Chapter 363: SoftBank (First Update)
In terms of the current strength of Tinder, Zhang Chen actually does not need to meet with Larry Page and Sergey Brin in person, Su Zhuorui cooperates with the legal department of Tinder, and can completely complete the investment in this project.
But he was too curious about these two people.
The founder of Google, who has a market value of more than $600 billion!
When Zhang Chen looked at the reports of the two men before his rebirth, he often had a question, which described the success of Larry Page and Sergey Brin with great ease, and without exception, none of these reports gave a positive description of their management and strategic skills.
This made Zhang Chen wonder, could it be that Google was able to become the hegemon of the Internet industry just because of luck? Could it really be that pigs can fly when they stand on the tuyere? But it was not a pig that flew up, it was a special dinosaur, and it was a Tyrannosaurus rex.
Therefore, Zhang Chen believes that these two people should definitely not be as reported by the media, in addition to technology, there must be more outstanding, and they must be very powerful in management, and they must be genius managers and strategists.
After meeting, Zhang Chen found that he was thinking too muchγγγγγγ
Maybe the two of them have really improved their business level after being tempered later, but now, it is indeed just two nerds.
It can be seen how strong the wind is blowing on the Internet in this era, and now, it will take about two or three years to blow on Google.
In the United States, the most violent wind is the Internet, and in China, Wu Yingzheng is happily blown by the wind of telecommunications infrastructure construction.
Since October, Starcom's monthly turnover has been quadrupling each month.
Wu Ying even vaguely regretted why she asked for the $100 million investment from IDG and Tinder Source later, if she had known that the business could be so hot, she could maintain expansion by relying on operating profits.
But on second thought, although 50% of the shares fell into the hands of IDG and Tinder, it is precisely with this 100 million US dollars that the second phase of the plant and the third phase of the plant can be built at the same time.
And with a hundred million dollars in front of him, who can not be tempted?
It is equivalent to more than eight yuan and nearly 900 million yuan, how many companies in China can have such value? How many companies can have 900 million in cash?
Moreover, according to the current sales forecast, the production capacity of the first phase of the plant will be saturated by April, and the second and third phases of the factory will be opened at that time, which can make up for the lack of production capacity.
If Seon loses his horse, he doesn't know if it's a blessing.
Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang comforted themselves in their hearts.
Fortunately, IDG and Tindersource are not very involved in the operation of the current management team, but have provided extremely beneficial support to Wu Ying in terms of management consulting and management tools.
The consulting companies of this era, both in terms of professionalism and ability, are genuine.
Indeed, in the 21st century, a large number of consulting companies have indiscriminately filled the number, and the quality of their employees has declined greatly, and consulting companies have gradually become chicken ribs for professional companies, and even many consulting companies have become channels for money laundering.
But the consulting firms of the nineties, especially the top ones, were undoubtedly at the top of the business.
Before the advent of the Internet era, the biggest difference between consulting companies and ordinary companies is the information advantage, even if you think you know enough about the industry, consulting companies can find consultants who know better than you and have a higher level of services for you.
McKinsey, Boston, Arthur Andersen, various top consulting companies take turns to provide management consulting and various training for Starcom, production management, there is a lean production master Ito Jean for Starcom to design the production management process, now Starcom, compared to Zhang Chen before his rebirth, the foundation is firmer, the foundation is thicker.
"Mr. Wu, the batch of AN2000 that Desheng wants is urging the delivery again, saying that if they don't deliver it again, they should be sued by Jiangzhou Telecom!"
"Tell them that the goods will be shipped within two days! Let them wait, M's delivery date has been given to them a week in advance, and urge! Let the sales department tell Li Wende that the core components need to be imported and shipped by air, and let him add 3000 air freight for each unit!"
"Mr. Wu! A group of people from northern Xinjiang came to the factory gate, saying that they wanted to buy goods, and I asked them to find the Chang'an office, but they didn't do it, saying that they came with cash. β
"Who, Lao Huang! Lao Huang! You receive it, your attitude is better, last time that customer was angry with you and almost had a heart attack!"
