The night of the 2nd.

Zhang Shuo held a special banquet to entertain Qiandu Gong Juren and his entourage, accompanied by Lu Kai, Luo Changan and others.

Although we were drinking, we soon started talking about work.

"Mr. Zhang, Qiandu is completely open to cooperation with Meiya. In addition to this transaction, we hope to strengthen cooperation with Meiya in other areas." Gong Juren came with a mission.

"For example?"

Zhang Shuo, on the other hand, had a lot of free time.

"For example, the local life services we mentioned before, and map navigation, I wonder if Maili mobile phones can be pre-installed with Qiandu Maps?" Gong Juren asked tentatively.

"Mr. Gong seems to be very confident in the Maili mobile phone?" Zhang Shuo was noncommittal.

"We are confident in the germination."

"But you also know that Qingcheng Group, owned by Germination, is the major shareholder of Haode Map."

"This is not a conflict, is it?" Gong Juren has certainly done his homework, "Qingcheng Group's shareholding ratio in Haode Map is not high, and Ahli is the real controlling shareholder."

"The relationship between Mei Ya and Ah Li is also good." Zhang Shuo said.

“In business, you can’t put your eggs in one basket, right?”

"yes."

Zhang Shuo smiled and nodded, "But the basket of Qiandu Map does not allow us to intervene."

"Uh, this..."

Gong Juren was speechless for a moment. Of course it was impossible for Qiandu Map to let Mo Ya buy a stake.

There's no way to talk about it.

It was a nice party, but it ended in embarrassment.

"boss Zhang?"

Lu Kai was a little worried.

"fine!"

Zhang Shuo was very calm, "I don't know what gave Qiandu the illusion that through this acquisition, we can get closer to each other. It's completely one code."

He himself didn't want to get too close to Qiandu.

Especially considering that in the future, when Qiandu discovers that acquiring 71 Assistant is not so cost-effective, even if the relationship is harmonious now, there will still be conflicts in the future.

Not necessary.

………

The next day.

Zhang Shuo went to Binhai University to take the last final exam of this semester.

After other graduate students finish their exams, they may have to be dragged to the laboratory by their instructors to do hard work. Zhang Shuo certainly doesn't have this worry. The end of the exams also means the start of the "winter vacation."

The issue is.

In addition to being a student, Zhang Shuo is also a migrant worker and has to go to work.

January 4th.

As soon as Zhang Shuo arrived at the company and his butt was still warm, Jiang Yue hurriedly walked in with a newspaper in his hand, "Mr. Zhang, take a look at this."

"Sprouting Group is valued at 100 billion, will Zhang Shuo become the new richest man in mainland China?"

Zhang Shuo glanced at the title and his brows twitched unconsciously, "Isn't this nonsense?"

"It's nonsense, but it's also well-founded." Jiang Yue frowned with a little worry.

The article used the valuation of Qingcheng Group at 16 billion some time ago and the recent value of 71 Assistant Motu Xiuxiu at 12 billion as reference factors to finalize the overall valuation of Sprout Group at 100 billion.

It does sound like that's what happened.

But the problem is that not only the valuation of Qingcheng Group is already on the high side, the selling price of 71 Assistant Motu Xiu Xiu is also at a high premium due to competition among the three giants.

Using this as a basis, doesn’t it mean that we are not talking nonsense?

Although Zhang Shuo has great confidence in Germinal Group, it is not so easy to reach the 100 billion mark.

What’s even more outrageous is that the article later used this as a basis, then calculated that Zhang Shuo personally holds 67% of the shares of Germination Group, and inferred that Zhang Shuo’s personal wealth is as high as 64.856 billion.

What is this concept?

If calculated according to the China Rich List released in September 2011, Zhang Shuo will surpass Qiandu CEO Li Hong in one fell swoop and become the new richest man in Mainland China with a net worth of US$10 billion.

Even if you put it in the entire Chinese circle, it can still be ranked in the top five.

