Sprinkle coins every day

As soon as he got to work, Luo Changan came to report: "Mr. Zhang, I received a cooperation invitation from Ari, asking if we are interested in the shares held by Ari. If there is, they can transfer it to you at a suitable price. us."

"Ari is ready to quit the mold group?"

It's not surprising that Zhang Shuo is an accident. It's time to break up, and it's destined to break up.

"It should be. The news I got is that Ari originally wanted to promote the merger of Ari and Ari Dianping, but was strongly resisted by Ari Dianping in the end. The two parties completely collapsed." Luo Changan was also well informed.

"What's your opinion?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"If you analyze it purely from an investment perspective, I don't recommend taking the offer."

"reason?"

"The food delivery industry itself is seriously involved. The three giants have their own reliance, and the mold group has been squeezed to the edge. With Ari's withdrawal, it will lose its competitiveness even more." Luo Changan analyzed.

"Then refuse."

Although Zhang Shuo had paid attention to Meituan before, it was just a casual move. The only cooperation reached with Meituan was to allow Meituan to access Weixin Payment.

Think from a business perspective.

The strategy of Qingcheng Group in the food delivery business is very clear, that is, to deeply cultivate the urban white-collar market, and there is no effective complementarity with the mold group itself.

If there is no accident, it is estimated that Meituan will still fall into Tengda's arms in the end.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shuo frowned.

He doesn't want the mold group to grow as big as the original time and space, not to mention emotionally, he doesn't want to see the rise of a platform like the mold group, and a single family dominates. It is based on the consideration of real interests. The rise of the mold group is very important to the Qingcheng Group It would also be a huge threat.

Once Meituan merges with Dacong Dianping, the appetite will definitely not be limited to the takeaway business.

Bike sharing, ticketing services, travel, grocery shopping, taxis, etc., with the appetite of Meituan, will definitely get involved in it and form direct competition with Qingcheng Group.

Exactly.

It is the competition between the capital represented by Tengda behind the mildew group and the germination behind the Qingcheng Group.

This has to make people vigilant.

Then, from a long-term perspective, even if Zhang Shuo is not interested in Meituan and unwilling to take over from Ari, he can't just watch Meituan and Tengda come together quickly.

Something has to be done.

"If you do this, quietly release the news, saying that Tengda intends to bring together Meituan to merge with Dacong Dianping. Let's see how Ari and Qiandu will react."

Although Zhang Shuo didn't realize Ahri's temptation, it didn't prevent him from following along.

Didn't Ari want to quit?

Then simply hype up this matter to attract the attention of the Big Three, and see if they can use the mildew group as a trigger to detonate the melee of the Big Three in the field of food delivery.

The more brothers and ruthless the three families fight, the more the Qingcheng Group can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Multiple Group merged with Da Cong Dianping? I haven't heard such news." Luo Changan was very puzzled.

"Take it as a smoke bomb."

Zhang Shuo didn't explain at all, "Also, remember to keep an eye on Scarlet Capital's actions."

"All right!"

Luo Chang'an also knew that the big boss had great powers, so he wisely didn't ask any further questions.

"In addition, regarding the sale of 71 assistants, the Investment and Acquisition Department should be more patient, delay as long as possible, and try to negotiate a result that is most beneficial to us." Zhang Shuo mentioned another matter.

Before rejecting Qiandu and Ari's cooperation request in the field of local life services, Zhang Shuo felt a little "sorry" and threw out a bait without even thinking about it.

To be precise, it was two, plus Magic Map Xiuxiu.

These two projects had been on Zhang Shuo's sale list a long time ago. Seeing that they were almost cultivated, it was natural to sell them as soon as possible to obtain a working capital.

Telling Qiandu and Ari that Germination's capital chain is tight is not a bluff, but the truth.

In the past two months, due to the lack of funds of the group, Zhang Shuo always felt constrained in his work, and made up his mind to make some changes. Letting go of the A-round financing of Qingcheng Group is only the first step of the change.

Selling 71 assistants may be the key to breaking the game.

.........

in the afternoon.

Zhang Shuo held a temporary meeting, attended by Jiang Yue, the rotating president of Sprout Group, Wu Sheyuan, the group's human resources director, Pei Weiping, the president of Qingcheng Group, and Du Qingqing, the vice president.

