The small red wooden block gently fell to a just-right position without falling. It originally belonged to this position.

Lu Heng took back his hand and showed a satisfied smile.

The internal building blocks have been completed, and now the red exterior walls of this European-style castle are also completed. The next thing he needs to do is the white spire.

This birthday gift given to me by Susu is really good!

Not only can it kill time, but it can also practice scientific analysis and logical thinking.

Although he only played for a while, Lu Heng clearly felt some benefits. At least his mind was no longer so impetuous.

The corner of Lu Heng's mouth curled up slightly, "When I have a child in the future, I can buy him a bunch of building block toys, which can not only play with him, but also cultivate the habit of using his hands and brain."

A certain life that was not yet born, to Lu Heng's joy, already had the first toy in its life.

After getting up and wiping his hands, Lu Heng came to the study.

According to the agreed time, the video call was opened, and the person was not the familiar Lin Su, but Qin Xinkun.

The picture unfolds, and Qin Xinkun, who has been the general manager of Genesis for some time, is filled with a different temperament.

This difference cannot be explained in detail, but anyone who has been in contact with Qin Xinkun before or after can feel it.

It seems that he is more confident and capable, and there is a faint feeling of strategizing between his eyebrows.

Lu Heng has felt this feeling in some people, such as Xu Xin, Ji Yue, Lei Jun, and even himself.

In comparison, Qin Xinkun feels lighter, but it has already begun to take shape.

"Is work going well lately?" Lu Heng asked with a smile.

On the other side of the computer, Qin Xinkun said with a cheerful expression: "Very good! Everyone else is very cooperative with my work. Now I have a clear understanding of all the big and small things in the company. Once there is a large-scale investment and acquisition activity,

It will definitely be much easier than before.”

Lu Heng nodded secretly, this was the situation he wanted to see.

Twist the company's strength into a rope, and you can use your greatest strength at any time!

Although the original Genesis functioned as an investment, its structure was actually relatively loose because it lacked a strong controller.

Just like when faced with investing in a project like Vipshop, if Lu Heng came forward in person, both his status and the scope of decisions he could make would be much larger.

Naturally, the difficulty in all aspects is also much smaller.

But he didn't have that time, so he could only reluctantly promote Qin Xinkun to the status of general manager temporarily and let him take the lead.

But the results can only be said to be unsatisfactory, and it took a lot of effort to win this investment.

Now Qin Xinkun was supported by him and had slightly weaker power, but the effect was exactly the same.

It also reduced his workload, which made Lu Heng very satisfied.

After simple thoughts wandering around, Lu Heng returned to the topic.

"How is the investigation on the acquisition of AutoNavi Software going?"

Qin Xinkun looked solemn and replied methodically: "Since you, Director Lu, issued this task in November, I organized a group of people to carry out investigation work. We will evaluate it from various aspects such as market potential and required funds.

The evaluation result is that the company has great potential and is qualified for investment and acquisition."

"I definitely know this. Although it is not accurate, there is definitely a need for acquisition, otherwise I would not assign this task to you." Lu Heng said lightly, not surprised by this reply.

Qin Xinkun paused and continued: "However, judging from the survey results, investment is more difficult than we imagined!"

"Oh, is it so?"

Lu Heng was a little surprised and puzzled that a company that only produces digital map software would be difficult to invest in?

In his opinion, a company like this, with a market capitalization of over 100 million yuan, is already very powerful as of now.

If you want to acquire it, you don't have to buy it all. You only need to hold 51% of the shares, or exceed the current major shareholder, and then the acquisition goal should be achieved.

This price range, according to Lu Heng's budget, should not exceed 300 million yuan per person at most.

This speculation is dozens of times different from Alibaba’s $1.1 billion acquisition of Amap a few years later, which sounds a bit fanciful.

But in fact, Lu Heng made this judgment.

The basis for judgment is also very simple. Although the era of smart phones has arrived, it has not yet reached the point of full popularization, and the application of digital maps is not that frequent.

Moreover, within China, the application and promotion of digital maps mainly benefit from state support and the large-scale production of positioning function software.

But the national policy obviously has not yet come down.

The so-called positioning function software refers to software such as Ele.me and Didi Taxi that need to determine the specific location.

Didi Taxi has just been born and has not yet been launched on the market, so it cannot be said to have made any contribution to the promotion of Amap.

As for the current development level of Ele.me, Lu Heng also keeps abreast of it from Xiao Jianguo.

Although the number of users is large, it is only 50 million and has not yet exceeded 100 million. The number of daily orders has reached a maximum of 800,000.

Although this result is already very good, it can almost be said that in the current domestic Internet, and even in the world, it is a well-deserved tiger.

But it would be childish to say that we can expand the market scope of digital maps just by relying on this base.

As a competitor of Ele.me, Baidu Takeout!

Although they also need this function, they did not cooperate with Amap, but used their own Baidu map.

In other words, in this field, the two sides overlap and will not achieve the effect of expanding the market in a short period of time.

After all, Baidu Waimai was launched not long ago this year.

Relying on these data, Lu Heng made his previous judgment.

But the answer Qin Xinkun gave him showed that his judgment was wrong!

Lu Heng was not confident that his judgment would never be wrong. That was just arrogance. When it came to investment research, he still trusted Qin Xinkun, a professional.

And next, Qin Xinkun gave him an explanation that made him realize where he had gone wrong.

"Amap Software Company was successfully listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market in the United States in July this year, with the stock code amap."

Lu Heng was stunned and lost his mind for a moment.

This is extremely rare for Lu Heng, who has long been trained to be indifferent to emotions and anger, and can freely control his facial expressions.

But soon, he calmed down.

No wonder he didn't know this information. In July this year, it happened to be the time when he and Lin Su were preparing to get engaged.

In addition, he had just finished a business trip to inspect 4S stores across the country of Hengcheng Group. He was busy with the company, so naturally he would not notice the listing of a software company.

But thinking about it now, he felt a little bit regretful.

If, a few months earlier, he had noticed the importance of digital maps, he might have made a lot of money.

Of course, this kind of pity will only disappear quickly. There is no way to make all the money, and it is impossible for him to make it alone.

He is now more concerned about the specific situation of Amap and how to acquire it!
