Monday, April 16th.

Zhang Shuo kept his promise and stayed in Shanghai for an extra day. Together with Lu Kai, the rotating president of the group, they attended the unveiling ceremony of the Mango Building.

In order to show its strong support for Sui Ya, the Magic City also arranged for officials to participate.

Under Zhang Shuo's instruction, after the unveiling ceremony, a brief press conference was held to officially announce the establishment of Mango Motors, which was also regarded as a declaration of budding entry into the electric vehicle industry.

A rare high profile.

Zhang Shuo also figured out that in China, you can be a low-key person, but you must do things with a high profile.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, Moya just launched a tender offer for Zhanxun Communications and announced its entry into the semiconductor industry in a high-profile manner. Why is it that it suddenly announced its entry into the electric vehicle track?"

The reporters who came also asked the most provocative questions.

"It's not sudden."

Zhang Shuo has long been familiar with it. "As early as April last year, Germination invested in Linde New Energy, a unicorn company engaged in the R&D and production of lithium batteries for electric vehicles. Fertile Land Research Institute, a subsidiary of Germination Group, also set up a specialized laboratory to engage in

Research on assisted driving has made good progress."

"That is to say, Sprout has actually been involved in the electric vehicle track for a long time?"

The reporter was also dumbfounded.

This information is disclosed for the first time.

"Yes."

"But isn't Sprout an Internet company?" Some reporters were still confused.

"No one has defined that Sprout is just an Internet company, right? It just so happens that we are doing pretty well in the fields of games, social networking, cloud computing, local life services, etc."

Zhang Shuo is a bit like Versailles.

"..."

The reporters present were also depressed. Not only was it good, it was simply unbelievable, okay?

"Mr. Ya has always attached great importance to the research of basic subjects. The purpose of the student aid plan proposed this time is mainly to make a contribution within our ability in the field of basic subjects."

Zhang Shuo changed the subject.

"Could it be that this is also related to Germination's entry into electric vehicles?" Reporters were confused.

"You can say that." Zhang Shuo smiled and nodded, "As we all know, the Internet industry does not need so many chemists, physicists and biologists."

"Ha ha!!!"

The crowd burst into good-natured laughter.

At this time, Zhang Shuo was already the focus of the audience, driving the entire conversation. He looked even more dazzling under the spotlight, yet so calm and composed.

A trace of obsession flashed in Dai Yutong's eyes, such a boss is so handsome.

"From the beginning of its establishment, Sprout has been based on using technology to change the world. It just happened that it started with the Internet, and ultimately ended up in industries such as mobile phones, semiconductors, and electric vehicles. To be precise, it is Manufacturing 2.0."

Zhang Shuo continued to talk.

"Whether it is the Internet or manufacturing, the ultimate goal of Germination is to master the real core technology, concentrate on research and development, make better products, and then use technology to change lives."

"Bah bang bang!!"

There was warm applause at the scene. Is it okay to go up to the top immediately?

Zhang Shuo's speech was also a disguised response to some people's doubts on the Internet that "Mr. Ya has lost its dream" and officially demonstrated Ming Ya's ambitions in technology research and development.

"So, Mei Ya has high expectations for Mango Cars?" Some reporters still found trouble.

The atmosphere at the scene was stagnant.

Yes, no matter how exciting Zhang Shuo's speech was and how spectacular the prospects he described, in the final analysis, the current Mango Car is just an empty frame.

To put it bluntly, it is a bit too ambitious.

"certainly!"

Zhang Shuo’s answer was categorical, “Either we don’t do it, or we strive to be the first in the industry. In order to achieve this goal, there is no upper limit on the investment in the electric vehicle industry, and it will at least start at tens of billions.”

"hiss!!!"

Everyone gasped again.

"Mr. Zhang, can the budding capital chain support Mango Auto's business expansion?"

Some reporters raised questions.

Yes, that’s right, Sprout is indeed very profitable. At the beginning of the year, it raised tens of billions of funds from Qiandu, and not long ago it raised tens of billions of funds from Ali. The monthly profit of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment also exceeded one billion.

But no matter how rich you are, you can't bear such trouble.

