Chapter 317: The cute king is tireless in criticizing others, and the organizational structure of Germination is adjusted again!
"I heard that you and Lu Qi had dinner together before the meeting?"
Rebus talked about another piece of gossip.
"Who did you listen to?"
Zhang Shuo was very vigilant. His meeting with Lu Qi was very secretive, and he did not leak the information to the outside world afterwards, just because he was worried that Lu Qi would encounter unnecessary trouble at Weiruan's place.
"Don't worry about what anyone says. I still have some integrity in this three-acre land in the capital."
Rebus was a little proud.
"Then you must have heard wrong."
Zhang Shuo, however, looked determined, "There is no such thing."
"Pretend, just pretend, someone has recognized you two." But Rebus insisted, with a face full of gossip, and asked cowardly: "Tell me, tell me, when you two meet, you both
What were we talking about? It couldn't be... right?"
Rebus deliberately lowered his voice for the last sentence.
"you guess?"
Zhang Shuo, on the other hand, refused to let go even if he was beaten to death.
"fine."
Faced with Zhang Shuo's lack of luck, Rebus was really at his wits end, but there was a trace of envy deep in his eyes.
He also wants someone as powerful as Lu Qi.
After Lu Qi of the original time and space resigned from Qiandu, Rebus sent an invitation to Lu Qi.
It's a pity that they didn't agree.
Not to mention Rebus's regret, Zhang Shuo also encountered a little trouble.
The host is called Big Brother for a reason. He was humiliated by Zhang Shuo last night. How could he possibly be able to swallow such a sigh of relief? It was inevitable that some connotations would sprout in his speech during the day.
Criticizing the budding diversified development strategy in a roundabout way.
Not only that, they also complained that Mo Ya did not have an international vision and would only stay in China.
There are also some scoundrels and ponyboys who speak in a weird and arrogant way, accusing Zhang Shuo of not respecting his predecessors, being young and energetic, and being arrogant and domineering.
It's all the same old tunes.
But even so, Zhang Shuo was not used to it at all. When it was his turn to speak, he had to fight back when he should.
"Is a diversification strategy good? It depends on the individual."
"Breaking's diversification strategy is based on a rational judgment of future trends, continuous investment in technology research and development, and precise control of its own capital chain."
"At least for now, Sprout is doing pretty well."
Even those in the audience who were hostile or critical of Zhang Shuo had to agree with this.
Zhang Shuo is crazy, but it is also true that the budding cow is crazy.
Have to be convinced!
"But I am opposed to blind diversification. I think that if you have money, you can do whatever you want, and only use simple and crude investment and mergers and acquisitions to assemble a mammoth-looking behemoth, while ignoring the inherent technological research and development."
"I am even more opposed to living by borrowing money, borrowing money like crazy, making snowballs, and spreading the pie."
"Of course this is not advisable."
Zhang Shuo's words obviously made some people in the audience feel very uncomfortable and a bit harsh. Maybe they were hurt, or maybe they were simply dissatisfied with Zhang Shuo's kind of guidance.
Young people are too arrogant.
But Zhang Shuo's words were by no means aimless, but a disguised reminder to the authorities.
It can be seen that the surface is beautiful, but the inside is full of troubles.
“Let’s talk about internationalization strategy.”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhang Shuo's speech was a response to the previous master.
It’s also fun to watch the fun.
"Does the company want to pursue an international strategy? Of course it does."
"But the question is, what kind of internationalization do we need? Is it considered internationalization by introducing overseas investment, or is it considered internationalization by flaunting itself as a global company with business all over the world?"
"This is all too superficial."
"If we really want to calculate it this way, there are countless mobile games under Bluebird Interactive Entertainment that are popular in more than 100 countries around the world, and they have always been in the top ten of each country's game rankings."
"Are we proud? Well, a little bit." Zhang Shuo also relaxed freely.
"Hahaha!!!"
The audience in the audience laughed kindly. In the field of mobile games, Moya does have bragging rights.
Don’t accept it!
"The internationalization I believe should be based on China's local market, come up with high-quality products with originality and technical content, give priority to meeting the needs of domestic users, and then focus on the world."
