Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 579 Morgan Group
In the past few years, because of the self-developed maintenance-free lead-acid battery technology, Lei Tian emerged in the market when it first entered the market.Just at this time, domestic recording equipment was very popular, and Zhong Leitian could be said to have caught up with the trend and made a lot of money.

Therefore, when investing in the construction of a battery factory, Zhong Leitian had no financial pressure.

Batteries at that time were mainly used to drive small electronic products, and the capacity of most lithium battery cells did not exceed 2AH.If you can provide a battery with a capacity of more than 50AH, you can drive the car. This is the real purpose of Zhong Leitian's founding of Leitian Group.

In 90, the 13AH cylindrical single lithium-ion battery developed by Zhong Leitian caused a sensation in the industry. A company in the United States took a fancy to this and was willing to invest [-] billion to form a company with him.

Just when Zhong Leitian thought that he was going to become a great success and reached the pinnacle of his life, the battery he developed exploded, and even burned the entire car, and the matter of forming a company was naturally over.

The status of Leitian Group also plummeted, many shareholders withdrew their capital one after another, and the change in the market trend also made the recording equipment not as easy to sell as before. Various unfavorable factors caused Zhong Leitian to be depressed for several years.

But he did not give up, and he was still developing new technologies in private, wanting to regain the market.

However, technology research and development is not a matter of brainstorming. It requires constant trial and error and burning money. However, because of the battery explosion before, many people have concerns about this, fearing that the investment will be in vain, and refuse to inject more capital.

Just when Zhong Leitian was in danger, Lu Ding approached him with investment, and the two parties naturally hit it off.

Talking about this matter, Lu Ding is also beaming.

"Not long ago, Leitian Group's new project was successful, and it developed a rare-earth yttrium-iron-lithium battery that disrupted the industry. I heard that after testing, this new technology can provide power batteries for pure electric vehicles. Using rare-earth The Hongqi pure electric vehicle with yttrium-iron-lithium battery can be fully charged in 10 minutes, and the driving range can reach 350 kilometers!"

Undoubtedly, this is what electro-optic vehicles are in urgent need of. For so-called new energy vehicles, "energy" is the key, and battery technology is the top priority.

"Two fully charged in 10 minutes, with a driving range of 350 kilometers? Is this true?"

Lu Yiming felt as if he was listening to a fairy tale.

This is [-], why is super fast charging so powerful?
From Lu Yiming's point of view, of course he knew what this meant.At the beginning, BYD surpassed Volkswagen in North and South, and those domestic passenger car sales champions relied on electric vehicles.According to Lei Tian Group's way of doing things, if Lu Yiming is behind to help the flames, this achievement may be achieved ten years earlier!
"Dad, you've made a lot of money from your investment. Science and technology are the primary productive forces. With this technology, we can not only obtain huge profits, but also increase our influence around the world."

There is no need to talk about economic benefits, but Lu Yiming asked suspiciously: "Influence worldwide? Is it that exaggerated?"

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "Of course, my country's rare earth reserves currently account for 30.00% of the world's six, and 80.00% of the world's rare earths are imported from Xia. Therefore, my country has an inherent advantage in the field of rare earth batteries. Forget it, this will be in the future." Something happened, I am very interested in this Zhong Leitian now, where is he now? This person is too powerful."

Lu Yiming did not exaggerate the facts, but the rare earth yttrium-iron-lithium battery developed by Zhong Leitian is really awesome.

The charging standard is 700AH, and the energy density can reach 150WH/KG~190WH/KG.It is also resistant to high temperatures and supports repeated charging. The emergence of rare earth yttrium-iron-lithium batteries can be said to have greatly broadened the scope of use of batteries and solved the world-class problem of insufficient energy storage when new energy vehicles were first conceived.

Most importantly, the current Leitian Group does not have any competitors in the market!
We must know that Ningde era, which will occupy "half of the world" in the global power battery market in the future, has not yet been established at this time, and BYD, Xiaguo Automobile's first stock, will not get a car license until three years later.

