Chapter 492 On the fifth anniversary of the germination, Zhang Shuo wants to quit?!
Seeing that Tang Yu was speechless, Zhang Shuo turned to look at Murong Yan, "You should have a way out, right?"
According to Zhang Shuo's observation, among the four Tang Yus, Murong Yan is both the most ambitious and the most scheming. There is no reason for him to lose all his wealth just like this.
"yes."
Being glanced at by Zhang Shuo, Murong Yan suddenly felt palpitations in her heart and said hesitantly: "Yes, I plan to renew my contract with Dundun Interactive Entertainment for five years and use the signing fee to make up for the damage."
As a major anchor of Dundun Interactive Entertainment, Murong Yan's five-year signing fee is worth tens of millions.
Enough to pay off the debt!
"Look, isn't the problem solved?!"
Zhang Shuo looked at Tang Yu, who had a complicated expression on his face. Fortunately, Tang Yu was worried about Murong Yan before, and even shamelessly invited his third brother out of the mountain, but it turned out that he had already thought of a way out.
It makes you look like a clown.
"As for you."
Zhang Shuo looked at Li Ling again, "We are all adults. We are responsible for our own affairs, right?"
"Can, can."
Li Ling has long given up any illusions.
"Okay, let's eat!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was very strange, Zhang Shuo acted like a normal person and put away his aura. As for how Tang Yu will get along with the two of them in the future, that is Tang Yu's own business.
Zhang Shuo has no interest in interfering.
………
Monday, May 25th.
For Mei Ya, today is undoubtedly a very memorable day.
It’s the fifth anniversary!!!
In order to celebrate the fifth anniversary, the negotiation team led by Luo Changan signed equity acquisition agreements with Xiangjiang Clearing Company and an investment company in Lingnan one week in advance.
At the same time, we also obtained the understanding of Yugoslav Nuclear Power Group.
According to the acquisition agreement, Xinghai Group will pay a premium of 38%, or a valuation of 200 billion, and spend 50 billion to acquire a total of 25% of the equity held by Xiangjiang Clearing Company and investment companies.
It can be described as a big deal.
After the acquisition is completed, Xinghai Group will become the second largest shareholder of Nanjing Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. and has the right to nominate a director to the board of directors of Nanjing Nuclear Power Co., Ltd.
Zhang Shuo set a maximum premium of 50% for this acquisition. Unexpectedly, Luo Changan's team won the deal at a premium of 38%, which saved the group more than 4 billion.
This shows his professionalism.
At the same time, Daosui Group’s Series B financing was successfully completed after some twists and turns.
Faced with the budding tough attitude, China Semiconductor Industry Support Fund did not act like a monster again, but chose to accept Zhang Shuo's conditions - to subscribe for 3% of Daosui Group's equity at a valuation of 600 billion.
Of course it is impossible to get a director seat.
In this round of financing, Daosui Group transferred a total of 8% of its equity and raised a total of 48 billion.
It laid a solid foundation for subsequent development.
After the B round of financing, the equity of Daosui Group held by Germination Holdings will be diluted from the previous 90% to 82.8% in one fell swoop, making it still the largest controlling shareholder of Daosui Group.
Of these two transactions, one is an investment of 50 billion, and the other is a financing of nearly 50 billion.
For any company, even the Big Three like Tenda, Ahri, and Qiandu, it is a very important event, and it is likely to take half a year, or even longer, to plan.
But inside the sprout, it seems to be becoming sparse and commonplace.
………
That evening, Meiya held a grand celebration party at the industrial park headquarters.
Suddenly, the big guys gathered.
Needless to say, there is no need to mention the senior executives within Sprout. As early as yesterday, Lin Zhengdong, Tang Xiang, Du Qingqing and other group subsidiaries presidents rushed to Binhai City with their people.
The busier one is catching the flight this morning.
In addition to the sprouting executives, there are also partners such as Wujiang Technology, Linde New Energy, Jingdong, etc., including a new batch of collaborators such as Blue Gold Mining and Southern Nuclear Power Group.
We also arranged for people to attend.
