Chapter 447 The matter in the capital is over
Lu Liang smiled and took a sip of coffee: "Mr. Liu, if you lose your confidence now, how can you win in the future?"
Liu Qing was silent After a few seconds, he suddenly said with a smile: "Maybe I wrote a bad check to you, Mr. Lu, don't you have confidence?"
"Provoke me?" Lu Liang smiled.
Liu Qing nodded: "Can you bear it?"
Lu Liang suddenly laughed, stood up and stretched out his right hand: "I hope you can show your dignity and don't ask me to help you show your dignity."
Liu Qing smiled like a flower and stood up to shake hands: "It's not certain who will win. !”
The two looked at each other, and their grudges disappeared.
Liu Qing left, Lu Liang looked at her back and admired from the bottom of his heart: "Who said women are inferior to men."
He really likes Liu Qing and appreciates it. If he can Helping him will definitely make his daily life much easier.
Unfortunately it's not possible.
Before he finished his cup of coffee, Lu Liang received two calls, one from Fang Shiyu and the other from Cheng Wei.
He told the address, and a few minutes later, an old man about 1.9 meters tall came over in a hurry, holding a thermos cup in hand.
Fang Shiyu smiled naively: "Brother, I got the medicine back. Drink it twice a day for three days in a row."
Lu Liang paused slightly, opened the thermos cup, and drank in small sips: "No pain as imagined."
Fang Shiyu said: "Because there are honeysuckle and dandelions, my grandfather often cooked it for us to drink when we were young."
Lu Liang was slightly absent-minded, his eyes full of memories: "At that time, Lu Ya and I often followed our grandfather into the mountains. You also Xiao, if I don’t take you there, you will always cry.”
“Really?” Fang Shiyu was confused.
"Yes." Lu Liang said with a smile on his face, very confident, talking about returning home for the Mid-Autumn Festival some time ago and having a meal at his uncle's house.
He said: "The new house is quite grand. I can move into it by the end of the year. Then I will buy a mobility scooter for my uncle."
Fang Shiyu nodded solemnly, feeling warm in his heart. There were some things he didn't want to say, but he didn't know how to express them.
His salary is very high, almost thirty thousand yuan per month, and he also gets a generous year-end bonus at the end of the year.
Throughout the year, Lu Liang arranged food, clothing, housing and transportation for him, basically without spending a penny.
He just graduated from high school and served as a soldier for several years. He always felt sorry for such a high income.
Lu Liang saw his old cousin's troubled expression and knew that he was being pretentious again. He smiled and said, "Wait for me in the parking lot. I will go out and give you a call later."
Fang Shiyu nodded. Not long after he left, Cheng Wei came quickly, curious: "Mr. Lu, where is Mr. Liu?"
"Just left." Lu Liang drank the Chinese medicine in one breath and opened a bag. Throwing a candy into his mouth, he smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with Didi, it's just the fund company, over there."
Cheng Wei smiled awkwardly , hurriedly said: "Mr. Lu, I definitely have no doubts about you."
Lu Liang smiled and skipped the topic: "I have nothing to do here for the time being, I will send Secretary Xu Stay. Mr. Cheng, I’ll take care of you during my absence.”
“No problem.”
Cheng Wei asked when the listing review would be repeated again, and Lu Liang said: "If it's quick, it will be on the 20th."
He just took a look and saw that the materials Liu Qing was responsible for submitting for review last time were almost the same from the ground up. It's two meters high.
Those data must be re-integrated and then updated with the latest data for this quarter. The amount of work is destined to be huge.
“What about the Ministry of Commerce?” Cheng Wei asked again.
“Do your best and obey destiny.”
After leaving Didi's New Chenghai Building, Lu Liang came to the headquarters of Li Auto to attend the shareholders' meeting.
Half a year after its launch, the Ideal One has sold more than 20,000 units, creating a slight opening in the high-end automobile field.
Nowadays, no one laughs at the refrigerator, color TV, large sofa, or the extended program that was called taking off pants and farting when it was first launched.
So Li Xiang struck while the iron was hot and convened a shareholders' meeting. Lu Liang was also in the capital, so he stopped by to attend.
Li Xiang's face was full of joy and high spirits: "At a time when charging piles have not been widely popularized and battery capacity is limited, consumers have voted to make their choice. Extended range is the best choice at the moment."
At the beginning, he fought against the public opinion and the pressure from the public opinion and the employer to build the first extended-range tram, which was finally recognized by the market.
Fuel vehicles do not have refrigerators, color TVs, large sofas, or intelligent driving or assisted driving.
Pure electric vehicles have battery life concerns. During the National Day, there are countless pure electric vehicles stuck on the road or queuing up for charging.
Youdao is a good wind that can reach the sky in one fell swoop with its strength.
This National Day holiday, the pure electric car that broke down on the road directly introduced the name of extended range into thousands of households.
Other people's green-plate cars are still queuing up for charging, or they are stuck on the highway, and they don't even dare to turn on the air conditioner.
The ideal range-extenders are also green-plate cars. They start running whirringly after filling up with gas. This is the gap.
“Now is the prime time for development, so our decision-makers discussed and decided to implement the 100-store plan.”
Li Xiang is certainly not idle, calling investors from all over the world. Come here just to watch him show off.
The main reason is that the company has no money in its accounts again. The US$700 million raised last time was all used to increase production capacity.
There are currently only eight stores, all of which are located on the southern coast or in key economically developed cities.
So this time, he plans to add 92 offline experience stores to plant the ideal red flag across the country.
