Chapter 471: Plan for the next ten years, lay out mineral resources, and improve the industrial chain!
After signing the grant application, Zhang Shuo looked through the company briefing again.
During the seven-day National Day holiday, Zhang Shuo did not go to work, which does not mean that Germination did not continue to operate. In addition to the production department, many Internet business departments were working overtime.
For example, the game operation and maintenance team.
During the holidays, various games under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, whether mobile games, client games, or even stand-alone games, all experienced an online peak.
Of course, it is also the peak of recharge turnover.
Another example is Weixin, Pinxixi, Qingcheng, Panda Live, Tiantian Toutiao and other apps, which are frequently used during holidays and must be maintained in real time.
There is also the newly released Maili X3, which has experienced a sales peak during the holidays.
The real daily income makes money!
In addition, during the National Day, under Gu Mingzhang's personal planning, an electronic product dealer in Korea "took the initiative" to negotiate with Maili Group and became the general agent of Maili Group in Korea.
The company also opened its first and only Maili offline experience store in Korea.
Because of the agency.
The price of Maili X3 in Korea is 100 yuan higher than in Japan, Southeast Asia and other markets.
This made the Koreans very vulnerable.
"What the hell, can our Korean company have some backbone?"
"A certain Korean company: No one knows more backbone than me!"
"Axi, I'm really fed up, and I actually asked to be an agent for Wheat Products."
"Just be an agent, I won't buy it anyway."
"Yes, I will definitely not buy the Maili X3. Isn't the Samsung S5 delicious?"
I'm afraid some Korean people don't have enough confidence to say this.
The fact is that after the opening of the Maili Koryo offline experience store, many Koryo consumers, whether curious or admiring, stepped into the store.
And there are indeed people buying it.
After all, not everyone has such a strong national complex, and they won’t buy it unless they are Samsung.
There are indeed some who are really unhappy with the chaebol.
This also led to MaiLi mobile phone finally successfully entering the Korean market again, although the market share is negligibly low, even far below Pingguo.
But given time, it may not be impossible to make a good turnaround in the Korean market.
Let’s put a nail in first.
In China, there is a saying of "Golden Nine and Silver Ten" in the automobile and real estate industries. During the National Day holiday, Mango car sales are also the highlight moment, and all major offline experience stores are overcrowded.
One group is prosperous.
Compared with last year, the popularity and acceptance of new energy vehicles in the market have increased to a certain extent. Especially as major first- and second-tier cities have launched subsidies for new energy vehicles, accelerated the construction of infrastructure such as charging piles, and improved green cards.
Policies such as licensing and the prospects of new energy vehicles are increasingly favored by all parties.
In addition to these, major companies also made routine reports on the upcoming arrangements after the holiday.
For example, Pinxixi Group.
As Double Eleven is approaching, the most important task for Pin Xixi in the next month or so is to prepare for the Double Eleven Shopping Festival and strive to have another good fight.
If.
The previous 618 was just a warm-up, so Double Eleven is the real home game.
Not only Pinxixi, but also encountered the winter of Waterloo on 618. This time, it is also full of energy, starting the Double Eleven marketing warm-up in advance, determined to win back the victory.
China's three major e-commerce platforms are once again igniting smoke.
But what Zhang Shuo is concerned about is a piece of information revealed by Du Qingqing, saying that he learned from authoritative channels that Ahli has hinted or threatened some cooperative merchants not to participate in Pin Xixi's Double Eleven event.
This made Du Qingqing very angry.
"Ali, you really haven't changed your character, and you have finally taken this step."
Zhang Shuo's eyes were deep.
Thinking about it, in this life, due to the emergence of Germination, the glory of Tengda is no longer, but it also highlights Ahri's arrogance from another dimension.
What is there that you dare not do?
"Forget it, let Ahri teach you a lesson."
Zhang Shuo thought for a moment and only replied four words to Du Qingqing——
“Just wait and see what happens!”
If Ahri is really awesome, Zhang Shuo won't mind and will cause a big storm on the Chinese Internet.
It’s better to explode early than late!
………
Time flies to the weekend.
On Sunday morning, Zhang Shuo chatted with his second uncle in Mr. Tang's yard. As they chatted, they came to the issue of the accumulation of funds in the sprout account and the lack of suitable investment channels.
