Chapter 1149 Capital Market
However, just as Lan Baolin stopped in front of the booth of Continental Transportation Group, the president of Continental Transportation Group immediately stood up.
Tian Guorang was very excited. He is one of the few people who can understand Lan Baolin's investment plan and agree with this idea. The reason for this is that the Continental Transportation Group has a history of five years, has experienced too many ups and downs, experienced several twists and turns in Shangguo, and is familiar with the capital operation method of Shangguo, and is looking forward to such capital injection.
Lan Baolin also cut to the chase: "I wonder if President Tian welcomes me?"
"Welcome, of course you are welcome! Come and bring out the latest and best spiritual tea."
Tian Guorang asked the secretary to prepare tea, and at the same time personally invited Lan Baolin to his seat.
Faced with Tian Guorang, Lan Baolin was very direct, and didn't need to explain what investment banks were like before, so he went straight to the point: "Mr. Tian, I would like to hear your summary of views, prospects, and shortcomings of Continental Transportation Group. I don't know Is it possible?"
"Of course no problem." Tian Guorang talked eloquently: "For now, I value mainland transportation more.
There are currently three main modes of transportation in Shangguo. Land transportation, water transportation, air transportation. Among them, the cost of land transportation is higher than that of waterway transportation, but far lower than that of aviation, and it is more flexible. Most of the transportation is still land transportation.
Both waterway transportation and air transportation cannot do without land transportation as a supplement.
Without land transportation, waterway transportation and air transportation cannot function effectively; but without waterway and air transportation, land transportation can still exist alone.
Therefore, land transportation is the core of transportation.
Secondly, we are not hostile to waterway transportation and air transportation. In fact, Continental also has this kind of business, which is an indispensable and necessary component.
However, with the emergence and popularization of teleportation arrays, land transportation will have a more long-term development. Especially at this stage, the transmission array is generally small and can only pass through vehicles; so I conclude that in the foreseeable future, that is, in the next 30 years, land transportation will still be the mainstream transportation method.
Of course, land transportation also has disadvantages. Compared with ship transportation, the carrying capacity is too small; compared with aircraft, the speed is too slow.
I predict that if the current storage technology maintains the current development speed, the cost price of air transportation will be lower than that of land transportation in 30 years. Because, air transport does not require the construction of a large network of roads. "
"So, land transportation will be eliminated?" Lan Baolin asked.
"No, never! People's travel, life, etc. are still inseparable from land transportation.
In addition, there is another big head of land transportation, which is railway. If the future railway also adds a lot of storage technology, coupled with the teleportation array, it may be a more excellent transportation method. "
"Then Mr. Tian thinks, what kind of pattern will the transportation have in the future?"
"Because of their large size and slow speed, ships will gradually form moving cities. Aircraft will occupy half of the country. However, the ground transportation method is still irreplaceable. The teleportation array will be promoted and become the main link between all parts of the fairyland. link.
The fairyland will also be relatively smaller, and perhaps there will be no barriers between places. The teleportation array will make the entire fairyland a whole.
Future national governance will depend on transportation. "
Lan Baolin closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then said again: "This direction of development may be right, but how can Continental maintain its advantage in such a change?"
"We have set up our own technology research and development team. The future society is a society of technology. We have already started to research teleportation array technology, and have established a joint research laboratory with Xinghuo University. Today, more than 30 people from the Brilliant Star Group have obtained technology authorization, and applied for more than 40 valid patents of its own.”
"A valid patent?" Lan Baolin tapped the back of the chair with his fingers, "Can I have a look at the outline documents of these patents?"
"It has been printed into a book, of course." Tian Guorang took out a document from the storage ring and sent it over.
Lan Baolin flipped through it for a while, then asked again: "President Tian thinks, is it feasible for you to extend the scope of transportation to the sanctuary right now?"
