Chapter 361 Tens of billions of capital increase, Ahri withdraws, internal strife in Tengda!
"I don't think the subsidy war will start so soon." Wang Xin expressed a different view.
"How do you say it?" Zhang Shuo became interested.
"Although Nomi.com and Dacong Dianping announced their merger, it was only a verbal merger. Subsequent personnel integration, business integration, APP merger and other matters are all complicated and cannot be finalized in a short time.
, it will take a month or two at the earliest. By the time the integration is completed, it will be almost the Spring Festival." Wang Xin understands this very well.
Not to mention the reciprocal integration of Nomi.com and Dacongdianping. When Moutuan was integrated into Qingcheng Group, it took several months to truly digest and implement it and truly integrate it into one.
That is to say.
Wang Xin judged that the subsidy war will happen after the Spring Festival.
"The integration of Nomi Dianping takes time, and Ahli doesn't have that," Pei Weiping reminded.
"Ahri was forced to accept the challenge this time. If Nomi Dianping didn't pull the trigger, Ahri would definitely not end in a hurry. Ahri's money didn't come from the strong wind." Wang Xin smiled.
Pei Weiping's lips moved but in the end he said nothing.
There is no doubt that Pei Weiping's performance in this report was actually quite bad. Not only did the suggestions he made fail to gain the approval of the big boss, but he also failed to come up with remedial measures.
In comparison, Wang Xin's performance was passable.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Lu Kai said with a smile: "If you want to scare Ah Li, there is actually another way, which is to start Qingcheng Group's capital increase plan in advance."
According to the service agreement signed between Qingcheng Group and Qinghe Technology, Qingcheng Group will need to pay a second service fee of up to 10 billion to Qinghe Technology in March next year.
for this fund.
Zhang Shuo has said long ago that he will not conduct equity financing, but directly increase capital.
This is what Lu Kai was talking about.
"That's a good idea."
Zhang Shuo's eyes also lit up, "Ali and Qiandu are both small shareholders of Qingcheng Group. Once the tens of billions capital increase plan is announced, I think both companies will be a little wary and unable to figure out our movements."
That is to say.
Although Zhang Shuo has decided not to participate in the subsidy war, Qingcheng Group may not give a detailed explanation on this matter, nor will it say that it will participate or not.
If the capital increase plan is presented at this time, it will easily make the outside world think that Qingcheng is stocking up on ammunition.
Even if Ali’s determination cannot be shaken, the food delivery subsidy war will be postponed until after the Spring Festival. By then, the [Life] function of Qingcheng APP will have almost been launched for testing.
"Then this is double insurance, basically foolproof." Wang Xin agreed with a smile.
"OK."
Zhang Shuo did not want to dwell too much on this issue, "That's it, Qingcheng will not participate in subsidies, and will immediately start research and development of [life] functions and take a long-term development path."
Pei Weiping and Wang Xin naturally had no objections.
In fact, this simple meeting also set the Qingcheng Group’s main development plan for next year, which is to promote Qingcheng Bicycle in the first half of the year and test Qingcheng Taxi in the second half of the year.
………
After discussing matters related to Qingcheng, Pei Weiping and Wang Xin left first.
The meeting is still going on.
Lu Qi, the rotating president, followed the topic just now and reported: "In addition to Qingcheng Group's need to increase capital next year, Qingyun Data will also increase capital. Will they also be discussed together?"
With the completion of the southern Sichuan data center, plus daily operations and R&D support, Qingyun Data has spent 7788 yuan of the 2.5 billion in Series A financing.
The operating funds for next year have not yet been secured.
If you do not want to start Series B financing, then all major shareholders will need to increase their capital in the same proportion.
"Can."
Zhang Shuo also considered this matter, "Then increase the capital by 5 billion in one go to save the trouble of going back and forth."
"Five billion? Will there be some tightness in terms of funding arrangements?"
Lu Qi took out a pen and paper to calculate on the spot.
"The group holds 64.05% of the shares of Qingcheng Group and needs to spend 6.405 billion to increase its capital by 10 billion. It holds 90% of the shares in Qingyun Data and needs to spend 4.5 billion to increase its capital by 5 billion. Adding them all together is 10.905 billion."
It's really not a small amount of money.
"One hundred and eleven billion..."
Zhang Shuo also scratched his head a little, thought for a moment, and said: "Well, everyone happens to be here. Let's take this opportunity to make statistics on the various business lines of the group and the major expenses expected before the Spring Festival."
It's better to be aware of it.
When Gu Mingzhang saw this, he was the first to report: "Mr. Zhang, Xirang Technology has completed its registration, and it will take one or two months for the registered capital of one billion to be received."
"Okay, one billion."
