After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 228: Disliked Wherever You Go

The next day, stricter new policies on purchase and loan restrictions were piloted in 12 cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

This move was like a shot of adrenaline, and prices of new properties in major cities across the country soared.

People who own houses are happy, while people who don’t are miserable.

“YunOS.”

Lu Liang talked a lot with Zhu Hu last night and learned a lot of information beyond the official information.

For example, last year Luo pledged 27.84% of his equity to Ali in exchange for a loan of 3.5 million yuan.

Ali is the borrower, or quasi-investor.

In recent years, Ali has been constantly promoting the Yun system, and has even invested in Meizu, allowing Meizu to use their system.

However, the market sales of mobile phones equipped with the Yun system are mediocre, which also affects the development of the Yun system.

A few days ago, Meizu released this year's flagship phone, abandoning Ali's Yun system and adopting its own Wujie.

It is rumored that Ahri is very dissatisfied and reluctant, but will probably continue to place bets in order to improve the subsequent system development and increase the voice on the mobile terminal.

The ready-made dumpling skin of the Hammer phone is very likely to become the next filling for the Yun system.

Lu Liang wants dumpling fillings and they want dumpling skins, so there is a possibility of cooperation between the two parties.

"Hmm~~ Why are you awake so early?"

Zhang Tianai snorted softly, her eyes half asleep, hugging the quilt with a hint of confusion in them.

She was like a kitten, stretching her limbs lazily, her long legs raised high, her skin as white as ivory.

With a crisp sound, Zhang Tian'ai opened her eyes wide, gasped in pain, rubbed her thighs, and rolled over and over on the bed.

Lu Liang chuckled, revealing a triumphant smile: "I have to go out early today, so you should continue to rest."

"Bad guy~"

Zhang Tianai looked resentful, lying on the bedside...

After having breakfast at the hotel, Lu Liang came to the Byte Building.

Zhang Yiming took it very seriously and waited at the door early in the morning, guarding against Lu Liang the whole time and preventing him from talking to anyone.

Lu Liang couldn't help laughing and wanted to ask if it was really that serious, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided not to do so because he was afraid that Lao Zhang would suddenly attack him.

Tik Tok’s valuation exceeds that of ByteDance, although ByteDance holds more than half of the shares and has the management decision-making power.

This should have been a completely ByteDance product, but it had to be processed by Lu Liang, which would make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Entering the company's reception room, Zhang Yiming put away his guard and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I am honored to be here today. What can I do for you?"

Lu Liang exchanged a few pleasantries and then said, "I heard that ByteDance holds a 14.55% stake in Smartisan Technology?"

The equity structure of Smartisan Technology is as follows: Luo Yonghao holds 28.46%, Ali pledges 27.84%, ByteDance holds 14.55%, GSR Ventures holds 15%, and some company executives and small investors hold a total of 14.15%.

Ahri is too strong, and Lu Liang has nothing in his hands. If he goes to negotiate directly without any bargaining chips, there is a high probability that he will not be able to reach an agreement.

If he gets the equity of Jinshajiang and ByteDance, and then goes to Ali to negotiate, he will probably be able to reach an agreement.

Because the three of them hold a total of 57.39% of the shares, which is more than half. Unless Luo Yonghao gets 3.5 million yuan to return to Ali and take back the pledged shares, the hammer will be in their shape.

Zhang Yiming nodded: "That's true. Is Mr. Lu interested?"

His expression was exactly the same as Zhu Hu's last night.

Ever since the sales of the M1 mobile phone failed, Smartisan Technology has been sentenced to a suspended death sentence by major investors. As for when it will be buried, it depends on how long Luo Yonghao can hold on.

This was an investment doomed to fail. Zhang Yiming didn't expect Lu Liang to be interested in it.

Lu Liang did not comment and continued, "Mr. Zhang, can you bear the pain and transfer 1.455 million to Jinshajiang?"

He is not a shareholder of Hammer, so if he wants to acquire the shares held by ByteDance, he needs the consent of the board of directors.

This will inevitably make Luo Yonghao wary, but fortunately Zhu Hu is willing to help him. Jinshajiang is a shareholder of Hammer and enjoys the right to repurchase shares first.

Zhang Yiming's eyes flashed: "Mr. Lu, I'm afraid this price is not appropriate."

Although I don’t know what Lu Liang wants the shares of Hammer for, the opportunity to extort money from him is not always available.

Lu Liang smiled calmly: "Mr. Zhang, I believe you should be aware of the situation of Hammer. With a valuation of 1 billion, repurchasing shares is already very sincere."

Zhang Yiming was all smiles: "It's clear that Hammer's situation is not very good, but everyone knows that Mr. Lu has a good eye. It's not an exaggeration to say that he has a Midas touch."

Although the possibility is very low, it is possible that the hammer is a rough diamond, otherwise Lu Liang would not have targeted it.

