Chapter 372 Offending Lao Xu
The conference was declared over in the afternoon of the 17th.

The first New Energy Conference was somewhat sloppy. There are two main reasons for this. First, as everyone knows, not many countries participated in the conference.

Secondly, due to the development of the restricted industry, if the market can grow rapidly next year, the next session will definitely be better.

After the meeting, Li Bing found Lu Liang. Seeing this, Li Xiang raised his eyebrows and followed closely, as if he was afraid of missing something.

"No response yet? I have some things to deal with here. I'll go to Tokyo to take care of them. I'll probably be there the day after tomorrow."

The due date is just a few days away. Lu Liang was talking to Lu Ya on the phone to find out the situation when suddenly two people appeared behind him.

"That's it for now." He was startled and hung up the phone in a hurry, looking at me unkindly: "What do you want to do?"

"How about, Mr. Li, you go first?" Li Bing and Li Xiang looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly became humble.

Lu Liang frowned and asked unhappily, "What's the matter, Li Bing? You go ahead and tell me first."

He had to catch a flight to Tokyo later, so Xu Jiawei booked a flight for around six o'clock.
It takes about five hours to fly from the chicken feet to the chicken feed, and it is estimated to land around the early morning.

“Mr. Lu, following the decision of the board of directors, NIO will formally prepare for its IPO,” Li Bing said hurriedly.

If it were to be listed in China, with only one car and sales of just over 3,000, it would be impossible for NIO to succeed in this life.

But the U.S. stock market is different. Jia’s PPT company can prepare for listing, not to mention that they have already built a factory and officially launched products.

NIO is now valued at approximately US$45 billion, and they plan to use 20% of their equity for IPO financing.

"Go and prepare. Let me know if you need help."

Lu Liang counted the days and felt that it was about time.

The seeds planted two years ago will gradually bear fruit in the next one to two years.

He looked at Li Xiang: "Ideal also wants to go public?"

Li Xiang hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, Ideal plans to conduct round D financing at the end of the month."

Ideal and NIO have different development paths. ONE has received very good market response, and they plan to raise its valuation before preparing for listing, to at least US$10 billion.

But now, the company is out of money in its account again. Although sales have exceeded 10,000, there are still more than 7,000 vehicles that have not been delivered.

The second phase of the production base, which has invested tens of billions of yuan with Lifan Group, is about to start construction.

Everything costs money.

Lu Liang couldn't help rubbing his brows and pondered for a moment: "Then let's raise funds. If you need money, let me know. But I don't have much time at the end of the month, so I probably won't go there in person."

He suddenly felt a little bit of admiration for Shen Peng and Zhu Hu. Sequoia and Jinshajiang were such big businesses that they invested in more than a hundred companies every year.

You have to pick out one or two companies from hundreds of them, and then follow up with them until they go public.

In the end, you can get dozens or hundreds of times the profit, which is really not enviable at all.

After all, Lu Liang now mainly invests in four companies, except for Douyin being adopted by ByteDance, which allows him to worry a little.

Panda, NIO, and Li Auto are the three companies that never give him any comfort, especially Panda, which is like both father and mother to them.

When they were talking, Lao Xu came over to talk to him. Hearing that Lu Liang was going to Tokyo later, he warmly invited him: "Mr. Lu, what a coincidence! I was planning to go to Toyota to have a look. How about we go there together tomorrow at noon?"

Last time in Guangzhou, we agreed that if there was a chance, we would definitely let Lu Liang take a ride on his private plane and see the moving palace.

It should be known that whenever he went on a long journey, several lead dancers of the Hengtai Song and Dance Troupe would go with him, adding a bit of artistic atmosphere to the boring journey.

Lu Liang was stunned and could even imagine the scene of sex on the machine. If he was not in a hurry, he would be really interested in it.

Last year, I saw the Dunhuang squat dance on the 42nd floor. I still remember it vividly. Every squat made my heart tremble.

But he couldn't stay in Tokyo for a few days and had to fly to Edinburgh after finishing his work, so he had to decline Lao Xu's kindness.

