Chapter 303: The Green Orange Business Department is restructured, the 4G era is coming, and artificial intelligence is sprouting!
Tenda’s internal meetings are still going on.
"Looking back now, Zhang Shuo's previous overtures regarding the 71 Assistant matter were more like a delaying tactic. Whether we admit it or not, there has been a structural conflict between Moya and Tengda."
Lu Jian made his argument.
Think about it, from the beginning of games, to social networking, and later extended to local life services, game live broadcasts and news clients, the business competition between Buya and Tenda is almost everywhere.
What is even more worrying is that in addition to these competitive businesses, Moya also holds two trump cards: mobile phones and cloud computing.
This is something Tengda has never been involved in.
"If this trend continues, it will only be a matter of time before the sprouts surpass us."
Renyu is also very pessimistic.
He could still be arrogant when facing Mei Ya before, but with the valuation of Mei Ya exceeding 100 billion, and just selling 71 Assistant to recover tens of billions of funds, he was neither short of money nor short of people, and suddenly he became less confident.
Renyu also received news that Weixin has planned to launch the game center function.
The competition will only become more fierce in the future.
"Don't say anything if you're frustrated." The second master was determined, "You still need to be tough on yourself. No matter what actions the sprouts take, doing our own thing well is the first priority."
After last year’s continuous adjustments, Tenda’s development strategy for the next five years has been very clear, and it is impossible to make any major adjustments or breakthroughs. What can be done now is to firmly implement the established strategy and avoid falling behind on the new track.
The rest can only be left to fate.
This sounds correct, but isn't it just another form of showing weakness?
Obvious.
I don’t know since when, Er Ye has regarded Mo Ya as an opponent of equal weight.
………
Ahri Headquarters.
The merger of Qingcheng Group and Moutuan also caught Ahri off guard.
Although Ahli is one of the major shareholders of Miltuan, Wang Xin, as the actual controller of Miltuan, has full authority to make decisions independently and only needs to go through the board of directors process afterwards.
Even if Ah Li objects, it is of no use.
"Zhang Shuo, this kid, is playing a bit unethical. We offered the shares to Moutuan before, but he refused rightly. When Moutuan almost couldn't bear it anymore, he ran out to pick peaches again."
The uncle feels a little uncomfortable.
But what if you feel uncomfortable? The shopping mall is like a battlefield. If you lose, you can only be inferior to others in terms of skills.
"What I'm more worried about is, after Qingcheng Group merges with Mold Group, will it change its previous non-alignment strategy and join the subsidy war?" Ren Xiaoyao reminded.
If this really happens, the takeout industry will really turn into a mess and a fight between gods.
"This is simple."
The uncle was very straightforward, "Aren't we also one of the shareholders of Qingcheng Group? Just ask directly."
Although after the merger, Ahli only held less than 1.6% of the shares of Qingcheng Group, it could be regarded as entering the circle of Qingcheng Group and establishing a relationship with Moya.
"Understood, I will get in touch with Qingcheng as soon as possible."
Unknowingly, because of Qingcheng Xiaozhu's pivotal position, every move of Qingcheng Group is affecting the nerves of the entire food delivery industry, and it may become the center of a storm at any time.
"Is this the true purpose of Qingcheng?"
Ren Xiaoyao was suddenly startled.
But thinking about it, Ren Xiaoyao didn't point it out, because after all, local life services are not Ali's current core business, and it is impossible to say that it will devote more resources to it.
It’s good to have a big family and a big business, but how to allocate resources is also a headache.
Take Ali for example. It must not only consolidate its core e-commerce business, but also maintain its cloud computing, entertainment and other businesses. It must also develop efforts in new areas such as map navigation and local life services, and it must also focus on investment business.
It is impossible to concentrate all your energy in one place.
………
Wednesday, February 22nd.
No matter how the outside world reacts, the merger between Qingcheng Group and Moutuan is proceeding in an orderly manner. Zhang Shuo's focus cannot always be on Moutuan, and he received good news just after he got to work.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully raising your reputation to level 4. You will be rewarded with a level 4 passive headhunter card. Please check it yourself."
