a series of Mango trademarks and shell companies including Mango Auto as soon as possible."
Zhang Shuo also played with homophonic memes, mango is homophonic to mango.
In addition, Mango Auto is in the same line as Qingcheng Group, Qinghe Technology, etc., which is very consistent with the tone of the subsidiaries of the Sprout Group, but it is a better name.
As for why full category registration is required, it is naturally to prevent other companies from registering the Mango trademark, such as Mango TV, which will weaken the brand awareness of Mango Auto.
This is something Zhang Shuo cannot tolerate.
Trademarks are no small matter.
In my impression, Apple’s iPad infringed on Proview Marina’s trademark rights, and the lawsuit lasted for several years, and finally ended with Apple paying a settlement of US$60 million.
"OK."
Since many of Zhang Shuo's conversations with senior executives involved major decisions of the group, one of Dai Yutong's responsibilities as administrative secretary is to keep records of the conversations.
After sorting it out, it will be handed over to Zhang Shuo for review to determine whether it should be copied to other executives.
"By the way, does this MANGO system involve intellectual property disputes?" Zhang Shuo asked Chen Ping.
"No."
Chen Ping shook his head, "This is something I worked on with a few friends. It's considered an amateur achievement."
"Then we also need to sign a technology transfer agreement. After all, it was the result before you joined the Fertile Land Research Institute. The group cannot take advantage of you in vain." Zhang Shuo is very particular about what he does.
"That's okay with me."
Of course, Chen Ping had no reason to refuse if he could get an extra sum of money for free.
A gentleman loves money, so he must get it in a wise way!
"As for the specific patent fees, Professor Tan will be responsible for the assessment." Zhang Shuo certainly believed that Tan Yunsong would be fair in this matter.
Chen Ping will not be partial just because he is his disciple.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Tan Yunsong also did his part, "There is another thing. In addition to R&D, the assisted driving laboratory should also have a large enough experimental site and experimental vehicles."
But every aspect was considered for Chen Ping.
"This is easy. Let me tell you in advance. Starting from next month, the group will allocate special research and development funds to the Fertile Soil Research Institute. The initial amount is 100 million a month. Is it enough?"
Zhang Shuo has never been stingy in research and development.
"enough!"
Master Tan Yunsong, Chen Ping and his disciples looked at each other, and were both stunned by the big boss's arrogance.
