Chapter 325 Configuration
The high-level structure of Shencheng Carbon Silicon Data Company has been finalized.

Zhong Zhiling learned the news from his wife while he was at work, and later received a call from his senior, officially confirming the job transfer. He will be moving from the listed company Bai Xiaosheng to Carbon Silicon Data, a company focused on mobile Internet.

It is said to be a transfer, but in fact... Bai Xiaosheng and Carbon Silicon Data are two companies that have nothing to do with each other at all, they are just senior brothers behind the scenes.

"Zhi Ling, I still think we need you more here," Yu Xing said at the end of the call, "and I also think there is a brighter future here."

Zhong Zhiling had to make a decision despite his hesitation in the face of this situation.

"Brother Xing, OK, I'll listen to you, but who will take over Bai Xiaosheng's job?"

Even if he was leaving, he hoped that Bai Xiaosheng's work would not be affected.

"Let's just say Lei Weiming." The person mentioned by Yu Xing is also a very capable warrior, who also made contributions to Bai Xiaosheng's recruitment market. Later, he was transferred to the WeChat project and chose to return to Bai Xiaosheng after it was sold to Alibaba.

Lei Weiming had intended to take over because Liu Hao was facing a non-compete agreement, but he felt a little bad that he failed in the end. However, there is obviously still room for market development after Bai Xiaosheng's successful listing, so there will naturally be no big problem in replacing Zhong Zhiling.

Seeing that his senior brother had a comprehensive idea, Zhong Zhiling thanked him for the transfer and ended the call.

That night, he returned home and saw his wife, Lv Haiying, feeling rather helpless: "I'll ask Brother Xing, why did you make a special trip over there? Whether it's Bai Xiaosheng or Carbon Silicon Data, they can't compare to your body."

After hearing this, Lv Haiying smiled and said, "I thought you were going to give a speech as soon as you came back."

"The prospects for mobile Internet are indeed huge, but I don't have a clear understanding of Carbon Silicon Data Company and I am not familiar enough with this field." Zhong Zhiling still sighed, "It was too sudden. At least I should be mentally prepared."

"Ge Zhijie, who went to Alibaba before, was the technical director on the fourth floor. He is coming back from Alibaba and will bring people back with him. He is very capable." Lv Haiying talked about the latest news she learned on this trip. "Zhai Yifei and Ge Zhijie both came from large companies. Their abilities have been proven, and their teams are expanding quickly. This is the first reason. The Ad Buster software has more than two million users in two weeks, proving that Carbon Silicon Data's exploration is paying off. This is the second reason. As for the third reason..."

Lu Haiying also couldn't see clearly how Carbon Silicon Data Company was operating, but she had seen that the "fun" activity that Zhai Yifei had led people to do on the fourth floor had not yielded good results. And with the introduction of the software matrix, at least the effect of traffic conversion had changed.

This is trying, this is groping.

Zhong Zhiling understood what his wife meant, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "What about the third one?"

Lu Haiying smiled and said, "The third reason is that I believe in my senior brother."

Zhong Zhiling remained silent, and of course he believed it too.

He stood up and added some water to his wife's teacup. Thinking back to her special trip today, he said, "I believe in Brother Xing. You don't have to be in such a hurry on this trip."

"You have your way of doing things, and I have mine." Lu Haiying said disapprovingly, "Of course I know that if I call my senior brother, he will talk to me, but I am willing to do my best with sincerity, it's that simple."

Zhong Zhiling hesitated to speak, but smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you are Mr. Lu, OK, someone has been arranged to take over Bai Xiaosheng's job, we all have to go to Lingang, why should my wife teach me?"

Lingang is remote, so I have to move house for the convenience of work.

Lu Haiying said "hmm", and after thinking for a long time, she said, "Zhi Ling, I will give you six words."

Zhong Zhiling listened attentively.

Lu Haiying said seriously: "Don't be ungrateful."

Zhong Zhiling was stunned: "Ah? Huh?"

"Don't think that Bai Xiaosheng is a listed company, and don't look down on Carbon Silicon Data. Don't think that you, as a senior vice president of a listed company, are condescending. You said yourself that you are not that familiar with that field." Lu Haiying reminded, "Brother, you are not indispensable. To be honest, I think if it weren't for my trip, even if you expressed interest after considering it yourself, Carbon Silicon Data might not choose you. I don't care what you thought before or whether you were reluctant. Since you are going, you should devote yourself to it."

Zhong Zhiling smiled and saluted: "Yes, I will definitely let my wife and children rest assured!"

Lv Haiying smiled, shook her head and sighed, "What a shame, if it was earlier or later, I would have volunteered for this trip myself."

