Chapter 430 Ahri and Nomi finally merge, and Zhang Shuo is playing a big game?!
Day, Monday.
In the past week, apart from the public opinion farce between Ali and Pin Xixi, there was actually another major event, that is, the mass production of Mango M1 began to roll off the production line and was successively delivered to previously reserved car owners.
In first- and second-tier cities such as Shanghai City and Binhai City, Mango M1 has begun to appear in traffic.
It has become another scenery.
Coupled with the blessing of the Double Eleven promotion, the sales of Mango M1 are also rising steadily.
The future prospects are promising!
The initial success of Mango Car has also made some capital and giants in China ready to make moves, as if smelling a bit of blood, wondering if Germination can build cars, can they also build cars?
It seems that new energy vehicles are promising.
Of course, if you think about it, the future of new energy vehicles in 2013 is still not very clear. Even the star company Tesla is in a difficult situation, and the investment is huge.
The giants still have doubts about whether they should end it now.
If the giants are still just about to make a move, then those related parts suppliers that support Mango Auto are already taking action and starting to acquire land around the Mango Super Factory.
We are planning to build a new parts factory close to the Mango Super Factory.
This is also what the devil city likes to see.
The purpose is to create a new energy vehicle industry cluster in Shanghai.
In order to guide relevant suppliers to gather in the Linhai Industrial Zone, the Magic City also took the lead in setting up a special working group, and offered very favorable conditions in terms of policies, taxes, land transfer fees, etc.
Naturally, the two sides hit it off.
This trend has also been noticed by the giants, who are observing in secret and waiting for the new energy vehicle industry chain to mature before picking the peaches.
At least get a share of the pie.
………
At the following meeting, as expected, Zhang Shuo officially announced the relevant personnel adjustments of the group.
Lu Kai resigned from the position of president of Jiaoyang Holdings that he had held concurrently.
Zhao Mingchuan, the former group operations director, was promoted to vice president of the group, president of the overseas business department and president of Jiaoyang Holdings, taking overall charge of the group's overseas business.
The rank has also taken a solid step forward from the previous one.
To know.
Once you reach the level of group director, your chances of rising further are becoming increasingly slim.
It would be great if you can keep your spot.
Zhao Mingchuan's promotion undoubtedly once again sent a clear signal to the senior executives of the budding department, that is - "Don't lie down, there is still a chance for promotion!!!"
"After Zhao Mingchuan was promoted to vice president of the group, he reported directly to Mr. Lu." Zhang Shuo emphasized.
"Huh???"
The senior executives, including the person involved, Lu Kai, were all surprised. They originally thought that after Zhao Mingchuan was promoted, he would report directly to the big boss.
Didn't expect it wasn't.
One vice president reports to another vice president?
If coupled with Lu Kai's status as rotating president, and he was previously in charge of overseas business, it would barely make sense, but it just feels like something is wrong.
It stands to reason that after Zhao Mingchuan is promoted, even if he does not report directly to the big boss, he should report to the rotating president on duty.
However, Zhang Shuo emphasized that Zhao Mingchuan reported directly to Lu Kai.
This also means——
Although he has resigned as president of Jiaoyang Holdings, Lu Kai is still in charge of the group's overseas business. However, from direct management before, he is now only responsible for controlling the overall situation.
The authority has not really been weakened.
"Chairman, then, who will take over Zhao Mingchuan's original job?" Jiang Yue took the opportunity to ask.
"Liu Xiaohui."
Zhang Shuo, on the other hand, had already considered everything.
Liu Xiaohui currently serves as the executive vice president of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment. He is mainly responsible for the operations of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment. He can be regarded as an experienced operator.
The key is still Zhang Shuo's direct lineage.
In some important personnel appointments, it really depends on the closeness of the relationship with the boss. Since several candidates are qualified for promotion, why not choose someone who knows the basics?
Liu Xiaohui's promotion to group operations director this time is a smooth move in terms of rank, but in terms of authority, it is undoubtedly a solid step forward.
Especially coming back to the center again.
Seeing that the candidate nominated by the big boss was Liu Xiaohui, Jiang Yue and others naturally understood it.
All expressed support.
The only doubt is that anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Xiaohui is a chess piece that Zhang Shuo has placed in Jade Bird Entertainment for a long time to check and balance the airborne Cao Yanhua.
The small treasury incident of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment was previously reported, and it is said that Liu Xiaohui made a small report to Zhang Shuo.
I don’t blame Zhang Shuo for being cautious.
In fact, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is one of the two main hematopoietic machines of the Sprout Group, and it is far away from the group headquarters. It is so high that no boss can completely trust Cao Yanhua.
Proper checks and balances are actually a kind of protection for Cao Yanhua.
Now that Liu Xiaohui has been transferred from Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, it is of course a great good thing for Liu Xiaohui personally, but does it also mean that Zhang Shuo has completely trusted Cao Yanhua?
