Chapter 345 The headquarters is a mystery. Throw away 100 million coins and try to lose money and make a profit?!
September 30, Sunday.
Today is not only the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also the beginning of the eight-day Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday. Although two days are off, it is definitely a rare and happy moment for migrant workers.
This time it's not like May Day, it's a real "little holiday", it's so fun.
Miaomiao has already gone back to Jiangcheng.
Gu Xiaoxi also returned to her hometown to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her grandma.
Zhang Shuo had some matters to deal with in the company and was unable to return to Jiangcheng in time for the festival. In the evening, Mr. Tang called him to celebrate the festival with him.
Of course Tang Yu is also there.
It was even rare for my second uncle to return to Binhai City from Yangcheng to reunite with his family. As soon as they met, he asked Zhang Shuo with a smile: "How are the sales of Maili x1? I have been hearing news about this recently."
"The total sales volume exceeded one million yesterday," Zhang Shuo said with a smile.
"Okay." The second uncle's eyes also lit up, "So, the Maili mobile phone is really made?"
"Roughly the same."
Zhang Shuo was very modest, "It still depends on whether subsequent models can win the favor of consumers."
"You kid." Tang Yi pointed his finger at Zhang Shuo, and then said: "Why are you and Xin Jing Bao's holiday getting worse and worse? Do you want me to find someone to mediate it?"
But in the past week, the people Li Feng was looking for finally started to show their strength.
Every day, serialized reports are launched on major platforms such as Weixin's official account, Tiantian Toutiao, Tengda News, Bibo, and some other major platforms, specifically exposing the newspaper's distortion of facts and all kinds of news.
This is tantamount to exposing the newspaper’s background.
For a time, the Internet public opinion continued to ferment, and the newspaper almost became a street rat that everyone wanted to beat.
"I used to think that this newspaper's reports were very timely, but I didn't expect them to be this kind."
"No wonder the cute king went crazy before. This newspaper really has a criminal record."
"What kind of criminal record does this have? It's simply too numerous to describe."
"It's really good at grafting flowers and trees with one hand. People who eat melons think it's very easy. How can you tell the difference?"
"For the sake of traffic, you really don't care about anything. Where is your moral integrity?"
"Isn't there anyone who cares about it? Is there a lower limit?"
"I will never believe any reports in this newspaper again, haha!!!"
"Everyone who eats melons should keep their eyes open. You don't have to be always hot-blooded, always young, and always on the road to being slapped in the face. Don't be betrayed by others, and you are still cheering for others."
"It's very difficult to be a crocodile in a melon field."
…
Under the turmoil of public opinion, many people have lost their defenses and realized for the first time that cyberspace is so complicated and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false news on the Internet.
It is really not possible to judge the world's major events by relying on diode thinking.
"I took the initiative to open up the pustule of Xin Jing. I had heard about what they were doing before, and happened to cause trouble for Mei Ya several times. The old and new grudges were settled together."
Zhang Shuo gave a reasonable explanation for his behavior.
"Then there's no need to fight to the death. You should know that it's not easy to bring down this newspaper."
"I know."
How could Zhang Shuo not be clear about this? Many people in Yuan Shikong were aggrieved by this matter - how could such a rat shit be able to live freely and openly without anyone caring about it?
But it's strong.
"I don't want to bring down anyone, I just want to discuss the matter." Zhang Shuo said.
"Then let's stop here. If you continue, in the eyes of some people, you may think you have crossed the line, which may not be a good thing." Tang Yi reminded solemnly.
As a businessman, Zhang Shuo also has restricted areas of behavior. Don’t touch anything that shouldn’t be touched.
"Second uncle, I understand."
How could Zhang Shuo not understand? He said with a smile: "These people who exposed the details of this newspaper should be some righteous people and have nothing to do with me."
"You, you!"
Facing Zhang Shuo now, Tang Yi could only stop there. He believed that Zhang Shuo was a smart man.
