Chapter 393 The confrontation continues, the three stars secretly attack Chen Cang, and let the rabbit bite the dog!
It's the weekend in a blink of an eye.
On Saturday, Zhang Shuo unexpectedly met his second uncle at Mr. Tang's place. It can be seen that his second uncle is really filial. Even though he has been transferred to Yangcheng to work, he often visits the old man on weekends.
In comparison, Zhang Shuo felt like a bastard.
"Will Germination's pursuit of Sanxing continue?" Tang Yi asked with a smile.
"It's a bit too much to talk about chasing and killing? Mo Ya is a serious victim."
What Zhang Shuo said is true.
Although after Sanxing and Goryeo surrendered successively, Moya won the judicial lawsuit regarding the smashing of the store and the clerk, but after this incident, it basically meant saying goodbye to the Goryeo market completely.
This was also the first time that Germination's overseas strategy suffered a setback.
"Don't worry about who is the victim. What I mean is that in future disputes like this, we need to pay more attention to our fighting strategies. Don't just issue statements that inform the world. It's quite scary." Tang Yi reminded.
If one operation is not done well, disputes between countries may really arise.
This is definitely unwise behavior.
If there are people who are dissatisfied with the sprout and add fuel to the fire behind the scenes, the situation will become even more complicated.
"I see."
Zhang Shuo was thoughtful. Looking back now, he was really a little impulsive at the time. For such a big matter, Mo Ya did not complain to anyone beforehand, including his second uncle.
It was also because I was really angry at the time, and even more angry at the inaction of the post office.
But this in itself is a sign of immaturity.
When Sprout reaches its current scale, management may not be the first priority, but understanding the rules is.
"Second uncle, can you recommend me a knowledgeable person? I would like to be hired as an independent director of the Germination Group to provide some consulting services on policies." Zhang Shuo corrected his mistakes when he knew they were wrong.
"I can't help you with this, just go and find it yourself."
Seeing that Zhang Shuo really listened, Tang Yi was very pleased, but he was very principled, that is - he would never get involved in the specific management of Bu Ya.
"All right."
Zhang Shuo thought about it. It was really inconvenient for his second uncle to participate in this kind of thing.
………
The next day, Zhang Shuo held a small gathering of friends in his apartment.
It's rare to be lively.
There were two sisters, Cai Miaomiao and Shu Xiaoran, four golden flowers, Gu Xiaoxi, Tang Yu, Murong Yan, and Li Ling, two beauties, Xu Jia and Lin Weiwei, and then there were Wang Yan's family of three and Zheng Zhebin.
It's strange to say that.
The people Zhang Shuo faces in the company are basically big men, and the "friends" he can make in life are almost all girls.
If you don’t know, you would think he is so carefree.
Seeing that Cai Miaomiao was still dressed like a little girl, Zhang Shuo laughed: "You are also the CEO of Meow Meow Bicycle and a famous figure in Binhai University. Why are you still dressed like this?"
"Brother, please stop making fun of me. We are just a small company."
It has to be said that entrepreneurship is really a training experience. In less than half a year, Cai Miaomiao quickly completed the identity change, and she has a vague demeanor of a social person.
The growth rate is astonishingly fast.
If this was placed in the ivory tower of a university, it would probably still be a small flower.
"Small company? Do you know that the small company you talk about is the end point that many people will never reach in their lifetime." Zhang Shuo felt that this girl Miaomiao was a little distracted.
"I'm not targeting you, brother." Cai Miaomiao smiled.
"Then you have to keep working hard."
Zhang Shuo did not dampen Cai Miaomiao's enthusiasm. It is good for young people to be motivated.
"But it's so difficult."
Cai Miaomiao, who was so brave just now, suddenly became depressed. "I have to learn how to manage people and read financial statements. If it weren't for Sister Jia, I wouldn't be able to hold on anymore."
At this stage, Cai Miaomiao is more like a CEO intern.
The daily operation and management of Miaomiao Bicycle is controlled by Xu Jia in the general direction, and the deputy managers are responsible for specific and micro affairs. The directors are responsible for each, and Cai Miaomiao is more like a mascot.
I also like Cai Miaomiao’s image, which will help promote Meow Meow Bicycles on campus.
"Brother, I heard from Sister Xiaowan that you have been at the helm independently since you founded Germination. How did you do it?" The more Cai Miaomiao understands the difficulties of starting a business, the more Cai Miaomiao admires Zhang Shuo.
"This is my talent, you can't envy it."
If it weren't for the blessing of the system, to be honest, Zhang Shuo might not be much better than Cai Miaomiao.
