Chapter 374 The little secretary wants to resign? Xirang wants to make big moves!
"Oh, by the way, Chairman, I have some good news."
Lu Kai, however, kept a secret.
"explain!"
"Longxin finally responded and said he agreed to accept investment from Daosui Group." Lu Kai reported with a smile.
"very good!"
Zhang Shuo was very excited. In his impression, Longxin was listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board in 2022. It rose 48% on that day, and its market value reached more than 350 billion. It is an absolute potential stock.
Of course.
When Mei Ya invested in Long Xin, it was definitely not because of this, but because he wanted to give money to Long Xin.
If you really care about return on investment, Longxin's size really doesn't rank high.
"The valuation of Longxin can be set appropriately high, the investment agreement can be implemented as soon as possible, and at the same time, we promise not to interfere with Longxin's daily operations regardless of the amount of shares held by Sprout."
The original time and space Long Xin could not do without that soul figure, Zhang Shuo did not want to point fingers.
"Ah? Oh, okay!"
Lu Kai's expression was strange. I had never heard of someone deliberately making a high valuation.
But as a celebrity around Zhang Shuo, he can probably guess the big boss's intention, which is nothing more than to support local innovation and research and development in another way.
It can be said that it is well-intentioned.
"The investment in Lijing Group must also be implemented as soon as possible. It is best to sign the investment agreement before I go to see Liang Song. At the same time, the decision to jointly form a new company shall be announced to the outside world." Zhang Shuo ordered.
"clear."
Lu Kai smiled and wrote it down, then stood up and left.
………
After leaning a little, Gu Mingzhang knocked on the door again and came in.
"congratulations!"
Zhang Shuo congratulated him and asked Gu Mingzhang to sit down on the sofa with a smile.
"Chairman, I don't dare to take this responsibility. The achievement of Maili x1 today is all due to the blueprint you drew up. I am just the executor." Gu Mingzhang's attitude was very low.
"You're humble, aren't you?"
Compared with his previous sharpness, Zhang Shuo's sharpness is now restrained, as if he has returned to the innocent young man who was inexperienced in the world, but he can actually put invisible pressure on people.
Just like Gu Mingzhang now.
Even though he was already considered a giant in the business world, he never dared to relax in front of Zhang Shuo.
"Chairman, according to your previous plan, Maili Group will take the lead in entering the tablet computer market. Recently, in addition to the mobile phone division and software division, it has officially established a tablet division. The design of the first generation tablet is in progress.
It is expected to be released simultaneously with Maili x1."
Gu Mingzhang was very smart and didn't get too entangled and started reporting on his work.
"In terms of time, is it too late?" Zhang Shuo asked.
As usual, the MaiLi x2 is scheduled to be released in September this year and will start shipping in mid-to-late September. The design of the MaiLi x2 was finalized as early as last year.
Zhang Shuo also specially participated in technical seminars.
"It's enough time."
Gu Mingzhang explained with a smile, "With the experience in R&D and design of MaiLi x1, the design of the first generation MaiLi tablet can be traced, and there is basically no need to add any new suppliers."
A tablet, to put it bluntly, is an enlarged version of a mobile phone.
The two have a lot in common.
For example, the first-generation MaiLi tablet uses the mili system as its operating system, the Zhulong chip as its chip, and most of its spare parts are the same as the MaiLi mobile phone.
It's very easy to do.
It is no wonder that after the sales of smartphones peaked, domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Warwick, Xiaomi, and OV have entered the tablet and notebook computer market one after another.
In essence, we are following the path that Pingguo has already taken.
In this area, there is no doubt that Maili Group will take another step forward, or even two or three steps.
"Just have faith."
Seeing that Gu Mingzhang was confident, Zhang Shuo stopped asking questions, obviously trusting Gu Mingzhang.
"Daosui Group acquired Jing Jiawei and invested in AMD, Lijing Group, and Longxin. The investments have been basically settled. I think the notebook computer business can almost be started. At least, at least.
We must first form a R&D and design team within Maili Group.”
Zhang Shuo was talking about another business.
"OK."
Gu Mingzhang was very moved, feeling impressed by the big boss's vigorous and decisive actions.
At the end of last year, we decided to enter the computer market. In a blink of an eye, we have basically completed our layout in this field, which is really amazing.
In the eyes of outsiders, decisions need to be made carefully, but when it comes to the big boss, it is easy.
It's as if every step has been calculated.
No need for any hesitation.
It’s no wonder that from beginning to end, Big Boss has been the indispensable soul figure for Germination.
Bullshit!!!
"There is a problem now. According to the current progress, the research and development of Xinlang operating system is obviously far behind our layout in the hardware field." Gu Mingzhang expressed his concerns.
