"Mr. Zhang, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, Daosui Semiconductor and Qingyun Data will all move out of Binhai City. So what will the budding industrial park of Nuo Da be used for in the future?"
While chatting, Lu Qi couldn't help but talk about work.
During this headquarters relocation, two of the three subsidiaries he was in charge of were to be relocated, leaving only the core Qinghe Technology, hence the doubt.
Assisting Qingniao Interactive Entertainment and Qingyun Data to relocate their headquarters will also be Lu Qi's first hurdle after joining the company.
"Sprouting Industrial Park."
Zhang Shuo held the wine glass and looked into the distance, and said with a smile: "Since it is called an industrial park, it is not a simple place where company headquarters are piled up, but has a more systematic industrial planning."
"Simply put, the industrial park will be the brain of the group, an incubation ground and experimental field for new technologies. Cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and autonomous driving will all be incubated and practiced in industrialization."
"I hope to build the industrial park into a new model for future cities."
Research and development.
It will always be a budding soul.
"this……"
Lu Qi's heart was filled with excitement when he heard this, and he laughed at himself: "It seems that my situation is going to be improved even more."
"Let's work together!"
Zhang Shuo smiled and raised his glass, and the two of them drank it all without saying anything.
At the end of the banquet, Zhang Shuo asked Dai Yutong to help take a group photo of him and the senior executives. Naturally, he was standing in the C position, with the two rotating presidents Lu Kai and Lu Qi on the left and right.
The banquet is over.
Zhang Shuo then posted the group photo to Moments, announcing in disguise that Lu Qi had joined the sprout family.
As expected, it received many likes and replies.
Rebus: "Okay, you did it quickly enough, congratulations, congratulations!"
I had vaguely guessed it before in the capital, but now it is confirmed that it is inevitably a bit sour.
As an old man who has worked hard in the Internet industry, Rebus had already gathered a group of senior executives around him when he founded Xiaomi, which also laid a solid foundation for Xiaomi's subsequent development.
But like Lu Qi, there is no one like Xiaomi.
How can you not be envious?
Of course, with Xiaomi's current size, she can't fit a big player like Lu Qi.
The temple is too small!
Even in the original time and space, didn’t Lu Qi not go to Xiaomi?
Uncle: "The sky courtyard is quite nice. Can you visit it next time you have a chance?"
But he wanted to take the opportunity to connect with Zhang Shuo.
In the capital, he introduced Zhang Shuo to Big Brother, which resulted in a very unpleasant incident. The uncle felt quite sorry for it, and did not want to alienate Zhang Shuo because of this.
Second Master: “Congratulations!!”
Seeing that the sprout is flourishing and high-level talents are constantly joining the company, the second master is actually quite sad.
Lu Qi!
Tengda also wants talents of this level.
Especially as the struggle between Lu Jian and Renyu becomes more and more intense, the second master sometimes feels tired and considers whether to introduce new executives to balance the rights between Lu Jian and Renyu.
Third Master: "Isn't that right? You even defeated a big player like Lu Qi, that's amazing!!!"
At this time, the Third Master probably didn't know that Mo Ya had cut off his future CEO.
Although Lu Qi from the original time and space only stayed at Qiandu for less than two years, he carried out drastic reforms at Qiandu, cutting off many non-core businesses and rebuilding new businesses with artificial intelligence as the core.
It was like going to an emergency room for Qiandu.
Although it failed to revive Qiandu from the ashes, it stopped Qiandu's decline and saved Qiandu's life. During Lu Qi's tenure at Qiandu, Qiandu's stock price increased by nearly 60%.
After Lu Qi announced his resignation from Qiandu, Qiandu’s stock price immediately plummeted. In just three days, its market value evaporated by US$14 billion, making it also known as the most expensive resignation in history.
This shows how important a senior talent is to an enterprise.
Other acquaintances such as Mr. Ren, Wang Tao, and Professor Wu also liked it one after another, which was very lively.
Unknowingly, Zhang Shuo's circle of friends has become a gathering place for big guys. If this spreads to the Internet, it will definitely become the hottest news of the day and be talked about by the masses.
Fortunately, non-friends cannot see each other's comments.
