Not long after Zhang Shuo returned to the office, rotating president Lu Qi came to visit.

"Chairman, at the board meeting held by Qingcheng Group last week, a director raised the issue of Qingcheng Group's listing, hoping to determine a time point to promote Qingcheng Group's listing," Lu Qi reported.

"What did you think about it?" Zhang Shuo asked without answering.

"My idea is to wait until the bike-sharing and taxi-hailing business stabilizes before considering the issue of going public. It's a little early to go public now," Lu Qi said.

Qingcheng Group, which has just completed financing, is not short of funds.

"Then do what you want."

After Qingcheng Group has experienced three rounds of financing, subsequent listing has become an unavoidable topic.

It doesn't even depend on Zhang Shuo's personal will.

In particular, the Sprout Group recently took out part of the Qingcheng Group's equity and implemented an employee stock ownership plan. Even those within the Sprout Group support the Qingcheng Group's listing.

"People's support" is irreversible.

"I agree that when conditions are ripe, we should promote the listing of Qingcheng Group, but one thing is that the listing location cannot be overseas, either Xiangjiang, Magic City or Binhai City."

Not only because Zhang Shuo has a prejudice against beautiful countries.

The most important thing is that Qingcheng Group, as a local life service company, holds a massive amount of basic data and must not open it to the regulatory authorities of the United States.

Especially if there is any subsequent wrangling, it would be better to avoid the beautiful stock market directly.

"OK."

With Xiangjiang as the base, Lu Qi had no objection.

Especially as the Xiangjiang stock market shows signs of interconnection with Magic City and Binhai City, listing in Xiangjiang is indeed a very good choice for Chinese companies.

It can not only complete listing financing at the minimum cost, but also benefit ordinary Chinese investors.

Don't let the rich water flow to outsiders' fields.

"Another point is to promote the listing of Qingcheng Group, but the corporate culture, values ​​and business strategies of Qingcheng Group cannot be significantly adjusted to cater for the listing."

Zhang Shuo was worried that in order to go public, Qingcheng Group also launched a subsidy war.

This puts the cart before the horse.

"clear!"

Lu Qi is also very clear about the expectations, or expectations, that the big boss has for Qing Cheng.

It is no exaggeration to say that the values ​​​​and business philosophy of Qingcheng Group were shaped by Zhang Shuo and bear Zhang Shuo’s very distinct personal imprint.

………

Thursday, September 12th.

In the morning of that day, in order to avoid the Maili

It is also the last part in the Honkai Impact Trilogy by Mihayou Studio.

Of course, the quality of "Honkai Impact 3" cannot be said, but for players with increasingly demanding appetites, "Honkai Impact 3" is still not a hit mobile game.

Not to mention phenomenal.

For four or five months, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has not produced an eye-catching mobile game, which inevitably makes the outside world question that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment seems to be declining in the field of originality.

The only thing that can redeem him is the demo animation of "Black Myth".

But in fact, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is holding back big moves behind the scenes. It plans to launch "Clash Royale" next month and "King of Pesticide" in December, both of which are first-class phenomenal mobile games.

By then, it is bound to ignite the enthusiasm of players around the world again.

………

The time will soon come to Friday, September 13th.

The much-anticipated MaiLi X2 will be unveiled tonight, proving to the world whether the birth of the MaiLi X1 was a momentary luck or a true manifestation of strength.

This battle is directly related to whether Maili Mobile Phone can truly establish its brand heritage.

Everyone is waiting to see.

For the birth of MaiLi X1, MaiLi Group invested more than 30 billion in just over a year and employed more than 9,000 R&D personnel.

As for Maili X2, Maili Group’s monthly research and development expenditure alone exceeds 1.5 billion.

The number of R&D personnel has also exceeded 20,000.

If the research and development of Maili X1 is mainly about digesting patented technology from Nokia, then the research and development of Maili X2 is a more in-depth exploration and integration of technology.

From the inside out, from hardware to software, it has been completely re-polished.