Therefore, in front of Lei Tian, ​​many industry bosses in later generations are now a group of "stinky younger brothers". Zhong Leitian can become the "King of Xia Guo Battery" just because of this.

Thunder Sky Group headquarters.

With the trump card of rare earth yttrium-iron-lithium battery, Zhong Leitian can be said to have ushered in the pinnacle moment of his life. All kinds of capital who originally disliked him have obviously come to seek cooperation, even kneeling and licking, just to get some Shares of Lei Tian Group.

Even a fool now knows that the take-off of Lei Tian Group has become inevitable.

On the other hand, Zhong Leitian behaved quite rebelliously, he ignored the domestic investors, and only vented his anger because he had nowhere to ask for help.

In the office, seeing Zhong Leitian reject an investment again, Vice President Tian An couldn't help but smile wryly: "Boss Lei, is it almost there? It seems to offend people if it goes on like this, but it's actually unnecessary."

Zhong Leitian said triumphantly: "Yesterday, they ignored me, but today, they can't afford me! Offending people? No, in 20 years, no company in the world can catch up with Leitian. I have this Confidence. These investors, when begging them, look at people one by one. Now that it’s all over, seeing that I’m about to get rich again, they come over to curry favor one by one, what the hell.”

Tian An was also quite helpless about this, but he had nothing to do with Zhong Leitian. After all, he was famous in the company for going his own way, and his temper was more stubborn than a donkey since he was a child.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang, but Zhong Leitian didn't want to answer it, and said, "Look, there's another one. These people, the icing on the cake is more active than a dog with meaty bones. The matter of giving charcoal in the snow It's nothing."

Tian An didn't even bother to talk to Zhong Leitian, so he walked over to pick up the receiver and said, "Hello? Hello, this is Leitian Group."

It was Lu Yiming who called, and he said, "Hi, I'm Lu Yiming, and my dad drives the photoelectric car. My dad invested in your Leitian Group some time ago."

"The richest man in Lu?"

Hearing Lu Yiming's self-reported family name, Tian An was shocked immediately.

After all, Optoelectronics is now the major shareholder of Leitian Group. Of course, Leitian Group has to investigate Optoelectronics. Naturally, it knows that Lu Ding, the owner of Optoelectronics, is the father of the richest man, Lu Yiming.

Tian An covered the receiver and said to Zhong Leitian in a low voice: "The call is from the richest man in Lu."

At this time, Zhong Leitian was already inflated to the limit, so even though he knew that the call was from Lu Yiming, he didn't take it seriously, and acted very coldly: "What does he want to do?"

Tian An picked up the receiver again, and said enthusiastically: "The richest man in Lu is calling, what's your business?"

Lu Yiming said: "I'm very interested in your company's technology, and I'm also very interested in the person who can develop such a powerful technology, so I want to meet Mr. Zhong."

Tian An said to Zhong Leitian: "The richest man in Lu wants to meet you."

Zhong Leitian said flatly: "I'm not free today, let's talk about it when I want to see him."

Tian An felt that Zhong Leitian's answer was too much to be beaten, so he said: "For those who want to pick peaches, it's fine if you put on a face, the richest man in Lu is the one who gives us charcoal in a timely manner, and you do the same?"

Zhong Leitian looked reluctant, and said: "Hey, well, then I will give him a chance, it is eleven o'clock in the morning, and let him come to the company at three o'clock in the afternoon. He is just the richest man in the country, I have a battery With the technology in hand, this place might be mine in a few months."

Hanging up the phone, Tian An was about to have a good talk with Zhong Leitian, but Zhong Leitian's secretary knocked on the door and came in, saying: "Mr. Zhong, the Morgan Group in the United States has sent a representative and wants to make an appointment at the door. When do you have time? ?”

"Morgan Group in America?"

