Chapter 333 The rise of the national tide? Hundreds of billions of funding support plan!
In the conference room, the discussion about Pin Xixi continued.
"Ahem, Mr. Zhang, based on my understanding of Shunfeng, it is possible to reach a strategic cooperation with Shunfeng, but it is difficult to invest in Shunfeng." Lu Kai interrupted Zhang Shuo's delusion.
It has been almost 20 years since Shunfeng was established. During this period, countless investment institutions have approached Shunfeng and wanted to invest in Shunfeng, but they were all declined by Shunfeng's founders or simply avoided.
When Lu Kai was still working in the Thief Saint Group, he also encountered a wall with Shunfeng.
"It all depends on people!"
Zhang Shuo holds a different view. As far as he knows, there has always been a tailwind of oil and salt. In 2013, Yuanshikong suddenly launched its first round of financing, sold 25% of its shares, and introduced three new shareholders.
Of course, these three shareholders all have Taotian backgrounds, including Zhongxin and Zhaoshang.
At that time, the outside world was speculating that Shunfeng's abnormal financing actions were, firstly, due to intensifying competition in the express delivery industry and Shunfeng urgently needed funds to expand its business, and secondly, to prepare for listing.
Previously, the founder of Shunfeng had always said that Shunfeng would never go public, but later on it became really popular.
"Okay, I'll look for an opportunity to test Shunfeng's tone."
If someone else had said this, Lu Kai would definitely not believe it, but if it came from the big boss, he would have to be very alert, and he would already believe it.
In my impression, Zhang Shuo has always been aimless.
"Mr. Zhang, if Pinxixi goes online for testing, which city should you choose?"
Operation Director Zhao Mingchuan raised another issue. Since it is an internal test, it cannot be released to the national market at once. Instead, a certain limited region is selected for testing.
"What's the opinion of the operation center?" Zhang Shuo was not in a hurry to express his position.
"Because Pinxixi's core target users are young people in third-, fourth- and fifth-tier cities, the initial goal of the operation center is to select a representative third-tier city."
"How is Jiangcheng?"
Zhang Shuo's mind moved slightly and he thought of his hometown, Jiangcheng.
"Jiangcheng's development is pretty good among third-tier cities. It's pretty good."
"Then settle in Jiangcheng."
Zhang Shuo was also decisive and said with a smile: "Let me state it in advance, although Jiangcheng is my hometown, the people in my hometown should give me some face, but there are advantages and disadvantages. If the people in Jiangcheng buy pirated products from Pinxixi, inferior products
Or if the product does not match the description, it will also be scolded."
It's equivalent to saying.
Zhang Shuo used his reputation in his hometown and made a shocking bet.
"clear!"
Zhao Mingchuan was under a lot of pressure. He hesitated just now, which was actually also due to this factor.
If this is screwed up, wouldn't he become a sinner?
Zhang Shuo, however, continued to increase his efforts, "Since we are going to test it in Jiangcheng, should we invest in building a logistics hub in Jiangcheng? We can send someone to investigate."
"good."
Zhao Mingchuan responded calmly and took full responsibility for Pinxixi’s preliminary operations.
"Speaking of e-commerce business, I have another suggestion." Lu Kai interrupted at the right time.
"What advice?"
"Aren't there a lot of Weixin businessmen on Weixin who do business through Moments? In order to manage this business, Qinghe Technology Weixin Business Department has also set up an independent Weixin department. Is it possible to consider dividing this area of business?
Transfer it to the newly activated Pinxixi e-commerce company for centralized management?" Lu Kai suggested.
Although Pinxixi is also an app incubated within the sprout group, it did not follow the previous practice and allocate it to Qinghe Technology. Instead, it established a first-level subsidiary "Binhai City Pinxixi E-commerce Co., Ltd."
The registered capital is 100 million, and the legal representative is Du Qingqing.
This not only illustrates the importance that Sprout Group attaches to e-commerce business, but also confirms that Zhang Shuo's so-called "preference" for Qinghe Technology is not unlimited. Qinghe Technology mainly undertakes Internet business at the application level.
The short video business in the future should also operate independently.
"Can."
Zhang Shuo glanced at Lu Kai and nodded silently.
