Sprinkle coins every day

"If you want to open up the situation, after the Spring Festival, you have to work hard."

Of course Zhang Shuo will not sit still.

If Weixin can always maintain an advantage in the competition with Tenda, and the number of users breaks through the 1 million mark, then maybe it can really pry open a gap in the inherent structure of the Internet.

And wait.

After this encounter, Zhang Shuo's intention to participate in the WALL-I Intelligent Manufacturing cooperation signing ceremony suddenly faded, and he decided to arrange for Jiang Yue to participate.

I won't go by myself.

Because it's useless to go there, those giants in the field of robotics may not really think highly of him.

Too lazy to pretend to be a snake.

Let's wait until Wall-E is short of funds, Germination will inject capital again, and after obtaining the controlling stake in Wall-E, let's realize his ambition.

Just thinking about Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Zhang, the remote video call with Pretty Country has been debugged."

"Let's go!"

Zhang Shuo got up and walked towards the small conference room.

A projector has been set up in the conference room, and the remote video software is used to connect to the beautiful country.

Mainly Wu Sheyuan.

"Let's start right away."

Zhang Shuo picked up his phone and glanced at the time.

It is 10 am now, and it is already 7 pm in the beautiful country.

The time was just right.

The discussion between the two parties was also about the acquisition of Raven Studios in Silicon Valley.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, the current situation is like this."

Wu Sheyuan began to report some specific situations he learned after arriving in Silicon Valley.

"Ruiwen Studio focuses on research in the field of cloud computing. Including the person in charge, Du Ruiwen, there are a total of 82 researchers, more than half of whom are postgraduates."

In terms of scale, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized studio at most.

"Together with the headhunter, I hired a professional third-party survey and evaluation agency in the local area to conduct a professional evaluation of the research results of Raven Studio, and the overall rating is B+."

In other words.

Ruiwen Studio does have solid products, and has produced some results. It is not the kind of fraudulent company that relies on telling stories to fool investors into investing money.

"What about the funding situation and the equity structure?" Zhang Shuo asked.

If possible, he certainly hopes to fully acquire Raven Studio.

"In addition to Du Ruiwen, the director of the studio, there is also a partner of Beautiful Country. In addition, Ruiwen Studio has accepted a round of angel investment, and the funds are almost exhausted."

"In terms of equity structure, Du Ruiwen personally holds 42% of the shares, another partner holds 34% of the shares, and angel investment institutions hold 24% of the shares, and the shares are relatively concentrated."

"However, due to the lack of funds, Raven Studio is ready to start the B round of financing."

Wu Sheyuan's due diligence is still very competent.

"So, is the other party willing to accept the acquisition of Germination? How much is the offer?" Zhang Shuo continued to ask.

"It's stuck here now, and the situation is a bit complicated."

"Tell me."

Zhang Shuo is also mentally prepared, otherwise, one email will be done, and there is no need to hold a video conference.

"First of all, Du Ruiwen himself is willing to accept the acquisition of Germina. Moreover, after repeated communication with him, I have basically dispelled his worries and expressed his willingness to return to China to preside over the work of Qingyun Data."

Wu Sheyuan is also very smart, first announce the good news, and then report the worry.

"The problem lies with another partner, Mike. No matter how much I persuade him, the other party is indifferent. He has no desire to work in China and just wants to stay in Silicon Valley."

The current Huaxia Internet circle is indeed very limited in attracting foreign talents.

"That's easy."

Zhang Shuo gave a solution on the spot, "Du Ruiwen can lead a team back to China to host Qingyun Data. Those who are unwilling to return to China can stay in Silicon Valley. Mike will lead the Ruiwen Studio and continue to maintain the operation of the Ruiwen Studio in Silicon Valley." .Blooming at both ends, don’t delay the two.”

It's beautiful to think about using people from a beautiful country to do research and development.

"It's okay." Wu Sheyuan's dignified expression did not fully stretch out. "Now there is still the most troublesome problem, which is the problem of facing the acquisition review. From what I have learned, it may be difficult for the beautiful country to Allow a Chinese company to acquire a high-tech company in Silicon Valley."

In particular, Germination Holdings is registered in China, and its bloodline is 100% pure.

This made the beautiful country even more afraid.

"In addition to the acquisition review, we also have to pass the angel investor's hurdle." Wu Sheyuan added.

The other party will definitely take the opportunity to kill Mengya severely.

"So, have you thought about how to deal with it?" Zhang Shuo asked.

As an industry leader, Wu Sheyuan must have had some ideas and even countermeasures in advance since he took the initiative to apply for a video conference.

otherwise.

Wu Sheyuan would not be so stupid as to simply leave the problem to Zhang Shuo, the big boss.

Then why do you want him to go to the beautiful country?

Are you on vacation? !

Chapter 128 Overseas Business Department

"All I can think of is to find a way to bypass the censorship of the beautiful country."

Wu Sheyuan really had an idea.

"How to do it?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"The best way, of course, is to use an agent to register a company that complies with local regulations in Silicon Valley, and then use this intermediary company to complete the acquisition of Raven Studio."