Then there are the business leaders of Binhai City, such as Mr. Ren, Er Ye, and the founder of BYD, who are also very considerate. After receiving the invitation from Mo Ya, they all dressed up to attend.
Even the second uncle Tang Yi did not shy away and came to help in person.
It can be said that the house was full of guests.
And in the hall, no matter how many big guys came, Zhang Shuo, who was only twenty-nine years old this year and not yet thirty years old, was the most eye-catching and dazzling center of attention.
Five years.
In just five years, Zhang Shuo started from scratch and brought the sprout from scratch to the pinnacle of China and the world, becoming one of the most profitable companies in the world.
His personal net worth is firmly on the throne of the richest man in the world.
Under the cover of such a dazzling aura, not to mention the famous entrepreneurs such as the eldest and second lords of China, even the mythical Weiruan Gates and Xiaozhao of Washbasin.com, all look eclipsed.
Zhang Shuo is a myth in the global entrepreneurial circle.
How not to be amazed?!
It just so happens that Zhang Shuo, who is so dazzling, is usually extremely low-key.
Looking back on the past five years, Zhang Shuo has basically stayed out of the public eye, except for making public remarks at Internet conferences. He basically does not accept interviews or reports, nor does he appear in newspapers and magazines.
It's even more incredible.
In addition to Zhang Shuo, another person who attracted a lot of attention at the scene was, of course, the new richest woman in China, Gu Xiaoxi, who was sitting next to Zhang Shuo and whose belly was already bulging.
She is also known as the happiest woman in China.
Not only because he is married to the richest man Zhang Shuo, but also because although Zhang Shuo has become the richest man at a young age, he does not spend any money and is even very conservative.
There has never been any scandal.
This kind of self-cleanliness and self-discipline is nothing compared to a young man like Li Cong.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the party officially started.
The highlight of the party was, of course, Zhang Shuo taking the stage to deliver a speech for the fifth anniversary of Sprout.
Many people, including my second uncle Tang Yi, are looking forward to seeing what shocking words Zhang Shuo will say on such an extremely special occasion like today.
Or in other words, set some small goals for the next five years.
This is not just gossip.
But given the current size of Sprout Holdings, it may be an exaggeration to say that it is as rich as a country.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But in a sense, any major business decision of Sprout Holdings can definitely affect the development prospects of a city or even an industry.
Every move made by Germination will also affect the interests of millions of people.
This is no exaggeration.
Just imagine, the number of formal employees under Sprout Holdings alone is as high as half a million. Counting the families behind these people, it will directly affect the livelihoods of more than two million people.
And if you include the suppliers and partners that provide support for Sprout, wouldn’t it amount to tens of millions?
Not to mention, the semiconductor bases, new energy vehicle bases, aero-engine bases, software bases, etc. spearheaded by the Germination Department will indirectly affect hundreds of thousands of companies.
If you look into it carefully, you will find that Mo Ya’s current influence in the industry is absolutely terrifying.
It can be said that one move affects the whole body.
However, to everyone's disappointment, Zhang Shuo's speech could only be described as mediocre. He did not summarize the achievements of the past five years in a high-profile manner, and he only had a few words about his future plans.
It can be seen that he is still hiding something.
The only breaking point was Zhang Shuo's sudden announcement——
"I have a wish, or a plan. I hope that five years from now, when it is the tenth anniversary of the founding of Sprout, I will be able to retire, completely withdraw from the management of Sprout, and retire early."
"Um???"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"What's going on? Zhang Shuo isn't even thirty yet, so he's thinking about retiring?"
Under the stage, next to
Mr. Ren and Mr. Er, who were sitting together, looked at each other with great understanding, and seemed to be able to understand the trace of envy and helplessness in their respective eyes.
One of them is seventy-one and the other is forty-four, and they are both still fighting on the front line.
This guy Zhang Shuo is really annoying.
It's annoying, but if you think about it, it doesn't seem too surprising.
After all, in just five years, Zhang Shuo has single-handedly built the super mothership of Sprout. Who can imagine how terrifying the scale of Sprout will be in five years?
