Chapter 187: Establishment of the laboratory
Wang Yueheng was even more strange: "Isn't the key question who is stupid? Our money is invested in the door opener, as long as the person who invests in Geng Bin's team is not the door opener, isn't it good? Anyway, the door opener doesn't buy this service." ”
Li Jingfei suddenly realized, yes! Anyway, the one who burns money against Xiaokang and PK block cloud is not a doorman!
Chu Yuanxi didn't have a God's perspective, of course he didn't know that there was such a thing, and he was busy signing with Huang Tuan at this time. Not because of the well-off, but because of the Ba people.
The reason for the incident was that at the annual meeting in January this year, Du Li and Yu Qing, two lucky winners of Ba Ren, drew a special DKP of 4 million each, which could only be used for entrepreneurship. So the two joined forces and made a start-up capital of 8 million, and the Ba people invested another 12 million to make a start-up bureau of sharing power banks.
Now that this game has basically been lost, Chu Yuanxi has to come forward to clean up the mess, otherwise it will become a tragedy.
In fact, when I did this bureau, I was very entangled, mainly because of the entanglement of terms. This bureau does not have a personal valuation, in other words, the two founders only have a share of 4 million DKP each, and because it is DKP, all the real money and silver are paid by the Ba people, and they have to be carried back when they are realized.
Therefore, the two people signed a plan that focuses on incentives, and the founder can only make money after this framework is done, assuming that it is not good or bad, and the company transfers it to others at a tie price of 20 million, they can't get any money, and they can get a little hard money. Otherwise, it will become the realization of special DKP, which must be eliminated.
Chu Yuanxi hoped in his heart that they could succeed, and if they did, they would set a precedent for the Ba people, so that the annual meeting award had the meaning of existence, and the failure to achieve it became a brave attempt. Although it is said that youth has not failed, this special DKP is really going to taste defeat for the first time after the incubation of peak visual effects, the Mediterranean, the Gobi network, etc.
Even so, Chu Yuanxi comforted the two founders at the beginning, even if they really failed to succeed, they could gain experience, which was very valuable experience. Because they were only grassroots employees before, they had almost no contact with the daily life of the management, so they had no experience at all, so even if they failed, at least they gained an experience as a start-up executive, and even if they returned to Baren, they could seamlessly enter the management.
Of course, everyone knows that this is a big pie drawn, and Chu Yuanxi himself knows it, so he hopes that they can succeed instead of coming back to become middle-level managers. Is there really a day when you will receive it or not?
At that time, just after the annual meeting was dispersed, Yu Qing immediately grabbed Chu Yuanxi and asked: "Mr. Chu, I have always had a question just now that I didn't have a good chance to ask, that is, if the shared charging treasure is so simple and so good, you can be well-off, why don't you start a simple business by yourself? Or as a business under the well-off, right?"
Chu Yuanxi prevaricated at that time because of his limited energy, but in fact, it was not because of energy, energy is like that, there will always be a squeeze, but because this is a question of who is "please start with the heir". At the annual meeting, in order to encourage these two guys who are not particularly active after getting the special DKP, they have the courage to start a business, so he talked about the good side of sharing charging treasure, and those reasons are very real.
However, there are two sides to the story. Even if the shared charging treasure industry has made a profit through collective price increases, there is a huge market scale, a healthy financial model and a good operating model, especially as an entrance to obtain offline traffic, Chu Yuanxi still doesn't want to do this through the power of Xiaokang, because he feels that this is the self-reserved land of Huangtuan and Lan Hunger, and people will collapse all the existing systems at any time, and Xiaokang needs to move from victory to victory, and cannot rashly cut into the advantageous territory of others.
At that time, he himself was relatively sober anyway, knowing that the most efficient use scenario of shared charging treasure was the restaurant, and with the same deterrent effect of reviews on various businesses, especially catering businesses, he really wanted to play some tricks, and the players on the track had to cry out.