Dai Yutong attended the meeting and was responsible for the minutes of the meeting.

Just this morning, the A-round financing of Qingcheng Group officially landed, introducing six investment institutions including Binhai City Venture Fund, Binhai City Investment, Houhai Industrial Development Fund, Yangcheng City Investment, Jingshi City Investment, and Pingam Bank, with a capital of 160 billion Valuation, a total of 20% of the equity of Qingcheng Group has been subscribed, and a financing of up to 32 billion has been completed.

It is also the first financing for a budding company.

After the financing is completed, according to regulations, Qingcheng Group needs to raise a board of directors, as well as the strategy committee, audit committee, investment committee, and nomination and remuneration committee under the board of directors.

According to the results of previous discussions with investors, the first board of directors of Qingcheng Group, in principle, consists of five directors, including two internal directors, one non-executive director nominated by Germination, and one external non-executive director nominated by investors , and an independent director who is a professional scholar.

Needless to say, the two internal directors are Pei Weiping and Du Qingqing.

Coupled with a non-executive director nominated by Germination, it basically ensures Germination Group's main decision-making position as the controlling shareholder of Green Orange Group, and guarantees the interests of Germination Group in Green Orange Group.

Discussed now.

It is to nominate who will be the non-executive director of Qingcheng Group.

Zhang Shuo's idea is to nominate Jiang Yue to the board of directors of the Green Orange Group, and then recommend Pei Weiping as the chairman of the Green Orange Group, and Du Qingqing to succeed Pei Weiping as the president of the Green Orange Group.

Jiang Yue raised objections.

"I think this kind of personnel adjustment is inappropriate, at least the current conditions are not mature enough."

She objected. First, she was worried that the Green Orange Group would break away from the control of the Germinal Group and become a de facto independent kingdom. Second, she was worried that Du Qingqing was not qualified enough to be the president of the Green Orange Group.

"Tell me your opinion."

After all, Jiang Yue is the rotating president. She clearly objected, so Zhang Shuo should think about it.

"My opinion is that you, Mr. Zhang, will serve as the non-executive director of Qingcheng Group in person, and then you will be elected as the chairman of Qingcheng Group. The positions of Mr. Pei and Mr. Du will remain unchanged for the time being."

Because Germinal Group had an agreement with investors before, investors are not allowed to interfere with the daily operations of Qingcheng Group, and all discussions on the decision-making of Qingcheng Group are limited to the platform of the board of directors.

This further highlights the importance of the board of directors.

With Zhang Shuo concurrently serving as the chairman of the Green Orange Group, he can not only restrain Pei Weiping and Du Qingqing, but also the non-executive directors and independent directors nominated by investors.

Make sure that the Green Orange Group is still under the control of the Germination Group.

"I agree!"

Pei Weiping was the first to stand up, "Qingcheng Group is still in the early stages of development, and it is undoubtedly the most suitable for the executives of the group headquarters, especially Mr. Zhang, to be the chairman."

"I agree!"

Du Qingqing is actually not that eager for the position of president of Qingcheng Group.

After forming the Green Orange Group, she cooperated with Pei Weiping again, and she obviously felt a lot easier at work, and she also thought that a period of growth was still needed.

I don't want to be driven to the shelves just like that.

Especially now, after introducing investors and forming a board of directors, Du Qingqing, as one of the main executives of Qingcheng Group, has attracted much attention for every move he makes.

There is no room for mistakes.

It may not be a good thing to be promoted to the president of Qingcheng Group as soon as you come up.

"Then why can't you be the chairman?"

Zhang Shuo admitted that what Jiang Yue said had some truth, but he managed to set up a rotating president, and he really didn't want to be involved in the vortex of the Green Orange Group again.

I just wanted to pick a pick.

"If you want me to be tired until the early watch, then I have no problem." Jiang Yue directly used his trump card.

"..."

Zhang Shuo was completely speechless, what else could he say?

I can only accept my fate.

"Then I will add one more point, and I will recommend Pei Weiping as the vice chairman to be responsible for the daily affairs of the board of directors." At the critical moment, Zhang Shuo wanted to struggle again.

"no problem."

In fact, Jiang Yue didn't expect Zhang Shuo to take care of specific matters, but he wanted to use Zhang Shuo's name to control the board of directors of Qingcheng Group.