Of course, behind Zhang Shuo's seemingly erratic behavior, Tang Yi, who already knew Zhang Shuo very well, seemed to smell something different - Zhang Shuo's concern for public opinion.
"Is this also an area that needs to be strengthened?" Tang Yi was thinking subconsciously.
perhaps.
Every time he indulged Zhang Shuo's deviance was a reflection and test for Tang Yi.
It's still very helpful.
"Third brother, there will be a contemporary painting exhibition at the art museum tomorrow. Do you want to go shopping together?" Seeing that the two of them had finished talking about business, Tang Yu came over in time.
"Whose art exhibition?"
"There is a master from Qingbei Academy who I heard is very famous."
"Qingbei Academy? Haha, forget it, I can't appreciate their aesthetics."
In my impression, this art academy was originally located on the Internet, but it has caused troubles several times in succession, including a catwalk with a model with angular eyes and a graduation exhibition with weird painting styles.
He even extended his sinful hands to textbook illustrations and crazily carried out private goods.
Just think of yourself as a dog.
It’s enough to want to distort the aesthetics of a generation of teenagers.
"???"
Tang Yu was confused and didn't understand why Zhang Shuo was prejudiced against Qingbei Academy.
………
In the car after returning from Mr. Tang's place, Zhang Shuo was browsing Moments with gusto.
The moon is shining everywhere.
This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day coincided with each other, so there were a lot of people going home to celebrate the festival.
Naturally, the circle of friends is also extremely lively.
Even my mother, Cai Shuyu, rarely posted on WeChat Moments. To my surprise, Du Qingqing also left the country, as if she was spending the holidays with the old couple.
This is really strange.
Zhang Shuo casually gave a like and couldn't help but ask: "Why is Du Qingqing here?"
My mother quickly replied, "It's not like some brat has no conscience and won't come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Qingqing comes to spend the festival with us old couple. What's wrong? Do you have any opinion?"
Well, the smell of gunpowder is very strong.
"No, no, I don't dare, I don't dare, it's good, it's good." Zhang Shuo was stunned for a second.
Just, Qingqing?
Are Mom and Du Qingqing already so familiar? Du Qingqing is a very good girl.
………
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Shuo was still in no hurry to return to Jiangcheng.
The fear of being punished by my mother is only one aspect. The main reason is that I am impatient to deal with those relatives. Once I go back, I will definitely cause trouble to everyone.
Maybe people in Jiangcheng will take notice and take action, and there will probably be endless entertainment.
Zhang Shuo really didn't like socializing, so in order to get some peace and quiet, he took Chen Lu to his villa in Sanya for a three-day and four-night crazy housekeeping trip.
Returning to Binhai City again, I felt completely exhausted.
It wasn't until October 5 that Zhang Shuo finally boarded the plane home slowly.
And now it is already the end of the holiday.
Zhang Shuo returned to Jiangcheng at this time, not only for a visit, but more importantly to supervise the battle.
Pinxixi, which officially launched internal testing in Jiangcheng last month, how could it miss such a rare period of explosive consumption during the National Day holiday? Under Du Qingqing’s suggestion, it launched the first wave of the “100 million subsidy campaign”.
In 2012, a subsidy of 100 million did not seem like a big deal.
But don't forget, the subsidy promotion launched by Pinxixi this time is only for the city of Jiangcheng. If it is compared with the whole country, it is almost equivalent to a tens of billions of subsidies.
It's been very crazy.
For such a large-scale event, Zhang Shuo naturally had to personally supervise the operation.
After getting off the plane.
Zhang Shuo did not rush home, but went directly to Pinxixi Jiangchuan branch.
In the next six months to one year, Pinxixi's business focus will be on Jiangcheng, so it has paid special attention to the construction of the Jiangchuan branch and rented a three-story office building.
The customer service center alone occupies an entire floor.
