Chapter 468: Pingguo suffers another setback, and Maili is about to ascend the Iron Throne?!
Zhang Shuo injects soul into Qing Ning Group, and the next step is execution.
This is no small matter.
If Qing Ning Research Institute wants to get started and achieve the expected goals set by Zhang Shuo, the first thing to do is to start investing and acquire some relevant domestic and foreign laboratories and research institutes.
at the same time.
Of course, we also need to hire top scientists in cutting-edge fields such as biopharmaceuticals and life sciences, and rely on the Thousand Talents Plan of Germinal Group to invite them to join Qing Ning Research Institute and take charge of the overall situation.
Without top scientists taking the lead, there would be no cutting-edge research.
In this area, Qingmeng Group, relying on the big tree of Sprout Group, actually has many innate advantages.
With the help of the Chunmiao Fund, Sprout has established good cooperative relationships with major universities and research institutes in China. There is no need to be blind to the elephant. The Fertile Soil Award awarded every year covers cutting-edge fields in the field of life sciences.
It is naturally easy to access top scientists in this field.
Second, Germination is famous for its support and persistence in research and development in the Chinese industry.
If other pharmaceutical giants say they want to engage in research and development, scientists may still be a little worried, worried that the company is trying to spread the pie, use gimmicks, and pile up concepts.
But the budding series will never do it. If they say they are engaged in R&D, they will be doing R&D honestly.
if there is.
It shouldn’t be difficult for Qing Ning Group to hire top scientists.
Of course, the above is just the foundation stage. Next, Qing Ning Research Institute should follow the operation model of Fertile Soil Research Institute and set up laboratories and R&D centers around the world.
Including jointly planning with major universities and officials to build provincial and even national laboratories.
This establishes a smooth industry-university-research link.
And the Eastern University of Science and Technology, which was established with the support of Mei Ya, will be a very good cooperation platform.
You can achieve mutual success with Qing Ning Group.
Previously, Eastern University of Science and Technology also wanted to attract some top overseas scholars and professors to majors in biopharmaceuticals, life sciences, etc., and for this purpose it also offered excellent salary packages.
However, there is only salary but no corresponding R&D platform.
Qing Ning Research Institute just fills this link.
The teaching platform of Eastern University of Science and Technology and the R&D platform of Qingning Research Institute have opened up the link between industry, academia and research in one fell swoop, and I believe it can attract top scientists in the field of life sciences from overseas to join.
Especially for some Chinese scientists, the temptation is even greater.
After opening up the industry-university-research link, the next step is to continuously invest in research and development funds and wait patiently. Only then can we say that it will bear fruit.
Of course, it is also possible that hundreds of billions of R&D budgets are spent, but no applicable results are obtained.
This is all normal.
This is why companies are very cautious about their investment in R&D. Even if they invest in R&D, they are working on the application level rather than working on both the application and theory levels at the same time.
Theoretical research should have been made by universities on their own.
But in China, similar scientific research conditions, to be honest, are definitely not as mature as those in beautiful countries. And with Zhang Shuo's style of doing things, he certainly won't wait to get it, but will start it first.
Be self-reliant!
………
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Shuo, accompanied by Tang Xiang, attended the foundation laying ceremony of the Binhai City Mango Super Factory.
The second uncle even came to the platform in person.
Because this is not just a problem of a car factory, but Binhai City hopes to follow the example of Shanghai City and build a huge new energy vehicle industry base using the Mango Super Factory as a guide.
Binhai City has chosen to actively embrace the new energy vehicle industry.
Compared with Shanghai, Binhai City also has advantages. It has battery supporting companies such as BYAT and Linde New Energy. BYAT is also interested in personally participating in the new energy vehicle track.
With the addition of Mango Group, the industrial agglomeration effect it can produce may not be worse than that of Magic City.
In a sense, this is actually a competition between the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta in the field of new energy automobile industry.
It is not difficult to understand the positive attitude of Binhai City. For the mango super factory project, it has given the green light almost all the way, and the approval procedures have been simplified. In terms of preferential policies, it has provided all it can.
"Whatever the Magic City doesn't have, Binhai City has it; whatever Magic City doesn't have, Binhai City also has it."
The chief official of Binhai City said so.
In addition, Binhai City itself is the headquarters of the Sprout Group. When the two parties cooperate, it can be said that there are no communication barriers and everything seems to fall into place.
It’s a win-win!
In the lounge, Zhang Shuo was chatting with his second uncle.