--slightly--
[Reputation]: Level 4 (100,000/500,000)
--slightly--
Previously, he was just shy of being upgraded to level 4. As soon as the news of the merger between Qingcheng Group and Moutuan was exposed, Zhang Shuo's reputation was finally raised to level 4.
The higher the reputation level, the harder it becomes to upgrade. The reputation value required for the next upgrade directly increases five times.
[Passive headhunting card]: After use, you can independently search for a senior talent based on Germination’s needs
"Use passive headhunting card, starting..."
"Searching..."
"The target is Roger, 32 years old, currently a senior architect of Apple's chip design team..."
Just like the previous passive headhunting card, Zhang Shuo immediately received Roger's detailed information, including what he likes to eat, what his recent plans are, etc.
It's simply a detailed profile of a person.
There is no doubt that Roger is the high-end chip design talent that Maili Group urgently needs.
Although Zhang Shuo has activated Daosui Semiconductor, how to get this new chip design company up and running is not that simple. It requires at least one technical leader.
Roger came at the right time.
The key point is that Roger is still very young, and he is a high-level talent searched through the level 4 passive headhunting card, which indicates that his current ability has not reached its peak and he will have great potential for improvement in the future.
His rank should be no worse than Gu Mingzhang's.
Precisely because he is young, the difficulty of poaching Roger will be lower than that of Gu Mingzhang.
Just as he was thinking about it, Wu Sheyuan knocked on the door and came in, reporting: "Mr. Zhang, I contacted Professor Tang Ou over the weekend. Professor Tang Ou is not very enthusiastic about joining the Fertile Soil Research Institute. He still wants to do research independently."
"Don't be discouraged."
Zhang Shuo, however, became more determined, "The more we understand and have more contacts, we will always be able to find a breakthrough point. Professor Wu, including Mr. Lu, can do some work from it."
After the scandal of the richest man, Bu Ya's reputation became more and more popular outside, and its ability to attract talents also greatly improved, as can be seen from the successful completion of the Hundred Talents Plan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But even so, for some rare and cutting-edge talents, patient public relations are still needed.
"clear!"
Wu Sheyuan was not a person who would give up easily, so he just made a routine announcement.
"By the way, you arrange for someone to go to the beautiful country, and be sure to recruit this person. The condition we can agree to is that he is the general manager and chief architect of Inaho Semiconductor."
Zhang Shuo handed the newly obtained Roger file to Wu Sheyuan.
"good!"
Wu Sheyuan took it calmly, and was already used to the big boss's information channels.
………
the next day.
As soon as Zhang Shuo finished class, counselor Qiu Jiahui came to his door, accompanied by a female student.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Shuo stopped and looked confused.
After the Li Ming incident, Zhang Shuo not only paid little attention to things in his class, but also lost his enthusiasm for Binhai University and tried his best to avoid contact with the school.
"Hello, Meng King, I am Su Beibei, a second-year graduate student. I have a business idea in my hand. I wonder if I am interested in it?" Su Beibei, who was familiar with it, took out a carefully prepared copy.
"Let me consider."
Zhang Shuo did not refuse directly. He was very supportive of college students who had entrepreneurial ideas. However, when he saw the title of the business plan, he immediately showed a strange expression.
"Blood test chip?"
"Yes, my plan is to make the chip into a wearable device. It only requires a few drops of the user's blood to complete more than a dozen physical tests and monitor the user's physical health in real time." Su Beibei was quite excited.
What nonsense!
Others may not know this clearly, but Zhang Shuo knows this stuff very well.
This is not new.
There is a female liar in Silicon Valley who is N times higher than Su Beibei. She claims to have invented a new type of blood testing instrument that can complete more than 200 physical examinations in a short time using only a few drops of blood.
Then he relied on his parents' connections to fool around and attract people to invest in him. The company's valuation was once as high as nine billion U.S. dollars. It was touted by the media and was even dubbed the "female version of Old Joe."