Only Pei Weiping smiled wryly.

He didn't dare to learn from Jiang Yue, and came earlier to threaten Zhang Shuo, the big boss.

"In addition, Du Qingqing was promoted to Senior Vice President of Green Orange Group. If necessary in the future, Green Orange Group can add another vice president." Zhang Shuo did not forget Du Qingqing.

After all, he was his first partner.

Before, he even forced Du Qingqing to sell the shares of Qingcheng Retail in a disguised form. If he kept it until now, then Du Qingqing would have achieved financial freedom long ago.

No matter what, I have to give some compensation.

Du Qingqing's promotion to senior vice president was due to the fact that his salary could be improved, and the second was to clarify the position of the first candidate for the president so as not to be overtaken by latecomers.

"can."

Of course, Jiang Yue is also very smart, knowing that enough is enough, and her previous objection was not because she had any opinion on Du Qingqing himself, but purely to fulfill the duties of the rotating president.

No personal grievances are involved.

.........

After the meeting, Zhang Shuo called Pei Weiping and Du Qingqing to the office alone.

"After Qingcheng Group completes the A round of financing, do you two have a plan for how to develop next?" Zhang Shuo didn't go around the bush, and went straight to the point.

Of course, it is impossible to use all of the 32 billion huge funds to expand the Qingcheng Xiaozhu store.

That was too extravagant.

Except in Binhai City, the green orange buildings in other cities are rented shops, even if they are opened in the CBD area, because the decoration is already standardized, the average cost of opening a new shop is around 50.

Calculated in this way, the 32 billion capital is enough to open more than 6000 green orange small buildings.

Only a madman would do that.

Even considering the central kitchen, warehousing, distribution and other supporting facilities, it is enough to open four or five thousand new Qingcheng Xiaozhu stores.

Still pretty crazy.

You know, until 2022, the total number of Starbucks stores in China will be more than 5000.

Crazy enough?

In fact, half of the 32 billion funds is enough for the expansion of Qingcheng Xiaozhu, and it will take at least one or two years to complete the digestion.

The remaining funds still have to be invested in the development of new businesses.

"I plan to formally separate the two sub-brands, Green Orange Coffee and Green Orange Milk Tea, from Green Orange Retail. First try the university market, and then enter the supermarket."

"Will the university market be unaccustomed?"

Although Zhang Shuo is also at Binhai University, he doesn't visit often, and he doesn't have first-hand information.

"According to the statistical survey data of Binhai University, Green Orange Coffee is indeed a bit unacceptable in Binhai University, but Green Orange Milk Tea is very popular among college students. Therefore, the next business strategy of Green Orange Group is to promote Green Orange Milk Tea in universities, and promote Green Orange Milk Tea in universities. Shangchao strongly promotes Green Orange Coffee and implements differentiated operations.” Pei Weiping explained.

"this is not bad."

Zhang Shuo was very pleased. At the beginning, he promised counselor Qiu Jiahui to "attract business and capital". It was originally just a perfunctory act, but in order to complete the task, it turned out to be a stroke of genius.

"In addition to Green Orange Coffee, Green Orange Milk Tea, Green Orange Bicycle, and Green Orange Power Bank business, of course, also expand with the expansion of Green Orange Xiaozhu, neither radical nor backward." Pei Weiping continued to introduce.

"it is good!"

Zhang Shuo liked Pei Weiping's calmness.

Du Qingqing, who is in charge of Qingcheng Technology, then introduced: "Qingcheng app will accelerate the layout of the track in tourism, online movie ticketing, hotel reservations, etc., and strive to catch up with its peers within a year."

The peers she mentioned are naturally camel travel and dolphin travel.

"I have no objection to this."

Camel Travel and Dolphin Travel are old travel websites. If Qingcheng wants to catch up, it will naturally speed up. "But there is one thing, we must pay attention to the development of Qingcheng app, especially the user experience and software optimization. There are too many functions and too complicated, and it becomes a hodgepodge, which makes people have a headache when they look at it, and there is no desire to click in. In a sense, this is related to the success or failure of Qingcheng Group.”

"understood."

After being told by Zhang Shuo, Du Qingqing became very vigilant, as if there was such a hidden danger.