The number of employees in the Jiangchuan branch even exceeds that of the Binhai City headquarters. This time, for the "100 million subsidy campaign", Du Qingqing also urgently transferred a group of technical and operation-related personnel from the headquarters for reinforcements.
It will be even more lively when we set up branches.
In the same building as Pin Xixi, there are also a series of sprout-type expatriate agencies such as the Jiangchuan Branch of the Sprout Group and the Jiangchuan Branch of Baishi Express.
But it makes it easier to communicate with each other.
For example, the Jiangchuan branch of Sprout Group assumes part of Pinxixi's marketing functions in Jiangcheng.
The big boss Zhang Shuo came to inspect and found out whether Du Qingqing, Jiang Shan and other high-minded people, and even some middle managers, were really working overtime regardless of whether they had to work overtime or not.
Everyone came and waited to be greeted downstairs.
This made other workers in the building who were still working overtime confused, thinking that some leader was coming to inspect.
Then I saw Zhang Shuo getting out of the car.
"Is it the cute king?? The cute king is really here!!!"
The onlookers immediately became excited, "No wonder there is such a big battle. I heard that Pin Xixi also works in this building. Is this the big boss who came to express condolences during the holiday? I'm so envious."
I was very excited, but I was also very professional and didn't dare to come forward to disturb him.
There was no way to step forward.
The bodyguards in black, headed by Li Feng, have been ready for a long time.
"Why are you having such a big fight? Go upstairs quickly, don't be looked at like a monkey." Zhang Shuo didn't give any face, "There are people who are on vacation, so there is no need to come to the company specially, what should you do?
Go ahead."
As a social worker in the original time and space, Zhang Shuo was fed up with the kind of executives who came to inspect during holidays, so he pretended to be close to the people. He was moved by himself, but it made the employees below him miserable.
I had a good vacation, but it was ruined by this kind of show-like activity.
What a disappointment.
When he arrived at the company, Zhang Shuo didn't hold any staff meeting. He just listened to Du Qingqing's individual report in the office and told everyone else what to do without any delay.
The good boss is real.
"How's it going? Nothing happened, right?"
Zhang Shuo felt very comfortable without outsiders around. Sitting on the sofa, he couldn't help but cross his legs.
"..."
Du Qingqing resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Why, just hoping that something would go wrong with her?
Of course, Zhang Shuo's concern is not unreasonable.
The "100 million subsidy event" organized by Pin Xixi was fully supported by Zhang Shuo. In addition to making Pin Xixi famous in one fell swoop, it was also a stress test.
See if the app can run smoothly when data such as app visits, page views, transaction volume, etc. surge, and whether there will be lags or inability to pay.
There are also supporting customer service, logistics and other systems to cope with the sudden surge in orders.
"There are constant small problems, but fortunately there are no major mistakes."
Du Qingqing also had lingering fears. During the event, except for having dinner with Zhang Shuo's parents on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, she spent most of the time focused on the company in order to deal with various emergencies at any time.
I also stayed in a hotel suite near the company.
After returning from business school, he was immediately entrusted with important tasks by Zhang Shuo. Du Qingqing was not a saint, so he could not ignore some gossip from the group and was eager to prove himself.
But you have to show off your desperate attitude.
I stayed up late yesterday. In order to receive Zhang Shuo early this morning, I used eye shadow, concealer, etc. to cover up the dark circles, showing off the style of a strong working woman.
"You mean, this stress test passed?" Zhang Shuo smiled.
"Overall, the development of the Pinxixi app is still very passable. In addition, the server provided by Qingyun Data is also very powerful, so it has passed the test. On the contrary, there are constant problems in customer service and logistics. After the event, we need to sum up our experience.
, and continue to improve." Du Qingqing said.
"fine."
Zhang Shuo didn't blame him harshly. This test was originally designed to find problems.
As a new e-commerce company, Pinxixi was able to successfully carry out such a large marketing event, which was beyond his expectation.
