Chapter 296 Socializing, socializing, socializing...(1/3)
January 19, the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Thursday.
"Mr. Zhang, Scarlet Capital seems to have given in." Lu Kai was in a happy mood.
Sprout's operation against Scarlet Capital went smoothly as expected. Both Tengda and Tubatu showed unusual cooperation.
Gave Scarlet Capital a double critical hit.
"This is not enough." Zhang Shuo shook his head, "If there is a chance, we must continue to beat Scarlet Capital and give it a few more sticks, otherwise they will not remember it."
Capital is like dogtail grass. Wild fire cannot burn it out, but it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
"There will be many opportunities in the next year. Scarlet Capital's investment focus is on the Internet, medicine and other industries. It is on the same track as Buya Investment, and there are many opportunities to meet." Lu Kai is also eager to give it a try.
"That's the truth."
Zhang Shuo was a little confused and asked: "Have you investigated? Scarlet Capital previously claimed to set up a tens of billions venture capital fund to bet on the smartphone industry chain. How much money actually was invested?"
Judging from the current situation, the so-called tens of billions of funds seem to be quite sufficient.
"That's just a gimmick." Lu Kai was very disdainful, "I have actually calculated that in the past three to five months, the total investment amount of Scarlet Capital in the smartphone industry was less than 200 million."
Not even one-third of the Particle Fund.
"So, Scarlet Capital was trying to scare us with a high profile before?" Zhang Shuo was speechless.
"This is a common trick played by venture capital investors."
Lu Kai didn't think it was a big deal. Under his leadership, didn't the Particle Fund wipe out Scarlet Capital? Scarlet Capital didn't get any advantage at all.
so.
Professional things must be done by professional people.
"I will start my vacation tomorrow. The company will have to work hard for you to watch." After the conversation, Zhang Shuo stretched out. The Chinese New Year will be in a few days, and it is really unreasonable not to return to Jiangcheng.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
As the rotating president, Lu Kai is bound to be on duty during the Spring Festival.
The worst thing is actually the Weixin team. They have marketing activities every Spring Festival and have to arrange people on duty every year.
How sad!
………
The next day, Zhang Shuo set off to return to his hometown in Jiangcheng.
As soon as I got off the plane, I saw Lao Zhang waiting at the exit, with three people in professional attire standing next to him. The leader was a professional woman in her early thirties, with short ear-length hair, and she looked very capable.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am Jiang Shan, manager of the Jiangchuan branch of the group."
After group operations director Zhao Mingchuan reorganized the group's regional companies, he established provincial branches in various provinces. Jiang Shan is the person in charge of the Jiangchuan provincial branch in central China of the Sprout Group.
It can be seen that Jiang Shan is very excited.
Under normal circumstances, for a manager at her level, let alone meeting Zhang Shuo, a big boss, she would be lucky if her name could appear in the documents Zhang Shuo handles daily.
As a native of Jiangcheng.
As early as last month, Jiang Shan was thinking hard about how to receive Zhang Shuo, the big boss.
The first thing was to pick him up at the airport. He tried his best to get Zhang Shuo's public itinerary from the group president's office, ensuring that he could meet Zhang Shuo as soon as possible.
Otherwise everything is in vain.
Then I thought about what kind of service to provide, which would not be annoying to Zhang Shuo but was really needed. In fact, it was just a matter of choosing the right level and making it just right.
Jiang Shan thought that since Zhang Shuo was returning to Jiangcheng by plane, he would definitely need a car and driver.
I'm ready to be a driver.
"Hello!"
Zhang Shuo smiled and shook hands with Jiang Shan, but this was the first time the two met.
Fortunately, before coming back, the President's Office had sorted out the Jiangchuan branch's information files in advance, so Zhang Shuo took the time to glance at them and get a general impression.
It’s not like I don’t even know people.
Of course he didn't know how much homework the subordinate in front of him had done in private for this simple meeting.
