Chapter 533: Resigning as CEO, Zhang Shuo retires early?!
The integration of the system and Xingling is undoubtedly giving Zhang Shuo relief.
Before, he was required to sit at the headquarters of Sprout Ya from time to time, watching every move of Sprout Ya, and be careful not to be deceived by the people below, Hu Nong, but now he can basically sit back and relax.
Xingling is keeping an eye on him around the clock.
After accessing the sprout intranet, Yixing Zero's capabilities can even monitor the real-time work dynamics of every employee under sprout, as well as every fund flow in the sprout account.
As long as digital office is realized, smart devices will be everywhere.
And Zhang Shuo.
It is the biggest boss hidden behind the curtain of Germination.
In view of this, after signing and approving the funding application for the new quarter, Zhang Shuo personally hosted a regular meeting of the group and announced in public——
He will step down as CEO of Sprout Holdings and will be replaced by Lu Kai, president of the group.
"Chairman, is this too sudden?"
Happiness came too suddenly, and Lu Kai, who was as calm as Lu Kai, was a little confused at the moment. Zhang Shuo had been vaccinated before, saying that he expected to step down as CEO in about 20 years.
This was three years ahead of schedule, and Lu Kai was not prepared at all.
"Nothing is sudden or not."
Zhang Shuo was very calm, "In the past three years, you have done a very good job as president, and your achievements are obvious to all. Now that you have taken over the position of CEO of the group, you are well-deserved."
Unconsciously, it has been three years since Germination abolished the rotating president system.
If the term of rotating president is included, then Lu Kai's tenure as president of Germination spans five years. Even if he is qualified, he is completely qualified.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Shuo decided to resign early, and it was not just a temporary decision.
That's too irresponsible.
"Well, Chairman, in the future, you will have to personally take care of any major issues in the group." Lu Kai still felt a little guilty, as he had long been accustomed to working under Zhang Shuo.
"Don't!"
Zhang Shuo was not fooled, "After stepping down as CEO, you will be solely responsible for the follow-up affairs of Germination. From now on, except for participating in regular Monday meetings and the board of directors, I will rarely appear in the company."
It's basically half-retired.
With the title of CEO, Lu Kai can be regarded as the second person in the true sense of Meiya Holdings. He can legitimately represent Meiya on any occasion and attend any events or important meetings.
Speak up for Germination.
Lu Kai had only held the title of president of Buya Holdings before, so his gold content was still a bit low.
It's completely different now.
According to the company's articles of association, Zhang Shuo, who has stepped down from the position of CEO and only serves as chairman of the board of directors of Meiya Holdings, is only responsible to the board of directors and does not need to participate in the daily operating activities of Meiya.
Just leave full authority to Lu Kai!
The most important thing is that after stepping down as CEO, Zhang Shuo will no longer accept reports from group executives including Jiang Yue, Gu Mingzhang, Luo Changan, and group subsidiary presidents such as Du Qingqing and Tang Xiang.
These executives will all report to Lu Kai.
In the future, to finalize any major decisions regarding Sprout Holdings, Zhang Shuo only needs to summon Lu Kai at the board meeting or alone.
In a sense, Lu Kai is Zhang Shuo's budding spokesperson.
"this…"
Seeing that the big boss was determined to retreat behind the scenes, Lu Kairen was immediately numb.
But he had no choice but to accept the reality.
Postponing it any longer would seem pretentious.
After all, after all, Lu Kai is also the biggest beneficiary of this personnel adjustment, and his full title will soon be changed to "Executive Director, Chief Executive Officer and President of Sprout Holdings".
The rank was also upgraded from the previous M13 level to M14 level in one fell swoop.
Don't think it's just a level up. For Lu Kai, who was already standing at the top of the pyramid, this step is tantamount to a step to the sky, truly under one person!
And Lu Kai will also become the most prestigious professional manager in the world.
none of them!
………
In the afternoon of that day, the President Office of Sprout Holdings issued an internal open letter announcing relevant personnel adjustments.
The news quickly spread online.
"Big news, the cute king is really planning to retire early."
"If I remember correctly, the cute king just celebrated his thirtieth birthday not long ago, right? He is ready to retire now. Wow, the workers are so envious that they almost cry..."
"Thirty years old, semi-employed, earning a small target every day, who are you talking about?"
"Tsk tsk, you are indeed a role model for our generation!"
"The cute king has retreated from the rapids. The younger generation of entrepreneurs are just playing around!"