Zhang Shuo also followed Lu Qi's example and wrote down something in his notebook.
"In addition, because Daosui Group needs to complete its layout in the field of quantum chips, starting next month, the group headquarters will need to reallocate research and development funds." Gu Mingzhang said.
"Another three hundred million."
When it comes to R&D expenditures, Zhang Shuo has always made generous contributions.
Then Jiang Yue reported: "After Eastern University of Science and Technology is approved, according to our previous commitment, the library of Eastern University of Science and Technology will be donated by Chunmiao Fund. The total project budget is 1.5 billion, and start-up funds need to be prepared."
A library with a budget of 1.5 billion is also a first-class existence from a global perspective.
This is Zhang Shuo's selfish motives.
He will graduate with a master's degree next year and has no plans to continue studying for a doctoral degree. Naturally, he will not be able to continue to stay at Binhai University.
After graduation, you need a new place to live.
The Oriental University of Science and Technology was renovated and built in Houhai, close to the water. Zhang Shuo simply asked the Chunmiao Foundation to contract the school's library project, making up his mind to build a first-class library in Asia.
From now on I will spend time in the new library.
"This must be supported. We will allocate 300 million in start-up capital first and strive to complete it before September next year." Zhang Shuo is also heroic for the future of a free world.
"In addition, for the Fertile Soil Award next month, the bonuses also need to be prepared in advance." Jiang Yue continued to report, "The funds previously allocated by the Chunmiao Fund have almost been used up."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Then allocate one billion to the Spring Sprouts Fund in one go."
Although Zhang Shuo does not pay as much attention to public welfare undertakings as before, his support has not diminished.
"The last thing is the year-end bonus, not counting subsidiaries, but for the group headquarters, if we benchmark against last year's standards, we need to prepare a year-end bonus of 200 million to 300 million yuan." Jiang Yue reminded.
And obviously.
If this year's sprouts reach a new level, the year-end bonus will naturally increase.
"Then let's prepare according to the standard of 300 million."
Zhang Shuo felt a slight pain in his liver. Now that he had opened his mouth, everyone came to collect debts. After a rough calculation, the estimated expenditure was as high as 13.6 billion.
Really scary.
Mainly because the New Year is approaching and money is needed everywhere.
"Let's do this." Zhang Shuo quickly made a decision, "This month, the capital increase of Qingcheng Group will be completed first, and the capital increase of Qingyun Data will be reduced to 4 billion, which will be carried out next month."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Lu Qi said nothing more and immediately reported: "Mr. Zhang, the charter of the board of directors has been drafted. You can convene a shareholders' meeting at any time to elect the first board of directors."
"very good."
Zhang Shuo raised his head and asked: "When will Olivia return to Coastal City?"
"Factory H has given in. The last obstacle to the acquisition of Licheng Technology has been removed. Olivia is expected to return to Binhai City tomorrow." The person who answered was Lu Kai, who was responsible for connecting with Olivia.
"You gave in so quickly?"
Zhang Shuo was a little disappointed. He thought Factory H was so tough, but Qingqing was also a coward. It can be seen that the trump card he used before was indeed very powerful.
"Then the shareholders' meeting will be held the day after tomorrow." Zhang Shuo quickly made a decision.
Since Sprout Group only has three shareholders: Zhang Shuo (individual), Dream Fund, and Chunmiao Fund, the so-called shareholders' meeting is actually just a formality.
Board member Zhang Shuo has already made the decision.
………
Two days later.
On this day, a big news happened in the mobile phone industry. The new mobile phone released by OV was the first to launch 1080P high-definition effect, which established the former's positioning as the main camera function.
It's true that there is something.
At the same time, the imaging laboratory jointly established by Maili Group and Leica was officially unveiled in Maili Building, announcing Maili Mobile's ambitions in imaging systems.
morning.
Sprout Group held a low-key shareholders' meeting and elected five directors, Zhang Shuo, Olivia, Jiang Yue, Lu Qi and Lu Kai, and Zhang Shuo as chairman.
Upon nomination by Zhang Shuo, Jiang Yue will also serve as secretary of the board of directors.
It can be said that the establishment of the board of directors of the Sprout Group is only a necessary step to improve the corporate governance structure, and will not have any substantial impact on the specific decision-making and operations of the Sprout Group.
"The Evil God"
Zhang Shuo, who serves as chairman and CEO, is still the soul of Germinal Group.
If there is anything different, it may be that in the near future, Zhang Shuo may consider stepping down from his position as CEO and only assume the role of chairman, withdrawing from the daily operation and management of Sprout Group.
At the same time, the rotating president system will be replaced by the rotating CEO system.
………
Ahri Headquarters.
