After hearing Da Qiangzi's words, Li Ze revealed an expression of 'I knew it'.
Then, he glanced at Da Qiangzi and said with a smile,""Qiangzi, I said before that I have high hopes for you. "I also said that whether you want to do e-commerce or chain stores, as long as you need it, you can come to me for financing at any time.”
"Now, I say the same thing.”
"So, how much money do you need?”
Hearing Li Ze's straightforwardness, Da Qiangzi was delighted. He quickly looked up at Li Ze and said,""Director Li, I hope to get 15 to 20 million yuan.”
"It's mainly used to expand the categories and to establish our own storage system. "
15 to 20 million…USD?”
Li Ze looked at Big Hadron.
Da Qiangzi was stunned and immediately waved his hand."No, no, it's Xia Country currency!”
Li Ze smiled and said,""Actually, there's no problem even if it's US dollars. However, it still depends on how much money you need at the moment.”
Da Qiangzi smiled and said,""Currently, we have about 15 to 20 million yuan in funds. It should be enough to support our development needs for a period of time.”
"Moreover, this should only be considered an angel round of funding. I want to wait until the Dog East Media Network is bigger before conducting A round of funding according to the development needs.”
"Mm, that works too."
Li Ze nodded and said,"Then I'll give you 20 million yuan as an angel investment." However, how many shares can you give me?”
Da Qiangzi hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Ze, and said tentatively,""25%. What do you think?"
Before he came here, his original plan was to sell 20% to 30% of the shares to Li Ze to obtain 15 to 20 million in financing.
Li Ze pondered for a moment.
25% of the shares…although it was still far from the 50% he had expected. However, considering that the amount of investment this time was only 20 million Chinese dollars.
Moreover, this was only an angel round investment, so 25% was still acceptable.
However, Li Ze made a request and said,""225% of shares for 20 million is acceptable. However, I have a request."
Seeing that Li Ze had already accepted it in principle, Big Hadron's spirits were lifted. He quickly asked,""Director Li, if you have any requests, just tell me.”
Li Ze smiled."Actually, it's nothing much. I just hope to get the priority to lead the voting in the next round, which is Round A."”
Big Hadron thought for a moment, this was not a problem at all.
He was not confident that he could build the mall. It was unknown if there would be any venture capital institutions that would be optimistic about his business.
As his angel investor, Li Ze valued him so much.
He agreed to exchange 20 million for 25% of the shares of Goudong Mall without bargaining. In Big Hadron's eyes, Li Ze was undoubtedly his talent.
Now, Li Ze only wanted the priority to lead the voting rights for the A round. This was nothing.
Therefore, Big Hadron immediately agreed.""Alright! I agree to this condition!"
Li Ze couldn't help but smile.
Although he had only obtained 25% of the shares of Goudong Mall through the angel round of investment, he could naturally continue to expand his share ratio when the A round of financing came.
Li Ze's requirements were not high. When Goudong Mall went public, it was enough to maintain 20% to 25% of the shares.
He had never thought of controlling the entire Goudong Mall, or even holding 40% to 50% of the shares when the mall went public.
That was unrealistic.
After all, this was an online e-commerce company. The early development would definitely require crazy burning of money and the introduction of multi-party capital.
It wasn't purely for the sake of funds. It was also to exchange resources with other capitals so that Goudong Mall could develop better.
Therefore, when it was time to go public, the shares of the shareholders would be diluted.
Therefore, Li Ze's hope was to maintain 20% to 25% of the shares until it went public.
After negotiating the investment with Da Qiangzi, Li Ze asked him about his thoughts and plans for the future development of Goudong Mall.
Li Ze also briefly told him about the future development model and various aspects of Goudong Mall that he had heard from his son.
This also benefited Big Hadron greatly.
As for the details of the investment agreement, Li Ze did not personally discuss it with Da Qiangzi. Instead, he handed it to Yu Bo, the executive vice president of Zerun Investment Company, to discuss it with Da Qiangzi.
Since there were no objections regarding the amount of funds and shares, it was easy to reach an agreement on some details.
Therefore, Yu Bo didn't talk to Da Qiangzi for a long time. Soon, he found a lawyer to draft an agreement…He
successfully got Li Ze's angel round investment and signed the agreement. At the same time, he also heard a lot about the future development direction of Goudong Mall from Li Ze.
Big Hadron felt that he had gained too much from this trip and returned to the capital with satisfaction.
With the money, Da Qiangzi immediately began a bold development plan for Goudong Mall as soon as he returned to the capital.
The first thing he needed to do was to let the previously hired technical staff continue to improve Goudong Mall.
The current Goudong Mall was actually very simple. The products sold on it only had text descriptions and dry product specifications.
He didn't even have any pictures, so his first step was to improve the mall so that users could have a better experience.
