Zhang Shuo called Jiang Yue to the office again, "Do you have any ideas about the acquisition of Haode Map?"
"You really want to buy Hao De's map?" Jiang Yue was very surprised.
"certainly."
"Based on the current market value, Haode Map is valued at around US$1.2 billion. Although it has been listed, there is actually a huge risk of loss, and the stock price is also artificially high."
After the meeting yesterday, Jiang Yue did some homework.
"Not to mention that we don't have the strength to acquire Haode now. Even if we have the money, I don't recommend the acquisition."
"It doesn't have to be a 100% acquisition." Zhang Shuo explained, "Haode Map should have many shareholders, right? You can acquire part of the shares of Haode Map from one or a few shareholders, and it should be regarded as a strategic investment."
"That's pretty much it."
Jiang Yue was relieved, "If that's the case, you can find a middleman to help pull the strings."
"Then go ahead and do it." Zhang Shuo only wanted results and reminded: "You can be more patient when making contact. This does not mean that the investment must be completed this year."
In my memory.
In the next two to three years, Haode Map's business will not see any big improvement.
Even though it was fully acquired by Ali and delisted from Nasdaq after privatization, Haode Map has actually been in a state of loss.
What Ahli is interested in is mainly the traffic bonus brought by Haode Map.
"By the way, there's also Qingcheng Retail. Pei Weiping plans to acquire a retail company. You have to follow him throughout the process," Zhang Shuo reminded.
Of course, it is impossible for Pei Weiping to make such a big decision alone.
The holding company will definitely check it.
"All right."
Jiang Yue was helpless. She found that she was getting busier and busier.
Zhang Shuo left everything to her.
Especially after taking on the role of General Manager of Germinal Real Estate, even though Zhu Zhenghong was in charge of the company's daily affairs, as the General Manager, she had no time to spare.
Especially when it involves such a large project, I dare not take it lightly.
"I know you're busy."
Zhang Shuo is not a boss who only knows how to exploit. He saw Jiang Yue's thoughts and said with a smile: "Go to a headhunting company and pay a lot of money to find a financial talent who knows investment and M&A. We will set up an investment and M&A department of Sprout Holdings to assist you in handling the holding company."
and the investment and mergers and acquisitions business of its subsidiaries.”
"Isn't this too redundant?"
Instead, Jiang Yue started to worry about Zhang Shuo, "The company's current investment and M&A business is only three to five orders a year at most. Isn't it a bit wasteful to set up a separate department?"
"I didn't ask you to set up a large department, find a department manager, and find two investment assistants, and you can basically live together. The company can still afford to support these people." Zhang Shuo explained with a smile.
"That's pretty much it. I'm just a little more relaxed."
Jiang Yue also smiled.
"One more thing," Zhang Shuo wanted to explain, but he was not done yet. "You also heard at yesterday's meeting that Qinghe Technology will expand its headquarters next year and prepare to build a game AI laboratory and an engine research institute. Qingniao Interactive Entertainment is going to build
Payment center, search laboratory and intelligent algorithm research studio. The Qingcheng retail headquarters will definitely continue to expand, especially after the acquisition is completed. With so many new office space needs, how will it be solved by then?"
"How else can we solve the problem? I will continue to communicate with the property management company in Feige Building and rent as many floors as possible. If there is really no free office area, we can only find a solution from the surrounding Daxia."
The Lubei area is CBD and there are office buildings everywhere.
"You're just messing around with a hammer and a stick, is there any way to solve it once and for all?" Zhang Shuo was obviously not satisfied with Jiang Yue's plan.
In that case, Sprout Holdings will be broken into pieces.
"Do you have any new ideas?" Jiang Yue was very wary.
She found that Zhang Shuo seemed to be addicted to spending money recently, especially after the 2 billion loan was received.
It's just a waste of money.
"cough,"
Zhang Shuo was a little embarrassed to be guessed about his intentions, but he still expressed his thoughts, "Do you think we can buy the entire Feige Building in one step and use it as the headquarters building of Sprout Holdings?"
"You want to buy Feige Building?"
Jiang Yue was shocked again, and even more confused, "Isn't the design and bidding for the planned headquarters building already underway? If you want to buy the Feige Building, why did you buy the land and build the building in the first place?"
Isn't it unnecessary?
"One code means one code." Zhang Shuo was not impulsive, "Houhai Headquarters Building, conservatively estimated, will have to wait until at least 2013 or even 2014 to be delivered for use. Do you think that with the company's current development speed, it can still be completed?"
Do you want to wait until then? The office area is already running out of space."
"In that case, wouldn't it be enough to just buy Feige Building from the beginning?" Jiang Yue was still puzzled.
"It's not a conflict."
Zhang Shuo is obviously more confident, "I think that in three to five years, Germination Holdings and its subsidiaries will be able to build two headquarters buildings. Maybe they will also build headquarters buildings in other cities."
Tenda has more than one headquarters building.
"After Feige Daxia buys it, it will mainly be used as the headquarters of Sprout Holdings in the future. As for Houhai Building, it is more likely to be handed over to the two subsidiaries of Qinghe Technology and Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment for joint use."
"I......"
Jiang Yue didn't even know what to say.
If Zhang Shuo had not created one miracle after another in the past six months, if anyone had said this, she would have thought that she was crazy about gains and losses.
Isn’t this too optimistic?
"Anyway, I have money in my account now. Even if my idea cannot be realized, buying the Feige Building as a pure property investment will not be a loss based on the current market conditions, right?" Zhang Shuo continued to explain.
His thoughts are.
After buying the Feige Building, it can be mortgaged to a bank for a loan.
Kill two birds with one stone.
This is actually the same idea as the previous purchase of shops, except that the former is for the development layout of Qingcheng Retail in Binhai City, while the latter is purely to solve the practical problem of insufficient office space.
The essence is the same.
The period of development opportunities left for Sprout Holdings is the next ten years. With foresight, Zhang Shuo cannot just follow the steps and do as much as he has money.
That's downright stupid.
Not only will you miss a lot of opportunities, you will also miss a lot of opportunities.
And once some opportunities are missed, there will never be a second chance to come back.
Therefore, the really smart thing to do is to borrow as much of the money that workers have worked hard to save in the bank as possible, then turn around and earn money from workers, and so on.
The difference is just.
Zhang Shuo will not blindly borrow money to expand in order to pursue corporate scale or diversified development.
More importantly, with the system in place, Zhang Shuo's personal desire for wealth is actually not that high. The money earned by Sprout Holdings will eventually be given back to society through other means.
Just don't let the capital be lost.
Zhang Shuo’s wish is to be an ordinary gatekeeper of social wealth seriously.
That's all.
If in the process, Sprout Holdings and its subsidiaries can also use technology to facilitate people's lives, instead of letting technology become a sword hanging over people's heads.
That would be perfect.
"Okay, I'll take the time to talk to the owner of Feige Building, but I don't know if they are willing to sell." Jiang Yue was finally persuaded by Zhang Shuo.
Who is Zhang Shuo the big boss? And Sprout Holdings is indeed not short of money.
"As long as the price is right, there is no impossible deal."
In my impression, in 2012 in the original time and space, the Feige Building was sold.
That's why Zhang Shuo is so confident.
The two were chatting when Chen Xiaowan knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Zhang, someone is looking for you."
"Who's looking for me?"
"I don't know, I said I'm here to apply for a driver job."
"Okay, I get it now."
Zhang Shuo realized that it might be the person introduced by his second uncle, "Wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