"cut!"
Cai Miaomiao was disdainful, but in her heart she was filled with admiration.
"You two wealthy people should stop complimenting each other here, and make us migrant workers miserable." Tang Yu was still as venomous as ever, and his eyes were full of envy.
"That's right, that's right."
Murong Yan and Li Ling echoed.
"The achievements of Dafu Tianzi are something you can't envy. Take Yanzi, who is now the leader of Panda Live Broadcasting, and already earns one million a month, right? This means he has already defeated more than 90% of migrant workers."
Because Murong Yan entered the industry early and had Zhang Shuo's guidance, she has indeed reaped the dividends of the times.
If he were the boss of a factory, Zhang Shuo would dare to say that looking at the whole of China, more than 90% of the factories would not be able to achieve a net profit of tens of millions per year.
I have to say that Internet celebrities really make money.
Especially after live broadcasts with goods became popular, the annual income of hundreds of millions of leading anchors was really beyond ordinary people's imagination. Not to mention ordinary factories, even large companies of a certain size could not compare.
Making money is just like having fun.
In comparison, Li Ling, who started at the same starting point as Murong Yan and both started as an intern at Green Orange Milk Tea, although she is a store manager and is considered outstanding among her peers, her income is nearly a hundred times different from Murong Yan's.
Murong Yan's income in one year is equivalent to Li Ling's lifetime income.
Who could have imagined this before?
"Well, they are all rich women, but I have the lowest salary. Even Sister Ling's salary is higher than mine."
Tang Yu became even more depressed.
The little salary she gets now every month is basically enough for her own expenses.
That's it, I have to get some pocket money from Zhang Shuo every three days to supplement it. Otherwise, I won't even be able to afford better skin care products. It's really far from ideal.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Just be content."
Zhang Shuo glared at Tang Yu, "Haven't you heard a sentence? The end of the universe is the establishment. Holding an iron rice bowl in your hand, you can guarantee the harvest despite droughts and floods. You may not be worse than Li Ling and the others."
Like Tang Yu.
The basic salary is not high, but the workplace benefits are good, and the year-end bonus is also high. The most important thing is that the five insurances and one housing fund are enough. After working for a few years, it is not a problem to use the provident fund to buy a house in Binhai City.
How can Li Ling compare with these invisible benefits?
Otherwise, ten years from now, young people in China will not end up in that position for a single establishment. Starting with a master's degree, with a doctorate as standard, it has to be 985. Is that okay?
"What are you talking about?" Xu Jia came over with a red wine glass.
"They are all crying about poverty." Zhang Shuo smiled.
"In front of a rich man like you, who is qualified to show off his wealth?" Xu Jia shook the red wine in his hand and drank it in one gulp, his eyes and eyebrows were very intoxicated.
She was happy to come to Zhang Shuo's place and also took a fancy to the red wine in Zhang Shuo's wine cabinet.
Although Zhang Shuo doesn't buy wine, his partners who can't stand it often give him wine, and they are all first-class wine. Zhang Shuo doesn't drink it, which is really a waste of money.
What Xu Jia said is not entirely correct.
Precisely because Zhang Shuo's wealth has reached a very exaggerated level, it is difficult for everyone to feel any jealousy about it, because it has already gone beyond the scope of jealousy.
On the contrary, I am very envious of young rich women like Cai Miaomiao and Murong Yan.
Because this is truly attainable.
………
Monday, May 20th.
After relaxing on the weekend, Zhang Shuo came to the company to work in high spirits.
First, attend the meeting.
As soon as he came up, the rotating president Lu Kai reported on the personnel issues: "Chairman, this is the candidate recommended by the talent center for the general manager of the group legal center after the inspection and screening. Take a look."
Just last Friday, Wu Xian went to work for Pinxixi Group.
"Cheng Minghua, senior partner of Gandu Law Firm, yes, let's try it out for one year."
Zhang Shuo simply scanned Cheng Minghua's resume.
As one of the top law firms in China, Gandu Law Firm has business all over the world. To be able to reach the position of senior partner, the ability should be up to standard.
Wu Sheyuan also inspected it personally, but Zhang Shuo could not find anything.
The key is to see whether Cheng Minghua can meet the business requirements of the Sprout Group after joining the company, and whether his values and behavior patterns are consistent with the Sprout Group.
You can't tell much from your resume alone.
With the current scale of Sprout Group, if you want to recruit a legal person in charge, the targets for selection are very limited. Basically, you can only select from these barristers.
Or hire someone from overseas.
