Chapter 318 Didi suffers a heavy blow
“Go and contact me, in my name.”
Lu Liang looked through Didi’s information and found that compared with the OFO financing the year before last, the progress in the past few years Development is like riding a rocket.
As of last month, 9 rounds of financing have been completed, with a cumulative financing of over US$20 billion and a valuation of US$50 billion.
Become the technology company with the highest total amount of financing and the largest number of rounds in the world that has not yet been listed.
Zhu Hu’s most famous achievement is that he led Didi’s Series A investment of US$3 million and obtained 20% of the equity.
Although after eight rounds of equity dilution, it still holds 5.58% of the equity, worth US$2.79 billion.
As of now, the profit has been 930 times.
“Didi, Pinxixi, Meituan, none of them have caught up.”
Lu Liang sighed helplessly. It was still too late to develop. If it had been earlier, maybe it would not have happened. Miss these three unicorns.
However, he thought of Douyin, which was a comfort. In recent years, he had caught at least one of the four unicorn companies.
I just talked with Zhang Yiming. TK has a strong momentum in the international market. It can be said that it has been pushed forward and destroyed.
The short video section developed by YouTube was not even qualified to compete with them head-on, so they were knocked down directly.
After all, the Gu King trained by 700 million users, with an almost demonic algorithm, has gone global, which is tantamount to a dimensionality reduction attack.
There are not many minors abroad, anti-addiction protection, and the scale is very large. After the acquisition of Musical.ly, the infringement quality control was withdrawn.
TK's direct casual mode has made the market bigger and bigger. Currently, there are about 80 million international users, and the average daily online time is 4.3 hours.
Under the recommendation of the algorithm, it can be called electronic opium. It feels good to use it for a while, and it feels good to keep using it.
Accidentally, the valuation reached US$12 billion. Lu Liang holds 9.25% of the shares, currently worth US$1.11 billion.
After waiting for a while, Hu Weiwei ended the call with Liu Qing and came over and said: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Liu really wants to meet you and is also very interested in our cooperation, but Mr. Liu and Mr. Cheng both If you are not in the capital, I will probably have to wait until next Tuesday to have time.”
“Mr. Liu also said that if you are not in the capital then, she can also visit you in the Magic City.”
"Got it."
Lu Liang paused slightly. He had just seen that Didi's merger with Uber was investigated by the Ministry of Commerce in the name of antitrust.
The online ride-hailing market has been struggling for five or six years, as users gradually got used to and accepted the existence of online ride-hailing.
Didi is also preparing to go public. The last step before going public is to annex Uber and complete the unification of the industry.
The result was a serious disaster.
"Mr. Lu, do you want to wait?" Hu Weiwei asked.
"Well, we won't wait for now."
Lu Liang looked thoughtful, how come the Liu family is so awesome and can't even handle the anti-monopoly law.
Ali Group was also investigated at first, also in the name of antitrust, but it was resolved quickly and went public in the United States.
He always felt that there was a story in it, but he thought about it to no avail, so he decisively called Brother Hu and asked Brother Hu to have dinner with him tonight.
In the evening, Lu Liang came to Re Mansion.
I brought a Douyin employee here last time, and the experience was very good. It happened that my skin was a little itchy recently, and I thought I hadn’t rubbed it for a long time, so I made an appointment with Zhu Hu here.
Zhu Hu had something to deal with and could not come over until later, so Lu Liang soaked until his head felt dizzy.
Suddenly a splash of zero points woke Lu Liang up.
Zhu Hu dived into the water and sulked for a while, then finally surfaced, wiped off the water stains on his face, and said with a smile: "Old Lu, why are you suddenly in the mood to invite me to take a bath tonight? .”
"Watching the sky at night, I calculated that you have been under a lot of stress recently, so I invite you to come over to relieve your stress and relax your body and mind."
Lu Liang walked to the shore, took out two bottles of cold beer, and handed one to Zhu Hu, Touched the mouth of the bottle.
After drinking half a bottle in one breath, my head, which was dizzy from the hot springs, suddenly regained consciousness.
Zhu Hu took a big sip and said jokingly: "Can you help Brother Hu figure out whether this is a blessing or a curse?"
"Sorry, the master hasn't taught you this yet. ”
Lu Liang was sitting on the shore wearing wet underpants. He pulled his crotch a little to prevent Lu from being too conspicuous.
