Chapter 515 The new year is approaching, Cai Miaomiao starts a business again!
"Chairman, there is one more thing."
After discussing topics related to smart TVs, Gu Mingzhang continued to report.
"According to Tang Xiang's reaction, the official is planning to take the lead in establishing an automobile standards research center and invite Mango Group to participate in the formulation of new energy vehicle standards."
"This is a good thing."
In Zhang Shuo's impression, the matter of original time and space would not be settled until 22 years.
Unexpectedly, relevant plans have been put forward so early.
"Not only in the automotive field, but also in various fields such as smartphones, semiconductors, smart robots, and the Internet, we must actively promote the formulation of relevant standards, and the companies under Sprout must also actively participate."
Zhang Shuo added.
Sprout wants to fully participate in global competition and go head-to-head with those global giants. In addition to having to pass the quality of its own products, the follow-up will inevitably involve disputes over relevant standards.
Planning ahead is never a bad thing.
………
The next few days were basically uneventful.
The only excitement may be that Sprout Holdings and Haier signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement. The agreement includes not only the cooperation between Qiyi Video and Haier TV, but also the cooperation between Xirang Technology and Haier.
To put it simply -
In the future, Sprout will provide software support for Haier's smart home appliance strategy.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of signing the cooperation framework, Lu Kai, president of Germination Holdings, also sent a signal to the outside world that Maili Group, a subsidiary of Germination Group, has no intention of entering the smart TV track.
This undoubtedly made TV manufacturers such as Xiaomi and Hisense breathe a sigh of relief.
Haixin immediately accelerated negotiations with Qiyi Video, obviously not wanting to lag behind Haier.
It can be said--
Bu Ya's statement made Qiyi Video become the priority partner of many TV manufacturers.
It can be described as reciprocating love!
………
On Friday afternoon, Zhang Shuo was trying out "Black Myth" in his office. His secretary Tang Lili knocked on the door and came in, saying softly: "Boss, your cousin is here and she said she has something to talk to you about."
"Miaomiao? Why did she come to the company? Let her come in." Zhang Shuo was slightly surprised.
"OK!"
Tang Lili turned and left.
After leaning a little, Cai Miaomiao rushed in and sat down on the sofa without forgetting to complain: "Brother, I have to queue up to make an appointment even if I want to find you."
"It's winter vacation. If you don't go home, why are you here at the company?"
Zhang Shuo didn't tolerate this girl and went straight to the point.
"hey-hey."
Cai Miaomiao immediately changed her face and said flatteringly: "Brother, take a look at this business plan."
"oh?"
Zhang Shuo was slightly surprised and took the document, "Are you planning to start a business again?"
"That's right, but whether it can be done or not can only be decided after you have seen the business plan." Although Cai Miaomiao has already had an entrepreneurial experience, it is obvious that Cai Miaomiao is not very confident yet.
When Miao Miao Bicycle was first established, it was a bit of a win-win situation.
"Aren't you going to work at the Prodigal Son Fund?" Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly.
Since April last year, when he transferred 5% of the controlling stake in Sprout to the Prodigal Fund, the Prodigal Fund has officially moved from behind the scenes to the front and begun its expansion.
According to Zhang Shuo's plan, he hopes that after Cai Miaomiao graduates from college this year, he will intern at the Prodigal Son Fund.
"hey-hey."
Cai Miaomiao smiled sheepishly, acquiescing.
Three years later, she has been attending school conscientiously and has become much calmer, but deep down, she still has a lingering enthusiasm for entrepreneurship.
“If you want to start a business again, you can.”
Zhang Shuo did not force Cai Miaomiao to do an internship at the Prodigal Son Fund. He originally planned this because he felt that among the younger generations of the Zhang and Cai families, Miaomiao had the most business acumen.
I just want to train him well so that I can take over Lao Zhang’s class in the future.
But since Cai Miaomiao doesn't have this intention, she can't force it. With the current scale and reputation of the Prodigal Fund, she can definitely hire excellent professional managers to take care of it.
You don’t necessarily need “one of your own”.
With that said, Zhang Shuo then looked through the business plan handed over by Cai Miaomiao.
“Maker Town?”
"Yes." Cai Miaomiao explained: "Today's young generation has emerged with many freelancers, such as online anchors, online writers, UP owners, short video bloggers, self-media people, etc."
"Most of these freelancers work from home."
"If you live in a big city, the cost of living may be too high; but if you are not in a big city, young people may feel that they are out of the mainstream."
“The Maker Town is designed to solve this pain point.”
"To put it simply, it is to build a new livable town specifically for freelancers on the outskirts of a big city, which can meet the needs of daily life without being completely far away from the big city."
"That's not a bad idea."
Hearing this, Zhang Shuo finally became a little interested.
As someone who has been there, he knows very well that what Cai Miaomiao described, the increase in the younger generation of freelancers and the rising cost of living in big cities, especially rising housing prices, are major trends in the future.