The reason why Zhang Shuo discussed this topic with his second uncle was a little cautious.
When Sprout Group entered the pharmaceutical industry before, although its original intentions were good and all its operating methods were in compliance with laws and regulations, it was inevitably reported and feared by its peers.
Under such a situation, Zhang Shuo's worries deepened, so he asked his second uncle for advice.
"You are a bit Versailles!"
Tang Yi smiled and glared at Zhang Shuo, but felt slightly surprised in his heart. First, he didn't expect that Mei Ya was so profitable, and second, he didn't expect that Mei Ya's capital chain was so healthy.
He has not forgotten that just a year ago, Zhang Shuo was worried about his budding capital chain and applied for tens of billions of medium and long-term loans from major banks.
In just one year, the situation has completely turned around, which is really incredible.
Of course, I also heard Zhang Shuo’s hidden meaning.
After thinking about it, Tang Yi immediately said: "If you really don't have any suitable investment projects, you can consider entering the heavy industry, such as mining, energy, chemical industry and other fields."
"This, I'm afraid the threshold is too high?"
Zhang Shuo was very surprised.
After all, this is China's heavy industrial field such as mining, energy, chemical industry, etc., which has always been the home field of the national team. It is difficult for private capital to have much room to play.
This is very different from the Western world.
Take the mining industry as an example, let alone the domestic one. Even if it is deployed overseas, even if it is spent to acquire mines overseas, the follow-up will also involve a series of issues such as maritime transportation and port operations.
It’s really hard for an outsider’s company to do this.
No matter how confident Zhang Shuo was, he had never thought about letting Mo Ya get involved in these fields before.
The only heavy industry field that Germination is involved in may be Nebula Aviation. It was also a coincidence that it successfully acquired Mada Qiqi at the right time.
Otherwise, Nebula Group would not be able to enter the aero-engine field.
The bar is too high!
"In fields such as minerals, energy, and chemicals, the threshold is high, but the official attitude has also been adjusted recently, encouraging the introduction of some high-quality private capital to jointly operate and grow bigger and stronger."
Tang Yi immediately gave Zhang Shuo some advice.
A high threshold does not mean that it is a restricted area. Especially for high-quality private capital such as bud investment, the government is still open and willing to cooperate with each other for win-win results.
There are many precedents in itself.
Take the mining industry as an example. Many mining groups have gone public. Isn’t that also a form of openness?
"Yeah?"
Zhang Shuo's eyes also lit up. He finally became interested and said with a smile: "If possible, then Mo Ya is very interested in entering the mining industry."
This was not Zhang Shuo's temporary idea.
Under Sprout Group, whether it is Daosui Group, which is engaged in the semiconductor industry, or Maili Group, which manufactures finished products, Mango Group, including Nebula Group, all have different needs for mineral resources.
In particular, some rare earth ores can be regarded as strategic resources.
Although China itself is a super rare earth power and plays a decisive role in the global rare earth market, there are many types of rare earths and it is not completely self-sufficient.
There are still many rare earths that need to be purchased overseas.
In the future, if there is any force that wants to deal with or stumbling against Suiya, then starting with rare earths or other mineral resources might seize a weak link of the Suiya Group.
therefore--
If this loophole can be plugged now, that would be great.
Another point is that investing in the mining industry can not only form a synergistic effect with the manufacturing business of the Germination Group, but also make up for the shortcomings in the industrial chain.
Even from an investment perspective, it is a very good deal.
Especially thinking from a long-term perspective.
22 years ago, Zhang Shuo relied on his foresight to make budding investments that were always successful.
But this bonus will disappear.
As the helmsman of the Germination Group and a family member, Zhang Shuo must seriously think about a question from now on, that is - 20 years from now, how will Germination proceed in the next ten years?
What about the next ten years?
You know, after 22 years, whether it is the Internet industry, mobile phones, semiconductors and other industries, there will be a winter dilemma of declining overall market demand.
No matter how powerful Zhang Shuo is, he still can't compete with the general trend.
You can only go with the flow.
Before difficulties really come, we should make more preparations to enhance the risk resistance and resilience of Germination Group, and face the coming market winter with a more calm attitude.
It's still necessary.
