Chapter 195: Could he be running away?
While the two were talking, the negotiation next to them was almost coming to an end.
Seeing that the conversation was almost the same, Tang Caidi threw out the king card that Lu Liang gave her, which could provide US dollar investment.
The reason why Sequoia is strong and is known as the number one brother in the venture capital industry is that in addition to its good vision, more importantly, it is the attribute of a dual-currency fund, which can provide US dollar investments to companies.
Although unlike in the past, companies regard earning foreign exchange as their top priority, most companies still lack foreign exchange.
In particular, industrial technology companies often have to import high-precision equipment from abroad, and they also need foreign exchange reserves.
Although the state provides support to high-tech enterprises, Jude can apply for an interest-free foreign exchange loan from the bank at any time.
But loans always have to be repaid, and the procedures are cumbersome.
Coincidentally, Tianxing is also a dual currency fund.
With US$520 million in financing, Su Boyuan could only agree to set the valuation of Jude at 33.228 billion yuan.
However, this round, there is only one organization, Tianxing, so naturally they have the final say on what to say to the outside world.
Tang Caidi smiled and said he had no objection.
Before financing, of course she hopes that the valuation is as low as possible, because it can reduce the amount of money invested.
But after financing, everyone is a family. The higher the valuation of Jude, the higher their profits on paper.
The two parties have negotiated various cooperation details, and the funds will be transferred to Jude's account within the next 60 working days.
Su Boyuan had no objection. After all, it was more than 500 million U.S. dollars, not hundreds or tens of millions. Two months was already considered too soon.
"Mr. Zeng, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
Lu Liang smiled. After this financing, they will hold 13.33% of Jude's equity.
Even if the IPO will be slightly diluted next year, the final listing will still have at least 11.997%.
In time, if Jude goes public and its market value exceeds one trillion yuan, these shares will be worth 119.97 billion yuan.
When Lu Liang gets rich, he will transfer the equity from Tianxing Assets to Tianxing Investments.
In this way, relying only on Jude's equity assets, he can become a real billionaire.
"Mr. Lu, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
Zeng Minqun smiled and was in a good mood.
If nothing unexpected happens, Jude Times will become the first listed company invested by Lu Liang.
Needless to say, Lu Liang’s vision is that after the merger of Xigua and Douyin, it quickly swept through major cities in the country.
Even the three northeastern provinces, which Kuaishou hails as its own territory, have also been exploited, and the number of users has exceeded the 80 million mark.
In the domestic short video field, it has become a rising star with a market share second only to Kuaishou, and its user stickiness is unmatched.
The chemical reaction produced by the merger of the two companies, according to professional evaluation agencies, must be at least one times a hundred.
Those who criticized Lu Liang as being taken advantage of at the time have now changed their tune and praised his unparalleled forward vision.
The investment vision is excellent, and the judgment of the market is even more excellent.
They have decided to list on the GEM, and Lao Zeng can’t wait to see the grand occasion that day.
The cooperation was finalized, and both parties came to eat at a restaurant invested by Jude Times next to Chijian Lake.
At the same time, the news that Jude received hundreds of millions of dollars of investment from Tianxing with a valuation of 35 billion yuan spread quickly.
The person in charge of the public relations department of Jude came forward to confirm the news.
They also stated that this round of financing will be their last round before going public. Next, they will make every effort to prepare for the listing. They plan to start an IPO road show at the end of the year or next year. Interested investors can continue to pay attention.
As soon as this statement came out, the new energy sector surged, and lithium battery raw material suppliers took off collectively.
In February this year, Lu Liang invested one billion yuan in Jude. Just over four months later, he invested another three billion yuan.
Two investments amounted to more than 4 billion, far exceeding the total of his previous investments, and his optimism about new energy was almost written on his face.
Domestic funds set Lu Liang as a benchmark. After all, it is better to follow the big daddy than to go through the trouble of researching the market.
It should be noted that at the beginning of the year, at least one of the institutions that followed the trend in buying new energy has a 20% return rate so far.
Seeing Lu Liang increase his investment, they all adjusted their positions and increased their investment in the new energy sector.
Institutions follow the trend, and so do retail investors.
Further promote the rise of the new energy sector.
The new energy index has become the most important sector in the big A market, thus driving the rise of the entire market.
"Fellow, come back quickly. Gold bars are distributed in the village and banks are closed."
"If the bull turns around, there must be a reason. This wave is bullish by 6,000 points."
