Chapter 293 Zhang Shuo becomes the new richest man in China?
The night of the 2nd.
Zhang Shuo held a special banquet to entertain Qiandu Gong Juren and his entourage, accompanied by Lu Kai, Luo Changan and others.
Although we were drinking, we soon started talking about work.
"Mr. Zhang, Qiandu is completely open to cooperation with Meiya. In addition to this transaction, we hope to strengthen cooperation with Meiya in other areas." Gong Juren came with a mission.
"For example?"
Zhang Shuo, on the other hand, had a lot of free time.
"For example, the local life services we mentioned before, and map navigation, I wonder if Maili mobile phones can be pre-installed with Qiandu Maps?" Gong Juren asked tentatively.
"Mr. Gong seems to be very confident in the Maili mobile phone?" Zhang Shuo was noncommittal.
"We are confident in the germination."
"But you also know that Qingcheng Group, owned by Germination, is the major shareholder of Haode Map."
"This is not a conflict, is it?" Gong Juren has certainly done his homework, "Qingcheng Group's shareholding ratio in Haode Map is not high, and Ahli is the real controlling shareholder."
"The relationship between Mei Ya and Ah Li is also good." Zhang Shuo said.
“In business, you can’t put your eggs in one basket, right?”
"yes."
Zhang Shuo smiled and nodded, "But the basket of Qiandu Map does not allow us to intervene."
"Uh, this..."
Gong Juren was speechless for a moment. Of course it was impossible for Qiandu Map to let Mo Ya buy a stake.
There's no way to talk about it.
It was a nice party, but it ended in embarrassment.
"boss Zhang?"
Lu Kai was a little worried.
"fine!"
Zhang Shuo was very calm, "I don't know what gave Qiandu the illusion that through this acquisition, we can get closer to each other. It's completely one code."
He himself didn't want to get too close to Qiandu.
Especially considering that in the future, when Qiandu discovers that acquiring 71 Assistant is not so cost-effective, even if the relationship is harmonious now, there will still be conflicts in the future.
Not necessary.
………
The next day.
Zhang Shuo went to Binhai University to take the last final exam of this semester.
After other graduate students finish their exams, they may have to be dragged to the laboratory by their instructors to do hard work. Zhang Shuo certainly doesn't have this worry. The end of the exams also means the start of the "winter vacation."
The issue is.
In addition to being a student, Zhang Shuo is also a migrant worker and has to go to work.
January 4th.
As soon as Zhang Shuo arrived at the company and his butt was still warm, Jiang Yue hurriedly walked in with a newspaper in his hand, "Mr. Zhang, take a look at this."
"Sprouting Group is valued at 100 billion, will Zhang Shuo become the new richest man in mainland China?"
Zhang Shuo glanced at the title and his brows twitched unconsciously, "Isn't this nonsense?"
"It's nonsense, but it's also well-founded." Jiang Yue frowned with a little worry.
The article used the valuation of Qingcheng Group at 16 billion some time ago and the recent value of 71 Assistant Motu Xiuxiu at 12 billion as reference factors to finalize the overall valuation of Sprout Group at 100 billion.
It does sound like that's what happened.
But the problem is that not only the valuation of Qingcheng Group is already on the high side, the selling price of 71 Assistant Motu Xiu Xiu is also at a high premium due to competition among the three giants.
Using this as a basis, doesn’t it mean that we are not talking nonsense?
Although Zhang Shuo has great confidence in Germinal Group, it is not so easy to reach the 100 billion mark.
What’s even more outrageous is that the article later used this as a basis, then calculated that Zhang Shuo personally holds 67% of the shares of Germination Group, and inferred that Zhang Shuo’s personal wealth is as high as 64.856 billion.
What is this concept?
If calculated according to the China Rich List released in September 2011, Zhang Shuo will surpass Qiandu CEO Li Hong in one fell swoop and become the new richest man in Mainland China with a net worth of US$10 billion.
Even if you put it in the entire Chinese circle, it can still be ranked in the top five.
It's really crazy.
In 2012, the weight of being the richest man was very important. Whether it was Lao Wang, the uncle, or anyone else, after becoming the richest man, he began to show his face frequently and became a big brother-level figure in the business circle.
How virtuous and capable is Zhang Shuo?
Not to mention that Sprout has only been established for a year and a half, and Zhang Shuo is so young. If he is really named the richest man, it will definitely be harmful and useless.
