After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 103 Free Drama

At 1.85: pm, the plane landed and Lu Liang turned on his laptop and connected it to the portable WiFi. The account holdings reached million, and everything was going smoothly.

Maybe it was also because Lao Meng was holding a cigar and looked ferocious, but in any case, nothing went wrong.

"It looks like it will be a lot easier in the future."

Lu Liang smiled and stretched.

He had been to Beijing once seven years ago, and that time he was with Liu Mingxuan.

At that time, the two were in their prime and would occasionally travel to other places, and the capital was their first stop.

Unlike in recent years, especially after he got married, when he has free time, he just wants to lie down and soak his feet.

"Mr. Lu, let's go to the hotel first." Wen Chao took Fang Shiyu back to the luggage from the track.

Each person had a small suitcase containing some relevant documents and two to three days' worth of clothing.

Tomorrow is Saturday, and Lu Liang is not in a hurry to go back. He plans to stay for another day or two after participating in ofo's financing and take a look at the beauties in the capital.

Wen Chao walked and made a phone call. He called the hotel driver to confirm the location, and then hurried back: "Mr. Lu, the driver sent by the hotel is at Gate 2. Let's go directly there."

A black Alpha, with a driver in a suit and tie standing next to the car with a respectful smile on his face.

Lu Liang sat in the back row, and the few of them went to the hotel to settle down first, and then went to the Xike Hotel next to Peking University.

Ofo's valuation is set at US$1700 million. Although it is US$700 million more than Mobike, its financing is much smaller.

A small banquet hall that can accommodate 50 people. There are basically no waiters, and they are all ofo's creative team.

"Mr. Lu, on behalf of all the employees of ofo, I welcome you." Dai Wei was smiling and full of energy. His whole temperament was very different from two months ago.

After all, two months ago, ofo's valuation was only 500 million RMB, but today, two months later, it is 1700 million US dollars.

It has increased 21 times, and he still holds 56% of the shares.

"Mr. Dai, I just came over to take a look. You guys go and entertain other people." Lu Liang looked at everyone in the conference room.

He seemed to have arrived a little early, or maybe the big guys usually made the final appearance, so Zhu Hu of Jinsha River was not seen.

"Mr. Lu, please do as you please."

Dai Wei left in a hurry after saying this because a short-haired and capable working woman came in from outside.

Wen Chao said softly, “Mr. Lu, that’s Liu Qing, the president of Didi and also the executive director of Goldman Sachs.”

As a qualified secretary, he must remember who might come today in case Lu Liang doesn't know the person.

Lu Liang said softly: "She is still Liu Xiangzhi's daughter."

It was hard for him not to know Liu Qing. Last month, the venture capital circle was almost dominated by Didi’s US$20 billion financing.

This is the world's largest financing for a non-listed company and also the largest financing in the Internet field to date.

It is said that this deal was facilitated by Liu Qing, but no one knows how much effort Old Liu put in behind the scenes.

After all, no matter how talented you are, there must be a limit. He graduated from graduate school at the age of 25 and joined Goldman Sachs. At the age of 27, he became the executive director of Goldman Sachs' Asia-Pacific region. At the age of 30, he became the general manager of Asia. Last year, at the age of 36, he was parachuted into Didi as COO and this year he facilitated US$20 billion in financing.

Lu Liang took a look and stopped paying attention, concentrating on waiting for his beloved brother Zhu Hu, the man who Shen Peng said was not a good person.

Liu Qing talked to Dai Wei for a few words, then suddenly walked up to Lu Liang and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I'm Liu Qing."

"Mr. Liu, we were just talking about how you raised a huge amount of 20 billion yuan for Didi, which will definitely go down in history."

Lu Liang stood up and shook hands with a smile on his face.

But he suddenly had a bad feeling. After all, Liu Qing's appearance here was a strange thing in itself.

As if to verify Lu Liang's guess, the next second, Liu Qing said bluntly: "Mr. Lu, I heard that you have 20% of ofo's shares. Can you bear the pain and give it up?"

Lu Liang suddenly realized: "Boss Liu, I can't say I'm reluctant, as long as the price is right, I don't mind."

Liu Qing was delighted. She didn't expect Lu Liang to be so easy to talk to. She hesitated for a moment and said, "400 million US dollars, what do you think?"

"A premium of 17.6%." Surprise flashed in Lu Liang's eyes.

Acquiring his shares at a valuation of US$2000 million shows great sincerity.

"Yes, once the equity transfer contract is signed, the funds are guaranteed to arrive within two days."

Didi has just completed a $20 billion financing round, and the company has over $35 billion in cash reserves, so $400 million is not even a fraction of it.

