Chapter 1089 Cost Reduction
Of course, Shi Lei did not mean that Kong Yue was planning to make money by vain.
Regarding Kong Yue's previous statement that the two parties cooperated, and even if she invested, Shi Lei only needed to take out Qixuan's shares for replacement, and coupled with Qixuan's brand value, Shi Lei also had his own speculation.
At that time, Shi Lei did not know the financial situation of Kong Yue's father, that is, Kong Fandong's company, and there would not be too much investment in the initial stage of this cooperation.
If you don’t consider Kong Yue’s lion’s mouth is open and you just open your mouth with five points. In fact, if you run a company like Kong Yue, you will have a thousand dollars to invest in the initial investment. After all, you only need to build the company, and the rest can be done with just the word Qixuan. Naturally, investors will rush to invest in the new company and the funding issue is the least worth mentioning issue.
If you have confidence in the company's future and want capital to enter the market later, you will build the entire platform first. In fact, this only requires about 100 million yuan of funds.
When he was at Yulong a few days ago, Shi Lei did not doubt that Kong Yue could afford hundreds of millions of dollars. Even though he knew that Kong Yue could not afford the money at all, he actually did not think that Kong Yue was deliberately deceiving him.
The reason is very simple. A company that only needs 10 million in advance will never be a problem for a family of size like the Kong family.
The difficulty of Kong's financing is now, and the difficulty is not that he has no capital to raise. Just by the four words "Kong's Group", it is also a well-known golden signboard in Qiannan. As long as Kong Fandong is willing, he can find an investment at any time.
The reason why Kong's family fell into the current predicament was related to what Kong Yue told Shi Lei at Yulong.
Kong's new energy development is undoubtedly Kong's largest capital. If they want to raise funds, it will inevitably involve the technology and level of new energy development. This is exactly what Kong Fandong does not want to disclose to the capital market.
Shi Lei speculated that Kong Fandong was not worried about being entered too early and getting a share of the pie. Just as he did not completely reject Shi Lei's investment, and the conditions proposed by Shi Lei were actually the same as those proposed by every investor.
The only difference is that the capital in the market is not necessarily worthy of Kong Fandong's trust, but Shi Lei can give Kong Fandong a certain degree of trust.
Shi Lei doesn't know where this trust comes from, but it doesn't matter. What's important is that Kong Fandong retains his trust.
What's more, the Kong Group has no money, which does not mean that Kong Fandong can't get any money out of it. It's just that Kong Group is not his own, so he can't pay privately to fill the holes in Kong Group.
Shi Lei could imagine that Kong's Group was already in a tight position in the new energy project. Kong Fandong himself would definitely rather demolish the house and sell the land to continue the R&D and the project. However, other shareholders were obviously not optimistic and they were unwilling to add additional funds. If Kong Fandong adds additional funds alone, this would involve changes in the share capital, which touched the interests of the other shareholders.
This directly leads to funds that can only be found in the market and must be a source of funds that allows shareholders to have sufficient confidence.
This is why Shi Lei did not think that Kong Yue was cheating him. Because Kong Fandong could get the funds for establishing a new company, but Kong Fandong was unable to continue the funds of Kong's group.
Shi Lei pondered for a long time and finally said, "Okay, I'll check the flight later and I will definitely arrive in Chuncheng today."
In fact, Shi Lei knew that his attitude was so anxious that it would definitely cause the old fox Kong Fandong, the old fox, to have some unnecessary thoughts. However, he had no intention of hiding it because the dilemma that Kong Fandong is facing now is much greater than the dilemma that he faces. Shi Lei believed that Kong Fandong could distinguish the urgency and importance, and the old fox must first measure his own interests.
Kong Fandong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Shi in Chuncheng."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Lei checked the flight. Three hours later, a plane flew to Chuncheng. He immediately booked the flight, then returned to the hotel corridor and knocked on Wei Haoran's door.
Wei Haoran had already found the heads of the other three companies in his house. As soon as Shi Lei appeared, the three of them were anxious to ask Shi Lei why the financing press conference was delayed.
Shi Lei sat down and said with a smile: "Everyone, I'm sorry, because I want to build a new project, I will rush to the airport and fly to Chuncheng. Going to Chuncheng is related to the finalization of a new project. Originally, this project will take some time to start, but now, Chuncheng's partners have changed their attitude towards cooperation with this new project because we announced the C round of financing, and they hope to achieve it as soon as possible. They want to take the ride-sharing of our C round of financing, and I
I also hope that Qixuan can take advantage of the successful cooperation of this new project after the completion of the C round of financing. This is a win-win situation and I have no reason to object. So, I hope you can give me some time to go to Chuncheng to finalize the final cooperation details, and then, I will release the news at the financing press conference. I believe that as long as the cooperation is successful, your investment will be recognized by the investment appraisal company on the same day, and your investment will add a large part of the value in the shortest time."
Except for Wei Haoran, the other three people immediately showed joy after hearing this.
One of them asked, "Is Qixuan going to open the plateau market in the southwest?"
"It is not only the southwest, but also some high-altitude areas in the west. This has always been a great difficulty for us Qixuan, especially those cities dominated by tourism. The market prospects were very broad, but due to a series of problems such as safety, we Qixuan did not dare to open up the market in that area easily. New projects can perfectly solve this problem. At the same time, the new project is not another expansion of Qixuan's business, but a new model of a new company. In addition to perfectly solving Qixuan's problems in high-altitude areas, this project can also provide some necessary supplements to the market that Qixuan has opened."
"Mr. Shi can reveal what the new project is? We were a little confused!" Another person said again.
Shi Lei nodded with a smile and said, "Electric bicycles, but they are definitely not the electric bicycles you see on the market now. I hope you will be more patient in the specific situation and will answer them after I finish the negotiation. More things are not convenient to disclose at present."
After hearing this, the three people frowned. They looked at Wei Haoran. Wei Haoran had to speak: "Mr. Shi, in fact, there are companies in China that are doing the electric bicycle project, but the response is not very good. I admit that in high-altitude areas, electric bicycles can effectively solve many safety hazards, but the cost it brings is too high. This is no longer just a manufacturing cost, but the maintenance cost after being put on the market..."
Shi Lei smiled and waved his hand, saying, "This is what I said about Qixuan electric vehicles and electric vehicles on the market. We have done a careful calculation. Once our electric vehicle project is established, the manufacturing cost will increase by no more than 20%, but the maintenance cost is only one fifth to one eighth of the previous one."
