Chapter 485 Finally upgraded to level 12 and started a new journey?!
After discussing Cao Yanhua's successor, the Human Resources Director focused on the selection of the Chief Economist.
"Xu Yinfeng, 45 years old, has a master's degree in auditing from Renmin University. He once served as a senior partner of PWC and currently serves as the chief economist of Huaxia Construction Group."
Judging from his resume, Xu Yinfeng is undoubtedly suitable.
With experience in working in the world's top accounting firms and as a chief economist in a state-owned enterprise, I believe that I am qualified for the job in terms of professional ethics, execution ability, and vision.
Such a great talent can only be attracted by an invitation from the Germination Group.
"Okay, let's try it for one year first."
As for professional talents, Zhang Shuo is not able to draw conclusions. He can only slowly come into contact with and inspect them at work.
At the same time, we must also trust the professional standards of Human Resources Director Wu Sheyuan.
At the end of the meeting, Lu Kai took the initiative to mention something: "Chairman, I request to step down from my concurrent position as president of Weizhong Group. I am really too busy."
As the president of the group, Lu Kai already has enough things to deal with. Now he also has to take charge of two group subsidiaries, Qing Ning Group and Xinghai Mining.
It's really a bit overwhelming.
"Oh, what about Song Xiaohui?" Zhang Shuo smiled.
When Song Xiaohui joined the Sprout Group, he served as the manager of the Sprout Financial Holdings Department. Subsequently, with the establishment of the Weizhong Group, he served as the vice president of the Weizhong Group.
He is Lu Kai's most effective helper in Weizhong Group.
"What do you mean?"
Lu Kai had a tendency to refuse and welcome.
"Then let's take Song Xiaohui."
Zhang Shuo took a deep look at Lu Kai and followed Lu Kai's wishes.
………
In a blink of an eye, the weekend is here again.
On Saturday morning, when Zhang Shuo walked into Mr. Tang’s courtyard carrying fruits, he unexpectedly discovered that Tang Yu was also there. He couldn’t help but jokingly said: “What a rare visitor!”
"Yo~~"
Tang Yu was extremely thick-skinned and did not take any precautions at all. Instead, he took the initiative to approach Zhang Shuo and asked to please him: "Third brother, will the stock market continue to rise?"
"What, are you scared?"
The crazy stock market has been going on for almost a year, and more and more people have been involved.
"Kind of."
In the past month, Tang Yu has really been in a state of panic.
In order to support Tang Yu's stock trading, Zhang Shuo borrowed one million. One year later, this capital has doubled several times in the stock market, and the profit earned is probably more than Tang Yu will earn in a lifetime of work.
It's really a bit too magical.
It also felt increasingly unreal, and I even felt very uneasy.
"There is a saying in the stock market: When others are crazy, I am afraid. Since you are afraid and you have made enough, then go ashore in time." Zhang Shuo did not forget to give pointers.
If I remember correctly.
In the original time and space, in June, the stock market will usher in a wail, and all the profits made before will be vomited back.
"Okay, I listen to you."
Tang Yu was hesitant at first, but after listening to Zhang Shuo's words, he immediately became determined to withdraw from the stock market. He already had enough pocket money anyway, so he couldn't be too greedy.
"Yanzi, Sister Ling and the others are also trading in stocks. Third brother, should I remind them?"
Tang Yu is quite interesting and never forgets his best friends.
"It's OK to remind them, but I'm afraid they won't be willing to stop."
The madness of the stock market is, to put it bluntly, the greed of human nature. How can it be so easy to hold on?!
after all.
Not everyone can be like Tang Yu, who can calmly face the windfall in life.
"You two actually get along well with each other."
The second uncle walked out of the main room at the right time, holding a tea cup.
"Hey, I'm going to accompany grandpa."
Tang Yu felt a little guilty, like a loach, and turned around and ran into the main room. She did not dare to tell Tang Yi that she had borrowed money from her third brother to speculate in stocks, otherwise she would be reprimanded again.
"Kill a plate?"
Tang Yi and Zhang Shuo came to the pavilion very naturally.
Play chess and chat at the same time.
"Ali was punished years ago, which proves that the direction of the wind has changed. We should also pay attention to sprouting and not be too pushy." Tang Yi reminded Zhang Shuo while making a move.
"Second uncle, I understand."
As the saying goes, if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
No matter what era you are in, those who take the lead always have to bear some additional risks. Especially this time when Ahri was punished, Moya was not only the initiator, but also the ultimate beneficiary.
In the eyes of some people, the prosecution seems to have ulterior motives.
It is even regarded as another kind of business competition.
And many times, for some people, evidence and facts are not that important. Instead, perception and attitude can determine a lot of things.
This also caused a lot of resistance to sprout out of thin air.