How demanding is Maili Group's pursuit of technical details? From the feedback from Maili Group's suppliers, it can be seen that as small as a structural part, there are two pages of technical indicators.

They will torture the suppliers crazy.

The good thing is that as long as it can accept orders from Maili Group, this supplier will be reborn and will be confident in accepting orders from any other mobile phone manufacturer.

Including overseas giants such as Pingguo and Sanxing.

The existence of Maili Group has indeed promoted the overall upgrade of China's smartphone industry chain, and has personally cultivated no less than ten high-quality agents that are world-renowned.

Tell the truth.

Two years ago, Zhang Shuo based his memory on the more than 20 key domestic suppliers identified by the Maili Group. In terms of scale, R&D level, and technology, there was a gap between them and the original time and space.

The standards of many suppliers are far from the standards of some Korean and Japanese manufacturers.

Including Whale Oriental who made the screen.

This is also the reason why friendly companies such as Xiaomi and OV prefer overseas suppliers.

It was the dual drive of the demand for mobile phones from Germination Smartphone Investment Fund and Maili, which provided both funds and orders, that led to the transformation and upgrading of technology by these suppliers.

It has raised the level of the entire supply chain to a higher level.

In addition to supporting suppliers, in the past year, in the field of core components, including mobile phone baseband chips, processors, video decoders, image processors, cameras, etc., Maili Group has personally ended up.

And they don't hesitate to invest a lot of money.

After making heavy bets, not only star products such as the Zhulong Z1 chip were born, but Maili X2 has made great progress in video price, image processing, photography and other aspects.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And they have mastered their own secrets, so they will not be stuck by overseas manufacturers.

Due to the failure of Pingguo's autumn launch, the launch of Maili X2 has naturally attracted attention from all parties, and Maili Group will also launch an unprecedented global live broadcast.

The location is still chosen at the Binhai International Convention Center.

The invited guests are still media reporters, app developers, digital product testing experts, budding fans and other groups, but the composition of each group has undergone earth-shaking changes from last year.

Among the media representatives, in addition to local Chinese media, there are as many as 36 overseas media.

Others, such as app developers, digital experts, budding fans, etc., also come from all over the world. In one sentence, Maili’s press conference will be more international.

It has truly attracted global attention.

Finally, there are some business tycoons specially invited by the Sprout Group. In addition to the familiar Mr. Ren, the second master, and the third master, there are also Gaotong President Ke Meng and Xiaomi founder Rebus who actively applied to participate.

As well as Ping Guo, President of Greater China Region, President of Three Star China Region, etc.

Many of these people were obviously drunkards who did not care about drinking, but adhering to the concept of "everyone is a guest", Moya treated them all equally and gave them warm hospitality.

The International Convention Center tonight is a gathering of stars.

With Zhang Shuo appearing in the spotlight, Maili Group's autumn conference officially began. "When Maili X1 was released last year, the theme was - Maili X1, redefining smartphones."

"It sounds like bragging, but in fact, we did it."

"Bah bang bang!"

As soon as Zhang Shuo finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.

As if paying tribute to the grain of wheat.

Because it is true that the keyword of Mai Li was once considered arrogant by the outside world.

But the fact is that in just one year, metal casings, fingerprint unlocking, voice assistants, etc. have all become standard features of flagship smartphones.

Without these configurations, it would be too embarrassed to even call itself high-end.

This is the change that Maili X1 has brought to the smartphone industry. In a sense, it has indeed redefined smartphones and become an indelible page in the history of mobile phone development.

"So, what about Maili X2? Will it fall into mediocrity or continue to be amazing?"

As Zhang Shuo asked, the PPT on the back showed a comparison picture. On the left was MaiLi X1 and on the right was MaiLi X2. From the appearance, there seemed to be no major changes.

It just became a little thinner.

Then the camera changes to dual-camera mode, eliminating the headphone excuse.

There is innovation, but it really can’t be called amazing.

In the audience, Pingguo, President of Greater China Region and President of Three-Star China Region, already had a smile on his lips.

"That's it?"

Seeing that Mai Li X2 was ordinary, they were relieved.
