Chapter 378: Acquisition of Japan Storage, Germination wins another victory, its a sensation!
Sprout's big move in Luzhou not only shocked many cities, but also dropped a blockbuster in the industry. With its unrivaled strength, it shocked some peers.
Tenda Building.
Compared with the previous week, the atmosphere in the office has returned to solemnity again, or it has returned to normal.
No one expected that Mo Ya would use such a shocking way to defeat cleverness with sheer force, and in the midst of impossibility, he would forcefully cut his way out and complete the layout of domestic software.
"Making mobile phones is really profitable." Lu Jian's words were a bit sour.
"It's very profitable."
On this point, Rengyu rarely reached an agreement with Lu Jian, "As far as I know, within the Buya series, the profits of the mobile phone business have completely surpassed the game business and become the largest profit pillar of Buya."
This is actually more sour.
Because as early as a few months ago, the game profits of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment had surpassed Tenda Games.
This is not just mobile game revenue.
Instead, all revenue from mobile games, stand-alone games, competitive games, and game agents are added together. Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, which was founded less than three years ago, has kicked Tenda Games off its throne in one fell swoop.
Ridiculously true!
"Boss, can we also enter the mobile phone field?" Lu Jian suggested.
"Isn't it too late to make a mobile phone now?"
The second master raised his eyebrows and refused.
Not to mention overseas brands such as Pingguo and Sanxing, in China alone, there are many brands such as Maili, Xiaomi, Warwick, OV, Meibao, HTC, etc., which has long been a red ocean.
Where are the opportunities for latecomers?
"I heard that Mei Dao has not been doing well recently and almost fell into a loss. Is it possible to consider it?"
Lu Jian obviously did not act without aim.
"You mean to complete the layout of the mobile phone business through investment or even the acquisition of Mei Yao?" The second master's eyes were deep, "If Mei Yao can't even succeed, can we succeed if we join?"
"Uh, this..."
Lu Jian stopped talking. He didn't dare to make a guarantee.
In itself, Tenda is a pure Internet company, and it relies on the social link to become stronger and bigger, and it has strong limitations.
Not good at other areas.
Otherwise, we would not have the pain to sell our search, map, e-commerce and other businesses.
Compared with Internet businesses such as search and e-commerce, although the mobile phone industry is closely related to the Internet, it belongs to the manufacturing industry after all, and it is a cross-domain industry.
It's definitely not something Tenda can play around with.
No matter how confident Mr. Er is, he will not be blindly optimistic in this area.
Of course, there is an anomaly here, that is, the sprout that has risen like a whirlwind has easily realized the cross-domain transition from the Internet industry to the manufacturing industry, and is doing a pretty good job.
Just envious.
Sometimes, even the second master had to admire Zhang Shuo's entrepreneurial talent.
It’s really a toss-up!
In addition to cross-industry concerns, for Tengda, the capital chain itself is already stretched thin, and there is simply not enough funds to acquire Meiying.
Unless you are financing in the stock market.
And Tengda's stock price has been tepid in the past six months. How could the second master take risks easily?
"It's better not to be too greedy and concentrate on our main business."
Strategic contraction is the core business strategy set by Tenda. How can the second master change it easily?
"The core question now is, how did the sea-fixing pearl fall down in the game..."
Speaking of this, the second master glanced at Renyu without leaving any trace, and then changed his words and said: "Before it gets rusty, find new profit growth points and continue to maintain high revenue growth."
He was used to Rengyu's expressionless expression.
"Then let me talk first."
Lu Jian also glanced at Renyu and analyzed: "In the large entertainment sector, online literature can barely maintain a balance of payments. Other long-form video, music, animation and other businesses will suffer losses in the long run due to copyright procurement."
And it was a big loss.
Especially in the field of long videos, the competitive landscape of the three giants Tenda, Ali, and Qiandu has been finalized. In the past year, film and television copyright fees have risen like a rocket.
The most direct result is that Jiawei Culture makes a lot of money.
Who can I talk to to reason with you?
It was only then that the many high-quality IP copyrights held by Jiawei Culture were well known to the industry and their potential value was realized. Unfortunately, it was too late.
A slightly better IP has long been acquired by Jiawei Culture.
Jiawei Culture, which holds massive high-quality IP copyrights, and the top domestic TV drama production team, has become a super dark horse in the film and television industry, with the potential to reach the top.
If it goes on the market, it will definitely be a hit.
According to Xu Jia’s feedback, Tenda, Ali, and Qiandu have all been in contact with Jiawei Culture in the past six months, and they want to indirectly achieve the effect of binding with Jiawei Culture by investing in Jiawei Culture.
Under Zhang Shuo's instruction, Xu Jia naturally kept the three giants interested and was waiting for a price.
