Chapter 252 Tengda: The excitement is theirs, I have nothing!
Two days later.
Ren Xiaoyao had private contact with Zhang Shuo.
"Mr. Zhang, our boss admires you very much. He even paid special attention to the approval matters of Qingcheng Xiaozhu by Mo Tuan before." Ren Xiaoyao showed his kindness as soon as he came up.
It can be seen that he is also a good negotiator.
"Thank you Ahri for your kindness."
Zhang Shuo was finally convinced that his previous guess was correct, Ah Li was indeed showing his favor to Mei Ya.
"I don't know, what exactly does Mr. Zhang think about the Hao De map?" After a brief exchange of greetings, Ren Xiaoyao quickly got down to business. He is obviously a very pragmatic person.
Regardless of age or seniority, he is actually much higher than Zhang Shuo.
Talk face to face.
Deep inside, there is still a little awkwardness.
"Mr. Ya does not have much ambition for Hao De Map. For Ming Ya, it does not matter who controls Hao De Map, but it is important that Scarlet Capital does not exist." Zhang Shuo also revealed the answer.
Although this was not what he wanted.
This is the substantial impact that Scarlet Capital has had on Germination.
Now that the Haode map has aroused the interest of Ahri, a giant, Ahri's appetite and style, plus Ren Xiaoyao condescending to come to Binhai City, Ahri's attitude is already very clear.
Just don't want to give up.
In this case, Sprout really does not have the capital to compete with Ali.
The only option is to settle for the next best thing.
"On this point, Mr. Zhang, you and our boss have come together again." Ren Xiaoyao's expression became gentler, and he never forgot to highlight Uncle Ma's status.
He is worthy of being the top professional manager.
In this regard, Jiang Yue was actually a bit embarrassed, and would contradict Zhang Shuo from time to time.
"Then we can be considered comrades in the trenches?" Zhang Shuo smiled.
This is actually a bit hypocritical.
But there was no other way. Seeing Scarlet Capital's aggressive approach and Tengda's side regarding Moya as their mortal enemy, if possible, Zhang Shuo certainly didn't want to become enemies with Ah Li so early.
The less trouble, the better.
"Of course it is!"
Ren Xiaoyao was also in a happy mood, "Whenever Mr. Zhang is free to come to An, I will be the host!"
"must!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, they were both foxes for thousands of years.
The outside world naturally has no way of knowing the specific content of the conversation between the two.
Only the next day, Ahri officially informed the board of directors of Haode Map that it would suspend strategic investment in Haode Map, halt all ongoing negotiations, and wait for further regulatory implementation.
This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for Hao De Map.
The stock price fell another 5% that day.
………
Capital, a tea room in a certain club.
A week ago, Tan Chairen was so high-spirited, but now he is so lonely.
Mr. Cao accompanied me carefully.
He is just a small fish and shrimp in the capital market, while Scarlet Capital is the real giant.
If you have something to ask for, naturally you have to serve it carefully.
"Ahri had clearly shown great interest in the Haode map before, so why did the negotiation stop so quickly? With Ahri's size, it shouldn't have happened." Mr. Cao took the initiative to stir up the topic.
"It may not be a real retreat, it may be a retreat in order to advance."
Of course, Tan Chairen was not stupid. He vaguely guessed that Ahli had stopped investment negotiations on the surface, but secretly, he might have been in contact with the shareholders of Haode Map and was preparing to acquire shares.
That would be more cost-effective.
But for Scarlet Capital, this is really bad news. They originally expected Ahri to join the game and boost the stock price of Hao De Map, but they didn't expect that it would be a disaster star.
Who can I talk to to reason with you?
The board of directors of Scarlet Capital has decided to withdraw from Haode Map in due course.
Although it is inevitable to lose a lot of expected profits, Scarlet Capital actually made some money compared to the original investment, and it can be considered that the loss was stopped in time.
As a venture capital firm, Scarlet Capital’s internal system is also very strict.
Even a sneer.
Any decision-making is based on actuarial interests and will never be mixed with any personal emotions.
Even with the recent harassment of Germination, the ultimate goal is to pry a gap in Germination's mouth and obtain an investment opportunity.
The essence is still related to interests.
"It's just that I was able to take advantage of Mei Ya and let Mei Ya escape the disaster. I'm really lucky."
Until now.
Tan Chairen didn't even know Zhang Shuo's role in this matter. He thought that the whole thing was a huge coincidence, and he let Mo Ya pick it up.
"So, Mr. Tan, what investment did your company promise to make in Shengtuo Media?" Mr. Cao took the opportunity to ask.
It's very humble.
It’s no wonder that Mr. Cao was nervous. After the news came out that the Sprout Group was going to buy a Grade A office building in Jingshi as its headquarters, the employees of Shengtuo Media next door were not calm.
When they were split before, I didn’t think which one was better.
But once it is split, Automobile.com will move to a new office building. It is said that the salary and benefits will be in line with those of the sprouting department, and will at least increase by a base.
This is so jealous.
In line with the old saying: "Without comparison, there is no harm."
The result is that in the past week, there have been no less than a hundred resignation letters from Shengtuo Media, and without exception, they all want to switch jobs to the New Automotive Network next door.