Furthermore, not only is Sprout not a listed company, but even the voting rights are concentrated in the hands of Zhang Shuo alone, so there is no need to consider explaining this to investors.
Naturally, you can do whatever you want.
After thinking about it this way, it seems reasonable for Zhang Shuo to retire early.
But it's still shocking.
After Zhang Shuo stepped down, Lu Kai was the first to come forward and said, "Chairman, were you kidding just now?"
But he is more nervous than anyone else.
The reason is also very simple. With the development of Moya to this day, one thing has been proved countless times - "No one who can leave Moya can leave the soul figure Zhang Shuo."
"Of course it's not a joke."
Zhang Shuo patted Lu Kai's shoulder meaningfully, but the latter's heart trembled suddenly.
No more questions.
After Zhang Shuo sat down, his second uncle Tang Yi couldn't hold back and said with a smile: "Good boy, are you just thinking about being lazy? Isn't it a little early?"
"Isn't it morning?"
Zhang Shuo also smiled, "My personal abilities and vision are limited after all. In the future, there will always be a day when I let go of Germination. Letting go as soon as possible is actually good for everyone."
"Will you retreat bravely?"
Tang Yi also took a deep look at Zhang Shuo and silently patted Zhang Shuo on the shoulder.
it is more than words.
As for Gu Xiaoxi on the other side, she didn't feel anything at all. She just quietly held Zhang Shuo's hand, feeling the temperature of Zhang Shuo's palm, silently conveying her unconditional support to her husband.
The following performance at the party was uneventful, with nothing much to say.
Perhaps, until the moment the show ended, all the guests attending the party were still thinking about Zhang Shuo's threat to retire in five years.
It’s also a strange story.
………
The next day, news related to Germination's fifth anniversary spread on the Internet.
The popularity of the event was average, and it was not a big gossip after all. Compared with Si Qing, what netizens envied the most was actually the commemorative gold coins that Germination distributed to every employee.
"Fifty grams of pure gold, oh my god, I'm so envious that I'm drooling."
"Sprouting is really awesome!!!"
"You have the appearance of a nouveau riche, but why am I envious of you?"
"Is it too late to join the sprout now? (Gotou)"
In addition, the news that Zhang Shuo threatened to retire in five years received different evaluations from the majority of netizens.
"You support the cute king. You are already the richest man. Why don't you hurry up and enjoy life?"
"The King of Cute plans to retire at the age of thirty-four, and I will retire at the age of thirty. Doesn't this mean that I and the King of Cute are on the same finishing line? I feel like I've made a profit."
"The smart guy upstairs!!!"
"King Meng is truly a role model for our generation, and his retirement plans are so earth-shattering."
yes.
If you can retire in your thirties, who the hell would want to work until you are sixty-five?
Don’t you just envy me!!!
………
Monday, June 1st.
Time flies to June. In the past week, in addition to the fifth anniversary of its emergence, a lot of things happened on the Chinese Internet, which are worth talking about.
Take, for example, the stock market crash.
Since last week's decline, it has been in trouble.
It closed, leading to a stock market crash.
Compared to the original time and space, it was detonated one month earlier.
Just because the explosion was so sudden, although the leeks were wailing everywhere, those institutions that were caught off guard were not spared from this stock market crash.
Many institutions have been brutally harvested by leeks and have never recovered.
In particular, some investment institutions with overseas backgrounds originally wanted to play a big game and make a fortune, but they were disrupted by mysterious people and ultimately returned without success.
Zhang Shuo was finally happy.
The bad side is that as a Fenglei Fund that exited early, it may arouse the fear of its peers.
This is also something that can't be helped.
In addition to the failure of institutions to return without success, another impact of this stock market crash is that many previously so-called star listed companies have suddenly appeared in their prototypes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Monster stocks like Storm Technology have continued to fall after their prototypes were revealed.
Not to mention this.
The worst thing should be the despair. Sadly, he became Zhang Shuo's tool to expose the dark mines in the stock market, passively exposing his own financial crisis to the public and investors in advance.