"I heard that Qing Ning Group's headquarters is located in Lin'an?" Tang Yi asked with a smile.
"Yes, Jiangnan Province is a good place."
"Hmm." Tang Yi was so shrewd that he immediately understood the meaning behind Zhang Shuo's words, and then asked: "Next, Qing Ning Group will not make any major mergers and acquisitions, right?"
Fanxing Group had previously instigated several small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies to sue Qingning Group for unfair competition in its acquisition of Vitron Medical and Marui Medical.
Although this incident did not cause any turmoil on the Internet, the industry was well aware of it, including some big bosses who did not know the truth. They criticized Qing Ning Group's radical expansion.
Some people even complained privately.
In Lingnan Province alone, Tang Yi personally gave instructions to eliminate the relevant effects.
But, even though he protected Mei Ya and trusted Zhang Shuo, Tang Yi was actually a little unsure about Qing Ning Group's next move. He seemed to be asking questions, but in fact he was reminding Zhang Shuo in disguise——
"It's time for Green Lemon Group to avoid the limelight. It's best not to engage in any major mergers and acquisitions recently."
So as not to cause unnecessary trouble!
"Of course there will be mergers and acquisitions, and the number will not be small, but it will be different from the previous ones." Zhang Shuo pretended not to understand his second uncle's hint and was a little naughty.
"oh?"
Tang Yi's heart skipped a beat. He was really afraid that Zhang Shuo would cause trouble. Is the boy in a hurry?
"Is such that……"
Zhang Shuo refused to show off and simply told his second uncle about the establishment of Qing Ning Research Institute.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You kid!"
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, then tapped Zhang Shuo with his finger, "Well done!"
"Just... can the budding capital chain support such a big move?"
Tang Yi was worried.
"The foundation of the Qing Ning Group is too weak, and the Qing Ning Research Institute is almost starting from scratch, so the initial moves will not be big or big," Zhang Shuo explained with a smile.
With China's weak foundation in this field, it is impossible for China to become a big fat man in one go.
It also requires patience.
"The preliminary plan is that Qing Ning Group will achieve annual R&D expenditures of more than 50 billion within five years; within ten years, annual R&D expenditures will exceed 100 billion." Zhang Shuo is still as generous as ever.
As for profits, I'm afraid we won't be able to count on them for a long time to come.
"That will be another Big Mac."
Tang Yi still has a very strategic vision and realizes that if Qing Ning Research Institute really succeeds in this step, it will be like rebirth and rebirth for Qing Ning Group.
Ten years later, it will be enough to compete head-on with global pharmaceutical giants.
Thinking about it, I'm quite looking forward to it.
"If that's the case, then just go ahead and do it. I fully support it." Tang Yi said with a smile.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Of course Zhang Shuo also knew that behind his back, his second uncle had been protecting him from wind and rain.
Otherwise, how could it be so chic?
………
Time has entered September in a blink of an eye, and it’s the beginning of the new school year.
Of course, Zhang Shuo has no place to go to school. Eastern University of Technology, which has been under preparation for nearly two years, has welcomed its first batch of freshmen, all of whom are master's and doctoral students. Undergraduate admissions will not open until next year.
In comparison.
Jiangcheng Vocational and Technical College, which was under construction at the beginning of this year, is still under intensive construction and will not officially enroll students until September next year.
Friday, September 5th.
Pingguo held a world-famous autumn conference as scheduled, officially launching Pingguo 6 and 6 plus. It also released smartwatch h, as well as mobile payment and a new version of IOS system.
In the original time and space, this should be one of Pingguo's most glorious moments.
Because Pingguo 6 is known as a miracle machine of the generation, it is another classic style that Pingguo has achieved a major breakthrough in appearance after Pingguo 4. It marks that Pingguo has finally let go of its stature and officially entered the big screen era.
The sales volume of Pingguo 6 in history also explains everything.
The global cumulative sales volume of Original Spacetime, Pingguo 6 and 6 plus has reached a terrifying 220 million units.
That’s right, that’s 200 million!
As a high-end model, what an amazing data is this?
Comparing the Pingguo 5S released by Pingguo last year, the cumulative global sales of Pingguo are only over 52 million units, which is only a quarter of the Pingguo 6 and 6 plus.
It is reported that even five years after Pingguo 6 was launched, there are still consumers buying it, which shows its popularity among consumers around the world.
The sales figure of 200 million has even become the swan song of the Pingguo series.