Then, Da Qiangzi started to contact the channel.
He started to open up the supply chain of products and expand the categories of products at the same time.
Before this, there were only about a hundred items on sale in the shop…
but these were not things that could be perfected in a short time.
After Li Ze gave Da Qiangzi the 20 million yuan investment, he only casually looked at the situation in Goudong Mall and did not pay much attention to it.
Since his son had made it clear that Da Qiangzi would turn Goudong Mall into the largest self-operated e-commerce platform in the country in the future, Li Ze had nothing to worry about.
This was just an investment by him, and not something that he could develop as his own business…The
investment in Goudong Mall was just an interlude in Li Ze's life.
His focus was still on Zerun Technology.
Although China had experienced the Spring Festival before, European countries did not celebrate the Spring Festival. Lin Yue, who had been transferred to Europe to develop the market, had been in charge of related matters for the past few months.
He had also been reporting the situation to Li Ze.
With the help of IDG and Sequoia, the two global international capitals, Zerun Technology successfully opened up sales channels in European countries.
Moreover, he had quickly occupied the market and achieved remarkable results in just over two months.
In February, the sales volume in the entire European market reached more than 130,000 units.
Although this number could not be compared to the US market, it was mainly because there were too many countries in Europe. They needed to open up the channels step by step.
All of this required time.
In many countries and cities, the sales channels were only opened at the end of January or even February.
However, as the channels in European countries were gradually opened up, it could be expected that the performance of the Z2 and D2 MP3 players in the European market would inevitably usher in a period of rapid growth
...
"President Li, this is the Fengchi No. 2 electric car that we developed. For the new Fengchi No. 2, we made some slight improvements to the controller and motor.”
"In addition, I've also communicated with Biadi and asked them to target the battery pack's performance. The current Fengchi No. 2 electric car's endurance was about 20% higher than the Fengchi No. 1.”
"The other thing is that the exterior has also been re-designed…" The
technical director, Liu Tiancheng, introduced the design to Li Ze.
In front of him was a brand-new electric car. It looked even more fashionable than the previous Fengchi No. 1.
In addition, the general manager of Fengchi Electric Bike, Song Ming, was also accompanying him.
Hearing this, Li Ze nodded slightly and said,""Very good! He wanted to mass produce the Fengchi No. 2 electric car as soon as possible and then launch it on the market.”
"Although there are currently no other manufacturers in the country that can compete with our Fengchi No. 1 electric car. However, we must always maintain a sense of crisis.”
"After all, technology will always advance. The electric vehicle market was also gradually expanding. With profits, there would naturally be competition.”
"We can't just rely on the Fengchi No. 1 electric car to continue living on our old capital. He had to continue to introduce new technologies and improve the performance of electric vehicles in all aspects.”
At this point, Li Ze paused for a moment and suddenly turned to look at Liu Tiancheng.""Regarding battery technology, is it possible for us to develop it ourselves?”
When Liu Tiancheng heard this, he felt a little awkward and said,""President Li, um…our company doesn't have any battery research and development talents.”
"Although our technical team and I know a little about batteries, it is almost impossible to do in-depth research or even develop our own battery technology.”
"We have to recruit a group of battery research and development talents. "Moreover, the battery technology research and development needs to start from scratch and even catch up with the current domestic and foreign manufacturers. For example, the battery technology level that we are currently using…I'm afraid there is a long way to go.”
Hearing Liu Tiancheng's words, Li Ze frowned slightly.
He didn't forget that his original intention of entering the electric vehicle field was to accumulate technology so that he could enter the electric vehicle field mentioned by his son in the future.
Li Ze suddenly asked,""How's the current development of the company?”
Liu Tiancheng was stunned. He didn't seem to understand why Li Ze would ask such a question.
But he still replied,"CEO Li, Biadi is currently one of the largest battery manufacturers in the world. In addition, they were also attacking the dominance of lithium batteries in their country.”
"Well-known mobile phone giants such as motorola, noika, sony, etc. have now cooperated with biati and used their batteries.”
"Moreover, I heard that Biadi places great importance on technology research and development, and has invested a lot of money in research and development.”
"This is also what I said just now. If we want to start from scratch and start developing battery technology now, it will take a long time to catch up with the current big companies like Biadi!”
Hearing Liu Tiancheng's words, Li Ze nodded slightly.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly said to Song Ming,""Manager Song, please help me contact Biadi later. Use my name to ask if their CEO Wang has time to meet.”
Song Ming was startled and looked at Li Ze in surprise. He quickly replied,"Okay, CEO Li. I'll contact Biadi Company later and give you a reply.”
"Yes."
Li Ze nodded and said,"Alright, that's all for now."”
"If there's a reply from Biadi, contact me at any time
..."
