Chapter 200: I have loved airplanes since I was a child

There is no room for negotiation regarding Temasek's investment in the payment company.

The excuses are ready-made, the country does not allow it.

The actual regulations only restrict direct foreign investment, but at the same time, a loophole is opened to allow foreign investment in non-bank third-party financial payment in disguised form by establishing wholly-owned subsidiaries in China.

As long as the controlling stake is in the hands of domestic enterprises.

Otherwise, Mr. Ma is a good man. Li Zehua crossed the river by feeling Alipay, and one sentence blocked Wu Yibin's speech...

"Uncle, how do I get to the Daijiang Company?"

Early in the morning, Zhang Tao parked his car steadily outside the gate of Pengcheng Xili Industrial Park. Without turning off the engine, he gently closed the door, got out of the car and walked to the security booth to inquire.

The gatekeeper glanced at him, looked at the license plate number, then looked back at him, but said nothing.

Zhang Tao was very confused. He asked again loudly without giving up, but still got no response.

Just when I was wondering if the old man was deaf, a steady voice came from behind me, "Uncle, come and have a cigarette."

Then, a yellow beak was handed over.

The voice was very soft, but this time the old man heard it, smiled, pointed, and gave a specific address.

The Cantonese style has become more popular and less frivolous, and at least it has a specific direction.

After getting in the car, Zhang Tao was about to speak apologetically, but was interrupted by Li Zehua: "It's not your fault, drive."

Seeing that he was still struggling, he smiled and pointed to the door of the security booth and said, "Look, the recruitment notice is still here. We are hiring security guards with a monthly salary of 1,200 yuan. You can work two days and rest two days.

This little money can help you guard the security booth and prevent it from getting lost. It's a blessing. You get what you pay for. Don't make things difficult for others."

Zhang Tao took a look subconsciously, then quickly turned the steering wheel and drove into the park. It was obvious that he was quite unconvinced.

"You too, you are an adult, why are you really arguing about this?"

Li Zehua found it funny. Perhaps he had just woken up from falling asleep in the car and didn't understand the situation clearly.

I quickly realized, "I forgot. If it's not called Zhen, it's not you."

The stubborn guy agreed and said, "Do you still need to rest? I'll drive slower."

"No need, we're already here, just go ahead and solve it sooner rather than later."

He stretched comfortably. He was busy until the early morning last night and only slept for three or four hours. Fortunately, he had a good body after his rebirth. He was in his prime and did not feel tired at all.

After thinking for a while, the car soon stopped in front of a factory.

"Dajiang Technology, this is definitely the place."

Looking at the old factory area from afar, I always feel something is weird. If I didn’t know about it in advance, who would believe that a golden phoenix could fly out of this dilapidated factory building?
"Hello, I'm a salesperson from Gusu Battery Factory. My last name is Li. I'd like to ask, are you making electric airplanes?"

With a sense of mischief, Li Zehua left Zhang Tao behind, got out of the car with a bag, and walked into the factory.

There wasn't even a security guard in the factory. An employee who was stopped stared at him for a long time, then shook his head and said, "It's a drone!"

"A battery-powered toy airplane?"

Li Zehua smiled and handed over a business card. "They all use batteries anyway, so there's not much difference."

"Li Zehua, General Manager of Gusu Yadi Battery Factory?"

The DJI employee took the business card and looked at it from left to right, wondering if this was just a shell company.

How could a general manager personally come out to handle sales?
He showed no interest and waved his hand, "We already have a partner, you should try your luck somewhere else."

Nowadays, the title of general manager is worthless. Li Zehua has a lot of business cards in his bag, and there are more than a dozen companies with the title of general manager. He can give him anything he wants.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if we have partners. They charge money for selling batteries, but I sell batteries to you, not only for free, but I even pay you money.

How about it, are you interested in learning more? "

"..."

The employees were stunned. Is there any free lunch in this world?
Definitely don't believe it.

But seeing how confidently he spoke, I was quite confused.

At this moment, a man who looked like a leader was passing by and saw this scene and called out, "Xiao Lin, I asked you to go and see if the goods have arrived. What are you doing here?
Hurry up and go. If Mr. Wang starts scolding you, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

Xiao Lin quickly ran over and thrust his business card in his hand. "Mr. Lu, a weirdo came and said he wanted to sell batteries for free and even gave us money."