"Yes, Sprout has developed into a very mature large company so far. King Meng chose to step down as CEO at this time, which may seem sudden, but is actually very reasonable."
"There are precedents for the founders of ancient songs and other foreign countries."
"Although Meng Wang has resigned as CEO, he is still the chairman of the board of directors of Moya Holdings and the largest shareholder and spokesperson of Moya Holdings. He has just moved from the front to behind the scenes."
"Being the big boss behind the scenes, right? (Gotou)"
Not only netizens are watching the fun, but people in the industry can't help but talk about it when they get the news.
"It's really unexpected."
After watching the news, the second master's mood was so complicated that it could no longer be described in words. If it were him, if he were still so young, no matter what, he would have to continue working for twenty or thirty years before he would consider letting go.
"It seems that I really can't keep up with this era." The second master smiled bitterly.
The second master was not the only one who was surprised. Business bosses such as the uncle, Rebus, Brother Dong, etc. also expressed their incomprehension about Zhang Shuo's sudden retreat.
"Boss, is there a possibility that Zhang Shuo chose to step down as CEO at this time because the development of Bu Ya has entered a bottleneck period?" Ren Xiaoyao had a different guess.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
The uncle also feels the same way. "Although Germination has been making rapid progress in the past year, it has been expanding and improving its original business areas. It really has not come up with anything new that is eye-catching."
It can be said that the uncle should be sour or sour.

What a difference!
………
Zhang Shuo didn't care about the comments from the outside world. In the next period of time, he began to arrange his "semi-retirement" life step by step.
And it just so happened that the Spring Festival was approaching, so he almost completely disappeared from public view.
January 29, the second day of the first lunar month.
"Are you really going to retire?"
Taking advantage of Zhang Shuo's visit to pay New Year's greetings, his second uncle Tang Yi finally couldn't hold back and asked about his doubts. He was really worried that without Zhang Shuo, something would go wrong in the sprout.
Both Android and Apple are available.】
“It’s not considered retirement, it’s just that I no longer get involved in daily management.”
Zhang Shuo did not disclose the existence of Xing Ling.
After the system was integrated with Star Zero, although the intelligence level of Star Zero has been improved by several orders of magnitude, it still runs at a low level, basically matching the intelligence level of Star Zero "applications".
Of course, the follow-up will accelerate "evolution" at a reasonable speed.
Now.
Obviously it is not appropriate to reveal Xing Ling's secret to the outside world. This is also Zhang Shuo's biggest trump card.
"I just want to take more time to recharge myself and think about budding strategic issues." Zhang Shuo gave a panacea-like explanation.
"I'll just assume you're serious."
The second uncle obviously didn't believe Zhang Shuo's lies, and asked with a smile: "Do you have any new plans next? You can't say that you will stay at home and take care of the baby so early, right?"
He still hoped that Zhang Shuo would do something, after all, it was Miracle Hand.
"The temporary plan is to continue my studies at Eastern University of Science and Technology and strive to obtain a doctorate. After that, maybe I will work as a teaching assistant or librarian at Eastern University of Science and Technology?"
Now that he was free from the entanglement of sprouting matters, he felt at ease. To be honest, Zhang Shuo was quite confused.
He is still young.
We can’t just start eating and waiting to die now. Why, let’s start the second half, right?
"Teaching and educating people? It's pretty good."
Tang Yi nodded slightly, still not believing that Zhang Shuozhen would be so invisible.
………
In a blink of an eye, the time has come to March.
On March 13, Citer announced that it would acquire the technology company Mobileye for US$15.3 billion.
This high-priced acquisition can help Citroën enter the first camp of auto parts suppliers in one fell swoop, and will also intensify competition in the field of autonomous driving technology among the world's automakers and suppliers.
Autonomous driving seems to be increasingly becoming a trendy topic.
At the same time, Qinghe Group has renewed its three-year service contract with Qingcheng Group. Qingcheng Group’s food delivery, travel, shared bicycle and other businesses will still obtain secondary traffic entrances on Weixin.
As for the transaction price, both parties chose to keep it confidential.
The biggest news in March was that Huaxia announced the establishment of Xiongan New District. Sprout Holdings responded immediately and announced that it would acquire land in Xiongan New Area and plan to build the Sprout Asia headquarters.
Take practical actions to support the construction of Xiong'an New Area.
But even with such a big move, Zhang Shuo didn't even show up at the signing ceremony.
Continue to hide.
After that, news came out that Zhang Shuo was in retreat to study for a doctorate.
Time has quietly come to May.