The meaning behind this is worth thinking about.
Sure enough, Zhang Shuo immediately said that he would arrange for the general manager of the group's operation center to be transferred to Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment to serve as the vice president of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, replacing Liu Xiaohui and taking charge of the operational business of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.
"It can be regarded as a two-way exchange of personnel!" Zhang Shuo explained with a smile.
"fine."
Jiang Yue and other senior executives could only admire the big boss's employment practices.
The general manager of the group department has a rank of M8 and was transferred to the vice president of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment. Although he is not an executive vice president, he has been promoted one level. Naturally, he will do his best for the big boss.
Isn’t this okay?!
Personnel appointments and dismissals, especially those involving key positions, are inherently a chain reaction. Pulling out the carrot and bringing out the mud will lead to a series of personnel adjustments.
For example, if the general manager of the group operation center is transferred to Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, does it also need a successor?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Doesn’t the deputy general manager of the operations center have an opportunity?
Of course, you can also select suitable people from subsidiaries and promote them.
But at this point, the big boss Zhang Shuo no longer needs to personally intervene. Jiang Yue, the executive vice president in charge of administrative affairs, and Wu Sheyuan, the human resources director, can jointly handle it.
This is actually a kind of decentralization.
"Ahem, Chairman, Dai Yutong has been serving as the deputy director of the President's Office for a long time, and he has done a pretty good job. Are you considering taking advantage of this personnel adjustment to straighten Dai Yutong?"
Jiang Yue asked for instructions.
"Dai Yutong, let's wait until next year."
Zhang Shuo, however, lightly suppressed Jiang Yue's proposal.
To be honest, Dai Yutong did a very good job in the position of deputy director of the President's Office. After all, he came from a major. In a sense, he even surpassed his predecessor Chen Xiaowan.
It also shows from the side that no one is truly indispensable.
At first, Chen Xiaowan did not listen to the advice. For the sake of her so-called ideal, she resolutely chose to resign from the Sprout Group and returned to her hometown to open a bar.
The results of it?
Only a short time has passed, and the traces of Chen Xiaowan's budding life have been almost completely erased.
Even Du Qingqing and Dai Yutong, who are closest to Chen Xiaowan, are too busy with work and are not in the same city. Even if they are only on Weixin, the number of contacts is gradually decreasing.
Gradually, only holiday greetings are left.
The relationship between people is like this, especially between adults. No matter how familiar they were at work before, the friendship between them will gradually fade after a period of physical isolation.
The reason why Zhang Shuo suppressed the promotion of Dai Yutong was because he did not want Dai Yutong to be promoted too quickly.
Then he made the same mistake as Chen Xiaowan.
Many times, when you get something too easily, you don’t know how to cherish it.
………
After announcing the personnel adjustments, the meeting continued.
Lu Qi, the rotating president, once again reported the latest news on the merger of Ali-Dianping and Nomidian-Dianping, "Ari should have made major concessions, and the merger between the two parties has entered the substantive implementation stage."
"If it's quick, the news is expected to be announced in the next few days."
One can imagine how much pressure Pin Xixi's emergence put on Ahri.
"After the merger, what are Ahri's plans to do with the Haode map?" Zhang Shuo asked with concern.
"In response to this matter, we have sent a letter to Ahri and expressed appropriate concerns. Ahri's reply is that Haode Maps will still serve the new company, but users need to set it up themselves."
"Ahri is good at asking for trouble."
Zhang Shuo smiled and shook his head, obviously not prepared to let it go so gently.
"Yes, Ahri's handling of the matter seems to have been explained, but in essence it has harmed Hao De Map's interests. We will continue to make stern representations to Ahri on this matter," Lu Qi replied.
"Negotiation is of course necessary."
Zhang Shuo seemed to have a new idea, "The key to the question now is, what kind of benefits do we want to obtain through this incident, and what kind of purpose do we want to achieve?"
"Are you taking the opportunity to control Hao De Map? This is obviously unrealistic."
With Ahri's desire for control, there is no way he would give up control of Hao De's map.
Although Haode Maps has been on the verge of losing money, map navigation itself is a huge traffic portal and is naturally closely related to local life services.
How could Ah Li give up the fat in her mouth so easily?
"Is it possible to use Hao De's map to make a fuss and provoke suspicion between Ah Li and Qian Du, and then achieve the purpose of driving a wedge between Ah Li and Qian Du?" Lu Kai suddenly interrupted.
The sudden personnel adjustment made Lu Kai immediately feel a sense of crisis.
It’s even more important to show off.
"How to separate?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"For example, we have a tougher attitude here and require Ahri to effectively protect Hao De Map's interests in the new company. No matter what, we have to be 50-50 with Qiandu Map."
"You can consider letting the IOS version use Haode Map by default, and the Android version use Qiandu Map by default."
