After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 266: Earth Ranking No.
Lu Liang was stunned. He didn't expect that he could help Weilai and Ideal to attract investment. However, seeing that Sergey was so interested, he told Li Bing and Li Xiang their contact information.

Afterwards, the two sides discussed the details of the subsequent cooperation. They planned to maximize the investment, with a guaranteed minimum of no less than US$50 billion.

The specific amount will depend on Lu Liang. It can be said that he is given enough trust and support.

The conversation continued until the evening, and Sergei returned to the hotel, changed his clothes and prepared to attend the banquet tonight.

"Plans can't keep up with changes."

Lu Liang watched them leave.
For a moment, I was filled with mixed feelings.

Cisco's Internet of Vehicles technology was not seen, but instead a strong foundation was pulled in.

Public offerings have strong liquidity, so they need a base to act as a stabilizer to avoid unexpected events that could cause a run on funds.

At the beginning, this base was reserved by Luliang for the Shanghai Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, as well as national institutions such as the State-owned Assets Xiaoxin.

I plan to sign a five-year contract with them, and no early redemption is allowed before settlement to ensure that there will be no sudden withdrawal of funds.

But now, Lu Liang has changed his mind. It is not easy to take public money, especially the funds related to people's livelihood.

He plans to introduce sovereign funds and let them hold a larger share, so as to check and balance the Shanghai Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and the state-owned assets Xiaoxin.

Create a feeling that a rare commodity is worth hoarding, so that the government will not turn against Tiangang and think that Lu Liang is taking advantage of them.

In fact, it was Lu Liang who gave them the opportunity, not them who gave Lu Liang the opportunity. They should recognize their own position.

"Mr. Lu, it's seven o'clock."

At this time, Wen Chao stepped forward to remind him.

On the first day of the conference, Wuzhen will hold a welcome dinner, which will start at 7:30 tonight and last for one and a half hours.

"Let's go back."

Lu Liang nodded slightly, returned to the hotel and changed into a dark suit.

More than a thousand guests gathered together, including many cadres above level six.

As soon as Lao Ma appeared on the stage, he became the most beautiful star, surrounded by foreign leaders and treated exceptionally well.

Xiao Ma is richer and his company is bigger, but he is not treated as well as Lao Ma because Penguin's international influence is not at the same level as Ali.

Lu Liang had dinner and chatted with Sergei for the whole afternoon. He didn't even have time to eat. He went back to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes before coming down.

"Why are you eating alone here?"

Suddenly, laughter sounded behind me.

No one else would say such things except Zhu Hu.

"Would you like to have something to eat together?" Lu Liang turned his head to look at Zhang Yiming who was not far away. Zhu Hu had just come over from there. Old Zhang was chatting animatedly with the person in charge of Temasek.

"I've talked till my mouth is dry."

Zhu Hu sighed, picked up the juice and drank it all, then told them what he had just talked about.

In the second half of the year, Tik Tok was conquering East Asia and was about to enter the Western market, but suddenly failed.

Musical.ly sued them for plagiarism, demanding $3.5 million in damages and asking them to make a public apology.

Therefore, Zhang Yiming planned to discuss with Temasek and introduce a few foreign players to directly acquire the other party and put an end to it all.

Zhu Hu said, "Mr. Zhang, you are still arguing with them. Let me come over and ask you if you have any good suggestions."

"It's not a big deal, just do a merger. You can't just lose money like that, right?" Lu Liang laughed.

What will happen next year happens now.

According to the progress of the merger and acquisition, it should be completed half a year earlier.

This butterfly of his has caused more and more changes, and the changes are getting bigger and bigger. I just hope that everything is benign.

"Old Lu, you're chatting enthusiastically with Sergei, why don't you ask them if they have any ideas?"

Zhu Hu chuckled and explained his intention.

TikTok already has enough state-owned assets. If it wants to develop the international market, it must introduce foreign capital. If it wants to acquire Musical.ly, it also needs the help of foreign capital.

Temasek is one, and Monroe Ventures is another, but Monroe Ventures holds shares in Musical.ly and plans to exchange shares, and does not plan to pay money.

Although Temasek has money, they do not want to invest alone as the risk is too great and they do not want to bear it alone.

SoftBank Group does have some ideas, but Masayoshi Son has always wanted to join the board of directors and participate in decision-making.

Zhang Yiming was still hesitating.

Lu Liang was surprised: "You are so well-informed?"

"What the hell, anyone would know that."

Zhu Hu showed a teasing expression and joked: "The biggest news today is that Lao Li will help you guard the door."

He winked and asked quietly, "How much money did you get from the rich guy this afternoon?"

Baidu has negotiated a $5 million project with a sovereign fund, and can ask Lao Li to help guard the door. Lu Liang spent an entire afternoon talking in detail with the tycoon, and the amount involved should be even greater.

Lu Liang smiled and said, "You'll know after a while."

"Pretending to be mysterious." Zhu Hu looked disgusted.

At this time, Sergei came in, greeted the leaders of the conference, and walked straight towards Lu Liang.