At the same time that Mei Ya held the shareholders' meeting, Ali also received a notice from Qingcheng Group to increase capital, and the uncle immediately called Ren Xiaoyao to discuss the matter.
"What do you think about this?" the uncle asked.
"The capital increase of Qingcheng Group this time should be to prepare for the second service fee that needs to be paid to Weixin in March next year." Ren Xiaoyao didn't think much about it.
Just a little bit envious.
Through the traffic portal, Weixin has made hundreds of billions of profits from just three companies: Ahri, Jingdong, and Qingcheng.
It's really scary!
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
The uncle has a different view, "Seeing that the takeout subsidy war is about to begin, don't you think it's a coincidence that Qingcheng Group suddenly launched a capital increase plan at this time? You have already said that the service fee will be paid in March next year.
Are you in such a hurry to start increasing capital now?"
"what do you mean?"
Ren Xiaoyao was also a little unsure, "Could it be that Qingcheng Group also wants to participate in takeout subsidies?"
"pretty close."
The uncle sneered, "It seems that Qingcheng can't stand the loneliness either."
The most depressing thing is that as a small shareholder of Qingcheng Group, Ahli only has the right to know. Not only is he unable to prevent Qingcheng Group from participating in the subsidy war, but he also eagerly gives money to Qingcheng Group.
"What's this called?"
Thinking of this, the uncle's liver ached, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's just completely withdraw from the Qingcheng Group. Retaining a small share will not do anything. We are just suffering."
In the final analysis, the uncle is still too controlling.
"It's okay to quit."
For a behemoth like Ahri, holding less than a penny of shares in Qingcheng is really pointless. If you want to quit, you can always find a takeover.
And it’s not a loss either!
………
There is Qiandu who has the same calculation as Ah Li.
After receiving the notice of Qingcheng Group's tens of billions of capital increase, the third master's judgment was surprisingly consistent with the uncle's, and he also believed that Qingcheng was here for the subsidy war.
Instead of following Ali's lead and quitting, he agreed to the capital increase plan.
Hedging your bets!
Compared with the weird relationship between Tengda, Ahri and Moya, Qiandu and Moya currently maintain a cooperative relationship, and there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two parties.
If we dig a little deeper, Tenda’s cutting of maps and search business is due to the pressure from the bud, and Qiandu is the ultimate beneficiary.
There is even less reason to be hostile to Germination.
"Why!"
The third master is not sure whether joining forces with Tengda this time is the right decision.
But Qiandu actually had no choice.
Tengda threw out the map and searched for these two big cakes. Not to mention just joining forces, even if it meant paying a higher price, from a thousand-degree perspective, he would be happy to do so.
How could you not bite the hook?!
………
Friday, December 14th.
On this day, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment’s first serious self-developed client game - "Tianya Mingyue Dao", officially launched a non-deleting public beta test.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before this, there have actually been two rounds of deletion and internal testing.
In the original time and space, "Tianya Mingyue Dao" is a martial arts-themed 3D massively multiplayer online role-playing computer client domestic game developed by Tenda. It was officially released for public beta on July 1, 2016.
It is adapted from the martial arts "Tianya·Mingyue·Sword" written by Gu Long.
This is also the first client game under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment to use the virtual engine jointly developed with EPIC, demonstrating Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment’s ambitions in the field of client games.
The game not only perfectly inherits the advantages of the original time and space, but also makes up for the shortcomings of the original time and space.
For example, the economic system and shopping mall have been redesigned.
In terms of krypton gold, the appearance of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is not as ugly as the original Time and Space Tengda. The prices of fashion items are set extremely high, which discourages ordinary players and at the same time, they can't help but curse.
In terms of player reputation, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment still needs more respect.
But some people still complained.
Because with the release of "Tianya Mingyue Dao", players can easily think of another martial arts online game that was released for public beta on August 8 this year - "Nine Yin Manual".
It can be said to be a bright moment!
Precisely because "Nine Yin Manual" came out early, Zhang Shuo could not bear to "learn from it" before, but chose "Ni Shui Han", which was released later, as the successor of "Tianya Mingyue Knife".
Otherwise it will be exposed.
This has led to the emergence of some unharmonious voices on the Internet.
""Tianya Mingyue Sword" is similar to "Nine Yin Manual", isn't it plagiarism?"
"Nonsense, one is Bone Dragon Martial Arts and the other is Jin Yong Martial Arts. They are completely different, right?"
"Those who say plagiarism are all novices who don't understand game development. The development time for such a large-scale PC game will take at least a year. How can there be such a thing as plagiarism?"
"The original work is just a layer of skinning. The key is that the gameplay and core of the game feel almost the same."