It's still far from the time to sell it at a good price.
"In the local life service sector, food delivery subsidies are still in progress. If we want to get involved in the shared bicycle business, it will only require more financial support. In the short term, it is difficult to say that we will achieve profitability."
Yes, another big pit.
"The investment sector is doing well overall, but because it cannot be cashed out in a short period of time, it is only a paper profit at present and cannot bring real cash income."
The beard was cut off by the sprout, and the mildew was eliminated. The beard was cut off by the wind and thunder fund, and the slow hand, Zhihu, etc. were cut off.
This life.
Compared with the original time and space, Tengda's investment landscape is destined to eclipse.
“The real large-scale profits mainly include the advertising revenue of Tengda News and the Internet financial business of Caifutong, but to be honest, the profitability level is currently very average.”
After analyzing it, Lu Jian's expression became increasingly weird.
After taking a careful inventory, I discovered that what supports Tenda to continue moving forward is the two major businesses of gaming and social networking, which have low morale. They are still Tenda's irreplaceable anchors.
This is also the source of Erye's anxiety.
In order to save some face, Lu Jian continued: "As China's economy continues to take off, the scale of the advertising market will only become larger and larger. The prospects of platforms such as Tengda News in this area are still worth looking forward to."
This is indeed true.
In the original time and space, even Ali was reduced to the largest advertising company. Even the rising star character jump was essentially monetizing traffic one by one through advertising.
Otherwise, the free one is the most expensive.
"Therefore, I suggest that Tenda's various apps should appropriately add some advertising spaces, such as open-screen ads, top ads, embedded ads, smart push ads, etc."
“Do we also need to increase advertising space for both ICQ and WeChat apps?”
Rengyu is somewhat resistant. In terms of user experience, the increasingly bloated ICQ is no longer as good as Weixin. If more ads are placed, it is tantamount to poisoning.
"of course yes!"
Lu Jian has his own considerations, "ICQ and WeChat are the two apps with the largest traffic under the group, especially ICQ. Just by placing advertisements in Moments, the revenue is very considerable. There are also open-screen advertisements and smart push notifications."
Advertising, public account advertising, etc. can definitely bring about substantial growth in advertising revenue.”
"Adding so many ads will affect the user experience, right?" Renyu frowned even more.
"There will definitely be some impact."
Lu Jian did not deny it, "However, it is the lesser of two powers that harm each other. Compared with the generous advertising revenue, it is definitely worth sacrificing a little bit of user experience."
"These two softwares are free to use. They are all in vain. Clicking on the advertisements is not too much, right?"
"You don't want to say that the group will not be able to monetize its social business in the long term, right? There is essentially no difference between selling traffic portals and direct advertising, right?"
"this…"
Now that the talk has come to this point, Renyu really doesn’t have the confidence to refuse.
"Then increase the advertising space and use advertising business as an important driver of the group's revenue growth." The second master made the final decision. He also did not reject advertising.
"In addition to advertising business, Internet finance is actually a huge treasure."
Lu Jian was even more excited after receiving the second master's approval, "As far as I know, Ahli is far ahead of us in this area, and its scale is more than a hundred times ours."
"What do you mean, increase leverage?" Er Ye's eyes narrowed.
"Yes."
Lu Jian did not shy away from it, "This is the most direct and effective way. It's just like lying down and counting money."
"Weizhong Bank can't get through, right?"
The second master is actually moved.
However, because WeBank was jointly founded by Tengda, Buya, and Pingmin, Buya controls compliance very strictly, leaving little room for maneuver.
Lu Jian naturally understood it and said with a smile: "Looking back now, Weizhong Bank actually did more harm than good to us. It was more like a restriction on our Internet financial business by Germination."
This sounds a bit like a conspiracy theory.
"What do you mean?"
The second master's question seemed more like encouragement.
"I suggest that you simply withdraw from WeBank. It's okay not to withdraw, but you should follow Ali's example and establish an independent Internet financial company to operate this business alone."
To put it bluntly, it is to make a cut with Weizhong Bank and bypass supervision.
"Okay, you are responsible for executing it."
The second master was also forced to the wall, and he had to give an explanation to the board of directors.
Make money, don’t be shabby!
………
Ahri Headquarters.
The uncle is also in a very unhappy mood. He only mocked Mo Ya last week and was slapped in the face this week.
Compared with the 100-billion-dollar investment drama that Moya launched in Luzhou, the Benniao Network project that made the uncle very proud before seemed a bit unmanageable.
And if we analyze it from a realistic perspective.
With the start of construction of Pinxixi Group's Luzhou Modern Logistics Park, Qingfeng Logistics has started building three modern logistics parks in less than half a year, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge to Benniao Network.
It is impossible to say there is no pressure.