"Someone wants to flatter me and kill me. Can I sue?" Zhang Shuo was not carried away.
The richest man and all that are just gimmicks.
"You can sue, but at most you will get some compensation, which will make the other party famous, and at the same time make this matter a big deal." Jiang Yue obviously did not agree with the lawsuit.
This is the last resort.
"What's your opinion?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"I suggest contacting major websites in advance. As long as this report is not spread on the Internet, the newspaper itself will not have much impact." Jiang Yue offered public relations advice.
"Okay, you can handle this matter yourself."
"clear!"
Jiang Yue naturally knew the seriousness, otherwise he wouldn't have come to report it early in the morning.
"The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop."
Although this report is exaggerated, it also reveals an indisputable fact, because the Sprout Group only has two shareholders, Zhang Shuo and Dream Fund, of which Zhang Shuo is the major shareholder holding 67% of the shares.
The result is.
Once the valuation of Germination exceeds 100 billion, Zhang Shuo's personal wealth will reach an exaggerated figure, surpassing the three Internet tycoons in one fell swoop and becoming the richest one.
Inevitably, you will be pushed to the forefront.
Even now, with the current operating income and business scale of the Sprout Group, it has easily entered the top 500 Chinese enterprises, and it is necessary to attract attention.
"You have to find a way to hide some of your strength, and don't be too sharp." Zhang Shuo pondered.
In the unique cultural atmosphere of China, people who stand out quickly die quickly. It does not mean that the sooner you become famous, the better. It is easy to cause pink eye to some people, and then lead to all kinds of troubles.
Some troubles may even be unexpected obstacles.
Naturally, it should be more low-key.
The problem is that the development of Germination is so rapid that even though Zhang Shuo has kept a low profile, he rarely accepts interviews with the media or makes any bold statements to the outside world.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He has even hid on the university campus.
That's it.
They were all still being targeted.
"Why not register an offshore company overseas and then transfer your personal shares to the overseas company? This will prevent you from being directly exposed to the media spotlight." Jiang Yue suggested.
This is not the first time Jiang Yue has proposed the establishment of an overseas offshore company. Lu Kai, financial department manager Han Mei and others have successively made similar suggestions to Zhang Shuo.
The benefits of using overseas offshore companies to control domestic companies are obvious.
The first is to enhance competitive advantage.
Many overseas listing cooperation and compliance tax planning are inseparable from offshore companies. With the help of the legal system and management independence of offshore companies, the company can bring more favorable space for development and enhance competitive advantages.
Second, the working capital is diverse.
If an offshore company controls a domestic company, the domestic company's capital pool must come from the holding company.
After an overseas offshore company is established, it can open bank accounts around the world to conduct international business for online banking transfer operations.
The third is to facilitate equity transfer.
During the company's listing and overseas cooperation, domestic companies can use offshore companies to hold holdings, and can also cooperate with other offshore companies to set up offshore structures to facilitate the equity transfer of the ultimate controller.
Fourth, it can establish an international brand.
After many domestic companies went public, they have used "return investment" or mergers and acquisitions and reorganizations to build and establish international brands in order to increase the international visibility of their products and open up the international market.
Fifth, enjoy the preferential tax system.
Places such as Xiangjiang have the characteristics of low taxes and low tax rates.
China also has special tax incentives for Xiangjiang. Domestic investors who register a company in Xiangjiang can enjoy relevant preferential foreign investment policies when connecting with mainland companies, which plays an important role in corporate tax planning.
This is why almost all domestic Internet companies, as long as they are somewhat famous and large, like to set up offshore company holdings overseas.
It has even become a trend in the industry. If you don’t set up several offshore companies, it seems very old-fashioned.
"inappropriate!"
Zhang Shuo decisively refused, "I said that Germination is a Chinese enterprise and will never engage in offshore enterprises."
There are certainly many benefits to setting up an offshore company, but in Zhang Shuo's eyes, these benefits are neither long-term, nor natural, nor irreplaceable.
Once it is exposed, it is actually just that, and it is not as magical as it is hyped to be.
For example, competitive advantage, in the final analysis, lies in the product itself. If the product is not well-made, everything else is virtual. Once the product is well-made, other things like tax planning and the like are just minutiae.
The same goes for the so-called international brand image. Take Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment as an example. If its mobile games are well made and popular around the world, it will naturally increase its international influence.