He drank cold beer and soaked his feet. He put one hand behind his back and looked up. To the starless night sky: "The research and development of the intelligent driving system has encountered a bottleneck, and I plan to introduce third-party forces."
"Who?" Zhu Hu raised his eyebrows and instantly realized that Lu Liang was preparing to officially enter new energy. .
Back then, he shamelessly used 230 million yuan to exchange for 10% of the equity of Tianxing Technology, and made a guarantee that he would not rush or interfere with daily operations. Even if Lu Liang wanted to hold back, the Jinsha River would be destroyed. No comment.
But now Lu Liang wants to introduce third-party forces, others may not be as easy to talk to as Jinshajiang. It is impossible for Lu Liang not to know this.
Zhu Hu reasonably guessed that Lu Liang should enter the field and is currently making final preparations.
"Didi. If you want to speed up the research and development of smart driving, you need Didi's database."
Lu Liang smiled and did not hide it, because Jinshajiang is also the only one besides him shareholder.
“Didi? It’s a bit difficult.”
Lao Zhu frowned and moved his buttocks to sit on the shore, not wanting to soak in Lu Liang's foot-washing water anymore.
He sighed: "Lao Lu, do you think Didi is really under antitrust investigation?"
"Is there something hidden?" Lu Liang was curious.
Zhu Hu glanced at Xu Jiawei not far away. Lu Liangliang understood and waved him out.
Zhu Hu said softly: "It was questioned by the National Security Bureau, so it was investigated by the Anti-Monopoly Law."
"How did you provoke the National Security Bureau?" Lu Liang frowned, and the look of confusion on his face became more intense.
Zhu Hu looked sad: "It is said that precise information such as the maximum longitudinal slope and the minimum radius of curvature was leaked. The National Security Bureau questioned whether it had reached some kind of private deal with some foreign forces."
"Are you crazy? Isn't this for sale?" Lu Liang frowned.
The accuracy of high-precision maps is generally at the sub-meter level. Taking Amap as an example, if he wants, the accuracy can be within 10 centimeters.
Didi also obtained the qualification for high-precision maps last year. What is the concept of ten centimeters? The length of the small continent is more than ten centimeters.
What's more, as a national-level app, Didi made a total of 5.423 billion trips last year, and the number of users using it exceeded 200 million.
There are 200 million people, many of whom hold confidential positions. When do they travel every day, where do they pass, and where do they go.
If this data is known to the enemy, once a war begins, they will know where to focus their attacks.
You can even use this to speculate whether there are hidden military fortresses in those inaccessible places.
“I don’t know, that’s all I know.”
Zhu Hu sighed helplessly. He didn't care about homeland security or whether it was leaked or not.
All he cares about is whether Didi can successfully go public and whether the 930 times profit can be cashed out.
Zhu Hu paused and then said: "It's really good to cooperate with Didi, but don't get involved in this matter."
Lenovo's virtue is that it can win municipal orders from various places all year round, almost becoming Synonymous with SINOMACH.
As for Didi, even the Liu family was unable to help, which shows how serious the trouble it caused was.
Lu Liang took a sip of beer: "Don't worry, we are just talking about business, and we can only accept investment from Didi."
"Is the public offering completed?" Zhu Hu was curious.
"Almost, wait two more months and see what happens."
Zhu Hu sighed quietly: "You have forgotten about private equity funds for a long time."
"I forgot, didn't you receive the notification? It's already 1.85 this month."
Lu Liang squinted his eyes. He just received the news the day before yesterday that there would be a huge market trend in mid-September.
When he breaks away from the public offering, launches another private placement, and makes a lot of money, he will have money to build cars.
Zhu Hu complained: “In recent months, Tesla’s increase has basically been the increase, and there are basically no other profits.”
“Tesla’s increase is not considered a profit? Why not? Treat the village chief as a cadre."
Lu Liang pulled Zhu Hu up from the big pond and pushed him: "Let's go for a walk, my feet are soaked."
"Eating late night snacks? Such a fast?"
"As you age, you need to keep in good health. Don't play songs every night. Be careful of impotence."
"When these words come out of your mouth, I Why don’t you believe it so much?”
Zhu Hu looked disgusted and called his little lover directly.
Two, he wants to have fun tonight.