For a time, in the eyes of retail investors in the market With tears in their eyes, they seemed to have seen last year's mad bull market, and some people were focusing on the international market, mainly focusing on the Japanese yen exchange rate. They have not forgotten that Lu Liang's badmouthing about Japan's economy was probably to short the Japanese yen.
Following Lu Liang and eating big meat has become the consensus of countless domestic and foreign investors and speculators.
After a night's rest in Jude, Lu Liang led his team on the high-speed train to the Magic City early the next morning.
Not long after arriving at the company, Wang Xiaocong came over after smelling the smell, with a nosy look on his face, intending to savor the melon.
His ex-wife suddenly appeared and turned against him. He suddenly discovered that Lu Liang’s life experience was so damn exciting.
“Is the panda still cold?” Lu Liang’s eyes were unkind and he didn’t look good at him at all.
“How can it be cold? The net is just a gust of wind, and it will be fine after it blows over.”
Xiao Wang was very proud. The 446 million from the last financing was successively received, and he was able to survive the Internet cleanup crisis safely.
Now that Panda is firmly in the third place in the live broadcast industry, he suddenly feels that he can speak loudly again.
“Be careful when extreme happiness leads to sorrow.” Lu Liang sneered. People fight and tigers have penguins to support them, and pandas do.
In his opinion, while the current business situation is good, we should implement our ideas and find opportunities to cash out.
Like Xiao Wang, when he has no money, he thinks about cashing out, and when he has money, he suddenly swells up. Sooner or later, he will hit the street if he is half-hearted.
"You think I don't want to? It's just that I really can't get away."
Xiao Wang sighed, even if he drifted again, he would not dare to drift in front of Lu Liang, but he could not find a suitable successor.
Lu Liang thought for a moment and said with a smile: "LeTV is a big guy, you can go talk to Mr. Jia."
Attending Douyin's financing meeting in Beijing last week, he and Shen Peng and Zhu Hu talked about LeTV, and the three parties had almost the same idea.
LeTV’s financial situation should be very serious, but in order not to be exposed, it can only act in a high-profile manner.
This is also why they led the investment in Panda. After all, as long as they are willing to spend money, others will not think that they have no money.
Because there is a saying that when everyone thinks he is rich, even if he has no money, he will become rich.
And when everyone thinks he has no money, no matter how rich he is, he will become poor.
Xiao Wang looked angrily: "Look for me, Chenhai and Jinshajiang have all called us for the funds from the last round of financing, but LeTV didn't have any, and they said they would wait for foreign exchange settlement and delay it for another month."
Lu Liang was surprised: "He really said that?"
"What else?"
"Wait a minute."
Lu Liang looked strange and called Wen Chao to ask him to investigate the details of the assets mortgaged by LeTV to the bank.
Because he remembered that when he was in his hometown, Lao Jia seemed to have contacted him and wanted to talk about investment in Faraday Future.
However, he refused because he had something to do, and now Panda’s financing funds have been delayed.
A thought suddenly occurred in Lu Liang's mind. Could it be that Lao Jia was running away?
"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Wang was confused.
"Maybe."
Lu Liang's face was solemn and absent-minded. He suddenly received a breaking international news. The situation in the south further fermented. Bangzi entered the scene and agreed to allow the United States to stay in their territory. Arrange the shaman.
Once the news was announced, it aroused heated discussions among netizens, and almost instantly set off a wave of boycotts of Korean products.
It's like digging a big hole in front of your home.
Lu Liang browsed the relevant news and was well aware of the affairs in the south. He had already begun to move from behind the scenes to the front.
At this time, Wen Chao knocked on the door and came in. He had just found out that LeTV had a loan of 530 million, which was mortgaged with equity.
Lu Liang called up the market chart of LeTV's stock. Coincidentally, LeTV's stock price plummeted last month, and the equity was about to become insolvent.
At that time, Lao Jia chose to lead the investment in Panda, and the stock price rose sharply as a result, and it survived the insolvency crisis.
Lu Liang couldn't help but laugh. He listed all the data and looked up at Xiao Wang: "Do you understand now?"
"LeTV's 158 million led investment in Panda is gone?"
Xiao Wang Wang looked shocked and couldn't believe it.
Lu Liang almost fed all the food into his mouth. Even if he was a fool, he should know what this meant.
Lao Jia regards pandas as stepping stones, and most likely they are disposable.
The so-called foreign exchange settlement is just rhetoric.
Perhaps he never thought about investing in Panda. He just used the reputation of the richest man's son and Lu Liang's stock participation to raise LeTV's stock price and survive the insolvency crisis.