After leaving the Fengchi Electric Vehicle Factory, Li Ze went straight home.
"Dad, Grandma called just now..."
As soon as he entered the house, his son, Li Dong, said.
Li Ze's parents were worried about disturbing Li Ze's work, so they rarely called him. Instead, they called their son, Li Dong, more often.
Although Li Dong was only 11 years old this year, he was still very young.
However, Li Ze had bought him a cell phone very early on so that he could contact him if anything happened.
Hearing his son's words, Li Ze was a little surprised and asked,""What did Grandma say to you?"
His son had deliberately said this, probably because his mother had something to tell him.
"Grandma asked me to ask you if you're going back to visit the graves during the Qingming Festival," Li Dong replied. This year, the village plans to sweep the ancestral graves together. Grandma is afraid of disturbing your work, so she asked me to ask if you have time to go back.”
Li Ze suddenly understood. He thought for a moment and said,"Alright then. When the time comes, you'll come back with me to my hometown to sweep the graves."”
"Um…I'll call your grandma later.”
It was already the end of March, and there were only two days left until April. Qingming was approaching.
"That's good. Give Grandma a call later.”
Li Dong replied.
Li Ze nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and said to his son,"By the way, why don't you call your Aunt Yuxuan and ask her if she wants to go back to Jiang Zhou with us?”
"Okay, then I'll call Aunt Yuxuan and ask her…"
Li Dong said.
After a while, Li Ze called his mother and told her that he would make time to go back to Qingming.
Li Dong also called his aunt, Jiang Yuxuan.
After a while, the father and son hung up.
"Dad, Aunt Yuxuan said that when you go back to Jiangzhou, if it's convenient for you, you can go to her school to pick her up," said Li Dong.”
"It just so happens that Qingming is a Friday. They don't have any classes that day, so they can go back to Jiangzhou. They can go back to school after a couple of days
on the weekend…"
"Yes!"
…
Peng City, Biadi Company.
"President Wang, I just received a call from Song Ming, the general manager of Fengchi Electric Vehicle Company. He said that their boss wants to meet you.”The secretary walked into Wang Chuanfu's office and reported.
Wang Chuanfu was stunned. He didn't seem to realize who the owner of the Fengchi electric bike was.
Seeing this, his secretary quickly added,"He's the second richest man in the country on the Hurun Rich List last year. He's also the big boss of Legendary Games and Zerun Technology.”
"Oh…so it's him!”
Wang Chuanfu finally came to a realization, but he was a little surprised."Why would that Boss Li suddenly want to meet me?”
"Could it be because of the cooperation with Fengchi electric cars?”
Wang Chuanfu naturally knew that Biadi had cooperated with Fengchi electric cars to provide battery packs for them.
In fact, as the Fengchi No. 1 electric car sold well in major cities across the country, hundreds of thousands of cars had been sold, which also brought a lot of profits to Biadi.
He was definitely one of Biati's important clients.
One had to know that the profit from the battery of an electric car was much higher than the profit from the battery of a mobile phone.
Hearing Wang Chuanfu's words, the secretary said,"CEO Song from Fengchi didn't say much about the details. He only said that this was instructed by their boss and asked him to make an appointment for you.”
"I'll see when it's convenient for you.”
Wang Chuanfu pondered for a moment and said,"Okay, then help me reply. Tell him that I'm going to Shanghai for an inspection in the middle of this month. If it's convenient, I'll visit Boss Li at that time.”
Since Li Ze had personally asked someone to make a call, Wang Chuanfu felt that he had to give him some face.
After all, the other party was the second richest man in the country, and his Fengchi electric car was an important customer of his company.
Furthermore, Wang Chuanfu was indeed preparing to go to Shanghai for an inspection.
He planned to build a battery factory there, so he had to go over and inspect it. At the same time, he could talk to the Shanghai officials about related matters
... "Then I'll go and reply to CEO Song now..." The secretary quickly replied.
"Okay, you can go."
Wang Chuanfu nodded.
After the secretary left, Wang Chuanfu fell into deep thought.
"That Boss Li specially asked me to meet him, I'm afraid it's not just for the current cooperation between Biadi and Fengchi electric cars.”
"Otherwise, given the boss 'identity and family business, he wouldn't have personally asked me to meet and talk about this matter. "There must be something else, but I don't know what it is…"
Wang Chuanfu thought for a moment and couldn't understand.
He could only wait until he went to Shanghai to meet the other party before finding out…
Wang Chuanfu's reply was quickly sent to Li Ze through Song Ming.
When he learned that Wang Chuanfu would be coming to Shanghai in the middle of the day, Li Ze also asked Song Ming to reply to him and let him know when Wang Chuanfu arrived in Shanghai.
At that time, he would welcome him back…
