After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 262 The Strongest Capital Group

"The speed of a train depends entirely on the locomotive. Mr. Lu's vision is as sharp as ever."

Zhang Lei complimented with a smile, and they looked at each other and saw Lu Liang's determination to get out of private equity.

Zhu Hu hesitated for a moment and asked indirectly, "Mr. Lu, what are your plans next?"

Assuming that Lu Liang left private equity in order to set up a public fund, he must have other intentions, and they must be quite big.

Among the five people present, four are private equity fund managers. They are very clear about the difference between public and private equity.

Private equity funds have high freedom and high management fees. They are relatively free and not restricted by so many rules and regulations. All you have to do is explain things to investors.

However, public offerings are open to the general public. Although they have strong credibility and their managed assets have increased several times or even dozens of times, they also have many corresponding restrictions.

With Lu Liang's ability, managing private equity funds, charging high management fees, and serving only a small number of people is undoubtedly the best choice for him.

But he has always kept an eye on public funds, probably for the asset management that can increase several times or even dozens of times.

With Tianxing’s current reputation, even if it issues a new fund with a scale of tens of billions of dollars, there will be a lot of people flocking to it.

In this way, the scale of asset management easily exceeded US$150 billion, nearly RMB billion.

He was not satisfied with so much money.
What do you want to do that requires so much money?
"I have always been optimistic about the new energy industry."

Lu Liang smiled and told the truth.

Obviously he was telling the truth, but no one present believed him.

This year is almost over, and the new energy market has increased rapidly, up 100% year-on-year. But it has only increased from 25 units to the predicted 50 units, that's all.

Even if we take the average, a car priced at 10 yuan is mainly lowered by the Hongguang mini.

The total transaction volume of this market for the whole year is only 500 billion, which is less than half of the total transaction volume of Tmall Double Eleven.

If you tell others that you are launching a public fund with a guaranteed minimum of 500 billion yuan just for a market of only billion yuan, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Lu Liang drank a sip of tea.
It's frustrating, but there's not much to explain.

It is true that new energy has always been a hot topic, but market data always pours cold water on people.

There is potential, but it is an indisputable fact that currently this is a market of less than 500 billion.

At this time, a hearty laugh came from the side: "Everyone, what are you talking about?"

Old Ma, wearing an orange woolen sweater, walked towards them with big strides, surrounded by a crowd of people.

"We were just chatting. Mr. Ma is considered a landlord, so why hasn't he arrived yet? Is he being a big shot?"

Zhu Hu laughed and changed the subject. They could talk about this topic, but it would be better not to let Lao Ma know about it.

Ant Financial, which went online in 14, has grown into a gluttonous behemoth in just a few years, and has also made the market realize that Ma has big ambitions.

In particular, Tianhong Fund, which cooperates with Yu'ebao, had more than 3 million users and an asset management scale of over one trillion yuan as of the third quarter.

Zhu Hu was shocked and suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Liang. Could it be that this was the reason why he came to attend the meeting?
In recent years, Alipay's P2P lending business has developed very well, even surpassing Tmall's O2O e-commerce model and 1688's B2B manufacturer direct sales model.
If Lu Liang came for Lao Ma, and the two of them started in-depth cooperation, perhaps a huge financial empire would rise.

Alipay has 300 million users who have the habit of saving. Coupled with Lu Liang's unparalleled influence in the financial world, the chemical reaction produced is even no less than the merger of Xigua and Douyin.

Zhu Hu's face suddenly flushed. If he could take this express train, perhaps he could really live forever and live with the country.

"Everyone here is a big shot, who dares to act like a big shot?"

Old Ma laughed loudly, and fixed his eyes on Lu Liang, smiling: "Mr. Lu, we finally meet. I was not there when you went to Hangzhou last time. It was such a pity."

He is very interested in Lu Liang because in recent years, the Ali Group has gradually shifted its focus from e-commerce to Ant Financial.

Alipay has changed people's payment habits and broken the monopoly of banks, but he wants more.

As he said in a forum, the state-owned banking system is too backward and should keep up with the development of the times.

If you can't keep up with the times, you will be eliminated.

Ant Financial may be able to produce a wonderful chemical reaction with Lu Liang.

"Mr. Ma, it's not too late to meet now." Lu Liang smiled and stood up to shake hands with Mr. Ma.

The king of e-commerce that I have always seen on news and TV finally got to experience what I have seen today.

Old Ma smiled and looked at Lu Liang.