In the fields of mining, energy, chemicals and other heavy industries, although the profits are not as exaggerated as those of the Internet and mobile phones, the focus is on stable return on investment, which can be regarded as a good investment supplement.
Just like Weiruan founder Gaichi.
As a veteran of the world's richest man, although his follow-up efforts are not very revealing, the investment landscape hidden under the ice is quite astonishing.
Just by buying land, he became the largest landowner in the beautiful country.
It can be seen that it is a stable horse.
In contrast, there is the "legendary" soft gold group.
When talking about Soft Finance Group, the first definition that comes to mind is probably that Soft Gold Group successfully bet on Ali, thereby earning a thousand times return on investment, and then became a legend in the industry.
It can be said to be a "momentary bright spot" with the South Philippine newspaper industry.
But unlike the relatively stable newspaper industry in South Philippines, Soft Finance Group has been on a roll since it bet on the magic weapon, and even became stunned, forming a serious path dependence.
After betting on the Chinese Internet market, I now want to bet on the Tianzhu Internet market.
Trying to chase the next super trend.
To this end, Soft Finance Group has joined forces with Middle Eastern tycoons to spend a lot of money in the Tianzhu Internet market.
We have invested in all areas such as e-commerce, taxi hailing, and express hotels. And in each market segment, we have invested in all start-up companies on the market, which is very proud.
At its peak, more than US$60 billion was burned in just over a year.
But in the end, what the Soft Gold Group got was nothing but chicken feathers, and it failed to give birth to a second Ahri.
The result is--
The once-famous Soft Finance Group suffered losses of up to US$26 billion in a single quarter in 2022. It had to break its commitment to long-term holdings of Ali shares and reduce its holdings of Ali shares to make up for the shortfall.
It's really sad.
It also seems to confirm an old saying——
"Wealth gained by luck will eventually be lost by strength!"
no doubt.
Soft Finance Group is the best negative example, and one that Zhang Shuo needs to learn from.
We must not repeat the mistakes of Soft Finance Group.
"Minerals? It's a good entry point. How about it? Do you have any specific goals?" Tang Yi obviously wanted to help to the end and directly help with the matchmaking.
"How about Blue Gold Mining and Luoyang Molybdenum?"
Zhang Shuo is not polite either.
Needless to say, Blue Gold Mining is a giant that mainly focuses on gold mining and other fields. It is also considered one of the stars of the Chinese stock market.
The same is true for Luoyang Molybdenum Industry.
Even from a purely financial investment perspective, it is a business that is sure to make money without losing money.
"You came prepared."
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he might have been deceived by Zhang Shuo.
But in the end, he smiled and nodded.
………
Day, Monday.
In the new week's regular meeting, there is no doubt that establishing new strategic investment directions and appropriately tilting them towards the fields of minerals, energy, chemical industry and other fields has become the highlight of the meeting.
Because it is a new strategic direction, the meeting is rarely chaired by Zhang Shuo himself.
"My suggestion is that the group personally places bets in the mineral field. At the same time, in the energy and chemical fields, it follows the previous practice and focuses on financial investment."
At the beginning of the meeting, Zhang Shuo set a general tone.
Finally, after discussion, it was decided that the group headquarters would allocate 10 billion funds to Germination Investment to establish a special investment fund, mainly for investment in the energy and chemical fields.
It's a test of the waters.
After all, both energy and chemicals are asset-heavy fields.
Tens of billions of dollars can only play a very limited role.
In the mining field, Germinal Group decided to set up a subsidiary "Xinghai Mining" to carry out the group's business operations and investments in the mining field.
The development plan of Xinghai Mining will be mainly divided into the following stages.
The first stage, of course, is to invest in two star companies, Blue Gold Mining and Luoyang Molybdenum, and take this opportunity of cooperation to form a management team in the mining industry to understand the industry situation.
We are not involved in specific operations for the time being.
The second stage is to consider cooperating with Blue Gold Mining and Luoyang Molybdenum to invest in mineral resources overseas.
In the future, you can consider independently investing in minerals overseas.
A longer-term plan may be to participate in the investment and construction of ports, terminals and other infrastructure, extending to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.
It can be said.
Through this meeting, a grand blueprint was drawn for the layout of Germination in the mineral field.
And after the meeting.
However, Zhang Shuo rarely called the security captain Li Feng to the office alone.
