Chapter 295: Germination counterattacks, Scarlet Capital surrenders, thats it?
Thursday, January 12th.
As soon as Zhang Shuo returned to Binhai City, Jiang Yue came to report.
"Mr. Zhang, the package purchase contract for the remaining land in Germinal Industrial Park has been finalized with Houhai officials. The total land price is 5.5 billion. Houhai also took the initiative to help us contact the bank. After paying the land transfer fee, we can use a convenient channel to obtain a mortgage loan.
, the loan is 70%, which is 3.85 billion."
That is to say.
To acquire the remaining land in the industrial park, Sprout actually only had to pay 1.65 billion in cash.
Of course, this is already a considerable amount of expenditure. If the follow-up project construction expenditure is included, conservative estimates suggest that the expenditure on industrial park projects for the whole of 2012 will exceed 3 billion.
The budget of Germination Group this year will be increased by a small step.
"So fast?"
Zhang Shuo was very surprised. According to his prediction, no matter what, this matter would have to be postponed until after the year.
"I guess Houhai was also stimulated. Seeing you traveling to the Magic City and Haijin City to meet with leaders from all walks of life, Houhai was also anxious. He handled special matters and gave the green light all the way." Jiang Yue explained with a smile.
She still remembers how excited Houhai was after proactively proposing a package of solutions.
It's like pie in the sky.
"That's right."
Zhang Shuo didn't expect it either.
It seems that being famous is not always a bad thing, sometimes it can also be a good thing.
"Then continue to work hard and try to finalize the formal contract before the holidays at the end of the year." Zhang Shuo also acted resolutely, "If it goes quickly, the construction of the industrial park will start next spring."
"Don't worry!"
Jiang Yue is already very familiar with handling mortgage loans.
After talking about work, Jiang Yue talked about another matter, "Mr. Zhang, Binhai University's treatment of Li Ming is to keep him on probation. Do you think the group needs to prosecute Li Ming?"
"Forget it, let's end this matter here!"
Li Ming is just a pawn, not worth mentioning.
After this incident, no matter how Binhai University handles it, Li Ming will be in a very difficult situation at school, and it may even affect his job after graduation.
If you are on the blacklist of the Sprout Group, you will definitely have no chance of entering a major Internet company.
In view of this, there is no need to pursue and fight fiercely.
It seems too petty.
Zhang Shuo is more concerned about who is the instigator behind Li Ming. This matter has been handed over to Li Feng for investigation.
………
Friday arrived in a blink of an eye.
Next Sunday is New Year's Eve, and as the Spring Festival is approaching, Germination Group has also chosen the annual company annual meeting to be held on the Friday of the last week.
Let's have some fun, everyone.
In addition to performances and raffles, the biggest change at this year's annual meeting is the inclusion of awards.
For example, best new employee.
Zhang Shuo, the big boss, is also generous. Each of the ten best new employees selected will receive a cash reward of 10,000, so they can live a prosperous new year.
Among them is Administrative Secretary Dai Yutong.
Zhang Shuo does not engage in the practice of promoting talents and avoiding relatives. Dai Yutong himself has done a good job. He is also his administrative secretary and can be regarded as the leader among this new employees.
Of course you need to take extra care.
Other awards include best employee, best sales, best programmer and other awards.
What attracts the most attention is, of course, the most important annual President's Special Contribution Award. Last year, Jiang Yue won the award, and this year, Wu Sheyuan won the award in recognition of his outstanding contributions in the group's human resources field.
Received a special bonus of one million.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang!"
After receiving the award certificate from Zhang Shuo, even with Wu Sheyuan's calmness, he couldn't help but be excited.
This is not just a matter of money.
It is also the greatest recognition of his work over the past year.
The person in charge of human resources and finance is not easy to be replaced. Wu Sheyuan won the President's Special Contribution Award, which almost established his unbreakable position in the Germination Group.
Can you not be excited?
Not to mention that after the annual meeting, Chen Xiaowan organized the budding executives to sing in KTV.
………
weekend.
Before the Chinese New Year, Zhang Shuo went to visit Mr. Tang again and met his second uncle by the way.
Tang Yi patted Zhang Shuo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How are you? You're not discouraged, are you?"
"I'm fine, where are you now?" Zhang Shuo smiled.
"Not bad, my attitude is very good."
Tang Yi was very pleased, "You are mediocre if you are not envied by others. There are indeed some very bad signs in this incident. I have warned some people, but there is no guarantee that similar things will not happen again next time."