"At least if the products sold domestically are more expensive than those sold abroad, then what kind of internationalization is that?"
"With this kind of internationalization, consumers will scold you."
"And no matter in any single market in the world, they can not shy away from their origins and openly admit their Chinese ancestry. At the same time, they can gain recognition from overseas markets with their strength."
"This is the real deal!"
"Instead of being a licking dog and deliberately catering to Western values and market rules."
"Respect earned through strength is true respect."
"If you just act as a white glove and spokesperson for international capital, making money from the Chinese people, but still throwing the blame on China, then the so-called internationalization is a joke and a complete shame!"
"well said!!!"
As soon as Zhang Shuo finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause. No matter what he was thinking, at least Zhang Shuo's words made him feel particularly uplifted.
All the officials present also smiled and clapped to show their approval.
Only Big Brother's face turned dark. He was obviously impressed by Zhang Shuo and wanted to refute, but he didn't have the confidence.
Even more angry.
Zhang Shuo's Zhang-style speech was quickly posted online.
Naturally it was another carnival.
Some people say that Zhang Shuo is sensationalizing and deliberately promoting narrow patriotism. He believes that business is business and capital should have no borders. Otherwise, why would it be called a multinational enterprise?
But most young people were still deeply shocked and couldn't help but cheer for Zhang Shuo!
After all, not everyone is a noble.
In particular, the younger generation in China is becoming more and more confident, and naturally it is easier for them to recognize Zhang Shuo's views and regard Zhang Shuo as the idol of the younger generation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because Zhang Shuo said so and did so.
Even though Sprout has reached its current scale, Sprout is still registered in Binhai City, and there is no such thing as overseas registered corporate holdings.
"When it comes to the roots being healthy and the seedlings growing red, it's just the sprouts!!!"
"The cute king is still so strong, I love you, I love you."
"So, don't mess with anyone but King Meng. He really doesn't follow any hidden rules."
"I just like the frankness of Germination!"
If the character of Big Brother hadn't collapsed, then netizens would have had more than just this reaction.
Unknowingly, Zhang Shuo has more and more fans, and his influence as an internet celebrity is getting stronger and stronger. If he opens an account on Bibo, no matter what, he will have to be a super internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans.
It's a pity that Zhang Shuo doesn't play with scarves at all.
Just during this Internet conference, the scumbag CEO solemnly invited Zhang Shuo to conduct a big V certification on the scarf, but Zhang Shuo refused in person.
Why are you going to that cesspit?
Except for this relatively strong speech, Zhang Shuo actually kept a low profile for the rest of the time and basically did not speak to the outside world. Instead, he let senior executives Zhao Xiaohu, Du Ruiwen, and Pei Weiping take the stage.
On the global stage of the Internet Conference, budding voices are getting louder and louder.
This is also the scary thing about sprouting.
………
May 13th, Sunday.
After the Internet Conference, Zhang Shuo did not stay in the capital for long and immediately returned to Binhai City.
"Your speech offended a lot of people."
The second uncle specially called Zhang Shuo to his home.
"If you offend me, offend me. If some people can listen to me, I personally don't care. If you don't bite people if you have too many lice, you will have long been used to being tripped up by others secretly." Zhang Shuo laughed.
"Have you learned how to complain to the organization?"
Tang Yi glared at Zhang Shuo, and then his expression gradually became serious, "There seems to be some unfinished meaning in your speech, can you tell me in detail?"
"You said you won't get slapped, right?"
Zhang Shuo is not really a reckless young man. What he said on the stage was actually just a few words, and he didn't mention anyone by name. Even if it made some people feel uncomfortable, it was just uncomfortable.
It's not like we just want to become enemies.
It can be seen that he still has a sense of proportion and he is not stupid.
"I will tell you everything you know, but it doesn't matter." The second uncle really wanted to chat with Zhang Shuo.
"Then I'll tell you."
Zhang Shuo brought up that topic because he wanted to attract the attention of his second uncle, so he said: "Let me state in advance that the following opinions only represent the opinions of my family."