Otherwise, friends like Zheng Zhebin would probably tremble when they see so many big bosses leaving messages.
………
This is also true.
Although it was still the weekend the next day, the news about Lu Qi joining Sprout spread on the Internet.
Many media took the opportunity to popularize Lu Qi's glorious resume to prove how breaking news it was that Lu Qi suddenly resigned from Weiruan and joined Buya.
This is definitely the biggest personnel change in the Internet circle this year!
"Awesome!!!"
"Known: Weiruan Executive Vice President>Mrudge Vice President, conclusion: Weiruan "No, Lu Qi is still the rotating president of Sprout."
"What is the position of rotating president? Why haven't I heard of it before? Can anyone explain it to me?"
"About the same as the president, but the position is taken in turns. He should be following the example of Warwick."
"The cute king is still awesome. He is only twenty-five years old, and he has gathered such a large number of talented people under his command, and they all take care of them. Compared to myself, I suddenly feel like a waste."
"Be more confident upstairs and get rid of your feelings."
"Every era has geniuses born out of nowhere. We, mortals, should not underestimate ourselves."
"If God had not given birth to my cute king, eternity would have been like a long night, ugh!!!"
"Cute King: I feel like I'm being understood..."
Anyway, Lu Qi's joining has invisibly added a layer of dazzling aura to Mo Ya, taking Mo Ya's godhood to a small level.
Some people have already privately ranked Sprout with the Big Three.
perhaps.
This is the world of the boss.
………
Monday, May 28th.
As Qinghe Technology handed over the 3 billion profit from the transfer of AutoNet shares to the group's financial center, a rare system prompt sounded in Zhang Shuo's head.
"Congratulations to the host for achieving a profit of 50 billion, and a special reward of 7.2 billion in subsidies."
"Your personal account has arrived - 7.2 billion!"
…
"The achievement of 50 billion has been achieved so quickly."
Zhang Shuo was really in a daze. In his mind, the achievement of reaching tens of billions was more than half a year ago. At that time, he thought that the next stage would be a profit of hundreds of billions.
Unexpectedly, the system was quite conscientious and chose an intermediate value.
But even a profit of 50 billion is still a very remarkable achievement.
After careful calculation, it took nearly a year and a half for Germination to achieve a profit of 10 billion. It could achieve a profit of 50 billion, but it only took more than half a year.
It’s truly terrifying!
This also proves that the further you go, the easier it is to make money.
It's like a snowball.
Taking Tenda as an example, it took nearly ten years from its listing in 2004 to its market value exceeding 1 trillion; but it only took 31 months for its market value to break through from 1 trillion to 2 trillion.
From 2 trillion to 3 trillion, it only took 11 months.
The same will be true for the future sprouts. As long as this rapid and high-growth trend is maintained, the valuation will continue to double, and it won't be long before it breaks through the trillion mark.
The same goes for profits.
In the past six months or so, in addition to the more than 10 billion in direct profits brought by the game, 12 billion was obtained from selling 71 Assistant and Motu Xiuxiu, and 13 billion was obtained from Alila in service fees.
These two large transactions alone generated a revenue of 25 billion.
Including the transfer of shares in Auto.com, another three billion yuan was made in one go.
According to this development trend, it is estimated that it will be very easy to break through the profit mark of 100 billion in the future, and it may be achieved before the end of this year.
Of course it is not without its hidden dangers.
The biggest shortcoming is that in the entire budding system, only Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment can generate profits continuously and stably. The other profits coming in are more like unexpected surprises.
Uncountable.
After reaching the 50 billion achievement, Zhang Shuo also figured out the rules of the proportion of personal funds rewarded by the system - the further you go, the lower the proportion.
One-half of the million profit.
Ten million profits, one-third commission.
One-quarter of the profit margin of 100 million.
…
By analogy, when the profit reaches 50 billion, the commission will be one-seventh.
"Satisfied!"
To be honest, Zhang Shuo actually has no idea about the growth of personal wealth.
How much can he spend on his own?
The 100 million pocket money that was intercepted last time was basically not used except for buying a vacation villa in Meiya. After all, Zhang Shuo still earns an annual salary of tens of millions.