A negative example is Tengda.
Through its crazy investment and acquisitions overseas, Yuanshikong has indeed become the world's largest game manufacturer in terms of revenue, but Tenda Games has truly become famous overseas.
There was a lot of criticism even in China.
What’s the point of such internationalization?
Another example is overseas financing.
Sprout established Jiaoyang Holdings early and is fully capable of assuming overseas financing responsibilities.
As for equity transfer and the like, that is even more nonsense. Suya has no interest in listing overseas or introducing overseas investors.
What about equity transfer?
Zhang Shuo even sneered at the final tax benefit.
Pay taxes.
Isn't that what it should be?
"Then we can only find ways to invest in some media organizations and cover it up as much as possible." Jiang Yue could not understand Zhang Shuo's stubbornness, but could only settle for the next best thing.
I have been rejected a lot, and I have been mentally prepared for it.
Jiang Yue didn't even mention employee stock ownership. Although Zhang Shuo could be hidden behind the scenes, she also knew that Zhang Shuo was strongly opposed to employee stock ownership.
"The media can't touch it either. This is also a red line." Zhang Shuo shook his head.
"Then I really have no choice."
Jiang Yue was very troubled. The shareholding structure of Germination was really too simple. Not only at the group level, but also at the subsidiary level, except for Qingcheng Group, they were 100% controlled.
To an outsider, it would be obvious.
Even if you want to cover it up through complex cross-shareholdings, it is completely impossible.
"How about this first."
Zhang Shuo had an idea of his own, "I will transfer 20% of the shares of Sprout Group held in my name to Chunmiao Fund for custody. Of course, the voting rights will still be authorized to me. What do you think?"
"Yes, yes."
Jiang Yue did not object. It is common practice to transfer equity to public welfare funds. "The problem is, even if Chunmiao Fund manages 20% of the sprout shares, you still hold 47% of the sprout shares in your name."
It doesn't really mean much.
"It would be nice to dilute it a little bit, at least I won't be named the richest man again."
Even according to the valuation of 100 billion in the newspaper, after taking custody of 20% of the sprout equity, Zhang Shuo's personal assets will drop from 64.856 billion to 45.496 billion.
His personal wealth was reduced by 20 billion in an instant.
If necessary in the future, Zhang Shuo can also transfer more sprout equity to Chunmiao Fund.
As for why Zhang Shuo didn't transfer most of his shares to Chunmiao Fund in one fell swoop and hide behind the scenes, it was of course because he was preparing for something to happen to Chunmiao Fund.
Before ensuring the absolute safety of Chunmiao Fund, Zhang Shuo must personally hold enough shares.
Besides.
The injection of nearly 20 billion in assets is enough to put Chunmiao Fund among the top domestic public welfare funds.
It's already high-profile enough.
"This also has the advantage that in the future, the Chunmiao Fund will be able to maintain the operation of public welfare funds only by relying on the year-end dividends of the sprouts, and it can also dispel the outside world's doubts about the sustainability of the Chunmiao Fund."
Sprout Group is indeed still losing money on its books, but this kind of loss will not last long. When Maili Technology really starts to develop, it will almost be inevitable to achieve profitability.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the time is right.
Of course, Sprout also pays dividends, although the real shareholder is Zhang Shuo.
"Understood, I'll ask the legal department to draw up the contract."
In any case, Jiang Yue greatly appreciated Zhang Shuo's willingness to devote 20% of his shares to charity, and he was also happy to see the scale of Chun Miao Fund getting bigger and bigger.
As for the tax cuts caused by this, they are actually all details.
………
When Jiang Yue left, Zhang Shuo looked slightly gloomy and murmured to himself: "These cockroaches and mice hiding in dark corners are really evil."
Zhang Shuo was not sure whether this was another conspiracy against him.
But it must be given enough attention.
Allocating a portion of personal equity to Chunmiao Fund only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the allocation is done, the equity is still controlled by Zhang Shuo.
Change the soup but not the dressing.
Zhang Shuo is now very lucky that he chose to hand over his personal funds to Fenglei Fund for operation. If Fenglei Fund's investments were made in the name of Sprout, then they would be the same.
Then, when each of the invested unicorn companies becomes big, the wealth accumulated by the budding companies will be unimaginably huge, and it is inevitable that they will not be labeled as "monopolies".
The situation is bound to be even more difficult in the future.