It can be seen from this that Du Qingqing has indeed made progress.
"How about the sales?" Zhang Shuo asked again.
"So far, sales during the event have exceeded the 400 million mark, which is still very impressive. Among the best-selling products, the main ones are paper towels, rice noodles, grains and oils, detergents, toothpaste, toothbrushes and other daily chemicals."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is the wisdom of ordinary people, really!"
Zhang Shuo can understand that after finally encountering a big sale, he naturally tries his best to stock up on some daily chemical products that are easy to store and can be used.
The needs of young ladies in developed coastal cities are naturally different.
"For the sales of daily chemical products, Pinxixi can actually consider setting up a separate supermarket section in the future to sell all kinds of daily chemical products." Zhang Shuo suggested with a smile.
But it's the wool of the time and space magic treasure in Naruhara.
Online supermarkets, same-city delivery, and same-day delivery will also be a big piece of meat in the e-commerce field in the future. The key is that it fits well with Pinxixi's positioning, and it is still very suitable for it.
"Supermarket section?"
Du Qingqing's eyes also lit up, "Can you tell me in detail?"
"certainly!"
Zhang Shuo was also generous with his advice and told everything he knew.
This conversation lasted for most of half an hour.
"Ahem, one more thing. The leaders of Jiangcheng have mentioned to me that they hope Pinxixi will move its headquarters to Jiangcheng." Du Qingqing mentioned another matter.
"Oh? How did you answer?" Zhang Shuo was noncommittal.
"Of course I am saying that this needs to be decided by the group headquarters, and it doesn't matter what I say." Du Qingqing is not stupid. For such an important decision, he will not agree to anything unless he personally asks the big boss Zhang Shuo for instructions.
"What about your own opinion?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"Me?" Du Qingqing was slightly stunned, "To be honest, I have been busy with promotional activities recently, and I have no chance to calm down and think about this matter."
"Then I'll wait until you figure it out first, and then we'll talk about it later." Zhang Shuo was not in a hurry.
"good!"
Seeing that Zhang Shuo valued his opinion so much, Du Qingqing was a little surprised, and added: "However, Jiangcheng is really sincere and has proposed many preferential policies. It also said that it will strengthen the construction of high-speed rail, inland waterways and airports.
, I guess I also want to make a big plan."
"Let's talk to Jiangcheng when we get the chance. There's no rush now."
Zhang Shuo is an old fox. The more enthusiastic Jiang Cheng is, the more determined Mo Ya will be. He cannot be easily fooled by Jiang Cheng.
That would be the end of it.
………
After inspecting Pinxixi Jiangchuan Branch, Zhang Shuo, accompanied by Du Qingqing, visited the technical, operational and customer service employees who remained at their posts during the holidays.
At noon, I also attended a dinner organized by Du Qingqing.
In the afternoon, Zhang Shuo returned home. The first thing he saw was the express delivery piled up in the living room. He was surprised and said: "Mom, what's going on? Is it over?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
She hasn't seen her son, so Cai Shuyu misses her son, but when she really wants to see him in person, she feels very disgusted, "Isn't this an activity for Xixi? With such a huge discount, I shouldn't take the opportunity to stock up more."
Okay!
Zhang Shuo was also unable to complain.
Even though he is already the richest man and will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, his parents still do not forget to carry forward the fine style of hard work and simplicity of the older generation and know how to live a good life.
Zhang Shuo naturally fully supports such a lifestyle.
What a shameful waste!
As a result, throughout the afternoon, Zhang Shuo, under the command of his mother, transformed into a courier boy, constantly moving and unsealing various packages. Just like Du Qingqing said, most of them were daily necessities.
Awesome hey!
………
Monday, October 8th.
After going to work, Zhang Shuo has to deal with the grant applications for a new month. Since it is the beginning of a new quarter, there are also an especially large number of grant applications.
