The Black Card - Chapter 1076

[Chapter 1074 The impatient Wei Qing]

Shi Lei looked at Shi Qiang with a smile, shook his head and said: “Why are you so excited?”

Shi Qiang said with a smile: “You usually don’t interfere in the company’s operations, but now you suddenly say that you have something to do, then It must be at the strategic level. I disagree with you otherwise, but as for product strategy, you are the guiding light. Everyone in the company, and even in the entire venture capital circle, knows that you are the best product manager… …”

Shi Lei waved his hands and said: “Well, well, don’t flatter me like this, I can’t bear it. However, what I want to tell you today is indeed related to strategy.”

Shi Qiang smiled and said: “Maybe it’s a bit exaggerated, but It’s basically true. This is really the impression of you in the circle.”

Shi Lei smiled again, picked up the water glass, took a sip of water, and said: “I went to Qiannan this time and met a friend. Do you know there is a Kong family in Spring City? Don’t know?”

“I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never dealt with it. It seems to be in the field of new energy.”

Shi Lei nodded and said, “Yes, it’s in the field of new energy. Their family has a daughter named Kong Yue, who is with Bai Bai. The eldest son and grandson of my family are classmates in the United States. Kong Yue proposed an idea to me, and I think there is room for action. We have been thinking about how to effectively carry out propaganda in plateau provinces such as Qiannan. Are you launching bicycle products?”

Shi Qiang said: “Indeed, in fact, the government there has always wanted us to go there, and many cities have even offered good conditions. Is it a tourism-oriented city? Cycling is also relatively good. choice. However, I have always been worried about how many tourists in plateau areas can accept this physical-driven travel method. It is more of a physical issue. What if someone suffers from altitude sickness due to riding our Qixuan bicycle? , if something happens again, the gain will outweigh the loss. This will have a great impact on Qixuan’s reputation. In addition, problems such as bicycle parking at tourist spots will increase the cost. Your parents’ It is difficult for the company to expand to so many provinces in the short term, and the operation is also relatively complicated, so I put it aside for the time being.”

Shi Lei nodded and said: “So, I think the idea proposed by Kong Yue and me is quite good. She What I want to do is electric bicycles, set up a new company, exchange shares with our Qixuan, and be included in the Qixuan Group that will be established sooner or later.” When

Shi Qiang heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: “This is not possible, the new company will directly Share swap, this is absolutely not feasible. Our company’s shares have much greater room for growth than new companies. Moreover, the comprehensive cost of all aspects of electric bicycles is too high. It is okay in plateau areas, but in our current market environment Next, that means competing for the market with his own company. Mr. Shi, this can’t be done!”

Shi Lei nodded with a smile and said, “Don’t worry, just listen to me.”

So, Shi Lei told Shi Qiang all his considerations After that, he also told him about the negotiation between himself and Kong Yue.

Finally, Shi Lei concluded: “If what Kong Yue said is not an exaggeration, her father’s company’s new battery pack can really enable electric bicycles to have a driving range of more than 100 kilometers, and the increase in cost is actually very limited. I also I made it clear to her that friends are friends, and in business, I can invest in her new company, but it is absolutely impossible to exchange her with Qixuan’s shares. If their family insists on taking Qixuan’s shares, I She can exchange shares with her father’s company. Of course, all this needs to wait until I finish researching her father’s company before making a decision.”

Shi Qiang said categorically: “As long as we don’t exchange shares with the new company, everything else will Everything can be discussed. Indeed, it is a good way to open the bottleneck in the plateau area with electric bicycles. Ordinary bicycles can be an effective supplement to electric bicycles in plateau areas, and electric bicycles can also be an effective supplement to other urban markets. . Of course, we must control this quantity. Well, let me first make a market analysis report to see how the proportion of electric bicycles should be determined in our existing market, and then look at how the proportion should be determined in plateau areas. Then I will give you a report on the capital requirements for the initial investment of the new company. You should also contact the Kong family as soon as possible and give me a quotation for the manufacturing cost of the electric bicycle.”

Shi Lei said: “Then it is settled for the time being. This matter is also There’s no rush, let’s finish the Series C financing first.”

“That’s for sure, the most important thing is always to announce ourselves.”

Just as he was talking, Shi Lei’s phone rang. He took it out and looked at it, smiling. Said: “We were talking about the Wei family just now, and now Wei Qing’s call has come. It seems that the Wei family has a definite idea about our Series C financing.”

Shi Lei answered the phone, and Wei Qing’s voice immediately Ringing on the phone.

“Young Master Shi, you’re wrong. Didn’t we agree before that Qixuan’s C round allowed our Wei family to join the game?” “

I didn’t say I wouldn’t let you join the game. I told Brother Shi Qiang just now. What about this matter?”

“Then when you announce the C-round financing plan, why don’t you tell me in advance?” “

What’s the difference if you tell me sooner or later? I told Brother Shi Qiang and asked him to summarize what happened in the past two days. Valuation report, and then hand over the valuation to your Wei family for matching. Don’t worry, prepare the funds, and I will definitely keep my promise to you.”

Wei Qing became even more anxious: “Can I not be anxious? Shi Qiang announced the C-round financing plan in the morning, and my old man immediately dragged me out of bed. I was scolded by the old man. Are you in Wudong? Well, you must be. You said you just I’m talking to Shi Qiang about my affairs. I’m coming soon, let’s meet and talk. I’ve brought our family’s investment plan and I’m just waiting for you, Mr. Shi, to take a look at it.”

Shi Lei smiled and said, “Your family This looks a bit ugly!”

“Nonsense, my old man personally called you Qixuan, but an assistant named Ai Yige blocked it. My old man said clearly that his surname is Wei, but you Qixuan’s assistant is so awesome. He said directly that Mr. Shi is in a meeting. Everything will be discussed after Mr. Shi finishes the meeting. If you need to leave a message, you can tell him. I can talk to him. Me!”

Shi Lei laughed loudly and said, “Come on, this is their job, why are you angry with them? How long until you arrive? I’ll pick you up.” “

This is a bit of a buddy thing. Let me see. Ah…just another forty minutes.”

Shi Lei looked at his watch and said, “It’s just lunch time. I’ll wait for you. I’ll pick you up at the South Station later and we’ll have dinner together.”

Wei Qing hung up with satisfaction. After getting on the phone, he immediately reported the situation to his old man. Shi Lei stood up and said to Shi Qiang: “You can book a hotel and you can have the meal together today. I will go back and pick up Wei Qing. Send me the hotel address.”

Shi Qiang looked at the time and said: “I won’t come to the company at all in the afternoon. The investment companies from the province are chasing me. The three of us will have a drink at noon, and I will give myself a holiday in the afternoon. During this time, I am very tired. It’s really annoying.”

Shi Lei nodded with a smile and said, “Then call Zhang Xiyue. Do you two have any plans to get married?” “

We’ll talk about it after it goes public. I’m too busy to think about these things.”

Shi Lei went back. After picking up the car, he went straight to the South Station. When he arrived, Wei Qing had already left the station. As soon as he saw Shi Lei’s car, he immediately rushed Shi Lei to the passenger seat.
