Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 581 So Packed
The person who came in was Huang Shilin, an old classmate of Zeng Yuqun in his hometown of Ningde No. [-] Middle School. In the past, he heard that Zeng Yuqun had resigned from a state-owned enterprise in Fujian, so he followed him resolutely, and went south to meet Zeng Yuqun in Guancheng.Now that Zeng Yuqun started his business, he naturally didn't forget to invite this old classmate to join him.

After listening to Huang Shilin's words, Zeng Yuqun frowned and said, "I don't have the time to socialize now, the problem of battery inflation has not been solved yet."

Huang Shilin said: "The people who come today are different, you must meet them."

Chen Tanghua asked: "Who? It's time to see each other."

Huang Shilin said, "Lu Yiming."

"Huh? Lu Yiming?"

"The richest man in the Mainland, Lu Yiming?"

Zeng Yuqun, Chen Tanghua and Liang Shaokang looked at each other in shock.

The name of the richest man is like thunder.

What's more, what the company lacks most now is funds. If the richest man is willing to invest, their urgent needs can be solved immediately!
In the company's meeting room, Lu Yiming met the founders of Ningde era.

In the few days before Lu Yiming's rebirth, when he checked the market for the last time, the stock price of Ningde Times was 445.77, with a total market value of 10900 trillion yuan.

And the few bigwigs who are worth hundreds of billions of dollars in front of them are now crying out for money.

"Hello, I'm Lu Yiming, the founder of Future Capital."

After all, this is Xiangjiang, so among Lu Yiming's many industries, Future Capital is the most famous.

Sure enough, after hearing the word Future Capital, the expressions on the faces of Zeng Yuqun and the others became serious.

As an old superior, Chen Tanghua spoke first, and said: "The richest man in Lu is famous. Everyone says you are a young man who became famous and a business genius. Seeing you today, you are really very young. As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the idle young It is really shocking that people can have such abilities. I am Chen Tanghua, Director of New Energy Technology Co., Ltd."

Zeng Yuqun also shook hands with Lu Yiming: "Welcome Mr. Lu, I am Zeng Yuqun, Chairman of New Energy Technology Co., Ltd."

Everyone introduced each other, and Zeng Yuqun asked, "I don't know what's the matter with Mr. Lu's sudden visit?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I'm here on behalf of Future Capital, of course I'm here to invest. I'm very optimistic about this project you're doing, and I plan to invest 40.00 million US dollars in exchange for [-]% of the equity."

[-] million!
US dollars!

That's more than [-] million yuan!
For Zeng Yuqun and others who are currently short of funds, this is simply sending carbon in a timely manner, and it is still piled up into a hill of carbon.

Zeng Yuqun and the others felt a little short of breath.

"Mr. Lu, are you joking? One hundred million dollars, this..."

Chen Tanghua knew very well that if Lu Yiming invested [-] million U.S. dollars sincerely, then they could safely and boldly conduct experiments, and they would be able to completely solve the problem of battery swelling!
As for the 40.00% shares, they just ignored it automatically.

If the company can't survive, isn't 40.00% of the shares still zero?
On the contrary, if we can break through the technology as soon as possible and enter the mass production stage, even if there is only 60.00% left, everyone can still make a lot of money!
Lu Yiming knew that the people in front of him were all geniuses with ideas and abilities, so he never planned to buy the company from the beginning, and then give them some stock options to make them work hard, because it was impossible.

Real talents are often arrogant and ambitious, and will not always work for others.

In the previous life, Zeng Yuqun sold New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. to his old owner, TDK Group, but in [-], Zeng Yuqun resigned with him and started a second business.Now if Lu Yiming buys the new energy company, he will end up with the TDK Group at that time.

In fact, the company is not fart, the important thing is the people.

Therefore, for this kind of entrepreneurs who have ideas and are more decisive, what Lu Yiming has to do is to give them money, let them make troubles by themselves, and then sit back and enjoy their achievements.

