Shi Lei looked at Shi Qiang with a smile, shook his head and said, "Why are you so excited?"

Shi Qiang smiled and said, "You usually don't interfere with the company's operations. Now you suddenly say something is wrong, it must be at the strategic level. I don't agree with you in other aspects, but for product strategy, you are the beacon of the way. Everyone in the company, and even the entire venture capital circle, knows that you are the best product manager..."

Shi Lei waved his hand and said, "I can't bear to be so proud of me. However, what I want to tell you today is indeed related to strategy."

Shi Qiang smiled and said, "It may be a bit exaggerated, but it is basically true. This is really the impression of you in the circle."

Shi Lei smiled again, picked up the water cup, took a sip of water, and said, "This time I went to Qiannan and met a friend. Do you know that there is a Kong family in Chuncheng?"

"I heard of it, but I haven't dealt with it. It seems that I am a new energy company."

Shi Lei nodded and said, "Well, they are new energy sources. They have a daughter named Kong Yue, who is an American classmate with the eldest son and grandson of the Bai family. Kong Yue proposed an idea with me, and I think there is a certain amount of room for operation. Aren't we always thinking about how to effectively launch Qixuan Bicycle products in plateau provinces like Qiannan?"

Shi Qiang said: "Indeed, the government over there has always hoped that we will go there. Even many cities have opened good conditions. Cycling is a good choice if it is mainly tourism. However, I have always been worried about how many tourists can accept this physically driven travel method in the plateau area, and more of it is physically ill. If someone causes altitude sickness due to riding our Qixuan bicycle and something happens, it will be more of a loss. This will have a great impact on Qixuan's reputation. In addition, bicycle parking at tourist sites and other issues will increase considerable costs. Your parents' company will be difficult to expand to so many provinces in the short term, and its operationality is also relatively complicated, so I will put it aside for the time being."

Shi Lei nodded and said, "So, I think the idea that Kong Yue proposed to me is quite good. What she wants to do is to build an electric bicycle, set up a new company, exchange it with our Qixuan shares, and be included in the Qixuan Group, which will be established sooner or later in the future."

When Shi Qiang heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "This is not possible. The new company's direct share replacement is absolutely not possible. Our company's shares have a much larger growth space than the new company. Moreover, the comprehensive cost of electric bicycles in all aspects is too high. It's not good in the plateau area. In our current market environment, it is to compete with our own company for the market. Mr. Shi, this is not possible!"

Shi Lei nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, listen to me."

So, Shi Lei told Shi Qiang all his considerations and told him about his negotiations with Kong Yue.

Finally, Shi Lei concluded: "If Kong Yue said nothing, her father's company's new battery pack can really make the range of electric bicycles more than 100 kilometers, and the increase in cost is actually very limited. I also told her very clearly that my friend is a friend. In Shangyan, I can invest in her new company, but it is impossible to use Qixuan's shares to replace her. If their family insists on taking Qixuan's shares, I can replace her with her father's company. Of course, all this needs to be decided until my investigation of her father's company is over."

Shi Qiang said firmly: "As long as you don't exchange shares with the new company, everything else can be discussed. Indeed, it is a good way to open the gap in the plateau area by using electric bicycles. Ordinary bicycles are effective supplements for electric bicycles in the plateau area, and electric bicycles can also be effective supplements for other urban markets. Of course, we must control this amount. Let's do this. Let me first make a market analysis report to see how the ratio of electric bicycles should be determined in our existing market, and then see how the ratio of electric bicycles should be proportioned in the plateau area, and then give you a report on the initial investment of the new company. You should also contact the Kong family and give me a quote for the manufacturing cost of the electric bicycle."

Shi Lei said: "Then it's decided for the time being. There's no hurry to do this. Let's do it first before we talk about it."

"That's for sure, the top priority is always our Qixuan ourselves."

As he was talking, Shi Lei's phone rang. He took it out and looked at it, and smiled: "I just talked about the Wei family, but now Wei Qing's phone number is coming. It seems that the Wei family has a certain idea about our round C financing."

Shi Lei answered the phone and Wei Qing's voice immediately rang on the phone.

"Master Shi, this is wrong. We didn't discuss it before. Did you Qixuan's round C let our Wei family join the game?"

"I didn't say I won't let you join the game. I just told Brother Shi Qiang about this."

"Then you release your Series C financing plan, don't you tell me in advance?"

"What's the difference between talking early and late? I told Brother Shi Qiang that he would summarize the valuation report for the past or two days, and then hand over the valuation to your Wei family to match. Don't worry, you have the funds prepared, and I will definitely do what I promise you."

Wei Qing became even more anxious: "Can I not be anxious? Shi Qiang released the C round financing plan in the morning, and my old man immediately dragged me out of bed. I was scolded by the old man. Are you in Wudong? Well, you must be there. You said you just talked to Shi Qiang about me. I'm almost here, let's meet and talk. I have brought our investment plan, just waiting for you, Master Shi to see it."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Your food looks a bit ugly!"

"Nonsense, my old man personally called you Qixuan, but was blocked by an assistant named Ai Yige. My old man said clearly. His surname is Wei, but your Qixuan's assistant is so awesome. He said in one sentence directly. Mr. Shi is in a meeting, and everything will be discussed after Mr. Shi finishes the meeting. If you have anything to leave a message, you can tell him. Can I tell him me!"

Shi Lei laughed and said, "All right, this is someone else's job. Why are you angry with him? How long are you here? I'll pick you up."

"This is a bit of a guy. Let me take a look... it will take another forty minutes."

Shi Lei looked at his watch and said, "Just arrived at dinner time, I'll wait for you. I'll go to the South Station to pick you up later. Let's have a meal together."

Wei Qing hung up the phone with satisfaction and immediately reported the situation to his old man. Shi Lei stood up and said to Shi Qiang: "You book a hotel, and you can have this meal together today. I'll go back and pick up Wei Qing, and you can send me the address of the hotel."

Shi Qiang looked at the time and said, "I won't come to the company in the afternoon. The investment companies in the province come to catch up. Let's have some fun at noon, and I will also give myself a vacation in the afternoon. I'm so tired during this period."

Shi Lei nodded with a smile and said, "Then call Zhang Xiyue, do you two have plans to get married?"

"Let's talk about it after it goes public. I'm so busy that I don't have time to think about these things."

Shi Lei went back to pick up the car and headed straight to the South Station. When he arrived, Wei Qing had already left the station. As soon as he saw Shi Lei's car, he immediately drove Shi Lei to the co-pilot.