"Say it quickly!"
The second uncle glared at Zhang Shuo again, he was still trying to show off.
"...ten thousand words are omitted here..."
After hearing this, the second uncle frowned even more tightly, "Is it really as serious as you said?"
"It's hard for me to say this. Without investigation, you have no right to speak, right?" Zhang Shuo also hopes that the government can strengthen supervision in advance and don't wait until the bubble gets big before popping it.
Although the loss can be stopped in time, after all, a lot of losses have been caused and cannot be undone.
"That's the truth."
The second uncle stopped talking anymore. Naturally, he would not make a judgment based on Zhang Shuo's family's words. After he came down, he would definitely ask the relevant personnel to conduct a more detailed investigation and evaluation.
If this is true, then Binhai City can at least give it a try first.
He still has this bit of courage and responsibility.
At the end of the conversation, the second uncle glanced at Zhang Shuo and said with a hint of meaning: "You don't make friends with small circles or form cliques. This kind of behavior is excellent. You must continue to stick to your position and principles."
From an official perspective, why do you like those small circles of businessmen?
It is a remnant of feudalism.
"Then I will become a loner?" Zhang Shuo laughed.
"What are you afraid of when you are alone? As long as you act righteously, we will be your strongest backing."
It's rare for the second uncle to be domineering.
Zhang Shuo's eyes also flashed, and he noticed that the second uncle was talking about us, not me.
What does this mean?
………
The next day, Zhang Shuo appeared in Germination Building.
He was on a business trip for only half a week, and there was a lot of work squeezed in, waiting for his approval. The most important one was the organizational structure adjustment plan for the Sprout Group headquarters proposed by Vice President and Rotating President Jiang Yue.
Of course, this was done with Zhang Shuo’s permission in advance.
In order to celebrate the second anniversary of the establishment of Sprout, it was decided to upgrade some heavyweight departments at the group headquarters.
Including but not limited to upgrading the human resources department to a talent center, the finance department to a financial center, the legal department to a legal center, the audit department to an audit center, the administration department to an administrative center, the information management department to an information center, etc.
.
In addition to the previous operation center, technology center, and data center, the group headquarters will pilot a departmental reform and will assume more responsibilities of strategic planning and approval, and play an overall role in overseeing the overall situation.
What followed was an adjustment in the ranks of department managers, which were divided into six levels: director, deputy director, department general manager, department deputy general manager, department manager senior assistant and department manager assistant.
For the four core departments of talent center, finance center, operation center and technology center, the immediate superior is the director level, for example, the operations director Zhao Mingchuan.
Under it, positions such as deputy director of operations and general manager of the operations department/marketing department can be established as needed.
The sub-level legal center, audit center and data center, plus the investment and mergers and acquisitions department, and the two special departments of Sprout Financial Holdings, are directly subordinate to the deputy director level.
The administrative center, information center, president's office and other departments further down are the department general manager level.
No more eating from the same big pot as before.
In addition to the departmental adjustments at the group headquarters, this organizational structure reform also further clarified the management levels of the budding department and established it as a three-level organizational structure, namely——
Sprout Group, group subsidiary/first-level subsidiary, second-level subsidiary/business unit.
Below the second-level subsidiaries, regional branches or offices can be established according to actual needs, but third-level subsidiaries are not allowed to be established further down.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The purpose is to reduce management levels and implement flat management as much as possible.