The result soon became apparent.
The idea is correct and beautiful, but with Blue Star's current technological level, it is simply impossible to realize it.
I didn’t expect that Binhai University also had such a female liar.
"I'm sorry, but Mei Ya doesn't invest in medical care." Zhang Shuo glanced at Su Beibei, and finally chose to save some face for her and politely refused.
"Then can you invest in your own name? I know that you always support college students to start their own businesses." Su Beibei was reluctant.
There was even moral kidnapping.
Zhang Shuo's expression became playful, and he no longer showed any mercy, and said calmly: "Mr. Ya does support college students' entrepreneurship, and will come up with specific measures in the future. But your entrepreneurial plan, I'm sorry, in my opinion
A complete scam and not worth investing in at all. Do you understand?"
"you!"
Su Beibei's face turned red, and she subconsciously wanted to act up, but when she met Zhang Shuo's calm gaze, her courage suddenly disappeared like a tide.
"You will regret this!"
In the end, he just reluctantly said harsh words and left angrily.
"Zhang Shuo, I didn't expect this to be the case." Qiu Jiahui stayed where she was in embarrassment.
"Pay attention next time."
Zhang Shuo didn't blame Qiu Jiahui harshly, she just did bad things with good intentions.
"What you just said about supporting college students to start their own businesses, is it true?" Qiu Jiahui still couldn't hold back her curiosity. She is a person who really wants to make some achievements in her position.
If you do well, you will be able to officially stay in school and work in the future.
"certainly."
Zhang Shuo glanced at Qiu Jiahui, "But that's for universities across the country and has nothing to do with Binhai University."
"oh."
Qiu Jiahui's expression was stern.
………
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
On February 27, China announced its TDD spectrum planning plan for the first time, which means that the 4G commercial process has begun to accelerate, and major domestic cities will soon enter the 4G era.
In my impression, by the end of March, the main urban area of Lin'an will achieve full 4G coverage and will become the first city in China to have full 4G coverage, ahead of first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Binhai City.
The wave of mobile Internet has become increasingly unstoppable.
Before the advent of the 4G era, Qingcheng Group merged with Mituan and improved its layout in the local life service track, which can be said to be a brilliant move.
The integration of the two companies has also entered deep water.
On the morning of the 29th, on the eve of the regular strategic meeting, Zhang Shuo met with Pei Weiping and Wang Xin in his office. The main discussion was about the new plan to adjust the organizational structure of Qingcheng Group.
Prior to this, Du Qingqing had gone to business school for further studies.
In order not to affect the work of Qingcheng Group and prevent people from gossiping, at Zhang Shuo's suggestion, Du Qingqing resigned from the position of senior vice president of Qingcheng Group and became the administrative assistant of Sprout Group.
Of course, the latter is just a nominal person, and he will still receive his salary, but will not have to do any work.
In the new division of labor of Qingcheng Group, Pei Weiping, as the president of Qingcheng Group, takes charge of overall affairs, is responsible to the group's board of directors, and reports directly to Zhang Shuo.
As executive vice president, Wang Xin is in charge of all business lines of the group and reports to Pei Weiping.
After the merger with Moutuan, one of the most obvious changes is that Qingcheng Group has added three major businesses: group buying, in-store shopping and reviews, which were not covered by Qingcheng Technology before.
You can't give up just yet.
These three businesses themselves are the greatest value of Moutuan. Wouldn’t it be stupid to throw them away?
In view of the increasingly complex business system of the group, it is no longer possible to simply use a two-level subsidiary structure to handle each business line. Otherwise, it will easily lead to poor communication and create business barriers in the long run.
Therefore.
It is imperative to implement the business unit reform in Qingcheng Group.
In the new organizational structure, the middle and back-end functions such as the technical center, user center, payment center, and functional departments of the Qingcheng Group headquarters are retained, but the front-end business systems are integrated into four major business units.
