The name of the man who came in was Huang Shilin, an old classmate of Zeng Yuqun in his hometown of Ningde No. 1 Middle School. In the past, he heard that Zeng Yuqun had resigned from a state-owned enterprise in Fujian, so he resolutely followed him and went south to join Zeng Yuqun in Guancheng. Now that Zeng Yuqun is starting a business, he naturally did not forget to call him
Join this old classmate.
After listening to Huang Shilin's words, Zeng Yuqun frowned and said, "How can I have time to socialize now? The battery inflator problem has not been solved yet."
Huang Shilin said: "The people here today are different. You must meet them."
Chen Tanghua asked: "Who is it? It's still a must."
Huang Shilin said: "Lu Yiming."
"Huh? Lu Yiming?"
"Lu Yiming, the richest man in Mainland China?"
Zeng Yuqun, Chen Tanghua and Liang Shaokang looked at each other and were all shocked.
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 need can be solved immediately!
In the company's reception room, Lu Yiming met the founders of CATL in front of him.
In the days before Lu Yiming was reborn, when he last looked at the market, CATL's stock price was 445.77, with a total market value of 1.09 trillion yuan.
But the few bosses in front of us, who will be worth hundreds of billions in the future, are now crying out for money.
"Hello, I am Lu Yiming, the founder of Future Capital."
After all, this is Xiangjiang, so among Lu Yiming's many industries, Future Capital has the highest reputation.
Sure enough, after hearing the words Future Capital, the expressions on the faces of Zeng Yuqun and others became serious.
As an old superior, Chen Tanghua spoke first and said: "The name of the richest man in Lu is well-known. Everyone says that you became famous at a young age and a business wizard. When I see you today, you are really young. As the saying goes, the waves behind you in the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the idle youth
It’s really shocking that people can have such ability. 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."
After everyone introduced each other, Zeng Yuqun asked: "I wonder what you are doing with Mr. Lu's sudden visit?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said: "I am here on behalf of Future Capital, and of course I am here to invest. I am very optimistic about this project you are doing, and I plan to invest 100 million US dollars in exchange for 40% of the equity."
One hundred million!
Dollars!
That’s more than 800 million yuan!
For Zeng Yuqun and others who are currently strapped for funds, this is simply sending carbon in the snow, and it is piled up into a mountain of carbon.
Zeng Yuqun and others all felt a little short of breath.
"Mr. Lu, are you kidding? One hundred million US dollars, this..."
Chen Tanghua knows very well that if Lu Yiming sincerely invests 100 million US dollars, then they can safely and boldly conduct experiments, and they will definitely be able to completely solve the battery bulge problem!
As for the 40% of the shares, they just automatically ignored it.
If the company cannot survive, wouldn’t 40% of the shares still be worth nothing?
On the contrary, if we can make technological breakthroughs as soon as possible and enter the mass production stage, then even if only 60% is 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 had no intention of buying the company from the beginning and then giving them some options or something to make them work hard, because it was impossible.
Real talents are often arrogant and ambitious, and will not work for others forever.
In his previous life, Zeng Yuqun sold New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. to his old employer TDK Group, but in 2011, Zeng Yuqun resigned with him and started a second business. Now if Lu Yiming buys
If you become a new energy company, you will end up like TDK Group.
The company actually means nothing, what matters is the people.
Therefore, for entrepreneurs like this who have ideas and are more decisive, what Lu Yiming has to do is to give them money, let them do the hard work on their own, and then sit back and enjoy their achievements.
You know, those investors who invested in CATL have made a lot of money.
Everyone has nothing to say about Lu Yiming's generosity.
This is the power of the richest man.
The company they co-founded has only been around for a year now, and they haven't had time to make any achievements. Let alone 100 million US dollars, even if it sells for 10 million US dollars, no one is likely to be willing to take over.
This bid gave Zeng Yuqun and others an unreal feeling like they were in a dream.