."
Tang Yi was really angry this time.
Someone actually messed with Zhang Shuo under his nose. He was really a tiger who didn't show his strength. He treated him as a sick cat and was determined to solve and rectify some stubborn forces.
Resolutely show a clear attitude to the outside world.
It was also from this moment that Tang Yi truly stood behind Zhang Shuo and became Zhang Shuo's strong backing.
"It is inevitable that there will be similar struggles and conflicts in the future. You must be mentally prepared." Tang Yi is a person who has experienced great storms and understands the complexity of the world and the complexity of people's hearts.
"I know."
Zhang Shuo was also somewhat mentally prepared. The shopping mall was like a battlefield, with invisible swords and swords everywhere.
There is no such thing as quiet time.
Let’s not talk too far, let’s talk about the confrontation between Tengda and Qihu. In the end, all kinds of tricks were used. It was definitely a hundred times more exciting than the TV series.
As the Germination Group grows, Zhang Shuo must also learn to adapt to this new normal.
"The principles of shopping malls and power fields are actually the same."
Tang Yi couldn't help but give Zhang Shuo a few words, "If you want to accomplish something, you must let those who oppose you understand you, let those who understand you support you, let those who support you be loyal to you, and let those who are loyal to you defend you."
.Allow someone to dislike you, but don’t let them hate you. If he wants to hate you, make him afraid of you.”
Zhang Shuo was thoughtful.
Those guys behind him dared to provoke him again and again, obviously because they were not afraid of him.
Without reverence, one will naturally behave unscrupulously.
This made Zhang Shuo deeply realize that in certain matters, it might be time to take the initiative and show off his thunderous methods. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to intimidate the young people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!......
After returning from Mr. Tang's place, Zhang Shuo received another call from Mr. Zhang.
"Son, when will you come home for vacation?"
"Next week, what's the matter?"
"The leader of Jiangcheng has visited our home for the second time, asking for information about you in a roundabout way." Zhang Shuo is successful, but Zhang Zhandong is also worried.
The couple was afraid that something would happen to Zhang Shuo.
The leaders of Jiangcheng visited Zhang Zhandong. Naturally, they were not interested in drinking. They pointed their swords at Zhang Shuo, the new "richest man", and hoped that Germinal Group could invest in Jiangcheng.
This is the price of being famous.
"I understand. When I return to Jiangcheng, we can arrange to meet." In China, Zhang Shuo is not qualified to show off, especially when facing the leaders of his hometown.
No matter what, you have to make some gestures.
"If you are in trouble, forget it. Or just stay in Binhai City for the New Year. I will block it for you in Jiangcheng." Zhang Zhandong is still very sensible.
To put it bluntly, what is there in Jiangcheng that is worthy of investment by Sprout Group?
He did not want interference from the local area to affect the decision-making of the Germination Group, and thus affect Zhang Shuo's personal judgment.
Parents are naturally happy when their children are successful.
But I am too promising and worried.
For example, Zhang Zhandong and his wife were very worried during this rich man scandal, fearing that Zhang Shuo would be brought down and unable to do anything.
It can only be sleepless nights.
"Old Zhang, it's okay. It's okay to meet, but you don't have to agree to invest immediately." Zhang Shuo has dealt with officials a lot, especially under the influence of his second uncle, and Zhang Shuo has become well versed in how to get along with each other.
Who doesn’t know how to do Tai Chi?
If he really wanted to hide and not go back, he would be clean, but Lao Zhang would feel uncomfortable.
do not forget.
Lao Zhang is still eating from the public family, so he is in the middle of the situation, how can he remain indifferent?
………
Monday, January 16th.
Today is the New Year, and workers are still working hard. Although after the annual meeting, the company has actually entered a "standby" state, fishing and chatting.
Zhang Shuo was as serious as ever.
In the last week of the year, ordinary employees may be very leisurely, but he is even busier.
The rhythm of budding has not been disrupted.
For example, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has sold the overseas agency rights of "Mountain Racing", "Arthur's Kingdom: Battle of the North" and "Honkai Academy" launched last month to Jiaoyang Holdings.
All three mobile games are suitable for overseas promotion, and the agency fees have also reached a new high, with a cumulative price of 1.8 billion.
It has set a new high for the overseas agency rights of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment’s games.
