After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 194 Tit for tat
At noon on the 25th, Tianxing Phase I updated its net value.

The net value this month still did not break 3, and the monthly increase even hit a new low, less than 10%.

However, a group of investors are very patient, because Lu Liang's comments on Twitter show that he is determined to take action on the Japanese yen.

It’s just that the most appropriate time has not yet arrived. Maybe now is the calm before the storm.

At the same time, the brother-in-law drove his father-in-law's Volvo to take Lu Liang and others to the nearby high-speed rail station.

My hometown is less than 300 kilometers away from Ningde, and it is best to take the high-speed rail, which takes only an hour and a half to get there.

"Brother-in-law, please go back. We are about to enter the station."

Lu Liang watched his brother-in-law leave, and suddenly remembered that his sister's family didn't seem to have a family car, only a delivery van.

On the other hand, in his warehouse in Shanghai, there are seven or eight cars, both those that can be driven and those that cannot.

There were two Tesla Model Xs alone, and because Li Bing dismantled his own, he had two more.

But Lu Liang doesn't quite trust this kind of pure electric car, and Lambo and Ferrari seem a little too high-profile.

Wen Chao seemed to see what Lu Liang was thinking, and whispered, "Boss Lu, the company still has an A4 that Boss Tang retired."

Lu Liang's eyes lit up and he smiled approvingly: "Then go make a contact and send someone to drive the car over."

As far as he knew, Tang Caidie's A4 was probably driven less than 3000 kilometers before it was directly replaced with a Panamera.

It has been gathering dust in the parking lot till now.

Let Lu Ya drive it for a while first, and then give her a comminuted fracture and sell it to her.

If she gave it to him directly, he probably wouldn't accept it, and Lu Liang would probably be severely scolded by her.

At 2:30 pm, the high-speed train arrived in Ningde.

Ningde Times sent several special cars to pick us up, and there was also a vice president named Su Boyuan accompanying them.

"Mr. Lu, the other side is the West Factory, which is also our main production base. We are now heading to the Engineering Center."

Arriving at Chijian Lake, Su Boyuan gave a warm introduction, saying that their industrial park can be seen on both sides of the lake.

Ningde is the name of a city, and the reason they dare to call it the Ningde Era naturally comes from the support of the local government. He just wants to show how powerful Ningde is.

Lu Liang smiled and said, "I went to Shenzhen some time ago and found that many city buses there have been switched to electric drive."

He came here this time for the financing of Ningde and planned to take up all the subscribed shares by himself.

Ningde’s valuation is between 330 billion and 360 billion. Su Boyuan hopes to go to the upper limit, while Lu Liang naturally hopes to go to the lower limit.

Hujian is a coastal province and Ningde is a coastal city. The economies of coastal cities are not bad.

If he really brags as if Niende was born for the Niende era, then the valuation will definitely be maxed out.

Su Boyuan didn't mind the embarrassment of being exposed: "BYD has been established for 21 years. Power batteries, vehicle manufacturing, and rail transportation are all one of their main businesses."

Only five years have passed since its establishment, and Ningde Times has become one of the top three power battery suppliers in the world.

If they were given another 16 years of development time, their achievements might surpass BYD.

"The speed of technological change is very fast," Lu Liang said with emotion.

As powerful as Nokia was back then, the valuation of its mobile phone division alone reached $3000 billion, but recently there have been reports that it plans to sell it as a package for $30 billion.

A dynasty is gone in the blink of an eye, and four presidents have been replaced in sixteen years.

Su Boyuan was speechless for a moment. A whole dynasty could have changed in sixteen years, and there were indeed many uncertainties.

Fortunately, the vehicle stopped steadily and arrived at the engineering center.

Zeng Minqun stood at the door with a smile on her face, with a red carpet banner and employees lining the way to greet her.

"Mr. Zeng, long time no see. The scene today is a bit over the top." Lu Liang joked with a smile.

Lao Zeng shook his head slightly, still smiling: "Not too much, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Apparently he also believed the rumors. After all, Lu Liang first invested in NIO, then in Ideal, and even set up a research and development project team.