Including the year-end bonus, personal expenses alone are more than enough.
No wonder.
The original time and space master went to Versailles and said that he was not interested in money and even handed over his salary card.
This is both true and false.
The so-called uncle is not interested in money, just that he is not interested in personal consumption, but he is probably quite interested in the growth of family wealth and the power, honor, praise and other derivatives that wealth brings.
Who really thinks that money is too much?
After all, money, unlike anything else, can be passed down from generation to generation.
It’s no wonder that Western countries emphasize the sanctity of private property. It seems that everyone is equal, which is very fair, but in essence, it is to protect the wealth of vested interests that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Poor people may have the opportunity to become rich, but rich people will always remain rich.
this is the truth.
Let’s talk about the 7.2 billion funds awarded this time. In addition to buying coins, Zhang Shuo will still inject most of the remaining funds into Fenglei Fund to supplement the investment of Fenglei Fund.
Even buying coins, with the Overseas Dream Fund, has actually become dispensable.
On the contrary, with this capital, Fenglei Fund can participate in Qingcheng Group's Series B financing, otherwise it will not even reach the investment threshold.
You can also flex your muscles in other investment fields.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Qi knocked on the door and came in.
"sit!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Shuo smiled and poured a cup of tea for Lu Qi, who took it respectfully.
"How do you feel about your first day at work?"
"Very good." After a brief exchange of greetings, Lu Qi quickly got down to business, "Mr. Zhang, can you slightly adjust the duty schedule of the rotating president?"
"How do you want to adjust it?"
Zhang Shuo did not expect that Lu Qi's first suggestion was related to the rotating president system.
"The current starting time point is postponed from January 1 to March 1, that is, March 1 to August 31 is the first half, September 1 to February 28 is the second half, and so on.
." Lu Qi said.
"What's the purpose of doing this?"
"The plan for the year begins with spring, but in China, New Year's Day is not the beginning of the year's work, but the end of the Spring Festival holiday."
Lu Qi really thought it through.
"If the handover is on January 1st, it is already the end of the year, and it will be the Spring Festival soon. It is inevitable that we will be in a hurry, which is not in line with the cyclical rules of the group's operations."
"That makes sense."
Zhang Shuo hadn't thought about this before. Just thinking that New Year's Day would be easier to remember would be a mistake based on experience. "It's just that in this way, it will be your turn to be on duty during the Spring Festival every year."
According to the previous arrangement, Lu Kai's term as rotating president should end on June 30 and be succeeded by Lu Qi.
This is now changed.
Not only will Lu Qi take over as rotating president two months late, but he will also have to go through the Spring Festival holiday every year.
"it does not matter."
Lu Qi did not resist working overtime, "I have just arrived and am not very familiar with the group's situation. I need two months of internship, so I have to let Mr. Lu suffer for two more months."
"Okay, I agree."
Lu Qi is really attentive and considers every aspect thoroughly.
"Have you read the information about the Search Laboratory under the Fertile Soil Research Institute? How do you feel about it?" Zhang Shuo knew very well that Lu Qi was a master in the search field and could not let this skill go to waste.
Originally, I was thinking of poaching people from Qiandu and Fox Group, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.
"To be honest, it's not very good."
Lu Qi is an upright boy, "Of course, if it's just for searching on the site, it's barely enough."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are actually many places where search technology is used in the sprout system, such as Weixin, Qingcheng APP, Tiantian Toutiao, Pangda Live, Feixun, and Frog Browsing
All types of apps, including browsers, use on-site search technology.
Including Qingyun system, search is one of the core technologies.
"How about you personally lead this laboratory? With the wave of mobile Internet, search technology must also keep pace with the times, such as image recognition search, language search, scan search, smart search, etc.
It's a new topic that needs to be solved." Zhang Shuo took advantage of the situation and dug N holes for Lu Qi.
"Can."
Lu Qi was not afraid of the challenge, and was even more amazed by Zhang Shuo's ability to predict new search patterns in the future.
Before joining Sprout, Lu Qi also got to know Zhang Shuo in detail. In addition to being the youngest entrepreneur, Zhang Shuo’s most eye-catching label is his insight into the development trend of the mobile Internet.
