Chapter 759 Isn’t this just kneeling down to beg for food?

Author: Linjiangxian

Three days later, when Guo Guangchang learned from Xu Tengyu that the funds raised exceeded 3 billion, he was immediately shocked: "The funds raised exceeded 3 billion? Are you sure this is RMB?"

Xu Tengyu also said with emotion: "Yes, I felt incredible when I heard this number. Such a typical stupid person has a lot of money."

In fact, Lu Yiming did not expect that he would be able to raise 3 billion in funds so quickly.

This private equity fund does not guarantee principal, that is, the annual interest rate is relatively high, reaching 15%, but it cannot be redeemed within 6 years. The conditions are actually quite harsh.

With Lu Yiming's reputation as the richest man and his unfailing record in the past, people who subscribed to the fund still flocked to the fund. Some of them were not even members of the Linjiang Club at all and came to join in the fun through various connections.

.

Although he couldn't figure out what was wrong with these people's minds, Lu Yiming still took all the money as ordered.

Half a month later, a total of 6.47 billion in cash was raised.

At Maomao Mobile Headquarters, Lu Yiming found Tang Jijun.

Before Lu Yiming could speak, Tang Jijun said first: "Mr. Lu, you're just in time! The RF chip project has been successfully developed. Compared with the mobile phone RF chips currently on the market, our theoretical performance is seven percent better than theirs.

Ten! Once the tape-out is successful, we will break the foreign monopoly and become the first generation of purely domestic RF chips!"

Lu Yiming was very happy and said: "Okay, now we at Maomao Mobile finally have our own unique skills. It's not in vain that I spent so much money on Maomao Mobile."

Tang Jijun sighed: "Indeed, doing research feels good, but it's just such a waste of money. It makes me feel bad to see the money in my account decrease rapidly every day. Every time I close my eyes or open them, millions are gone."

"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Scientific research means burning money. This is an objective law. Mass production can dilute the cost. Lin Yutang, you know, is a great writer and earns a lot of royalties. In the end, he just wanted to make a typewriter called Ming Kuai.

Not to mention bankrupting ourselves, we are still heavily in debt. What we have to do now is similar to what he did back then. We are all taking a road that has not been taken by our predecessors. But we must take this road now. Now

If you don’t leave, you may not even have the chance to leave in the future.”

"You don't have to worry about money. I launched a fund-raising project some time ago and have raised 6.47 billion so far. The money is used to invest in the production of mobile phone parts in Xia Guo. One-third of it, I plan to

Invest it in the mobile phone project of our Maomao Mobile. This money will be put into operation as soon as possible, otherwise it will lie on the books and be lost every minute."

Putting aside the daily inflation, Lu Yiming's interest commitment on this fund is 15%. This interest rate is not low, which is why so many people are willing to invest.

First, it is the golden sign of the richest man.

Secondly, the return ratio is indeed too attractive.

You know, the current domestic manufacturing industry’s average net profit is not even 5%, it’s just making hard money.

When Tang Jijun heard this, his molars trembled.

Spending billions of money on research and development? Isn’t this too cruel? If we lose money, how will we live in the future?

I'm afraid that only Lu Yiming in the world has the courage to play like this.

Not to mention the richest man in Asia, even the richest man in the world may not dare to make such a huge gamble.

When Lu Yiming returned home, Shi Qingxue happened to be sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. The hottest news in the newspaper was, of course, Lu Yiming raising funds to build mobile phones.

Seeing Lu Yiming coming back, Shi Qingxue couldn't help but said: "Are you really planning to make a mobile phone? You have been working on this project for two years, but now you haven't made a penny, but you keep pouring money into it.

Money, be careful not to lose your wife’s capital.”

Lu Yiming said confidently: "Oh, with my handsome face, I still have to spend money to get a wife?"

Then, he sat next to Shi Qingxue, kissed Shi Qingxue on the cheek, and said, "And didn't we agree at the beginning that if I become a pauper, you will be responsible for raising me?"

Shi Qingxue pushed his forehead away in disgust: "Bah, bah, bah, don't be so stinky here."

Lu Yiming said sternly: "Don't worry, I didn't make a mobile phone on a whim. I started planning it as early as two years ago. I have enough patience and courage, and I'm even more prepared to make no money for five years."

Be prepared. Don’t worry about money, my dear and beautiful Chinese friends will keep sending me money.”

He holds a large number of Internet company stocks with a market value of trillions in later generations, and now they are beginning to exert their power, providing him with a steady stream of funds.

As time went by, Lu Yiming raised more and more funds. Another half month later, the funds raised had exceeded 10 billion.

It was not just the financial and technology circles that caused a shock. Various mobile phone manufacturers, including Bird, Ericsson, and Motorola, all focused their attention on Lu Yiming.

Raising tens of billions of dollars to make mobile phones has made these players in the industry feel an inexplicable hostility.

Is the mobile phone industry about to change?

However, unlike everyone in China who was trembling with fear, after international mobile phone manufacturers learned of the news, a happy atmosphere emerged on the Internet.

