Liu Qing gritted her teeth and talked to Goldman Sachs President Araus about what had just happened.
The way the other party looked at Lu Beifeng was different.
Before I came here, I had heard from my friends on Wall Street that this young richest man in China was not someone to be trifled with, and today I saw him and he certainly lived up to his reputation.
Araus chuckled and said, "Mr. Lu, what is the financing valuation of Bailong Automobile?"
He doesn't mind being used as a weapon, as long as he can gain benefits.
If you can enter the Bailong Automobile in the A round and be used as a gun, it doesn't matter.
This move can also deepen the relationship between them.
Unfortunately, Lu Beifeng didn't buy it and slowly raised his head to look at the podium.
Chen Shaojie is slowly walking up the high platform.
Lu Beifeng smiled and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Alaus, the valuation of the financing is decided by the company's management. I rarely ask about it and I don't know it clearly."
Undisguised perfunctory.
Liu Qing's face was ashen as she repeated Lu Beifeng's words and her understanding of him to Alaos.
After hearing this, the other party's expression was completely gloomy. Such behavior showed that Goldman Sachs did not take them seriously at all.
The fact was just as he thought, Lu Beifeng did not take Goldman Sachs seriously.
Because of Didi and Liu Qing, his first impression of Goldman Sachs was very bad.
Naturally, you won't look good on the other party.
There are so many people to offend, and Goldman Sachs is the biggest.
On the high platform, Chen Shaojie gave a passionate speech: "Mr. Lu Beifeng once said that new energy vehicles are the mainstream of the future."
"We have never doubted what Mr. Lu Beifeng said."
"With the excessive squandering of natural resources by countries around the world in recent years, icebergs have melted and sea levels have risen, resulting in a series of greenhouse effects, which have already made us taste the bitter consequences."
"The earth is very big, but it is also very small. This is the home where we humans live together and needs to be protected by each of us."
"This is also Mr. Lu Beifeng's original intention in establishing the company."
New energy vehicle product launches or financing plans are always inseparable from the word environmental protection.
As long as you grasp the righteousness, you can stand on the moral high ground and do whatever you want.
Ordinary people can only see what is in front of them. They never think about where the new energy electricity comes from or how it is generated.
It can drive with just a click, no annoying noise, and no choking exhaust fumes.
It seems to be very environmentally friendly, which is enough.
Chen Shaojie's speech continued. He first elaborated on the original intention of starting a business and seized the moral high point. Then he began to draw a pie based on the company's situation.
"Our company has only been established for less than five months, but its results are very gratifying. The current total sales of vehicles has reached 298,000 units, ranking first in the country."
"And in the past two months, with the unremitting efforts of all colleagues in the company, 293 offline stores will be opened one after another to provide customers with the best after-sales service."
"At the same time, we also reached a consensus with the Honda Group to establish a joint venture plant in Nagasaki, Japan. Not long ago, the first Bailong car landed in Japan."
"And soon, our company will reach various cooperation with top domestic universities, high-end research institutes, and cutting-edge enterprises."
"In the next one to two years, we will plan to invest in the IDC center and cloud computing center to conquer fully automatic intelligent driverless driving."
"Our company firmly believes that the future is new energy vehicles, 5G communications, and the Internet, an unprecedented era of Internet of Vehicles..."
Chen Shaojie was impassioned on stage. This was the first time he appeared in the public eye on a formal occasion.
He is only four years older than Lu Beifeng, about thirty years old, the most attractive age group for a man.
With the attention of a group of financial tycoons, he led the financing process of a company worth nearly 10 billion US dollars.
Neither humble nor arrogant, humble and moderate.
This speech has won the hearts of many entrepreneurial fans.
Lu Beifeng curled his lips and muttered: "You can really blow."
They are all prefixed with "future", "soon", and "our plan". Anyway, none of them can be realized now!
Maybe what he said is true, but the main body of the implementation of the plan will only be Tianhuo Technology, not Bailong Automobile.
If you look at Chen Shaojie's words based on actual future plans, it is definitely a fraud.
Lu Beifeng had to admit first that he was a little bit sour.
I have been a red flower for a long time and it is my first time to be a green leaf, which is a bit strange.
Chen Shaojie's speech lasted for more than ten minutes, and finally he said with admiration: "The initial valuation of Bailong Motors was US$19 billion."
"This is a decision made by our company's management after layer-by-layer analysis and joint discussion."
"But after Mr. Lu Beifeng learned about the matter, he strongly opposed it."
"He said that we are a physical manufacturing company and should be as down-to-earth as developing new technologies to better serve all mankind."
"If a company makes big claims based on temporary popularity, what's the difference between it and a castle in the air?"
"After his persuasion, we finally decided to raise 10% of our shares at a valuation of US$15.5 billion!"
Valuation of $15.5 billion.
This valuation is still somewhat different from what many people estimated before coming here.
But with the $20 billion valuation mentioned before, it doesn’t seem too hard to accept that it was suddenly cut by a quarter.
If he wanted to tear down the ceiling, many people would definitely disagree, but if he settled for cutting a window out, many people would probably agree.
Chinese people like to compromise, and so do foreigners.
"Institutions interested in investing can contact our company's financial director, Yan Yunsong, director Yan."
Chen Shaojie walked off the platform and breathed a sigh of relief. He subconsciously searched for Lu Beifeng's position in the crowd, wanting to see his reaction.
Lu Beifeng smiled brightly and gave him a thumbs up.
Chen Shaojie responded with a smile.
The banquet hall was filled with languages from various countries, and people were still discussing whether the price was reasonable.
But several people, when Chen Shaojie finished his speech, had quietly approached where Yan Yunsong was.
In less than ten minutes, Zhang Jiali received the news and whispered a few words in Lu Beifeng's ear.
"I still have something to do, so I need to take a step first."
Lu Beifeng nodded slightly and said goodbye to the friend he was talking to.
The boatman and the general manager of FAW stood not far from Lu Beifeng. When they saw this scene, they looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.
Lu Beifeng strode up to the high platform, picked up the microphone and showed a bright smile: "Everyone, let's have a good meal and drink tonight. This financing is over. The financing amount of 1.55 billion US dollars has been fully subscribed!"
This news is undoubtedly shocking.
People in the crowd looked at each other in shock.
How long has it been? Ten minutes?
US$1.55 billion, valuation of US$15.5 billion.
It's just a company that was established less than half a year ago. How could this money really come from a strong wind?
The boatman shook his head and exclaimed: "It's so annoying to compare people to each other."
Recalling the various difficulties I faced in raising funds in the market in the past, I couldn't help but feel bitter in my heart.
At this speed, I'm afraid no one else can.
FAW General Manager Liu Yu also nodded in agreement.
Jealousy turned him beyond recognition. He was so irritating that they shouldn't have come to this financing reception.
Countless entrepreneurs came to solicit investment and took action upon hearing the news.
They had no time to marvel at Lu Beifeng's terrifying dominance.
The faster Bailong Automobile raises funds, the better it is for them.
Spotting the father who was the financial backer he had been looking for early in the morning, he licked his face and recommended himself.