Not only did it cause Beishi's stock price to plummet, it also triggered Beishi's capital chain crisis in advance.
It is reported that until now, the founder of Sadness, Zhen Yaoting, is still moving around, raising funds and borrowing money, trying to bring in new partners to tide over the current crisis.
This includes sprouts.
It's a pity that the door to budding is always closed to despair.
Of course, based on Zhang Shuo's understanding of Zhen Yaoting, this man is extremely deceptive. No, it's his lobbying ability. If nothing else, he is definitely a good player at telling stories and drawing pie.
In that situation, the original time and space could invite the white knight.
In this life, the tragic crisis has just broken out, and all businesses seem to have promising prospects. I believe that with Zhen Yaoting's ability, he will eventually be able to find a suitable successor.
I just don’t know who will be the next unlucky guy.
Except for the stock market turmoil.
For another example, on May 27, Zhifubao experienced network failures across the country, resulting in many people being unable to make online and offline payments, which brought many obstacles to people's travel and life.
It also makes consumers aware that mobile payment has penetrated into every aspect of society without even realizing it.
And the cause of the incident.
Just because the optical fiber in Lin'an was cut.
Another impact of this incident is that the majority of netizens immediately recognized the "open" concept proposed by Zhang Shuo at the Internet Conference.
Just imagine.
If Ali's various products, software, etc., users can freely choose to use various payment tools such as Zhifubao, Weixin Pay, Caifutong, etc., there will basically be no payment barriers.
Even if there is online applause for Zhifubao, consumers can choose other payment methods.
Instead of being in a hurry like now.
After this incident occurred, along with the fermentation of online public opinion, it also caused huge pressure on Ahri, and the calls for Ahri to let go of the moat became louder and louder.
It depends on how long Ahri can hold on.
Another piece of news is related to Wanda, which has been in the limelight in the past two years.
Last Friday, the CEO of Wangda E-commerce officially resigned from Wangda E-commerce. This is another CEO who has resigned since the former CEO of Wangda E-commerce, Gong Yitao, announced his resignation at the end of March last year.
This indicates that the development of Wanda e-commerce is not going smoothly.
This is also true. Although Wanda has joined the platforms of Tengda and Qiandu in order to be an e-commerce company, it only looks beautiful on the outside, but is still a mess on the inside.
It also proves once again that not everyone can succeed in e-commerce.
Of course, this also has something to do with the partners selected by Wanda. Needless to say, Qiandu has basically never succeeded in other businesses except its core search business.
Tenda in the field of e-commerce
I also fell down several times in succession, and it’s still a mess to this day.
How could three cobblers get together and succeed?
I remember that at the beginning, Lao Wang wanted to cooperate with Mo Yao, but Zhang Shuo ignored him and politely refused. Lao Wang then settled for the next best thing and found Qiandu to cooperate with Tengda.
In the end, it all came to nothing.
The failure of Wangda e-commerce seems to indicate that Wangda is not going smoothly on the road to diversified operations, and may even be stumbling.
It looks lively, but everyone is just consuming resources fearlessly.
That's all!
Of course, Wanda is not an exception. Most companies, after expanding their core business, will consider transforming to diversified operations, but few can successfully transform.
Even if it’s a national brand like Hahaha, Laogan Daddy, etc.
Looking around the world, I am afraid that only the "monster" is sprouting. With the help of Zhang Shuo, he has successfully expanded one new business after another, thus achieving diversified operations.
It’s as if there is no margin for growth, you can do anything, and you can succeed in anything.
No wonder he is envied, jealous, and hated by his peers.
Who wouldn't be jealous?
As time enters June, there are actually two major events within the Germination Group, which are worthy of attention.
One is that Nebula 001, the first experimental communication satellite developed by Nebula Technology, has finally been lined up at the launch site under China Aerospace Corporation and will be launched this month.
The specific day depends on the weather conditions.
By then, Sprout will become the first Chinese company to launch commercial satellites into the sky, which sounds very exciting.
Another major event is that Mango Group is about to hold its second global press conference this month. After two years, it will launch a new model.
