Zheng Hongrui, who was still unfinished, continued to talk: "Mr. Lu, I dare to say that in the near future you will slowly discover that electric vehicles are more like smartphones than cars. They are large-scale electric vehicles."
Mobile smart terminal..."
Zheng Hongrui danced his body language and described vividly: "...smart electric vehicles will expand into more and more things, and their attributes as cars will be diluted, just like the call function of smartphones has been diluted. Being able to make calls is just
It’s just a function of the phone, nothing more.”
"It is also based on this logic that I think Huawei may not end up building cars in the future, but will get involved in intelligent systems. This is a high probability event, because they have this gene, including Apple and even Xiaomi, who will build electric cars because of their genes.
Generally speaking, the relationship between smartphone manufacturers and smart electric vehicles is much closer than that of traditional fuel vehicle companies." Zheng Hongrui tugged his fingers and said: "Tesla was born in Silicon Valley, not Detroit, the traditional automobile manufacturing center.
reason."
The more Lu Ming looked at Zheng Hongrui, the more he fell in love with him. He must not let this talent run away and must work for him.
Zheng Hongrui's judgments are most clear to Lu Ming, who has the foresight. This is how the future will evolve. Tesla does not intend to make a few money from the car when selling cars, but to make money from smart terminals.
The money for software packages is very similar to iOS and Android systems.
It has to be said that the current stock prices of pure hardware companies are pitifully low. For example, one person thinks that the future trend is that hardware will be given away almost for free, and money will be made by software sales or even advertising business. Users are the company's products.
Google doesn't make mobile phones, but it earns US$31 billion in revenue a year through its Android operating system, and its net profit is as high as a terrifying US$22 billion, which shows how profitable it is.
Lu Ming paused for a while and then said: "What do you think about the country possibly increasing competition and introducing the catfish Tesla? Will it kill domestic new energy car companies?"
Hearing this, Zheng Hongrui couldn't help but smile and said: "I can't say that Mr. Lu has not made a big move into the new energy vehicle market, but Mr. Lu, you have already entered the market. During this period, I have been paying attention to the changes in the domestic new energy vehicle market.
It turns out that Mr. Lu has the ambition to dominate the world of new energy vehicles. This is a change that has never happened in the new energy vehicle industry in the past ten years. Mr. Lu, your entry will undoubtedly accelerate the transformation of industrial technology in this market."
"But I think that after the new energy vehicle market goes through a period of chaos, it will eventually form a balanced pattern. There will be one or several companies or related groups that are particularly large, and there will be several small ones." Speaking of which, Zheng Hongrui
He laughed again and said:
"In fact, you only need to look at the smartphone market to know that no matter how powerful Apple is, there are still many people who don't like it and choose Android; no matter how powerful Toyota is, there are still a lot of other cars in various ecological niches because it is impossible to impress them.
It is impossible for everyone to occupy all ecological niches."
Lu Ming couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
New energy vehicles are a consumer market, which is different from Internet social software. WeChat and QQ are highly homogeneous. If a user installs other social software and his friends don’t use it, he will not be able to contact anyone because others use WeChat.
QQ, he can only install social software such as QQ and WeChat that everyone is using.
If the consumer market does not have similar problems, it will definitely form a pattern of coexistence of strong and weak.
As technology develops rapidly and becomes more mature, when the smart electric vehicle market develops, it will drive a lot of other edge markets or edge systems, such as lidar. There are hundreds of chips in smart electric vehicles, which involve perception.
Control, computing, security, communications, navigation and more.
…
Unconsciously, two or three hours had passed since the two parties communicated, and dinner time had passed for a while. The dinner had been prepared but not served, and the butler Liang Zhenyuan did not disturb it.
At the end, Lu Ming looked at Zheng Hongrui and said, "Mr. Zheng, I have already decided on investing in Lawo Intelligence..."
Zheng Hongrui was greatly excited when he heard this. He also knew that Tiansheng Capital was famous as a "Kay" in the investment community and was willing to spend money. If Lawo Intelligent could obtain angel round financing from Tiansheng Capital, it would definitely be a success.
The amount of financing is huge, and what Zheng Hongrui cares most about is that after Tiansheng Tianzi invests, it will be easier to raise money in the future.