Zhong Leitian stood up suddenly, with a surprised expression on his face, he couldn't help rubbing his hands and said: "The Morgan Group sent a representative to come to talk to us? It must be my battery technology that impressed them. Where are they now? ?”

The secretary looked at his watch and said, "They are still in Zhonghai. They can come over anytime if we make an appointment."

Zhong Leitian urged: "Then what are you waiting for? I have time now, just let them come over directly—"

Just halfway through the conversation, Zhong Leitian changed the subject and said, "We'll go to the airport to meet them."

Zhong Leitian dared to show favor to domestic capital, but he didn't dare to show off in front of the foreigners. What's more, as an entrepreneur who regards money as his life, Zhong Leitian has long been thinking about letting his company go public to collect money.

Among them, US stocks are naturally the first choice, so facing the Morgan Group, he was extremely enthusiastic.

On the other side, Lu Yiming finished the phone call, checked the time, and said to Li Yiwen beside him, "The other side said three o'clock in the afternoon. Let's drive there now and have lunch at noon. It's almost time. Cousin, let's go."

Zhao Tiezhu drove the car and took Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen to Zhuhai.

After lunch, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen came to the headquarters of Leitian Group. After explaining their intentions, the girl at the front desk said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, Mr. Zhong is now at the airport to welcome the Morgan Group delegation. I'll be back, can you wait a moment?"

Li Yiwen looked at his watch and said, "It's already 10:[-], and there are only [-] minutes left before the [-] o'clock we agreed on. What do you mean you only accept foreigners and not us? Dogs look down on people?"

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Maybe Boss Zhong is a master of time management. Don't be impatient. There are still 10 minutes left."

"Ok."

The girl at the front desk took them to the rest area next to them and poured tea for them.Li Yiwen said to Lu Yiming: "What's going on? Why didn't you just invite us to their chairman's office? Isn't that too impolite?"

Lu Yiming joked: "Cousin, you are drifting away, you haven't come back yet, calm down."

Soon, 10 minutes passed. Lu Yiming looked at his watch and found that it was the appointed time, so he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Undoubtedly, this time management master's kung fu seems a bit inadequate.

Li Yiwen said: "Look, I just said, these people don't understand etiquette."

While talking, a group of people walked in, the leader was Zhong Leitian, the chairman of Leitian Group.And behind Zhong Leitian, followed by a group of foreign devils.

"Good guy, I said why this guy is so ignorant, so he went to meet foreign devils."

Li Yiwen said something, then straightened his clothes, and walked towards Zhong Leitian.

However, Zhong Leitian didn't seem to see the two of them, although he was close at hand, he didn't even say hello, just nodded and bowed to those foreign devils with a flattering look on his face.

It's not that Lu Yiming can't understand the difference in time. After all, people are not machines and computer programs, and they can set as many as they want, so it's completely understandable for chatting to time out.

But out of politeness, it is always necessary to explain the situation to the people behind and get an understanding.

But looking at Zhong Leitian like this now, he simply ignored the existence of Lu Yiming and others.

This is not something that timeouts can explain.

Seeing Zhong Leitian lead people into the elevator, Li Yiwen immediately scolded: "We have given Zhong Leitian enough face by paying a visit without hesitation, but what kind of attitude does he have? It's just too deceitful!"

Lu Yiming frowned, but didn't say anything, and sat back to drink tea.

Li Yiwen said: "Let's go, what else is there to talk about? There is no sincerity, even if we talk about cooperation in the future, maybe we will be tricked."

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Don't worry, finish this cup of tea first, and then ask him for an explanation."

Although he was smiling, Lu Yiming's smile revealed a bit of coldness, obviously he was also very dissatisfied with Zhong Leitian's behavior.

In the chairman's office, Zhong Leitian showed another pile of materials to the representative of Morgan Group, Myron Kern, and explained them enthusiastically.