"Grudge, a powerful enemy!"
Facing an alien like Zhang Shuo, who is as wise as an old man, I don't feel a headache.
There was a hint of regret in my heart.
"In the beginning, shouldn't we have had a tense relationship with Zhang Shuo because of Big Brother?"
What a loss!
Originally, the relationship between Ah Li and Mo Ya was very good, but now it has become like this.
This is what happened!
………
Ahri and Tengda's reactions were quite normal, but Xiaomi and his ilk couldn't find any other emotion to express their feelings besides real-name envy.
Of course, there are also some yin and yang weird ones.
"No matter how generous the investment in Sprout is, it is nothing more than trying to seduce China. Unlike some people, as a world-renowned company, it should be the target of Chinese entrepreneurs to imitate."
"Actively participating in the global division of labor and strengthening international cooperation is the way to go!"
"The sprout seems to be prosperous, but it wastes precious funds, public resources, talents, etc. on unpromising domestic software, chip foundry and other fields. It is really a waste of resources!"
"Inaction is also a kind of evil."
"A large part of Sprout's income comes from the game business, and the game makes profits by harming young people. It is really not that smart and should not be overly pursued."
"For Zhang Shuo to become the idol of young people is the greatest tragedy of this era!"
With such dense and uniform remarks, it is hard to believe that there is no one behind the scenes.
The motivation is also easy to guess.
As Germination accelerates its layout in the field of computer accessories, it is afraid that someone's cake will be tampered with.
Can you not be anxious?
It is said that when Jingshi rejected the software industrial park project, someone was behind it.
It can be seen that he is calm on the outside but anxious on the inside.
Especially people like Xinjingbao, who couldn't help but stand up and express their connotations, "Luzhou is gambling hugely, taking the vital interests of tens of millions of people in Luzhou and even the southern province of Hunan.
wisdom."
"The game is poisonous, Germination should reflect on itself!!!"
It's a pity that Sprout has now taken over the general trend. In the face of the general trend, all the slander and abuse can no longer shake the foundation of Sprout. They are just amusing themselves in their own circle.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Once you get out of the circle, you will be scolded bloody.
………
Monday, March 11th.
As the weekend passed, no matter whether it was praised or criticized, although the news of Bu Ya's investment in Luzhou was still being discussed, the popularity has dropped a lot compared to the initial popularity, and it is no longer the focus of the entire network.
In the world of the Internet, perhaps the most indispensable thing is hot spots.
And on this day.
Dream Fund, Daosui Group and Yueli Group attended the press conference and signed a three-party investment acquisition agreement in front of the global media.
Regulation--
Dream Fund, an acquisition consortium formed by Daosui Group, will complete the acquisition of Japan Storage Storage in the form of cash and shares for a total price of US$4.8 billion, setting a record for the world's largest acquisition this year.
After the acquisition is completed.
Dream Fund will hold 48% of the shares of Japan Storage, Daosui Group will hold 42% of the shares of Japan Storage, and Japan Storage Group will still retain 10% of the shares of Japan Storage.
This means that the real total acquisition price is actually US$4.32 billion.
In order to complete this overseas acquisition, Daosui Group, one of the main participants, needed to spend 13 billion in real money in one go, which also set a record for a single acquisition in the Germination Group.
Of course.
As I have said before, signing the investment and acquisition agreement is only the first step. Next, it needs approval from Japan, China and other parties before the acquisition can be truly implemented.
even so.
After the press conference, Germination's name still resounded around the world, and it suddenly became the focus of global attention.
Prior to this, overseas users’ impressions of Buya came more from mobile games owned by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment. Asian users may also have known about Maili X1 launched by Maili Group.
Nothing else.
Because the main business of Germination Group is still in China.
And this time, through this super acquisition, it has demonstrated its budding financial strength to the outside world.
He is a veritable big dog owner.
The statement "Mr. Ya is the world's most valuable unicorn company" subsequently spread on the global Internet, further enhancing Ming Ya's global popularity and status.
"It is said that Zhang Yazhang is less than 27 years old, younger than Xiao Zha, so powerful!"
"I never expected that such an outstanding entrepreneurial star could be born in China. I am truly envious!"
"You don't know, right? Zhang Yazhang is of Korean descent."
"The most important thing is that Sprout Group has not conducted a single financing since its establishment. The only investor is the Dream Fund. It can be called a lucky person in the venture capital circle."
“Dream Fund’s investment in Germinal Group alone is enough to go down in history!”
"Welcome Bu Ya to go public in the beautiful country, support us!"
"You have to come to a beautiful country, otherwise, Sprout cannot be considered a global company."
"I'm curious, when did Mo Ya Zhang become the richest man in Asia?"
"Sooner or later!"