Therefore, Xiaokang does have its own charging service, but it is not as a business project, nor does it expand externally, but exists as a benefit for customers who come to the store, and the convenience store is just a point where you don't need to look at the face of the takeaway platform.
As a result, he unfortunately said that since May, Huangtuan has begun to roll out its own shared charging treasure on a large scale, not to mention the long-term electricity, and the four little dragons of the charging treasure can't bear it, because all catering spots as long as they are connected to Huangtuan can't resist the conditions offered by Huangtuan.
Fortunately, although Chu Yuanxi didn't help Jiudian for a long time, even Xiaokang didn't allow them to come in, but he gave a golden suggestion, which was to avoid the restaurant. In other words, although the restaurant is good, don't be greedy when grabbing land, on the contrary, users in traditional cafes stay for a long time, and they are also not too dependent on Huang Tuanlan, so they should make greater efforts to tackle tough problems.
Therefore, when Huang Tuan saw that the entrepreneurs had cultivated the shared charging treasure market well, they brazenly took action, and the so-called giants collectively screamed under the blow of dimensionality reduction, but it was the rising star Jiudian who could barely support it.
But under the pressure of Mount Tai, it is also in danger. The most obvious phenomenon after Huang Tuan's shot is that all players have to be stuck, that is, it is difficult to expand the territory, unless the merchants can be given more favorable conditions than Huang Tuan.
However, not to mention that the general point does not dare to squeak at Huang Tuan, Huang Tuan has any requirements to take and demand, even those who do not need Bird Huang Tuan, people can offer more favorable conditions and kill the opponent from the commercial competition.
In the final analysis, shared charging treasure is an industry without threshold, whoever has the ability to do it on the ground, so there is really competition, who is large, who is a friend of time. Huang Tuan is a great master who burns money, and he only needs to open the conditions below the breakeven line, and he doesn't need to really lose much money, and the competitors have only one way to surrender their guns.
And Jiudian can be said to be born at the wrong time, just decided to start a business to catch up with the magic of 2020, and it was easy to start working and was hit by the yellow group's dimensionality reduction, resulting in an extremely limited territory occupied, and it did not become a climate at all. Imagine that this is a track with more than 200 million users, a financing like a little monster is hundreds of millions, and Jiudian only has 20 million funds, if it doesn't last long enough, I'm afraid Huang Tuan won't notice that there is such a number.
This situation lasted until August, and Du Li and Yu Qing found that they really couldn't keep an eye on it, so they had to turn to Chu Yuanxi for help, either to inject another amount of money in order to continue to survive, or they had to accept their fate and make some money as soon as possible. This amount of money is not money for the Ba Ren Group, but if you give a little to two people, it will not be in vain for most of the year.
The two of them thought that Jiuden would still be worth some money. Although the well-off itself did not have access to Jiudian, in the second half of the year, the momentum of the rise of the well-off was very strong, and the city treasure also circled many businesses. The so-called don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, when Jiudian goes to grab the land, what do others call it? What the hell is Jiudian? Oh, the well-off brother company, disrespectful and disrespectful! Therefore, it is relatively easy to negotiate, and although Huang Tuan does not notice it, it is still a little well-known in this field. Especially when others can't get by.
But in fact, the reason why Jiudian is very capable is not that other entrepreneurs are stupid and can't see the threat of Huangtuan, it is nothing more than because it is the Ba people who invest in Jiudian, and the money itself has no time cost, so it can afford to drag it out;
In fact, Chu Yuanxi was very pleased that Du Li and Yu Qing could recognize the situation, because he felt that he should vote in June, but there was really no reason to tell the two of them like this. For the Pakistani people, of course, the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it is, and those who could have been sold at a good price may not be able to sell it later, but it is only 20 million in total.
As for how much Jiudian can be worth, Chu Yuanxi is not optimistic, because the price does not depend on Jiudian, but on whether Huang Tuan is "obedient".