Once a person stands high, the people below him will think of ways to please and cater to him in various ways, but they will do it in a flawless way, as if it is a matter of course.
And once you get used to this kind of pandering, you will unknowingly become separated from the masses.
Then it floated away!
"Dad, didn't I say you don't need to pick me up at the airport? Why are you here again?" Zhang Shuo looked at Lao Zhang.
"Well."
Zhang Zhandong's expression was a little unnatural, "The leaders of Jiangcheng have also come to the airport and are in the VIP room."
"..."
Zhang Shuo was speechless for a moment. Is that what happened?
Before he could figure out how to deal with it, a group of people came from a distance, led by a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing. Lao Zhang introduced in a low voice: "This is Mr. Xu Zhe from the city government, who is in charge of attracting investment.
."
Okay!
A chief officer was dispatched as soon as he came up, and his standards were quite high.
Although Jiangcheng is not as good as Binhai City and is not a sub-provincial city, it is still the capital of Jiangchuan Province, and the status of the city chief is still very high.
There was no other way, Zhang Shuo could only take the initiative to greet him.
"Hello Xu**, why bother to come in person? This standard is too high." Zhang Shuo joked to himself.
"It should, it should."
Xu Zhe smiled broadly, "Mr. Zhang is young and promising, and he is the pride of us Jiangcheng people."
"Xu** is a prize."
Although Zhang Shuo was helpless, he could only deal with it with pleasantries.
"Well, what's going on? It's just dinner time. Let's have a casual meal together?" Xu Zhe took advantage of the situation and sent out the invitation.
"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"
Although this dinner was probably the Hongmen Banquet, Zhang Shuo couldn't refuse.
Don't say anything else.
Xu Zhe can be said to be Lao Zhang's immediate boss, so he must be given some face.
"Okay, okay, let's go together then!"
Seeing that Zhang Shuo did not refuse, Xu Zhe was even more happy and even specially invited Lao Zhang to ride in his car.
Zhang Shuo took the car arranged by Jiang Shan.
"Mr. Zhang, here are some Jiangcheng information I collected. Take a look."
Jiang Shan sat in the back row with Zhang Shuo, exuding a light and just right fragrance.
"I'm determined."
Zhang Shuo took the information and quickly flipped through it.
Although he was born and raised in Jiangcheng, Zhang Shuo in the original time and space, as a commoner, saw only food, rice, oil and salt in Jiangcheng, and his vision was nothing more than home, school, and Internet cafes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I am actually very unfamiliar with Jiangcheng.
"Has Jiangcheng arranged for someone to contact the branch before I come back?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"Yes." Jiang Shan had obviously done her homework, "Jiangcheng wants the group to invest in building a large data center in Jiangcheng High-tech Zone."
"This is impossible."
Zhang Shuo shook his head, "The group has no plans in this regard for the time being."
The main business of Sprout Group is still the Internet sector, and its involvement in manufacturing is not deep enough, which means that Sprout Group’s motivation for foreign investment is not that strong.
Basically it is an extension of the Internet business, or setting up a laboratory or something like that.
The only thing that can stimulate local investment is the construction of data centers, but this has already been planned in detail and cannot be changed at will.
"Um."
Jiang Shan was naturally not qualified to comment, so she mentioned another matter by the way, "Mr. Zhang, your alma mater, Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School, has also contacted the branch. I hope you can take the time to visit your alma mater."
"Isn't it already winter vacation? Let's talk about it." Zhang Shuo had a headache.
It’s true that people are more afraid of being famous than pigs are afraid of being strong.
After the name of the richest man spread, anyone who could have anything to do with him came looking for him.
"Also, the Jiangchuan Provincial Entrepreneurs Association will hold a New Year tea party in Jiangcheng the day after tomorrow. I would like to invite you to participate. I wonder if you have time?" Jiang Shan continued to report.
"You can participate, you can arrange it."
To be continued...