Unlike pure electric vehicles, whose battery life is cut in half in cold weather, their extended-range model can even knock on the door to the north.
This is an ideal Series C financing, with a valuation of US$5 billion, and plans to provide 10% equity financing.
“Everyone, this is also the last round of financing before the listing round.”
Li Xiang's eyes were filled with anticipation, but suddenly his high spirits were gone.
If Ideal can make a profit, then he dares to fight with investors directly. If he likes to invest, he will invest, and if he doesn’t, he will get out.
But even if the sales volume exceeds 20,000 units, Ideal is still in a loss-making stage, with a net loss of 1.45 billion yuan in the last quarter. In two and a half years, it has lost more than 8 billion yuan. These funds belong to the fathers of the funders here.
So if you should give in, you still have to give in.
Meituan Wang Xin asked: "Mr. Lu, what do you think?"
"Follow me, what else can we do? Let's help it go public first and then get the principal back." Lu Liang said with a smile.
Tianxing Investment has invested US$390 million in Li Auto several times and currently holds 18.5% of the shares.
The better their ideals develop, the more they will earn.
It’s just that Li Xiang is a second-time entrepreneur. Just like some good film and television projects, they will not flow to the market and be invested by outsiders.
Ideal was born with a golden key and received an initial investment of US$100 million, so unlike other start-up companies, it can bring dozens or hundreds of times of income to venture capital companies.
With a valuation of US$5 billion, they hold 18.5%, which is worth US$925 million, and the return rate is just more than double.
Wang Xin thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Lu has said so, Meituan and I can continue to follow."
He and Li Xiang are friends, so I invested in two shares, one was invested in my personal name when Ideal was founded.
The other one was Longzhu Capital under the name of Meituan. I saw that it had ideals and development potential, so I joined it later.
The heads of institutions such as Jingwei and Mingshi Capital also nodded after hearing this, and the four institutions once again pursued investment in this round.
The US$500 million financing plan ended in talks and laughter.
Li Xiang looked at Lu Liang, his eyes full of gratitude.
Lu Liang’s influence in the investment community has reached a level where there is no wind but a wave.
What he believes is the truth.
At least before he encounters a major failure, no matter what he invests in, there will be a leader effect.
After the meeting, Li Xiang found Lu Liang and had an idea. He was still hesitating whether to specialize in One or release a new car.
"What type?" Lu Liang asked.
"A large SUV with seven seats."
"No need, just wait two years."
Lu Liang thought of the ideal slogan 'A mobile home', He is probably planning to go all the way towards a luxury family car.
He said: "None of the luxury SUVs released by major brands in the past two years can match the sales of the Ideal One."
Although the One has been sold for half a year, it is comparable to the sales of the BMW X3 in one month. , but it is not a car problem, but a market problem.
Purchasing a tram for more than 300,000 yuan, it is still made in China or produced by Lifan factory, which may make people feel a little uncomfortable.
This kind of concept cannot be changed in a short time. It takes time for the people to slowly accept it.
Li Xiang chuckled: "Mr. Lu, actually I think so too."
Lu Liang laughed: "Is there anything else?"
"Mr. Lu, how are you thinking about your new car?"
"The new car is not on the same track as the ideal, so don't worry about it. Competition."
"That puts me at ease."
Li Xiang took a long breath. One's success made him not even pay attention to Tesla.
Only Tianxing always made him feel that he was a serious concern. After all, Lu Liang was so grim that even Didi dared to worry about him. He really couldn't think of anything that he couldn't do.
In the early stage, it was about research and development of smart driving and investment in building factories. In order to raise a complete industrial chain, a 300 billion fund was established to support a total of 18 related companies including BYD.
All kinds of generosity have made Tianxing Motors a serious concern for major new energy car companies even before it was launched. No one wants to compete with him in the same category.
Lu Liang stayed in the capital until the end of the National Day. He first went to Ideal and then to Douyin.
Finally, I returned to Didi, looked at the progress of the project, and returned to Shanghai in the early morning of the 7th.
He called Xiao Wang and Long Fei to pick him up at the airport and found a restaurant for a late-night snack: "Douyin will be online tomorrow."
At the beginning of last month, Douyin spent a billion dollars to acquire Musical.ly in North America. , successfully changed from pirated to genuine.
After more than 800 million people and more than a year of training, the recommendation algorithm came to the European and American markets as a proper dimensionality reduction blow.
TK, which was not involved in any lawsuits, quickly climbed to the top of Apple’s download list, where it remains today.
In just one month, the number of international daily active users has increased from 89 million to 360 million, and is still increasing rapidly.
China is almost dominating the short video market, so Yang Zhenyuan proposed at the meeting that Doudian will go online tomorrow and officially enter the field of live streaming and e-commerce.
Xiao Wang and Long Fei looked at each other, and they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes. This day has finally come.
Panda and Douyu Huya can fight each other, but facing Douyin, they have no power to fight back.
Long Fei couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lu, do you have any better suggestions?"
Lu Liang laughed dumbly and shook his head: "I don't know, I don't understand, I don't have any suggestions. .”
Douyin’s valuation reaches US$35 billion, and he holds 7.07% of the shares, worth US$2.473 billion.
Douyin is not yet ideal. Only a few of their domestic institutions are amusing themselves. They have long accepted investments from international capitals such as Temasek, Saudi Arabia, SoftBank Group, and even BlackRock, which shows that They recognize this value.
On the other hand, Panda is now heavily hyped by Wall Street institutions and its market value is only US$15 billion. How can it compete with Douyin?
He really couldn't think of it.
The upper limits of the two are not in the same dimension at all.