"In this case, there will definitely be a rift between Ahri and Qiandu."
Lu Kai is also quite shady.
"Given Ah Li's appearance, he is very likely to agree to this condition and borrow the donkey."
Zhang Shuo laughed.
The matter has been settled like this. Next, it depends on how Ah Li takes the move.
………
After the meeting, Zhang Shuo called Lu Kai to the office alone.
He also personally poured Lu Kai a cup of tea.
After sitting down, Zhang Shuo smiled and said, "Don't you understand this personnel adjustment?"
"A little bit."
Lu Kai no longer pretended to be stupid.
Obviously, he also knows when to be polite and when to tell the truth in the workplace.
Your boss has asked you to talk to him alone, and you are still pretending to be confused and acting in vain. How can you talk to your boss about your heart and gain his trust?
That's not smart, that's stupid.
"It's normal not to understand."
Sure enough, seeing Lu Kai's honesty, Zhang Shuo stopped beating around the bush and gave Lu Kai a clear answer with a smile, "I plan to terminate the rotating president system after Mr. Lu ends his term as rotating president in April next year."
"???"
A light seemed to flash in Lu Kai's eyes.
"When the time comes, you will officially assume the position of president of the group. What do you think?"
Zhang Shuo finally solved the mystery.
Since Lu Kai has completely gained the upper hand in the competition with Lu Qi, and since Gu Mingzhang voluntarily quit, there is no need to maintain the rotating president system.
If Lu Kai is supported in a timely manner, everything will come naturally.
"Thank you, Chairman, for trusting me..."
Happiness came so suddenly that for a moment, Lu Kai didn't know what to say.
"Don't get excited and don't make any noise. After all, this is just a preliminary idea of mine." Zhang Shuo obviously didn't want Lu Kai to get too carried away, so he deliberately left a hook.
"I understand, Chairman, don't worry, I will definitely do my part."
Lu Kai was also very human and quickly recovered from his strange emotions.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not to mention that he has not taken over as president yet, even if he takes over as president, it is just the beginning of a new test. Whether he can carry the banner of Germination Group in the future depends on
That remains to be seen.
After all, the big boss is still so young, so he has time to re-examine and train his successor.
How could Lu Kai dare to be proud?
………
In the office, after Lu Kai was sent away, Zhang Shuo leaned on the sofa and rubbed his forehead.
In fact, Zhang Shuo had already started secretly planning for this personnel adjustment as early as the National Day holiday when he was on vacation with his family in Meiya.
When the time comes, terminating the rotating president system and supporting Lu Kai to take over will mean that Zhang Shuo will further withdraw from the daily management of Germinal Group.
After that, more energy will be spent on strategic thinking about the Germinal Group.
Especially after Zhang Shuo proposed the dual-engine driving strategy of "investment and industry", Germination Group will enter many fields that he is unfamiliar with, so it needs to think more and recharge.
The dividends of rebirth will eventually run out one day.
Zhang Shuo must grow up completely before that day comes, and be able to still be the helmsman of the Germinal Group and lead the group forward when facing an unknown market environment and unknown prospects.
Of course it's difficult.
Fortunately, Zhang Shuo never stopped studying on his own and always warned himself not to drift.
To ensure that Sprout Group continues to achieve steady and long-term development, in addition to Zhang Shuo's personal leadership, there must also be a professional, united, and experienced senior management team around him.
This is also the basic logic of this personnel adjustment.
First, he pushed Lu Kai to the front desk, and then took the opportunity to promote his close friends Zhao Mingchuan and Liu Xiaohui to more key positions, in order to strengthen Zhang Shuo's control and loyalty to the team.
Thus.
Even if Lu Kai becomes the group president in the future, he will not be able to really do whatever he wants. If he wants to gain the support of senior executives such as Gu Mingzhang, Lu Qi, Jiang Yue, Zhao Mingchuan, etc., he must resolutely implement Zhang Shuo's instructions.
………
Day, Ahri headquarters.
Facing the second warning letter about the Haode map sent by Mei Yao, the uncle had to pay attention and specially called Ren Xiaoyao to the office to discuss countermeasures.
"What do you think of Germination's new proposal?" the uncle asked.
"I think it would be better to agree to Mo Ya's proposal. This is considered a reasonable concern, and it is not an unreasonable thing to do because of the relationship between our two families."
Ren Xiaoyao still appreciates the professional way in which sprouts deal with their differences.
Talking about business is pretty good.
"With Bu Ya's nature, he was able to send a warning letter in advance and discuss it with us in a good manner. To be honest, this is far beyond my previous expectations." Ren Xiaoyao added.
He originally thought that Meiya would take the opportunity to hinder the merger of Ali-Dianping and Nomi Dianping.
The result was not.
