Chapter 439: Down-to-earth, work hard
"Mr. Lu, how about we stay and have a meal together?"
After the meeting, Zhou Hongwei and Lei Jun found Lu Liang. Naturally, they were not just here to eat.
360 Finance and Xiaomi both plan to go public by the end of the year, or next year. Lu Liang’s achievements in assisting Panda are so impressive, and now he has accepted Didi’s invitation, and they also want to learn from their experience.
"Okay, wait for me." Lu Liang looked at Lei Jun with a wary look, waved to Xu Jiawei, and whispered: "You take the information to Mr. Hu first, I will go there later. ”
Lao Zhou may really want to ask about the listing, but Lei Jun definitely has bad intentions.
After all, Xiaomi has already decided to go public in Hong Kong next year, and it has also planned to pay a dividend of 9.9 billion by the end of the year.
Pre-IPO surprise dividend payment, the biggest taboo, makes it clear that you don’t care whether the stock price will break.
Now you come to him for advice? Lu Liang could suddenly understand Zhang Yiming's feeling of being wary of him.
Lei Jun coughed a few times, pretended not to notice, and discussed with Lao Zhou where to have dinner later.
"Leizi, look at what you have done. Even Mr. Lu is wary of you? You need to reflect on it."
Zhou Hongwei looked disgusted. His relationship with Lei Jun is like Shen Peng Follow Zhu Hu.
They have been in love and killing each other since Kingsoft.com.com was a paid model at first, but the emergence of 360 shattered the paid model.
And the reason why he has such a bad reputation now is because of his date with Lei Jun.
Obviously it was Lei Jun who was talking too much, so Zhou Hongwei invited him to a duel at the gate of Chaoyang Park.
As a result, netizens this time were all looking for good looks. Lei Jun refused to go to the appointment and planned his escape route because he looked like a teenager. However, he turned out to be the villain, and Dou E was not so unfair to him.
Lu Liang's face darkened: "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean by even?"
"Nothing."
Zhou Hongwei laughed dryly, turned around and discussed with Lei Jun, go to them The restaurant where I often eat.
At Wuyi No. 1 Restaurant on Dongbei Wang Road, Assistant Lei Jun booked a private room. As soon as they arrived, the dishes were brought in one after another.
Noon is no better than evening. There are things to be busy in the afternoon. Eat early, discuss things early, resolve things early, and leave early.
"Mr. Zhou, don't refuse. Just say it first." Lu Liang took a piece of chicken. Fujian food was too sweet and he didn't like it.
Zhou Hongwei was stunned, but also very direct, telling Rong360 that it had passed the approval and was expected to start the IPO road show in December.
If Lu Liang is willing to enter the market, he can say that he will take out 5% of the equity and start a round of financing for him alone.
Lu Liang did not refuse immediately. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Mr. Zhou, you should also understand my current situation. I really don't have enough resources. How about I introduce you to a few institutions and you go and talk to them yourself? Talk, how about it?”
Good steel should be used on the blade, and so should the wealth transformed by fame. It will become worthless after being abused.
Rong360’s valuation is only US$3.3 billion, less than Panda. Its main business is lending, commonly known as P2P.
Although online loans helped Lu Liang get his first pot of gold, as his horizons became higher and higher, he actually didn't think highly of it.
The end of technology should not be lending.
The P2P industry is even more outrageous than new energy.
In the early years, only a few big manufacturers were involved, but after several years of development, all kinds of cats and dogs have entered the market.
Compared with them, loan sharks are considered conscientious. They cut off the loan within seven days, lending ten thousand to five thousand, and paying back ten thousand.
Lu Liang always felt that there would be a thunderstorm. It was not like he had no other ways to make money. He really didn’t want to get involved in this field.
Zhou Hongwei hesitated to speak, but did not say any more.
Inviting Lu Liang was a sudden idea, so it was expected that Lu Liang would not agree.
After getting Wilson's contact information from him, I thanked him, then buried my head, pricked up my ears, and concentrated on cooking.
"Mr. Lei... I'm sorry, I'm going to answer the phone first."
As soon as Lu Liang finished speaking, his cell phone rang suddenly, and he walked to the door to answer it.
The caller is Li Junyi, and we will meet up later to discuss how to get Didi to pass the review.
When he returned to the box, Lei Jun smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, Xiaomi is planning to build a car. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Since the World New Energy Vehicle Conference was held on the island in mid-July, the industry has ushered in a little spring.
Although the market has not completely accepted trams, leaders at the meeting have made clear their attitude towards this industry.
The attitude of the leaders is their attitude. Now that Xiaomi's development has reached a bottleneck, it is time to go further.
Lu Liang was dumbfounded, not wanting to answer the phone call, but Lei Jun suddenly became so direct.
He thought he would have to play Tai Chi with him before Lei Zi would reveal his true thoughts.
"Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, so what can I say?"
Lu Liang laughed. His wealth came too fast and he needed to find an industry to consume it. At this time, the country was developing new energy. Industry, there is another trillion-dollar market value forecast for Jude.
So, Lu Liang is very smooth and has slipped into this industry. I really don’t have any good advice.
It’s nothing more than being down-to-earth and working hard. Come quietly, no gun shooters, and if you fail, just pretend you have never done it.
Lei Jun was speechless: "Mr. Lu, you are quite open-minded."
"What can I do if I'm not open-minded? I really don't understand technology, so I can only spend more money."
Lu Liang smiled and talked about the Zhangjiang Science and Technology Park in the magical city, and what Su City is investing in established production base.