Another example is Qinghe Technology, which updated Weixin version 6.2 before the year-end holiday and officially launched the "Weixin Red Envelope" function to warm up the upcoming Spring Festival red envelope activity.
In the afternoon, Lu Kai came to Zhang Shuo's office.
"Mr. Zhang, we have found out that it is indeed Scarlet Capital who is behind this. It is said that because we interfered with the merger of Moutuan and Dacong Dianping, someone within Scarlet Capital was dissatisfied and deliberately disgusted us."
"Is it led by Tan Chai Ren again?"
"I don't know exactly who it is, but it's probably close to ten." It was impossible for Lu Kai to investigate in such detail.
"We have to think of a way to teach Scarlet Capital a lesson. We can't be disgusted by others all the time." Zhang Shuo felt very unhappy. He raised his head and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"
"According to the news I have received, Scarlet Capital has recently been in contact with Tubatu, a start-up company in Binhai City, and plans to lead Tubatu's Series A financing. I suggest that Sprout Investment can step in."
Tubatu was established in July 2008. It is an Internet home decoration company that mainly operates two business lines, namely online platform and home decoration contracting business.
Original Spacetime has a close relationship with Scarlet Capital, which led the first three rounds of financing.
"Can."
Zhang Shuo immediately agreed.
In this three-acre area of Binhai City, Germination still has some influence.
Especially with the scandal of the richest man, the popularity of Bu Ya has soared, and the attitude of many domestic start-up companies towards Bu Ya investment has also changed.
From the previous rejection, I became willing to accept the budding investment.
Some people in the industry have even advocated listing the Germinal Group as the fourth giant after the Big Three.
If we can seize Tubatu's Series A financing from Scarlet Capital, it will not only be a warning to Scarlet Capital, but also help promote the cooperation between Tubatu and Qingyun Data.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
"But it's not enough."
Zhang Shuo, however, was upset and asked Lu Kai: "How is the current situation of the mold group?"
Ever since the last time Mei Ya rejected Ahri's shares in Moutuan, and it was revealed that Tengda was interested in bringing Moutuan together, and Da Cong Dianping cooperated with him, and the matter was revealed, Moutuan has become a complete abandonment.
"very bad."
Lu Kai said with a smile: "It is said that more than half of the employees have been lost, and the capital chain is about to break. Last month, the food delivery subsidy was canceled. It is far behind Dacongdianping, Nomi.com, and Ali-Dianping."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Shuo felt a little sad.
He also didn't expect that just by playing a little trick, the original time and space would be so powerful that it once squeezed out Qiandu and became one of the three new giants of the Internet, and was swept into the dust of history in one fell swoop.
Who would have thought of this?
Due to the butterfly effect, Ahri and Qiandu entered the food delivery industry early, and the three giants competed for hegemony. It was destined that the mold group would not be able to obtain the same living space as in the original time and space, and it would not be able to develop and grow.
There is no mold, which is actually quite good.
"In this way," Zhang Shuo quickly came up with an idea, "inform Pei Weiping and find any reason to remove Qingcheng Xiaozhu from Da Cong Dian Ping and freeze our cooperation."
"Are you going to target Tengda?" Lu Kai didn't understand.
The current structure of the food delivery industry is very delicate. On the surface, the three giants maintain a balance of power, and they are all using subsidies to conquer cities and territories. No one can beat the other.
Qingcheng Xiaozhu, a subsidiary of Qingcheng Group, plays the role of stabilizer.
Once Qingcheng Xiaozhu is taken off the shelves of Dacong Dianping, Dacong Dianping will immediately fall off the chain during this critical period, and it will probably be dropped by Ali-Dianping and Nomi.com in one fell swoop.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is definitely not what Dacong Dianping wants to see.
"It's not against Tenda, but against Scarlet Capital."
Zhang Shuo had already figured it out, "You should find an opportunity to contact Tengda and tell me that the reason why Qingcheng Group suspended its cooperation with Dacong Dianping is because Scarlet Capital messed with me, and Mo Ya wants to take a bad breath."
"I see!"
Of course, Lu Kai was not stupid. He said with a smile: "Are you trying to force Tengda to kick Scarlet Capital out of Dacong Dianping?"
"Then it depends on whether Tengda is ruthless enough."
Zhang Shuo is actually not absolutely sure. He only remembers that as the world's second largest investment institution, Time and Space Tengda has a conflict of interest with Scarlet Capital.
But the investment business of Shitengda has just started, and it has not yet competed with Scarlet Capital.
