Chapter 204 US$2.245 billion dividend
“It should be that he has mastered L2 intelligent driving, but he is reluctant to put it on Qin.”
Li Bing talked with many engineers, working in the automobile-related industry is so Over the years, he has become a semi-expert.
It is predicted that if BYD Qin's sales are satisfactory and its reputation is good, it will launch its next model soon, most likely it will be an SUV for the mid-range market.
In the mid- to low-end market, several new forces are not greedy, but they just don’t have the strength to compete with BYD on price.
After all, BYD claims that it can produce even a nut itself, but on the other hand, they still need others to produce it.
If we need to compete with BYD in the future, we will definitely not be able to compete with it. We can only focus on the high-end market and win with quality.
Listening to their conversation, Lu Liang absorbed knowledge like a sponge, as if he had gone back to the time he learned foreign languages last year.
Li Bing was fascinated by the conversation, but he did not dare to ignore Lu Liang: "Mr. Lu, how is the research and development of the car and machine?"
"It is estimated that in three or four months, it will be There is a basic version of 1.0."
Since Hu Weiwei went to the capital, Lu Liang has been very relieved and basically doesn't have to worry about things there.
The first thing she did when she took office at Tianxing Technology was to integrate project data and make a report that Lu Liangneng could understand.
Li Jiahui is a genius, but he is still a mortal. Even though he is backed by Tsinghua University, he is often personally guided by academicians of the National Academy of Engineering and assisted by a total of 35 professors, doctors and masters in computer science. .
But with only half a year, it is obviously unrealistic to completely independently develop the vehicle-machine system. Fortunately, Lu Liang’s requirement is that the mainstream market can use it, and he will slowly improve it in the future.
After thinking about it, we decided to use Android’s infrastructure and then appropriately learn from Tesla’s patented technology.
After all, Tesla discloses all its patented technologies, firstly, it wants to become an industry benchmark, and secondly, it also wants to cultivate gu, so that all companies can help it cultivate algorithms for free.
But after all, they have nothing. They are starting from scratch. When it is time to learn from others, they can still learn from it a little bit.
Taking the strengths of others and making up for their weaknesses.
Lu Liang did not object. Anyway, it is a public technology. He just reminded you to learn from it, but do not use the other party’s structure. The priority should be clearly distinguished.
After all, the other party wants to play the trick of making the world unified and becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance. If you use him, he can also use you in the future.
If the progress bar is 100%, it has just reached 10%.
However, 0-1% took more than a month, while 1-10% only took two weeks, and another three or four months would be about the same.
"It's really fast. I hope Tianxing Motor Vehicles can surpass our NIO Motor Vehicles." Li Bing's eyes flashed with worry, and he couldn't help but feel envious. It's good to have money.
The progress of Lu Liang's R&D team has come from behind and is almost on par with them. Who will win in the battle between cars and machines in December is probably still unknown.
Lu Liang smiled indifferently and said softly: "Mr. Li, there's no point in saying who should surpass the other. It's all for the good of es8."
As an investor, he reminded Li Bing that Weilai can develop cars and machines, but the focus must still be on es8.
R&D is a bottomless pit. If NIO insists on going its own way, they may reconsider whether to continue investing in NIO.
"Yes, it's all for the good of es8." Li Bing woke up from the dream and hurriedly apologized, naturally hearing Lu Liang reminding him.
For a moment, he almost forgot that Lu Liang was not only a competitor of NIO, but also a founding investor of NIO.
Even if everything goes smoothly, Weilai will still be in a state of extreme lack of money in the next two years.
No one can be offended, but the financial owner can't be offended.
"The car will be left here. We don't have much money, so don't bother with borrowing one and getting two for two." Lu Liang planned to leave.
The new energy industry is developing faster than he expected, and it is time to expand the scale of assets.
At noon the next day, invitation letters were sent out from the company to all fund investors.
Fund No. 1 will pay dividends for the second time, Fund No. 2 will pay dividends for the first time, and we will discuss the establishment of Fund No. 3.
On this day, business tycoons from all over the world gathered together, including Zhu Hu and Lei Jun from the capital, Shen Peng and Guo Changguang from the magic city, and the three brothers Li, Guo and Zheng from Xiangjiang.
