Chapter 164: SoftBank China

After the software park project was reported to the state, it was unsurprisingly approved smoothly. Although it was expected, the feeling of euphoria was still irrepressible.

Ordinary people may not know what kind of impact this will have on Xiucheng, but people who have a little bit of knowledge have already smelled the business opportunities here.

These days, it's not just Zhou Shuo's Fanhan Group, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and even Taihe. The thresholds of district committees and district governments have a tendency to be trampled on. Some people with a more sensitive sense of smell and more well-informed personnel have even dug up the existence of Zhou Shuo's fifth uncle. The county official is not as good as the current management, although his rank is not high, he is definitely a key person.

The network building next to Xiucheng Railway Station has officially entered the preparatory stage, and with the strong support of the Fengtian Railway Bureau, funds, personnel and equipment have arrived one after another.

People from other cities in the province who came to Xiucheng to discuss cooperation even queued up from 64 to the train station. This is because Zhou Shuo has too many people, so he has to move the office of Xinke Computer Company away from a high school, otherwise the students will definitely not be able to attend classes.

On the top floor of the teaching building, in the conference room of the headquarters of Fanhan Group. The winter sun pours in through the transparent windows, creating bright patches of light on the ground. Outside the window, there was the sound of students laughing after class.

Zhou Shuo is below Mu Yi and Liang Jinghui, who are the managers of Xinke Computer, and opposite them are representatives sent by Japan's SoftBank Group. The conference table, which was originally made up of desks, has been replaced with a small coffee table made of solid wood, and the crude chairs have been replaced by comfortable sofas. The young and beautiful interns quietly shuttled through the guests to serve wine, coffee and tea and other beverages, without disturbing the meeting in the slightest.

"Xiucheng Software Park was officially approved. It has become China's first national torch planning software industry base. At present, ST Computer has cooperated with eight prefecture-level cities in Bohai Province to set up corresponding cooperative institutions and software park entrepreneurship service centers. Liang Jinghui talked eloquently. The specific planning of ST Computer in the software park project in Japan was shown.

"The Software Park Entrepreneurship Service Center is an important part of the provincial software industry alliance, which was born from the concept of Spark Planning Business Incubator. Since the State Science and Technology Commission proposed it in 87. After eight years of development, the model has become relatively mature. The main means is to provide low-cost space rental, basic office facilities and business services for start-up companies, and to help them develop through financing and technical consulting. ”

"By cultivating these enterprises that are still in the 'incubation' stage, the best of them will be absorbed into the Xiucheng Software Park. In order to promote them to improve their own technical level and support the scale of development. Generally speaking, the purpose of the start-up service center is to help the business grow and develop, but it can also provide assistance for the development of technology. Under the idea of a game of chess in the whole province, the individual strength of each city is limited. At this time, we can create a development direction for them through the entrepreneurial service center. ”

Liang Jinghui stood in front of the map. "For example, the entrepreneurship service center established by Andong City and us will focus on the development of database technology, Xixi City will focus on software testing, Tieshan will have advantages in embedded, and Fuxin and Chaoyang will share a lot of pressure for us in data entry." ”

"In addition, our start-up service center is also profitable, with investments in companies that take a portion of their equity and then grow through listing, holding and transfer of shares. In the future, ST Computer will develop in the direction of technology consulting and venture capital, which can not only achieve its own growth goals, but also provide strategic services for SoftBank Group in the Chinese market. ”

Zhou Shuo put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Liang Jinghui with a shrewd face. For more than half a year, he has been completely different from the original down-and-out teacher Gao. Wear a modest suit and gold-rimmed glasses. The hair is meticulously combed. It is said that the matchmaker who introduced him to the object was about to break the threshold of his house. Now he is enterprising and sharp, as if he has awakened another layer of personality from the inside out.

From him, Zhou Shuo seemed to see when he was just working as a project manager in Huaxing Group. The same vigor and infinite imagination of life. In the end, he is similar to his past personality, and he would rather put more energy into his skills than face too many personnel troubles. And this life. Zhou Shuo hopes to be able to keep more such people for this world. Whether it is Tu Anbei or Liang Jinghui, they are all people who he deserves to shelter from the wind and rain and have no regrets.