But it never hurts to give it a try.
………
Tenda Building.
Lu Kai moved quickly. Almost at the same time that Qingcheng Group announced the suspension of cooperation with Dacong Dianping, he had already completed the contact with Tengda in private.
He had known Lu Jian before.
"It turns out Scarlet Capital hired someone to do that."
Recently, there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the richest man, and of course the second master is also paying attention.
To be honest, the second master must have felt a little uncomfortable when his personal wealth was surpassed by a newcomer like Zhang Shuo, but there was nothing he could do because he held too few Tengda shares.
Don't talk about this life anymore.
In the original time and space, weren't the three uncles also overtaken by a mineral water seller because their shareholdings were too low?
Obediently give up your throne as the richest man in China.
And it lasted for two years, which is even more embarrassing.
"Bu Ya hated Scarlet Capital, and Scarlet Capital took the opportunity to hate Zhang Shuo. Zhang Shuo was angry, but he took it out on Cong Dianping. What kind of thing is this?" After talking to Lu Kai, Lu Jian became very depressed.
It's a disaster that affects the fish in the pond.
It just so happened that Sprout had such capital. With just one announcement, it was able to seize Da Cong Dian Ping's hand.
It's really uncomfortable.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. The key is how to solve the problem." The second master stopped Lu Jian's complaints. He usually didn't like to act out of emotion.
In fact, there is nothing to discuss.
There are only two ways before Tengda, either reject the unreasonable request of Mei Ya, or accept it.
It's that simple.
"Refuse to sprout, the risk is too great."
Lu Jian also gave up in a second, "If the takeout market is dominated by Da Cong Dian Ping, then we will naturally not be afraid of threats. But the key to the problem now is that Ahri and Qiandu are watching from the sidelines."
can only say.
The timing of Germination Choice's move was too good.
According to the goal set by Qingcheng Group, thousands of new Qingcheng Xiaozhu stores will be opened throughout 2012, and this year will be a critical year in the takeout war.
Under such circumstances, if Da Cong Dian Ping loses Qing Cheng Xiao Zhu, it would be tantamount to cutting off an arm.
"Then agree to Mei Ya's request."
The second master was very decisive and said expressionlessly: "Send a wholly-owned acquisition application to Da Cong Dian Ping."
Even if there is no such thing as sprouting, in order to provide Dacong Dianping with sufficient funds for takeout subsidies, Tenda has already planned to lead the B-round financing of Dacong Dianping.
"But a wholly-owned acquisition is not in line with our previously formulated investment strategy."
Tenda's positioning in the investment business has always been to act as the best financial investor. Let alone a wholly-owned acquisition, it does not even seek to control the company, nor does it care whether it is the largest shareholder.
"Then is there any way you can squeeze Scarlet Capital out?"
This is also a helpless move for the second master.
Scarlet Capital is a giant after all. If possible, the second master does not want to have a bad relationship with Scarlet Capital early. Only a full acquisition can allow Scarlet Capital to exit with dignity.
"That's okay!"
Even if Lu Jian was reluctant, he could only hold his nose and admit it.
"What do you think of the red envelope function just launched by Weixin?" Erye looked at Renyu.
The three giants of Tengda met together, of course, not just for Cong Dianping's affairs, but also to touch upon some company matters before the Spring Festival holiday.
"I can't see anything special right now." Renyu told the truth.
"We still need to keep an eye on it. If it is indeed useful, then ICQ and WeChat can also learn from it. The function of red envelopes is not considered an infringement of intellectual property rights, right?" Erye looked as usual.
"Okay, I'll have someone study it."
Renyu also follows the good deeds and has no psychological burden on learning from Weixin.
When Lu Jian and Renyu left, the second master closed his eyes and rested, but he was thinking about Zhang Shuo's attitude.
After meeting at the award ceremony, Zhang Shuo rarely let go and allowed Tenda to obtain the qualification to acquire 71 Assistant. Although Tenda was eliminated in the end, he still had no one to blame.
Plus this time.
Even if Zhang Shuo wanted to rectify Scarlet Capital, he gave Tengda a warning.
It can be regarded as a continuous release of goodwill.
"It's a pity that our two families have fundamental conflicts in business."
The second master has a headache.
………
Coastal City, Tuba Rabbit.
"Boss, Scarlet Capital and Sprout Investment have recently approached us one after another, hoping to lead Tubatu's Series A financing, and both have exclusivity. Which one should we choose?"