"Is there any solution?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"The only thing I can think of now is to dismantle the research and development of the Xirang operating system."
"How to dismantle it?"
Zhang Shuo became interested immediately.
"The previous idea was to have the Xirang operating system in place in one step. Once it comes out, it can match various hardware such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and wearable devices."
"But this requires an extremely long research and development cycle."
"The so-called dismantling is actually to divide the Xinran operating system into the research and development of the underlying basic parts and the research and development of the surface application parts."
"The underlying R&D still follows the logic of connecting everything and adopts a microkernel architecture to ensure that the foundation of the Xinran operating system remains unchanged. It is indeed a future-oriented operating system."
"The surface R&D follows a modular R&D route and is divided into three major sectors: mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, wearable devices and other hardware."
"These three major sectors are independent of each other and can be integrated with each other in the future."
"After dismantling, four parallel R&D teams can be established at the same time, which not only reduces the difficulty of R&D, but also increases the speed of R&D. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Gu Mingzhang explained in great detail.
"very good."
Zhang Shuo was very pleased.
This proves that even without his strategic leadership, the Germination Department is already a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and there are many strong men descended from the sky who can overcome all obstacles for the development of Germination.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Who came up with this method?" Zhang Shuo was very curious.
"It's Xue Tao."
"Okay, I want to commend Xue Tao. I admire this disassembly plan and look forward to the Xirang operating system being released as soon as possible." Zhang Shuo smiled.
"I will definitely bring Chairman your praise to me."
Gu Mingzhang was also in a happy mood and revealed another piece of information.
"By the way, Chairman, there is something I want to report to you. Recently I got news that Factory H has quietly changed several suppliers. The most bizarre thing is that the suppliers that were replaced were the same ones who cooperated with us in the first place.
, those companies that put pressure on Factory H. They all came to me to complain."
"oh?"
Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows and said, "So, Factory H may have made some big moves recently? This is to take precautions in advance and worry about being threatened by us again."
"I am also worried about this. Factory H has just held a new phone launch conference. It is said that the company has placed a lot of high hopes on this new model and regards it as a turnaround."
No one expected it.
When Sprout invaded the smartphone market, the first serious enemy it made was not Pingguo or Sanxing, but H Factory, which had never been thought of before.
It's really sad.
"Stand still for now. I want to see what kind of disturbance Factory H can cause."
Zhang Shuo was very calm.
Because he had opened his prophetic eyes, he knew that Factory H was just a paper tiger.
It won’t be a big deal!
Strategically contemptuous, but tactically, Zhang Shuo had to pay attention. After sending Gu Mingzhang away, he specifically called Li Feng, "Please contact the private detective to check the information on 'Bombing Inward'."
"OK."
Although Zhang Shuo's instructions were strange, Li Feng was very professional and didn't ask any questions at all.
Just stick to it.
Zhang Shuo also wanted to lay out a secret move in advance.
As for whether it will be used in the future or not, it all depends on what Factory H does in the future.
In order to promote the new mobile phone, Factory H owes a popular artist to "Boom", which is to use the popularity and popularity of "Boom" to enhance the brand awareness of Factory H.
The two are tied very deeply.
But once a thunderstorm hits, although the H plant can be cut, it will definitely be splashed with mud.
It’s enough for Factory H to drink a pot.
………
As soon as Li Feng left, Jiang Yue walked in.
no way.
At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed. Zhang Shuo must have a lot to report as soon as he goes to work.
It's not enough to just submit a briefing.
Moreover, this kind of face-to-face reporting is actually an interaction with the big boss Zhang Shuo for Jiang Yue and other executives to deepen their relationship with the big boss.
Who says big guys don’t play tricks in the workplace?
Every big boss is a master in the workplace, but they just don't show it to their subordinates.
But don’t think that if all the big bosses don’t do anything and then give birth to the illusion that “I can do it myself”, then the job will be overturned.
"Chairman, the overall landscape design plan for the industrial park has been revised. Would you like to take a look again?"
Jiang Yue came in with a pile of drawings.
"OK!"
After meeting with Lu Kai, Gu Mingzhang, and Zhang Shuo, their bodies were not tired, but their minds were a little tight.
Just in time to relax.
Although his conversations with senior executives may seem casual, every conversation is not only a collision of information, intelligence, and thinking, but also tests Zhang Shuo's decisiveness.
Why do senior executives rush to report door-to-door? Isn’t it because they can’t make up their minds?
Arrive at Zhang Shuo.
It seems that the conclusion has been reached lightly, but who knows how much homework Zhang Shuo has done behind this?