Fenglei Fund will share some risks, and at the same time, with the convenience of private equity funds, when the unicorn grows up, it will choose to exit at the right time, so that it will not be so eye-catching.
Invisibly, many potential risks were eliminated for Zhang Shuo.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shuo rarely called his second uncle, "Second uncle, I have something to trouble you."
"you say."
Tang Yi on the other end of the phone was very strange. Zhang Shuo rarely opened his mouth to him, especially when he was on the phone like this. In the past, even if there was communication, it was face to face in the small courtyard.
"Is such that……"
Zhang Shuo explained everything that was reported in the news.
"Are you suspicious that someone is stabbing you in the back?" Tang Yi also looked serious.
"yes!"
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me."
Whether from an official standpoint or from an uncle-nephew standpoint, Tang Yi has every reason to protect Zhang Shuo from unnecessary pressure or harm from the outside world.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Zhang Shuo breathed a long sigh of relief.
In China, to deal with such matters, you have to go through upper-level channels.
"Are you being polite to me?"
After talking about business, even Tang Yi couldn't help but gossip, "Sprouting valuation, is it really worth 100 billion?"
"If there is no shadow, it would only be worth 70 to 80 billion if it reaches the sky."
Zhang Shuo rarely visited Versailles.
In fact, even if an investment institution now wants to invest in Germination with a valuation of 100 billion, Zhang Shuo will not accept it and sell more than a dozen shares in exchange for more than 10 billion in development funds.
Not worth it at all!
Therefore, in Zhang Shuo's mind, the valuation of Germination Group is actually over 100 billion.
"..."
Tang Yi was greatly shocked. Is there any difference?
It’s really hard to describe. In just over a year, Zhang Shuo managed to grow the business from nothing to its current scale with his own efforts and without any evil deeds.
Calling it a miracle is an understatement.
Then, Zhang Shuo told his second uncle about his plan to transfer part of the sprout shares to Chun Miao Fund. Even if he reported it to the official, it would be like adding a thick layer of buff.
"You did the right thing, and I support it."
Tang Yi was very pleased, "Taking from the people and returning it to society, this is a real hero!"
Not even a young man in his twenties or an old man in his 60s or 70s would be able to achieve this level of ambition and courage, so how could he not be admired?
Or rather.
In a sense, it is precisely because Zhang Shuo is young, vigorous, and has not been eroded or tied up by the overwhelming wealth that he does not place too much emphasis on personal wealth, but instead pays more attention to success itself.
How can he be like some old and cunning people who would rather bear the reputation of being a traitor than cling to their wealth?
Scrooge is real!
………
afternoon.
Zhang Shuo called Lu Kai to the office and said with a smile: "Didn't you propose setting up an independent investment company to run the group's investment business? I agreed. Let's call the new company Sprout Investment."
The incident in the morning made Zhang Shuo realize that some things must be accelerated.
Talk about it.
The name of Sprout Group from the beginning was Sprout Capital. After going round and round, it returned to the "original point".
Of course, establishing an independent investment company does not mean that Sprout Investment will truly operate independently. In essence, it is still left to the Group’s Investment and Acquisition Department.
Just when signing the investment contract, we no longer use the name Sprout Group, but switch to Sprout Investment.
On the one hand, this will facilitate independent financial accounting, and on the other hand, it will also help the Sprout Group transfer profits to Sprout Investment and then use them for investment business.
It is also conducive to making certain cuts to the Sprout Group and Sprout Investment.
It's like having double insurance.
"Transfer the Particle Fund, as well as the equity held by the Sprout Group in Wujiang Technology, Walli Intelligent Manufacturing, Linde New Energy and other companies, to the name of Sprout Investment to straighten out the relationship between them," Zhang Shuo ordered.
"OK."
Lu Kai was looking forward to it and asked with a smile: "Do you want to show off your talents in the investment business again?"
The so-called three things to do when a new official takes office.
As the new rotating president of Sprout Group, although he inevitably has to travel between Xiangjiang and Binhai, Lu Kai enjoys it and very much hopes to make some achievements in his tenure.
Investment is undoubtedly a good starting point.
"Don't think too much about it!"
Zhang Shuo cut off Lu Kai's extravagant hopes on the spot.
"For a long time to come, the group will still maintain a prudent attitude in its investment business. Even if it wants to invest, it will be to serve the group's business departments rather than investing blindly."
