Chapter 1115 Announcement of New Cooperation
Dai Zhenxing stopped talking to Shi Lei, obviously a little proud, but soon pretended to be depressed.
He said: "Oh, there is no way. I have always wanted to cooperate with Mr. Shi, but Mr. Shi rejected me time and time again. I was forced to take this approach. However, the result It’s still satisfying, we finally stand together.”
Shi Lei frowned and said: "Mr. Dai's behavior can easily be misunderstood. First of all, I must declare that my orientation is very normal and I have no interest at all in selling rot. Mr. Dai may often Traveling to corrupt countries, I have acquired some different habits. Oh, let me first make it clear that I don’t mean to look down on any orientation, but I personally cannot accept it.”
Although Dai Zhenxing didn't really understand the term "corrupt country", he could still understand the orientation.
Shi Lei's words made him somewhat embarrassed. He couldn't help but said unhappily: "Mr. Shi, do you think that after you raised the C round of financing today, you can sit back and relax? But I believe that there is no such thing as anything in this world." Things are absolute, and no one can resist the trend of the times. It's like Mr. Shi has repeatedly refused to cooperate with me, but he still can't stop me from becoming Qixuan's major shareholder. However, since Mr. Shi's attitude is still so unfriendly, then... I wish you a successful press conference. After all, the financing conference is also about my investment, Mr. Shi, we will see you in a few days.”
After that, Dai Zhenxing hung up the phone.
Shi Lei held the phone and looked at it for a long time, wondering what Dai Zhenxing's call meant.
Is it just to cause trouble for myself?
Or is he still prepared for the financing conference and intends to sabotage it?
However, when the financing conference was about to take place, wouldn’t Dai Zhenxing put the cart before the horse by sabotaging the financing conference? For the sake of vindictiveness, he didn't even take into account his billions of investments. This didn't seem to be in his interests.
No matter what, Shi Lei already had knots in his heart, but he still had to return to the venue and continue the press conference.
After sitting down, Shi Qiang immediately asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
Shi Lei shook his head slowly, then picked up the phone with a smile and said: "I'm sorry, the call just now was made by one of my partners. She must confirm the cooperation with me again before the press conference starts. Intention. This cooperation is also the second thing I want to announce at the press conference today. As for what it is, let’s focus on the most important thing today. First of all, thank you for coming. Our Qixuan’s Series C financing press conference. For a long time, our Qixuan’s financing has attracted the attention of friends from all walks of life. Shi Lei is sincerely frightened, grateful, and worried about every move of Qixuan. It has received attention from all walks of life, which obviously can help Qixuan grow more healthily. What worries me is that if Qixuan does not do well, I think everyone will criticize it mercilessly, which makes me sad. Alexander..."
The reporters smiled at this. Shi Lei did not say much, but directly explained Qixuan's Series C financing, its scale, and investors to the reporters present.
Then, he handed over the microphone to the investor's representative, Wei Haoran. Wei Haoran was also a little worried about the phone call Shi Lei received before the battle, so he compressed his speech as much as possible and ended it quickly. Upon seeing this, Shi Qiang immediately announced that the press conference had entered the process of a signing ceremony.
Shi Lei, Wei Haoran, and the other three investors signed an investment and equity transfer agreement. Wei Haoran and the three investors have prepared direct cash, and all investments will be injected into Qixuan's account at once. among.
This caused a small commotion at the scene.
After all, during the A and B rounds, Qixuan’s scale was not too big. A round of financing was ten points, which is a scale of several hundred million, and a one-time injection of cash was not bad.
But now, Qixuan's valuation has reached 16 billion, which is already 2.5 billion in US dollars. Ten points of financing is 250 million US dollars and 1.6 billion soft sister coins. This is Even for companies like Penguin or Ahri, it is not easy to come up with so much cash at once. Moreover, it is a one-time investment, which shows the investor's confidence in Qixuan.
After controlling the situation, Shi Lei thanked Wei Haoran and the other four people on behalf of Qixuan. Afterwards, he chatted for a few more words and finally got to the point.
"You must be curious. Before I signed the contract, I mentioned that our company has a new cooperation. Now, what I want to talk about is this cooperation. This cooperation is between me and Ms. Kong Yue of the Qiannan Kong Group. A collaboration was carried out. The content of the collaboration..."
Shi Lei simply explained the cooperation method to the reporter, and then emphasized: "I know that there are similar products on the market now. Some friends may think it is not wise for Qixuan to suddenly develop this field at this point in time. However, projects that are struggling for other companies are not a serious problem for Qixuan. The biggest problem facing electric bicycles is cost, and the biggest problem in terms of cost comes from battery life. In the current market, the battery life of electric bicycles of 20 to 40 kilometers is obviously difficult to meet the real practical needs, which will greatly increase the maintenance cost. However, what I want to say is that for this project we cooperated with Ms. Kong Yue, I can guarantee that our electric bicycles have a battery life of Five times the current market, and the weight of the vehicle will not only not increase, but will also decrease, and the manufacturing cost of the battery pack will be the same as today. This project is already in full swing. My personal investment and that of Ms. Kong Yue are both 200 million RMB, and Qixuan will undertake the market development and after-sales maintenance of this project, while Ms. Kong Yue will be responsible for the manufacturing of electric bicycles, etc. Qiyue electric bicycles will become a market supplement for QiXC City bicycles, mainly deployed in plateau areas, to solve the plateau market that Qixuan has not been able to open. At the same time, no more than 15% of the existing market cities will be added to solve the use of some customers who are unwilling to exert physical strength or do not need to exercise. "
The scene was immediately blown up.
Reporters raised their hands and asked to ask questions.
Shi Lei looked at Shi Qiang, who controlled the rhythm of the scene very well, and then chose a female reporter to ask questions.
After the female reporter stood up, she said directly: "My question is very simple. I think my colleagues on the scene probably want to ask the same question as mine. Mr. Shi Lei, what you said, the weight is reduced, but the battery life can reach five times that of the electric bicycles currently on the market. Is there any data to support this?"
Shi Lei immediately signaled Shi Qiang to release a picture and project it onto the white screen behind him.
He said: "This is the patented product of the wholly-owned New Energy Research Institute owned by Ms. Kong Yue's father, Mr. Kong Fandong, the chairman of the Kong Group. This product can be found in the National Patent Office and the patent departments of other countries. Under the condition of equal weight, its power storage can reach eight to ten times, while the cost is only increased by about one-third. I think, with simple mathematics, everyone can confirm that it is not difficult to reduce the weight of this battery and have a battery life of more than five times."