Looking now, this is indeed not a lie, Zhang Shuo really understands!!!
"These new search models you mentioned are actually inseparable from the development of artificial intelligence technology. It is not so much a breakthrough in search technology as it is a breakthrough in artificial intelligence technology." Lu Qi added with a smile.
"That's the second point I want to talk to you about."
Zhang Shuo seemed to have an insight into everything, "You also know that the group has invested a lot in artificial intelligence. In addition to its headquarters, it has also set up laboratories in Xiangjiang and other places, and also invested in some start-ups in the field of artificial intelligence.
.There is no upper limit for the group’s investment in artificial intelligence research and development.”
"yes."
This was also a point that shocked Lu Qi.
Even his old employer, Weiruan, has not invested as much in artificial intelligence as Sprout.
This is evident from this.
I just don’t know what Zhang Shuo wants to talk to him about. Is it to ask him to join the research and development in the field of artificial intelligence?
To be honest, it was a bit scary.
It’s not that Lu Qi is not familiar with artificial intelligence, but Fertile Land Research Institute has a top industry expert like Tan Yunsong sitting in charge, so what’s wrong with him?
"This is what I think. You have a deep understanding of artificial intelligence technology and management. You are also the vice president in charge of the Internet business of the group. You just play a connecting role. One end is connected to the laboratories under the Fertile Land Research Institute, and the other end is connected to various departments.
What do you think of the specific business of the large subsidiary?"
For any technology, from laboratory to commercial use, there are many obstacles to overcome.
The previous layout of Buya in the field of artificial intelligence only focused on the laboratory and applied both ends, missing a connecting link in the middle. The arrival of Lu Qi perfectly made up for this link.
"no problem!"
Lu Qi also happily agreed, this was what he was interested in.
Obviously, as a technical master who understands technology and engages in R&D, even if Lu Qi's position is vice president and rotating president, in addition to managing business, he also has to lead the team in R&D.
In a sense.
Leading the team in research and development is his first priority.
The first conversation between the two was obviously quite pleasant. They quickly reached a consensus and smoothed out Lu Qi's work direction and priorities for the long term in the future.
This surprised Lu Qi.
Obviously, before this conversation, Zhang Shuo, as the big boss, was not really idle, but had a very in-depth understanding of him, so that he could clarify his division of labor in the first conversation.
This kind of lifting is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The last trace of contempt for Zhang Shuo deep in his heart disappeared immediately.
Don't dare to neglect again.
Although Zhang Shuo is young, he is truly a "wily and cunning" person. He sees problems very clearly and has very clear plans for the group's future development strategy, and he also understands technology.
It's definitely not easy to fool.
It's no wonder that big names like Lu Kai, Gu Mingzhang and others behaved so obediently in front of Zhang Shuo.
It doesn’t matter if I don’t accept it.
………
Zhang Shuo didn't know Lu Qi's little thoughts.
After get off work, he returned to Xili Building and enjoyed Chen Lu's comprehensive housekeeping services. Zhang Shuo said happily: "In two days, I will inject another 7 billion into the Fenglei Fund. Remember to prepare the documents."
"Ah, ah? Okay."
Chen Lu was busy cleaning the glass, and she finally lost her breath. Why did the words of a huge amount of seven billion dollars in Zhang Shuo's mouth sound like throwing away hundreds of pocket coins?
How many women can stand this kind of humiliation?
Chen Lu had nothing to do in return, she could only work harder and use all her skills.
“After receiving this funding, remember to participate in Qingcheng Group’s Series B financing.”
Zhang Shuo instructed.
"Do I need to disclose the relationship between Fenglei Fund and you?"
Being in the investment banking circle, Chen Lu certainly knew that Qingcheng Group's Series B financing was the most lively event in the venture capital circle in recent times. Many investment institutions were eagerly waiting for it and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
Among these giants, Fenglei Capital can only be regarded as a small fish and shrimp.
"You want to go through the back door?"
Zhang Shuo had a strange expression and slapped him hard.
"Can, is it okay?"
There was a rare hint of provocation in Chen Lu's eyebrows, which was really unbearable.
"There is no need to go through the back door. As long as you sign up, I will naturally receive the list. When the time comes, just add the Fenglei Fund."