"Good evening, Mr. Lu."

Sergey was all smiles as the afternoon discussions covered not only the public offering, but also the priority subscription rights for future private placements.

When I think about the fact that their funds will become a sickle to harvest the Americans, I feel like the serfs rising up and singing.

Making money is a small matter, but it is a great pleasure. "Zhu Hu, a famous venture capitalist in my country." Lu Liang introduced with a smile, and also talked about the international version of TikTok.

"Hello, Mr. Zhu." Sergei restrained his smile, and his enthusiasm and trust were only shown to Lu Liang.

They are rich, but not stupid. Lu Liang's battle record can be checked, and his reputation was earned through real fighting.

Nowadays, Wall Street is terrified of Lu. Without using off-market means, no one can guarantee that they can win against him.

As for other people's words, you need to be extra cautious.

After all, their funds did not come from the wind, and even if they bent down to pick up the money, it would take some effort.

"Hello, Mr. Sergey."

Zhu Hu was all smiles and quickly called Zhang Yiming to tell him to stop talking nonsense with Temasek.

If we can reach an agreement with Sergey, we can get any amount of money, and Temasek and Softbank can go to hell.

After introducing the two parties to each other, Lu Liang retired after completing his mission.

How to negotiate and whether they can reach an agreement is their business; his mission has been accomplished.

Lu Liang moved to a quieter seat and continued eating.

Just eating unsteadily.

There are no secrets at the welcome dinner in Wuzhen Night.

I don’t know when the news started to spread.

Through Lu Liang's matchmaking, Douyin received a $10 billion investment from a sovereign fund.

Then, everyone looked at Lu Liang with eyes as fierce as wolves and tigers, as if they wanted to devour him.

Not only is he rich, he also has strong connections and knows the most recognized number one guy on the planet.

"Brother Liang~" Xiao Wang suddenly appeared, rubbing the back of Lu Liang's hand gently and affectionately.

His panda also needs the support of the top brother.

"Don't even think about it. It's impossible."

Lu Liang looked disgusted and decisively shook off Xiao Wang's hand.

"Why?" Xiao Wang looked pitiful. Given their relationship, isn't that enough?

"Don't be ridiculous. I have nothing to do with you."

Lu Liang looked at Xiao Wang unkindly and warned him to stop creating scandals for him.

He is willing to help Douyin to build connections. On the one hand, as the co-founder of Douyin, he should contribute.

On the other hand, sovereign funds have related businesses, and there is indeed a possibility that they may cooperate with TikTok.

Only when there is a possibility of cooperation between the two parties can it be called matchmaking. If there is no possibility of cooperation between the two parties, it is called a forced melon is not sweet.

If it weren’t for the purpose of integrating with the international market, the financing valuation of Xiao Wang’s Panda would not be measured in US dollars.

There are live broadcasts abroad. If Sergey wanted to invest, he would invest in YouTube, not pandas.

Xiao Wang smacked his lips and said, "That makes sense, but why do I feel so uncomfortable when you say that?"

Lu Liang was too lazy to talk to him. He wiped his mouth and went to Zhang Yiming to see how their conversation was going.

"It's done." Zhang Yiming looked at Lu Liang with excitement on his face, and the remaining resentment completely disappeared.

Although Boss Lu is despicable and black-bellied, he is actually not a bad person at heart. Having him on the TikTok is like adding wings to a tiger.

"It's good that it's done." Lu Liang narrowed his eyes with an unfriendly look. He always felt that Zhang Yiming was cursing him in his heart.

At this time, Shen Peng also came over to inquire about the situation. The recent development of Douyin has obviously exceeded his expectations.

Once TikTok acquires Musical.ly and enters the European and American markets, it will no longer be an ordinary application, but a public opinion weapon.

The Western world has been trying relentlessly to discredit them, and they have no way to do anything about it because all the world's mainstream media are controlled by them.

As the art of war says, attacking a city is inferior to attacking the heart. Public opinion warfare is the best strategy to attack the heart, and it can achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting.

After all, there are always some people who believe that the air abroad is sweeter and the moon is rounder just through textbooks or certain magazines.

The country has been thinking about ways to crack this problem. If TikTok takes on this important task, its status may be improved and it may receive some implicit support.

"I don't know if it's good or bad."

Lu Liang was thoughtful and didn't hold much hope for this.

Thinking back to a time ago when a businessman was elected, he abandoned traditional media and took a different approach to build momentum for himself through the Internet, attracting some young voters to vote for him.

Businessmen are well aware of the communication power of today's Internet, which has long surpassed traditional newspaper media.

He will be in power for the next four years.

It would be fine if Tik Tok cannot develop. Once it develops, it will either be taken in as a dog or be targeted.

After hearing this, everyone was silent.

Seeing this, Lu Liang laughed: "Why are you thinking so much? You're thinking so much before you even start thinking about the fate."

There will always be a way when the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. If that day really comes, there will always be a solution.

　No more tonight.

　　It will stabilize for a few days before it explodes.