Subsequently, sales of the Pingguo 6s series, which continued the classic styling of the Pingguo 6, shrank to more than 120 million units, but it also firmly occupied the second place in the most profitable Pingguo series sales rankings.
It is also the only Pingguo series whose single model sales exceed 100 million.
This also reflects from the side how perfect and popular the industrial design of Pingguo 6 is.
But in this life, the classic appearance design of Pingguo 6 was completely "borrowed" from the past by Maili X1 as early as 2012, and has continued to Maili X2, thus becoming a new generation of magic machine in the hearts of global consumers.
How to break Pingguo 6?
Previously, Pingguo's design director Qiao Bisen was publicly complaining about Xiaomi's plagiarism. You can't just turn around and Pingguo plagiarize Maili yourself, right?
The high-end "personality" that Pingguo has always focused on will collapse soon!
Mai Li can probably wake up laughing from his dreams.
The result is that the appearance design of this generation's Pingguo 6 has been changed to something nondescript.
How nondescript?
It not only inherits some features of Pingguo 5, but also draws on some features of Maili X1, and also adds some features of the original Time and Space Pingguo 7. The whole thing is a hodgepodge.
It's really hard for Qiao Naisen. I guess my hair has fallen out a lot in the past year.
But such a Pingguo 6 obviously cannot satisfy consumers. In addition, Pingguo 6 has actually been "leaked" before the press conference. Netizens did not believe it before and looked forward to any new surprises at the press conference.
The results of it?
The biggest surprise is that there are no surprises.
Including the newly launched Pingguo smart watch, it only repeats the industrial design plan that has been announced before, and neither the pre-sale time nor the pricing is given.
It can be said that there is almost no useful information.
This has resulted in the Pingguo autumn conference, which has attracted global attention, inevitably repeating the mistakes of last year, becoming lackluster and without any surprises.
Chinese netizens complained even more.
"That's it?"
"I was looking forward to it originally, but now there are no troubles."
"How do you feel that Pingguo 6 has a little bit of Mai Li X1?"
“Be confident, remove the feeling, it’s still there!
"
"More than just Pingguo, the classic shape of Maili X1 has almost reshaped the entire smartphone ecosystem, making metal casings and glass panels suddenly become the mainstream of the market."
"Then you still have the nerve to mock Xiaomi?"
“I can only blame Xiaomi for not knowing how to copy. It’s not good to copy anyone. I just copied the outdated Pingguo 4.”
"Xiao Mi: I..."
“Not only is it Pingguo 6, but now when I look back at Pingguo watches, I can see that they are completely borrowing from Maili smart watches. They don’t even want to show their shame, and the reference is just and aboveboard.”
"Pingguo is getting worse and worse. Since the gang leader left, innovation has been lackluster!
"
"With this price and such configuration, I have absolutely no desire to buy it."
"I still have to watch Maili X3, I hope it can bring a little surprise!"
The only positive effect may be to raise the expectations of global consumers for the Mai Li launch conference.
That's all!
………
Tuesday, September 9th.
Yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the holiday, Zhang Shuo appeared in the office again.
Of course, the most concerning thing is Pingguo’s autumn press conference.
Three days have passed since the press conference. It is reported that the pre-sale data of Pingguo 6 is appalling, which makes Pingguo rarely release specific data. Even though the sales of the product have begun in the domestic offline stores, it has not been able to reproduce the grand scene of overnight queues.
The Chinese scalpers are wailing all over the place, missing another opportunity to make a fortune.
Judging from this situation, it is basically a foregone conclusion that Pingguo will encounter Waterloo again.
Just three days later, that is, this Friday, Maili Group will hold an autumn press conference to officially launch Maili X3, Maili Tablet 2.0 and Maili smart watches.
Perhaps, this year will also be a year where the strengths of Pingguo and Maili are intertwined.
The latest statistics within the MaiLi Group are that the total global sales of MaiLi X2 and MaiLi have exceeded 70 million units, setting a new record and far exceeding previous expectations.
Follow this trend.
As long as the MaiLi X3 performs normally, and Pingguo 6 fails ahead, and the global smartphone market will usher in a blowout era in the next two years, the total global sales of the MaiLi X3 series will exceed 100 million units, which will no longer be just a luxury wish.
is a realistic goal.
If so.
So within two or three years, Maili Group is expected to kick Pingguo off the throne and become the world's most profitable mobile phone manufacturer.
none of them.
“I’m really looking forward to it just thinking about it!”
Zhang Shuo also hopes to use the huge profits handed over by Maili Group to do more useful things, such as research and development in the field of life sciences...