Tubatu, which has been established for more than three years, is experiencing troubles with happiness.
"what is your opinion?"
Tubatu founder and CEO Wang Bin also has a headache.
"It's hard to say. Of course Scarlet Capital is good, and its reputation in the Internet industry is also excellent. How many startups are eager to be noticed by Scarlet Capital."
"But having said that, Sprout Investment is also very good, and they are located in Binhai City. The most important thing is that by accepting Sprout Investment, you can not only obtain funds, but also cooperate with Qingyun Data."
Inside and outside the words, it is biased towards the bud.
This is also normal.
Scarlet Capital may be very competitive in the face of other venture capital, but it seems a bit weak when faced with a giant like Sprout that is not short of money and can provide in-depth business cooperation.
"Then choose Mo Ya, he is the richest man after all." Wang Bin made the decision with a smile.
………
As the New Year approaches, the Internet has become peaceful again, with less disputes and more celebrations. Major Internet manufacturers have also intensively launched various Spring Festival marketing activities.
Underneath the peace, there is an undercurrent.
Especially for Scarlet Capital, the last week of the year is particularly difficult.
First, we received an official warning, warning Scarlet Capital to abide by the rules and not to do anything too outrageous, causing trouble for everyone and blatantly breaking the rules of the game.
In the land of China, even Scarlet Capital does not dare to act unscrupulously.
Dare to jump back.
Someone taught him how to be a good person every minute.
Then news spread that Tengda intends to acquire Dacong Dianping wholly.
This not only means that Scarlet Capital will be forced to withdraw from Dacong Dianping, but also means that after losing the platform of Dacong Dianping, Scarlet Capital will completely retreat from the local life service track.
This is definitely a heavy loss for Scarlet Capital, no less than a Waterloo.
Adou can no longer help Mitu Tuan.
Even if the mold group Wang Xin vows, he is confident that as long as Scarlet Capital invests another two to three hundred million US dollars, he will lead the mold group to stand out from the pinch of the three giants.
But Scarlet Capital didn’t believe it.
It’s not that I don’t believe it, but Scarlet Capital’s investment strategy is usually to “use small to make big”, and likes to lead the A, B, and C rounds of financing for start-up companies.
And often it is not a company that acts alone, or it involves other venture capital firms, or it involves Internet companies such as Tenda and Ali to act together.
This not only has a higher chance of success, but also consumes less funds.
Scarlet Capital seems to be the dominant force in China's Internet, but it actually has only 20 to 30 billion in funds, yet it dares to invest in 400 to 500 start-ups.
The average family only has tens of millions of funds.
Some may only invest a few million, while others may only invest one to two hundred million.
Specifically down to mold.
If Tengda and Ahli are willing to continue investing, then Scarlet Capital will naturally be happy to invest.
But if we only rely on Scarlet Capital, even if we have the financial strength, we are not willing to take this risk alone and take a chance on an invisible future.
It is inevitable to reject Wang Xin.
Don't expect these venture capital institutions to show any favors, as they are usually ruthless.
In addition to Dacong Dianping, the contact with Tubatu also changed midway. Tubatu, who was originally very enthusiastic, suddenly changed his mind two days ago and froze the negotiation process.
They said they would wait until after the new year to talk about it.
Scarlet Capital sent someone to inquire and found out that it was Sprout Investment that was in contact with Tubatu.
Instantly I understood what was going on.
"Grudge, Zhang Shuo!"
Tan Chairen, vice president of Scarlet Capital, had a slightly complicated expression at the moment.
He originally thought that through some public opinion wars, he could discredit Zhang Shuo and make Zhang Shuo miserable at the minimum cost. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuo turned out to be an untouchable hedgehog with unfathomable moral behavior.
Not only did he fail to do anything to Zhang Shuo, but he caused a lot of trouble, and he soon received revenge from Mei Ya.
"Let's put an end to the confrontation with Germination for now."
The chairman of Scarlet Capital finally made the final decision, "Even if we have to compete with Moya, it will be in the shopping mall. We are not allowed to engage in these useless little tricks in the future, which will make people laugh in vain."
This last sentence is a warning to Tan Chai Ren not to bring personal emotions to work.
Capital is greedy and bloodthirsty, but it is also best at actuarial calculations.
Once they realized that Mei Ya was not easy to deal with and had a bad temper, and that there was no real benefit in confronting Mei Ya, Scarlet Capital could immediately adjust its strategy.