"Mr. Wu, the people from the Jiangban District Science and Technology Industry Association are in the conference room, can you see them?"
"I'm annoyed, didn't you see that I'm busy? Ask them what's the matter? Do you want to order a magazine again? Let He Shengnan deal with it. β
Mr. Wu γγγγγ β
Mr. Wu γγγγγ β
γγγγγγ
Finally, I got off work at half past five, and I was not so busy, Wu Ying collapsed on the chair, and she didn't even have the strength to drink water, and MD was too tired.
Jingle bells, and the office landline rings again.
"Mr. Wu, at seven o'clock in the evening, you made an appointment with Director Wang of the Jiangdu City Planning Commission for dinner. β
Wu Ying sighed in her heart and came back to work.
"Okay, I know, let Xiao Wang wait for me downstairs, I'll go down immediately." Wu Ying hung up the phone, rubbed her face, and ran to the bathroom to wash again, feeling a lot more refreshed.
Wu Ying lifted the briefcase and was just about to go downstairs when her phone rang.
Lu Hongliang.
"Old road, what's the matter?"
"Are there any other arrangements for the evening?" Lu Hongliang's tone was a little eager.
Wu Ying was stunned: "Yes, I made an appointment with Wang Chao of the Jiangdu Planning Commission." β
Lu Hongliang asked, "Can you push it off?"
Wu Ying wondered: "Push it off, what's wrong, what's wrong?"
Lu Hongliang's tone was calm: "Lao Sun is here." β
Wu Ying's ears twitched: "Sun Zhengyi?"
Lu Hongliang said: "Yes, I just got off the plane, and I was going to pick him up at the airport." I just mentioned to him yesterday that I wanted him to come here, but I didn't expect him to fly over today, and I didn't notice him in advance. β
Wu Ying immediately decided: "I know, you say the place, I'll go over in a while." β
Lu Hongliang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's still Zhang Shengji, I've booked a private room, you can just go over directly." β
Wu Ying looked at her watch, "Okay." It used to take at least an hour and a half for you to pick him up, and I should be fine. β
Wu Ying quickly went downstairs and told the driver Xiao Wang to go to the Hyatt Hotel.
Wu Ying handled things properly, even if he definitely had to make an appointment with Wang Chao today, he still had to do what he had to do, and people couldn't find fault with it.
When he arrived at Hyatt, he and Wang Chao finished the things that should be done, and explained what should be explained, Wu Ying rushed to Zhang Shengji non-stop.
For Son Zhengyi, he did not dare to slack off, although the other party did not vote for himself, but there were indeed special circumstances at that time, two months ago Son Zhengyi asked through Lu Hongliang if there was a chance to participate again, and he was also willing to invest in Starcom according to the plan of 30 million US dollars and 30% shares.
It's a pity that the first $23 million financing of IDG and Tinder Source has already arrived, and I really can't regret it, Lu Hongliang didn't say anything, and he still had a little pimple in his heart, he and Son Zhengyi are old classmates, and their friendship is extraordinary, so they are naturally more willing to accept Son's investment.
But this little pimple disappeared with the arrival of the second $100 million financing from IDG and Tinder Source at the end of December, 100 million US dollars, although he can only cash out 20 million, his shares are the most, at least more than 5 million, just this number, he has received more than ten times the return.
With $100 million and a 14.62% stake, Starcom's valuation is close to $700 million.
Mr. Son was invited by Lu Hongliang, and now the founding team and the investor each hold 50% of the shares, and each of the four board seats occupies two seats, and the investor nominated Liu Ming to serve as one of the directors, while the other seat was given to Xiong Xiaoge.
In terms of Starcom, Lu Hongliang and Wu Ying are undoubtedly members of the board of directors, and Lu Hongliang, as the chairman of the board of directors, has the right to add another board member.
Lu Hongliang found Sun Zhengyi.