But soon, everyone's attention was drawn to what was behind him.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound at the entrance of the hotel restaurant, as if a superstar had appeared.

Lao Ma turned his head to take a look, smiled and said jokingly: "Here comes the real big shot."

Xiao Ma Ge, dressed in a suit, entered the restaurant, saw them, and walked over. Compared with Ali, Penguin's reputation is obviously much better, although it is often called the king of copycats. But that is only in the past. When you are poor, you can use tactics, and when you are rich, you can invest heavily.

Penguins nowadays don’t need to copy others, they can just spend money directly, either by acquiring others or investing in them.

The key is that Penguin is willing to delegate power. Pony Ma was severely criticized for paying wages with Q coins in the early years. Now he is low-key and ruthless, and is almost a perfect client dad.

It’s a pity that Xiao Ma Ge’s purpose is very clear, and no one dares to step forward to stop him and have a conversation.

Xiao Ma Ge greeted everyone and finally turned his attention to Lu Liang: "Mr. Lu, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Ma, is today considered an offline meeting with netizens?" Lu Liang responded with a smile.

They often chat in the NIO group, but this is the first time they meet offline.

"Okay." Xiao Ma Ge smiled and nodded. He looked serious and seemed like two different people from the introverted guy in the group.

Shen Peng suddenly suggested: "Everyone, why don't we go to a quieter place? Some friends will be coming over later."

Currently, they have the heads of four major venture capital institutions, as well as Shuangma Group and Lei Jun of Xiaomi.

It is no exaggeration to say that this seven-member group is the strongest capital group in the country. It may not be appropriate for them to continue dining in the hall.

Now there is a vacuum zone within five meters around, and in the entire restaurant, the only sound is the slight collision of chopsticks and knives and forks.

However, the restaurant was not only populated by businessmen, but also by foreign guests and leaders who arrived one after another. They stood out too much by staying here.

"Okay, Mr. Shen, you can arrange it."

Everyone agreed, and they went to the extra-large box prepared by the hotel, which was more than enough to accommodate 30 people.

After a while, Qiangzi from JD.com, Cheng Wei from Didi, Wang Xin from Meituan, Li Hongyan from Baidu, Ding Sanshi from NetEase and others also came.

Some of them I have seen before and some I haven’t, but they are all smart people and I don’t feel awkward even if I just met them.

"Everyone, let's pair up and play a few rounds?" Da Qiangzi's face was full of excitement, and he decided to play a few rounds of mahjong first as usual.

There were exactly three groups of four people in each group. The bad habit of playing chess before and after meals seemed to have spread from their circle in northern Jiangsu.

Lu Liang was assigned to a group with Xiao Ma Ge, Da Qiangzi, and Cheng Wei from Didi.

For a while, the dozen exhaust fans in the box were not enough, as almost everyone was a heavy smoker.

Especially Xiao Ma Ge, although he looks gentle and refined, he becomes extremely fierce when he starts smoking.

Often the cigarettes in the ashtray are not completely burned out before he lights another one, and he smokes seven or eight cigarettes in more than an hour.

Lu Liang kept coughing and was choking. As a person who had just recovered from an illness and was planning to quit smoking, the thing he could not stand the most was the smell of cigarettes.

Fortunately, the red-robed leader Zhou Hongwei arrived late, and Lu Liang gave him the position to serve as a mobile judge.

"You still dare to draw orders like this, and you are not right?"

"Tsk, tsk, this card sucks."

"Straight wins."

Then, Lu Liang was boycotted by everyone, and was disliked wherever he went.

Fortunately, happy time always passes quickly and it is time to eat.

"It's rare that so many people are here today, let's take a photo to commemorate it."

Lu Liang suddenly suggested that the participants of this dinner came from all over the world and everyone was busy with their work.

In the past, we didn’t have time to meet each other. It’s rare that we can get together like this and happen to all have time.

"Okay." Everyone's faces flushed and they nodded.

Everyone was having a good time drinking tonight. After all, it is rare to meet so many people of equal status who have common topics.

Lu Liang called Wen Chao who was at the door, took a group photo of the thirteen of them, and uploaded it to his Weibo account.

As soon as the photo was uploaded, they were still drinking and chatting, but it caused an uproar in the outside world.

"The most powerful dinner party in the country?"

"Fuck, a trillion-dollar drinking party?"

"Ten billion is just the entry threshold."

A curious netizen made a statistic and found that the total wealth of the thirteen people is only more than 200 billion US dollars.

But if we talk about the companies they represent or the funds they hold, it easily exceeds two trillion US dollars.