Pointing towards the door, the leader took a deep breath. Is there such a good thing?

He ran over non-stop. He didn't look like a scammer, so he asked tentatively, "You really don't want money?"

God knows what kind of situation Dajiang is in now. It promoted itself on Mount Everest a few months ago, and there was some noise, but the market didn't buy it.

Spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy an electric toy plane?
Crazy!
"No one believes the truth these days?"

Li Zehua took out a brochure from his bag and said, "Look, this is our factory and technological advantages."

This time when I came to Pengcheng, making soybean paste was one of the several established goals, and I made sufficient preparations in advance for it.

After reading the information, the leader was silent for a moment.

Mainly because it was too reliable, he didn't dare to believe it. After a long time, he finally said, "Are you really a wholly-owned subsidiary of BYD Electric Vehicles?"

Then he pointed to the carport at the factory wall and said, "That's the Yadi."

Li Zehua turned around and saw that, coincidentally, there were many different models of BYD in the row of electric vehicles.

It can be seen that Dajiang is really not good at this time, and there are not many employees who drive four wheels.

He smiled happily, "You should have said it earlier, our two companies have been cooperating for a long time.

Unfortunately, we are not a subsidiary of Yadi."

The leader was puzzled, "Then why does it say that Wu Xiyadi holds the full controlling stake?"

"Oh, I forgot to ask the administration department to change the information."

Li Zehua didn't take it seriously. "The battery factory is the boss now. Wu Xi Yadi is our subsidiary. They are the same thing anyway. It's almost the same."

The more they explained, the more confused they became, and both of them were dumbfounded.

He stopped teasing and said directly, "We are serious about cooperation, and we don't charge any money if it is genuine.

I saw your drone in Huaqiangbei and fell in love with it at first sight.

I just like playing with toy airplanes, so I just consider it as fulfilling my childhood dream."

He likes electric planes, but they are the big ones that can fly 18,000 kilometers and have a flight time of seven days and seven nights when fully charged.

"Another paranoid lunatic."

The young leader muttered to himself, then put on a warm face, "Mr. Li, right? I'm Lu Fei, the executive director of DJI.

Let’s go in and talk about the cooperation.”

On the way, I was still unsure and asked, "Is it completely free?"

"Of course, do I ever break my word?"

Li Zehua followed him into the factory, answering questions casually while observing the surrounding situation.

Unlike what I imagined, the factory environment is much better than it looks from the outside.

In fact, at that time, Dajiang had already gained some fame in the field of professional drones, but the size of this market was entirely supported by professional companies and mechanical enthusiasts.

The scale is not really big, just enough to keep Dajiang from starving. Besides, Wang Tao himself is a technology fanatic, and the more than 06 million Hong Kong dollars he brought in in 200 has long been spent.

As a childhood friend, Lu Fei also gritted his teeth and brought in an investment of 50 yuan, and usually helped him manage the company's daily affairs.

Wang Tao doesn't care about anything else and is completely focused on studying technology. He only shows up when something important matters that determine the company's future.

Well, the first time he showed up, he rejected the largest order since the company was founded!
It’s nothing else, it’s just because the customer wants a drone with a fuel engine, which does not fit in with Wang Tao’s future positioning of the product.

Because of this conflict, and the fact that the company has not been profitable, the first few co-founders have all run away, and now the company has only two shareholders: Wang Tao and Lu Fei.

Li Zehua knew a little bit, but not much.

Fortunately, this did not affect him. Through indirect inquiry and combining his own memory, he pieced together the truth of the matter bit by bit.

As they chatted, Lu Fei noticed something was wrong. "Mr. Li, didn't you say you like toy airplanes?"

"Yup!"

"Then how come you don't know anything about DJI's drones?"

"What's so weird about this?"

Li Zehua couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Your drones are so expensive, I can't afford them.

As for my love for airplanes, I have watched cartoons and movies about air combat since I was a child, so isn’t that normal?”

"Our drones are not expensive at all. Only people who don't know the value of the product think so."

Suddenly, a voice came from the side.

A handsome man wearing glasses and with a scruffy beard, who looked like he hadn't woken up yet, was very unhappy, "Lao Lu, who is this?"

