Chapter 357 Pingguo gives in, the new head of Daosui Group is in place, walking on two legs!
In the office, Lu Kai is reporting on work.
"Mr. Zhang, the acquisition of 25% of the shares of Baishi Express from Ali has been finalized. The final negotiated purchase price is 420 million. After the acquisition is completed, Pinxixi Group will fully own Baishi Express."
"very good."
Zhang Shuo was quite surprised that Ahri took the initiative to withdraw from Baishi, and thought that Ahri would follow suit and increase capital.
As a result, they simply left.
In this way, Baishi has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pinxixi Group, so there is no problem of increasing capital. Operating funds can be allocated directly to Baishi Express, or Qingfeng Baishi.
The procedure will definitely be much more convenient.
After Ahri withdraws, although Green Bee Baishi will still provide express delivery services for Ahri, it is obvious that the two parties will downgrade their previous strategic partnership to an ordinary commercial cooperation.
Qingfeng Baishi will also focus on Pinxixi’s business.
It was like Ahri had cut off an arm.
"In addition, Jingdong will launch the D2 round of financing. Jingdong actively invites us to participate. The specific investment amount needs to be decided by Mr. Zhang." Lu Kai continued to report.
"You only need to follow the investment to ensure that the shares are not diluted, and don't go into a big fight."
Zhang Shuo has no greater ambitions for Jingdong. Although Brother Dong is very generous and actively invites Mei Ya to join the game, he does not want to "take advantage of others' danger" and continue to expand his shareholding ratio in Jingdong.
That would make Brother Dong feel uneasy, which is completely unnecessary.
"Understood."
With Zhang Shuo's instructions, Lu Kai will naturally handle the next matter properly, and then talk about another investment, "According to Luo Changan's feedback, their visit to Licheng Technology went smoothly. Maybe it was
Because of the Dream Fund, Licheng Technology is also very active in this acquisition."
"That's good."
Zhang Shuo was also relieved. It can be seen that launching the Dream Fund is indeed a clever move.
………
Just when Zhang Shuo was busy.
Because of "Legend of Dota" and "Summoner", it was suddenly removed from the shelves of IOS, causing another dispute on the Internet.
"What the hell? Why did Pingguo take "Dota Legend" off the shelves? I was just enjoying playing it."
"Looking at the notification, it seems to be due to security protocol issues."
"Bullshit security protocol, just playing a game, what kind of security loopholes can there be?"
"that is!"
"Besides, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is not a new company. It has developed so many mobile games and has never had any problems before. How come two new games were removed from the shelves at once?"
"Don't you understand? Think about what happened last weekend."
"So, this is Pingguo's revenge on Germination? This is too damn cruel!"
"To be honest, it's really tasteless."
"The cracked wall requires Pingguo to be put back on the shelves quickly. I protest!!!"
“As an Android user, I sympathize with Pingguo users (dog head)…”
"Damn it, I was still hesitating whether to buy Pingguo 5 or Mai Li X1. Now I don't need to hesitate anymore. I decided to choose Mai Li
"That is, Pingguo doesn't take the interests of Chinese consumers into consideration at all. He is too arrogant."
"Let's see what the fruit fans say this time."
Of course, Pingguo users have nothing to say and no way to complain.
Soon, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment responded. First, it condemned the unreasonable removal of "Legend of Dota" and "Call of the Demons", and then announced a new version update plan for "Clash of Clans".
Please note that this update does not include North America.
Netizens immediately became happy.
"Sure enough, in this area, the sprout series never disappoints."
"Bluebird did a great job!"
"In response to Pingguo's barbaric behavior, we must fight tooth for tooth."
"It's comfortable, it's comfortable."
"I just like Qade Bird Interactive Entertainment, which prefers to bend rather than bend. It goes straight to the front."
"If Ping Guo really has his backbone, he would just remove all the mobile games under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment."
"Pingguo: I don't dare, I don't."
"Pingguo doesn't have the courage. If it really wants to be removed from the shelves, Pingguo's global user base will have to be reduced by at least half."
"So, if you want to deal with Pingguo's bullying, you have to master some secret weapons, like Tengda's. Even if Pingguo targets you, you probably won't be able to do anything."
"Tengda: I have been comprehended."
"We should strengthen ourselves. I hope that one day the Maili mobile phone can really kill Pingguo."
"Stop talking, I went to the Maili official website to place an order. I must support it."
This time, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has gained face, but Pingguo's reputation in China has declined again, and even some Apple fans can no longer stand it.
It's also a rude operation.
………
Pingguo Huaxia District Headquarters.
"Is this a threat from Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment?" Tao Feilin, president of China Region, looked embarrassed.