You know, every one of those investors who invested in the Ningde era made a lot of money.

Everyone has nothing to say about Lu Yiming's generous writing.

This is the power of the richest man.

The business they jointly founded has only been a year old, and they haven't had time to make any achievements. Let alone 1000 million US dollars, even if it sells for [-] million, no one is likely to be willing to take over the offer.

This bid made Zeng Yuqun and the others feel as if they were falling into a dream and felt unreal.

"Mr. Lu, do you think New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is worth 5000 million US dollars?"

Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said, "This shitty company isn't a fart."

Zeng Yuqun: "..."

Chen Tanghua: "..."

Liang Shaokang: "..."

Huang Shilin: "..."

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Lu Yiming said: "What is the most important thing in the 21st century? I think it is talent! You are worth 5000 million US dollars, or even more. The company is just incidental. As a start-up, you are still willing to Deeply cultivating technology and engaging in independent research and development, this alone is commendable. And I heard that you recently bought the patented polymer lithium battery technology that was discarded by Nokia?"

Seeing that Lu Yiming valued them so highly, Zeng Yuqun and the others were quite moved.After all, in the eyes of some people, they are just a group of nerds who only know how to engage in technology.

Zeng Yuqun was a little surprised and asked, "How did Boss Lu know?"

They have always kept this matter very confidential, and have never mentioned it to outsiders. As for the United States, they will not spread the news if there is nothing wrong.

Lu Yiming showed a mysterious smile and said, "I have my own sources of information."

Seeing that Lu Yiming already knew about it, Zeng Yuqun did not hide it, and told the truth: "Yes, we bought this patent, but the research progress is not smooth, and it is not without reason that this technology was abandoned by Nokia. We take things for granted that the big companies don’t understand.”

Zeng Yuqun did not intend to explain the detailed research and development process to Lu Yiming in detail. After all, in his opinion, Lu Yiming is a layman who knows nothing about battery technology.

However, what he didn't expect was that Lu Yiming really knew the key to the research and development of this polymer lithium battery.

After all, the Ningde era is in full swing in the future, and stories about Zeng Yuqun's early entrepreneurship are also widely circulated on the Internet, and Lu Yiming, as a senior "expert in the study of sudden wealth"-commonly known as the old leek, has naturally read these articles.

Lu Yiming faced Zeng Yuqun, who was a little frustrated, and said with a smile; "You can try to let go of your thinking a little bit, have you ever thought that the inflation phenomenon of polymer lithium batteries has nothing to do with the battery itself, but with the inside of the battery? related to the electrolyte?"

"Ok?"

Lu Yiming's light words immediately exploded like a thunderclap above the heads of Zeng Yuqun and the others.

Everyone present looked at Lu Yiming in shock.

Chen Tanghua blurted out: "President Lu, do you still understand this?"

Lu Yiming said very humbly: "I understand a little, just a little."

Zeng Yuqun slapped his forehead suddenly and made a "pop", which startled everyone.

"That's right, why didn't I think of it? Mr. Lu, your words really awakened the dreamer."

In fact, this research direction was originally thought of by Zeng Yuqun after countless trials and errors. At the beginning, like everyone else in the company, he was too superstitious about American technology. I couldn't find a way forward, so I had to go back and check all the details again, and finally found that the problem was not the technology, but the electrolyte composition of the battery.

The most important thing in scientific research is not hard work, or even talent, but direction.

With the right direction, everything can be done with half the effort.

But finding the right direction is often the hardest.

So most of the time, trial and error has to be done, which will waste a lot of money and time, resulting in a surge in costs.This is also the reason that although many technologies and ideas of start-up companies can make people shine, most of them are stillborn.

Zeng Yuqun said excitedly: "This must be the problem! Hahaha, now that we have found the right direction, the future of polymer lithium batteries is already bright, and the company will definitely be able to make a name for itself with this blockbuster product!"

