After Chen Shaojie entered the venue, he prepared a financing plan and prepared to give a speech later.
When Lu Beifeng was talking to people, all the foreign guests had said hello, so the domestic guests naturally couldn't ignore one thing and ignore the other.
It’s not surprising that Boatman Brother would appear here, just like Lu Beifeng invested in BYD.
Even if he is unwilling to come, the company's board of directors will let him come. Mutual investment between companies is a normal risk hedging.
The two chatted for a while, and then Jack came over and seemed to have something to talk to. The boatman knew that the other party was a professional and he was just an amateur, so he said hello and left voluntarily.
Jack also said hello to the boatman and looked at Lu Beifeng with a smile on his face: "Mr. Lu, congratulations."
"Mr. Ma, you're too polite."
Lu Beifeng responded with a smile.
He doesn't like to get too close to Lao Ma.
A Wall Street capitalist who was born in China but has very pure ideas.
Once you have money, you begin to crave power.
During this period, Lu Beifeng was not on the hot search list.
The above basically contains news about Lao Ma meeting with leaders of major countries, holding business talks, and becoming a special adviser to the United Nations.
Give speeches all over the world, open your mouth to protect the environment, and shut your mouth to all mankind.
Lu Beifeng took a few glances and found that Lao Ma basically didn't speak human words.
If Lao Ma was born in a Western country, it would be normal to have this idea.
Because the giants on Wall Street basically follow the same route.
We talk about doctrine, but our hearts are all about business.
After completing primitive accumulation, they began to slowly gain popular reputation and gradually used the power of capital to control and implement policies that were beneficial to them.
But Lao Ma was born in China and has his roots in China.
It is very dangerous to have this idea.
After all, this country’s surname is society, not capitalism.
If he hasn't reacted yet, he will end up in a big somersault sooner or later.
Lao Ma pointedly said: "Ant Financial will only conduct Series C financing at the end of the year. I didn't expect that Mr. Lu, your company is still ahead of us. It is really making rapid progress."
The implication was that Lu Beifeng was reminded of what he had promised before and must not forget it.
Inviting Lu Beifeng's Dixing Investment to participate in Ant Financial's C-round financing should have been a mutually beneficial and win-win deal. He should not have been so proactive.
But in the past one or two months, Lu Beifeng has been busy with too many things, making his existence even more important.
No matter whether it is a company at home or abroad, there is no company that is not eager to tie Lu Beifeng to the chariot as long as it is going public.
Shorting Tesla crashed U.S. stocks, saved Big A, stabilized the exchange rate of soft currencies, and defeated Quantum Fund...
A series of events gave him an unparalleled reputation in the financial market.
If Ant Financial joins him, it will definitely be even more powerful.
With a current valuation of US$250 billion, he is confident that it will reach US$300 billion or even more than US$400 billion.
During this period of time, he was chatting and laughing with the leaders of various countries, even the beautiful country, which made Lao Ma feel quite arrogant now. As for Lu Beifeng's rejection, he had never considered it.
After the C round is completed, it is time to prepare for listing.
Going public means making money,
Presumably no one has trouble with money.
Lu Beifeng showed a fake smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Ma, you will definitely invite us to invest in Dixing."
Talking is one thing, doing things is another. He has never been optimistic about the listing of Ant Financial.
Having been in the financial market for many years, he understands the bottom line of financial supervision better than Lao Ma.
Today, Ant Financial, owned by Lao Ma, has more than 2 trillion yuan in savings and nearly 600 million users.
Once an enterprise of this size, scale and nature is listed on the market, it cannot fail or collapse. The effect is comparable to holding the emperor hostage to control the princes of the world.
It is impossible for the officials not to know, and in order to avoid this situation, they will definitely not let it go on the market.
After the Didi incident ended, Lu Beifeng had considerable confidence in the authorities.
They will definitely prevent this from happening.
The failure of Ant Financial to go public was definitely a devastating blow to Lao Ma's reputation. He was too busy taking care of himself to take care of Lu Beifeng's failure to make an appointment.
"That's natural."
Jack laughed, feeling very happy after receiving Lu Beifeng's 'promise'.
The two briefly chatted for a few words. Jack knew that Lu Beifeng, as today's protagonist, had many things to do and had no intention of continuing the conversation.
As soon as Lu Beifeng saw Jack off, Liu Qing slowly walked over holding the arm of a Western man.
It seems that she has adjusted her mentality well in the past few days. With a smile on her face, she introduced: "Mr. Lu, this is the president of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific, Mr. Araus."
"Hello." Lu Beifeng smiled back. Everyone who came was a guest, and the past was like smoke.
It’s not surprising that Liu Qing stands with Goldman Sachs, because she was originally trained by Goldman Sachs. Her defeat in Didi was also the defeat of Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs is an established and powerful first-class financial institution. As long as it is profitable, what is the point of being embarrassed?
Can it make money?
Araus smiled and expressed friendship.
Liu Qing acted as a translator: "Mr. Lu, our Goldman Sachs Group is very interested in Bailong Motors. Maybe we can talk privately. In terms of price, it's easy to negotiate."
"It's not necessary. If there's no need, even if it's $20 billion, I won't agree to it."
Lu Beifeng looked serious and refused righteously. His voice gradually became louder: "The original intention of the financing reception is for everyone to spread out and talk about it."
“Everyone will enter the market if they think the price is right, and if it’s not, they’ll consider it.”
"If everyone wants to talk privately, then the meaning of this cocktail party will be lost."
"Do you think I, Lu Beifeng, am short of money? Dixing Investment still has hundreds of billions of funds in hand..."
Many people present pricked up their ears to eavesdrop. When they heard Lu Beifeng talking about a valuation of US$20 billion, they all looked in disbelief.
20 billion U.S. dollars, a valuation of 130 billion U.S. dollars, the company has only been established for half a year, and it is still a Series A financing.
Is there such an outrageous price point?
Do you really think that investors’ money comes from strong winds?
Unlike Chen Shaojie, Lu Beifeng was carried away by the grand occasion of the banquet.
He also knows that not everyone is as wealthy as Brother Ma.
In the past few days, many financial institutions have arrived early to conduct on-site inspections, and their specific valuation of Bailong Auto is between 80 billion and 90 billion.
If they want to achieve a valuation of 100 billion, they have to hit the wall. They first quote an outrageous price, and finally announce a relatively high but acceptable price.
Chinese people like compromise, and so do foreigners.
Doing this is not a waste of effort, even if the financing shares are all allocated.
Lu Beifeng must do the same.
You can't let them feel a loss after entering the market. You must let them suffer a loss and be happy that they made a profit.
The purpose is to pave the way for the next round of financing.
Goldman Sachs accidentally ran into the muzzle of the gun, and no one can blame it.
Liu Qing was speechless and forgot to translate for a while.
Still underestimated Lu Beifeng’s integrity. When will they report a valuation of US$20 billion?
20 billion US dollars. Thinking of this valuation, she felt a dull pain in her heart.
Didi was also allocated by this guy with a valuation of US$20 billion.
The company he co-founded was worth US$20 billion in just six months, while the platform she had worked hard on for four to five years was only worth US$20 billion.
How can Bailong Automobile or the physical manufacturing industry be compared with Didi?
However, Liu Qing's words are useless now.
The noisy banquet hall suddenly became much quieter.
The head of the agency is talking with his staff to discuss whether the valuation of US$20 billion is reasonable.
When they began to consider this matter, it meant that Lu Beifeng's goal had been achieved.