However, the Huang Tuan appeared unhurried and seemed careless about the players on the current track, because the time was on their side. A very simple situation is that if it costs ten dollars to buy something, but it only costs two dollars or less to do it yourself, it just takes some time, why not do it yourself?
In August, he said to Liang Kenian, who was in charge of coming forward: "Urge the other party, there are actually potential big buyers of the assets of the Ba people, and remind them not to lose big because of small things." ”
Needless to say, it's best to leave room for reverie, or even turn into a blind one. You must know that although Blue Hunger itself is limited to one field of takeaway, Huangtuan has no boundary, so it can expand outward at will. However, Lan Hunger is Ali's local life and business group, and of course the movements of Huang Tuan must be paid attention to, not only to pay attention, but also to study whether to follow up.
And when the three-month time point for Huang Tuan to take action came, it was actually very delicate. Of course, it would be best if Ali didn't plan to take action, but if there is a person who once created Ali's largest foreign merger and acquisition in 2019, and now he runs to stimulate Ali, so that the other party has any bad ideas, and he doesn't even need to run over, he only needs to beep two sentences on the circle of friends and even Weibo, which ......
Anyway, it's not a matter of only spending two dollars to make the same product yourself, not to mention that there are hundreds of PK waiting for the back, these track players who didn't eat it because they were slowly swallowed before have become the acquisition targets of the other party!
Therefore, Huang Tuan took out the acceleration visible to the naked eye, and the two sides quickly approached each other in terms of price, which was very obedient!
However, there are still a lot of procedures that need to be taken to sign a merger and acquisition, and it is as simple as Baren Games because the finance is very simple, while the financial transparency of the ground project is relatively low. Moreover, after Huang Tuan woke up, he did not just buy Jiudian, so he signed his intention at the end of August and officially completed the merger and acquisition in December.
Since the Ba Ren Group is the actual controller of Jiudian, this word has to be signed by Chu Yuanxi, and the final price is 26 million, and it can make a little money.
Chu Yuanxi felt sincerely relieved, because Du Li and Yu Qing could each get 1.2 million, and the time was less than a year. This is enough to show that the incubation and entrepreneurship model invented by himself is successful, and it is an explanation to the brothers, similar to sending goose feathers for thousands of miles, and the courtesy is light and affectionate!
At this time, he was a bit like pulling the two of them back to the Ba people to do management posts. In the past few months, Du Li is okay, he was originally dry on the ground, and it is not surprising that he has done a solid job, Yu Qing really gives people a bright feeling, she has negotiated a lot of hard negotiations, and she has used all kinds of methods, both bright and dark, and she is worthy of being a person who is interested in the judicial examination!
But according to the agreement, they must join the Yellow Group, which makes Chu Yuanxi quite reluctant.
During this time, the atmosphere inside the well-off can be described as relaxed before the pressure comes, because now the well-off knows that the real big test has not yet come, and it is related to the success or failure of the well-off, or to what extent it can succeed, it is the moment to join next year, and it is also the moment when Ali really makes a move. The previous Huazhi light member plus is just Ali's first hand of chess, which can be called "tentative hand" in Go, but after a test of it, I found that Xiaokang was fine, but the hustle and bustle on the track suddenly became smaller.
Then it is conceivable that when Xiaokang sacrifices to join, Ali's move is the key. However, even if only a few people in the well-off know that Chu Yuanxi has a big move behind him at this moment, but the confidence is very strong, and no one from top to bottom feels that there is anything to be afraid of, this is the self-confidence that has been cultivated from the beginning of the city treasure online in the past six months.
This self-confidence is very rare, it is equivalent to adding an overall buff, so that the work efficiency is maintained at an extremely high water level and does not decline, and there is no need for Chu Yuanxi to use his own brain in many situations, and the arrogant soldiers on each product line will crush the problem.
Chu Yuanxi felt that he should recover his morale slightly, otherwise if he didn't know where to come from, he might lose even more morale.
