Sprinkle coins every day

Looked.

That's like getting on the budding boat.

After being forced to resign from the Pirates Saint Group, Lu Kai's current situation is indeed a bit embarrassing, but it doesn't mean that he will accept the olive branch offered by any company.

Especially when it comes to budding companies with a lot of uncertainty.

The key point is that the position given by Zhang Shuo is not the president of Germination Holdings, but only the head of the overseas business department of Germination, so the bargaining chip is really low.

If it weren't for the current buds that are dazzling enough, Lu Kai wouldn't even meet Zhang Shuo.

Who do you look down on?

"You come from an investment bank, how about we come to a gambling agreement?"

Seeing that Lu Kai was slippery, Zhang Shuo had no choice but to prescribe the right medicine.

"Oh? I would like to hear more about it." Lu Kai really became interested.

"Let's gamble on the performance. From now on, within three years, if the valuation of Germination can reach the scale of 2500 billion, I will win. If you can't meet the standard, not only the position of the president of Germination Holdings is yours, but also How about giving an additional [-] million performance rewards?"

Zhang Shuo throws out the long-planned weight, the combination of power + wealth, and he is not afraid that Lu Kai will not be tempted.

"This is quite interesting."

Lu Kai was really hooked, and it was the first time he encountered a reverse bet.

Explain at least.

Zhang Shuo is very confident in the sprout he founded, no, very confident.

"Well, would you like to give it a try?"

Zhang Shuo thinks that he has shown enough sincerity, and he is not afraid to say that after Lu Kai agreed, he deliberately did not act, so as to block the achievement of Germination's performance goals for the next three years.

Not to mention that Lu Kai is a professional manager, so he can't do something that goes against his professionalism.

If Lu Kai's real goal is to be the president of Germination, then he should go all out to help Germination achieve performance standards. The reverse operation seems smart, but it cannot win the trust of other executives.

Naturally, he is getting farther and farther away from the position of president.

So Zhang Shuo set up a paradox trap here, forcing Lu Kai to have no choice.

"Then I'll try and hand over the next three years to Germination."

The bait thrown by Zhang Shuo really hit Lu Kai's weakness, and the performance reward was second to none. Lu Kai was mainly interested in the position of president of Germination Holdings.

The one who wants to emulate Ahri.

If in the next ten years, he can single-handedly push Germinal to the top five positions in Huaxia Internet, then his career will be considered complete.

No more regrets.

"Then, welcome to Germination!"

After shaking hands with Lu Kai, Zhang Shuo took out an employment contract. The performance-based gambling agreement he mentioned earlier had been clearly written in the supplementary clauses.

In addition to incentives for performance, Zhang Shuo's annual salary for Lu Kai is 500 million + performance.

Breaking a new budding salary record again.

"Boss Zhang has already prepared."

Lu Kai was slightly taken aback. After reading the contract carefully, he signed it without hesitation. Once a person like him made up his mind, he would not hesitate.

They are all very confident people.

…………

the next day.

Lu Kai appeared in the Germination Building to go through formal entry procedures.

Out of the need for confidentiality, Zhang Shuo did not announce Lu Kai's joining with great fanfare, and even the entry procedures were handled by the administrative assistant Jiang Yue himself.

After that, Jiang Yue will personally accompany Lu Kai to Xiangjiang to take office.

After joining the company, Lu Kai's official position in Germination is the vice president of Germination Holdings, the president of the overseas business department and the general manager of Sunlight Holdings, which is like wearing three layers of armor.

To the outside world, he only appeared as the general manager of Sunshine Holdings.

Seeing that Zhang Shuozhen had invited Lu Kai, Jiang Yue quietly gave a thumbs up, really shocked.

Finish the formalities.

Zhang Shuo invited Lu Kai to the office for a talk. Compared with yesterday's mutual testing, after the exchange of identities, this talk can be described as open and honest.

It can be regarded as an ex-conversation.

"The holding company has three main definitions of the overseas business department."

"One is to undertake the holding company's overseas investment, mergers and acquisitions, and financing matters. This is your old business."

Lu Kai just nodded silently.

"The second is to undertake the overseas business of the holding company and its subsidiaries, including but not limited to the overseas agency and promotion of games under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, the promotion of Weixin International Edition under Qinghe Technology, and the Ruiwen Studio of Qingyun Data in Silicon Valley. and many more."

In a word, the overseas business department of Sprout Holdings will be responsible for all overseas business.

"The third is to recruit overseas talents for the holding company, assist the holding company to set up overseas research and development bases, and collect business intelligence overseas for the holding company, etc."

After listening to Lu Kai, he became more and more satisfied.

It is only now that he has finally figured out what the Overseas Business Department of Germination Holdings is going to do. It is basically a booster for Germination Holdings to go international.

Its status and importance are far above any subsidiary company.

we can even say.

In the foreseeable future, the overseas business department will be in charge of more than half of the lifeblood of Sprout Holdings.

That's something to look forward to.

"There is one more tricky thing, no, it is a very secret matter to be precise, and you need to deal with it in Xiangjiang." After the routine conversation, Zhang Shuo got to the point.

"You say!"

Lu Kai also became serious. He immediately realized that what was just an appetizer just now might be Zhang Shuo's real test for him.

