Chapter 993 The more children you have, the more money you need to earn
Zeng Yuqun, Huang Shilin, and Wang Kai looked at the interaction between Xia Zekai and his wife. Even if they were middle-aged, they were extremely envious.
They worked hard for 20 years, then went out to start their own business, preparing to bring their family to live a good life, but only when they started to work did they realize how difficult it was!
"Mr. Zeng, Manager Huang, and Manager Wang, let's eat first." Xia Zekai greeted them, stood up, and went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of Wuliangye: "Is the white wine okay?"
Zeng Yuqun and the others thought that drinking wine would help them communicate better, so they agreed.
But he still said: "Mr. Xia, just one drink, we have to go to the exhibition in the afternoon."
"If you have time tonight, I'll treat you in the evening after my exhibition is over."
Hearing what Zeng Yuqun said, Xia Zekai laughed, filled a glass for each of them, and said, "Okay, that's all we have is this bottle of wine. After finishing the glass, let's divide the bottle."
That's okay. After pouring four glasses, there was only one bottom left in the bottle.
They were drinking slowly. Luo Xiyun finished cleaning up, changed her clothes and came down. She said hello to Zeng Yuqun and the three of them, and then said to Xia Zekai, "The three of them fell asleep again."
"Tsk, tsk, this life is really good. Eat, sleep, wake up and eat. This is the Sai Shenxian."
Zeng Yuqun and the other three sounded a little confused. He couldn't help but ask. Xia Zekai said: "My wife just gave birth to triplets this year. They are less than three months old. She eats and sleeps."
"Having said that, as a father, I have to work hard to make money, otherwise when they grow up, it will be difficult for me to divide the family property." Xia Zekai began to tease himself.
Zeng Yuqun was happy when he heard what he said: "This is a big happy event. I didn't know about it too late. I came unexpectedly and didn't bring any gifts..."
"Mr. Zeng is too polite. By the way, Mr. Zeng just said how much Ningde is worth?" Xia Zekai asked abruptly.
Zeng Yuqun did not doubt his presence and said: "I think it is worth 500 million now!"
"RMB, right?" Xia Zekai also specifically confirmed it.
Zeng Yuqun was not a stubborn old man. He immediately said: "US dollars are fine too!"
"Ha ha ha ha"
Several people present, including Luo Xiyun, couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere became better.
But Xia Zekai said again: "Since President Zeng said that Ningde Battery is worth 500 million, then if I use 500 million to invest in shares, will I be given half of the shares?"
"If you don't want to suffer a little loss, 49% is fine!" Xia Zekai said.
For a while, the atmosphere became a little cold.
When Xia Zekai said this, he threw away the naked attribute of capital.
Zeng Yuqun listened to the amount given by Xia Zekai, and he subconsciously wanted to agree to take the money, but when he thought that the other party would take away half of the shares at once, even 49% would not work.
He said: "Mr. Xia, I'm sorry, we can only give you 30% of the shares at most."
He has this confidence that Ningde batteries are worth the price!
But Xia Zekai didn't play it head-on. He spread his hands and said: "Look, Mr. Zeng, you just said that Ningde Battery is worth 500 million. I sincerely offered 500 million to invest in shares, but you insist on saying that you can only give it to me."
Thirty percent of the shares, isn’t this just raising the price on the ground?”
But he didn't expect that Zeng Yuqun was really "shameless" at this time, and said directly: "It's not a matter of money or not. We will only take out 30% of the shares at most this time."
He said: "I like gambling, but I think gambling is not enough. It is physical work, and gambling is mental work. So when I saw Mr. Xia, I took action and thought about reaching a cooperative relationship with Mr. Xia."
.”
"What a strong character!" Xia Zekai suddenly said these four words.
Unexpectedly, Zeng Yuqun's eyes lit up when he heard him say these four words. He laughed and said, "What a coincidence. There is a picture in my office that says 'Strong Gambling'. Mr. Xia also likes it?"
"
Xia Zekai lamented: "It is not easy to start a business. If you make a wrong step, you will lose everything, or even be doomed. But a few can develop by following the old tradition. It is okay to start a small business, but when the scale becomes larger and larger, it is still possible."
If you can't break through the limitations of your original thinking, aren't you looking for death?"
After Zeng Yuqun heard it, he nodded repeatedly and even resonated in his heart.
Then I heard Xia Zekai say: "Sometimes most people just 'do whatever they have', but think about it, can you, an emerging force, do better than those old guys in the industry?"
"So, I have always felt that starting a business should be about 'doing whatever you can get'. You have to fight for everything by yourself, and just wait and die!" Xia Zekai said with emotion.
While chatting with Zeng Yuqun, he thought about his step-by-step development from the beginning of his business to the present.
If it weren't for the "gambling" nature in his heart and his daring to think and do anything, that small garage store wouldn't be able to reach the Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. that is now spreading across the country.
He himself is not a conservative person, which is why he is named "Xia Zekai" on the Forbes rich list.