"Mr. Lu, do you think New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is worth US$250 million?"
Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said: "This shabby company is nothing."
Zeng Yuqun: "..."
Chen Tanghua: "..."
Liang Shaokang: "..."
Huang Shilin: "..."
Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Lu Yiming said: "What is the most important thing in the 21st century? I think it is talent! You are worth 250 million US dollars, or even more. The company is just incidental. As a start-up,
You are still willing to delve into technology and engage in independent research and development. This alone is commendable. And I heard that you recently bought the patented polymer lithium battery technology that was abandoned by Nokia?"
Seeing that Lu Yiming valued their value so highly, Zeng Yuqun and others were quite moved. After all, in the eyes of some people, they were just a group of nerds who only knew how to do technology.
Zeng Yuqun was a little surprised and asked: "How did Mr. Lu know?"
They have always been very careful about keeping this matter secret and have never mentioned it to outsiders. As for the United States, they will not spread the news widely.
Lu Yiming showed a mysterious smile and said, "I have my own sources of information."
Zeng Yuqun saw that Lu Yiming already knew about it and did not hide it. He told the truth: "Yes, we bought this patent, but the research progress is not going well. It is not without reason that this technology was abandoned by Nokia. Nokia is so
We take things for granted that no other company has figured out."
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 was just a layman and knew nothing about battery technology.
However, what he didn't expect was that Lu Yiming really knew the key to the development of this polymer lithium battery.
After all, the Ningde era was at its peak in the future, and Zeng Yuqun's early entrepreneurial stories were widely circulated on the Internet. As a senior "expert on sudden wealth", Lu Yiming - commonly known as Lao Jiuci - had naturally read these articles.
Lu Yiming faced the somewhat annoyed Zeng Yuqun and said with a smile: "You can try to open your mind a little more. Have you ever thought that the inflation phenomenon of polymer lithium batteries has nothing to do with the battery itself, but with the content of the battery?"
Is it related to the electrolyte?”
"Um?"
Lu Yiming's light words were like a thunder, exploding above the heads of Zeng Yuqun and others.
Everyone present looked at Lu Yiming in shock.
Chen Tanghua blurted out: "Mr. Lu, do you still understand this?"
Lu Yiming said very humbly: "I understand a little bit, just a little bit."
Zeng Yuqun suddenly slapped his forehead and made a "pop" sound, which shocked everyone.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that? Mr. Lu, your words really woke up the dreamer."
In fact, this research direction was originally thought of by Zeng Yuqun after countless trials and errors. At the beginning, he, like everyone else in the company, was too superstitious about American technology. Afterwards, he tried all kinds of methods, but still failed.
Unable to find a way forward, I had to go back and check all the details again, and finally discovered that the problem was not technical, but rather the electrolyte composition of the battery.
The most important thing in scientific research is not effort or even talent, but direction.
If you are in the right direction, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
But finding the right direction is often the hardest.
So most of the time, you have to do trial and error, which will waste a lot of money and time, leading to a surge in costs. This is why although many technologies and ideas of startup companies can make people shine, most of them still fail.
reasons.
Zeng Yuqun said excitedly: "This must be the problem! Hahaha, now we have found the right direction, the future of polymer lithium batteries is already bright, and the company can definitely rely on this flagship product to become famous!"
Seeing Zeng Yuqun beaming with joy, 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 was rich and well-connected, and had just mentioned his research direction on polymer lithium batteries, Zeng Yuqun immediately recognized Lu Yiming.
Lu Yiming said: "So, bosses, do you think we can hold a meeting to confirm this investment? Who is willing to sell the shares?"
"I can help a little."
"I'll give you some too."
In the face of huge interests, several shareholders, including Chen Tanghua and Liang Shaokang, were willing to sell their shares to Lu Yiming in exchange for real money.
In the end, Lu Yiming got his wish and became one of the major shareholders of New Energy Technology.