"However, if you want to share the research results of Ruiwen Studio with Qingyun Data in China, it still involves extremely complicated legal issues."

"Moreover, it is difficult to find a suitable and trustworthy agent in a short period of time."

"So I thought of a compromise."

"It is to register a company in Xiangjiang, and then use the channel between Xiangjiang and Beautiful Country to complete the acquisition of Ruiwen Studio. The resistance encountered will definitely be much smaller than that of Mengya's direct acquisition."

"After the acquisition is completed, let this shell company in Xiangjiang sign a technical service agreement and a patent licensing agreement with Qingyun Data. With some work, we can basically bypass the censorship of the beautiful country."

After all, Xiangjiang is an international financial center.

To a certain extent, it does assume the role of an intermediate checkpoint for domestic and foreign capital and technology circulation.

"can."

Xiangjiang is close to Binhai City, Zhang Shuo is still acceptable.

"The registration of the company must be started as soon as possible." Wu Sheyuan suggested.

He must not be able to make it to the company's annual meeting. He is just hoping to complete the acquisition of Ruiwen Studio before the Spring Festival, so that he can go home and reunite with his family.

"If you want to be quick, you can directly acquire a shell company in Xiangjiang." Jiang Yue suggested.

"Do you have the resources for this?"

Zhang Shuo knew that many Binhai locals had inextricable relationships with Xiangjiang.

Even many relatives have settled in Xiangjiang.

"should be no problem."

Jiang Yue dared to raise it at this time, and he must be sure.

"Then I will give you full authority over this matter." Zhang Shuo also trusted Jiang Yue, paused, and said with a smile: "After being reminded by Mr. Wu, I suddenly had an idea, you two give it to the staff."

"what idea?"

Wu Sheyuan may not know, but Jiang Yue has long been used to Zhang Shuo's unconstrained style.

"Look, besides Qingyun Data, other subsidiaries of Sprout will definitely be involved in overseas business in the future."

"Don't mention the far, just talk about the near."

"First of all, it is Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment. After breaking up with Tenda, someone should be responsible for the development of overseas markets? The new game of Jingwei Studio is about to be released, and the next step is to find overseas agents."

"If there is Weixin, an international version will be launched in the near future, and overseas operations will also be required."

"The other is the recruitment of overseas R&D personnel, and even the establishment of R&D bases overseas, as well as the collection of overseas business information, patent search and so on."

"In the future, if it involves manufacturing, there may even be business such as procurement of raw materials and accessories."

"You said, can all the overseas business of these subsidiaries be packaged and handed over to a certain department of the holding company, for example, the overseas business department?"

"Instead of letting the subsidiaries below fight alone, it's better to form a joint force and use it in one place."

Zhang Shuo confessed his thoughts.

Of course, this is not a temporary idea, but he has been thinking about the company's development strategy for a long time, which may have been just a vague idea before.

Reminded by Wu Sheyuan, her thoughts gradually became clear.

"I think so."

Jiang Yue was a little bit self-deprecating. Compared with Zhang Shuo, she was indeed more suitable to be an executor.

"I also think it's feasible." Wu Sheyuan was also full of admiration, "However, we just need to find an excellent overseas business manager."

If you want to meet Zhang Shuo's vision for the overseas business department, the person in charge is not easy.

First of all, you must be proficient in overseas business.

On the resume, at least one must have the experience of working in a multinational company.

Secondly, they must be proficient in the policies of major overseas markets, have certain market development capabilities, and even have certain personal connections.

Then there is the need for strong organizational management and coordination skills.

If it was Wu Sheyuan, he thought he was not qualified for this position.

"Isn't it the responsibility of you, the human resources director, to find the person in charge?" Zhang Shuo laughed.

Again.

Professional things should be done by professional people.

As the big boss, Zhang Shuo is only responsible for proposing ideas and grasping the general direction.

"All right!"

Wu Sheyuan smiled wryly, knowing that she couldn't escape.

"Don't worry, let's find out slowly. Anyway, the preparations for the establishment of the overseas business department are not in a hurry at this time. We will finalize the Xiangjiang company a year ago and complete the acquisition of the Ruiwen studio."

Zhang Shuo also didn't want to put too much pressure on Wu Sheyuan.

"Okay, then I will continue to report." Wu Sheyuan is also very dedicated, "When I talked with Du Ruiwen before, the intended purchase price was 2500 million US dollars. But I estimate that the angel investors will definitely increase the price."

"It's impossible to be slaughtered. As long as the total purchase price does not exceed 3000 million U.S. dollars, you can sign directly on my behalf."

Zhang Shuo gave Wu Sheyuan full authorization.

"Then I have a plan."

Wu Sheyuan was smiling, but her heart was not at ease.

It is one thing for Zhang Shuo to give him a quota.

What kind of purchase price can be discussed is another matter.

If it is finally purchased at a premium of 3000 million US dollars, even if Zhang Shuo will not say anything, other people in the company may secretly question his ability.

do not forget.

Just before that, Wu Sheyuan offended the following subsidiaries because of the year-end bonus.

Many people are still waiting to see his jokes.