Allocate 600 million R&D funding to the Fertile Soil Research Institute;
Allocate 1.7 billion operating funds to Mango Auto, including 400 million R&D funds;
Allocate 600 million operating funds to Daosui Semiconductor, including 500 million R&D funds;
Allocate 400 million working capital to Pinxixi;
Allocate 300 million operating funds to the headquarters of Germination Group;
Allocate 600 million operating funds to Germinal Real Estate, of which 500 million is project funds.
All added together, there is a special allocation of 4.2 billion, and the monthly allocation once again exceeds 4 billion. The operating funds allocated to Mango Auto include 1.2 billion construction funds for the Mango Automobile Super Factory.
In terms of profit.
Last month, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment turned over a profit of 2.7 billion, Qinghe Technology turned over a profit of 50 million, and Germinal Financial Holdings turned over a profit of 80 million, for a total profit of 2.83 billion.
The profits handed over by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment that month included US$100 million in overseas agency fees for the "Dyson Sphere Project".
Although Maili Group did not turn over profits to the headquarters in September, starting from October, it no longer needs blood transfusions from the headquarters and can independently bear the group's operations and R&D expenses.
Starting in October, as sales continue to explode, profits will be handed over to the headquarters.
After entering the third quarter, whether it is Fertile Land Research Institute or Mango Auto, with the increase in researchers, R&D expenditures will rise to a new level.
Inaho Semiconductor’s R&D funding will remain unchanged for the time being.
Because during the integration process of Zhanxun and Ruidike, Daosui Semiconductor cut off some non-core businesses, fired some unqualified researchers, and the staff was in a state of contraction.
Only when more people need to be recruited can R&D funding be raised.
[Associated companies]: Linde New Energy (35%), Haode Map (20%), Jingdong (25%)

Last month, in addition to normal expenditures, 3 billion was allocated to the Guochao Brand Support Plan Fund, leaving Sprout Group with only less than 1.4 billion in cash on its books.
next month.
Just point to the profits turned over by Maili Group and put them in the pot.
………
After signing the grant application, Zhang Shuo had time to read the work briefing compiled by the President's Office.
This past holiday was actually quite lively.
Especially in the smartphone industry, first there were price reduction promotions of Samsung and HTC, and then Maili x1 was launched in the cold winter, triggering a new round of rush buying.
The battle between mobile phone giants can be described as exciting.
The final data showed that the Maili
It can be said to be very crazy.
This is also Zhang Shuo’s biggest source of confidence that Maili Group will achieve profitability this month.
In addition to the secret war in the mobile phone industry, there are also big news breaking out in the Internet field, but someone familiar with the matter broke the news that Ahri intends to fully acquire the bib.
It immediately triggered a big wave of rendering.
In particular, neither Ahri nor Zhalang directly denied the news. They only stated that the two parties were indeed still in contact and did not disclose the specific negotiation process.
Zhang Shuo does know a little bit.
If the trajectory of time and space had not changed, in the original time and space, Ahri's acquisition of the scarf was actually full of twists and turns, and it was not all smooth sailing.
At first, the uncle really wanted to fully acquire the scarf, but Zha Lang disagreed.
Later it was changed to a holding company.
After that, it became Ali's strategic investment in Bibb. Although Ahri became the largest shareholder of Bibb, it did not realize its controlling stake in Bibb.
Judging from the stock price trend after the scarf, Ahri’s deal is actually quite cost-effective.
In addition to big news like Ahri's acquisition of scarves, during the National Day holiday, an "I speak for myself" advertisement launched by the founder of Jumei Youpin also became a hit on the entire Internet.
This opened up a way for founders to bring their own topics and traffic.
After that, a certain lady who sells air conditioners took this marketing technique to the extreme and easily saved hundreds of millions, or even billions, in marketing expenses.
Of course, this approach has advantages and disadvantages. The company is too tightly bound to the founder. Once a problem occurs on one side, it will "lose both" and both sides will suffer.