After all, we had gone to the same school before and were all acquaintances, so there was no pressure to change jobs.
It happens that AutoNet is also implementing a mobile strategy and is preparing to expand its recruitment. This wave of resignations from Shengtuo Media is undoubtedly a perfect assist for AutoNet.
This made Mr. Cao very anxious.
Coupled with the incident of Haode Map, I am worried that Scarlet Capital will change its mind midway.
"Don't worry, the previous promise still stands." Tan Chairen gave Mr. Cao a reassurance.
As the vice president of Scarlet Capital, Tan Chairen holds investment authority and has a great say in who he invests in and who he does not invest in, so he is indeed a favorite in the eyes of many people.
He is also very good at using this little authority in his hands to expand personal relationships.
Even if the investment fails or does not meet expectations, the impact on Tan Chai Ren will be limited. If there is no risk in venture capital, can it still be called venture capital?
As long as you still have performance in hand, you can continue to waste money.
In Tan Chai Ren's eyes, Mr. Cao's connections in Beijing are still valuable, so he naturally doesn't mind leaking a little bit of his investment share to Shengtuo Media.
Within Scarlet Capital itself, the evaluation of Shengtuo Communication is also pretty good.
"Thank you Mr. Tan!"
Naturally, Mr. Cao didn't know the twists and turns inside, and his face was filled with gratitude.
As for the little friction with Zhang Shuo, Cao was always a "generous" person, so he could only ignore it when he couldn't afford to offend him.
I don’t hang around in the same circle either.
He now hopes that Automotive Network will move out soon so as not to affect the morale of Shengtuo Media.
………
Thursday, August 11th.
On this day, a big event happened in the Internet circle.
An authoritative organization released the first China Internet Industry Top 100 list. The list is based on the operating income in 2010, and almost includes domestic Internet companies with some strength.
Tenda topped the list with revenue of nearly 20 billion.
Ahli and Qiandu ranked second and third respectively.
After that, there are a number of established backbones such as Xingsheng Network, Jingdong, Wangyi, Fox Group, and Zhalang.
As for the recently prosperous Sprout Group, because the list only counts revenue in 2010, Sprout Group actually only has the revenue of its subsidiary Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, which is naturally far from enough.
Only barely ranked 38th.
According to this ranking, Sprout Group is just a rookie in the Internet industry. Although it is amazing, it is far from exaggerated and falls into the acceptable category.
But if you compare it to 2011...
You know, the net profit of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment in July 2011 alone was as high as 640 million.
This is still net profit, not operating income.
Not counting the revenue of Qingcheng Group, Qingyun Data and other subsidiaries, if you add them all together, the Sprout Group is terrifying. Even if it cannot beat the three giants, it is still a big difference.
Of course.
Zhang Shuo is not someone who cares so much about fame, he pays more attention to practical results.
morning.
Zhang Shuo, surrounded by Jiang Yue, Tan Yunsong and other senior executives, drove to Houhai to attend the completion and delivery ceremony of the experimental building of Houhai Germination R&D Center.
mean.
The flexible materials laboratory led by Liu Hong will also officially enter the substantive stage of operation.
At the delivery ceremony, Zhang Shuo also officially changed the name of the "Houhai Germination Global R&D Center Project" agreed in the previous engineering project to Fertile Land Research Institute to serve as the scientific research base of Fertile Land Research Institute.
In the words of my second uncle.
Names like Global R&D Center are still too arrogant and do not fit the positioning of Buya.
Zhang Shuo naturally accepted it humbly.
………
Tenda Building.
It's Friday again, and it's time for the routine meeting again.
In the past week, the Internet circle has actually been very lively, but this liveliness seems to have nothing to do with Tengda, which makes people feel a little unsatisfied.
"I got news that Ren Xiaoyao came to Binhai City a few days ago. I don't know who he met." Lu Jian was well-informed. It would be a pity not to become Jin Yiwei.
Of course, it is also because Ren Xiaoyao is famous and his every move attracts attention.
Just pay a little attention.
At least Ren Xiaoyao's itinerary is not difficult to find out.
"Do you suspect that when Ren Xiaoyao came to Binhai City, he met Zhang Shuo?" The second master is also a good person.
"In the past two days, Ah Li and Mo Ya have seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding on the matter of getting the map. It's really hard not to make people think of it." Lu Jian also told the truth.
"I also heard that the person who accepted Qingcheng Xiaozhu was the one who specially approved it."
"It's a little abnormal."
The second master frowned, and it seemed that he had been frowning recently.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Ah Li and Mo Ya have no major business conflicts. It is expected that he would try to win over Mo Ya. After all, he also likes to make friends, so..."
Lu Jian was about to speak but stopped.
If Ahri and Mengya really form an alliance, it will definitely not be good news for Tengda.
The pressure is doubled and it belongs!
"No, it won't!"
The second master suddenly shook his head.
"Why not?" Lu Jian was a little confused.
"Zhang Shuo and that man can't be friends, they are not on the same path." The second master is still very accurate in judging people. Although he and Zhang Shuo haven't had a few lighting sessions, he already has an insight.