"Do you know ATL?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"Of course, ATL is a new energy company headquartered in Xiangjiang and controlled by Dongying TDK. Its main product is lithium batteries using polymer cells."

Lu Kai's work experience in Pirates Saint Group is not in vain.

"I got news that ATL's internal executives intend to come out and form a new new energy company in China. I hope you can contact them in advance so that you can participate in the preparation of the new company."

Germination Holdings wants to enter the electric vehicle industry in the future, and power batteries are a good breakthrough.

But Zhang Shuo knows that this new energy company, which was just established this year, will gradually shine in the next ten years, integrate the domestic power battery industry, and take the leading position.

The market value in 2021 will be close to 1.5 trillion, definitely a super unicorn.

Even if it is a purely financial investment, it will never suffer a loss.

In view of the sluggish investment and UC's setbacks before, if Zhang Shuo came forward in person, it would be basically useless, and he could only pin his hopes on Lu Kai's personal connections.

Chapter 157 Borrowing the Chicken to Lay the Egg, The Storm Comes Again!

The ATL mentioned by Zhang Shuo was originally founded by Huaxia people in Xiangjiang. It was only in 2004 that the domestic lithium battery industry encountered extremely bloody price wars and suffered setbacks, so it changed hands.

Speaking of the rise of the domestic lithium battery industry.

On the one hand, of course, it depends on the continuous improvement of technology, but on the other hand, it also depends on the cost advantage of domestic labor.

In 2000, Biati, which is also headquartered in Binhai City, took the lead in obtaining orders for Motorola batteries using the formula of "manual + fixture = manipulator". This approach was quickly copied by many domestic small and medium-sized enterprises.

The quotations are bloody and the methods are cruel.

Toshiba Lithium Battery, the third largest in the world, was unable to take care of itself after being hit directly, so it sold its business in 2003.

ATL also suffered losses in this round of price war, and the management tried to withdraw.

Coincidentally, TDK, the former owner of the founder of ATL, was trying to expand its share in Apple's industry chain. It did not hesitate to spend [-] million US dollars to take over the capital's shares, and took control of ATL in one fell swoop.

ATL gradually became a Japanese company.

Not long ago, in December 2010, the founder of ATL passed away unfortunately, and the ATL executive team had the idea of ​​getting rid of ATL and starting a new one in China.

"Mr. Zhang, can you tell me how much money Germination plans to invest?" Lu Kai attaches great importance to investing in new energy, and secretly regards this as the first test after joining Germination.

Naturally, it is necessary to understand in more detail.

"[-] million is a base, and one billion can be obtained." Zhang Shuo was very domineering.

"Ting!!!"

Lu Kai's eyes widened, and he was really shocked by the boss's generosity. In his prediction, investing in a new energy start-up company would cost [-] million yuan.

As far as he knows, a company in Modu is engaged in a super lithium battery material enterprise, and the start-up capital is only [-] million.

Today it is today.

This enterprise has developed into the leader of domestic lithium battery anode materials.

One billion funds can hold ATL.

The premise is that Japan TDK will give up its holding on ATL, which is of course very difficult.

Better to start over.

"And Germination only makes strategic investments and does not interfere with the daily management of new enterprises." Zhang Shuo added.

--slightly--

[Level]: Level 8 (34.2 million/150 million)

【Support Fund】: 500 million/day

[Cash]: 7.5 billion

[Loans]: 26 billion (bank loans) + 2 billion (corporate bonds)

--slightly--

In the past February, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment turned over 2 million net profit, plus 2 million support funds, and deducted the 1.5 million budding building progress payment, and the budding book had an additional 0.5 million working capital.

Coupled with the 2 million financing obtained from the issuance of corporate bonds, the total working capital is as high as 7.5 million.

This is where Zhang Shuo's confidence lies.

But even so, under the premise that Germination cannot provide any help with network resources, Zhang Shuo is not sure that the future Linde era will be able to accept Germination's investment.

So keep your posture low.

"Then I know what I know." Lu Kai was very excited.

Sure enough, he made the right choice. For a single investment, Zhang Shuo dared to spend a huge sum of one billion yuan. Putting it in 2011, it was definitely a super generous investment in the venture capital circle.

Even a giant like Tengda has to weigh it a little bit.

"Well, the billion-dollar fund holding company can take it out, but it will squeeze out all the liquidity. Therefore, in order to facilitate this investment, it is necessary to conduct an overseas financing through Sunshine Holdings." Zhang Shuo said awkwardly.

"Ting!!!"

This should be the second time that Lu Kai's expression became entangled, just like he was constipated.

boss.

Can we finish the sentence in one breath next time?

I thought how rich and powerful the holding company is, but I still need financing.

"Do you have any suggestions for overseas financing?" Zhang Shuo has a very thick skin and has no discomfort at all. He tried his best to recruit Lu Kai, isn't it just for the convenience of financing.

Not at this time, when?

"By the way, if possible, try not to show the signs of budding in overseas financing." Zhang Shuo added.

This is actually common practice.

For large enterprises such as Huawei, most of their overseas financing is carried out in the name of overseas subsidiaries.

"But Sunshine Holdings is just an empty shelf now, and there is no collateral that can be sold." Lu Kai was even more troubled, why did he feel that the difficulty of the task had escalated again.

Unlike Huawei's overseas subsidiaries, they have real overseas business.