"Calculate!"
Sitting opposite Tao Feilin is James, Vice President of Pingguo China.
He is also the actual talker of the company.
If nothing else, James comes from Pingguo headquarters, so he is naturally superior to others in the company.
Tao Feilin is more like a mascot.
"Tao, this turmoil was entirely caused by you. You need to report it to the headquarters in person to resolve the matter." Compared to Tao Feilin's anxiety, James seemed to be at ease.
It's none of your business, just leave it alone.
"I....."
The expression on Tao Feilin's face became even more embarrassing.
Due to the emergence of Maili
The doormat is real.
This time, the scarf contains the name Maili
Unfortunately.
Tao Feilin once again hit the iron wall, and then he was even more difficult to get off. He suddenly chose to go head-to-head with the Maili Group, and even took it upon himself to threaten to remove Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment's new game.
Thinking that this can tame the sprout and force the sprout to bow its head.
As a result, Renqingniao Huyu changed hands and sent a counterattack, which hit Pingguo's vital point.
Zhang Shuo was really right. Pingguo didn't dare to risk a complete rift with Jade Bird Entertainment. Just for such a small friction, it was completely unworthy.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are exquisite calculations inside.
Looking at James' "It's none of his business" expression across from him, Tao Feilin felt depressed, but he didn't dare to have an attack. Of course, he wouldn't worry too much, as the worst he could do would be to be reprimanded by the headquarters.
It's not like I haven't been scolded before.
As for whether she will be dismissed from her position at the headquarters, Tao Feilin is not too worried. She was selected by Pingguo to serve as the president of China not because of her outstanding ability, but because of her local connections in China.
As long as this layer of amulet is there, she can be kept safe.
………
Two days later, on the same day, Dream Fund and Daosui Group formally issued an acquisition request to Licheng Technology, with a purchase price of US$1.8 billion.
That's about 11.6 billion.
In order to dispel some concerns of Licheng Technology, the acquisition memorandum also clearly stated that in this joint acquisition, Dream Fund will hold 55% of the shares and Daosui Group will hold 45%.
In other words, Dream Fund will have a controlling stake in Licheng Technology.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to proceed with the acquisition.
Licheng Technology immediately held a board meeting and approved in principle the joint acquisition request of Dream Fund and Daosui Group. The next step was specific acquisition negotiations.
Not to mention this.
Just when the acquisition of Licheng Technology was progressing smoothly, there was also good news coming from Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.
Not surprisingly, Pingguo chose to compromise and soon lifted the forced removal of "Legend of Dota" and "Summons", but did not publicly apologize.
Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is not reluctant to give up, but accepts it as soon as possible.
A small-scale, small-scale collision finally ended with a compromise between the two parties, but everyone knows that the conflict between Pingguo and Germination will not be resolved by this.
Quite the opposite.
The two sides will only deepen their resentment and eventually break out into a larger-scale collision.
This also gave Zhang Shuo a sense of crisis.
Pingguo asked a question on the scarf before, mocking the fact that the chip and operating system of Maili X1 were not self-developed. Although it was boycotted by Chinese netizens, it was indeed true.
Chip aspect.
With the advent of the Zhulong chip next year, it should be able to make up for its shortcomings soon.
Even walking in front of Pingguo.
As for the operating system alone, it is actually very difficult for the MILI system to completely get rid of the traces of the Android system and start a new business while still being above the standard.
What Zhang Shuo could think of was the original time and space Hongmeng.
If I remember correctly, the original space-time Warwick started planning the Hongmeng system in 2012, that is, this year, and it was not officially announced until 2019.
It took seven years.
The time is not short, but it is definitely not long for the development of an operating system.
Take Android as an example. The development of Android began around 2005 and was made public in 2007. It was only in 2011 that it replaced the aging Symbian system as the number one operating system and became a mainstream operating system.
It lasted six years.
If we want to benchmark against the Android system, then both the MILI system and Hongmeng seem to have started a little late, and may not be able to keep up with the development pace of the other party.
Just like Hong Meng in the original time and space.
When it was born in 2019, Android had already undergone multiple iterations, and each iteration solved many of the previous problems.
Every iteration makes Android more and more powerful.
The apps on the Android system are also abundant enough. Almost all mainstream and non-mainstream apps in the mobile phone market support the Android system.
Once a strong ecological chain is formed, it will be difficult to break through.
No wonder some people say that Hongmeng is just a low-end version of Android. When it first came out, it could only achieve 70% of the performance of Android, and there were still many shadows of Android on it.
It has not been fully recognized by consumers.
In fact, Hongmeng is not actually the second Android. If it were to compete with Android, it would have lost from the beginning. If you want to succeed, you can't follow the path that others have taken.