This is real influence.
Apart from anything else, affected by this news, the sales of Maili X1 in the Southeast Asian market have surged again.
Even Wichat couldn't help but stepped forward to stir up the heat, saying that Jiaoyang Holdings, a subsidiary of Germination Group, was also one of its major shareholders and had a deep connection with Weixin.
And in China.
The wave of public opinion that had subsided was naturally stirred up again.
"Let me take a look, Germination is going to heaven."
"It's not just God, it's simply going against heaven!!!"
"Who knows, how much money has Mo Ya made in the past two years? You are a real rich man!"
"I'm going to blow this wave!!!"
"I always feel like someone is driving upstairs, but I can't find any evidence."
"Haha, wasn't a certain company weird before, saying that Germination would only do harm to China? What should I say this time? Isn't it better than a certain company?"
"A certain company: I can't see it, I can't see it!"
"Forget it, forget about that company. Everyone knows it. It's not even worthy of carrying Moya's shoes."
"that is!"
"I look forward to the Maili laptop coming out soon, so that I will have a reason to change my computer."
"We must support it!"
"I'm really excited. After thinking about it carefully, after all the maneuvers and moves that have been made in the past six months, I always feel that King Meng is playing a big game of chess, but I can't see through it, so I can only shout 666."
"What's so unclear about this? The King of Renmeng has announced the standard answer a long time ago, okay? What is the mission of Germination? Isn't it to strive to be the light of the national trend and promote the rise of domestic products?"
"The great god upstairs, worship me!"
"Indeed, the cute king has the self-confidence and ambition of contemporary Chinese young people. He does not lie flat, does not make money, and does not get involved. If he wants to do something, he must do some cool things."
"It has to be. Otherwise, why do you think the cute king became the idol of those born in the 1990s?"
"Those born in the 1980s: Are we not worthy?"
"Stop fighting. The future belongs to us, the post-00s generation."
"Little friend, your mother is telling you to go home and do your homework, be good!!!!"
"Why do I feel that the building is crooked again? Isn't it possible that what we are talking about is sprouting's overseas acquisition?"
"Looking at this situation, Suiya really wants to delve into the semiconductor field, but I don't know if it will transfer related business to Huaxia after acquiring Jili Storage."
This is actually what many cities are most concerned about.
As soon as the news came back to China, cities such as Jingshi, Magic City, Jiangxia, Luzhou, Linxiang, Jianye, Lin'an, Rongcheng, and Shancheng began to show their magical powers.
Through various channels, we tried to get in touch with Sprout as soon as possible and obtain first-hand information.
The core question is——
"Does Suya intend to enter the hard disk storage business? Will the relevant business be transferred to China?"
Because this also involves a very critical issue. In this acquisition of Sunrise Storage, Daosui Group is only one of the participants, and Dream Fund is the largest shareholder of Sunrise Storage.
Therefore.
Under Zhang Shuo's instruction, Daosui Group President Lin Zhengdong, who had just returned from signing the contract and had not had time to rest, held a simple press conference in Jiangxia.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A brief explanation was given regarding this overseas acquisition.
"After the acquisition of Jili Storage, in addition to retaining its business in Japan, the focus of future business expansion, including technology research and development and upgrades in related fields, will be placed in China."
"On this point, Dream Fund is consistent with Daosui Group."
"At the same time, we have also obtained the understanding of the Yue Li Group."
Lin Zhengdong's words were tantamount to removing the biggest obstacle for Daosui Group to deploy its storage business in China. The media invited to the press conference immediately became excited.
"Excuse me, Mr. Lin, does this mean that the hard disk storage business will be a key area of Daosui Group?" A reporter at the scene couldn't help but ask.
"Yes."
Lin Zhengdong did not shy away, "The technical threshold of memory chips is relatively low, and it will be the focus of Daosui Group's research in the semiconductor field. The acquisition of Sunrise Memory is just the beginning."
"In the future, Daosui Group will establish a complete industrial chain from basic research and development, to chip design, to memory chip processing and manufacturing, packaging and testing."
"Wow!!!"
Now, the cities that got the news became even more excited.
Who doesn’t want a piece of the action?
As a result, subsidiaries, branches, and offices that have sprouted all over China have received local calls one after another, and some have even visited in person.
Without exception.
They all expressed their eagerness to reach strategic cooperation with Sprout.
Conditions offered.
Each one is more attractive than the last one.
These cities are not stupid. If they really want to establish a complete industrial chain for storage business as Lin Zhengdong said, it will drive hundreds of billions or even trillions of investment.
In comparison, the bombshell that Germination dropped in Luzhou before seemed a bit unsatisfactory.
Facing such a super project, even if it is as big as the Magic City, we can no longer remain calm.
