After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 204: $22.45 billion in dividends

"It should be that he has mastered L2 intelligent driving, but he is reluctant to put it on Qin."

Li Bing talked with many engineers. Having worked in the automotive industry for so many years, he can be considered a semi-expert.

It is predicted that if BYD Qin has good sales and reputation, it will soon launch its next model, which will most likely be an SUV for the mid-range market.

In the mid- and low-end market, several new forces are envious, but they do not have the strength to engage in a price war with BYD.

After all, BYD claims that it can even produce a nut by itself, but they still need others to produce it for them.

If we need to compete with BYD in the future, we will definitely not be able to compete with it. We can only target the high-end market and win by quality.

Listening to their conversation, Lu Liang absorbed knowledge like a sponge, as if he was back to the time when he was learning foreign languages ​​last year.

Li Bing was so engrossed in the conversation that he didn't dare ignore Lu Liang: "Boss Lu, how is the development of the car computer going?"

“I estimate that in three or four months, we will have a basic version 1.0.”

Ever since Hu Weiwei went to the capital, Lu Liang has been relieved and basically doesn't have to worry about anything over there.

The first thing she did when she started working at Tianxing Technology was to integrate project information and create a report that Lu Liang could understand.

Li Jiahui is a genius, but he is still a mortal. Even though he has the support of Tsinghua University, he often has personal guidance from academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and he has 35 professors, doctors, and masters in computer science to assist him.

But it is obviously unrealistic to develop a completely independent car system in just half a year. Fortunately, Lu Liang’s requirement is that it can be used by the mainstream market, and then it can be improved slowly in the future.

After careful consideration, we decided to adopt Android's basic architecture and then appropriately draw on Tesla's publicly disclosed patented technology.

After all, Tesla has disclosed all its patented technologies, firstly to become an industry benchmark, and secondly to allow all companies to help it develop algorithms for free.

But after all, they have nothing and are starting from scratch, so they can still learn a little when necessary.

Take the strengths of all parties and make up for their weaknesses.

Lu Liang did not object. After all, it was a public technology. He just reminded that people should learn from others when necessary, but they should never use the other party's architecture. They should distinguish the primary from the secondary.

After all, the other party wants to play the trick of making the world united and become the leader of the martial arts world. If you use him, he will be able to use you in the future.

If the progress bar is 100%, it has just reached 10%.

However, 0-1% took more than a month, while 1-10% only took two weeks, and another three or four months would be about the same.

"It's so fast! I hope the Tianxing car computer can surpass our NIO car computer." A trace of worry flashed across Li Bing's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel envious. It's good to be rich.

The progress of Luliang's R&D team has come from behind and is almost on par with them. It is still unknown who will win the competition for the car computer in December.

Lu Liang smiled calmly and said softly: "Boss Li, it's not a question of who is surpassing whom. This is all for the good of ES8."

As an investor, he reminded Li Bing that NIO could develop car computers, but the focus should still be on ES8.

R&D is a bottomless pit. If NIO insists on its own way, they may reconsider whether to continue investing in NIO.

"Yes, it's all for the good of es8." Li Bing woke up as if from a dream and quickly smiled apologetically. He naturally heard that Lu Liang was reminding him.

For a moment, he almost forgot that Lu Liang was not only a competitor of NIO's car computers, but also NIO's founding investor.

Even if everything goes smoothly, NIO will still be in a state of extreme cash shortage in the next two years.

No matter who you offend, you must not offend the financial backer.

"The car will be left here. We don't have much money, so don't try to do anything like borrow one and get two in return." Lu Liang planned to leave.

The new energy industry was developing faster than he had expected, and it was time to expand the scale of assets a little more.

At noon the next day, invitation letters were sent from the company to all fund investors.

Fund No. 1 will make its second dividend, Fund No. 2 will make its first dividend, and the establishment of Fund No. 3 will be discussed.

On this day, business leaders from all over the world gathered together, including Zhu Hu and Lei Jun from Beijing, Shen Peng and Guo Changguang from Shanghai, and the three brothers Li, Guo and Zheng from Hong Kong.