"It's the reputation that's burdening me."

Lu Liang smiled bitterly and told the truth: "I only want the Hammer system. If Mr. Zhang disagrees, then I have no choice but to give up. I can only talk to Mr. Luo about the system patent licensing. He should be very happy."

Asking Hammer to license the patent is the cheapest and most convenient way, but he doesn't want to rent it, he wants to buy it out permanently. If everyone wants to make a quick buck from him, then Lu Liang would rather talk to Luo Yonghao about licensing.

It is nothing more than paying patent fees for a few more years, waiting until Hammer goes bankrupt naturally, and then getting the patent.

However, it remains a question whether Smartisan Technology will go bankrupt and when it will file for bankruptcy.

Just like KuaiBo, it was strangled by Youku, iQiyi and Tencent Video a few years ago. The company was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve and its founder was imprisoned, but it has not gone bankrupt until now.

Lu Liang didn't want to wait for this uncertainty. The best way was to obtain controlling rights, force Hammer to go bankrupt, and force Luo Yonghao to sell his belongings.

Zhang Yiming looked thoughtful, not sure whether Lu Liang's words were true or not, but Lu Liang really seemed to have given up thinking about it, and often looked outside, as if he was planning to target the researchers in his company again.

Zhang Yiming suddenly felt something was wrong and said hurriedly, "Boss Lu, this matter is not meaningless. We can still talk about it."

Lu Liang pondered and gave Lao Zhang a way out: "Mr. Zhang, how about a 10% premium of billion? What do you think?"

"Okay." Zhang Yiming said without hesitation. A thousand dollars is a small matter, but face is a big matter. He was waiting for this step.

Afterwards, Lu Liang contacted Zhu Hu and asked him to send someone to contact him. Zhang Yiming smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, it's getting late now. Why don't we find a place to eat first?"

Lu Liang is a dangerous person. He doesn't want Lu Liang to stay in the company for long and just wants to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Lu Liang looked unhappy. He didn't eat anything before eleven o'clock. Was he so disliked? He sighed, "Mr. Zhang, let's wait until later. I haven't digested my breakfast yet."

Zhang Yiming laughed: "Yeah, maybe my family is more used to eating lunch early."

Lu Liang was speechless.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Hu had nothing to do, so he came over in person, and the two parties signed the equity transfer agreement.

Jinshajiang invested 1.605 million yuan to acquire ByteDance’s 14.55% stake in Smartisan Technology.

With this, Jinshajiang's equity has reached 29.55%, surpassing Luo Yonghao to become the largest shareholder of Smartisan.

As a result, Lu Liang also obtained the authorization letter from Jinshajiang.

Zhu Hu asked: "What are you going to do next?"

Human feelings are human feelings, but the numbers must be clear.
Helping is a favor, but this favor will not be in vain.

Although Lu Liang did not pay a penny, he promised Zhu Hu that he would give him 10% of the equity of Tianxing Technology afterwards.

This is also due to Lao Zhu's emphasis on Lu Liang. They paid a total of 1.605 million yuan and equity worth 7000 million yuan.

The total investment was 2.3 million, but they only got back 10% of Tianxing Technology's equity, which means that in their minds the valuation of Tianxing Technology has reached 23 billion.

You know, Lu Liang only invested 6.4 million yuan and has no achievements so far, but his name alone can bring a premium of 16.6 billion yuan.

"I'll go to Baidu in the afternoon, and after the Ideal press conference is over tomorrow, I'll go to Hangzhou to talk to Ali."

While they were having dinner, Lu Liang also briefly talked about the itinerary for the next few days.

"Baidu search?" Zhu Hu looked strange.

"What's wrong?" Lu Liang asked puzzledly.

"fine."

Zhu Hu shook his head.

Zhang Yiming also showed a mysterious smile.

Lu Liang was confused.

It was not until he arrived at the Baidu building in the afternoon that he understood why the two guys had that expression.

Li Yanhong received the news early in the morning and was waiting for him at the company gate, her eyes looking as if she was guarding against a thief.

What 19th to 24th floors? Lu Liang didn’t even have the chance to see the floors. He was taken directly to the office on the top floor by Lao Li.

I drank tea for two hours and didn't see anyone except Lao Li, his assistant and secretary.

Lu Liang felt very unbalanced, and went to Zhu Hu at night to ask him what had happened. What had he done to anger God and the people?
No matter where I go, people hate me.

Zhu Hu laughed loudly: "It's really not your fault. The Yang Zhenyuan incident was too widely spread."

A senior architecture engineer with an annual salary of three million, since he met Lu Liang, he has been out for a while.

In just over nine months, he returned to ByteDance, but his status and wealth soared like a rocket.

Became the co-founder of a unicorn company valued at US$18 billion and holds a 10.45% stake.

No one can resist this temptation.

If Yang Zhenyuan is a legend, then Lu Liang is the guide on the road to legend.