As Weixin breaks out of the industry, Qinghe Technology's position in the budding market has also skyrocketed. Almost all the group's Internet-related businesses will be related to Weixin.
This led to the rapid expansion of the authority of the Weixin Business Department, and more and more departments were established.
Lu Kai's move was certainly out of the need to integrate the group's internal business lines, but wasn't it because he wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the power of the Weixin Division?
As for whether there is any intention to compete with Lu Qi, that is not known.
………
It's the weekend in a blink of an eye.
As for the online test of Pinxixi, we are still making intensive preparations internally.
At the same time, the major events set at the regular strategic meeting last month are also progressing in an orderly manner. Under the leadership of Jiang Yue, the Supervision Department of Germination Group was officially established.
The first thing the Supervision Department did after it was established was to hand over the previously identified employees suspected of violating the law to the Binhai Judiciary, thus starting the first round of internal rectification.
The news quickly spread online.
"Let me go, Mo Ya is really ruthless. If you disagree, you will be sent to jail."
"It definitely lacks a bit of human touch."
"That is, even if you make a mistake, you can just recover the proceeds internally. There is no need to do this, right?"
"I originally wanted to apply for the autumn recruitment, but now I am hesitant..."
"One second I call you a brother, and the next second I send you to prison. This is a real punishment."
Netizens still sympathize with the weak.
But there are also those who hold objections, "Are all the Madonnas upstairs? If you break the law, you will be punished by the law. Isn't that natural? To say let it go is simply ignorance."
"According to legal provisions, Chinese citizens are obliged to proactively cooperate with judicial investigations if they discover clues about illegal activities. How about internal handling? It's really ignorant."
"Any fool can see that this is Mo Ya doing self-purification. I wonder what there is to complain about?"
"It is a good thing to sympathize with the weak. The key point is that these criminals cannot be considered weak at all. They are not satisfied with their high salary and engage in corruption and perversion of the law. They are simply greedy and the snake swallows the elephant."
"The cute king is still very strong, give it a thumbs up!"
"What if that's not the case? As the saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers, and justice does not control wealth. At such a young age, the Meng King can control a behemoth like Moe Ya. Is there really a Meng King who is a docile little white mouse?"
"Cute King: Wow, I'm so fierce!!!!"
"The one who said he didn't want to apply for the job, maybe he was feeling guilty, right?"
"It's just a way of putting money on his face. It's up to him to decide whether Ren Meiya wants him or not."
"That's right. Although school hasn't started yet, many classmates around me are already preparing to apply for jobs at Moya. If they try to take advantage of the summer vacation to intern at Moya, it would be really troublesome."
"I'm not stupid. In terms of structure and treatment, Na Yaya is definitely the number one in the industry. How can I not be involved?"
The good reputation that has been established over a long period of time has come into play at a critical moment. Except for a few saints, online public opinion is generally positive towards Moya.
As for colleagues in the industry, they will not make ignorant complaints.
Who hasn’t had some trouble?
The industry's biggest reaction was to accept all the blacklists announced by Mei Ya, enter them into the HR system, and blacklist these people as well.
No company likes unruly people.
………
Tang Lao Xiaoyuan.
If there is nothing else to do on weekends, Zhang Shuo will usually go to Mr. Tang's place to sit for a while. He doesn't pay much attention to the public opinion on the Internet. Everything is as expected.
On the contrary, it was the second uncle who took the initiative to mention this matter and said with a smile: "Are you learning from the official?"
"That's a must. Always follow the flag."
"The state of mind is good."
Tang Yi smiled and said, "Would you like me to teach you some tips on being an inspector?"
"That's good."
Zhang Shuo was really not polite, and humbly asked his second uncle for advice on professional issues such as how to supervise, how to employ people, how to formulate systems, how to ensure the smooth operation of the supervision system, etc.
In this regard, my second uncle is definitely the authority.
Tang Yi was not stingy either. He patiently answered the questions raised by Zhang Shuo one by one, and even discussed the specific situation of Germination with Zhang Shuo.
The two chatted very speculatively.
If Binhai City officials saw this scene, they would be drooling with envy.
Who has the opportunity to listen like this?
The two of them chatted for an hour.