It's really crazy.

In 2012, the weight of being the richest man was very important. Whether it was Lao Wang, the uncle, or anyone else, after becoming the richest man, he began to show his face frequently and became a big brother-level figure in the business circle.

How virtuous and capable is Zhang Shuo?

Not to mention that Sprout has only been established for a year and a half, and Zhang Shuo is so young. If he is really named the richest man, it will definitely be harmful and useless.

"Someone wants to flatter me and kill me. Can I sue?" Zhang Shuo was not carried away.

The richest man and all that are just gimmicks.

"You can sue, but at most you will get some compensation, which will make the other party famous, and at the same time make this matter a big deal." Jiang Yue obviously did not agree with the lawsuit.

This is the last resort.

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

"I suggest contacting major websites in advance. As long as this report is not spread on the Internet, the newspaper itself will not have much impact." Jiang Yue offered public relations advice.

"Okay, you can handle this matter yourself."

"clear!"

Jiang Yue naturally knew the seriousness, otherwise he wouldn't have come to report it early in the morning.

"The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop."

Although this report is exaggerated, it also reveals an indisputable fact, because the Sprout Group only has two shareholders, Zhang Shuo and Dream Fund, of which Zhang Shuo is the major shareholder holding 67% of the shares.

The result is.

Once the valuation of Germination exceeds 100 billion, Zhang Shuo's personal wealth will reach an exaggerated figure, surpassing the three Internet tycoons in one fell swoop and becoming the richest one.

Inevitably, you will be pushed to the forefront.

Even now, with the current operating income and business scale of the Sprout Group, it has easily entered the top 500 Chinese enterprises, and it is necessary to attract attention.

"You have to find a way to hide some of your strength, and don't be too sharp." Zhang Shuo pondered.

In the unique cultural atmosphere of China, people who stand out quickly die quickly. It does not mean that the sooner you become famous, the better. It is easy to cause pink eye to some people, and then lead to all kinds of troubles.

Some troubles may even be unexpected obstacles.

Naturally, it should be more low-key.

The problem is that the development of Germination is so rapid that even though Zhang Shuo has kept a low profile, he rarely accepts interviews with the media or makes any bold statements to the outside world.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He has even hid on the university campus.

That's it.

They were all still being targeted.

"Why not register an offshore company overseas and then transfer your personal shares to the overseas company? This will prevent you from being directly exposed to the media spotlight." Jiang Yue suggested.

This is not the first time Jiang Yue has proposed the establishment of an overseas offshore company. Lu Kai, financial department manager Han Mei and others have successively made similar suggestions to Zhang Shuo.

The benefits of using overseas offshore companies to control domestic companies are obvious.

The first is to enhance competitive advantage.

Many overseas listing cooperation and compliance tax planning are inseparable from offshore companies. With the help of the legal system and management independence of offshore companies, the company can bring more favorable space for development and enhance competitive advantages.

Second, the working capital is diverse.

If an offshore company controls a domestic company, the domestic company's capital pool must come from the holding company.

After an overseas offshore company is established, it can open bank accounts around the world to conduct international business for online banking transfer operations.

The third is to facilitate equity transfer.

During the company's listing and overseas cooperation, domestic companies can use offshore companies to hold holdings, and can also cooperate with other offshore companies to set up offshore structures to facilitate the equity transfer of the ultimate controller.

Fourth, it can establish an international brand.

After many domestic companies went public, they have used "return investment" or mergers and acquisitions and reorganizations to build and establish international brands in order to increase the international visibility of their products and open up the international market.

Fifth, enjoy the preferential tax system.

Places such as Xiangjiang have the characteristics of low taxes and low tax rates.

China also has special tax incentives for Xiangjiang. Domestic investors who register a company in Xiangjiang can enjoy relevant preferential foreign investment policies when connecting with mainland companies, which plays an important role in corporate tax planning.