"People in Xia also want to make mobile phones? What a joke!"

"Can anyone tell me if today is April Fool's Day? Someone in a place like Xia Country wants to make a mobile phone."

"Do all people in Xia like to dream so much?"

"Perhaps Motorola and Nokia should pay more attention to it. Xia's mobile phone companies at this time are still very capable of plagiarism and copycats."

"Hahaha, indeed, our mobile phone manufacturers must be prepared to file infringement lawsuits with them."

At this moment, the country of Xia is still a barbaric, backward and poor place in the minds of foreign people. In the eyes of many people, the country of Xia may not even have electricity, but it still wants to build a telephone?

What is this if not an April Fools' Day joke?

As for mobile phone spoilers, Motorola and Nokia naturally did not take this news to heart.

As the overlords of the mobile phone industry, their every move represents the direction and trend of the mobile phone industry. They also have a large number of related patented technologies in their hands. It is not easy to kill their new counterparts.

Not only are foreigners not optimistic about it, but even domestically, they feel that Lu Yiming is messing around and is suspected of cheating money.

After all, that’s more than six billion. What can’t be done with it? It has to be wasted?

But in the midst of this commotion, Lu Yiming ignored it at all and was doing his own thing seriously.

After the fund-raising was completed, Lu Yiming's Lujia Garden welcomed a new batch of guests.

The boatman brother who was invited met Mr. Ren at the door.

Both of them are leading figures in the manufacturing industry in Guangdong Province, so they know each other.

Ren Zhengfei is twenty-two years older than Wang Chuanfu. Now the old Ren is almost sixty years old, while the boatman is less than forty years old, and he is still in the prime of life.

"Mr. Ren!"

Brother Boatman seemed very polite to Big Brother.

Leader Ren smiled and said: "Xiao Wang, I didn't expect you to also receive an invitation from the richest man Lu."

The boatman brother said: "I don't know what the richest man Lu wants to do when he invites us to the banquet this time."

Manager Ren said: "I think it has to do with the fact that he recently raised funds to build mobile phones."

Mobile phones are very profitable, and everyone in the industry knows this. After all, no matter how complex a thing is, there is no secret after it is dismantled by professionals. Everyone knows the components inside, and can calculate the specific cost.

This year's Nokia, just one of its models, the Nokia 1100, has sold more than 200 million units worldwide. It is so profitable that it can be said to be a money printing machine.

But in China, the production and sale of mobile phones requires taking pictures, so everyone can only drool over this business.

Fortunately, Lu Yiming made arrangements early and bought the mobile phone license two years in advance.

When they walked into the Lu Family Garden, they were greeted by a well-dressed beauty, which shocked the two of them. After entering the house, they were even more attracted by the antique interior decoration and design.

Leader Ren said with great envy: "The richest man is rich, and the place he lives in is so luxuriously decorated."

At present, although Warwick is relatively well-known in the industry, it is not very strong, and the money it earns is hard-earned money that is looked down upon by large foreign companies, so it cannot spend money for enjoyment at all.

The boatman brother is even worse than the leader Ren. They have just moved into the lithium battery field. Now they can't even afford a production line to make batteries. They are still in the stage of hand-rubbing batteries - this is a real hand-rubbing, and a pulping machine can't even afford it.

It was handmade, and even the foreign customer Nokia was stunned at the time.

The beauty led the two of them for a while, then stopped and said: "You two, there is the living room in front of you. I can only send it to here. You can go along this corridor to the opposite room."

"

In the conference room, there were more than a dozen people sitting on both sides of a long table.

Manager Ren and the boatman saw many familiar faces inside, such as Cao Wang from Fuyao Glass, who was very ugly and easily recognizable.

There is also Wang Dongsheng of Jingdongfang who goes around deceiving people into debt-for-equity swaps. This guy has a very bad reputation in the industry. He is almost the kind of person who "turns his head after talking about it". After all, no one likes "borrowing money without paying it back".

"People.

Leader Ren and the boatman were both a little confused.

Could it be that I guessed wrong before that Lu Yiming didn’t call everyone here just to make mobile phones?

Otherwise, why would you call all these people here?

Although these people here are all big names in the domestic industry, their businesses have nothing to do with each other.

Warwick is engaged in telecommunications, Brother Boatman is engaged in batteries, and he also dreams of being a car man. As for Cao Wang, he is engaged in glass, while Wang Dongsheng focuses on LCD screens... there are too many to mention, and each other has

Basically no business dealings.

Although Lu Yiming often becomes a news figure, he himself never communicates too much with people in the industry, nor does he participate in various banquets and chambers of commerce. Therefore, in the eyes of industry insiders, Lu Yiming is actually a very mysterious person, and no one does anything.

It's not clear what this young man wants to do.

Lu Yiming hadn't come yet, so everyone sat down according to their respective positions, said hello to familiar people, exchanged a few words, and discussed and speculated on Lu Yiming's intention of calling everyone here.
