Chapter 370 The acquisition encountered obstacles again, the new year is approaching, and Zhang Shuo has become the mascot!
Thinking about the loan, Zhang Shuo went to see his second uncle on the weekend.
Tang Yu is here too!
Tang Yu, who was extremely outspoken in front of Zhang Shuo, became a good girl when it came to her second uncle.
As per the old rules, Zhang Shuo first reported to his second uncle the next step of the business plan, including entering the computer market, laying out domestic software, preparing to build a software industrial park, etc.
The second uncle listened very seriously and said with a smile: "Look at this situation, Germination is going to subvert a new industry again."
"I hope so."
Zhang Shuo was very modest, "This is not something that can be accomplished by the Mo Ya family alone."
"Good boy!"
Tang Yi nodded to Zhang Shuo, "When Mei Ya comes up with a plan, Lingnan will definitely have an attitude."
Tang Yi has great trust in Zhang Shuo's far-sightedness and is willing to take this opportunity to do something conscientious and help solve some difficult problems in the industry.
As the two of them chatted, they talked about the loan issue.
"How much loan support is needed this time?"
Tang Yi is still supportive of budding overseas acquisitions, especially if the acquisition is a high-tech enterprise. If it succeeds, it will definitely be of great benefit.
“Ten billion is never too little, and twenty billion is never too much.”
Zhang Shuo, on the other hand, opened his mouth like a lion.
Billions of dollars of funding are no longer critical to the current embryonic development.
"How dare you mention it."
Tang Yi smiled and shook his head, "Lingnan can provide up to 10 billion bank loans for the budding department."
As a super giant that originated from Binhai City and is in a period of rapid development, Moya should receive support from Binhai City and Lingnan.
A loan of 10 billion is not special.
These are all routine operations.
Like Tengda in the original time and space, total assets in 2021 were 1.6 trillion, and interest-bearing liabilities such as loans and long-term bills were as high as 300 billion, not including 150 billion in other liabilities.
Compare the two.
The budding balance sheet is already too healthy.
"Thank you, uncle."
Zhang Shuo is also very satisfied with being able to get a loan of 10 billion.
………
The next week was relatively calm overall.
On Friday, January 18, Cai Miaomiao finished the last exam of "College Physics" and officially ended her first semester of college life, but she was not in a hurry to go home.
Because in addition to being a college student, she is also the CEO of Meow Meow Bicycle.
I just happened to be taking advantage of the winter vacation to work with the R&D team to tackle key problems and strive to launch the first batch of shared bicycles at Binhai University after the semester starts next spring.
During this period.
Cai Miaomiao occupied the magpie's nest and moved into Zhang Shuo's university apartment near Binhai University.
Before that, Zhang Shuo had already gone on winter vacation.
At the postgraduate stage, especially the second year of graduate school, his time is very free.
The next day is Laba Festival.
Gu Xiaoxi drank Laba porridge with Zhang Shuo, and the next day she packed her bags and returned to her hometown in southern Sichuan. She had to accompany her grandma to clean up, buy new year's goods, and prepare for the Spring Festival.
Zhang Shuo became a loner again.
Only Chen Lu, a little fairy, comes to give me warmth every now and then.
………
On Sunday morning, Zhang Shuo suddenly received a call from Zhu Yuhan, inviting him to attend the annual meeting of Yuhan Clothing House.
"The annual meeting is held so early?"
Zhang Shuo was very surprised that Germination's annual meeting was scheduled for next month.
Still early.
"This is the first annual meeting since the establishment of Yuhan Clothing House." Zhu Yuhan explained with a smile.
"Then you guys are having fun, so I won't join in the fun." Zhang Shuo declined.
Not familiar!
"No, you have to come. I have made a promise to the staff that I will definitely be able to invite a great person like you. If you don't come, wouldn't I be embarrassed?" Zhu Yuhan was anxious.
"Are you going to play this trick with me?"
Zhang Shuo was not fooled and was completely unmoved, "Just be embarrassed if you're embarrassed. It's not me who's embarrassed anyway."
"Zhang Shuo!!!"
Through the phone, Zhang Shuo could hear the sound of Zhu Yuhan grinding his teeth.