"The gods are pretty much the same. Aren't all online martial arts games the same?"
"Then why not say that "Nine Yin Manual" plagiarized "Jian Wang 3", the latter is the real originator."
"Jian Wang 3", which was launched in 2009, can be called the pinnacle of martial arts online games. Even in 2012, "Tianya Mingyue Dao" was difficult to surpass.
Looking at it in a longer time dimension——
The four martial arts online games "Jian Wang 3", "Nine Yin Manual", "Tianya Mingyue Dao" and "Ni Shui Han" can basically represent the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts online games.
It will be difficult for anyone to surpass him after that.
Because there are many loyal fans of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment online, the public opinion is not one-sided.
But there are also those who complain.
"Even if we say that "Tianya Mingyue Dao" did not plagiarize "Nine Yin Manual", the gameplay is similar, right? This is completely unlike the style of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment. I was originally looking forward to another epoch-making innovative masterpiece."
It can be seen that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Especially with the stand-alone game "Dyson Sphere Project" as the base, expectations are even higher.
No idea.
What Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has produced is just a decent martial arts online game.
"Actually, it's not bad."
"Don't forget, although Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is very good in the field of mobile games, "Tianya Mingyue Dao" is actually only the first client game developed by Jade Bird. It is already amazing to reach above the passing line."
"In the final analysis, expectations are still too high."
Before the explosion of mobile games, Chinese players were already very dissatisfied with Tenda's poor performance in the field of PC games. Naturally, they hoped that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment could come up with something different.
result……
But complaints are complaints. After all, the golden name of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is here, and there are still many players who are willing to buy it. They pick up their knives and enter the world of "Tianya Mingyue Knife".
If nothing unexpected happens.
It is very likely that the latecomers will catch up and surpass the popularity of "Nine Yin Manual" in one fell swoop.
Profit designation is no problem.
………
Tenda headquarters.
"I didn't expect that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment would learn how to show off. I thought I could come up with some amazing work, but this is what happened?" At the meeting, Lu Jian still couldn't hold back and complained a few words.
In fact, it’s just a mouthful.
"From the perspective of game operations, "Tianya Mingyue Dao" is actually considered a qualified game. Chinese players already have a strong martial arts complex. As long as the quality of the game reaches the standard, there will be many people playing it."
It was rare for Renyu to say a fair word.
"Why didn't we think of developing a martial arts online game before?" Lu Jian asked.
"Uh, this..."
Renyu's face looked a little ugly. Wouldn't this slap him in the face?
Again.
Even if it is a qualified martial arts online game, it is not just a piece of bad cabbage on the street. You can get it if you ask for it.
Tenda originally lacked original genes.
"I have a situation to report."
Renyu rolled his eyes and then said: "After testing by the technical department, "Tianya Mingyue Knife" uses the virtual engine jointly developed by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and EPIC, and the performance is unexpectedly good."
"That's the most important thing to pay attention to."
At this time, Renyu probably didn’t know that because Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment was the first to reach a strategic cooperation with EPIC, it robbed Tenda of a big opportunity.
As a result, Tenda became even more powerless in the field of PC game R&D.
Almost nothing is done.
"A virtual engine, what's there to care about?" Lu Jian subconsciously retorted.
The two of them were becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.
"you!"
Renyu was very angry and almost fell out.
"Can we win the agency rights of "Nine Yin Manual" and compete with "Tianya Mingyue Sword"?" The second master cleverly changed the subject and froze the dispute between the two subordinates.
"That's not a bad idea."
Renyu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "It's hard to say anything else, but in terms of game operations, especially client game operations, we definitely have an advantage."
Coupled with the quality of "Nine Yin Manual", I want to surpass "Tianya Mingyue Sword".
It is true that it is not difficult.
"Then it's settled, let's contact the development company of "Nine Yin Manual" as soon as possible." The second master was very decisive.
"good!"
Renyu glanced at Lu Jian and said nothing more.
How could Lu Jian be afraid?
Recently, he has single-handedly promoted the strategic cooperation between Tenda and Qiandu, successfully cut the map and search business, and at the same time strengthened the layout of the local life service track.
Lu Jian’s position in Tenda is once again solid, so what’s there to fear?
In contrast, Tenda's gaming and social networking businesses are still losing ground. Even Renyu's tough words can't change the fact that his performance is declining rapidly.
What can you argue with him about?
In the workplace, strength ultimately speaks for itself.
Noticing the overt and covert fighting between the two senior executives, a trace of worry flashed in Erye's eyes. The senior executives were fighting among themselves, which was not a good sign for a large company.
It is often a sign of disintegration from within.
"Can it be said that Tengda's development has really gone downhill and is unable to recover?"