"Mr. Wang, the big sauce?"

Li Zehua asked uncertainly, and after getting a positive answer, he tilted his head and looked at him for a while, wondering, are all tech geeks like this?
How do you say it? Unique.

Lu Fei quickly tried to smooth things over, and after muttering for a while, Wang Tao's expression finally relaxed.

"Excuse me, how many drones can you assemble in a day?" Li Zehua didn't care about that. He looked around and his interest was even greater than before.

That's it?

However, he attached great importance to technical talents. He glanced at Wang Tao, walked to an assembled drone, and reached out to fiddle with it.

"It's a bit small. What is its load capacity and endurance?"

Lu Fei was confused by his actions and asked tentatively, "Mr. Li, you don't look like you're selling batteries, do you?"

“Oh, and sell batteries.”

Li Zehua put the drone down casually and said, "Don't worry, with your limited production capacity, your annual sales volume is not enough for my company to run a production line for one day."

He will certainly not let go of the drone battery market. No matter how small the drop in the bucket is, it cannot outweigh the broad prospects in the future.

Wang Tao seemed to have no interest and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Li Zehua continue:
"Mr. Wang, are you interested in chatting?"

"What are you talking about? You don't understand technology."

Wang Tao had already received a positive answer from Lu Fei and knew that he was just a newcomer who was just doing it for the sake of hobby. If it weren't for the gimmick of free batteries, he wouldn't have bothered to come out.

But the next second, he could no longer sit still.

“Let’s talk about the future market prospects of Dajiang, such as providing comprehensive technical support for the express delivery industry and unmanned delivery technology for the takeout industry.

This is a vast market. If you do well, selling tens of thousands of drones a year is no problem. Even better, selling hundreds of thousands or millions of drones will not be a problem.

For example, are you interested in becoming the world's number one in the field of drones? "

Li Zehua's words seemed to have magic, instantly attracting Wang Tao. He changed his previous impatience and quickly put on a thoughtful look.

Lu Fei didn't care about that. He came up to him with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Li, do you have any connections? What's the business of the takeaway delivery industry? Can you tell me more about it?"

Then he invited him to the office.

Wang Tao followed behind without saying a word. He was also very curious about this person's background.
"Mr. Lu, you don't have to be so enthusiastic. I just said it casually."

After entering the office, Li Zehua was no longer in a hurry.

He was never in a hurry from beginning to end, because the soybean paste was destined to be his.

why?
Because he holds the future!

At present, Dajiang has not been integrated into the sports camera market at all, and naturally has not developed aerial photography drones.

The gross profit is only a few million a year, which is not enough to cover the amount Wang Tao spends on researching new technologies. This amount of money is not even enough to fill the gaps in his teeth.

Not to mention that he holds the two largest markets for civilian drones: food delivery and express delivery.

In this life, he will not make the same mistake as SF Express when using civilian drones to deliver express deliveries and takeouts. Trying to eat alone is bound to have a bad ending.

It is extremely short-sighted to try to completely replace manpower with technology, saving costs for enterprises but leaving the burden on society.

No wonder it was brought back to its original state by a ban.

Lu Fei had no idea what he was thinking, and couldn't help but say:

"Boss Li, this is Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong, right?"

“Well, I do have some ideas about Dai-chan.

It just so happens that both Mr. Wang and Mr. Lu are here. I am a person who likes to be straightforward and don’t like to beat around the bush.

The reason why I am joking with you two today is purely because I cherish and value talents.

If you don't mind, please name a price. What price does Qingyun have to pay to control Dajiang?"

Since there is already a ready-made one, no one wants to start over.

A company with only tens of millions of dollars is not worth his effort. The sauce is not important. What is important is Wang Tao's obsession with technology.

If we change someone, they will have to intervene all the time to prevent the research team from going astray, which is so troublesome.

"Qingyun, isn't this the Yadi Battery Factory?"

Lu Fei stopped Wang Tao who couldn't help but want to refute. Although he was shocked, he keenly grasped the key point.

“The battery factory is just a small business under my name. Please allow me to introduce it to you.

Qingyun Asset Management Group currently wholly owns Chizume Catering Group, the number one in China’s takeout industry.

Hummingbird Smart Logistics Group is the number one in the domestic urban logistics industry and has reached strategic cooperation with almost all major logistics and express delivery groups in the country.