Before the meeting, everyone was chatting in the reception room. When they saw the familiar faces, they were filled with emotion.

These people, including them, are Lu Liang’s connections.

It is no exaggeration to say that if there were a terrorist attack at this moment, the national economy would regress by at least three years.

"Boss Lu, you're still like this, you like to keep us in suspense." Someone couldn't help but laugh and tease. Today is the 24th, and tomorrow at noon, Tianxing No. will update the net value of this month, and thus we can know how much Lu Liang made by shorting the yen last week.

However, he chose today of all times and sent out invitations three days in advance, almost catching them all as black carp.

Xu Xiaojun, dressed in a suit and tie, came up to the crowd and said with a smile, "It is said to be around three to five hundred million US dollars."

He learned this number from Xiao Wang. Considering their relationship, it should be quite convincing.

He looked at everyone, his eyes full of emotion. If Lu Liang became his brother-in-law, these people would also become relatives of their family.

Unfortunately, Lu Liang was not interested in Xu Huiqi. Even that day, when his sister took a taxi back home by herself, he was scolded for a long time.

"Compared with the dividends of No. 1 and No. 2, I care more about the fundraising scale of No. 3." Someone else said suddenly.

If it was just about dividends, there probably wouldn't be so many main people coming today. The key lies in the project negotiation on No. 3.

There is no doubt that the management scale of Fund No. 3 should far exceed the total funds of Funds No. 1 and No. 2.

"Xiao Cong is here, why bother here if you ask him?"

This man was very familiar with Wang Xiaocong. He waved and Xiao Wang hurried over: "Uncle Zhou, long time no see."

"Xiao Cong, you have a good relationship with President Lu. What's the situation with Fund No. 3?" the man asked with a smile.

Xiao Wang said bitterly: "Uncle Zhou, to be honest, he thinks I am a loud speaker and won't tell me."

On the day he received the invitation, he hurried to find Lu Liang, but although he said he would do it, Lu Liang refused to reveal it.

He paused and said, "Mr. Lu, it seems that you were still considering the scale at that time. The amount involved should be quite a lot."

Uncle Zhou laughed when he heard this: "Even if it's 2 billion or 3 billion, there won't be enough for everyone here."

In the middle of the month, Lu Liang shorted the Japanese yen. Even if he made a profit of US$22 million, the two funds would have a guaranteed profit of US$ billion.

In half a year, the principal has tripled. Even though Fund No. 3 raised 5 billion US dollars, many people still flocked to it.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, saying that money was not a problem.

Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "Boss Lu is here."

Lu Liang put on a suit that he had only worn a few times in a year, smiled and waved to everyone: "Everyone, please come in."

He was very lucky that he rented a 3800-square-meter office last year, otherwise he would have to move again this year.

A large area does not mean good or beautiful, but if the area is small, various defects will be infinitely magnified.

A conference room of more than 200 square meters.

It is more than enough to accommodate seventy or eighty people.

Lu Liang came on stage and said hello, then sat down in the audience and asked Wen Chao to come on stage and talk about his investment journey over the past six months.

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen. It has been nine months since the issuance of Fund No. 1."

"In December last year, we made our first dividend, which was $12 million."

“I believe that the dividend cycle profit rate at that time was unmatched anywhere in the world.”

“After half a year, we gathered together again and added 23 investors from Fund II.”

Facing a group of bigwigs, Wen Chao was a little hesitant at first, but gradually he became at ease and talked freely.

Although a lot of seemingly unnecessary nonsense was said, it was also an action that Lu Liang tacitly approved.

Because he needs to make them realize that money doesn't fall from the sky, and the high management fees they pay, and even the share they get through a trust relationship, are all worth it in the face of the current benefits.

After speaking for more than ten minutes, he finally got to one of the topics that everyone was most concerned about, the amount of dividends and the total assets of the two funds.

The two funds have a total asset of US$33.45 billion. They plan to reserve US$11 billion in principal and distribute the remaining US$22.45 billion in profits as dividends.

　I missed it tonight, I’ll find time to make up for it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
