Chapter 397: Mango pre-sales hit a record, Germination personnel were adjusted again, and Tessula is still eating melons!
Beautiful country.
As soon as he got up in the morning, Lao Ma, chairman of Teshila, was bombarded with all kinds of news. The key word was just one -
Mango M1!
On the other side of the ocean, a Chinese company has quietly built a pure electric vehicle.
And looking at the posture, the Mango M1 seems to be pretty good.
No, it's not good, it's very good. You know, the model that Teshu La is currently mass-producing is the model S, and it is a very expensive model.
Although the subsequent improved model X has been released, it is still far away from actual mass production.
It will take at least 14 years.
This means that the only model that Teshu La can use to compete with the Mango M1 is the model S. Apart from others, the latter does not have any competitive advantage in terms of price alone.
When l S entered the Chinese market, the price was in the 800,000 range.
A proper "luxury car" without a doubt.
"Chinese..."
Teshu La originally intended to test the Chinese market this year, but now it seems that with the Mango M1 "Jade" in front, even if Teshu La enters by force, its prospects are uncertain.
Original time and space.
It took Teshila four years just to negotiate with the Magic City.
"Hey..."
Lao Ma laughed at himself, but didn't particularly care.
Because essentially, at this time, although Tessila had already been listed and had made profits for the first time at the beginning of this year, its stock price soared, and its market value once reached tens of billions of dollars.
But Lao Ma actually has no idea about Tessla's true potential in the future.
What really made Tessla rise to become a giant in the automotive industry was the release of l3.
In the original time and space, model 3 was released in 2016, and was delivered sporadically in 2017. In 2018, it was still only delivered in the Americas. The European and Asian markets will not start to be delivered one after another until 2019.
It is too early to pay attention to the Chinese market now.
For Tessla, deepening the local market is the real priority.
………
No matter how Teshila on the other side of the ocean reacts, in China, the big discussion about Mango M1 is still going on. Along with the high public opinion, the sales of Mango M1 are rising steadily.
As of 8 p.m. on June 1, within 24 hours, the number of Mango car reservations officially exceeded 5,000.
A very eye-catching data.
This would be nothing in 2022, and any new car-making force could easily achieve it.
But it’s still 13 years now.
Let's take Teshu La, a "pioneer" in the field of electric vehicles, as an example. The total sales target set by Teshu La at the beginning of 2014 was only about 50,000 vehicles.
Or focus on the global market.
Obviously, Mango Auto will definitely focus on the Chinese market in the early stage.
Zhang Shuo set a total sales target of 30,000 units for the Mango M1, but Tang Xiang, president of Mango Group, ambitiously raised the target to 40,000 units.
The 24-hour pre-sale results obviously laid a solid foundation for this goal.
But don't be too optimistic.
The target group of Mango Cars is budding die-hard fans, car trendsetters, as well as friendly sponsors such as Scallion, and even friends bought it for research. If they could buy it, they all ordered it as soon as possible.
Especially the sprout iron powder, after all, enjoys a 8,000 discount.
Moreover, if you order early, you can pick up the car early, and if you pick up the car early, you can get the license plate early, so there is no hesitation.
Subsequent pre-sales will certainly not be able to replicate the craziness of the first day.
But there is no doubt that with these 5,000 pre-sales, the Mango M1 has achieved initial success. Compared with Bishila's "bumpy" growth road, it has already reached its "peak" since its debut.
The absolute chosen one.
After the pre-sale results of the Mango M1 were exposed, not surprisingly, a new wave of public opinion was set off on the Internet.
"Damn it, there are still many rich people in China!!!"
"I really can't understand what some people think. Why are you placing an order before you even see the real car?"
"The world of rich people..."
This is actually not entirely true, because on June 1, Zhang Shuo, who had not yet left the Magic City, attended the unveiling ceremony of the Mango Auto Magic City Experience Center.
The experience center also has four existing cars, which can not only be visited, but also provide test drive services.
Some die-hard fans and geeks have already started using it immediately.