On May 5, SK Group announced that it would acquire the remaining 49% of Siltron's shares. As early as January this year, SK had acquired 51% of the company's shares for US$480 million.
It is reported that Siltron is a company that manufactures semiconductor silicon wafers, the basic material for semiconductor chips.
Since then, sk has completed the vertical layout of semiconductor production.
Unfortunately, SK's actions seem to be a little slow. With the rapid rise of Daosui Group and Huaxia Microelectronics, the pattern of the global semiconductor industry has long been reshaped.
Even in the field of semiconductor basic materials, China is making rapid breakthroughs.
It will be difficult for Korea to have another chance to surpass itself.
On May 25, Mei Ya spent her seventh birthday in a low-key manner.
Just one month later, Mango Group held its third global press conference. In addition to updating the Mango M series and S series, it also launched the sports car series Mango P1, officially entering the sports car market.
It once again caused a global sensation and received rave reviews!
In particular, the assisted driving system installed in the Mango car has been greatly improved in intelligence after being connected to the artificial intelligence star zero, and is known as a new generation of black technology.
At this point, Mango Motors has been completely established as the global leader in new energy vehicles.
………
With Mango Auto's dominance, July has quietly arrived.
But it was also extremely lively.
On July 7, Ali’s first unmanned supermarket officially opened in Lin’an, marking another new attempt by Ali in the offline supermarket field after Hippo.
But only Zhang Shuo knew that compared to Hippo, Ahri’s unmanned supermarket was not a success.
It can even be called a failure!
On the same day, the undersea tunnel of the Gigafactory Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was completed, which is of great significance.
a.
Wangda reached a deal of the century with Rongchuang. The former sold out its 13 cultural tourism projects and 76 city hotels at a time for a sky-high price of 63.1 billion.
The industry generally denigrates Wanda, believing that this is the beginning of Wanda's decline.
Little did he know, this turned out to be Wanda's magic touch.
Five years later, Wanda, which has shed its burdens, is about to emerge from its cocoon and become a butterfly. As the acquirer, Rongchuang, which is enjoying great success at this time, is on the verge of bankruptcy due to blind expansion.
It’s really sad!
Just when this acquisition, known as the "Deal of the Century", attracted the attention of the Internet, the official released the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan", clarifying the strategic goals for the development of the new generation of artificial intelligence.
It also completely paved the way for Sprout's layout in the field of artificial intelligence.
When the time came to the end of July, Tai Electromechanical, Weijing Semiconductor and Samsung Wafer announced almost at the same time that they had broken through the 10nm chip advanced process.
The global wafer foundry market has truly ushered in a new pattern of three pillars.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And obviously.
Backed by Daosui Group and backed by the big tree of Germination, Weijing Semiconductor will gain first-mover advantage.
The future prospects are particularly promising!
Samsung's last advantage over Germination is now gone!
………
At the same time, Tang Lao’s courtyard.
Zhang Shuo, who had not been seen for more than half a year, was sitting under the pavilion, playing chess and chatting with his second uncle.
Compared with Zhang Shuo's Buddhist tradition, his second uncle Tang Yi is still proactive. Just a week ago, he was officially promoted to the governor of Lingnan, taking a solid step forward.
Finally, he became a senior member of the governor's side.
The promotion of his second uncle undoubtedly gave Zhang Shuo a shot in the arm.
Have more peace of mind!
"You kid, you are really calm. It's been more than half a year, and you've been hanging out in the library like this?" Tang Yi couldn't see Zhang Shuo being so Buddhist.
"When it comes to recharging, of course you have to go all out, not just for show."
Zhang Shuo explained with a smile.
"Besides, it's not that easy to get a PhD from Eastern University of Science and Technology, okay? If I don't prepare carefully, the outside world might think that I'm taking the back door."
In fact, we are going through the back door.
As half of the founder of Eastern University of Science and Technology, Zhang Shuo wants to study for a Ph.D., which is not a matter of words.
There is no need to take any exam at all.
But from Zhang Shuo's point of view, he still hopes to study his knowledge seriously.
Of course, in addition to preparing for exams, Zhang Shuo was also doing some things secretly in private. For example, with the cooperation of Xing Ling, he issued overseas acquisition instructions to Dream Fund and Vision Fund.
For another example, we are currently preparing for a large-scale leek harvesting trip.
"You, you!"
Tang Yi pointed his finger at Zhang Shuo and smiled without saying a word. He still doesn't believe that Zhang Shuo can really stay peacefully on the university campus.
But I still can’t guess what kind of medicine Zhang Shuo’s gourd is selling.