Tengda of the original time and space is a lesson learned from the past.
After establishing the "flow capital" strategy, Tenda, under the banner of "leaving half its life to its competitors", used its abundant cash flow and used flow as the driving force to dominate the investment market.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The most frequent investment year is that I invested in hundreds of companies in one year.
Because it only acts as a "strategic investor with purely financial investments", Tenda even once changed its image in the entrepreneurial circle, from a humble Tengda to a Tengda that everyone loves.
It is sought after by countless entrepreneurs.
Once a start-up company is spotted by Tenda, it seems that it needs traffic and capital.
Can you not welcome me?
A number of unicorn companies such as Jingdong, Moutuan, and Pinxixi have taken off one after another with the support of Tenda, which has also allowed Tenda to make a lot of money in its investment business.
It has greatly promoted the growth of Tenda's operating income.
The photo of Tenda having dinner together during the World Internet Conference went viral all over the Internet, and it became the best footnote to the success of Tenda’s “traffic capital” strategy.
Created a person who has friends all over the world.
But the highlight moment that belongs to Tenda alone lasted for less than five years. With the rise of short videos, the traffic moat Tenda built with ICQ and Weixin as its hubs faced challenges.
Following the official policy adjustment, Tenda's gaming business also suffered a heavy blow.
The two core businesses suffered setbacks one after another, which immediately shattered Tenda's previously seemingly indestructible golden armor. The stock price fell all the way, and was even cut in half.
At that time, Tengda was jokingly called "Tengda without dreams."
Everything seems to be back to where it started.
Under heavy pressure, in order to adjust deployment, cut expenses, and eliminate marginal projects, even Tenda had to initiate large-scale layoffs, which even triggered heated discussions online.
In view of this.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Shuo to make rapid progress in the investment business and forget the essence of investment.
When venture capital and investment banks make investments, their essence is to make money.
This is nothing to say.
However, an investment department like the Sprout Group essentially serves the business department. Making money is also important, but it is only a secondary purpose.
Tengda failed to understand this point, and that's why it stumbled.
What's more, compared to Tenda's deep pockets and focus on the Internet industry, Sprout's capital is not as good as Tenda's, and its business ambitions are greater than Tenda's.
How is it possible to continue to increase investment in investment business?
Prudent investment is the right approach.
"All right!"
Although Lu Kai was frustrated, he was not discouraged, "What about the application for a financial license that I proposed before?"
"It can also be pushed forward."
Zhang Shuo's recent change in business thinking is also reflected in his attitude towards finance. He no longer fears it like a snake or scorpion and avoids it, but begins to try to understand it.
In the final analysis, finance is just a leverage tool. Whether it is good or bad depends on how it is used.
The sprouts should not be eaten due to choking.
Lu Kai’s suggestion is to establish a separate financial services company, Sprout Finance, based on the “change” function that Weixin will launch in 2012.
Apply for a financial license and enter the Internet financial industry.
It’s no different from the original way of playing in Time and Space Tengda.
In this regard, Zhang Shuo must of course impose certain restrictions and cannot repeat Tengda's old path of raising two fingers. "The premise is that I have two hard requirements for this company."
"You say."
Lu Kai paid great attention to it and took out his notepad.
"First, what we are applying to establish is not an ordinary financial services company, but a financial holding company. All financial-related businesses of the Sprout Group will be incorporated into this financial holding company, leaving no dead ends and consciously accepting all aspects of
Supervise, improve risk isolation measures, and standardize related transactions.”
Compliance and legality are Zhang Shuo's bottom line, especially in the sensitive financial industry.
"Second, we don't engage in high leverage or ABS nesting dolls. We can do as much work as we have the registered capital and capital. We can't be wild-minded, let alone step on the red line."
"In this case, the dishes that can be managed are very limited." Lu Kai was unwilling to accept it.
If the registered capital of Germinal Financial Holdings is 3 billion, according to relevant regulations, it can lend at a leverage ratio of ten times the registered capital.
In other words, it will be able to undertake up to 30 billion in online small loans.
If jointly lending with a bank, according to regulations, the joint loan capital contribution ratio must not be less than 30%, then Germinal Financial Holdings can undertake up to 100 billion in online small loans.
It seems like a lot, but it’s definitely not that interesting.
"I don't want to make the plate too big. The main thing is that the risks are controllable."