That is, the new retail division, the catering division, the cultural tourism division and the travel division.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The New Retail Division is responsible for Qingcheng Xiaozhu, Qingcheng Coffee, Qingcheng Milk Tea, Shared Power Bank and other retail-related businesses, and the Catering Business Department is responsible for in-store
, reviews, takeout and other catering-related businesses.
The Cultural Tourism Division is responsible for hotel, tourism, film and other related businesses.
The final travel business department currently only has one business, Qingcheng Bicycle.
Among the heads of the four major business divisions, the general managers of the new retail division and the travel division are both from Qingcheng Group, while the general managers of the catering division and the cultural tourism division are former executives from the mold group.
Strictly speaking, Wang Xin is not a professional manager.
Before founding Moutuan, Wang Xin had already had several entrepreneurial experiences, and they had done pretty well. He had gathered a like-minded and highly effective team around him.
Original time and space.
These people have all grown into the backbone of the mold group.
However, after the capital chain of the mold group was broken, the team members inevitably lost some of them and were poached by the three giants. The rest were basically Wang Xin's diehard loyalists.
The addition of this group of key management personnel will be helpful to improve the management level of Qingcheng Group.
Of course, factional strife is inevitable.
How to coordinate the two teams and avoid internal friction is the responsibility of Pei Weiping, the group president, and does not need to be worried by Zhang Shuo, the big boss.
Zhang Shuo also believes that Pei Weiping's level can manage internal differences well.
For Pei Weiping, the biggest challenge is not to manage differences, but to resolutely implement the values of Germination and Zhang Shuo's will in Qingcheng Group, so as not to go astray.
The Qingcheng Group must not develop into another moldy group.
That is a complete failure.
Because of this, Zhang Shuo followed Lu Kai's suggestion and did not rush to step down as chairman of Qingcheng Group, so that he could supervise Qingcheng Group's development strategy in real time and take charge personally.
This is important.
"Mr. Zhang, Ahli sent someone to ask whether Qingcheng Group will change the business strategy of Qingcheng Xiaozhu after merging with the mold group, and whether it will join the takeout subsidy war. How should I reply?" Pei Weiping asked for instructions.
"What's your opinion?" Zhang Shuo glanced at Wang Xin.
“My suggestion is that Qingcheng Xiaozhu will be removed from Ali-Dianping, Nomi, and Dacong Dianping, and Qingcheng Takeout will also join the subsidy war and seize the opportunity to seize the takeout market.”
Wang Xin also has a clear attitude. He is an aggressive person and is not content with the status quo.
"I disagree."
A hint of deep meaning flashed in Pei Weiping's eyes, "My opinion is that Qingcheng Group should still stick to its previous strategy. Qingcheng Xiaozhu will not choose sides, and Qingcheng Takeout will not provide subsidies."
"Reply as you wish." Zhang Shuo said.
"good!"
Pei Weiping couldn't help but look at Wang Xin's expression. The latter was left hanging in the air, looking embarrassed.
The first time I reported to work, I was given a thumbs-down.
Obviously, if Wang Xin's team wants to fully integrate into Qingcheng, it is not just as simple as personnel adjustments, but also in thinking, action, and agreeing with the values of Qingcheng Group from the bottom of their hearts.
Otherwise, they will part ways one day.
………
At the end of February, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment turned in a profit of one billion, setting a new record and achieving a new achievement, which means that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has officially entered a new era of one billion profits.
We are already halfway to the goal of two billion.
After the time entered March, the first thing Zhang Shuo did was, of course, sign the grant application.
Pay 640 million progress payment to Nokia;
Allocate 500 million R&D special funds to Maili Group and 100 million start-up capital for Daosui Semiconductor;
Allocate 200 million R&D funding to the Fertile Soil Research Institute;
Allocate 500 million project funds to Germination Real Estate.
All added up, the allocation is 1.94 billion, which is exactly the same as last month.