It is true that the new life pain points of the 1990s and 2000s generations have led many people to choose to lie down.
But even if they choose to lie down, many young people do not want to go back to their hometown and become small-town youths, but would rather be intoxicated by the feasting and feasting of big cities.
Just like Egang, housing prices are so low that you can buy a house for tens of thousands of yuan, and it has always been a hot topic in the news. However, not many young people actually choose to settle there.
It can be seen that young people still cannot leave big cities.
The "Maker Town" idea proposed by Cai Miaomiao undoubtedly takes both of these points into consideration.
"It's just that it's not easy to implement the creativity of the Maker Town, right?"
Zhang Shuo is not easy to fool.
First of all, if you want to develop a town project as a whole, you need at least several billion in funds.
This alone can stump a lot of people.
In addition to funds, mature real estate development experience is also required, including the need to deal with officials, ensure that the project plan can be implemented, and obtain local approval.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The difficulties in the middle are countless.
"Brother, why don't I ask you to come here?" Cai Miaomiao finally showed his fox tail, "I definitely can't handle such a big project by myself. Can the Prodigal Son Fund get involved?"
The participation of the Prodigal Son Fund is basically equivalent to the participation of Zhang Shuo.
"you alone?"
Zhang Shuo glanced at Cai Miaomiao, "I'm afraid it's more than that. Is Xu Jia involved?"
"No!"
Cai Miaomiao shook her head and took the initiative to confess: "However, Sister Yuhan and Sister Lulu are very supportive."
Good guy!
The Sisters Yuhan and Sister Lulu mentioned by Cai Miaomiao are naturally Zhu Yuhan and Chen Lu, two rich women.
Needless to say, Chen Lu, who is in charge of Fenglei Fund, has already become well-known. He is a newly rising capital giant in the venture capital circle and can be found in the gossip columns of Hong Kong tabloids almost every day.
Zhu Yuhan moved to the e-commerce track at Zhang Shuo's suggestion, and has been doing well in recent years.
A truly rich woman, no doubt.
Cai Miaomiao is a very clever girl. She has checked all of Zhang Shuo's circle of friends.
"I can understand Chen Lu's involvement, but why does Zhu Yuhan also come to join in the fun?"
Although Zhu Yuhan has a net worth of hundreds of millions, no matter how you look at it, if he wants to run a super big project like "Maker Town", he is a bit out of tune.
If it was just because of Cai Miaomiao's request, it probably wouldn't be in line with Zhu Yuhan's style.
"Because under Sister Yuhan's name, there is an MCN agency that engages in Internet celebrity management. It has signed contracts with more than 300 online anchors and hundreds of UP anchors. Recently, I heard that she is also planning to test the waters of short video bloggers."
It was with Zhu Yuhan's support that Cai Miaomiao had the confidence to launch the Maker Town project.
"So that's it."
Zhang Shuo then suddenly realized, "Last question, where do you plan to build the Maker Town?"
This is a bit of a test.
"Wancheng!"
Cai Miaomiao is not afraid, "Guancheng is located in the core circle of the Pearl River Delta. Unlike Yangcheng and Binhai City, where land is tight, it is one of the most suitable cities for building a maker town."
"Can."
Zhang Shuo was finally convinced, "Go and talk to Lao Zhang and say I agree."
"Thank you bro!"
Cai Miaomiao was so happy that she couldn't help clenching her fists, but she was full of fighting spirit.
It’s great to be young!
"By the way, what's the name of the new company?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"Tianke Real Estate."
"A guest from heaven...a guest from heaven, do you live on earth?"
"Yes."
"It's quite ambitious. Do you want me to recommend a project leader to you?" Since he decided to invest in the maker town, Zhang Shuo couldn't let it go completely.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Cai Miaomiao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Then contact this person yourself. Just say that I introduced him. Whether you can invite him or not depends on your ability." Zhang Shuo handed Zhu Zhenghong's business card to Cai Miaomiao.
Zhu Zhenghong is the former general manager of Sprout Real Estate Co., Ltd.
After sprouting real estate was written off, Zhu Zhenghong also completed his mission in sprouting, resigned from sprouting, and entered a semi-pension retirement state.
"Thank you bro!"
Cai Miaomiao took the business card solemnly, her eyes full of expectation.
………
As January comes to an end, Germination has officially entered the "Spring Festival rhythm".
It is also the time of year when Zhang Shuo socializes most frequently. Basically, he follows a similar activity track every year, attending various award ceremonies, evening parties, and visiting various people.
Accompanied by President Lu Kai, we visited various subsidiaries to wish them a happy new year in advance.
On January 29, Sprout Holdings held its annual meeting. Thanks to Pin Xixi’s brilliant performance on Double Eleven, Du Qingqing won this year’s President’s Special Award, which is a great success.
After the annual meeting, one after another employees asked for leave to go home for the New Year.
Zhang Shuo's family is preparing to celebrate the New Year in Binhai City this year. In the future, the opportunities to visit his hometown in Jiangcheng will probably become less and less, especially during the Spring Festival.