It should belong to the next decade.
As we all know, both Android and IOS systems were developed ten years ago.
Even though they have gone through countless iterations and improvements, their underlying logic is still the same as it was ten years ago——
"They are still systems designed for terminals and apps in the 4G network era."
More directly, they are designed for mobile phones.
The simplest question is: How can a Pingguo mobile phone and a Pingguo computer achieve deep data, resource and even hardware sharing between the two?
Did they consider realizing this kind of sharing when their operating systems were originally designed?
IOS has indeed achieved the sharing of some data and functions, but so far it has not been able to achieve that amazing in-depth sharing.
Although Android and IOS have gained a rich ecosystem by relying on their first-mover advantage, they have also suffered a big loss because of their first-mover advantage - hardware is developing too fast, there are too many new scenarios, and they can no longer keep up.
So far, the main battlefield for Android and IOS is still on mobile phones.
The operating systems of tablets, watches and cars are mostly specialized products derived from Android and IOS, such as and.
Pure Android and IOS are actually not well adapted to these later-emerged hardware.
Even Pingguo himself can't stand this phenomenon. The first generation I system was later changed to IOS, and now it's changed to...
The system designed for that era will ultimately not be able to meet the needs of the future era.
But Hongmeng is different.
When Hongmeng was born, the world had already reached the dawn of 5G. "Internet of Everything" has become a commonplace technical direction, and "building a system that is adaptable to all platforms" has long been a basic consensus.
The back wave will always beat the front wave to death on the beach.
It’s not because the pioneers are not good, it’s just because the latecomers are ahead. After all, Hongmeng has been designed from the very beginning to “face the future” and “connect everything that is possible”.
But Hongmeng is not without weaknesses. The biggest weakness is that he appeared too late!
Zhang Shuo can't wait.
Maili Mobile also can’t wait and must produce the finished product in the next three to four years.
But the words are easy to say, but if you really want to do it, it is not that simple, nor can it be done by simply throwing money at it.
otherwise.
There will be no such thing as Nokia's failure in the smartphone market.
Didn’t even Samsung finally succumb to Android?
If you want to develop a qualified operating system that even surpasses Android in terms of underlying logic in a very short period of time, you need to have strong technical accumulation in the field of communications.
What Germination lacks most is the foundation in this aspect.
Therefore, Zhang Shuo said that the shortcut he could think of was to unite with Warwick. It would be best to set up a joint venture company and strive to launch Hongmeng a few years in advance!
………
While Zhang Shuo was thinking about it, Gu Mingzhang knocked on the door and came in, followed by a middle-aged man.
"Mr. Zhang, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Lin Zhengdong, the global vice president of Youtel who I mentioned to you before. He has now left Youtel and officially joined the Sprout Group." Gu Mingzhang introduced with a smile.
"welcome!"
Zhang Shuo saw this and stood up with a smile to greet him.
"Mr. Zhang, I've admired you for a long time."
As an industry veteran on the same level as Gu Mingzhang, Lin Zhengdong was not reserved, but he showed enough respect in front of Zhang Shuo, a business legend.
This is what shopping malls are like, the strong are respected.
The current Sprout Group is completely different from the Sprout Group when Gu Mingzhang first joined more than a year ago. Both its size and profitability have more than doubled.
Even among global high-tech companies, it can barely qualify as a "giant."
Of course.
Compared with a real global giant like Yutel, it is still a bit less interesting.
Not to mention anything else, just taking 2012 as an example, Neter is expected to achieve a net profit of US$11 billion, and its profitability is far higher than that of the entire Germination Group.
Let’s talk about it next year.
As Maili Group begins to make profits, the game business of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is also becoming more and more prosperous. Even the most conservative estimate is that it will not be a big problem to achieve a profit of 60 billion next year.
He might even surpass Yuter in one fell swoop.
This is why, after receiving Gu Mingzhang's invitation, Lin Zhengdong resigned from his position as global vice president of Yiteer and joined the Sprout Group without much hesitation.
Even if I just serve as the president of Daosui Group, a subsidiary of Germination Group, I would be happy to do so.
Because only in the bud can Lin Zhengdong truly gain 100% trust, truly grasp the real power, truly exert all his talents, and flex his muscles in the semiconductor industry.
Just like Gu Mingzhang.
After the unprecedented success of MaiLi X1, Gu Mingzhang, as the president of MaiLi Group, has attracted much attention among executives in the global mobile phone industry.
its influence.
How can it be compared to what it was when I was at Nokia?
My career has truly ushered in its second spring.
"Mr. Lin, I want to ask you a question." Zhang Shuo, however, has a straight temper.