At least for now, Zhang Shuo does not want to expose his relationship with Fenglei Fund.
"Isn't it better to go through the back door?" Chen Lu was still provoking.
"This is what you said."
No matter how rude Zhang Shuo was, his anger level was instantly filled up and his combat power was off the charts.
………
Fast forward to Friday.
Today is Children's Day. Zhang Shuo did not go to work in the company. Instead, as usual, he went to Xingguang Welfare Home with gifts to celebrate Children's Day with the children.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into Zhu Yuhan.
"Why are you here too?"
Zhang Shuo was very vigilant, thinking that Zhu Yuhan was still obsessed with Xiaobei and Dong Ziyi.
"Why can't I come?"
Zhu Yuhan rolled her eyes at Zhang Shuo, "You don't allow me to adopt them, so why don't you come and see them?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay, I misunderstood."
Facing this bitch like Zhu Yuhan, Zhang Shuo couldn't really get angry. This bitch was crazy, but she was still very kind-hearted. She could barely be considered one of his few friends.
"How's business going?"
"Absolutely so." Zhu Yuhan glanced at Zhang Shuo with a strange expression, "Are the yoga pants you mentioned really that popular? The actual sales volume is not that great."
"Then it must be that you didn't do your marketing well."
"How to say?"
Zhu Yuhan became interested in doing business, and she was serious about it.
"To put it bluntly, yoga pants are not just a pair of simple pants, but a lifestyle that looks very healthy and stylish, integrating multiple elements such as sports, fashion, and sexiness. If you want yoga pants to sell well,
You have to learn to look for, or even create topics artificially. Find more support, be beautiful, have a good figure, wear yoga pants and go to the gym to check in and take pictures, and then post it on WeChat Moments and keep it to make it popular."
As someone who has been there, Zhang Shuo knows how to make money from girls.
"And isn't live broadcasting very popular these days? You can also sponsor some female anchors and let them wear yoga pants to show off their figures in the live broadcast room, dance and so on, and that won't make all the nerds get nosebleeds with excitement?"
"You seem to understand very well?"
The look in Zhu Yuhan's eyes at Zhang Shuo seemed to be getting worse and worse.
"Ahem, that's what I'm saying. It's up to you whether you want to or not."
Zhang Shuo no longer bothered to care about this girl, so he walked into the orphanage and played with the children all day long. This was not only his commitment to the Starlight Orphanage, but also the children were purifying his soul.
Love is inherently mutual, no one gives charity to anyone else.
………
Monday, June 4th.
With the beginning of a new month, Zhang Shuo signs and approves new grant applications as usual.
Another big pile.
Allocate 800 million R&D special funds to Maili Group;
Allocate 500 million R&D funding to the Fertile Soil Research Institute;
Allocate 200 million R&D funding to Mango Automobile;
Allocate 200 million R&D funding to Daosui Semiconductor;
Allocate 700 million project funds to Germinal Real Estate, including 100 million special construction funds for the southern Sichuan data center.
The total sum is 2.4 billion in special allocations, which is the same as last month.
Similarly, the main income in May was the $3 billion from Auto.com, the $1 billion loan from the Dream Fund, and the $1.35 billion profit handed over by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.
In addition, there is also 100 million overseas agency fees for "Forget the Immortal".
In terms of expenditures, in addition to monthly allocations, there are also acquisitions related to Mango Cars costing 4.5 billion, and a capital increase of 5 billion for Qingcheng Group, with 3.66 billion paid in proportion to the shareholding.
On the contrary, the 10 billion service fee promised by Qingcheng Group has not yet been completed due to the Series B financing.
Still in arrears to this day.
It can be said that "losing his wife and losing his troops"!
In May, Germination also repaid 650 million bank mortgage loans and 500 million low-interest loans from the Youth Entrepreneurship Fund, reducing the bank loan limit by 1.15 billion.
And because of the new overseas loans of 6.4 billion, the overall asset-liability ratio is still rising.
But without this temporary overseas loan, the funds in Sprout's account have dried up, and they won't even be able to survive this month.
It is not difficult to understand why Zhang Shuo insists on charging service fees from Qingcheng Group.