Liu Qing had also investigated beforehand and found out that Lu Liang only needed a 200 million loan agreement and 100 million RMB to get a 20% stake in ofo.

400 million US dollars, more than 2500 million RMB.

The money increased 25 times in two months and was deposited into her account all at once. She really couldn't think of any reason why Lu Liang would refuse.

Lu Liang did not think of refusing, but he was wondering what Liu Qing's intention was.
Suddenly he thought of Shen Peng's words.

Investing in Mobike is just a process, not a result. This is the case with Meituan, not to mention Didi, which is more closely related.

“Selling it now is like throwing away the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds.”

Suddenly, there was a hearty laugh, and a middle-aged man with a crew cut came forward with big strides: "A new Internet company has 1700 million US dollars in round A financing, so can't the B round have 1.7 million?"

Liu Qing raised her eyebrows and looked unkind: "Boss Zhu, you can't say that. Jinshajiang has invested in so many companies. Are there not many companies that made it to the B round after the A round?" Zhu Hu said with a smile: "There are indeed quite a few, but OFO is definitely not among them."

"Mr. Lu, nice to meet you, Jinshajiang Zhu Hu." He turned to look at Lu Liang and extended his right hand.

"Tianxing Lu Liang." Lu Liang was puzzled.

Is this what Shen Peng meant by not being a good person?

In comparison, Shen Peng seems a bit hypocritical.

"Boss Zhu, how dare you make such a promise?"

Liu Qing saw that Lu Liang was already a little tempted. If Zhu Hu hadn't intervened, maybe it would have worked.

"Because Jinshajiang is going to lead the A round of investment, and because I, Zhu Hu, am optimistic about ofo." Zhu Hu's smile remained on his face, revealing his domineering side.

Liu Qing chuckled and said, "Boss Zhu, don't be so absolute. It's still unclear whether Jinshajiang can lead the A round."

Zhu Hu narrowed his eyes, like a man-eating tiger: "It's just a traffic interface. Just because Jinshajiang doesn't have it doesn't mean I don't have it."

Liu Qing was stunned: "Who did you convince?"

"Guess." Zhu Hu smiled.

“Then congratulations in advance to Jinshajiang for its successful lead investment.”

Liu Qing couldn't guess and didn't want to guess, so she turned to look at Lu Liang: "Mr. Lu, this is my business card. If you are interested, you can contact me at any time."

"You're not old, but you have a lot of temper."

Zhu Hu looked at Liu Qing's hurriedly leaving back and knew that she would not give up easily.

But he was confident that Dai Wei would choose him instead of Liu Qing.

Zhu Hu smiled and asked, "Mr. Lu, does it look good?"

This is how a good company raises funds, with investors competing to give money and provide resources.

The dispute between their two families gave Lu Liang a free show, and they didn't even charge him for it.

Lu Liang looked at Liu Qing's back and thought: "It's okay, but a little flat."

"???"

"???"

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Zhu Hu laughed: "You should have met Shen Peng, right? Didn't he say anything to you?"

Lu Liang said modestly: "If I say it out loud, I'm afraid it might seem like bragging."

"Tell me."

"Mr. Shen admires me very much and thinks I will be an excellent investor."

Zhu Hu was stunned. He looked at Lu Liang carefully a few more times, and the more he looked, the more strange it seemed: "Did he say anything bad about me?"

"How is your relationship?"

“We’ve known each other since 92.”

Lu Liang thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "Boss Shen said you are not a good person and asked me to be more careful."

Zhu Hu looked calm, as if he had expected this, and said with a smile, "Then do you know what Shen Peng told me about you?"

Lu Liang shook his head.

Zhu Hu said: "He said that you look a lot like me."

Lu Liang was shocked, took a step back, looked at Zhu Hu carefully, and sighed: "Mr. Shen, you have a good eye for investment, but your eye for people is not that good."

Now he finally understood why Shen Peng said that Zhu Hu was not a good person. If Shen Peng really said that he was like Zhu Hu, then he was also saying that he was not a good person.

Zhu Hu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Damn it, Shen Peng should also listen to it."

"Isn't it?" Lu Liang said with a smile.

"Yes."

Zhu Hu looked at Lu Liang with increasing admiration, just like a dung beetle finding a companion: "Sell it to me during the B round, and I'll buy your shares at a 20% premium."

"it is good."

Lu Liang did not think twice, not even for a second.

The drama just now was not watched in vain. He was not only concerned about Liu Qing's figure. The help he provided to ofo was infinitely close to zero. Providing funds was the lowest threshold.

An investor who cannot provide help will be eliminated sooner or later, so it is better to go with the flow and do him a favor.

The valuation of the B round of financing, with a 20% premium, was almost what he expected.
