The Black Card - Chapter 1089

[Chapter 1087 Cost Reduction]

Of course, Shi Lei did not mean that Kong Yue planned to deceive him with nothing.

As for Kong Yue’s previous talk about cooperation between the two parties, or even funding from her side, Shi Lei only needs to exchange Qixuan’s shares, plus Qixuan’s brand value, etc., Shi Lei also has his own speculation.

At that time, Shi Lei did not know the financial situation of Kong Yue’s father, Kong Fandong’s company, and the initial investment for this kind of cooperation would not be too much.

Regardless of the fact that Kong Yue opened his mouth and opened his mouth with five points of Qixuan shares, in fact, to run a company like what Kong Yue said, the initial investment is actually enough. After all, All you need to do is set up the company, and the rest can be done with just two words: Qixuan.

Naturally, there will be investors rushing to invest in the new company, and the funding issue is the least worth mentioning.

And if you have confidence in the company’s future and want capital to enter the market later, you can build the entire platform yourself first. In fact, this only requires about 100 million funds.

When he was in Yulong a few days ago, Shi Lei had no doubt that Kong Yue could come up with hundreds of millions of funds. Even though he now knew that Kong Yue couldn’t come up with the money at all, he actually didn’t think that Kong Yue was doing this deliberately. deceive him.

The reason is simple. A company that only needs 10 million upfront is not a problem for a family of the size of the Kong family.

Kong’s difficulty in financing is not actually due to the lack of capital. The name Kong’s Group is also a well-known golden brand in southern Guizhou. As long as Kong Fandong is willing, he can find an investment at any time.

The reason why Kong is in the current predicament is related to what Kong Yue told Shi Lei in Yulong.

Kong’s new energy development is undoubtedly Kong’s largest capital, and if they want to raise funds, it will inevitably involve the technology and extent of new energy development, and this is what Kong Fandong does not want to disclose to the capital market.

Shi Lei guessed that Kong Fandong was not worried about being taken away by premature capital entry, just as he did not completely reject Shi Lei’s investment, and the conditions proposed by Shi Lei were actually the same as those proposed by every investor.

The only difference is that the capital in the market is not necessarily worthy of Kong Fandong’s trust, but Shi Lei can give Kong Fandong a certain degree of trust.

Shi Lei didn’t know where this trust came from, but it was not important. What was important was that Kong Fandong maintained his trust in him.

What’s more, just because the Kong Group has no money doesn’t mean that Kong Fandong himself can’t get any money out of it, but it’s just that the Kong Group doesn’t belong to him alone, and he can’t personally use his own money to fill the Kong Group’s holes.

Shi Lei could imagine that the Kong Group was already stretched thin in the new energy project. Kong Fandong himself would definitely rather demolish the house and sell the land to continue this research and development and project, but the other shareholders were obviously not optimistic. They were not He is willing to add more funds, but if Kong Fandong adds funds alone, this will involve changes in share capital, which will also touch the interests of other shareholders.

This directly leads to the fact that funds can only be found in the market, and they must be sources of funds that give shareholders sufficient confidence.

This is why Shi Lei doesn’t think Kong Yue is deceiving him, because Kong Fandong came up with the funds to establish the new company himself, but Kong Fandong was unable to sustain the Kong Group’s funds.

Shi Lei thought for a long time and finally said: “Okay, I’ll check the flight later and I will definitely arrive at Spring City today.”

In fact, Shi Lei knew that being so anxious would definitely make Kong Fandong, an old fox, have some unnecessary thoughts in his mind.

However, he had no intention of hiding it, because the dilemma Kong Fandong faced now was far greater than the one he faced.

Shi Lei believed that Kong Fandong could distinguish priorities, and the old fox must also weigh his own interests first.

Kong Fandong breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Okay, then I’ll be waiting for Mr. Shi in Chuncheng.”

After hanging up the phone, Shi Lei checked the flight. Three hours later, there would be a flight to Chincheng. He immediately booked the flight, then returned to the hotel corridor and knocked on Wei Haoran’s door.

Wei Haoran had already found the heads of the other three companies in his room. As soon as Shi Lei appeared, the three people impatiently asked Shi Lei why the financing conference was delayed.

Shi Lei sat down and said with a smile: “Everyone, I’m sorry, because I have to build a new project, I have to rush to the airport to fly to Spring City. Going to Spring City is related to the finalization of a new project. Originally, It will take some time for this project to be operational, but now, Spring City’s partners, because we announced the C round of financing, have a great change in their attitude towards cooperation on this new project, and they hope to achieve it as soon as possible. They want Riding on the success of our Series C financing, and I also hope that Qixuan can ride on the success of this new project after announcing the completion of the Series C financing. This is a win-win situation, and I have no reason to object. . Therefore, I hope you will give me a little time to go to Spring City to finalize the final details of the cooperation. Then, I will announce the news at the financing conference. I believe that as long as the cooperation is successful, your The investment will be recognized by the investment evaluation company on the same day, and your investment will increase a lot in value in the shortest possible time.”

Except for Wei Haoran, the other three people suddenly looked happy after hearing this.

One of them asked: “Is Qixuan going to open the plateau market in the southwest?”

“Not only the southwest, but also some high-altitude areas in the west. This has always been a big difficulty we face in Qixuan, especially in Those cities that mainly focus on tourism originally have very broad market prospects, but due to a series of problems such as safety, Qixuan does not dare to easily open the market in that area. The new project can perfectly solve this problem. At the same time, the new project is not another expansion of Qixuan’s business, but a new company and new model. In addition to perfectly solving Qixuan’s problems in high-altitude areas, this project can also improve Qixuan’s current business. Market, make some necessary supplements.”

“Master Shi, can you tell us what the new project is? We are a little confused!” Another person said again.

Shi Lei nodded with a smile and said: “Electric bicycles, however, are definitely not those electric bicycles seen on the market now. Regarding the specific situation, I hope you will be more patient and wait until I complete the negotiation before answering. It is not convenient to disclose more at this time.”

After hearing this, the three people frowned immediately. They looked at Wei Haoran, who had to say: “Mr. Shi, in fact, there are already domestic companies working on the electric bicycle project, but the response is not very good. .I admit that in high-altitude areas, electric bicycles can effectively solve many safety hazards, but the costs they bring are too high. This is not only the cost of manufacturing, but also the maintenance after being put on the market. Cost…”

Shi Lei waved his hand with a smile and said, “This is what I said is the difference between Qixuan electric vehicles and electric vehicles on the market. We have made careful calculations. Once our electric vehicle project is established, Manufacturing costs will increase by no more than 20%, but maintenance costs will only be one-fifth to one-eighth of the previous level.”