Seeing Zeng Yuqun's happy face, Lu Yiming took the opportunity to say: "I also have some connections in the United States. If Mr. Zeng wants to get in touch with the most cutting-edge knowledge and technology, I am willing to help introduce some foreign experts and scholars."

There is no doubt that Lu Yiming is showing his strength.

Seeing that Lu Yiming is rich and well-connected, and he just mentioned his research direction of polymer lithium battery, Zeng Yuqun immediately approved of Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming said: "Then, bosses, can you hold a meeting to confirm the investment? Who is willing to sell the shares?"

"I can make a little."

"Let's go out here too."

In the face of huge benefits, several shareholders including Chen Tanghua and Liang Shaokang were willing to sell their shares to Lu Yiming for real money.

In the end, Lu Yiming got his wish and became one of the major shareholders of New Energy Technology.

On the way back to the car, Li Yiwen raised his own question while looking at the documents: "40.00 million US dollars, buy [-]% of this company's shares? Brother, do you know the size of this company? The entire company can't make up a round table."

Lu Yiming did not answer Li Yiwen's question, but instead asked: "Recently, has the price of mobile phones in our country become cheaper and cheaper?"

Li Yiwen was surprised when he thought about it, and said, "This is really true. Mobile phones that used to cost seven to eight thousand yuan are now generally priced below 3000 yuan, and some mobile phones can even be bought for as little as five or six hundred yuan."

In the 80s, the price of mobile phones generally exceeded [-] to [-].

With the popularization of digital mobile phones, prices began to get lower and lower.

By this year, the Nokia 5000, which costs more than 8910 yuan, has been released, which is already a relatively expensive high-end mobile phone.

The Nokia 8250 and 8310 are the two hottest mid-range phones nowadays, with prices of 1790 and 2490 respectively.Like Ericsson's T65 and T29, the reputation and strength are slightly less, and they only sell for more than 1000 and [-].

Alcatel OT301 from France, as a representative of low-end mobile phones, even sold at an ultra-low price of 660 yuan. It can be said that mobile phones are no longer a luxury, but even working-class people can afford one. consumer electronics products.

Lu Yiming said to Li Yiwen: "The popularity of mobile phones means that the demand for lithium batteries will surge in the future. At this time, do you think the profits of investing in battery companies are big? And it's not just mobile phones. You think, after the popularity of mobile phones, notebook computers will Will it become popular? Society is always moving forward, and we should always take a long-term view, and don’t care about the gains and losses of one dollar or two dollars in front of us.”

Li Yiwen suddenly realized: "So the battery they made is promising?"

Lu Yiming said: "Yes, according to the statistics and predictions of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the sales volume of mobile phones in our country will exceed 8000 million this year, and every mobile phone needs at least one lithium battery, and many people even like to buy more batteries. In exchange, think about it, if the polymer battery in Zeng Yuqun's hands is successfully developed, how much money can I earn from my investment?"

Following Lu Yiming's narration, Li Yiwen's breathing became short of breath.

"In this way, Zeng Yuqun and the others are completely on the cusp of starting a business this time. When the turmoil of this era comes, I'm afraid even a pig will be blown away."

Holding the technical patent of polymer lithium battery in his hand, and just catching up with the good times when Xia people popularized mobile phones, it is really difficult not to make money.

Of course, this money should indeed be earned by Zeng Yuqun and the others. After all, they are a technology-based start-up company engaged in technology research and development in a down-to-earth manner, not relying on hype, let alone marketing.

The Leitian Group failed in the end because after Zhong Leitian developed a new type of battery, he was obsessed with drilling and playing with capital, and finally played a good pair of cards to pieces.

If Zhong Leitian could steadily engage in R&D and make products, there would be no Ningde era at all.

Afterwards, Li Yiwen praised Lu Yiming again, saying: "Cousin, you are still awesome, you can pull gold out of the sand."