Zhong Zhiling quickly peeled an orange and said flatteringly, “Yes, yes, my lady, thank you for your concern. Yes, you are more optimistic than I thought.”

Lv Haiying took the orange as a matter of course and said thoughtfully, "The mobile Internet is quite chaotic right now. Whether the software matrix works or not, at least it is a very clear strategy in the chaos. Baidu is not making progress, Alibaba is fighting on two fronts, and Penguin is in a difficult battle. In the chaos under the three giants, the word "clear" is a great advantage, right?"

Zhong Zhiling nodded: "Besides, the advantages are not just this. I will also go to Lingang tomorrow to have someone find a house first, and then see how Brother Xing arranges it."

He chatted with Jiangong's wife for a while, then turned around and picked up the phone to arrange Bai Xiaosheng's final handover.

The next morning, Zhong Zhiling rushed to Lingang and first asked people from Carbon Silicon Group to help him rent a suitable house. Then he went to meet Zhai Yifei to familiarize himself with the related work.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, he met his senior brother.

However, it was not only Yu Xing, there were also investors who came along for the inspection.

"This is Zhong Zhiling, the CEO of Carbon Silicon Data. He has also worked with me on several projects." Yu Xing saw Zhong Zhiling and pulled him into the team. He introduced him to Cai Haoyu, the deputy general manager of Zhejiang Industrial Investment, who came to inspect the company. "He is also my junior. We worked together to get Bai Xiaosheng listed. He is very confident coming over there this time."

Cai Haoyu nodded at Zhong Zhiling, shook his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong, I am Cai Haoyu, the deputy general manager of Zhejiang Industrial Investment. This time, you have to lead us to make a fortune."

Zhong Zhiling shook hands politely, adjusted his position, and soon stood next to his senior brother.

The group walked around the factory and did not go to the office. Instead, they took a car to the nearby beach.

Yu Xing looked out toward the East China Sea, then pointed to the west: "We'll soon reach Zhejiang Province along the Shenyang-Haikou Expressway."

"Yes, it will be very soon, but not in the end." Cai Haoyu shook his head, "Mr. Yu, this is the reason. I came here to invest in your tram project."

Zhong Zhiling who was standing next to him was surprised to find out after hearing this that the investor did not come for Carbon Silicon Data Company, but for the electric vehicle project. However, it sounded like his senior brother was bringing funds to the former.

"Mr. Cai, there is nothing we can do. Your decision-making process is a bit long, and the tram project must be started. We can't just stop there and wait." Yu Xing said with a smile. Cai Haoyu was a little unwilling: "Just go with the original valuation. Mr. Yu, the conditions have been relaxed. Originally, if you didn't return to Zhejiang Province, the funds would not be approved. I persuaded you and expressed my optimism, so it was approved. Just think of it as taking care of my hometown people."

Last time, he negotiated tram financing with IDG, Today Capital, and Shenzhen Capital Group. After returning, he spent a lot of energy to promote this matter and finally took out US$2000 million in investment.

However, Cai Haoyu came to Yu Xing excitedly, but it turned out that the tram project was not accepting financing for the time being. If he had to invest, the company's valuation would need to be recalculated, and it certainly couldn't be done the same way as last time.

In this way, you get shrunken shares for the same amount of money, which will be difficult to explain when you return home.

Yu Xing, on his part, saw the funds coming to his doorstep, and introduced mobile Internet projects such as Carbon Silicon Data Company to him with the traditional etiquette of "since you're here, you're here".

Cai Haoyu observed etiquette and accepted some new knowledge about the new project, but this was completely different from his purpose.

When Yu Xing heard this, he took out his mobile phone, found the communication records, and showed them to Mr. Cai: "Mr. Cai, it is because you are from my hometown that I want to make sure you don't make a wasted trip. Look, Carbon Silicon Data Company has a lot of funds wanting to come in recently. What do you think is going on?"

He has indeed received many calls from investment institutions recently, which are curious about the situation of Ad Buster, but they are not very interested in investing.

Cai Haoyu took a look at the enthusiasm of his colleagues on the spot, and he had to believe it.

"The prospects of mobile Internet are beyond words. This is a huge treasure." Yu Xing put away his phone. "I am not saying that Carbon Silicon Data will definitely succeed, but in terms of the configuration of the entrepreneurial team, although Zhong Zhiling is young, he has worked his way up from the grassroots level and eventually rang the bell with me. He is more than qualified to be the CEO."

"COO Zhai Yifei was one of the people in charge of Baidu's Tieba before. Needless to say, Tieba was very popular. Moreover, he has led the team to conduct trial and error in the direction, and now he undoubtedly has more experience."

