"Chen Wei is a tough nut to crack, and he may not necessarily agree with your approach."
Zhou Chongming's worries are unfounded.
Six months ago, under the leadership of Liu Qing, Didi completed a huge financing of US$2 billion, and the company's cash reserves exceeded US$3.5 billion.
It was the largest unlisted company financing in the world at the time, and also the largest financing in the mobile Internet field.
The biggest dream of every entrepreneur is to go public for the company he founded.
Nasdaq is even more of a dream paradise.
Now that the listing is imminent, Chen Wei is indeed not willing to have his rights emptied out, but he will not hinder the company's listing at this time.
It is true that Lu Beifeng has a great reputation, but after all, he belongs to the Heavenly Descendants system, and Didi has begun to take shape, with many forces behind it.
Chen Wei is still the chairman of Didi, which shows that he is a smart man.
Knowing that introducing Liu Qing would negate his rights, but the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, he acquiesced to this behavior.
Being unwilling to be ignored does not mean that you are unwilling.
Zhou Chongming felt that it was difficult for Lu Beifeng to start from Chen Wei, because no one wanted to add variables before success came.
"So Chen Wei can only be used as a target. We still need enough chips to make him stand in line."
"Chongming, do you think if Didi is listed on the Hong Kong stock market or even domestically, if this plan succeeds, who else will be the biggest gainer besides us?"
Lu Beifeng chuckled, he naturally understood the truth.
It is difficult to win over Chen Wei with empty words.
They also need a third party with sufficient strength to intervene.
Zhou Chongming has been with Lu Beifeng for many years and can barely keep up with his ideas.
Slowly recalling the list of shareholders in the information, Didi’s top three shareholders are SoftBank, Uber, and Apple.
These three are foreign investments and are basically excluded.
Zhou Chongming had a guess, but he was not sure: "Do you want to cooperate with Tengda?"
"Bingo, that's right."
Lu Beifeng snapped his fingers, showed an approving look, and said with a smile: "Tengda is Didi's fourth largest shareholder, accounting for 6.8% of the shares. At the same time, Tenda's communication software is also Didi's largest usage channel."
"If Brother Ma is on our side, then Chen Wei should think carefully."
Compared to old Ma Jack, Lu Beifeng actually prefers little Ma Jack.
Although Tengda has a bad reputation outside, it keeps copying and copying, and there is also a local Pizza Hut.
The former Internet companies are all like this, innovation is useless, traffic is the king.
The latter's official protection of local enterprises is also similar.
Just like Lu Beifeng's Bailong Automobile, which poached so many automotive engineers from major car companies across the country.
He was sued for malicious commercial competition. I don’t know how many times he was sued.
As far as Lu Beifeng knew, Boatman's BYD had sued him more than a hundred times.
But none of the cases could pass the Tianhu Court's approval, and all were dismissed one by one.
The legal teams of both parties are clamoring: "Come here."
The legal team of almost every large company does this kind of thing every day.
As long as it has the strength to drive regional development, no matter which company it is, it will be the local Pizza Hut.
This is just one of the things Lu Beifeng admires about Brother Ma, and the second thing is that Brother Ma's butt is sitting very upright.
This is very obvious from the company's share structure.
Tenda's largest shareholder is Standard Bank of South Africa, which holds 33.24% of the shares. It looks like a foreign company, but it is actually an orthodox state-owned enterprise.
Because this South African company was acquired by Cosmos Bank four years ago for 60% of its shares, it has absolute say.
This acquisition project was facilitated by Xiao Ma's management team with the help of his best efforts.
Tengda understands its own position, and also knows where to make money, where to eat, and where to sit.
It's not like some companies, who pick up the bowl to eat and then put down the bowl to scold the mother. They are just 25-year-olds.
"You can figure it out yourself. I'm going to catch up on my sleep. If you want money, please let me know."
"There is still 95 billion in liquidity left in Dixing One's account. If it is not enough, I can use the reserved funds of A-shares and US stocks to come up with another 100 billion."
"Nearly 200 billion in cash is enough for you."
Zhou Chongming burst out laughing. He suspected for a moment that Lu Beifeng did it on purpose and that he had been plotting against Didi for a long time.
No matter whether it wins or loses in this plan, Tenda will enjoy the benefits and will most likely not refuse.
Next, let’s see how Lu Beifeng uses his 6.8% stake in Tenda to leverage Didi’s top three shareholders to control nearly 40% of the shares.
Zhou Chongming was actually looking forward to it very much.
When Lu Beifeng was alone and weak, he had been using vertical and horizontal combinations.
Later, he gradually gained momentum and began to use his power to overwhelm others, and he was never seen using this trick again.
Lu Beifeng smiled and said: "The funds should be enough for the time being."
The charging pile project previously invested in Ma Hongbo only used 5 billion.
The follow-up AB two-wheelers of Bailong Motors are expected to cost about 25 billion.
He still has nearly 60 billion in cash, which is enough for him to deal with.
After Zhou Chongming left, Lu Beifeng told Zhang Jiali to contact Xiao Ma's assistant.
Brother Xiao Ma is very interested in this, but he can't leave in Pengcheng recently. Could you please excuse Lu Beifeng and take a trip?
Lu Beifeng smiled and said: "No problem, as a junior I should go and visit you."
Brother Xiao Ma smiled bitterly: "No, I'm still relatively young. Beifeng, we can just call him our peers."
He is a man of few words and rarely participates in drinking games among entrepreneurs, but he is fairly familiar with things in the Pearl River Delta.
It's really not a good thing to be Lu Beifeng's senior.
Brother Wang is a lesson learned from the past.
Lu Beifeng's face darkened and he held his breath: "Brother Boatman is too stingy. Why don't we poach a few of his people? As for spreading rumors outside every day to ruin my reputation."
"Brother Xiao Ma, please don't take it for granted. I, Lu Beifeng, have always been kind-hearted and I have a reputation for being kind."
"Brother Ren from Warwick, Lao Zeng from Jude, and Lao Cao from Fuyao can all vouch for me."
Xiaoma Ge smiled softly: "Haha."
"It's getting late, go to bed early, Brother Ma. We'll meet tomorrow and talk in detail."
Lu Beifeng sighed slowly, suddenly losing hope in humanity and feeling that everything was boring.
If you start spreading rumors, you will lose your legs if you refute them.
He behaves upright and behaves in an orderly manner.
Why does the reputation become like this?
Lu couldn't bear the grievance, so he decided with Brother Ma on the itinerary and the time for the two to meet.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately called Wang Chuanfu. He said sadly: "Brother Boatman, I am really heartbroken now. In my mind, you have always been an amiable big brother. Why do you always slander me outside?"
The boatman brother asked coldly: "Lu Beifeng, are you here to show off? That's enough. Don't do anything too awesome."
BYD E1 new energy mini car will be launched soon.
The originally determined publicity channels, whether it was offline dynamic billboards or online UP new media, suddenly broke contracts on a large scale yesterday, ignoring the high breach of contract fees.
After further understanding, I found out that it was not that they wanted to break the contract, but that others gave too much.
Bailong Automobile’s miniEV convertible version has once again launched a large-scale product announcement.
The advertising fee is 50% higher, and the company signed a publicity contract with BYD E1, and even covers its liquidated damages.
BYD is just an ordinary warrior and cannot defeat the krypton gold warriors.
Wang Chuanfu was worrying about this matter when Lu Beifeng suddenly called and started talking nonsense.
