After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 327: Meeting an acquaintance is particularly exciting

Led by the assistant, Lu Liang and Xiao Wang came to box No. 4 of the restaurant.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Wang, welcome to New York."

Crook smiled and walked quickly forward, hugging Lu Liang first and then Xiao Wang.

This time, Xiao Wang came for the panda listing review, so he should be the protagonist. However, he has gotten used to it. As long as Lu Liang is present, he can only be the inconspicuous leaf.

"Crook, who is this?"

There were four people in the box, including Crook, and the other three were representatives of the city's business organizations.

Lu Liang met them during Panda’s Series D financing.

There was only one person, a white man in his forties, wearing a suit and tie, slightly bald, and who looked a lot like Jason Statham.

The look in his eyes was a little strange, three parts excitement, three parts resentment, and four parts helplessness. Lu Liang had only seen such a complicated look in women.

"Mr. Lu, this is Camon Wilson, the head of JPMorgan's investment department."

Wilson was originally going to meet Lu Liang at the dinner, but there were still more than six hours left, and he couldn't help but want to meet the man who had been haunting him in advance.

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

Wilson suppressed his excitement, walked up to Lu Liang and stretched out his right hand. He was promoted from the leader of a group to the head of the entire investment department.

All this is inseparable from Lu Liang.

Since the death of Steve Jobs, Apple has taken over from Microsoft and become the technological business card for exporting American culture to the world.

Countless capital institutions on Wall Street are looking for who will take over from Apple and become the next generation of American technology flag.

Wilson put everything on Tesla. As Tesla's market value exceeded $100 billion and resources were allocated to it, his status in JPMorgan Chase also rose.

The fact that Tesla's market value has exceeded 100 billion yuan so quickly is closely related to Lu Liang. Firstly, he raised his stake last year, and secondly, the stock has reached the lock-up period. Not only did Lu Liang not reduce his holdings, he also quietly increased his holdings by hundreds of thousands of shares.

This helped Tesla break through the 100 billion mark.

"Hello, Wilson. Nice to meet you."

The smile on Lu Liang's face grew wider, and he suddenly knew where that complicated look came from.

If he was defeated three times by the same person and finally had to join the other side, I think his eyes would be more exciting than Wilson's.

"Mr. Lu, we have prepared a grand dinner for you tonight." Wilson calmed down a little and briefly introduced the guests who might come tonight.

The heads of Blackstone, Vanguard, BlackRock, Muddy Waters, and even Quantum Fund will come, and since it is held in the businessman’s hotel, he may also come to take a look.

"They are all old friends." Lu Liang smiled, feeling a little excited. They were all old friends whom he had never met before. He thought that tonight's banquet would be very exciting.

Next to him, Xiao Wang also talked with Crook and several other market-related institutions, and the second listing review would probably pass smoothly.

The listing reviewers of the exchange basically agree that live streaming sales are advertising revenue and belong to the normal income of the enterprise.

The company failed to pass the first listing review because the ownership of the revenue from live streaming sales was unclear.

When Xiao Wang heard this, his eyes turned complicated and he subconsciously looked at Lu Liang who was chatting and laughing with Wilson.

He finally saw clearly that whether the audit passed or not, and whether the profits were clear or not were all bullshit. As long as Lu Liang came, it would pass.

"Mr. Lu, do you like the Panda platform?" Wilson suddenly asked.

“Of course, this is a company with great potential.”

Outside, Lu Liang certainly couldn't puncture Xiao Wang's tires, saying that he was very optimistic and telling him relevant information.

“Live streaming may be difficult to develop on platforms like YouTube, but there is a natural market for it at Dongda.”

"First, the government has not done enough supervision, and second, the population is so large that people naturally blindly follow celebrities."

“This is called brand effect!”

"Take an internet celebrity with millions of fans as an example. They must have at least thousands or tens of thousands of die-hard fans."

"Moreover, they can also sign a minimum agreement with manufacturers on the entire network. The so-called minimum is only the lowest on the surface, that is, no one on any platform can sell at a higher price than the anchor who sells the goods, in order to create the illusion that the price is the lowest on the entire network."

