Chapter 1270 Default
An unexpected opponent!
Lu Heng lamented that in the past two years, Ping An of China has not shown its coveting of the automobile market, and has only extended its hand in the area of automobile insurance claims.
But if we extend it a few years later, Sima Zhao's intentions will really be known to everyone.
They have invested in as many as ten start-up companies in the areas of used cars, auto finance, and mobile travel. They have built used car websites and acquired Autohome. These frequent actions have already shown the depth of their layout.
From this aspect, Lu Heng is quite worried.
Lu Heng is a very self-aware person. He knows what he is good at and what he is not good at.
It is also true that he leaves most of the things related to Internet technology to professionals.
And he himself is deeply rooted in the automobile market.
Moreover, the path Lu Heng took was a counterattack in the opposite direction.
He started from the retail terminal and relied on strong cash flow to carry out reverse layout, thus attracting the favor of the upstream industry chain.
This is completely opposite to the path that other car manufacturers on the market and Ping An will take in the future.
Lu Heng was not sure whether he could succeed, but he knew that only by doing this could he climb to a higher place.
Xue Mingxing didn't know how many thoughts came to Lu Heng's mind in a short period of time.
He only knows that the current financing plan that Youzi Technology is facing is a very important matter that is related to the future development of Youzi.
"Ahem, compared to the favorable conditions offered by Sunshine Insurance, the conditions offered by Ping An of China are not so satisfactory. They are only willing to provide 100 million yuan for shares, and the cooperation benefits provided are far from
It is smaller than Sunshine, but has more requirements. 10% of the shares, the establishment of a Youzi board of directors, China Ping An dispatching personnel to settle in, and they must hold a high-level position."
Xue Mingxing said solemnly: "The kind with real power!"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Heng waved his hand and refused!
"Stocks can be given, and the board of directors must negotiate together. As for the senior management positions with real power, don't even think about it. Youzi Technology must be operated independently and no one can interfere. Even Autohome and Hengcheng Group have not sent anyone to give instructions.
,Why should they!”
Xue Mingxing nodded, "I also have the same attitude, so the financing negotiations with them have been in a stalemate, and we have not reached an agreement several times in a row."
Lu Heng rubbed his chin, thinking about Ping An's intentions.
They quickly figured out their intention to send employees to Autohome, nominally to participate in management and perform shareholder supervision responsibilities.
In fact, they are just trying to steal from others!
If the time comes, Ping An of China may completely start over and build their own used car website.
Shaking his head, Lu Heng said slowly: "I will talk to them personally about this matter tomorrow. You can talk about Autohome first!"
As the leading investor in this round of financing, Autohome is undoubtedly the most important investor.
They have the right to follow the investment and pay a certain amount of money to either keep their original shares unchanged or receive more shares.
Of course, if they give up this right, their shares will be diluted due to the influx of large amounts of capital.
In this way, perhaps the pattern of Youzi Technology will undergo some unexpected changes.
For Yuzi Technology, the last thing they want to see is variables.
Xue Mingxing asked cautiously, "Director Lu, what is the bottom line of your negotiation with Ping An?"
Lu Heng frowned and said calmly: "The bottom line is that they still contribute funds and obtain corresponding shares, and the cooperation conditions are still maintained. But it is absolutely impossible to give relevant positions of real power. For this reason, I would rather have less of their investment!
"
Lu Heng knew something about it.
For this kind of potential opponent, it is not good to reject it blindly, as it is likely to intensify conflicts.
Just like Ele.me and Baidu Takeout, Baidu has taken a fancy to this piece of cake. If cooperation fails, they will directly create a similar product to compete in the competition.
Ping An of China certainly has this ability.
There is no way around it. He has a profound foundation and a big business. He can open up any industry without breaking a sweat.
In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to bring it into Yuzi Technology.
Just comfort him first and buy some time.
Even if Ping An of China continues to embark on the road of deploying the automobile industry in the future, Youzi Technology can handle it calmly.
Just like Ele.me, although Baidu Takeout is coming fiercely, under the hands of Ele.me, which has been developing for two years, it will not cause much turbulence at all.
Even the radical Xiao Jianguo directly launched a strong counterattack, gradually spreading the business scope of Ele.me from first-tier cities to second-tier cities.
In Xiao Jianguo's words, "If you want to fight, then fight! While you are still grabbing our original market, we have already begun to develop a larger market!"
After hearing Lu Heng's answer, Xue Mingxing breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.
Although Ping An's price is too high, it is indeed a rare partner.
Their strength is there, and if we can cooperate with them, it will be a rare opportunity for Youzi Technology.
This is also the reason why Xue Mingxing still retained them until the end after many unsuccessful negotiations.
Pulling himself together, Xue Mingxing talked about the situation of Autohome.
"This time around Autohome's investment in Youzi Technology, Li Xiang, the other party's president, is basically in charge. In addition to investing 20 million to ensure that the original shares remain unchanged, they plan to invest another 140 million
Ten thousand, seeking 9% of the shares."
Hearing this condition, Lu Heng was stunned and froze for an instant.
As a leading investor, it is expected that additional investment will be obtained in order to obtain more shares, and Lu Heng is not surprised.
What he wondered was, the price of 140 million was only exchanged for 9% of the shares. Is there something fishy in the middle?
"Is it that simple? No other conditions attached?" Lu Heng asked with a frown, his eyes scanning the faces of Xue Mingxing and Huang Xiaowei.
Xue Mingxing hesitated to speak, but Huang Xiaowei couldn't help it anymore.
"Director Lu, Autohome is not kind!"
Lu Heng asked calmly: "What's going on? Can you tell me?"
Huang Xiaowei couldn't wait to explain: "Autohome launched a second-hand car store in April, which is linked to the official website of Autohome."
"I know this. After I finished my inspection, someone reported this situation."
Lu Heng was not surprised. Autohome had already had this idea and they also had the ability.
According to the historical development trajectory, Autohome has indeed established a second-hand car home, but now it is only one or two years ahead of schedule.
Huang Xiaowei shook her head repeatedly, "Not only that, when Yuzi Technology was established, the contract signed with Autohome included the agreement that the other party would divert traffic to us from the official website. But after the birth of their used car home, after two months of operation,
, the effect was very poor, so we unilaterally terminated the treaty."
"Breach of contract?" Lu Heng blinked and looked at Xue Mingxing.