"Yuhan Clothing House was founded under your guidance after all, and selling yoga pants was also your idea. You have half of the credit for the company's success. If you don't come, what's going on?"
Okay, let’s start playing the emotional card.
"If you really remember my contribution, then give me a big red envelope. I won't mind." Zhang Shuo, on the other hand, was not afraid of boiling water and refused to accept the offer at all.
"Ting!!!"
Zhu Yuhan almost broke his guard and said through gritted teeth: "You really don't want to come?"
"No time!"
"Then I will go to your company tomorrow and give you a love lunch." Zhu Yuhan also went all out.
"No! Isn't it okay if I go?"
Zhang Shuo had a headache. He believed that this crazy bitch was really capable of doing this.
"That's pretty much it."
On the other end of the phone, Zhu Yuhan smiled like a fox.
………
At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Shuo arrived at the meeting on time.
Before leaving, he specifically told Li Feng, who was accompanying him, "No matter what happens later, you must send me back to the apartment safely. You can't let anyone take advantage of you. Do you understand?"
He always felt that this girl Zhu Yuhan had no good intentions.
"clear!"
Li Feng agreed with a strange look on his face and followed the boss in. His eyes immediately widened.
Yuhan Clothing House was originally a small company, with only about thirty employees, and most of them were young female employees.
The annual meeting did not choose a large banquet hall, but booked a super large box.
It's more like a karaoke party.
The most amazing thing is that these girls are all wearing yoga pants customized by Yuhan Clothing Company, and their upper bodies are dressed in various cosplay costumes, such as little rabbits, little foxes, and flower fairies.
"Gudong!"
Li Feng swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice: "Boss, I'll wait for you outside."
"good!"
Zhang Shuo also looked strange and muttered to himself: "Sure enough, this is not a serious annual meeting."
Three hours later.
Zhang Shuo had been drugged into a daze, but he still retained the last trace of consciousness. Before he fell asleep completely, he called Li Feng who was guarding the door and was helped away by Li Feng.
"Hey~~~"
Zhu Yuhan couldn't hide his disappointment when he saw that Zhang Shuo could still go home even though he was so drunk.
This girl really has no good intentions.
………
Monday, January 21st.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Due to a night of hangover, it was already past ten in the morning when Zhang Shuo woke up.
I simply didn’t go to the company in the morning.
After going to work in the afternoon, Zhang Shuo summoned the four senior executives, Lu Qi, Lu Kai, Gu Mingzhang, and Jiang Yue, and held a brief meeting.
Just yesterday, after more than ten days of negotiations, Meiya officially reached an acquisition agreement with all Jing Jiawei's shareholders to fully acquire Jing Jiawei at a price of 2.5 billion.
The latter will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daosui Group.
So far, Daosui Group, as the main platform for Germination's semiconductor business, already has three subsidiaries, namely Zhulong Technology, which is responsible for mobile phone chip design, Jing Jiawei, who is responsible for graphics card GPU chip design, and Chip Testing and Packaging Business.
Licheng Technology.
At the same time, it also invested in semiconductor companies such as Huaxia Microelectronics, Huaqing Communications, and Chengrui Optics.
In addition, Daosui Group is also spending great efforts to lay out quantum chips. In addition to building a quantum chip laboratory at its headquarters, it will also set up laboratories around the world.
Purpose.
It is to pave the way for new technologies in the next era.
In addition to researching and developing cutting-edge technologies, Daosui Group will also cooperate with major universities and scientific research institutions across the country to set up laboratories and R&D centers to focus on the research and development of semiconductor underlying technologies.
This is called sharpening the knife before chopping wood.
Acquisitions can only build the larger framework of Daosui Group. If it wants to rise, it must work hard to improve its internal strength.
And this internal strength is research and development.
Unknowingly, Daosui Group has developed into a small giant in the semiconductor industry. If it can win Japan Memory again, it will become a veritable semiconductor giant.
It has become the highlight among the many business lines of Germination.
Lu Kai reported: "We, together with the Dream Fund, have made the latest offer for Japan Storage, which raises the total purchase price to US$4.5 billion, and at the same time allows Japan Storage Group to continue to hold 10% of the shares of Japan Storage."
"In the face of a new round of quotations, Japan seems to be willing to raise the price. It has notified Qianbu Data of our quotation and requested Qianbu Data to start the second round of quotation."