"In addition to the general manager of the legal center, let's do another HR review to see if there is a suitable financial director in the country. As for Han Mei, she is still the general manager of the financial center and will not be replaced."
Considering the particularity of financial work, Zhang Shuo ultimately did not choose to change his position.
Instead, we are planning to hire another financial director.
"good."
Lu Kai nodded and took note.
"And one more thing."
Zhang Shuo remembered the conversation he had with his second uncle over the weekend.
"I plan to add two independent directors to the board of directors. One is from the economic field and can preferably provide professional macroeconomic consulting to the group; the other is from international relations or similar fields and can provide public relations and macroeconomic policies to the group.
Professional consultation on this matter.”
As Germination has grown to its current scale, compliance has become more important.
Need some consultation from professional fields.
When necessary, an institution similar to the Germination Economic Research Center can be established in the future to provide consulting services on policy compliance for the group's business strategies.
"This shouldn't be difficult." Lu Kai was very optimistic.
With the current status and reputation of Meiya, being able to become an independent director of Meiya has many benefits.
First of all, the most economical thing is that you can receive an extra special allowance from Sprout Group. And having the name of the independent director of Sprout Group printed on your business card is a bit of a face-saving thing.
Of course the most important thing is——
Becoming an independent director of the Sprout Group basically means entering the Sprout circle. If you can make good use of such connections, your benefits will be more than just a small allowance.
It is precisely for this reason that you must be careful when selecting people.
"It is still necessary to conduct more inspections and screenings. We must not only pass the ability test, but also have excellent character. I don't want to say that the independent directors hired by Mei Ya are sitting crookedly." Zhang Shuo reminded.
In the liberal arts circle of colleges and universities, there are many crooked-necked trees, so be careful.
"clear!"
After being reminded by the big boss, Lu Kai also realized the importance of the matter.
After talking about personnel, let’s talk about business.
This time it was Gu Mingzhang who was the first to report: "Chairman, two major events have happened in the mobile phone industry recently."
"First, Hongyi Capital has officially reached an investment agreement with Meiyuan. Second, Samsung has reached a technology transfer agreement for mobile phone patents with the mobile phone department of Dadanxiang Group."
"Is it all related to not being able to think about it?"
Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly. If he remembered correctly, Hongyi Capital was also an affiliated company that he would not dare to think of.
"Yes, so it's a bit strange. I speculate that Sanxing and Da DaDa have reached some private agreement, hoping to regain a foothold in the Chinese market with the help of Da Da Da Xiang." Gu Mingzhang said.
This is also very possible.
After experiencing three consecutive strikes, Samsung mobile phones are almost unsaleable in China, and Samsung obviously does not want to, and is unlikely to, give up on the Chinese market so easily.
The loss would be huge.
It seems that there has been little movement among the three stars recently. In fact, they are all doing private activities, whether it is public relations, discussing cooperation, or using "investment" to establish new connections with the local area.
In a word -
That is to say, we must find ways and make every effort to eliminate the previous adverse effects.
This reminded Zhang Shuo of the conversation he had with his second uncle over the weekend. The wind could blow into his ears. This shows how frequently San Xing has been active in private during the recent period.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is really evil.
"Can you predict the specific impact of the three stars' actions?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"Based on the information we collected, looking at this situation, Sanxing seems to be trying to borrow the power of Charming to secretly maintain its position in the Chinese market. But no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit unreliable.
"
Gu Mingzhang was obviously also confused.
"How do you say it?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"First of all, even if Sanxing doesn't dare to think about it, if Meidai supports it, it can only make a difference in the mid-to-low-end market, and it will not threaten the status of Maili mobile phones."
"Secondly, I dare not think about it. Charming arrows can certainly make a profit, but what are the three stars doing?"
"Is it possible to say that Sanxing and Da Daxiang have reached some kind of secret agreement in private, and this agreement can ensure the interests of Sanxing?" Zhang Shuo said.
"Of course this possibility cannot be ruled out, but it is too circuitous." Gu Mingzhang was still confused, "I am more inclined to think that this is just one of the casual moves played by Sanxing, and it has no cost anyway."
"Then let's forget about the secret agreement."
Zhang Shuo usually doesn't want to make random assumptions, "What I want to know more now is how friends like Xiaomi and ov reacted after getting the news?"
As Gu Mingzhang analyzed, the ones most affected by Sanxing's move were actually Xiaomi and his ilk.
"Rebus has gone crazy. Just yesterday, he called me three times." As the president of Maili Group, Gu Mingzhang can be regarded as a big boss in the Chinese smartphone industry.