In the semiconductor industry alone, even if you invest 10 billion, you won't hear a sound. If you want to grow bigger and stronger, it is conservatively estimated that it will start with an investment of 100 billion.

The same is true for the electric vehicle industry.

Although the concept of electric vehicles has not yet become widely popular, we know from the comparison with foreign Tesla that it was definitely losing money and making money in the past few years.

otherwise.

Tesla will not go public for financing early.

"Don't worry about this. In the second half of this year, Maili Mobile will release its first flagship mobile phone Maili X1, which will bring new prospects and profit growth points to Germination."

Zhang Shuo took the opportunity to advertise Maili X1.

As the Maili X1 launch conference approaches, related marketing has also been quietly launched.

Zhang Shuo just fired the first shot.

"Mai Li X1? Can you introduce it in detail? Mr. Zhang seems very confident?"

Some of the journalists were well-educated and cooperated with the questions.

"Of course." Zhang Shuo also smiled and took over the conversation, "In Maili X1, Germination has invested nearly 30 billion in funds. The research and development results transformed by these expenditures will be well displayed on Maili X1."

"The most important thing is that just like the mobile games owned by Weixin and Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, Moya is always accustomed to originality, and the design of Maili X1 is equally amazing and will be a disruptive product."

Zhang Shuo also brags and doesn't think it's a big deal.

No matter how the outside world evaluates it, first build momentum and whet the appetite of users.

At the end of the press conference, Zhang Shuo said with a smile: "If we remain true to our original aspiration, we will need a lot of scientists and R&D personnel. Here, I would also like to take this opportunity to speak to college students and hope that you will join us in the future, so that I can be reasonable."

I will exploit you and earn back the scholarships that were given out."

"Hahaha!!!"

The reporter was also amused by Zhang Shuo.

………

That night, Zhang Shuo acted as the host and invited the management of Modu Germination Department to dinner. At the same time, he introduced Tang Xiang, the newly appointed general manager of Mango Auto, to everyone.

From now on, Tang Xiang will be the big brother of the sprouting magic city branch and will worship the dock.

In the budding rank system, Tang Xiang was previously the vice president of Qinghe Technology and general manager of Automotive Network, with a rank of M5. After he was transferred to the general manager of Mango Auto, he was ranked M6.

It is a normal promotion.

In Magic City, there are still many budding forces, with Jingwei Studio Group, Qingcheng Magic City Company, Maili (Magic City) R&D Center, Qingyun (Magic City) Data Center, etc. as the backbone.

In the future, Zhanxun Communications will be added as a major force, followed by Mango Auto.

It is not surprising that the Magic City attaches such great importance to Meiya. After obtaining Zhang Shuo's commitment, the final obstacle to Meiya's acquisition of Zhanxun Communications was finally eliminated.

The acquisition contract will be formally signed soon.

………

On Tuesday, Zhang Shuo returned to Binhai City first and rested for a long time before returning to the company to work.

There are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

When Zhang Shuo left the headquarters, Lu Kai went to the Magic City, and Jiang Yue went to the capital, only Vice President Gu Mingzhang was in charge of the group headquarters, assuming the responsibilities of interim president.

And Gu Mingzhang himself was involved in the affairs of the Maili Group. It was said that he lived in the company for several days.

It’s also hard enough.

This also made Zhang Shuo realize that as the business scope continues to expand, it is necessary for the group to add a full-time vice president, otherwise he will be too busy if he has to go out for something.

The new vice president should preferably be in charge of the group's Internet business.

Jiang Yue is in charge of administration, Lu Kai is in charge of investment and finance, and the new full-time vice president forms a new troika, forming a new stabilizer to protect the group.

It is not easy to find such a vice president who can sprout the current rank.

No matter what, you have to be a big shot in the industry.

As for within the group, Zhao Xiaohu, Cao Yanhua, and Du Ruiwen each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they are not qualified for the position of vice president.

You have to look for it from outside.

With his mind at ease, Zhang Shuo took the time to deal with the squeezed group affairs. While he was on a business trip, the giant ship of Germination did not stop, and there were many new trends.