Sprout competes with Akane's data, and Ritsu naturally reaps the benefits.
This is also something that can't be helped.
"In other words, the acquisition of Japan Storage will be delayed until the end of the year?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"I'm afraid that's the case." Lu Kai continued to report: "As for Longxin's investment, after the investment and mergers and acquisitions department contacted Longxin, the other party neither refused nor agreed. In a word, I'll wait for a reply."
I guess we will have to wait until next year to find out the answer.
"On the other hand, AMD has been very active in investing in AMD. The question now is, is the investment in AMD only in the name of Daosui Group or the United Dream Fund?" Lu Kai asked for instructions.
"Vote alone."
Since amd is "thirsty for money", Zhang Shuo naturally doesn't mind making a fortune.
"After investing in AMD, can we consider asking Daosui Group to set up a CPU design company and find ways to obtain the technical authorization for the x86 architecture from AMD?" Gu Mingzhang suggested.
"forget it."
Zhang Shuo shook his head and refused, not that he looked down on it, but that even if he obtained the technology license, it would be banned in a few years, which would be a waste of time.
But you can’t do nothing.
"We can consider asking Daosui Group to build a laboratory for CPU research and development, and then send engineers to AMD to exchange and learn."
Technology licensing can cause trouble, but the talents cultivated cannot be taken away.
Zhang Shuo agreed to invest in AMD because he was still greedy for other people's technology. As for future stock price appreciation, which would bring huge investment returns, that was secondary.
"good."
Although Gu Mingzhang didn't understand the meaning, he still followed it.
"Tell me about the recent loan situation." Zhang Shuo looked at Lu Kai again.
"Okay." At the mention of this, Lu Kai became more energetic and said with a smile: "The four banks that Lingnan helped contact have provided a total of 10 billion in one-year loans to the group."
"It also states that as long as the principal and interest of this loan are repaid on schedule, the loan can be continued unconditionally."
It is equivalent to a long-term loan.
"In addition, Ping An also promised to provide a one-year loan of 2 billion."
This is 12 billion.
"In addition, subsidiaries headquartered in other places such as Qingyun Data, Daosui Group, Pinxixi Group, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, Mango Motors, etc. will also apply for local bank loans based on actual conditions."
These are high-quality companies, and more or less they can always apply for some loans.
The difference is that the loans applied by the headquarters of Sprout Group are mainly used for overseas acquisitions, while the bank loans applied by subsidiaries are mainly used to improve their respective cash flows.
"Then, do we still need to issue corporate bonds?" Zhang Shuo smiled.
Apparently happy with the situation.
"My suggestion is that a billion corporate bonds can be issued. In addition to improving the group's cash flow, it also provides a stable investment channel for the group's employees."
One billion in corporate debt is no longer relevant to Sprout, it should be regarded as a kind of employee benefit.
"Then release it."
Zhang Shuo also believes that the more debts, the better.
After talking about the loan, Executive Vice President Jiang Yue mentioned something and said with a smile: "Chairman, as the construction of the Germinal Industrial Park enters the mid-to-late stage, the overall landscape greening plan for the park has also been released."
As he spoke, he projected the ppt on his laptop onto the conference room curtain.
“Beautifully designed.”
This was Zhang Shuo's first impression. After all, he hired a top-notch landscape design company in China.
"One thing is, can some landscape trees be replaced with fruit trees? Such as mango trees, lychee trees, jackfruit trees, orange trees, grapefruit trees, bayberry trees, loquat trees, etc."
"Is it that kind of landscape fruit tree?" Jiang Yue asked.
"No, they are not landscape fruit trees, they are edible fruit trees, preferably high-quality fruit trees. The design concept of the park should be technically high-end, but the supporting facilities should be as down-to-earth as possible."
Zhang Shuo explained.
"Employees spend more than half of their time in the company, especially for the campus, because it covers all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, so it is not just a simple workspace, but a small community."
"Since it is a community, it must have some flavor of life."
This is also Zhang Shuo's selfishness. He doesn't want to turn the campus of Nuo Da into a cold modern steel jungle. It still needs some humanistic care and some fireworks.
And for the Chinese people.