This is not something a serious investor would do. It only shows that Lu Liang intends to build the car himself.

"I hope it will be as Mr. Zeng wishes." Lu Liang chuckled.

Several people followed Zeng Minqun into the engineering center and visited the R&D department, battery department, and production department. Lu Liang stayed in Ningde for a week, and during this time, a steady stream of colleagues came from Shanghai to participate in the company audit.

This is an investment project of over 30 billion yuan, and it is estimated to be the last financing before Ningde Times goes public.

If all goes well, PIO will be launched as early as the end of the year, followed by a roadshow and finally a listing on the A-share market next year.

In fact, Nieder originally wanted to go public on the U.S. stock market and was even close to reaching a $35 billion partnership deal with Ford.

Last year, Ford prepared to spend $35 billion to build a lithium iron phosphate battery factory. Nindex was responsible for providing technical and service support for the factory. In short, Nindex provided the work and Ford paid.

However, it was suppressed by the state, so Ningde’s road to listing in the United States was cut short, and it could only choose A-shares.

"It will cost at least $5 million."

Lu Liang plans to invest in US dollars, which is a temptation that no company can refuse.

Especially for NINDE, which has no hope of going public in the United States, they may need this dollar investment even more because they have been setting up laboratories in countries around the world in the past few years.

“It’s just where the money is coming from.”

Lu Liang had a headache, even though the total assets of the two funds he managed exceeded US$28.5 billion.

But today is June 6rd, and in less than 3 days, the outcome of the events in the south will be announced to the public.

The funds they have currently raised, including reserve funds, are only US$12.5 billion, which is still US$20 million short of US$7.5 billion.

If US$5 million is invested in Ningde Times, the funding gap will reach US$12.5 billion.

I don’t know if we can get it together in early July.

After much deliberation, Lu Liang decided to delay the investment in Ningde Times until at least the end of July.

After all, he can provide US dollar financing.

We can still discuss the conditions in more detail.

The next morning, the two sides had a heated discussion.

Mainly about the valuation issues of Ningde Times.

Ningde naturally hopes that the valuation will be as high as possible and will produce the new energy sales report for the first quarter of this year.

New and old car companies are ready to go, and various capitals are eager to move, preparing to enter the new energy industry.

As the world's top power battery supplier, their sales will naturally see explosive growth in the future.

Analysts predict that this year's shipments should reach more than 7.0GWh, or 14 lithium batteries.

Tang Caidie retorted: "According to our investigation, Ningde's power batteries account for 19.2% of the national market. So, does your company think that the sales volume of new energy vehicles this year will reach 70 units?"

"The sales volume in the first quarter of this year was only 7.8 units. Do you think that in the next three quarters, the sales volume will average 20 units per quarter?"

The two teams confronted each other and argued, compressing the valuation to between 335 and 345.

Although the difference is only 10 billion, Ningde is investing % of its equity in financing this time.

For every additional 100 million yuan in valuation, Tianxing Investment will have to pay an additional 10 million yuan in financing.

Not to mention one billion.

Lu Liang and Zeng Minqun were drinking tea and chatting cheerfully, but when they talked about national affairs, they always couldn't avoid the affairs in the south.

"This time, I will never retreat, and I cannot retreat."

Zeng Minqun looked serious and extremely determined.

If they retreat this time, the achievements of decades of reform and opening up will vanish, because wealth without military support is just castles in the air.

Just like Japan next door, the Americans can cut it however they want. I think Lu Liang should have a deep understanding of this. It is said that he is also one of the harvesters.

Lu Liang agreed: "We definitely cannot and will not retreat, but I don't know if the Americans will retreat."

Zeng Minqun pondered for a long time: "Whether the Americans will back down depends on whether our attitude is firm enough."

He couldn't help but sigh: "If we had the ambition to change our homeland strategy, we wouldn't dare to offend the Americans even if they were brave enough."

Lu Liang also sighed: "Back then, we were poor and barefoot, and those who wore shoes were not afraid. Now, we have families to support."