--slightly--
[Level]: Level 9 (6.62 million/8 million)
[Support Fund]: 10 million/day
【Cash】: 7.04 billion
[Loan]: 10.8 billion (bank loan) 500 million (corporate bond)
[Fund]: Chunmiao Fund, Particle Fund
[Company under the name]: Germination Group (Zhang Shuo 47%, Dream Fund 33%, Chunmiao Fund 20%)
Note: Subsidiaries refer to subsidiary companies and are fully consolidated.
Note: Those with * are non-independent subsidiaries, which are equivalent to independent departments and operate in the form of a company.
[Joint venture]: Wujiang Technology (48%)
Note: A joint venture refers to a company that does not have sole control, but can jointly control with other shareholders.
[Associated companies]: Walli Intelligent Manufacturing (35%), Linde New Energy (35%)
Note: Associated companies refer to companies that have no control but have significant influence, and are held by Sprout Investment.
Note: Haode Map's shares are held by Qingcheng Group, so they are not included in the list of associate companies of Sprout Group. Others include holding/joint-stock companies such as Auto.com, Bajie.com, Xiami Music, and Tubatu.
Opening the personal panel, Zhang Shuo noticed new changes.
The system classifies the company in detail. The purpose of this is to facilitate the preparation of the balance sheet and to more clearly display the assets and liabilities of the Sprout Group.
Because foreign investment must be included in asset items.
In the past February, in addition to investing RMB 2 billion to subscribe for 1% of the shares of China Microelectronics, Sprout Group also injected RMB 1 billion into the Particle Fund to invest in the semiconductor industry.
The one-year 200 million corporate bonds issued last year have also matured and been paid as scheduled.
In terms of income, the only profit is one billion turned in by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.
Including this month's allocation, Sprout Group's book liquidity dropped sharply by 3.84 billion, shrinking from over 10 billion to 7 billion.
"You still have to spend money."
Fortunately, this is already the penultimate progress payment of Nokia. After the final payment is paid next month, the pressure on the sprout's cash flow will be reduced a lot.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But it is just a relief.
As long as budding expansion continues, there will always be insufficient funds.
Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is not a money printing machine.
Not to mention the distance, it was decided last month that in order to meet the demand for offices in other places, Sprout Real Estate has already inspected Grade A office buildings in Shanghai, Jiangxia and Rongcheng. By then, it will be a big expense.
Even if you can get a mortgage of 70%, you still need to pay 30% of the down payment.
There are already quite a few.
Previously, Zhang Shuo was still considering whether to allocate a sum of funds to establish a college student entrepreneurship support fund to encourage college students to start their own businesses. Now it seems that this matter will probably have to be postponed a little later.
Don't collapse the capital chain too closely.
At the end of last year, Zhang Shuo had already experienced the tight financial situation, but he didn't want to experience it again.
It's better to be richer in your pocket.
While I was thinking about it, secretary Dai Yutong came in and reported: "Boss, Professor Wu is here."
"Please come in quickly!"
Zhang Shuo quickly got up and went to the door to greet him.
Professor Wu did not come alone. He was accompanied by two people. One was Professor Tang Ou whom he had contacted before, and the other was Lu Qingyun, CEO of Walli Intelligent Manufacturing.
I don’t know how they all came together.
"Professor Tang, I have admired you for a long time!"
Zhang Shuo smiled and shook hands with Tang Ou. Wu Sheyuan was frustrated in the previous contact, but Professor Wu's face was still effective.
"Old Tang still has concerns about whether to join the Fertile Soil Research Institute. Today I am taking him for an on-site inspection to try to dispel his concerns." Professor Wu helped.
"It's not really an inspection."
Tang Ou quickly denied it, "I just admire Professor Tan Yunsong and want to exchange experiences with Professor Tan."
There is still the intention to clear up the relationship.
They are all engaged in artificial intelligence research. Although Tang Ou is famous in Xiangjiang, Tan Yunsong is a super boss who enjoys a high reputation around the world and has a lot of admirers.
"This is easy to handle." Zhang Shuo did not point out Tang Ou's little thoughts and said with a smile: "Professor Tan is at the Fertile Land Research Institute. How about we go directly there later and let Professor Tan come out to receive him?"
