In the afternoon, near the main entrance of Hualian Business Building.
A 33-year-old middle-aged man named Zheng Hongrui has been waiting near the door for almost half a day without even eating lunch. It is almost time to get off work.
Zheng Hongrui was wearing a suit and leather shoes, but he obviously didn't like wearing this kind of formal attire, but he had no choice but to wear it.
At this moment, he saw a HQL5 luxury car driving to the roadside near the main entrance of the building, and Zheng Hongrui's eyes suddenly lit up.
When Zheng Hongrui saw this car, he guessed that the real owner would come out soon.
After waiting for about six or seven minutes, he finally saw Lu Ming coming out of the business building and heading towards his business car. Upon seeing this, Zheng Hongrui walked quickly and walked straight away.
Li Chengyao, who was about to open the car door for Lu Ming, noticed that a stranger was obviously coming here, so he subconsciously became vigilant and acted as a bodyguard to prevent him from approaching the boss at any time.
But before the driver, Xiao Li, noticed it, someone had already noticed it.
Zheng Hongrui, who was running straight towards Lu Ming, was stopped by two men who suddenly got out of a car next to him. They were Lu Ming's security personnel.
In this sparse and ordinary commute to and from get off work, it seems that there is no bodyguard except the driver Xiao Li, but in fact this is not the case. Most of the bodyguards have become "passers-by".
However, in China, the purpose of arranging these security employees to travel with them is more to pacify some media reporters. Personal safety is not a problem. After all, the domestic security environment is incomparable to foreign countries.
"Mr. Lu, please give me three minutes. I believe I can convince you to invest in my company!"
Zheng Hongrui, who was stopped by two bodyguards, had no choice but to shout that he had no choice but to miss this opportunity because he was a little-known entrepreneur. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to have a face-to-face conversation with a big boss like Lu Ming.
Lu Ming couldn't help but stopped and turned his head to look over. After a quick glance, he gave a few instructions to Xiao Li. Xiao Li immediately nodded, turned around, walked quickly to the two bodyguards, and said, "Boss, let him go.
"
When Zheng Hongrui heard this, he immediately became energetic. The two bodyguards immediately let him go, and Xiao Li took him to Lu Ming.
"Mr. Lu, I'm very sorry for wasting your precious time. My name is Zheng Hongrui, and I am the founder of Lawo Intelligence." Zheng Hongrui apologized and briefly introduced himself.
"I just heard what you said, why don't you find Tiansheng's investment department? The company has people dedicated to receiving founders like you who are seeking financing." Lu Ming said, the implication is that your unconventional way of playing cards is not good.
.
If an investment solicitor does this, wouldn't it mean that people would block the door every day?
Upon hearing this, Zheng Hongrui said apologetically again: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Lu, it was indeed a bit rash. I tried what you said, but I couldn't see you that way, so I had to make this decision..."
Hearing this, Lu Ming's eyes wandered around for a moment and then fell on the other person, "Langwo Intelligent... what kind of company is it? It does artificial intelligence?"
Judging from the company name, the first thing people will think of is that it is a startup company engaged in the field of AI.
Zheng Hongrui immediately said: "It focuses on the fields of smart cars and autonomous driving. I am also an engineer specializing in this field. Mr. Lu, your strategic layout of the new energy vehicle industry ecology has caused an unprecedented sensation in the industry, so I came here here. I hope
If you can give me five minutes, I believe you will invest in my company after listening to it, I..."
Lu Ming smiled and interrupted him and said: "Mr. Zheng, even if I work 24 hours a day, I can listen to 288 stories every 5 minutes. My mailbox will receive more than 5,000 investment opportunities every day about the future of this industry.
There is no limit to the imagination of that industry. It is true... Well, you answer me a question, and if you can get the answer I want, we can chat in the car."
Zheng Hongrui couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then said after reacting: "You say it!"
He was very curious about the boss's questions, but he also knew that answering correctly would be the ticket to get a chance.
Lu Ming did not hesitate and asked directly: "Who do you think is Tiansheng Capital's biggest potential competitor in the new energy vehicle industry? Tesla? BYD? Or others?"
This question is difficult to answer, but Zheng Hongrui quickly gave his answer: "Tesla is currently the undisputed leader in the field of new energy vehicles, but I am not optimistic about its future, including BYD. They may become Tian
Sheng’s competitors, but the biggest potential competitor should be Huawei or Google. If you have to choose the biggest competitor, I think it is Huawei!”
Lu Ming was surprised to receive such an answer. He didn't say anything and immediately walked towards the business car. Xiao Li quickly stepped forward and opened the door for him.
This made Zheng Hongrui stand there at a loss. At this time, Lu Ming looked back at him and said, "Get in the car and chat?"
Zheng Hongrui was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was overjoyed. He quickly caught up with him and came to the other side of the car and entered the car. He not only realized that this answer satisfied Lu Ming, but also realized that it was very likely that he would be the same as Lu Ming's hero.
Seeing the same thing, the reason why he quickly gave this answer without hesitation was because he thought so, rather than answering just for the sake of answering.
Xiao Li also got into the driver's seat and drove the car to Taoyuan Forest.
In the car, Lu Ming looked at Zheng Hongrui and asked with interest: "I'm quite surprised by your answer. Why is it Huawei?"
Zheng Hongrui organized what he wanted to say in his mind, and then said: "To be honest, Mr. Lu, before I founded Lawo Intelligence, I worked in Silicon Valley for a period of time at Google, Apple, Tesla and Huawei.
, of course the time is not too long, I have been to other new energy car manufacturers, and of course I have not been in key positions. Frequent job hopping is not to increase my worth and salary. The idea of starting a business came to me when I was at Google..."
Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but look at him differently. Zheng Hongrui didn't seem to be very old, so being recruited by major technology companies one after another showed that he had something.
Lu Ming said jokingly: "You are planning to go to future competitors to gather information."
Zheng Hongrui smiled without any intention of denying it, and continued: "After visiting these big manufacturers, I came to the conclusion that most of the current 'new car-making forces' are basically either telling stories or cheating.
Subsidies, on the contrary, Huawei, which has not yet announced its entry into the new energy field, is quietly developing technology. Huawei is really spending money to develop technology, but the industry seems to have ignored the existence of Huawei and excluded it from the new energy system.
It is still regarded as a technology giant in the communications field."
"For those who are engaged in technology for this kind of muffled sound, I believe that in a few years, when they really start to announce their entry into this industry, they will definitely surprise everyone."
"Many things take a long time to accumulate, and then they soar into the sky. Especially the systematic technical reserves, which are linear in the early stage and exponential in the later stage. Whether it is industry or technology, when it reaches a certain level, it will be turned upside down.
Huge changes have occurred, and new energy vehicles are the same. After a long period of accumulation in the past few years, the period of qualitative change is not many years away, and the technological explosion of the market may be in the foreseeable future."
When Lu Ming heard what the other party said, although he didn't show it, he had already decided to invest a sum of money in him at risk. However, Lu Ming was even more interested in him. There may be an exit mechanism for investing in a company, but investing in talent will never
Need to exit.
Rather than investing in Lawo Intelligent, which was founded by Zheng Hongrui, Lu Ming now wants to recruit him directly to Tianyu Yunchi, which is being prepared, but this requires further understanding of him.
Lu Ming continued to communicate with him along the way, and finally arrived at Taoyuan Garden and directly invited Zheng Hongrui to his villa garden to continue chatting.