"If a product costs $10, Wilson, how much commission do you think the platform can take?" Lu Liang suddenly asked. Wilson thought about it and tentatively guessed: "10%? It shouldn't be low, right?"

Lu Liang sneered and said shockingly: "10%? The lowest is 20%. If it is a non-essential item, the commission is as high as 50% or more."

Before this, he hadn't cared about how Panda's live streaming sales were going for a long time. He just occasionally heard Li Manli mention it at home, and it seemed to be very profitable.

To this end, on the plane coming here, Lu Liang looked through the internal information about pandas and made up a lot of relevant information.

In the past six months, Panda’s live streaming sales volume was indeed a bit exaggerated, reaching 58 billion.

The commission rate has skyrocketed from the previous 10%, and something called the slot fee has been created.

Take the example of a pair of colored contact lenses promoted by Li Manli. The booth fee alone was 20 yuan, the cost was two yuan, and it was sold for 19.9 yuan.

The commission is as high as 90%. After splitting it in half with the platform, she still gets 45%.

Panda is relatively conscientious and has strict quality control. It is mainly preparing for listing and is afraid of causing negative news, so it has strict management in this regard.

For example, since the merger of the two platforms of Douhu failed, Penguin does not want to support both of them. Let them compete with each other and the one that survives will get their support.

As a result, when a brand becomes popular, the platform anchor will directly kick out the merchant and put their own label on it, or even sell inferior products as good ones.

In order to improve performance, they will do anything possible.

Wilson was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Doesn't the Market Supervision Bureau in your country care?"

Xiao Wang smiled and took over the conversation: "Mr. Wilson, our current market is still developing, and the relevant terms have not yet been released. Just like when Ali's Taobao was flooded with fakes, has anyone said anything?"

Wilson was speechless. Even though he lived in a free country, he felt that the market of the University of Tokyo was too free.

He thought of Pinxixi, which is known as the second Taobao and has recently been preparing to review documents and plans to list on Nasdaq next year.

Lu Liang paused, then smiled and said, "But chaos only exists in the early stages, with regulations in the middle stages and strictness in the later stages."

Wilson nodded. He understood this point very well. The American market was in a very late stage.

After talking for an hour or so, Crook and Wilson said goodbye and left. They had business to attend to in the afternoon and agreed to meet again at dinner tonight.

Lu Liang and Xiao Wang prepared to go back upstairs to rest. It was a 12-hour journey. Although it was a private plane, they were still a little tired. They planned to rest for a few hours so that they could face the dinner.

Especially Lu Liang, it felt like tonight was aimed at him.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the box, they met a 1.8-meter-tall blond beauty. She smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, are you satisfied with our hotel?"

Ivan Kushner, as his father ascended to the pinnacle of power, his success brought prosperity to everyone around him, and she also became an informal adviser to the White House.

At the same time, she also serves as vice president of New York Merchant Real Estate Group and CEO of Ivan Jewelry Group.

Foreigners like to use their own names as brands, and this trend has also spread to China in recent years.

The ideal is still questionable. After all, Li Xiang and Ideal are names that make sense, but He Xiaopeng must have learned this trick.

Lu Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Ivan. We really like the food and decoration style of your hotel."

She is 180cm tall, and when she wears high heels, her forehead is taller than him. Her figure and skin are well maintained. It is hard to imagine that she is a mother of three children.

"Mr. Lu, my father will be here tonight, and he wants to meet you then." Ivan said softly.

Lu Liang, 32 years old, is four years younger than her and has a Chinese face. He has become a guest of honor on Wall Street.

Before this, it was really hard to imagine that such a thing would happen. Lu Liang was a legend just like her father.

So when she heard that Lu Liang was staying at her hotel and was planning to hold a dinner party there, she dropped all her official duties and came just to meet him.

Buffett's fund has an annualized return of only 20%, Vanguard's fund has an annualized return of only 25%, but Luliang Fund can reach more than 50%.

Britain’s exit from the EU and her father’s election are such low-probability events, but Lu Liang was able to make accurate judgments and profit from them. He is worth knowing.

"It's my honor." Lu Liang kept smiling. He had heard from Lao Ma that the businessmen were very interested in him.

He scored 82 points as a man, and this nickname was also caused by the businessman's remarks and is still widely known today.