Although Zhang Shuo prides himself on being gentle, in the eyes of competitors such as Ali and Tengda, Sprout Group's style in the industry is often very domineering, and it often resorts to legal action.
"But how should I explain it to Qiandu?"
Of course, the uncle also knows that Ahli is the one who is wronged in handling this matter.
Therefore, it is difficult to toughen your attitude.
"To be honest, originally, during this merger process, we have already made a lot of concessions. There is no reason to continue to retreat again and again." Ren Xiaoyao was stubborn.
"Then do as you wish."
Seeing this, the uncle finally made up his mind.
………
Day, Qiandu headquarters.
Ahri's toughness immediately led to renewed turmoil in the merger negotiations, forcing Qiandu President Gong Juren to urgently return to the capital to report the situation to the big boss.
"Boss, Ahri suddenly changed his mind and caught us off guard."
"Is there any room for negotiation?"
The third master said that he was also very hurt. We had a good conversation, but why did it suddenly happen like this.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Gong Juren looked frustrated. "Ali's attitude is very tough, saying that it has made a lot of concessions. If it doesn't work, it will not hesitate to terminate the cooperation negotiations."
"What did Tengda say?" Sanye asked.
According to common sense, in this merger negotiation, Tenda and Qiandu should be on the same front, advancing and retreating together to ensure that the negotiation process is not influenced by Ahri.
This was used to force Ahri to make concessions.
On this point, there is still a tacit understanding between Tengda and Qiandu.
"Forget it, Tengda also suddenly turned back. It agreed with Ahri's demands, but instead persuaded us, saying that we should put the overall situation first."
Apparently seeing that the negotiation was about to succeed and Tenda had already obtained the benefits it wanted, in order to facilitate the smooth progress of the merger, Tenda did not hesitate to "make a favor".
This is very tenacious!
It can be seen that from the beginning to the end, the three parties have their own agendas.
"Humph, Tengda is quite generous."
Naturally, Third Master was extremely angry at Tengda's sudden betrayal.
"Then, should the negotiation continue?" Gong Juren asked in a low voice.
"What do you think?"
The third master gave Gong Juren a meaningful look.
Gong Juren understood instantly.
The current situation is very clear. With Tengda rebelling, Qiandu is now the most vulnerable party. It can either choose to accept this "humiliating" concession, or it can only be a dead end. No one can think about it.
And obviously, the current Qiandu is not determined to fight to the death.
I have no choice but to accept it if I don’t accept it.
………
Day, Friday.
On the last working day of this month, Ali, Tenda, and Qiandu finally reached a mutual compromise and held a joint press conference to announce the merger of Ali-Dianping and Nomi Dianping.
The new company was named Arnold Group, and the word "Dianping" was officially removed, which shows its ambition.
After announcing the merger, Arnold Group will continue to maintain the independent operations of Ali-Dianping and Nomi-Dianping in the next year.
The only thing is to open up the data of the two apps as soon as possible to achieve interconnection and interoperability.
Final goal.
It is to use one app to completely replace the other app to achieve the purpose of deep integration.
In this process, before the merger of the two apps, Arnold Group will also accelerate the in-depth integration of the human, material and financial resources of Ali-Dianping and Nomi-Dianping.
This is the hardest part.
In particular, the integration of the top-level executive team means that nearly half of the executives will face the risk of being "demoted," "sitting on the bench," or even fired.
The internal chaos and shock are bound to last for a long time.
The good thing is that both Ali Dianping and Nomi Dianping are backed by giants. Ali, Tenda, and Qiandu have all stated that they will accept people who are "overflowed" by the new company.
There is also the intention to prevent Qingcheng Group from taking advantage.
We would rather transfer them internally than let these talents flow into the talent market.
The outside world is generally optimistic about this merger, because it is Scarlet Capital who is leading the merger, and Ali, Tenda, etc. also have rich integration experience.
It’s not like Guomei from the original time and space.
In order to revamp the version, Guomei directly renamed its own app Zhen Happy App. It is simple and crude, and the name is easy to remember, but it leaves consumers confused——
"What the hell does this Zhen Happy have to do with Guomei?"
It's all nonsense.
The result is that, with more than one billion dollars of real money thrown at her, Zhen Kaixin has done nothing.
That’s called unprofessional!
With the emergence of the Arnold Group, China's local life service industry is bound to usher in a new round of reshuffle, from a three-legged confrontation to a two-legged rivalry.
But as the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
After the merger, the Arnold Group will only be more aggressive, especially after eliminating internal friction, it will have more energy and funds to challenge the Qingcheng Group.
Qingcheng Group can no longer sit back and watch.
"In the next period of time, Qingcheng Group will either follow suit and provide subsidies, or sit back and watch its market share be swallowed up by Arnold Group. Otherwise, Qingcheng Group has no third way to go."
At the internal founding meeting of the Arnold Group, the uncle made this bold statement.