The main reason is that I am impatient to socialize with Jiangcheng.
To be honest, in recent years, with the rise of Germination, Jiangcheng, Zhang Shuo's hometown, has benefited a lot from it, including the construction of the Maili Electronics Industrial Park and the move of the Pinxixi Group headquarters.
The vocational and technical colleges founded by Germination are also located in Jiangcheng.
It’s already interesting enough!
Cai Miaomiao also acted very quickly and completed the registration of Tianke Real Estate before the Spring Festival holiday, with a total registered capital of 4 billion.
According to the final investment agreement between the parties, the Prodigal Fund invested 2.5 billion and held 62.5% of the shares.
Fenglei Fund invested RMB 1 billion and holds 25% of the shares.
Cai Miaomiao personally invested 50 million yuan, and at the same time used the 350 million personal entrepreneurial support fund amount given to her by the Prodigal Fund, making a total investment of 400 million yuan and holding 10% of the shares.
Zhu Yuhan personally invested 100 million and held 2.5% of the shares.
At the same time, according to the agreement signed between Cai Miaomiao and the Prodigal Fund, the Prodigal Fund will have priority to acquire the equity of Tianju Real Estate obtained by the Prodigal Fund Entrepreneurship Support Fund.
This is to ensure that the Prodigal Fund has absolute control over Tianju Real Estate.
Therefore, it seems that Cai Miaomiao is the front-end leader of Tianju Real Estate and will also be appointed as the CEO of Tianju Real Estate. But in fact, the Prodigal Fund is the driving force behind the "Maker Town" project.
The subsequent Prodigal Fund will also use various resources to help Tianju Real Estate get on the right track.
According to the agreement, Lao Zhang, as the helmsman of the Prodigal Fund, will also personally serve as the chairman of Tianju Real Estate, rarely participating in specific business operations.
I guess they are also worried that Cai Miaomiao will mess up. After all, there is a huge amount of 4 billion funds, and there is no room for any mistakes.
Furthermore, as an elder, Lao Zhang is also very optimistic about Cai Miaomiao. After all, he has successfully founded Miaomiao Bicycle, and he also wants to protect Cai Miaomiao's growth in this way.
While chatting at home, Lao Zhang also revealed to Zhang Shuo that in the future, he still hopes that Cai Miaomiao can take over the Prodigal Son Fund.
It’s considered well-intentioned!
………
February 7th, New Year’s Eve.
This year's China Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala was sponsored by Ahli, which spent a lot of money to promote the rich red envelopes.
In the previous Double Eleven war, not only was Mobao faced a strong challenge from Pinxixi, but also Zhifubao was slightly at a disadvantage in the competition with Weixin Pay.
In Ahri's view, the rise of Weixin Pay is closely related to the success of last year's Spring Festival red envelope event. Therefore, no matter what happens this year, Ahri will not let Weixin win the title of Spring Festival Gala again.
Not only Ali, in fact, Tenda also has ideas for naming this year’s Spring Festival Gala, and even wants to replicate last year’s successful case of Weixin Pay and promote its Caifutong.
However, due to lack of financial resources, he was defeated in the competition with Ah Li.
It’s really sad!
But in fact, Weixin Pay has the foundation for last year’s Spring Festival promotion. This year, even if it does not appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage, it can still increase its presence by sponsoring the local satellite TV Spring Festival Gala.
As long as the cash red envelopes sent out are substantial enough, you won’t have to worry about no one participating.
After all, only the first one to eat the crab is the one who can maximize the benefits.
In the future, whether it is Ahri or Tengda, it will be almost impossible to replicate the success of Weixin Payment last year. This has been verified by the original time and space.
Therefore, regarding this year's Spring Festival Gala naming process, Qinghe Group actually prepared sufficient ammunition during the bidding process with Ahri, but under Zhang Shuo's instructions, it did not fight to the end with Ahri.
It’s not worth it to get satellite TV for nothing!
………
After New Year's Eve, it's the Spring Festival.
On the second day of the first lunar month, Lao Zhang and his mother took a plane back to Jiangcheng to visit relatives and friends. They spent the Chinese New Year in Binhai City. If they didn’t go back to Jiangcheng during the first lunar month, both grandpa’s side and grandpa’s side would have nothing to do.
It's hard to explain.
As for Zhang Shuo, it was his first time to come with his wife Gu Xiaoxi to pay New Year greetings to Mr. Tang.
"The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, a match made in heaven, good, good, good!"
Seeing Gu Xiaoxi and Zhang Yiyi being held in Gu Xiaoxi's arms, Mr. Tang seemed to be much younger. He also prepared a big red envelope for Zhang Yiyi, obviously treating Zhang Shuo as a real junior.
I also enjoy this family happiness very much!
PS: I have the shamelessness to ask for monthly tickets at the last moment. There are still a dozen or so tickets left, so I can make up a thousand tickets. Please, please!!