During this time, he planned to add a unit called a laboratory to the well-off structure. In fact, although Cao Xiang's blockchain group is not called a laboratory, it has always existed in the mode of a laboratory, and it is a special point in the well-off itself.
Other project teams are based on the OKR work system, and they are scattered, sometimes centralized, and sometimes even disrupted, forming some special small teams to tackle tasks one by one. However, the blockchain group is hardly disassembled, and it does not seek temporary members much from outside, and the tasks are relatively special, except for the fact that the internal and external chains are on the chain with a clear start and end date, and the workflow is supervised by milestones, other tasks are rarely mandatory.
In this case, the blockchain group has not lost something, such as writing a few patents today, inventing an algorithm tomorrow, etc., which are not dazzling when disassembled, and can clearly feel that there is a large research component when you look at it comprehensively.
And Chu Yuanxi doesn't care much, a large number of tasks are Cao Xiang's own production and self-sale, or call himself a proposition, let the siege lion in the following block disintegrate, unraveling is the result, and it doesn't matter if you can't solve it.
It is precisely because of the existence of this atmosphere that Cao Xiang was able to completely put aside his work at the end of last year to study the token of Zhongchuang Tonghui, and then solve the case. Replace it with other groups, even if the team leaders have this heart, the workflow is not allowed!
Of course, Chu Yuanxi's current structure of adding a laboratory to Xiaokang is not aimed at Cao Xiang, but that large companies should have their own laboratories and have their own technical specialties and assault directions. BAT and Huawei are simply blooming everywhere in this regard, such as Penguin's joint innovation lab, Huawei's network lab, Ali XG lab, etc., and Hongyan has also published medical papers as the corresponding author!
This is on par with large international companies, and companies like Google and Microsoft invest countless amounts of money in experiments every year, while Apple, Facebook, etc. are relatively poor.
There are a lot of technologies that Xiaokang currently has or needs, such as big data, cloud computing, AI, blockchain, etc., AR and VR also have special siege lions to serve, even if they do not study the underlying architecture and infrastructure of the network, they should also take out some of their ability to conduct their own research.
The so-called pure research work means that the input-output ratio is not prominent, and it is not on the product line, and there is no practical application foothold when the proposition is proposed.
This can be said to abound in basic disciplines, but in network engineering, the average company will definitely not do it, and can only use their precious time to do it privately when the programming ape has a strong interest. If you are lucky enough to have a good result, you can apply for a patent.
Of course, there are many places that need to be tested in the process of code development and testing, but this kind of experiment is not an experiment with experimentation.
Xiaokang now has the courage to become a large company, although it has not yet entered the process of making money, it is always right to prepare in advance to increase your own heritage.
Therefore, when Chu Yuanxi proposed to establish a laboratory in an academic way, there was no objection, but most of the executives were not familiar with this kind of thing, including CTO Zhou Mingjun, who had never studied genes, so the chief scientist had to come forward to take the position of director.
Chu Yuanxi privately teased Zhou Mingjun: "Look at it, the chief technology officer and the chief scientist are still different......
In fact, what makes them unfamiliar is the process of proposing propositions and the way of participating in experiments. In their minds, it should be the director of the laboratory who puts forward various propositions, and then recruits interested and powerful siege lions in the company to enter the laboratory and disintegrate, which is equivalent to temporarily expanding the scope of the blockchain group, and the feeling of restoring it after the research is over.
However, this is obviously not the case for scholars, but whoever wants to do an experiment declares the project and funding, which is approved by the director, and the person who passes temporarily joins the laboratory, uses the funds to solve his own project within the specified time, and then leaves.
After suffering the loss of no culture, Chu Yuanxi himself is actually not familiar with this mechanism, but as long as Cao Xiang thinks that there is no problem, it is no problem. This is also one of the reasons why he was jokingly called by outsiders to offer Cao Xiang as an ancestor.