In addition, the Sprout Group has become more and more popular every year, so jealous and greedy people are more than just ordinary people?
It can be said without exaggeration.
As impressive as Zhang Shuo is in front of others, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at him behind his back.
It can be said to be an undercurrent.
If handled improperly, it may hit an invisible reef or even capsize the ship.
Fortunately, my second uncle reminds me from time to time.
"This year, Pinxixi seeks stability in the Chinese market and will no longer carry out radical expansion. Instead, it will focus more resources on overseas markets, especially the Southeast Asian market," Zhang Shuo added.
This is called knowing how to advance and retreat.
"It seems you really understand."
Hearing what Zhang Shuo said, Tang Yi felt really relieved, and then changed the topic, "Well, if Xinghai Mining can be big, it should be big as soon as possible. Of course, I am specifically referring to the overseas market."
Minerals are strategic assets in a sense.
China is also a major importer of minerals. It has an extremely strong need to develop overseas markets. This happened at the right time, but there were many constraints due to various reasons.
If it were operated by Xinghai Mining, the resistance encountered might actually be smaller.
This is also what China likes to see.
"I know what you said, Uncle Er. This year, when Xinghai Mining has a preliminary understanding of the overseas market, it is expected to invest no less than 100 billion in overseas mineral acquisitions."
Zhang Shuo is not a Canadian either.
But today's sprout is indeed from a well-off family.
"One hundred billion?"
This stunned Tang Yi, "Don't spend money just for the sake of spending money."
"Don't worry, Uncle Er, it's only 100 billion, which is about the profit of a single quarter of the Germination Group. It's not very radical." Zhang Shuo explained with a smile.
"..."
Even with Tang Yi's self-cultivation, he was choked by Zhang Shuo's Versailles.
………
After returning from Tang Lao's place, Zhang Shuo unexpectedly received a call from his mother.
"Son, let me tell you, I have already gone through the internal withdrawal process. I will pack it up again and go to Binhai City in a few days to take care of Xiaoxi."
"Mom, that's not the case, is it?"
Zhang Shuo really didn't expect that his mother could still play such a trick, "Xiao Xi, I've hired two nannies, so don't worry. You should stay in Jiangcheng and take care of Lao Zhang."
"Your dad is also applying for internal withdrawal, but the procedures haven't been completed yet."
"..."
Zhang Shuo was completely speechless. He really underestimated the contribution of the old couple to the next generation.
What else can I say?
"Retire early, let's enjoy life early." Zhang Shuo could only comfort himself in this way.
………
Monday, March 23rd.
My mother, Cai Shuyu, acted decisively and resolutely. She just called last week and within five days, she showed up in Binhai City with all her bags and moved into a Binhai Villa.
After arriving, I prepared various nutritious meals for Gu Xiaoxi in different ways every day.
It made Zhang Shuo a little jealous.
"Mom, I am your son too, and I have never seen you care about me so much before."
"hehe."
Cai Shuyu immediately gave Zhang Shuo a roll of his eyes, "You stupid boy, do you need help from someone?"
"..."
Zhang Shuo was speechless and doubted whether he was his biological child?
After all the trouble, I picked up a steamed bun and ran to work. The villa I was still living in and the Sprout Building were both located in the Sprout Industrial Park, and it was only a few minutes' walk away.
Along the way, employees from the sprouting business greeted him, and Zhang Shuo also smiled and nodded.
In addition to being very serious at work, Zhang Shuo is actually very easy-going outside of work. He doesn't put on any airs of being a chairman, and he basically doesn't get any special treatment.
Of course, the distance that should be maintained between you and the employees below will still be maintained.
Actually.
It has been more than four years since the establishment of Sprout Group. It has already established a very complete modern enterprise system. It is almost impossible for ordinary employees to come into contact with Zhang Shuo at work.
Naturally, one cannot see the serious side of Zhang Shuo.
When Zhang Shuo walked out of the elevator and appeared in the office on the top floor, secretary Tang Lili almost held her watch and brought him a cup of hot tea that had just been brewed. The water temperature was just right.
The documents that required Zhang Shuo's signature and approval were already neatly coded on his desk.
As Zhang Shuo's administrative secretary, Tang Lili is definitely a top presence in the industry. Whether it is appearance or professionalism, she is impeccable and almost perfect.
To put it bluntly, Tang Lili was more interested in serving her boyfriend than Zhang Shuo.
However, Zhang Shuo was accustomed to this.
It can be seen from this that human beings are indeed creatures accustomed to enjoyment. Once they adapt, it is difficult to quit.
Putting aside his thoughts, Zhang Shuo started the day's work. First, he transformed into a signing machine and signed all the documents that needed to be signed by him personally, so as not to delay the group's work schedule for the day.