Because there were so many people visiting, in order to provide consumers with the best test drive experience, the just-opened experience center even had to limit the number of visitors.
It’s also a spectacle.
There is no doubt that Mango M1 will lead a new trend in the future.
It also pushed Germination to a higher peak.
"I have to say that Mo Ya is really awesome. Whatever she does, she will succeed!"
“Rumors say, like the previous Maili X1, Meng Wang is also the chief designer of Mango M1 and single-handedly led the design work of Mango M1, which is awesome!!!”
"The cute king is so understanding, I really cried to death!!!"
"Wang Crack supports Meng Wang to continue his doctoral studies after graduating with a master's degree (dog head)."
"The cute king you think is just an ordinary programmer; the actual cute king is a super academic who hides his secrets. He is so strong that I really cried to death!!!"
"The key point is that the cute king is so rich and still works so hard, how can he break it?"
"Not only is he rich, but he also doesn't show off his wealth. He doesn't have the habits of a rich man at all."
"Cry to death, is this the difference between the first generation and the second generation?"
"Tish Cong: Are you polite? I also start a business, okay?"
"The cute king actually shows off his wealth, but his rank is different. People can just do charity with a dozen small goals. Most people really can't do this kind of showing off their wealth."
"It is said that the Dongfeng University of Science and Technology library donated by the Chunmiao Fund is already under construction. It will cost more than one billion and will be built into the largest library in Asia. Who can compare with this?"
“Cute King donated the library, isn’t it just for the convenience of studying nearby? (Gotou)”
"Cry to death, it's really possible."
"Find a place for yourself to study, and do some charity work at the same time? (Gotou)"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is the highest level of showing off your wealth, @码 Cong learn from it."
"Tear Cong: Get lost, I can't read a damn book, how can I break it?"
"Wow haha, it's better not to criticize him. He's quite a nice person. King Meng is a monster after all."
"Remember, there is only one cute king in the world!"
The "down-to-earth, people-friendly, and academic" persona that Zhang Shuo has been trying his best to create has finally produced unexpected results at this important juncture, and not many people are hostile to his personal wealth.
Even if you are envious, it is normal envy, and you are more willing to accept it jokingly.
otherwise.
With Zhang Shuo's current wealth, if his reputation is slightly worse, he may become the target of public criticism.
………
Monday, June 3rd.
After returning to Binhai City from Shanghai on Saturday night, Zhang Shuo, who was exhausted, did not go back to the youth apartment. In order to avoid the disturbance from the outside world, he rushed into Xili Building.
It is rare to enjoy the full range of housekeeping services provided by Chen Lu.
After stretching his muscles and bones, his whole body and mind were relaxed. When he woke up in the morning, Zhang Shuo was still full of energy and even played a set of Chen Style Tai Chi with Chen Lu.
Only then did you leisurely go downstairs.
Li Feng was already waiting in the basement, driving a black Mango M1.
That's right.
After Mango Auto was launched, Zhang Shuo changed his car.
Not only him, but also many senior executives of the sprouting department will switch to Mango cars one after another if conditions permit.
Not to mention a business car equipped by the company.
When planning the Puya Industrial Park, it has already designed a super charging station, so there is no need to worry about charging issues. Many of the properties owned by Sprout Real Estate will also be retrofitted with charging piles in the future.
Just for the Mango Bus Stop!
As soon as he returned to the company, Zhang Shuo faced another month of funding applications, which mainly included——
Allocate 800 million R&D funding to the Fertile Soil Research Institute;
Allocate 2.5 billion operating funds to Mango Group, including 800 million R&D funds;
Allocate 1.5 billion operating funds to Daosui Group, including 800 million R&D funds;
Allocate 500 million working capital to Pinxixi Group;
Allocate 500 million operating funds to Jiaoyang Holdings;
Allocate 200 million construction funds to Germination Real Estate.
A total of six billion funds.
With the birth of Mango M1, Mango Group's expenses will only increase in the future. Pre-sale revenue alone will not be enough to support the operation of Mango Group.
I have to keep throwing money!!!