"Our group is discussing this plan. The core purpose of this plan is to maintain and stick to the existing market, open up markets other than Yingzhou, and finally form a trend of internal and external attacks, and win the transportation market of Yingzhou in one fell swoop."
"If the final goal is achieved, Mr. Tian has calculated how much money is needed?"
"A total of about 200 billion taels of gold!"
Lan Baolin got up: "Mr. Lan, after the exhibition, if there is time, I hope we can find time to have a good talk."
"Of course!" Tian Guorang sent Lan Baolin away enthusiastically.
As soon as Lan Baolin left, Qiao Liwen and Sima Xuan, the other two partners of the Continental Transportation Group, came over. Qiao Liwen spoke first: "Brother Tian, are you going to accept Lan Baolin's investment? How much money can he give?"
"Why not!" Tian Guorang smiled slightly, "Compared with bank loans, Lan Baolin's investment plan has one advantage, that is, it does not need to repay the loan on schedule! As for how much money Lan Baolin can put out, it is not important. Take out one point, you can reduce our pressure by one point.
Of course, the specifics have to be discussed in the long run, let's discuss it together. "
…………
Here, Lan Baolin continued to search for the target. Lan Baolin's purpose was very clear. Those who have no potential, at least in Lan Baolin's view, have no potential. Of course, there is no need to consider it. Also, some old-fashioned groups that have developed well and have sufficient financial strength are basically not considered.
Lan Baolin knew one thing about the Continental Transportation Group mentioned just now—they fit the third point of Xian Wang’s revelation, the huge logistics network of Panxianyu, and this Continental Transportation Group has great ambitions, but is extremely short of funds.
At this moment, Lan Baolin was like a wolf, looking for his prey.
Suddenly, another company came into Lan Baolin's eyes. It was a small company established less than two years ago, but it was also founded by two Xinghuo University graduates - Feitian Group.
The Feitian Group's goal is directly aimed at the outer space. Their first research is rocket technology, related exploration technology, and communication technology.
After the simple politeness, Lan Baolin went straight to the topic: "Now, whether it is the country or the Jiuzhongtian Group, there are already researches on aerospace and aerospace, and they have made great achievements. It is not too late for you to enter this industry at this time. ?"
Hao Changjun, the president of Feitian Group, said confidently: "It's different. We are researching a fully recyclable aerospace device. The purpose is not to make people fly, but to take people to the outer world to comprehend and practice.
Therefore, our goal is to compress the cost price to less than 100 million taels of gold, and serve the majority of practitioners.
Therefore, our philosophy is different from that of the country and Jiuchongtian Group.
In terms of the country, focusing on national defense, etc., the Jiuzhongtian Group is chasing the footsteps of the country. But we have been based on serving the majority of practitioners from the very beginning.
Moreover, we have made good achievements in the research of recoverable spacecraft, and applied for hundreds of practical patents. "
"The research on aerospace equipment is not small, how much is your current total funding?"
"20 million taels of gold, or 200 million yuan. We borrowed from the bank with the patent as collateral." Hao Changjun said. When I say this, there is pride and pressure.
Lan Baolin understood a little more, and continued to ask: "But in my opinion, 20 million is just a drop in the bucket. The country's development of aerospace technology still relies on the sale of flying quotas to get the initial capital. The initial capital is tens of billions of taels of gold."
"The only way we can do now is to research patents, and then continue to mortgage the patents." When Hao Changjun said this, he was full of helplessness.
Lan Baolin learned a little more, and finally said: "This industrial expo lasts for half a month. If you can send a development plan within three days, I will consider injecting capital for you. What do you think?"
"Three days?" Hao Changjun and several partners looked at each other in blank dismay. Three days was too short.
"Then two days. Tomorrow night, I will wait for you at the office of Greenwood Investment Bank." Lan Baolin smiled and said goodbye.
Tomorrow night, that is a day and a half! Hao Changjun and the others had the urge to scold their mothers for a moment.