Lu Liang looked apologetic: "Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry, I have other things to deal with, and I'm a bit pressed for time. I've booked a flight for tonight, so I'm afraid I can't go with you."

"Well, we'll talk about it next time we have a chance."

Old Xu frowned, looking a little embarrassed. You know, he is the richest man this year, and he has surpassed the richest man in Dongda University to become the richest Chinese in the world.

A famous calligrapher also wrote him a calligraphy sticker containing the cryptic poem "Emperor Xu is outstanding and great".

As a result, Lu Liang rejected the invitations again and again, which made him very unhappy.

Although Lu Liang also helped him earn nearly 10 billion, it was not a reason for Lu Liang to neglect him.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Xu, see you next time."

Lu Liang was too lazy to think about what was in Lao Xu's mind, and he got into the carriage without looking back.

He is a layman in both finance and car manufacturing, but real estate is his destiny.

Especially now that I know more things,

The expansion of the real estate market is just to resist the quantification of the US dollar.

A single loan withdrawal forced Wanda to cut off its arm to survive and also caused Lao Wang to fall from the altar. Lao Xu is so arrogant that sooner or later something bad will happen to him.

The real estate group is awesome and it affects the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people, but it is the industry that is awesome, not the individuals or the group.

Wanda collapsed, and Hengtai stood up. If Hengtai collapsed, maybe Country Garden, Sunac, or China Resources will stand up.

A group that can be replaced at any time, a richest man who can be replaced, Lu Liang is not afraid at all, if he offends them, he offends them.

At 6:20, the plane took off from Boao Airport, stopped in Shanghai for half an hour, and arrived in Tokyo in the early morning.

Wen Chao received the news early and waited for Lu Liang at the airport pick-up area since 11 pm.

"How's the situation in Detroit? Is our cooperation with GM going smoothly?"

Lu Liang asked as he walked. At the beginning, Ota ordered this old fox to detain his assets in Tokyo, and called it asset protection.

He simply went with the flow and invested all the money he earned in Tokyo in America, letting the father ask his son for money.

Facts have proved that the effect is remarkable, and $200 million in funds flowed smoothly from Tokyo to the joint venture factory in Detroit.

Because the matter was handled in the name of Xingheng Investment Company, Wen Chao was fully responsible for it and Lu Liang rarely asked about it.

Wen Chao replied, "Mr. Lu, the project is progressing smoothly. Mr. Te and GM Group have been taking care of us. The 48 engineers arranged by Vice President Wang also arrived in Detroit half a month ago to join GM's R&D project."

During this time, he made two trips to Detroit.

The first time was when he brought funds to sign the factory construction contract, and the second time was when he brought 48 engineers sent by Wang Xiaofeng to discuss with General Motors about jointly developing a new car chassis.

President Te is different from other leaders. When Wen Chao went there for the first time, he was warmly received. President Te also took him to visit General Motors, as if to support him.

To the point that he was a little flattered.

Lu Liang was speechless, then smiled and said, "Don't think of him as a national leader, think of him as a calculating businessman. You will find that all his actions have traces. Although they do not meet our definition of maturity and stability, they can maximize his own interests."

He suffered from the filter from the beginning, thinking that a national leader should be mature, steady, cautious and serious.

It turned out that Trump was an accident. He ran the country like a company. As long as it was profitable, personal reputation was not important.

He knows very well that face is earned, not given by others. Even if he is a clown who goes back on his words and has a psychotic mind, it cannot change the fact that he is the leader of the most powerful country on the planet.

Wen Chao thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

While talking, the two came to the underground parking lot of the airport, and Wen Chao and his assistant drove three cars.

Two Mercedes-Benz, a business car, one for Lu Liang, one for the security personnel, and one for himself.

Lu Liang got into the back seat of the Mercedes, opened the window and said, "Wen Chao, it's getting late, you should go back and rest early. Help me make an appointment with Tai Tian Ling tomorrow afternoon and tell him that I'm here."

After that, he told the accompanying driver: "Go to Kanzaki Apartment in Roppongi."

The last time we met, Lu Liang said that he would come over in about a month or two, and it wasn't a broken promise. I wonder how Eri and Miyuki are doing recently.