In terms of greening, fruit trees and vegetable gardens are always the favorites deep in our genes.
"Imagine that there are various fruit trees everywhere in the park. When the fruits are ripe, you can pick delicious mangoes, lychees, pipas, and longans easily when you take a walk. Isn't it better than some landscape trees?"
"Well…"
Jiang Yue and others were stunned at first, and then their eyes lit up.
He seems to be looking forward to it too.
"If we just plant fruit trees, will they be destroyed?" Jiang Yue raised her concern.
"I believe that the employees in Germination are all highly qualified."
She will never be like those neighborhood aunts who walk as fast as they can before the bayberries and plums in the neighborhood are ripe, carrying ladders and bamboo poles and plundering all the fruits from the trees.
I would rather take it home, spoil it, and throw it in the trash can than leave it to others.
It's really embarrassing!
"Then, is it possible to consider converting part of the grassland into a vegetable plot and planning it into small plots? Each department will receive a piece of private land to grow vegetables as part of team building?"
What Zhang Shuo said also inspired the vegetable growing talent in Jiang Yue's blood.
"absolutely okay!"
Zhang Shuo smiled and nodded, "The general principle is to make the park more full of life, both science fiction and down-to-earth. In this area, you can seek more suggestions from employees."
He doesn't like Pingguo's so-called lofty global headquarters.
"Vegetables are grown at the end of the universe." Lu Qi and others also joined the discussion with a smile.
It is obvious that even as senior executives, they yearn for this pastoral life in their bones. Even if they have no worries about food and clothing, who can refuse to have a private vegetable plot in the company?
It’s beautiful just thinking about it!
If possible, Zhang Shuo's ideal retirement life in the future would be to become a small farmer, growing vegetables, raising flowers, and raising some chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep.
Facing the Ocean, Spring and Blossom!
………
Next few days.
Zhang Shuo has successively participated in the annual meetings of Wujiang Technology, WALLI Intelligent Manufacturing, and Linde New Energy.
It became a piece of cake in no time.
Wherever he goes, he is the absolute center of attention. Even if he doesn't say anything, he can cause waves.
It is precisely because of this.
Zhang Shuocai was nicknamed the "mascot" by Jiang Yue, and was used to bring the relationship closer to the partners.
There is no one left.
In addition to attending the annual meeting of partners, Zhang Shuo took advantage of the last free period of the year and embarked on a "flying trapeze" journey accompanied by rotating president Lu Qi and director of the president's office Chen Xiaowan.
He successively visited Yangcheng, Magic City, Jiangxia, Jingshi, Rongcheng and other places for inspections.
The so-called inspection is actually just going through the motions, meeting with employee representatives of each subsidiary, taking photos, getting together, and sending holiday greetings in advance.
I also took the time to attend several annual meetings of subsidiaries.
Although it is very formal, after all, Zhang Shuo's identity is here and he is a budding soul figure. His appearance, even if he does nothing, is still very inspiring.
If Zhang Shuo does not visit the subsidiaries below all year round, it will not only make the employees there feel alienated from the group headquarters, but it will also be detrimental to unity.
So even if it is a symbolic inspection, it is valuable.
This is enough!
After all, he is still acting as a mascot.
During the inspection, Zhang Shuo also shouldered another important task, which was to strengthen contacts with various places. Almost everywhere he went, he had to hold one or two meetings with the local municipal government.
When you are busy, you may schedule three sessions a day.
So, even though Zhang Shuo is very relaxed, being a mascot is not that easy, especially for him who doesn't like socializing, it is a huge torment.
If possible, he would rather stay at home alone.
But that's not possible.
There is a saying that goes well: "When you are in the arena, you can't help yourself."
Regardless of any standard, Zhang Shuo is now considered successful, but as the saying goes, with greater ability comes greater responsibility, but he is increasingly unable to speak and act as he pleases.
This can be considered a kind of sadness, although it is very hypocritical.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Shuo cherishes the friendship with a few people such as Tang Yu, Lin Weiwei, Zhu Yuhan, Zheng Zhebin, Cai Miaomiao and so on.
It was only in front of them that Zhang Shuo could take off his disguise and be wild for a while.
"Cherish the people around you!"
Perhaps it was only then that Zhang Shuo finally understood the old man's teachings.