Zhang Shuo's words are serious and thoughtful.
"I agreed to set up Sprout Financial Holdings mainly for the convenience of financing for the group in the future. I didn't think about making too much profit by relying on this kind of online loan. I don't care if I don't touch some of the profits."
As the Sprout Group becomes larger and larger and earns more and more, its thirst for funds will also increase, and the corresponding financing difficulty and financing costs will gradually increase.
It is unrealistic to get a large loan from a bank.
Overseas financing is indeed a good channel, but it is not a panacea.
Corporate bonds cannot be issued frequently.
In contrast, it may be a good choice to use Weixin payment and change to obtain loans from Weixin users at relatively low loan interest rates.
It's a win-win situation.
In the eyes of the outside world, there may still be a lot of uncertainty in the future development of Sprout Group, but in Zhang Shuo's case, as the two major businesses of gaming and social networking gradually take shape, the future certainty of Sprout Group has actually been on the rise.
, it is difficult to lose money.
Since this is the case, then the lending of money by Sprout Financial Holdings to Sprout Group is a low-risk event.
Naturally, it’s a win-win situation!
"Fine!"
After all, Zhang Shuo always insisted on what he said in the group, so Lu Kai could only choose to compromise.
What's more, whether it is Sprout Investment or Sprout Financial Holdings, they are still only on paper. The first step is to build these two companies.
We will talk about other things later.
"You will be fully responsible for the preparations for the establishment of the two companies. The subsequent operations of these two companies, together with Jiaoyang Holdings, will still be under your charge, and the person in charge will report directly to you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just after hitting Lu Kai, Zhang Shuo quickly gave him another handful of red dates.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang!"
As expected, Lu Kai felt comfortable immediately.
In the past, he was only in charge of the overseas business department, and his authority was inevitably a bit thin. Now he is also responsible for Sprout Investment and Sprout Financial Holdings, which is equivalent to becoming the main person in charge of the group's investment and financial related businesses.
His status rose instantly.
After half a year, even if he steps down as the rotating president, he will still be able to stand up straight in the group.
From Zhang Shuo's point of view, when managing such a large group enterprise, it is natural for him to understand the power in the hands of his subordinates, so as to avoid using people who are suspicious and trusting those he employs.
Among the three current vice presidents of Sprout Group——
Jiang Yue is in charge of administration, public welfare and functional departments, Lu Kai is in charge of overseas, investment and financial related departments. Gu Mingzhang's main focus is still on Maili Technology, and the group's side is only "part-time".
Coupled with the two "hum ha" generals, Human Resources Director Wu Sheyuan and Operations Director Zhao Mingchuan, the group's senior management configuration can only be said to be barely adequate, but it is far from perfect.
When the time is right, Germination will also add a new vice president.
It would be best to add a vice president in charge of Internet business, in charge of the three Internet-related subsidiaries of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, Qinghe Technology and Qingyun Data.
As the time goes.
Zhang Shuo has less and less energy to directly manage his subsidiaries.
"Mr. Zhang, how will the funds be arranged for the two new companies, Sprout Investment and Sprout Financial Holdings?" Lu Kai wanted to do something, and he couldn't wait to ask for money.
It's not that Lu Kai is impatient.
In fact, even though the 1.2 billion funds raised by the Sprout Group from selling 71 Assistant and Motu Xiuxiu have not yet arrived, they are already being targeted by many people overtly and covertly.
Everyone wants to get a piece of the action.
If we don't take action early, we will have to wait until the preparations for the two new companies are in place, and I'm afraid the day lily will be cold.
"Merratory Investment is supported by the Particle Fund, and it only plans to allocate one billion in funds for the time being. Germinal Financial Holdings will do it based on a budget of three billion, and a lending scale of 100 billion is enough." Zhang Shuo is not stingy.
If you have sufficient funds in your hands and can do things clearly, you will naturally feel confident.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang!"
Of course Lu Kai was even happier.
The two new companies combined would be equivalent to taking away one-third of the 1.2 billion funds in one go. Naturally, they did not dare to expect more.
If you are not satisfied, then you are greedy.
………
the next day.
The matter of Zhang Shuo becoming the new richest man is still quietly fermenting.
Although the second uncle's side has already started to deal with it, and Jiang Yue has contacted many mainstream websites and taken preventive measures in advance, it still failed to prevent relevant news from spreading to the Internet.