"The original intention of setting up the Entrepreneurship Service Center. In the final analysis, it is necessary to hatch the egg of the software park in Japan. From this point of view, it can actually be regarded as 'self' incubation. On the surface, it is an incubator. In fact, it can also be said to be an incubation technique. Without the core technology and corresponding intellectual property rights, the Japan Software Park will not have much business foundation. If it is only low-end outsourcing business such as software testing and data entry, even if it can obtain the business volume of the whole of Japan, it is estimated that it will be worth one billion dollars. But if you can join the Japanese ITO and KPO market, it is not a problem to expand the industry prospect tenfold. ”

"I really can't imagine that we still have a figure like President Zhou in China." Sitting next to Zhou Shuo, the person in charge of SoftBank Group sent to Xiucheng this time said softly.

What is surprising is that the manager sent by SoftBank Group this time turned out to be a beautiful girl in her twenties. Ms. Liu Jia, who graduated from the Beijing branch of the University of Mining and Technology this year, has since taken on the role of investment manager at SoftBank Group in China.

Even if she behaves mediocre and keeps her mouth shut. Zhou Shuo could also imagine that she must have an unusual background behind her, so that Sun Zhengyi could rest assured that such a position would be handed over to her. This also shows that Son has actually coveted the domestic market for a long time, otherwise how can he explain that he can pull out a professional investment team so quickly?

"There are a lot of outstanding people in China, and I am nothing." Zhou Shuo shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Xinke also has its own venture capital plan, and it will be a rival to SoftBank Group's Chinese investment company in the future." ”

Zhou Shuo smiled slightly, SoftBank Group is a good investment partner, and he does not have too many power requirements for the operation of Xinke Computer Company. It's just that the Entrepreneurship Service Center is required to provide strategic services for its venture capital, and from this point of view, Son is more like a traverser than Zhou Shuo.

But unfortunately, even if Zhou Shuo does not focus on the field of venture capital, he can be far ahead of Son's efficiency by virtue of his prescient advantage. It's just that in order not to stiffen the foundation of future cooperation between the two sides, we have to take care of this competitor to some extent, which can be regarded as a category of both cooperation and confrontation.

Liu Jia smiled slightly when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Principal Zhou can rest assured, after all, ST Computer Company also has shares in SoftBank Group, and we have no reason to compete with ourselves." The focus of SoftBank China's work will be on the imperial capital, and Xiucheng will do its best to cooperate with the actions of ST Computer. ”

Zhou Shuo listened to her words, and then he was relieved. At least for the time being, he doesn't want any discord in his relationship with SoftBank Group. Of course, the development of the software park in Japan is inseparable from SoftBank Group, a native of Japan.

The two talked for a while, and Liang Jinghui had already introduced the layout of Xinke Computer in the Entrepreneurship Service Center. Honami Suzuki, wearing a women's OL suit, walked to the stage in a graceful manner, coughed and continued in English: "Next, I would like to report on behalf of ST Computer Technology (Japan) Co., Ltd., through the strong support of the SoftBank Group, we have formed cooperative relations with many Japanese companies. Among them, Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company, Sakura Bank and Toyota Group have all decided to set up a data service center in Xiucheng for subcontracting centers for outsourcing business to China......"

For example, NTT, also known as Japan Telephone and Telegraph Corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, Japan's largest telecommunications service provider. The amount of data entry alone costs them hundreds of millions of dollars a year. With such a scale of business, ST Computer simply cannot swallow it by itself. As a giant company, NTT will not allow its business to be controlled by a single company. Sakura Bank and Toyota Group are the same, and it is impossible for all of their massive data business to be subcontracted by ST Computer Company.

The data service center, Chinese branch, service support, and R&D center of various large companies will be the main investment projects of the Japan Software Park for a period of time.

"Okada Software, Tadashi Software...... and a group of software companies, which can provide more than 20 million US dollars of software development, testing, maintenance and entry business every year, and this part will be subcontracted by ST Computer Company. At the same time, however, ST Computer must provide margin, credit endorsement and business oversight for transactions. ”

"That's a bit conservative, isn't it?" Liu Jia frowned, looked at Zhou Shuo and said, "According to the estimation of SoftBank Group, the business subcontracted through Xinke Computer this year should be at least more than 50 million US dollars. ”

As Son's carte blanche delegate, Liu Jia is not only the head of SoftBank Group China Investment, but also the majority shareholder of ST Computer. ST Computer's performance is also included in SoftBank (China)'s performance, and she certainly hopes that the more subcontracting business there is, the better.

The gap between the two sides in the business volume forecast even made Liu Jia wonder if Zhou Shuo had transferred his business in private? (To be continued......)