Tang Yi was still unfinished, and was concerned about the newly expanded e-commerce business of Sui Ya, and said doubtfully: "The e-commerce market has become saturated, right? Is there any chance that Sui Ya will end at this time? Or should we say that Sui Ya really has to rely on Wei?
Xin’s traffic portal, we have to do everything to become the next Tengda?”
Even in Binhai City, some of Tengda's practices are not very recognized.
"Second uncle, you are quite well informed."
Zhang Shuo was very surprised. Pinxixi’s internal testing was still being prepared, and his second uncle knew about it.
"What news about Mei Ya can you hide from me?" Tang Yi would never tell Zhang Shuo. He would receive any changes in registration information related to Mei Ya as soon as possible.
That would make it appear that he cares too much about Germination.
"Yes Yes Yes."
Zhang Shuo didn't want to be serious with his second uncle, so he explained: "It's not that Su Ya's appetite is too big, but that Pin Xixi's positioning is different from that of current e-commerce companies."
"Oh, what's the difference? Tell me."
Tang Yi was immediately interested. He knew that Zhang Shuo usually liked not to take the usual path.
"How should I put it? Pinxixi is not so much an ordinary e-commerce platform as it is a booster, or connector, of consumption internal circulation."
Zhang Shuo explained his positioning towards Pin Xixi to his second uncle in detail.
"What kind of statement is this?"
Even with Tang Yi's wisdom, he was a little confused when he heard it.
"Let's put it this way, people say that China is the world's factory. The name sounds good, but in fact, all the money earned is hard-earned money. It is a meager profit earned at the expense of the environment and squeezing the labor force."
"Of course I'm not saying this is wrong."
"If you want to gain primitive accumulation and build a fortune from scratch, you have to pay some price. This is understandable, and it has indeed achieved world-renowned achievements."
"The problem now is that China cannot always be the world's factory."
"go on."
Tang Yi showed great patience.
"This has two meanings. First, we will actively seek industrial upgrading and extend to both ends of the industrial chain; second, mid- and low-end manufacturing industries are destined to move to areas with low production costs."
This is not based on the will of any one person or group.
"In the process of such a big change, will there be a problem that we have not completed industrial upgrading ourselves? Due to multiple factors such as land prices, labor force, raw materials, environmental protection, etc., the mid- to low-end manufacturing industry has taken a step ahead.
Have Annan, Tianzhu and other places been moved first?" Zhang Shuo's eyes were burning.
"Your question is a bit broad."
Although what Zhang Shuo said was somewhat contradictory, Tang Yi showed great patience.
"But you can't deny that there is such a possibility." Zhang Shuo said.
"It is possible. As you always like to say, capital is profit-seeking. We cannot expect capital, especially international capital and private capital, to have any overall view."
Of course, Tang Yi didn't think about this issue at all.
"In response to this possible potential crisis, the official response is to start internal circulation construction at the appropriate time in the future and strive to explore China's own consumption potential, not only to sell but also to buy."
“!!!!”
Now it was Zhang Shuo's turn to be surprised. Unexpectedly, the concept of internal circulation had already been brewing internally at this time. In terms of foresight, strategizing, and taking precautions, Huaxia was truly unique in the world.
Absolutely amazing!
"Pin Xixi's positioning actually coincides with what you, my second uncle, said."
Zhang Shuo was also smart and followed the second uncle's topic.
"A very important point of internal circulation is to get rid of the shackles of the world's factory and no longer simply engage in OEM, but to cultivate a large number of national fashion brands to compete head-on with those foreign brands. Why are products of similar quality
, just because the brands are different, why sell them at two different prices?”
There is no reason to continue to let foreign brands pluck wool so easily.
At least what Zhang Shuo knows is that in the field of clothing, many so-called big brands are OEMed by domestic factories from raw materials to production, and then put a label on them to become high-end.
What's going on?
The most disgusting thing is that after these foreign brands have made most of the profits from China, they still don't appreciate it, and they still criticize China, showing their utmost arrogance.
It seems that it has secured Chinese customers.
Why?
In the past, it was because of the "developed, high-end, fashionable" impression deliberately created by the West, which then formed intangible brand value and poured it into specific products, thereby making the products price premium.