There was only 6.9 billion yuan left in the company's accounts, which he took out to invest in Didi. Now it only has more than 200 million yuan.
The construction site project still has a final payment of 3.6 billion yuan, and the production line also has a funding gap of 3.4 billion yuan.
A car has not been built yet,
In total, it is burdened with 22 billion in debt. After listening, the two of them looked thoughtful.
I have always heard that Lu Liang invested a lot of money in this industry, but there is no accurate figure.
Now the real owner has spoken, letting them know that 22 billion yuan and 3.2 billion U.S. dollars are just preliminary investments.
Zhou Hongwei scratched his head and felt that it was necessary to reconsider whether to continue investing money in Nezha Automobile.
Lei Jun's eyes lit up. He had been wearing the hat of Capital Cash King for too long, and it had become heavier and heavier in recent years.
After Xiaomi goes on the market, it’s time to find something to do. It’s time to start the last business venture in life.
After lunch for more than forty minutes, Zhou Hongwei and Lei Jun thanked each other and left. They had gotten what they wanted or the answer they wanted from Lu Liang.
"In a few years, will I also be called the Godfather of Business?"
Lu Liang rubbed his chin and thought, the corners of his mouth gradually raised. As long as there is no conflict of interest, he is still Very willing to help others.
Leaving the restaurant, Lu Liang came to SOHO Building.
He asked Hu Weiwei to pack up a room in advance and use it as his temporary office in the capital.
There used to be an office, but the place was too small at that time, and he might not be able to come there even once a month, so it was demolished.
Lu Liang saw that Xu Jiawei was extremely busy and stood at the door for a while before asking, "Jiawei, how long will it take to prepare the materials for review again?"
Xu Jiawei smiled bitterly: "Mr. Lu, reorganize If so, it will take at least half a month to deploy a team of at least 50 people.”
Didi is not only a company that has been developed for five years, but also has a valuation that has rapidly expanded to 50 billion US dollars. Super unicorn company.
He just talked with Liu Qing's assistant and learned that they had been busy for two months to form a team of 100 people to submit the review materials.
Although they have successfully taken over the deal now and a lot of data does not need to be collected again, the time it takes to sort it out will not be too short.
"You should stay in the capital during this period. Someone will help you with what should be submitted and what should not be submitted."
Lu Liang had a general understanding of the situation and left the company. When he arrived at the last restaurant, Li Junyi had been waiting for a long time.
He was too lazy to exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point and stated his request: "Director Li, my original intention is to make Didi public."
It is true that assisting relevant departments is the main reason, but you cannot join Didi just for the purpose of assisting.
The implication is that Didi must go public in the United States, otherwise it will not get involved in this muddy water.
Although his heart is red, he cannot let others see it. After all, he will make money in the international market in the future.
The external image can be profit-seeking, but it must not be loyal to the party and patriotic.
Li Junyi smiled: "That's natural. With Didi's development so far, it's time to go public."
Lu Liang nodded and said directly: "Then let's keep the story short. Which information is outside the red line and which information is within the red line? You can list it..."
He was too lazy to guess the contents of the red line, and he didn't want to Self-castration only adds to the troubles, which is not something he should consider.
Li Junyi's smile remained unchanged and he took out a piece of information: "Mr. Lu, we have sorted out some of the issues Didi submitted for review last time. As long as you delete or cover up these data, you will not be able to pass smoothly. Problem. "
They all see Lu Liang's efforts, and naturally they will not make it difficult for him. Now that the listing team has been replaced, the problems Liu Qing faces will be difficult for Lu Liang. Not a problem.
“Refreshing.”
Lu Liang smiled, put away the materials, and planned to leave.
"Mr. Lu, do you need help?"
Seeing that Lu Liang was about to leave, Li Junyi hurriedly asked.
The problem of domestic review is not a problem for Lu Liang, but he still has to face problems from within Didi and abroad.
If Lu Liang needs help, he can mention it to them and they will try their best to help within their duties.
Lu Liang thought for a while: "Not yet, let's talk about it when we encounter problems later."
His biggest problem is the Liu family, but if he thinks about it carefully, he knows that it is impossible for Li Junyi to help him.
As supervisors, they will not go down personally, otherwise they would not find him again and again.
"Okay, you can call me anytime."
Lu Liang left the restaurant and returned to the SOHO building.
Suddenly I received a call from the Protocol Department. On the 8th of next month, Lao Te planned to come over for a three-day state visit.
One of the itineraries on the second day is to meet with entrepreneurs from both countries and jointly meet with reporters.
Lu Liang was invited, and the person in charge of the Protocol Department asked him if he had time in those days. Not only him, but also twelve people including Lao Ma, Lei Jun, and Fuyao's Lao Cao.
Lu Liang agreed without hesitation.
But after the call ended, I couldn’t help but wonder: “Have the places been reserved long ago, or was it just tentative before and has it been officially finalized now?”
He had just finished his meeting with Li Junyi and intervened in Didi. He was fully responsible for the listing and was determined not to let the information leak.
Get invited now and become one of the twelve entrepreneurs across the country invited to participate in the business forum summit between the two countries.
Such a coincidence made it difficult for him not to think nonsense.
"It should be just a coincidence. After all, this guy, Lao Te, has been thinking about me for more than a day or two."
Lu Liang soon rejected the conspiracy theory because Fuyao's boss Cao Cao and Suning's Lao Zhang were both invited.
If we only use social status and corporate influence as criteria, the two of them are even less qualified than Lu Liang.
The only thing they have in common is that they have investments in the United States, and they have all met Lao Te.
