Chapter 289: Sprout's annual loss exceeds 10 billion!
Zhang Shuo also didn't expect that everyone's enthusiasm would be so high.
It can be seen that pure people still account for the majority.
As long as Suiya insists on doing charity, insists on research and development, and insists on innovation, even if it is making games, everyone will be much more tolerant of Suiya than Tengda.
It can even be said that they are completely different.
If Tenda executives saw this scene, they would probably be very sad, right?
This also strengthened Zhang Shuo's confidence.
After the interlude, the game started, just like the original time and space. After three fierce games, the JWG team finally defeated the MYM team 2:1 and successfully entered the finals.
The only difference may be that, perhaps due to the home court advantage, the JWG team played better than the original team. There may still be some variables in next week's finals.
If the JWG team can win the championship, it will definitely be a major benefit to the promotion of Dota 2 in China.
In the original time and space, if the Chinese team had not won successive championships in S8 and S9, the popularity of "League of Legends" in China would have been reduced by at least a quarter, or even lower.
Close to the edge of coolness.
It can be seen that domestic teams winning the cup have a positive effect on the popularity of the game.
………
competition is over.
Zhang Shuo took Lin Weiwei and Tang Yu for a midnight snack.
"Third brother, how did you meet Sister Weiwei?" When they first arrived at the competition, Tang Yu's eyes glanced between Zhang Shuo and Lin Weiwei. After sitting in the private room, he finally couldn't hold back and asked.
come out.
She also heard yesterday that Zhang Shuo was being kept by Xiao Xi.
Bah, scumbag!
"Your third brother and I are childhood sweethearts." Lin Weiwei explained with a smile.
"Yeah?"
Tang Yu's tone increased unconsciously.
"It's true that we have known each other since childhood, but actually, we are not that familiar." Zhang Shuo quickly explained.
Lin Weiwei: "..."
"Really?" Tang Yu rolled his eyes again, quickly hugged Lin Weiwei's arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Weiwei, I am your fan, can you give me an autograph later?"
"Okay, okay."
Lin Weiwei, on the other hand, is not going to be fooled by this pair of siblings. How can she change her face just for fun?
"Are you filming any new dramas recently?" Zhang Shuo changed the subject with a smile.
""Why the Shengxiao is Silent", you know."
“Expecting a fire!”
Zhang Shuo wondered how many people's fates had been changed by the chess pieces he dropped casually. Without his advice, Lin Weiwei would definitely not have been able to play the heroine of "Why Sheng Xiao Mo".
"The crew happened to be filming in Binhai City recently, and my birthday will also be held in Binhai City. Are you free to attend?" Lin Weiwei took advantage of the opportunity and sent out an invitation.
"Okay, what day is it specifically?"
"..."
Lin Weiwei has black lines all over her head, so she can’t even remember when her birthday is, right?
"Pfft!"
Tang Yu couldn't hold it in anymore. She was so happy that she didn't laugh like a pig. Only then did she believe that the third brother and Lin Weiwei were really not familiar with each other. At least, they were not as familiar as Lin Weiwei described.
Sometimes the third brother gets angry, which is really exciting.
"Just kidding, isn't it December 26th?" Zhang Shuo was also a little embarrassed and tried to show respect.
"It's the 28th!"
Lin Weiwei almost gritted her teeth.
"Ting!!!"
At this time, even Zhang Shuo's thick skin was a little unbearable.
"Sister Weiwei, can I attend your birthday party? Will there be many celebrities there?" Tang Yu quickly smoothed things over for the third brother.
It's a big taboo to not remember a girl's birthday, and she will be in trouble every minute.
"sure."
Lin Weiwei is worthy of being an actor. She quickly adjusted her mood, but she ignored Zhang Shuo throughout the whole process.
Bah, scumbag!
………
Monday, December 19th.
As soon as I got to work, Human Resources Director Wu Sheyuan came to tell me the good news: "Mr. Zhang, four of the twenty young scientists who won the Young Scientist Award this time have agreed to join the Fertile Soil Research Institute."
“Well done!”
Zhang Shuo was very pleased, "But it's not enough. We need to continue to increase our efforts and do a good job with Mr. Tao to attract outstanding talents who have studied abroad to return to work in China."
"clear!"
Of course Wu Sheyuan also heard about the R&D budget of 1.5 billion. The biggest test of this matter for human resources is to find people who can spend this budget.
No matter how large the R&D budget is, it is useless without researchers.
"Human Resources had better check the list with Jiaoyang Holdings, increase efforts to recruit young scientists overseas, and try to persuade them to come to work in Binhai City as much as possible."
Although Mr. Tao has been promised to favor domestic scientists as much as possible, there is no reason to let the great resources from abroad go unused.
That's also a waste.
Whether the Sprout Group can achieve new leaps next year depends on whether it can achieve breakthroughs in the field of research and development, which in turn depends on how many R&D personnel Sprout can recruit.
Especially top young scientists and even academic leaders.
………
As soon as Wu Sheyuan left with his front legs, Jiang Yue came in with his rear legs.
"Mr. Zhang, this is what I have initially drawn up. Take a look at the year-end bonus standards at the group headquarters. You also need to set the year-end bonus standards for group executives."
Before you know it, it’s the end of the year again.