In order to adapt to the new organizational structure adjustment, the previous management level was upgraded from the highest M10 to M15 in one go, and a more detailed division was made, namely -
M15: Chairman of Germinal Group
M14: CEO of Germination Group
M13: Vice Chairman of Sprout Group, Rotating President of Sprout Group
M12: Executive Vice President of Sprout Group, Senior Vice President of Sprout Group
M11: Vice President of Sprout Group, President of Group Subsidiary
M10: Director of Sprout Group, executive vice president of group subsidiaries, general manager of first-level subsidiaries
M9: Deputy Director of Sprout Group, Vice President of Group Subsidiary, Executive Deputy General Manager of First-tier Subsidiary
M8: General manager of department/general manager of regional company of Sprout Group, director of group subsidiary, deputy general manager of first-level subsidiary/general manager of business unit
M7: Deputy general manager of the sprout group department, deputy director of the group subsidiary, director of the first-level subsidiary, general manager of the second-level subsidiary
M6: Senior assistant to the department manager of the Sprout Group, general manager of the group subsidiary department, deputy director of the first-level subsidiary, executive deputy general manager of the second-level subsidiary
M5: Assistant to the department manager of the sprout group, deputy general manager of the group subsidiary department, department manager of the first-level subsidiary, deputy general manager of the second-level subsidiary/branch general manager
M4: Assistant department manager of group subsidiaries, deputy department manager of first-level subsidiaries, director of second-level subsidiaries
M3: Assistant to the department manager of the first-level subsidiary, department manager of the second-level subsidiary, vice president/director/office manager of the branch
M2: Deputy manager/assistant manager of secondary subsidiary department, department manager of branch company
M1: Branch department deputy manager/manager assistant/project supervisor
The technical route levels will be adjusted accordingly to the management levels, so we won’t go into details here.
You can see that the higher you go, the harder it is to get promoted.
Even a chosen one like Dai Yutong became Zhang Shuo's administrative secretary as soon as he started working, and was promoted from an ordinary employee to M5 in less than a year after joining the company.
If you want to get promoted again, there is a ceiling.
It's a bad thing to say.
As long as Chen Xiaowan, the director of the President's Office, makes no mistakes, Dai Yutong's career ceiling is to be a deputy director.
Unless they are transferred to a subsidiary company for training.
And even for a human resources director like Wu Sheyuan, although he started at a very high level, it is likely that the starting point is the end point. Going up, even a small step forward, will be extremely difficult.
But there are five more ranks above the director, which is basically a carrot and a trap.
There is no need to think about the sharp two levels of chairman and CEO. With Zhang Shuo's age, he is still not old even if he works for another twenty years. I am afraid that Zhang Shuo will not be able to survive until Zhang Shuo abdicates and makes way for others. He must first survive on his own.
retired.
Really able to compete.
In fact, there are three levels of vice president, senior vice president/executive vice president, and rotating president. Currently, there are only three people: Lu Kai, Jiang Yue, and Gu Mingzhang.
By the way, we also include Lu Qi who is about to join the company.
They are all the best among men.
In addition to the adjustment of the organizational structure, the biggest news within Sprout in the past week is naturally the subscription of 15% of the shares of Automotive Network, which has been discussed in various work groups for a long time.
Unfortunately.
This equity subscription is only open to management, which makes ordinary employees very disappointed.
In order to cover this subscription bonus to as many management members as possible, the Group President Office has issued a clear notice that the subscription will not start until the new rank adjustment is implemented.
This is also one of the reasons why the rank reform was launched in a timely manner.
………
After finishing the work at hand, Zhang Shuo started reading the briefing again.
The merger of Dolphin Travel and Camel Travel is rumored to have entered the substantive stage of operation. The two parties will merge through a share exchange. After the merger, the name will be changed to Dolphin Travel, which is equivalent to the former annexing the latter.
But it is Tengda who is actually behind the scenes.
It is reported that Tenda will hold 25% of the new company's shares through strategic investment and become the largest shareholder of the new company.
Even Scarlet Capital is following behind to drink soup.
The reason is not only to cope with the challenge of Qingcheng Group, but also because Dolphin Travel covets Tengda's traffic, hoping to obtain the financial and traffic support of Tengda's father.
This is also one of the reasons why Ahri and Qiandu did not participate.
It is not accurate to say that Qiandu was not involved at all. As early as June last year, Qiandu reached an in-depth strategic cooperation agreement with Luotu Travel, and Luotu Travel received a strategic investment of US$306 million from Qiandu.
Qiandu has also become the largest institutional shareholder of Camel Travel.
The leader behind the merger of original space dolphin travel and camel travel is actually Qiandu.
It's just that time has changed, and because of Zhang Shuo's butterfly flapping its wings, Tengda became more competitive, and on the contrary, he went beyond a thousand degrees and took charge of this merger in advance.