The most typical one is Gaul's luxury goods.
Under the long-term cultural erosion and marketing, Gaul has almost become synonymous with elegance, romance, and fashion. It has become one of the global art palaces and has planted an "inherent knowledge" in the hearts of global customers——
Gaul = high end!
Then connect these inherent cognitions with Gaul luxury goods, transform the intangible cognitions into real brand value, and then capture huge commercial profits.
This is why, after Notre Dame de Paris burned down, the luxury goods groups in Gaul donated generously and had to repair it in the shortest possible time, in order to maintain the style of their brand.
Otherwise it won't be valuable.
"You said you want to cultivate national fashion brands. I don't object to that. The question is, how can an emerging e-commerce platform like Pinxixi achieve this?"
Tang Yi is not that easy to fool.
Brand building sounds easy, but it is difficult to do. Well-known overseas brands such as Coca-Cola, Nike, and BMW all take a long time to achieve success.
It is not possible to cultivate a well-known brand simply by bombarding with advertising.
Are there still few cases of marketing overturning?
If you want to truly build a brand that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and wins the trust of consumers, you must first of course have excellent product quality, and secondly, you must be able to endure loneliness and keep your original intention.
Like Lao Gan Ma.
What a great national fashion brand. After changing the operator, they were eager for quick success. In order to pursue short-term profits, they changed the raw materials without authorization and passed off inferior products, which caused the brand image that was finally established to collapse.
Another example is Wong Lo Kat.
Due to brand disputes and lawsuits, it turned out to be a lose-lose situation!
There are many similar examples to be found.
"I told you that Pinxixi is just a connector."
Zhang Shuo was not put off by the question. He studied hard at Binhai University for the past year and was not just a free man. He explained: "After discovering potential small and micro enterprises, in addition to Pinxixi's support, Sprout will also set up an investment fund."
, make strategic investments in these small and micro enterprises to help them establish sales channels and brand recognition."
Final goal--
It uses Pinxixi as a medium and capital as a means to help China's low- and medium-end manufacturing, small and micro enterprises, rural cooperatives, traditional handicrafts and other previously neglected industries to upgrade and create a new industry.
Work hard to realize what my uncle once boasted - make it easy to do business in the world!
If this thing is really done, it may not be favored by big brands, nor will it be as lively as Double Eleven, but it will truly benefit hundreds of millions of low- and middle-income people.
"So that's it."
Tang Yi also understood, and his eyes were filled with sparkles, "Isn't it very difficult to accomplish this?"
"Let's do it step by step."
Zhang Shuo is not afraid of difficulties, "As long as you are willing to throw money into it, you can always achieve something."
The most critical thing is that the coming period will be an ideal period for the rise of national trends. As the international situation changes, the "developed, high-end, fashionable" image deliberately created by the Western world is collapsing.
It even became an international laughing stock for a time.
The spirit of craftsmanship that Japan has been working hard to create has gradually turned into the spirit of craftsmanship.
The national tide is rising at the right time!
"This can't be done with just a little money."
Tang Yi took a deep look at Zhang Shuo. He agreed, but he was afraid that Germination would give up halfway.
"Second uncle, don't worry, I still have the courage. The initial investment may be smaller, only tens of billions, but the follow-up investment will definitely be hundreds of billions."
Zhang Shuo also set a flag.
"I told you a long time ago that the Internet business is just a budding opening. It will eventually fall into the manufacturing field and do some dirty work that others are not willing to do."
Sprout money sprout flower.
Zhang Shuo is not a miser. The astonishing wealth created through Bud will eventually be given back to society. Doing charity is a form, and supporting national fashion brands is also a form.
"You, you!"
Tang Yi tapped Zhang Shuo with his finger, saying nothing.
After lunch, Zhang Shuo left.
However, Tang Yi stayed and said to Mr. Tang: "This kid, Xiaoshuo, is really amazing. He has a big mind, a big feeling, and a big picture. Among the younger generation, it is difficult to have anyone who can surpass him."
If Zhang Shuo heard such praise, he would probably be shocked.
"How can the boy I like be worse?"
Mr. Tang was very arrogant, and his encounter with Zhang Shuo was indeed a good story.