Zhang Shuo doesn't feel that way as a boss yet, but for employees, even budding executives, the thing they care about most at the end of the year is, of course, how much year-end bonus they can get.
Compared to last year.
As Wu Sheyuan sorted out the human resources system and standardized performance appraisals, the year-end bonus payment standards for most employees have been traced, and the benchmark is three months' salary.
There will be an adjustment coefficient based on the performance appraisal results.
On the contrary, for the management of M6 and above, the amount of the year-end bonus has to be decided by the big boss Zhang Shuo himself. Of course, next year, annual performance appraisal indicators will also be formulated for the executives of M6 and above.
From now on, Zhang Shuo will no longer have to suffer from headaches.
"Let's see, the M6 year-end bonus is based on three million, the M7 year-end bonus is based on five million, and the M8 year-end bonus is based on ten million. You will host a meeting with relevant personnel to discuss the specific amounts."
Zhang Shuo is still very generous.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because the executives of Germination neither hold shares nor have equity incentives, in addition to being generous enough in terms of salary and benefits, of course they cannot be stingy with year-end bonuses.
Already.
otherwise.
How do you get these executives to work with all your heart?
Jiang Yue's rank is M8, and it is almost certain that he will receive a multi-million year-end bonus. Compared with last year's multi-million year-end bonus, it has increased tenfold.
Can you be unhappy?
At the same time, I felt a little dazed. Only one year had passed, and Mo Ya seemed to have completely changed.
This can be seen from the changes in year-end bonuses.
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, this Friday night is the Binhai City Entrepreneur Award Ceremony. You have been named one of Binhai's top ten outstanding entrepreneurs. You need to go to receive the award then." Jiang Yue reminded.
This is another new change.
Last year, Zhang Shuo was only one of the Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs of Binhai City. Within one year, he took another big step forward and became an outstanding entrepreneur of Binhai City.
"I know, as per the old rules, you will attend with me when the time comes."
According to the rotating president system of the Sprout Group, Jiang Yue's term is from July 1 to December 31, 2011. She will be replaced by Lu Kai as the rotating president of the Sprout Group.
It can be regarded as the final appearance.
………
Wednesday, December 21st.
Zhang Shuo personally presided over the last monthly meeting of the Development and Strategy Committee of the year. The theme of the meeting was just one-discussing the company's budget for next year.
Before reporting the budget, Zhang Shuo, as the CEO of Germination Group, also made a brief summary report on the group's achievements in the past year.
"In 2011, so far, Sprout Group has achieved annual operating income of 38.2 billion, profit attributable to the parent company of 11.5 billion, and net profit of -6.4 billion."
In 2011, Germination was actually still in a state of loss as a whole.
The losses are mainly reflected in the increase in bank loans, corporate bonds, and the decrease in cash flow. This does not include the huge 7.5 billion injected by the "Dream Fund" throughout the year.
It can be seen that the loss is huge.
If we dig deeper, the reason why Sprout Group loses money is not only because of its single profit point, but also because it spends huge amounts of money on investment business and new business.
Maili Technology alone lost tens of billions.
Although there is a trump card of Maili X1 next year, the release of X1 will have to wait until at least the second half of next year. The overall expectation is that it will still be in a loss-making state.
We still have to continue to raise funds.
This is why Zhang Shuo is eager to sell 71 Assistant and Motu Xiuxiu, hoping that these two cards can bring tens of billions of liquidity to Sprout.
To support the group’s development plans for next year.
Jiang Yue spoke first on behalf of the Sprout Group: "The headquarters of the Sprout Group, including the Fertile Land Research Institute, has a R&D budget of 2 billion next year and a budget of 500 million for marketing, administration and general management expenses."
after.
Each subsidiary also showed its budget table——
Qingcheng Group has a R&D budget of 500 million and other budgets of 2.5 billion.
Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment (Group) has a R&D budget of 200 million and other budgets of 1 billion.
Qinghe Technology has a R&D budget of 500 million and other budgets of 1 billion.
Qingyun Data has a R&D budget of 500 million and other budgets of 1.8 billion.
Maili Technology has a R&D budget of 8 billion and other budgets of 4 billion.
Jiaoyang Holdings has a R&D budget of 30 million and other budgets of 200 million.
Sprout Real Estate's R&D budget is 20 million, and other budgets are 4.5 billion.
Taken together, the annual R&D budget of Sprout Group and its subsidiaries in 2012 is 11.75 billion, and the budget for marketing, administration and general management expenses is 15.5 billion.
The total budget is 27.25 billion.
Among them, Qingcheng Group’s budget of 3 billion is calculated independently and does not require funding from Sprout Group.
It can be seen.
In next year’s budget, Maili Technology still occupies the bulk of the budget.
The above does not include the investment business of Sprout Group (which cannot be calculated because it is uncertain), nor new businesses such as electric vehicles and chips.
Counting these two items, the overall budget may even double.
This is why, although the overall R&D budget of the Germination Department did not reach the 15 billion target set by Zhang Shuo, there was no adjustment to the R&D budget of each subsidiary.
It's about leaving a little margin for new business.
Oh, right.
There is also the Spring Sprouts Fund. It is estimated that the expenditures for public welfare next year will not be less than one billion.
It can be seen that the revenue pressure next year will still be very high.