Then I went to the computer and browsed the day's news.
In the past week, a lot of interesting news happened on the Chinese Internet.
For example.
Last Wednesday, Tenda Music was officially listed in the United States, marking the beginning of Tenda's split into large entertainment businesses and promoting the listing of music, literature, and film and television sectors one by one.
It also finally injected a bit of new vitality into Tengda's stock price, which had been flat for a long time.
It’s really rare!
It is not difficult to understand that the second master personally rushed to the beautiful country and attended the bell ringing ceremony of Tengda Music.
In addition, also last week, 68.com and Ganshi.com announced their merger, with 68.com acquiring 43.2% of the latter’s shares in a combination of cash and stocks.
This also opened a new prelude to the great merger of China's Internet circles.
Turning our attention back to the inside of Sprout, last Friday, another masterpiece of the PC game "Overwatch" under the banner of Bluebird Interactive Entertainment started a closed beta without deleting files.
This also debunks the rumor to a certain extent that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment will cease to exist after Cao Yanhua leaves.
In addition to the monthly prescribed actions of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, last Thursday, the Pinxixi app launched an internal test of live streaming of goods, which is undoubtedly more sensational.
In a sense, it is the first to launch live streaming of goods in the world.
It's just that neither Ahri nor Jingdong seem to be very optimistic about Pin Xixi's new moves, and have no intention of following up immediately.
We can only wait and see.
………
Amidst all the chaos, March has come to an end very quickly.
Just when Qinghe Group, Maili Group, Weizhong Group and other subsidiaries were handing over their first quarter profits to the headquarters of Germination Group, a system prompt sounded in Zhang Shuo's ear.
"Ding, the entrepreneurial level has been raised to level 12, and a reward of US$6 billion in entrepreneurial funds and a customized black technology will be awarded."
"Finally upgraded."
Compared with the last time I reached level 11, this upgrade can be said to be a matter of course.
There aren't any surprises.
Of course it's not completely accurate. The biggest surprise is of course the system rewards.
After the entrepreneurial level reaches level 12, the system not only directly rewards US$6 billion in entrepreneurial capital, but also increases the monthly support fund to US$1 billion.
As usual, all these funds will be injected into the overseas Dream Fund account.
But the system has additional prompts.
"In view of the host's entrepreneurial level being improved again, you can open an additional overseas fund account. Please choose the host whether to still inject funds into the Dream Fund or to open a new account."
"Open a new account!"
Zhang Shuo is not stupid, he naturally knows the principle of the cunning rabbit's three burrows, and there is no reason to put all the eggs in one basket.
"Please host choose a new fund establishment location."
"Beautiful country, Wolf Street!"
Rather than setting up the Dream Fund in Prussia, this time Zhang Shuo will go straight into the hinterland of Wolf Street.
"Location confirmed, please host name the new fund."
"Vision Fund."
Zhang Shuo chose a fancy name without even thinking about it. Isn't it just a lie?
"Name confirmation, please host the Vision Fund and Dream Fund to allocate funds specifically."
"The six billion U.S. dollar reward will be fully injected into the Vision Fund. From now on, the monthly support fund of one billion U.S. dollars will inject 500 million U.S. dollars into the Dream Fund and the Vision Fund each."
Zhang Shuo didn't hesitate much and chose to wear both rain and dew.
Anyway, with the support of the system, when it came time to centralize funds, Zhang Shuo only needed to issue instructions on the operation panel to complete the flow of funds between the two major funds.
And it's still the kind that can't be found.
As for the US$6 billion, even if it is the start-up capital for the Vision Fund, for ordinary people, this may be an astronomical sum.
But if it were placed on Wolf Street, it would actually be just an appetizer.
"The fund dispatching and allocation plan has been confirmed. Will the Vision Fund be associated with the Germination Group?"
"Can it be irrelevant?"
Zhang Shuo always likes to hide his secrets when doing things. Since the Dream Fund has already provided cover for the Sprout Group, there is no need to expose the relationship between the Vision Fund and Sprout Group again.
After all, we are in a beautiful country.
The purer the Vision Fund's pedigree and the less it has anything to do with Sprout, the more room it will have for maneuver in the future. It can help Sprout complete some strategic deployments through cooperation.
For example.
With this acquisition of Dongzhi's flash memory chip business, we can consider bringing in the Vision Fund as well.
It can be said that God is unaware of it.
System: "You can disassociate, do you want to confirm?"
"confirm!"
"The basic setup of the Vision Fund has been completed, and related registration, establishment, personnel recruitment and other matters will be started simultaneously. After completion, the host can remotely control the Vision Fund through the operation panel."
Done!
In this way, in addition to the Dream Fund, Zhang Shuo has another super trump card.