Lu Yiming said: "It's not that I have a good vision, but that they are gold in the first place. Even without me, they can still achieve success. My appearance just speeds up the process."

Li Yiwen became more and more enthusiastic as he talked: "I found that you seem to like investing in this kind of technologically innovative companies."

Lu Yiming said calmly: "Because technological innovation can often subvert the existing market, so as to bring the greatest benefits. What's more, high technology is the core and most important cornerstone of a country. Compared with investing in stocks and real estate, I I hope that the comprehensive national strength of Xia Kingdom can be improved rapidly."

The bigger the business, the more you understand the importance of "background" and "backer".

Lu Yiming is from the Xia Kingdom, so his interests must be deeply tied to the Xia Kingdom. Without a strong motherland, he might not even be able to straighten his waist when doing business outside, and he might even be killed as a pig .

Therefore, within the scope of his ability, Lu Yiming still hopes that his motherland will become stronger and stronger to protect his business and investment abroad.

Without a strong country, how can there be a rich family?
What don't want the rise of a big country? Just the dignity of the small people. If you don't live in a big country, you can only be a cow and a horse at the bottom.Looking at the world, how many countries' citizens are still eating in the garbage dumps, how can there be any dignity at all?

Lu Yiming still understood this truth.

With Lu Yiming's financial support and Lu Yiming's suggestions, New Energy Technology changed its thinking and began to study the formula of the electrolyte. A breakthrough was made in a short period of time, and then a battery that would not bulge was successfully developed.

Under Lu Yiming's publicity and momentum, this new energy technology battery quickly became popular through various media reports.Anyway, bragging and no need to pay taxes, Lu Yiming has a few newspapers in his hand, and he also knows people from the TV station. As long as he spends money, these people can help you live if they die, not to mention that the battery itself is very good.

After a short operation, the limelight of new energy technology immediately overshadowed Lei Tian Group.After all, Leitian Group has developed a great product that caused a sensation in the industry and earned its reputation.But the name of new energy technology is not only based on excellent products, but also Lu Yiming's fancy publicity.

For example, in addition to the safety of batteries, Lu Yiming deliberately guided the battery of mobile phones and laptops, so that people can know at a glance that these things have a bright future and a lot of money.

After some bragging, even the Japanese-funded company TDK, the old owner, has already said that it is willing to spend one billion yuan to buy new energy technology.

This is not a valuation, but a real cash offer.

Even the "Approaching Science" column invited Zeng Yuqun to participate in a program to explain this battery.

New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. has a beaming atmosphere.

Chen Tanghua said: "After this battle, we have completely changed our minds. Before we begged our grandparents to sue our grandma, we couldn't get them to invest. Now those capitals are rushing to give us money."

Huang Shilin smiled and said: "Isn't it? Let me tell you about a person, Shen Peng from Sequoia Capital, are you familiar with him? I contacted him before, hoping that Sequoia Capital could invest in us, but he didn't even talk to him. Without saying anything, he just hung up on me. How about now, I received a call from him this morning, saying that he would come over to invite me to have morning tea in a few days. "

"Sequoia Capital?"

Hearing this name, Zeng Yuqun couldn't help but be surprised. After all, Sequoia Capital is an awesome existence.

Sequoia Capital was established in Silicon Valley, USA in 1972.In the years after its establishment, Sequoia, as the first institutional investor, invested in many innovative leading companies such as Apple, Google, Cisco, Oracle, Yahoo, Linkedin, etc.

New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. can be seen by Sequoia Capital, which in itself represents that the company has made great progress.

Huang Shilin said excitedly: "Yes, do you think we should get in touch with them?"

Liang Shaokang said: "I don't think it's right. Sequoia Capital is really awesome, but what we are hugging now is the thigh of Lu Yiming, the richest man in Xia Kingdom. Speaking of which, the richest man in Xia Kingdom is better than a foreign capital company, right?" ?”