Pinxixi e-commerce Group has the largest market share in the domestic group purchasing market.

It also has wholly-owned subsidiaries such as Qingyun Investment, Qingyun Capital, Qingyun Real Estate, and Hummingbird Crowdsourcing.

BYD Group, the BYD Battery Factory is only a part of the group's shareholding.

We work with Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Magic Investment Group, Lijiapo Temasek Group, Yanjing Gaoling Capital, and Magic City Tomorrow Capital.

JD.com, TCL Group, Pudong Development Bank, Shenzhen Development Bank, Midea, Rongsheng, Kelon Group and other large companies have established strategic partnerships.

Since the establishment of the Group, its holding assets have been valued at over 10 billion, and it has nearly 60,000 employees worldwide..."

Look, he spoke without stopping, and he guaranteed that every word was true. As to whether it was true or not, that was a matter of opinion.

Anyway, with 60,000 employees, the valuation of 10 billion is definitely not inflated.

Haven’t you seen that the four major military governorates even vacated the military training grounds, just like recruiting new soldiers, and gathered them together for centralized training.

If he was not afraid of death, Li Zehua could proudly declare that others at most have a group company, but he has an entire army under his command.

What can you compare with me?!
Wang Tao and Lu Fei were both numb from the shock.

He opened his mouth and said nothing for a long time.

It's really that what Li Zehua said was too shocking, and it's easy for people to feel it's unreal.

It was Lu Fei who reacted first. He stretched out his fingers and shook them in the air a few times, almost losing his voice and saying:

"I remember now. You are the lucky one who raised $200 million."

After saying that, I realized what was happening and quickly shut up.

After the 08 financial crisis, it was the largest investment and shareholding case in China and also a well-known case in the world.

If it weren't for the competition between Ali and Yahoo that stole half of the limelight, this matter might have been on the 7 o'clock TV show.

But Li Zehua was ruined by his own evil deeds, and Jack Ma and Jerry Yang were given the opportunity to appear on CCTV for no reason.

Not to mention advertising fees, I didn’t even get a thank you.

Wang Tao then realized that when they talked about this round of financing in private before, he said sourly that these investors had no idea what was going on.

What is food delivery?

Return two hundred million dollars!

Are there any high-end drones?
It's really unfair that they can't even get 2 million investment.

There is no doubt that Wang Tao also cursed those who made mobile phones in later generations, believing that they had no technical content and were just assembly factories.

But I look down on you.

When Li Zehua selectively talked about the future drone market and its application scenarios for food delivery.

Wang Tao felt that every cell in his body could not help but boil over, and he was about to grab his clothes and roar.

"What's next? Keep talking!"

Lu Fei persuaded him back with a bit of laughter and tears, and turned to Li Zehua and said, "Boss Li, I admit that what you said is very tempting.

However, with current technical means and material strength, there is still a long way to go before the application scenario you described."

"So I'm here. Isn't this sincerity enough?"

Li Zehua spread his hands and said, "There are a lot of drone companies on the market, but only in Mr. Wang do I see a fanatical pursuit of technology.

As I said at the beginning, I am also a fan of electric drones. If I can combine my interest with business, I believe this business will be successful!

How about this? I have the funds and the market, and you have the technology. Let’s work together to create a great company that completely subverts the existing market structure. How about that?”

"can."

Wang Tao quickly agreed, but under Lu Fei's constant eye contact, he quickly reacted, "But the controlling stake is not okay, it has to be in my hands."

"Well, what do you want to do with the controlling stake?"

Li Zehua patiently and patiently persuades people, like a bad uncle who cheats children out of candy, and drags people into the water step by step.

"We live in a society that values ​​the rule of law, and any requirements can be fully reflected in the contract.

What do you think, Mr. Lu?
If Dajiang wants to develop to the level I just mentioned, the amount of capital required is not a small number. "

Lu Fei was very conflicted because he understood that the person in front of him attached too much importance to the drone market.

But as he said, the takeout and express delivery industry is in his hands.

If Dajiang wants to grow successfully, he has to learn to compromise, but he still needs to think about giving up the controlling stake.

Only Wang Tao said decisively after Li Zehua whispered something in his ear: "It's settled!" (End of this chapter)