Not to mention anything else, just to keep abreast of the company's latest developments, no matter how busy or tired he is every day, he has to spare at least two hours to check various emails.
In order to understand the trends of the industry, the number of research reports that can be read can fill an entire room.
In the Binhai University library, where the eyes of the sprouting staff could not reach, Zhang Shuo could not count how many professional books he had read.
How many brain cells were killed on the tree-lined trail?
No one's success can be achieved casually or easily.
Even if it is turned on.
If there really is such success, it can only prove one thing. That kind of so-called success is by no means the success of the protagonist, but just playing the role of a tool.
is hung on success.
The system that Zhang Shuo awakened obviously did not have such a nanny function, and was terribly crude.
The revised landscape design has indeed fully implemented the "down-to-earth" instructions proposed by Zhang Shuo. Various fruit trees can be seen everywhere, and small patches of vegetable plots have been cultivated everywhere.
What's even more amazing is.
There is even a public beach along the coast, where you can swim, surf, sunbathe, and have beachside barbecues at any time. It is so relaxing.
See this.
Zhang Shuo smiled and instructed: "Let's just buy a small yacht in the name of Sprout Real Estate and dock it at the dock. If the employees need it, they can go fishing at any time."
"Uh, is this too much pampering?"
Jiang Yue's eyes flickered, obviously she didn't mean what she said, and she herself was tempted.
"The budding profits are created by the team, so it is appropriate to pamper him a little." Zhang Shuo has never been a stingy boss.
Even though he doesn't even have a private yacht himself.
Unlike a certain uncle who had everything arranged for him like a yacht, a mansion, golf, etc. after his retirement, he transformed from a simple rural teacher into a so-called celebrity.
Who can believe this?
In addition to these small changes, there are also more bold designs, which are to build sky gardens one after another on the roofs of several other multi-story buildings based on the rooftop gardens of the Youth Apartment.
Of course you can also grow vegetables.
We are determined to build the Germination Industrial Park into a model of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
"Yes, let's implement it according to this design."
After Zhang Shuo saw it, he was very satisfied. The designer was professional after all. Not only did he meet all his previous ideas, but he even exceeded expectations in many places.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay."
Jiang Yue smiled and put away the drawings and reported another piece of news: "Chairman, there is news from the capital that the two projects of Smart Classroom and Yanhuang Electronic Library have completed the approval process and can be implemented."
"This is a good thing."
Zhang Shuo called out to the Minister of Rites, who indeed kept his word.
He is indeed a practical person.
"The Chunmiao Fund must provide absolute financial support. If technically necessary, we can also arrange for connection with the technology center." Zhang Shuo was very attentive.
"clear."
Jiang Yue smiled and nodded, "It's the capital. They want to invite you to attend the press conference in the capital."
"Just go."
Zhang Shuo is also following the trend now and has long been no longer shy about showing his face in public.
You still have to participate in the activities that you should participate in.
In a civilized country like China, it is probably difficult to be a hidden master.
"In addition to funding these two major projects, does the Spring Miao Fund have any other plans for this year?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"The main thing is to continue the work rhythm of last year."
Jiang Yue reported with a smile: "Including funding for the library of Eastern University of Science and Technology, and then the annual Spring Seedling Scholarship, Fertile Soil Award, and donations to Hope Primary School, school buildings, playgrounds, libraries, etc."
"Well, we can also consider funding some special groups this year."
As the financial strength of Sprout Group becomes stronger, its investment in public welfare will naturally have to keep up.
"For example, care for the disabled, funding for welfare homes and nursing homes, funding for poor students in mountainous areas, etc. We need to make the work more detailed, deeper, and more humane."
"Chairman, you are really kind-hearted." Jiang Yue was really impressed.
"It's passed."
Zhang Shuo waved his hand, "Compared with the huge official investment in this area, ours is just a drop in the bucket at best, not even the icing on the cake, so don't give me any more high praise."
This is the truth.
It's just that many people are used to the large official investment and think it is natural. On the contrary, they pay more attention to the charitable actions of the rich and famous people.
Hold some kind of charity night, the celebrity didn't spend a dime, not only got exposure, but also gained a good reputation.
What a good calculation.
But they deceive some crazy men and women into thinking that their idols are very caring.
In fact, it's just a show.
"By the way, after the rotation of middle management positions last year, the headquarters must follow up and track in real time. If necessary, they can conduct dynamic inspections of the organization. They cannot just change things." Zhang Shuo warned.
"Don't worry."
As the executive vice president in charge of administration, this is Jiang Yue's job. "Ahem, Chairman, there is one thing that I think it is necessary to talk to you about."
"What is it? You're hemming and hawing." Zhang Shuo was very surprised.