He also serves as the vice president of the association.
"This is the fragility of not mastering the core technology. Sanxing can push Xiaomi and others to the wall by just moving their fingers and making a casual move."
From an emotional point of view, it is really difficult for Zhang Shuo to feel sympathy for Xiaomi.
Fortunately, Zhang Shuo was not an emotional person and said firmly: "No matter what the ultimate goal of Sanxing is, one thing is certain - what the enemy wants to achieve is exactly what we need to destroy."
In short, we must not let Sanxing's plan succeed.
What's more, say.
There is also a budding new enemy involved here.
Just packed them together.
Zhang Shuocai didn't believe it and didn't dare to think that Sanxing found him. It would be a simple coincidence.
"Chairman, do you mean that we should follow the example of Sanxing and provide technical assistance or technology transfer to friends such as Xiaomi and ov? But, to be honest, our own technology accumulation is not deep."
Maili Group was originally established less than two years ago, and its initial technology came from Nokia.
Moreover, this technology was authorized to related supporting enterprises in the Lingnan Electronic Information Industry Zone as early as the establishment of Maili Group.
This also includes Xiaomi, ov and others.
In other words, except for the unique technologies developed in the past year or two, Maili Group's own technical reserves are far from comparable to those of established electronics giants like Samsung.
I can't learn even if I want to.
"I didn't say that we should completely imitate Samsung. Samsung has the advantages of Samsung, and we also have our own strengths. Do you think that if the fingerprint unlocking technology is licensed to Xiaomi, ov and other friends, can it have a miraculous effect?"
Zhang Shuo had an idea.
"Fingerprint unlocking technology is our unique secret skill..."
Gu Mingzhang was about to speak but stopped.
"It's a unique secret skill, but how long do you think this technology can keep it covered, one year or two years?" If Zhang Shuo remembers correctly, the Pingguo 5s released this year will have fingerprint unlocking.
"Even if it only lasts for another year, it is of great value."
Gu Mingzhang was still hesitating.
From his perspective, the Maili x2 that Maili Group will release this year will be a product that determines success or failure. If it can also take the lead in fingerprint unlocking technology, it will undoubtedly be a blessing.
It is also one of the main signs that distinguish Maili mobile phones from Xiaomi, ov and other products.
"Maybe you have a point."
It's not that Zhang Shuo couldn't understand Gu Mingzhang's hesitation, "But I still want to be willful, just to put a little extra pressure on the technology research and development department of Maili Group."
He does not want to say that Mai Li can only rely on fingerprint unlocking technology.
The next few years will be a period of explosive growth in smartphone-related technologies. In terms of unlocking technology alone, more advanced under-screen fingerprint unlocking and face recognition technologies will follow.
It is absolutely undesirable to rest on one's laurels.
"Chairman, what do you mean, let the dog bite the rabbit?" Gu Mingzhang finally understood.
"Roughly the same."
Zhang Shuo smiled and nodded, "From the perspective of Maili Group, this is indeed the case. But if we look at the entire Chinese smartphone industry, it can also be said to be letting the rabbit bite the dog."
To deal with those who are blessed by the three stars, Xiaomi, ov, has to take action.
"Then, how to authorize it specifically? Should it be authorized directly to the three partners, Huawei, Xiaomi, and ov, or should it be granted to domestic mobile phone manufacturers upon application?" Gu Mingzhang asked.
The current domestic mobile phone industry can be described as a mixed bag.
In addition to Xiaomi, ov, and Mei Da, there are also new players such as Kupi and Hammer.
"so…"
Zhang Shuo's eyes moved slightly, he already had an idea, and said with a smile: "Let the news out first, and say that the fingerprint unlocking technology will only be licensed to four domestic mobile phone manufacturers. As for which four, we will not announce it yet."
"Four..."
Gu Mingzhang thought about it for a while, and then he figured out something, "Chairman, do you want these friends to compete with each other, so as to increase the influence of Maili Group in the industry?"
"clever!"
Zhang Shuo smiled and nodded, "Even if it's a license, you have to charge some extra interest, right? Moreover, technology licensing is not free. You have to charge a certain amount of patent royalties. You can't just go for free."
"clear!"
Gu Mingzhang also understood it, "I'm really looking forward to it now, but I can't even imagine whether Mei Dao and other companies will also join the application sequence."
"I can't believe I don't know. Charming Arrow will definitely give it a try." Zhang Shuo smiled.
"that must be very interesting."
Gu Mingzhang could not help but shudder at the big boss's evil intentions.