But the more Zeng Yuqun listened, the brighter his eyes became. He felt that he had found a sense of identity from Xia Zekai.
Listening to Xia Zekai's entrepreneurial story, Zeng Yuqun nodded frequently. This is a valuable experience from an absolute boss.
He felt that if he abandoned his age prejudice against Xia Zekai, he would be a truly career-oriented person.
But because of this, he admired him very much. It was not easy for Xia Zekai to reach this stage at such a young age.
After Xia Zekai finished speaking, Zeng Yuqun said: "Mr. Xia is right, we should keep the spirit of continuous improvement, otherwise we might as well go to work honestly, earn the three melons and two dates, and live a stable life."
Xia Zekai looked at him with a half-smile, but at this time, Zeng Yuqun still had little experience in entrepreneurship and could not explain those big principles.
"What is your main business at Ningde Battery now?"
"Supplying batteries to Apple, but I don't think this should be the current situation of Ningde batteries, so we also began to invest in research and development of automotive power batteries." Zeng Yuqun said.
"So we are short of money?" Xia Zekai hit the nail on the head.
Seeing the embarrassed expression on Zeng Yuqun's face, he did not continue to ask this question.
Xia Zekai and the three of them continued to drink and chat casually.
Luo Xiyun hurried upstairs after hearing the cry of a child from upstairs.
"Mr. Zeng, do you have any plans for the next step of development?" Xia Zekai asked.
Zeng Yuqun nodded: "Yes, but we have to develop a power battery first. We have our own target customers. As long as we come up with products, I am confident that we can overcome customers' defense lines."
"As long as a breakthrough is opened in the next step, we will focus on power batteries. I believe this is also the future development trend."
This man was quite confident, but Xia Zekai faintly heard some radical thoughts from his tone.
Looking back on myself, he is actually like this too.
When he first rented such a small workshop, he dared to borrow more than 10 million yuan to buy more than 40 acres of land to build a factory. If he was not careful, his life would be over.
There was also an element of gambling in it at that time.
Zeng Yuqun also mentioned something. This is not the first time he has started a business. Before Ningde Battery, he also started a battery business, but due to various reasons, it ended without any problems.
After he thought he was ready, he started his second business venture with a certain amount of capital accumulation and technology accumulation.
Therefore, he is confident that although Ningde Battery is a new company founded just last year, it is worth 500 million yuan based on its existing customers, industry, and technology.
Xia Zekai smiled and said, just listen to these stories. He just mentioned offering 500 million for 50% of the shares for the purpose of testing.
Ningde became King Ning!
There is no such thing as smooth sailing.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's find a third party to evaluate it another day. Let's talk about the money issue." Xia Zekai stopped mentioning it.
Zeng Yuqun, Huang Shilin and Wang Kai felt itchy in their hearts.
Xia Zekai started at the beginning and stopped talking. What does this mean?
But they didn't dare to force Xia Zekai, this was a big tiger.
After drinking a glass of wine and sharing some of the bottom in the bottle, Zeng Yuqun and the others saw that there was no further progress today, so they simply proposed to leave.
Xia Zekai did not keep them and asked Liu Changzheng to drive them to the International Exhibition Center.
Luo Xiyun came down from upstairs at this time. She asked Xia Zekai: "How is it? Is this company good?"
"The founder of this company is good, he is a hard worker." Xia Zekai commented.
He has not seen with his own eyes what the Ningde Battery looks like, so he will not make random comments about it.
But when chatting with Zeng Yuqun and the three of them, he saw a lot of reflections of his own entrepreneurial days in Zeng Yuqun, and he had a good impression of Zeng Yuqun.
Although he is middle-aged, he still dares to think, dare to do, and dare to fight!
Luo Xiyun also understood this truth, and she nodded: "That's okay?"
"Well, it's okay!" Xia Zekai agreed.
…
On the other side, in the car returning to the International Exhibition Center, since Xia Zekai was driving, Zeng Yuqun and others expressed their gratitude and then fell silent in the car without saying a word.
After arriving at the place, Liu Changzheng drove back.
The three of them got out of the car and were not in a hurry to enter the venue. They found a place to chat first.
"Mr. Zeng, what do you think?" Huang Shilin asked.
The expression on Zeng Yuqun's face was very complicated. He said: "If everything goes well, people have the money, but we can't afford so many shares."
"I think we can talk about some things. Mr. Zeng, Mr. Xia is quite easy to talk to. In fact, there are many people who are more ruthless than him," Wang Kai said.
That's right. They have contacted other people before, but they either dismissed Ningde Battery, or they were a little more serious and would not agree with their self-reported price of 500 million, and the quotation they gave was far from the big picture.
Spectrum.
From this point of view, it is Mr. Xia who agrees more with their quotation, which is probably the best news.
Zeng Yuqun smiled and said: "He wouldn't believe it, so he asked a third party to conduct an evaluation and audit. But you are right, he has money!"