Before the meeting, everyone was chatting in the reception room. Seeing familiar faces, everyone was filled with emotion.
These people, including them, are Lu Liang’s connections.
It is no exaggeration to say that if there is a terrorist attack at this moment, the national economy will be set back for at least three years.
"Mr. Lu, you are still like this, you like to titillate people." Someone couldn't help laughing and teasing. Today is the 24th, and Tianxing No. 1 will update the net value for this month at noon tomorrow, so we can also know how much Lu Liang earned from shorting the Japanese yen last week.
However, he chose today and sent out invitations three days in advance, which almost made them all laugh.
Xu Xiaojun came to the crowd in a suit and leather boots, smiled and chatted: "It is said that it is three to five billion US dollars."
He learned this number from Xiao Wang, and based on the relationship between the two , it should be quite convincing.
He looked at the crowd with emotion in his eyes. If Lu Liang became his brother-in-law, these people would also become relatives of their family.
Unfortunately, Lu Liang was not interested in Xu Huiqi. Even that day, when his sister took a taxi back, he was scolded for a long time.
"Compared to the dividends of No. 1 and No. 2, I care more about the fundraising scale of No. 3." Someone suddenly said.
If it were just about dividends, there probably wouldn’t be so many real owners here today. The key is the project negotiation on the 3rd.
There is no doubt that the management scale of Fund No. 3 should far exceed the sum of funds of Fund No. 1 and No. 2.
"Isn't Xiaocong here? Just ask him and you'll know why you're spending so much effort here."
This man was very familiar with Wang Xiaocong. He waved and Xiao Wang hurried over: "Uncle Zhou, long time no see."
"Xiao Cong, you have a good relationship with Mr. Lu. What's going on with Fund No. 3?" the man asked with a smile.
Xiao Wang had a bitter look on his face: "Uncle Zhou, to be honest, he thought I was a loudspeaker and refused to tell me."
The day he received the invitation, he hurriedly ran there Looking for Lu Liang, but Lu Liang refused to disclose it.
He paused and then said: "Mr. Lu, it seems that he was still considering the scale at that time, and the amount involved should be quite large."
When Uncle Zhou heard this, he laughed: "Even if it's two billion or three billion, it won't be enough for everyone present." The fund has a guaranteed profit of US$2.2 billion.
In half a year, the principal has doubled. Even if Fund No. 3 raises US$5 billion, there are still a lot of people flocking to it.
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and everyone said that money is not an issue.
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "Mr. Lu is here."
Lu Liang put on a suit that he had not worn a few times in a year, smiled and waved to everyone: "Everyone, please come inside."
He was very fortunate to have rented a 3,800-square-meter apartment last year. Office, otherwise I should change my location again this year.
Although large area does not mean good or beautiful, but small area, various defects will be infinitely magnified.
The conference room is more than 200 square meters,
more than enough to accommodate seventy or eighty people.
Lu Liang came on stage to say hello, then sat down and asked Wen Chao to talk about the investment process in the past six months.
“Hello, ladies and gentlemen, nine months have passed since the issuance of Fund No. 1.”
“In December last year, we paid our first dividend. Take out $286.4 million."< br>
“I believe that no one in the world can match the cyclical profitability of dividends at that time.”
“After half a year, we gathered together again and added the second fund 23 investors.”
Facing all the big guys, Wen Chao was a little reluctant to let go at first, but gradually became more comfortable and able to talk freely.
Although he talked a lot, it seemed unnecessary nonsense, but it was also Lu Liang's tacit approval.
Because he needs to make them realize that money does not fall from the sky. The high management fees they pay, and the shares they even need to get through an entrustment relationship are all worth it in the face of the benefits at this time.
I talked eloquently for more than ten minutes, and finally came to one of the topics that everyone was most concerned about, the amount of dividends and the total assets of the two funds.
The assets of the two funds total US$3.345 billion. They plan to reserve US$1.1 billion in principal and distribute the remaining US$2.245 billion in profits as dividends.
It’s gone tonight. I’ll find time to make up for it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