"Please tell me."
Lin Zhengdong sat upright.
"If the Germinal Headquarters meets all the funding needs of Daosui Group, whether it is 10 billion, 100 billion, or even more funds, how long will it take to build Daosui Group into the next Yingtel?"
Zhang Shuo has made no secret of his ambitions in the semiconductor field.
"Uh, this..."
Lin Zhengdong was shocked. He didn't know if the new boss was joking or if he really meant it.
Think about it.
Lin Zhengdong hesitated and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to realize this."
"Why?"
"First of all, when Daosui Group is developing forward, Youtel will not stop. In addition, semiconductor technology is changing rapidly, and it may be difficult to catch up." Lin Zhengdong said.
As far as he is concerned, it is hard to believe that there will be a second Yutel around the world.
"Then can't we just take small steps to catch up, or even overtake in corners?" Zhang Shuo disagreed, "Just like what China does in the fields of high-speed rail, UHV power transmission, aerospace and other fields."
If once you establish a leading edge, you can always lead, the world will not be what it is now.
There are many people who come from behind.
"I don't deny that what you mentioned is indeed a very remarkable achievement, but the semiconductor industry is different from these!"
Lin Zhengdong is obviously very human.
"What's different?" Zhang Shuo was reluctant.
"First of all, the semiconductor industry has been the pillar industry of the beautiful country to this day, and even in the foreseeable future, and will always be the jewel in the industrial crown."
The implication is that things like high-speed rail have special conditions for their existence.
Because developed countries do not have much investment and demand in this area, on the contrary, China's investment and demand in this area are the largest in the world. Relying on market demand, it has spawned technological upgrading.
Semiconductors are different.
To this day, semiconductor-related technologies, from semiconductor software, to chip design, to photolithography machines and other core technologies, are still in the hands of the beautiful country.
You can say that--
The beautiful country holds the key to the semiconductor industry, so it is confident.
"If Daosui Group wants to make a difference in the semiconductor industry, every step forward will be full of thorns, and there are almost no shortcuts." Lin Zhengdong elaborated on his point of view.
This is not to say that Lin Zhengdong has no fighting spirit or dreams, otherwise, he would not have resigned from his position at Yuter and resolutely joined Buya.
I just want Zhang Shuo, the new boss, to understand the cruel reality of the semiconductor industry.
The road ahead is long.
"It's difficult, but it's not impossible, isn't it?" Zhang Shuo is determined and will not be frightened by the difficulties in front of him. Only when it is difficult and challenging does it have to be done, and only when it is done can it be done more.
A sense of accomplishment.
"Yes."
Of course, Lin Zhengdong is also ambitious, otherwise he would not have chosen to join Daosui Group. He said with a smile: "Daosui Group's current acquisition plan for Licheng Technology and Japan Storage is actually giving full play to the power of capital and trying its best to
This will greatly shorten the early accumulation time and achieve another form of small steps and fast running.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Money may not be everything, but the value of capital cannot be denied.
It is undoubtedly better to quickly acquire mature technology reserves and talent reserves through acquisitions, and then launch new research and development on this basis than to start everything from scratch.
It can save at least ten years of work.
It must be admitted that even in China, there is no foundation at all in the semiconductor industry. It has still accumulated a lot of wealth, but it is still a little behind the world's advanced level.
What Daosui Group has to do is to bridge the gap in a certain field.
"As for if you want to achieve overtaking in the semiconductor industry, your vision should not be limited to this generation of semiconductor technology, but you must plan for the next generation of technology in advance."
Just catching up step by step will never make you a transcendent.
In this regard, China actually has rich experience accumulation. It not only completed the lessons of the first three industrial revolutions in a very short period of time, but also tried to lead a new industrial revolution.
"By the next generation of technology, are you referring to quantum chips?" Zhang Shuo's eyes flashed.
"That's it." Lin Zhengdong was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the new boss had such a deep understanding of the semiconductor industry. "The existing chip structure has its limits. Generally, the industry predicts that 2nm chips may be the limit."
"If we want to make further breakthroughs, we need to explore new areas such as quantum chips."
Of course, quantum chips are currently just a concept. It can only be said that they may be a new form of future chips, but it is too early to say whether they are the only form.
But no matter what.
For the current Daosui Group, betting in the field of quantum chips in advance is the most promising for success.
"very good!"
Although it was their first meeting and the conversation was not long, Lin Zhengdong left a very good impression on Zhang Shuo. He said with a smile: "As you said, Daosui Group will walk on two legs in the future. I will do my best."
support!"
"Thank you Mr. Zhang."
Lin Zhengdong was also determined and finally passed this final interview.