It’s also really sad.
Of course, Tenda itself has always wanted to expand and strengthen its local lifestyle business. In particular, it is not willing to lag behind the sprouts and wants to give full play to the value of the ICQ secondary entrance.
The two naturally hit it off.
In fact, before strategically investing in New Dolphin Travel, as early as May last year, Tenda also invested in another travel website, Pterodactyl, and held approximately 16% of Pterodactyl's shares.
It can be seen that Tengda has a huge appetite.
What is more embarrassing is that with the merger of Dolphin Travel and Camel Travel, the two largest and second largest travel companies in the industry, and Pterodactyl and Tongcheng, the third and fourth travel companies, the situation suddenly became awkward.
Of course look at it from another angle.
If Ali other than Tengda also wants to enter the hotel and travel circuit, then betting on Pterosaur or Tongcheng will be a very good choice.
In the original time and space, Dolphin Travel invested in Pterosaur and Tongcheng respectively, and later merged with Camel Travel. Later, it also facilitated the merger of Pterodactyl and Tongcheng. It can be said that it is the real boss behind the scenes.
And behind the dolphin trip, it seems that there is always the shadow of Tengda.
In the work briefing reported by Pei Weiping, Wang Xin also suggested that the acquisition of Tongcheng could be considered to accelerate Qingcheng Group's layout in the tourism business.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, this also depends on the financing situation of Qingcheng Group.
In addition to the 5 billion directional capital increase and the 10 billion Series B financing, Qingcheng Group also simultaneously launched a 500 million corporate bond issuance plan, and the communication with Yangcheng seems to be good.
Yangcheng has promised to take the lead in raising 15 to 2 billion bank loans for Qingcheng Group.
Qingcheng Group's funds suddenly became abundant. Even after paying 10 billion in service fees, it still had more than 8 billion in cash on hand. This was the reason why Wang Xin proposed to acquire Tongcheng.
Of course, from another perspective, the local life service track is really a waste of money.
This has not yet reached the money-burning war of taxis and shared bicycles. Capital expenditures are already calculated on a scale of tens of billions. If Germination keeps holding Qingcheng in its arms, the capital chain may not be able to withstand it.
Even if it can resist, I am afraid it will not be able to support its layout in the field of electric vehicles.
It can be seen from this.
Zhang Shuo's "let go" of Qingcheng Group at the right time was indeed a clever move.
Of course, letting go does not mean letting it go. As Qingcheng Group launches Series C and even Series D financing in the future, Suya is likely to lose its absolute controlling interest in Qingcheng Group.
For this reason, Zhang Shuo made two preparations.
First, the 20% stake in Haode Map previously obtained from Ali was not injected into Qingcheng Group, but was held on behalf of Sprout Investment as a trump card to control Qingcheng Group.
in addition.
Zhang Shuo also plans to let Fenglei Fund participate in Qingcheng Group's Series B financing process in due course and hold a portion of Qingcheng shares, which may be able to turn things around in the future.
besides.
Under Lu Kai's suggestion, Qingcheng Group will also use its trump card during the B-round financing and launch the AB share system in due course.
The so-called AB share system is essentially the same share with different rights. The shares are set into two sequences, A and B. Each A share has 1 voting right, and each B share has 10 voting rights.
even more.
A shares can be issued to ordinary investors.
For example, Jingdong adopts the AB share system. The investors given by Brother Dong are all A shares and only have twice the voting rights. However, he and the management hold the company's B shares, which have 20 times the voting rights.
Therefore, the control of Jingdong is firmly in Brother Dong's hands.
These back-up players can basically guarantee that even if the Sprout Group's shareholding ratio in Qingcheng Group is eventually diluted to 40%, or even lower, it will still be able to firmly control Qingcheng Group.
Not so much as to say.
After multiple rounds of financing, the values of Qingcheng Group were distorted, tied up by capital, and completely out of Zhang Shuo's control.
That's it!
Zhang Shuo can accept that he no longer controls Qingcheng Group, but he absolutely cannot accept that Qingcheng will become the next bad guy.