Teshila was able to grow bigger without being overwhelmed by the capital chain, not because Lao Ma was so good, but because at the critical moment, Beautiful Country provided Teshila with a loan of US$4.5 billion.
In essence, it is also subsidizing and supporting.
In contrast, the daily expenses of Daosui Group and Pinxixi Group have remained unchanged, but they are also big money earners, with monthly expenses of 2 billion.
Most companies really can't stand it.
As for the operating funds allocated to Jiaoyang Holdings, they will mainly be used to develop the Southeast Asian market.
In addition to the fixed allocation, Sprout also acquired Mei Dao's shares in Zhulong Technology for 500 million last month; it also repaid 500 million in corporate debt.
In terms of profit.
Last month, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment turned over a profit of 4.2 billion, Maili Group turned over a profit of 4.55 billion, Qinghe Technology turned over a profit of 250 million, and Germinal Financial Holdings turned over a profit of 400 million.
The total profit turned in was 9.4 billion, a decrease of 100 million from last month.
The main reason is that the profits handed over by Maili Group continue to shrink. In addition to the decline in sales of Maili X1, it also has to pay an advance payment to Zhulong Technology for the Zhulong Z1 chip.
Otherwise, Zhulong Technology would not have the money to pay the foundry company Tai Electromechanical.
In contrast, thanks to the continued increase in smartphone ownership, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment's game profits have been increasing steadily, and it is a certainty that its monthly profit will exceed 5 billion before the end of the year.
Although a lot of money was spent, because there were no major investment projects in May, the overall cash flow rarely received positive feedback, and it increased by 2.4 billion.
Finally, it replenished the fund pool that was about to dry up.
But he could only barely survive.
With the current scale of Buya System, Zhang Shuo would feel very unsafe if there was no tens of billions of cash lying around on the books at any time, as if he was afraid that he would be collected for debt.
After signing the grant application, Zhang Shuo signed several important personnel appointments, including——
Appointed Cai Feijuan as the financial director of Sprout Group;
Zhang Wei and Zhai Sheng were appointed as independent directors of Sprout Group.
Cai Feijuan was originally a senior partner of Bimawe Accounting Firm. This time she was recruited by the Germination Group and served as the financial director, responsible for the entire financial planning of the group.
At the same time, it also freed Jiang Yue from being in charge of the group's financial affairs.
Zhang Wei and Zhai Sheng are both university professors in their early forties and are Mesozoic scholars. They are both capable and have an international perspective. The key is their profound cultural confidence.
It fully meets Zhang Shuo's previous needs.
In order to find suitable candidates, Human Resources Director Wu Sheyuan screened almost all the scholars from Huaxia universities who met the basic requirements.
Then Zhang Shuo personally selected and appointed him as the independent director of the group.
These two, at least as far as Zhang Shuo knows, will be fierce men in the Mesozoic generation in the next few years. They have real materials and are not like a so-called "economist" who only boasts about high salaries.
water.
Totally a scam.
After finishing the most important work, Zhang Shuo had time to browse the news.
There were overwhelming reports related to Mango Cars, and one of the pieces of news piqued his interest - the city announced that it would increase the number of green license plates issued in the first batch to 8,000 from the previous 3,000.
Apparently I was also stimulated by the pre-sale results of Mango M1.
Other first- and second-tier cities such as Jingshi, Binhai City, Yangcheng, Shancheng, and Jiangxia have also started research and formulation of policies related to green licenses.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Paving the way for the local development of new energy vehicles.
This is undoubtedly great news for Mango Group, because new energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, rely heavily on local policy support in the early stages of development.
Otherwise it will be difficult to move forward.
Obviously, Mango Group is fortunate to be born in a country with a very strategic vision, and has unique local advantages compared to Teshila.
There is no reason not to surpass Tesla and aspire to become the global leader in electric vehicles.
Except the good news.
Of course, there will also be some news that is not very friendly to Sprout.
For example, there is the commonplace issue of tight capital chain. We are "worried" that the budding capital chain will not be able to support the development of Mango Auto, and systemic risks may erupt in the future.