Facts also prove it.
Today, when the Internet is highly developed, it is impossible to block relevant information as long as the opponent is interested.
You can only press the heat level at most.
But Zhang Shuo himself is a super "Internet celebrity" with a hot topic, and it involves a super hot topic such as China's richest man, so he can't suppress it even if he wants to.
Before the second uncle could handle the situation properly, online public opinion was detonated in advance.
"I'll go, did you read that right? King Meng will now become the richest man in New China?"
"It feels so unreal."
"It's probably a gimmick. No matter how good the sprout is, can it compare to the Big Three?"
"It's just that, except for games, Sprout doesn't seem to have any good products, right? At most, it's just a low-end version of Tenda. How did it become the new richest man?"
really.
Netizens have a very serious rebellious mentality, and some even hate the rich.
People who had supported Zhang Shuo before saw that Zhang Shuo was suddenly dubbed the richest man at such a young age. They instinctively felt offended and reacted on the spot.
This shows the complexity of human nature.
Of course, there are rationalists, "I think it's very reasonable. According to the article, Qingcheng Group alone is valued at 16 billion, and the overall valuation of Sprout Group is over 100 billion. Isn't it normal?"
"that is!"
"The personal wealth of Meng Wang has skyrocketed. That's because Meng Wang holds a lot of shares in Bud Ya. Unlike other entrepreneurs, most of the shares have been taken away by investment institutions."
"The correct solution upstairs!"
"Some people are just jealous and don't want to see other people's success."
"Then since Zhang Shuo is so successful, why doesn't he donate the money? With a personal wealth of more than 60 billion, if one person in the country is given 10,000, that's more than enough, right?"
"Haha, the IQ upstairs is worrying. If you haven't graduated from elementary school, you don't need to go out to hang out."
"Why do you donate all the money you earn based on your skills? Why don't you donate your salary? Even if it's one thousand or two thousand, I respect you as a man!"
"How serious is it to compete with someone eating instant noodles upstairs? Having said that, hasn't Moiya invested less in public welfare? It is already far ahead of other Internet companies, okay?"
"That's right, I hate those people who force people to donate the most. They look like holy mothers, but they are actually green tea!!"
"Let's all just watch and have fun. This is obviously a reporter's sensationalism. Let's see how Mo Ya will respond. Don't let others lead you."
“Looking forward to 1!”
I have to say that Zhang Shuo is still very popular online. Although it is inevitable that there will be some jumps and some fish in troubled waters, but the overall situation is not bad.
At least there was no wave of unanimous, verbal and written criticism.
And this trend of public opinion will probably disappoint those conspirators hiding in dark corners, trying to watch a good show, right?
In the final analysis.
It was Moya who persisted in doing charity and won the hearts of the people, and the aura of stacking took effect at the critical moment.
It can be seen that it was done correctly.

Sprout Building.
"Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect that public opinion would ferment so quickly." Jiang Yue blamed herself.
Although the public opinion on the Internet is generally good, the matter has been exposed after all, and the public opinion is still fermenting. It is really difficult to predict what emergencies will happen in the future.
what can be confirmed is.
After this round of "exposure", Zhang Shuo has completely become a household name in China. Regardless of whether he can claim the title of China's richest man or not, his astonishing wealth is an undoubted fact.
Zhang Shuo was immediately pushed to the forefront.
As the saying goes: "People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong."
Zhang Shuo is now famous and very strong, so many people may be thinking about him.
"It has nothing to do with you." Zhang Shuo was very calm, "Public opinion has fermented so quickly, but it is basically certain that from beginning to end, someone wanted to mess with me behind my back."
"The other party has been planning for a long time, and it is calculated with intention but not intention. If they want to stop it, they will definitely not be able to stop it."
"That's fine. It's better for the opponent to jump out this time than to hide in the ditch and wait until we are weak before jumping out and giving us a fatal blow."
"Just think of it as squeezing out the pustule in advance!"
Jiang Yue admired Zhang Shuo's calmness and asked for instructions: "Then, start the plan now?"
Since Sprout has internally defined this matter as a public relations crisis, it is natural that there cannot be only one plan. Jiang Yue stayed up late and worked overtime at the company last night, preparing various plans overnight.
It is this kind of emergency situation that we should be prepared for.
"Start it!"
Zhang Shuo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and dark clouds drifted across the sky in the distance.