Unknowingly, half an hour passed, and Zhong Leitian said: "Mr. Kern, I thought I had explained the situation of our company to you along the way, what do you think?"

The Morgan Group is still very interested in the products of the Leitian Group, which is why they sent Myron Kern to lead the team to negotiate.

You know, Myron Kern's rank in the Morgan system is not low.

With the "electric frenzy" of rare earth yttrium-iron-lithium batteries in the world, Leitian has obtained patent licenses in dozens of countries and regions, and plans to establish production bases such as Leitian in the United States and Leitian in Finland. Funding up.

And within the Morgan Group, Lei Tian's rare earth lithium battery technology is directly valued at 100 billion US dollars.

That's $100 billion!

If someone buys it and Zhong Leitian is willing to sell it, his wealth will surpass Lu Yiming overnight and become the richest man in Xia Kingdom.

It is precisely because of this that Zhong Lei will ignore Lu Yiming, even though Lu Ding is the major shareholder of Lei Tian Group.

In contrast, Zhong Leitian hopes that his products can go abroad and go to the world, so he is eager to cooperate with a company like Morgan Group that has a huge influence in the capital market all over the world.

Myron Kern nodded slightly, and said: "It's really good. I have fully understood the situation. I will report to the company when I go back, and then we will continue to talk about in-depth cooperation."

"Good, good, good."

Zhong Leitian said three good words one after another. Obviously, he was full of expectations for the cooperation with Morgan Group.

A valuation of 100 billion US dollars.

This is just the beginning, as long as it works well, there will be more than 100 billion in the future?

"Mr. Kern, it was really pleasant talking with you. I think I should treat you to dinner and have a few drinks, so that I can express my mood at the moment."

Myron Kern smiled, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I'm also looking forward to Xia Guo's delicacies."

A group of people left the office and went downstairs.What Zhong Leitian didn't expect was that Lu Yiming hadn't left yet.This made him feel a little embarrassed, secretly scolding Lu Yiming for his lack of understanding of the world.

There is no doubt that with the cooperation of Morgan Group, Zhong Leitian will not look at Lu Yiming directly.

Now Lu Yiming is still not leaving, and judging by his posture, he is still waiting for Zhong Leitian.

Li Yiwen said to Lu Yiming, "He's here."

Lu Yiming nodded slightly, got up and walked towards Zhong Leitian.

However, at this moment, Myron Kern, who had always been arrogant, turned towards Lu Yiming with a gentle expression as if he had seen some idol after seeing Lu Yiming.After a long distance, he stretched out his right hand and said hello, "Is this Mr. Lu? I'm Myron Kern from Morgan Group. I had the honor to meet you when you were in America."

As he said that, he hurriedly took out his business card and said, "This is my business card."

Lu Yiming stared at Myron Kern for a while, only to feel that he looked familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember any connection between him and this person.

Although his memory has improved a lot after rebirth, he is half-face-blind to foreigners. Except for characters like Bill Gates who can be seen in textbooks since childhood, the rest of him is It's really hard to tell.

Lu Yiming took the business card, smiled slightly, shook hands with Myron Kern, and said, "Hello."

Myron Kern was as happy as a child.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Leitian and Tian An, who were following behind, immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, completely confused about the situation in front of them.

Why do people from the Morgan Group treat the richest man Lu so respectfully?

The two of them had no idea how famous Lu Yiming's reputation was in the American financial circle. Although many financial giants in the US stock market hated Lu Yiming, a foreign opponent, more people envied the profitability of Saltwater Fund. .

All the people who hang out with Lu Yiming have made a lot of money now.

The power of role models is infinite. The Morgan Group had always wanted to get in touch with Lu Yiming before, but they had no chance.

That's why Myron Kern was so excited. Meeting Lu Yiming in Lei Tian Group was a surprise for him, and it made him happier than winning the lottery.

Myron Kern said to Lu Yiming: "I'm so happy to see you in Xiaguo. May I have the honor to invite you to dinner?"