"CTO Ge Zhijie used to work at Baidu. He was not very famous at that time, but he is the technical director of my WeChat company. Do I need to introduce you to the competition between WeChat and Penguin? He also became financially independent when WeChat was sold to Alibaba. This time he rejoined Carbon Silicon Data to do something bigger."

"The resumes of the three core executives are all here. If you still feel that's not enough, Chairman Yu Xing, I'm not bragging, but my friends in the industry have shown some respect for my operational capabilities."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Mr. Cai, if you were not from my hometown, I would never allow Carbon Silicon Data to introduce funds at this time. Besides, this is not mandatory. If you can accept the new valuation of the tram project, there is no problem in investing in it."

Times have changed. The tram project has already attracted a lot of talents and reached cooperation with many suppliers. The valuation is naturally different.

After listening to Mr. Yu's words, Cai Haoyu looked westward toward his hometown and had to raise a small objection: "Mr. Yu, if you were the CEO of Carbon Silicon Data, I would invest the $2000 million without hesitation, but now..."

He knew that Carbon Silicon Data Company was newly established, and the performance of Ad Buster could not be overestimated in terms of commercial value, while the performance of other software would depend on market performance.

"On the one hand, it's a matter of my energy. I have to do the tram work myself. Carbon Silicon Data is enough to formulate the strategy. They are all experienced in doing projects." Yu Xing explained seriously, "On the other hand, I believe in their abilities and the advantages that the Carbon Silicon Data team has formed in the current mobile Internet market."

He reminded again: "Mr. Cai, you don't have to rush to make a decision today. You can go back and discuss it. But, just like the tram project, if it takes too long, it will be hard to say what the price will be next time."

Cai Haoyu said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, we are all from the same hometown, and you are pushing me like this."

Yu Xing shrugged: "The valuation of electric vehicles is rising, and so is Carbon Silicon Data. Our promotion efforts will increase in the future. Once the traffic explodes, the valuation will inevitably increase. This is determined by the market. Mr. Cai, please think carefully."

He extended his right hand, indicating that this communication ended here.

After Cai Haoyu shook hands, he suddenly made a request that made Yu Xing smile as soon as he got into the car: "Mr. Yu, if that's the case, then let your car take me along the Shenhai Expressway. The properties of the two projects are too different. I have to go back and talk."

Yu Xing naturally agreed: "Okay, Mr. Cai, tell me anytime if there is any situation. If possible, I still hope that people from our hometown can earn this money."

The deputy general manager of Zhejiang Industrial Investment went back with the information of the new project and went through the process again.

Yu Xing and a few others stood on the roadside waiting for the factory car to pick them up.

"Brother Xing, the funds are coming faster than I expected." Zhong Zhiling finally expressed his true feelings at this time.

"What a coincidence, we bumped into each other." Yu Xing threw a cigarette and said with a smile, "I was thinking about Carbon Silicon Data's funding problem a few days ago. IDG and Capital Today have invested a lot of money in trams before, and Carbon Silicon Data's core project is relatively traditional. They are very hesitant. If Zhejiang Industrial Investment can invest first this time, it will be smoother to raise funds later."

Zhong Zhiling nodded, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Information is a relatively traditional market. Whether it is portal websites or companies like Baidu and 360, they seem to be more capable of doing it."

“Yes.” Yu Xing admitted this. “So, although Adbusters has grown rapidly this time, investors seem to be more rational. If you ask me, there is one thing that everyone has misjudged, and that is the scale of the sinking market.”

When Zhong Zhiling heard this, his heart sank. This was something he had never thought about.

"The price of Android phones is falling rapidly, and the threshold will inevitably be lowered in the future. The expansion and penetration of the market are difficult to estimate simply by looking at the numbers." Yu Xing took a puff of cigarette and continued, "The market is very traditional and the competition is fierce. Everyone is used to doing familiar things, so exploration is more valuable. Be respectful of the market, because it is easy for unexpected things to happen."

The sinking market is not only a matter of misjudgment for investors, but also for giants.

Yu Xing felt that this was truly awe-inspiring.

Zhong Zhiling pondered over this and said sincerely: "Brother Xing, you still have to be the CEO. I will just help you out."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "What Cai Haoyu and I said is true. You guys are trustworthy. The general strategic direction is like that. Now we just need people who can do things to push it forward."

Zhong Zhiling was still sincere: "Then I can be considered capable."

Yu Xing smiled and patted his junior on the shoulder. He felt that there was no problem with this configuration. Besides, there was also a consultant named Liu Jiankai who had Xu's investment style.

The investment results of Zhejiang Industrial Investment have not been released yet, but two days later, Carbon Silicon Company issued a definition of malicious advertising.

——Forced dissemination, privacy theft, induced fraud, and system destruction.

In addition, AdKiller also directly named NetQin and mentioned its profound attainments in this area.