Another example is those who hate the rich and regard Zhang Shuo as a target that needs to be defeated.
There are also some people who naturally despise the chips designed by Zhulong Technology, including the car chip Chitu C1 and the mobile phone chip Zhulong Z1.
I think it is just not as good as chips designed abroad.
Regarding these Internet noises, as long as they were not organized attacks or smears, Zhang Shuo did not ask the Legal Center to pay attention to them, but let them go.
The online world itself is very complex and diverse, with a variety of voices and viewpoints intersecting.
All perfectly normal.
If the same voice is made against the Germinal Department or Zhang Shuo, it is neither realistic nor necessary, and it is impossible to block Youyou's mouth.
It's not necessarily a good thing.
With Zhang Shuo's current self-cultivation, he has long been accustomed to the existence of different voices and different positions.
………
At about nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Shuo came to the small conference room next door.
Lu Kai, Gu Mingzhang and other senior executives have already arrived, as well as the newly appointed financial director Cai Feijuan, who was also invited to attend today's meeting.
As for the two newly appointed independent directors Zhang Wei and Zhai Sheng, after Zhang Shuo signed their appointment, they still had to go through a complete process. At this time, they did not appear in the Germination Building.
As independent directors, they do not need to work at Sprout.
Anyway, now that communications are developed, if anything happens, you can communicate on Weixin or through video conferencing. Of course, you can also provide suggestions in the form of reports.
It's more like a peripheral consultant hired by Sprout.
Cai Feijuan is in her early forties, but she takes good care of herself. She is dressed a little seriously and looks smart and capable.
The first job is to do finance.
"Chairman, I have long admired your name!"
When shaking hands with Zhang Shuo, it could be seen that Cai Feijuan was suppressing her excitement.
It’s no wonder that with the success of Mango Cars, Zhang Shuo’s status in the business world has risen again. Coupled with his age and experience, he is almost a legendary symbol in the industry.
In a sense, the limelight has even surpassed that of senior entrepreneurs such as Mr. Ren and Mr. Ren.
No matter what kind of high-level talent he is, or how awesome he is in his own field, when facing Zhang Shuo, it is difficult for him to calm down, and he may even feel a bit like worshiping him.
Just like now.
Which of the executives here is not at the top of the industry pyramid?
But unfortunately.
No one can block Zhang Shuo's sharpness. Wherever he sits, he will be the focus of the audience.
"I'm looking forward to it too."
After shaking hands and getting acquainted, Zhang Shuo said with a smile: "We are a sprout. It has been more than three years since our establishment, and we finally have a serious financial director. I will have to rely more on Sister Cai for future financial planning."
"I try my best."
When it comes to her job, Cai Feijuan seems very modest.
In a sense, this is also true.
As the financial director, he is fully responsible for the group's financial management, cost management, budget management, accounting, accounting supervision, auditing and other work.
The burden on my body is not light.
But as the financial director, Cai Feijuan's core responsibility is to be responsible for the financing planning, capital planning, financial planning and other strategic work related to the overall situation of the Germination Group.
This is very challenging.
In particular, the current scale and system of the Germination Group are among the best in China.
Although Cai Feijuan herself is one of the top talents in the industry and was selected as an elite soldier by Wu Sheyuanyou, she must still be a little nervous when she first arrives.
To secure this position requires both ability and the recognition of the big boss Zhang Shuo.
Especially for an airborne soldier like her.
"take it easy."
Zhang Shuo smiled warmly, seeming to have seen through Cai Feijuan's concerns, and said with a smile: "Ask them, I am easy to get along with, and I always trust the advice of professionals."
"Well, the chairman usually doesn't show off his power, but when he does, we can't afford to offend anyone."
Lu Kai joked with a smile.
Others were also laughing, including Cai Feijuan, who suddenly felt less nervous.
"Okay, let's officially start the meeting."
After meeting the newcomers, Zhang Shuo motioned to Lu Kai, who was presiding over the meeting, to get down to business.