The most important thing is that Lawo Intelligence can also join the new energy vehicle industry chain ecosystem created by Tiansheng Capital and become a part of it. Zheng Hongrui has studied the recent series of actions of Tiansheng Capital in new energy vehicles and realized that
Lu Ming is using strong capital means to integrate the upstream, midstream and downstream of the new energy vehicle industry chain. In the long run, this is the biggest benefit.
Lu Ming said: "I decided not to invest a penny."
Zheng Hongrui:???
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Hongrui was stunned. He sat there blankly and couldn't react for a while. After reacting, he was still confused.
Isn’t it embarrassing to step on a horse? How to answer this question?
After a moment, Lu Ming changed the subject and said: "We have just established a new energy vehicle company Tianyu Yunchi. The preliminary framework has not been set up yet. The positioning is basically the same as your Lawo Smart. Can you cancel Lawo Smart?
Come on, bring your team to join my Tiansheng Department, I will let you take over Tianyu Yunchi, and you will be in charge."
Zheng Hongrui thought that Lu Ming was teasing him because he would not invest a penny. He was holding back his anger and was about to burst out. When he heard what he just said, he became stupid again.
The anger in his stomach was extinguished and swallowed at this time, but it made him feel uncomfortable to death. Zheng Hongrui's heart collapsed a little, and he said to himself: Boss, can you stop doing this?
Zheng Hongrui, who came back to his senses, couldn't help being shocked and said: "Mr. Lu, you...I..."
I really don’t know how to answer this question.
When I came here, I came here to attract investment. Is it the rhythm of "losing oneself" in co-writing?
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Investing in Lawo Intelligence is a repeated waste of resources for Tiansheng, so there is no need. I will directly invest in you or your team. Tianyu Yunchi just lacks a leader with far-sightedness and foresight."
Sir, you are the one I think is the most suitable leader at the moment, so I can rest assured that I can sleep peacefully by handing him over to you."
These words made Zheng Hongrui feel surprised and at a loss. He was still excited to be recognized by the big boss, and Lu Ming secretly admired him. Such a decision was bold and courageous, and most people really didn't dare to use it. Now
Zheng Hongrui wants fame but no fame, no resources, no connections, no connections, and has not achieved anything.
Zheng Hongrui asked himself, although he has great ambitions, he also knows that he is now an unknown ordinary entrepreneur with no achievements to prove himself. The company he founded, Lawo Intelligence, is still in a rental house in Pengcheng, and he has no idea about the company.
Can you survive tomorrow?
If he cannot raise funds, he will definitely not be able to survive. If he fails, he will have no choice but to work in a factory for other technology companies. Although he is very confident in his ability level, whether it is Google, Apple or Hua, these major technology companies,
There is definitely a rush to get it.
But if he was just a worker, Zheng Hongrui wouldn't bother so much, not because he has his own ideas.
If Lu Ming agrees, he will still be a worker...
But the difference is that this is a wage earner who can make his own decisions, which is indeed a huge temptation for Zheng Hongrui.
He never imagined that just trying to attract an investment would lead to this situation.
At the end, Zheng Hongrui took a deep breath, looked at Lu Ming and said: "Mr. Lu, I can accept your invitation, but I have a condition. You must allocate 20% of the original shares of Tianyu Yunchi to me and
My team, and reserve 10% of the equity as an option pool to provide equity incentives to employees who make significant contributions to the company in the future. As long as you agree to the above requirements, Lawo Intelligent will be packaged and merged into Tianyu Yunchi."
Although Lu Ming is a capital giant with huge power and influence that is far from what Zheng Hongrui is now, he dares to put forward conditions. At worst, he will find other capital. If there is no domestic capital, then go to Silicon Valley.
"Okay, no problem, it's settled." Lu Ming agreed to the other party's request very readily. He was not afraid that Zheng Hongrui would not ask for it, but he was afraid that he would not ask for it.
In fact, even if Zheng Hongrui did not ask for equity allocation, Lu Ming would take the initiative to allocate equity to him and his start-up team.
This is a very necessary bundle of interests. Only by allocating equity to him will he have a sense of belonging to Tianyu Yunchi, and will not feel like he is working for others, but will work hard for his own career, and he will be one of the owners of the company.
, naturally strives for the future of the company without any reservation.
