In a presidential suite, Li Bing met this person who almost monopolized half of the mobile Internet industry in Jinling City.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lin, hello, hello." Li Bing stretched out his hand and smiled at the two of them politely.

"Hello, Mr. Li." Zhou Yujie and Lin Youde replied with a smile.

"There is a big change in Jinling City. I came here once more than ten years ago, and now it is completely different." Li Bing said with a smile.

Zhou Yujie said: "Every city in China is basically like this. More than ten years are equivalent to changing times, and the economy is developing too fast."

"Yes, we are all in this situation." Li Bing sighed and asked directly: "Mr. Zhou wants to acquire NIO?"

"If I say I don't want it, does Mr. Li believe it?" Zhou Yujie replied calmly.

"I don't believe it." Li Bing said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou's layout for the new energy industry is obviously quite grand. The brands of low-end electric vehicles should not satisfy Mr. Zhou's ambitions, right?"

Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "Mr. Li really understands me, but this time he wants to invest in NIO, and he doesn't have this plan."

Li Bing asked curiously: "So, are there any plans in the future?"

Zhou Yujie shrugged and said, "It depends on the future situation. If NIO develops well, my return on investment will be higher and I can make money. If NIO develops poorly, maybe Mr. Li will intentionally sell NIO himself."

"This is impossible." Li Bing shook his head and said, "Even if he goes bankrupt, I will not sell NIO."

Zhou Yujie looked at Li Bing with a firm face and asked, "So it would rather be like ofo, and end up being messy and owing countless debts, and maybe he will never pay it back in his life?"

After Ofo declared bankruptcy, he owed tens of millions of people 200 per person. Although the total amount of this money is large, at least each person only has 200 per person, which has little impact on the lives of these people. The big problem lies with bicycle suppliers. How many suppliers advance their funds for production in advance? Ofo was stunned.

As an automobile manufacturer, NIO has a stronger supply chain. If there is a problem, the impact will definitely be wider. Moreover, there are many large companies in the supply chain of automobile companies. If they owe them money, it is not easy to get out of it.

Li Bing thought for a while and said, "I believe NIO will not appear this day."

Li Bing is very confident. His prototype car has been on the road and his evaluation is very good. He is about to usher in the E-round financing and will be launched in the United States soon. When he has funds in his hands, the sample car has come out and the supply chain has been opened, there is no reason for NIO to fail. You should know that his situation is much better than Tesla at the time. At least too much capital is optimistic about electric cars now, and Tesla a few years ago was the first to take the lead.

"I also hope that NIO can develop better." Zhou Yujie smiled and said nothing more.

Li Bing and NIO's team obviously underestimated how expensive it is to build cars. For decades, there have been only a few players in the automotive industry, which is enough to illustrate the problem. If it were so easy to succeed, major consortiums from all sides would have been in. You should know that in the 1990s, Samsung, at its peak, carried great achievements in the semiconductor field, and resources and funds entered the car manufacturing field, but it also returned in a defeat.

Traditional fuel vehicles have 20,000 parts and 5,000 electric vehicles, so the difficulty is greatly reduced, allowing Tesla and a bunch of new energy car manufacturers to seize the opportunity, but there are not many that can stay in the end. NIO almost couldn't get through it. If it weren't for Anhui Province's support through investment and equity investment at that time, NIO would have never been able to endure it in 2020.

Li Bing did not continue this sensitive topic and asked: "How much does Mr. Zhou want to invest?"

Zhou Yujie said: "If possible, I want 10% of the shares."

Li Bing smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou is too ambitious, right? I will only give up 15% of the equity this time, and your family will take more than half of it."

If it is an angel round or A round, it is normal to give a large-headed stock. However, in the later stage of the E round, several companies are basically introduced. One is because the funds involved are relatively large, and venture capitalists generally do not spend such a large amount of money, and the other is because the financing company intends to introduce multiple resources.

"I don't have a big ambition, and I can't get to where I am today." Zhou Yujie said with a smile.

Li Bing said: "Don't Mr. Zhou ask about NIO's valuation?"

Zhou Yujie shook his head and said, "This is not important. As long as this share can be negotiated, I can increase it by 10% alone."

"Mr. Zhou is very generous." Li Bing shook his head and said, "But there are still too many 10% shares. I can give up 5%. In the future, the Toutiao system needs to give NIO a certain amount of high-quality traffic. I also hope that the charging pile of the beam can provide certain discounts to NIO."

This is Li Bing’s real purpose, high-quality traffic and the best Toutiao system, but it is not unique. If you have money, you can buy it from other places, but it is difficult to get around the charging pile.

The beam has been very rapid during this period. While building charging stations around major cities according to GDP rankings, charging stations are built every 100 kilometers according to the traffic volume of domestic expressways. At the same time, parking spaces are rented with Wanda Plaza, Wuyue Plaza and commercial squares in many major cities, not to mention acquiring Tuhu car maintenance.

The city has obtained electric vehicles in the city, and the highway has solved the mileage worries. The charging piles in the mall can allow electric vehicle owners to enjoy the game with peace of mind. The last Tuhu Auto Repair Store may have only one charging pile, but the number is enough.

With a multi-pronged approach, the investment may be tens of billions of yuan, and no way to give other competitors a chance to survive. If this continues, even the automaker's willingness to deploy charging piles will be worn out.

Zhou Yujie invested in such a large-scale entry into the charging pile field and was unlikely to only provide services to his own car. After all, if you want to operate like this, the premise is that his car is already the dominant position in the industry, and the beam obviously cannot do this.

However, accepting other models depends on whether there are discounts. NIO is taking a high-end route. In fact, there is really no hope of confronting Tesla in terms of quality. Li Bing's plan is to do a good job in after-sales service, and the most important thing in after-sales service is convenient charging.

"The beam charging pile only has discounts on the beam. If other models are like this, wouldn't my project be invested in vain?" Zhou Yujie refused directly: "As for the shareholding ratio of NIO, not talking about the funds, does Mr. Li just hope that he will be stepped on by the shadow of Tengxun?"