"It's Director Xiaowan. After he came back to work, he mentioned to me that he planned to resign from Sprout."
"Um?"
Zhang Shuo's eyes widened for a moment, showing how surprised he was, and he frowned and said, "Why do you want to resign?"
"She said she was going to open a bar and realize her life dream." Jiang Yue also had a headache.
"Play the piano randomly!"
It was rare that Zhang Shuo could not hold back and criticize someone like this.
Chen Xiaowan likes disco dancing in bars. This is something that everyone knows, but Zhang Shuo never expected that this girl would be so hot-headed that she wanted to quit her job and open a bar.
Isn't it just nonsense?
I don’t know how many people would be jealous of the position of Director of the President’s Office of Sprout Group.
Did you give up so easily?
"It seems that the group's welfare benefits are so good that some people's wings have become hardened."
"Then, shall I have a good talk with Director Xiaowan?"
Although Zhang Shuo's tone was still gentle, Jiang Yue smelled a hint of coldness in it.
I couldn't help but shudder.
"I'd better talk to her in person."
Zhang Shuo's eyes softened again. After all, Chen Xiaowan was the first employee he recruited, his first confidant, and she had always been loyal to him.
He is not a cold machine, after all, he has some emotions.
"good."
Jiang Yue realized what was going on and said no more, stood up and left.
………
Lu Qi, the rotating president, was the last one to come in and report.
"Chairman, the investigation report on the preparation of the software industrial park and the development status of domestic software has been released." This has been Lu Qi's top priority in the past month.
Finally it was completed on schedule.
"Okay, please introduce the general situation first."
Zhang Shuo took the report, flipped through it, and listened to Lu Qi's face-to-face report.
"Application software can be roughly divided into industrial software, office software, multimedia software, business software and analysis software. Among them, the well-known and core software are basically overseas software."
"Domestic software is available, but the competitiveness is really not high."
This is also because China has not done enough in the area of intellectual property protection, making it easy for users to obtain pirated software at almost zero cost.
This also leads to the serious lack of motivation for users to use domestically produced genuine software.
"After evaluation, in order to promote the comprehensive rise of domestic software, the cumulative investment required will not be less than 150 billion. This is still the most conservative estimate."
"If we only focus on industrial software, the related investment will not be less than 50 billion."
"The investment is not low."
Zhang Shuo also secretly smacked his tongue, even with Germination's current strength, he still couldn't withstand it.
"yes."
Lu Qi analyzed and said: "To promote this matter, the local government needs to make great determination and courage to act as the main force of subsidies. Otherwise, we alone cannot accomplish the designation."
"We can't leave all the pressure to the officials."
Zhang Shuo waved his hand, "We ourselves also need to think of ways to share some of it."
"yes."
Lu Qi did not refute, "My suggestion is to set up a software industry development support fund. In addition to the investment from Germination, we also invite friends from the Mobile Phone Association to participate?"
"In other words, if we expand the scope further, the entire business district will be mobilized."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is a direction that we can work hard on."
Zhang Shuo smiled and nodded, "In this way, you are responsible for setting up a big framework first. If there are people who can't handle it, I need to come forward personally. We will discuss it in detail then."
With his current status, he still has some appeal in the business district.
"That would be perfect."
Lu Qi was also very excited and continued to report with a smile: "As for the location of the software industrial park, after investigation and analysis, Jingshi is the most suitable. I just don't know if Jingshi is interested."
"That's just right. I'm going to the capital on a business trip in two days. Let's discuss this together."
Although Zhang Shuo had mentioned the matter of the Software Industrial Park to his second uncle before, and his second uncle had also expressed his opinion, he still hoped not to cause any additional trouble to his second uncle.
If the capital is willing to cooperate, that would be great.
In addition to financial investment, the software industrial park also requires a large number of software development talents, and the capital is undoubtedly the place with the highest concentration of talents in China.
none of them.
Moreover, the business atmosphere in Beijing is not bad. If the related companies settled in the software industrial park develop well, they can also find new investors or investment institutions in Beijing.
Although Sprout says it wants to participate, it will only make angel round and A round investments, and will not be able to participate in subsequent financing.
otherwise.
Just investing in the software industry together can drain all the budding funds.
You also need to make good use of other capital.
"Then I will work overtime to prepare more relevant information." Lu Qi was very smart.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Zhang Shuo picked up the tea cup and sent Lu Qi away with a smile.
………
After handling the major affairs of the group, Zhang Shuo stood up, stretched his muscles, and then handed Dai Yutong, the administrative secretary from outside, in, "Go and ask Director Xiaowan to come to my office."
"OK."
Dai Yutong's eyes flickered slightly. As Chen Xiaowan's best friend, she also knew some inside information.
