On the way back in the car, Li Yiwen looked at the documents and asked his own question: "100 million US dollars to buy 40% of the shares of this company? Brother, do you know the size of this company? All the people in the entire company together can't make up one piece of stock."

Round table.”

Lu Yiming did not answer Li Yiwen's question, but instead asked: "In recent times, have the prices of mobile phones in our country become cheaper and cheaper?"

When Li Yiwen thought about it, he was suddenly surprised and said: "This is really true. Mobile phones that used to cost RMB 7,000 to 8,000 yuan are now generally priced below 3,000 yuan. Some mobile phones can even be purchased for 500 to 600 yuan."

In the 1980s, the price of mobile phones generally exceeded 20,000 to 30,000.

With the popularity of digital mobile phones, prices have become lower and lower.

By this year, the Nokia 8910, which costs more than 5,000 yuan, has been released. This is already a relatively expensive high-end mobile phone.

Nokia 8250 and 8310 are the two most popular mid-range phones nowadays, with prices of 1790 and 2490 respectively. Ericsson's T65 and T29 are less famous and powerful, and only sell for more than 1,200.

The Alcatel OT301 from France, as a representative of low-end phones, was sold for an ultra-low price of 660 yuan. It can be said that mobile phones are no longer a luxury product, but have become something that even the working class can get by gritting their teeth.

Buy a consumer electronics product.

Lu Yiming said to Li Yiwen, "The popularity of mobile phones means that the demand for lithium batteries will surge in the future. Do you think it will be profitable to invest in battery companies at this time? And it's not just mobile phones. Think about it, after the popularity of mobile phones, laptops will

Will it not become popular? Society is always moving forward, and we should always take a longer-term view, and don’t care about the gains and losses of one dollar or two in front of us.”

Li Yiwen suddenly realized: "So the battery they made has great potential?"

Lu Yiming said: "Yes, according to statistics and forecasts from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, our country's mobile phone sales this year will exceed 80 million units, and every mobile phone requires at least one lithium battery, and many people even like to buy a few more.

The batteries can be used interchangeably. Think about it, if the polymer battery in Zeng Yuqun’s hands is successfully developed, how much money can I make from my investment?”

As Lu Yiming spoke, Li Yiwen's breathing began to become rapid.

"In this way, Zeng Yuqun and the others are completely on the edge of the wind when they start their business this time. When the wind of this era comes, I am afraid that even a pig will be blown away."

Holding the technical patent of polymer lithium battery in hand, and coincidentally catching up with the good era when Xia people popularized mobile phones, it was really difficult not to make money.

Of course, this money should indeed be earned by Zeng Yuqun and others. After all, they are a technology start-up company that is engaged in technology research and development in a down-to-earth manner. They do not rely on hype, let alone marketing.

The Leitian Group ultimately failed because after Zhong Leitian developed a new type of battery, he became obsessed with profiteering and playing with capital, and in the end, he played a good card to pieces.

If Zhong Leitian could work on R&D and product development in a down-to-earth manner, there would never have been the CATL era.

Later, Li Yiwen praised Lu Yiming full of praise and said: "Cousin, you are still awesome, you can pull gold out of the sand."

Lu Yiming said: "It's not that I have a good vision, but that they are inherently golden. Even without me, they can still succeed. And my appearance only speeds up the process."

Li Yiwen became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke: "I find that you seem to particularly like investing in this kind of technologically innovative enterprises."

Lu Yiming said calmly: "Technological innovation can often subvert the existing market, which can bring the greatest benefits. What's more, high technology is the core and most important cornerstone of a country. Compared with investing in stocks and real estate, I

I also hope that Xia’s comprehensive national strength can be rapidly improved.”

The bigger your business gets, the more you understand the importance of "background" and "backer."

Lu Yiming is from the Xia Kingdom, so his interests are bound to be deeply tied to the Xia Kingdom. Without a strong motherland, he might not be able to straighten his back when doing business outside, and he might even be treated like a pig and killed.

.

Therefore, within his ability, Lu Yiming still hopes that his motherland will become stronger and stronger to protect his business and investment abroad.

Without a strong country, how can there be a rich family?

Why don't you want the rise of a big country? All you want is the dignity of small people. If you don't live in a big country, the bottom class can only be cattle and horses. Looking at the world, how many countries are still digging for food in the garbage dump? How can there be any dignity at all?

Lu Yiming still understands this truth.

With Lu Yiming's financial blessing and Lu Yiming's suggestions, New Energy Technology changed its thinking and began to study the formula of electrolyte. It achieved a breakthrough in a short period of time and successfully developed a battery that does not bulge.

Under Lu Yiming's publicity campaign, this battery of New Energy Technology quickly became popular through various media reports. Anyway, you don't have to pay taxes to brag. Lu Yiming owns several newspapers and knows TV stations.

As long as you spend money, these people will help you survive, not to mention that this battery itself is very awesome.

After one operation, the limelight of New Energy Technology immediately overshadowed the Leitian Group. After all, Leitian Group developed a great product that caused a sensation in the industry and gained a reputation. But the reputation of New Energy Technology,

Not only does it have excellent products as a foundation, but it also has Lu Yiming’s fancy publicity.

For example, in addition to the safety of batteries, Lu Yiming deliberately provides guidance on mobile phone batteries and laptop batteries, letting people know at a glance that this stuff has a bright future and a lot of money.

After some bragging, even the old employer, the Japanese-owned company TDK, has said that it is willing to spend one billion to buy new energy technology.

This is not a valuation, but a real cash offer.

The "Approaching Science" column even sent an invitation to Zeng Yuqun to participate in a program to explain this battery.

New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. has a joyful atmosphere.

Chen Tanghua said: "After this battle, we have completely turned around and made the decision. Before, we couldn't get investment even if we begged grandpa or grandma. Now those capitals are rushing to give us money."

Huang Shilin said with a smile: "Isn't that right? Let me tell you about a person, Shen Peng from Sequoia Capital. Are you familiar with it? I contacted him several times before, hoping that Sequoia Capital could invest in us, but he couldn't even say anything.

He didn't say anything and just hung up the phone on me. Well now, I received a call from him this morning, saying he would come over and treat me to morning tea in the next few days."

"Sequoia Capital?"

Hearing this name, Zeng Yuqun couldn't help but be surprised. After all, Sequoia Capital is a powerful entity.

Sequoia Capital was established in Silicon Valley in the United States in 1972. Over the years after its establishment, Sequoia Capital became the first institutional investor to invest in many innovative leaders such as Apple, Google, Cisco, Oracle, Yahoo, and Linkedin.

Trendy company.

The fact that New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. can be favored by Sequoia Capital means that the company has made great progress.

Huang Shilin said excitedly: "Yes, do you think we should have contact with them?"

Liang Shaokang said: "I don't think it's appropriate. Sequoia Capital is indeed powerful, but what we are holding is the thigh of the richest man in Xia Country, Lu Yiming. After all, the richest man in Xia Country is more powerful than a foreign capital company.
