Chapter 836: Are you investigating me?

The moment Liu Qiangdong and others entered, many media cameras were pointed at them.

Just now Liu Qiangdong walked out of the venue in a hurry, and they were wondering if someone important was coming.

Although JD.com did not reveal much about this round of financing, there are several participants, and everyone knows the number. Just looking at the guest nameplates, it is clear that in addition to Capital Today and Liang Botao, there is another angel

Investors.

And the only one who can make Liu Qiangdong go out to greet him in person is the remaining investor. Well, his name should be Lu Heng!

But when everyone saw the 1.8-meter-tall man with a smiling face next to Liu Qiangdong, the media colleagues couldn't help but look at each other.

JD.com’s third investor is so young?

Could it be the two older men and women behind the young man?

However, it seemed that both of them were following the lead of the young man in front of them, so it seemed that the only possibility was that it was him.

Having said that, no one stopped shooting, and the sound of clicking was heard endlessly. No matter what, these are important materials for tomorrow's article.

"The founder of JD.com personally went out to meet the mysterious young man. Who is he?"

"During the financial crisis, he was the first man to boldly invest in e-commerce, regardless of the possibility of an Internet bubble!"

"Director Lu, this is the ordinary guest seat. Your employees should sit here first!" Liu Qiangdong pointed to a row of arranged chairs and said. There are only chairs but no tables, and there is no indication of whose seat belongs to them.

, this is a place where ordinary guests can sit.

Lu Heng asked Liao Fan and others to sit down here without comment, and then followed Liu Qiangdong to the front.

When they reached the first row, the two of them stopped.

"Director Lu, this is your place! Sorry, I have to prepare for the opening ceremony. Please leave Director Lu to rest alone."

Liu Qiangdong said apologetically.

Lu Heng smiled and waved his hand, pointing to the smiling old man beside him, "It's okay, you can go! Don't I have Mr. Liang here?"

Liang Botao smiled and nodded. His position was right next to Lu Heng, making it easier to talk.

Liu Qiangdong is gone and the press conference is about to begin. Now JD.com does not have its own official media spokesperson, so everything has to be done by him, the founder.

Lu Heng sat down next to Liang Botao, looked at the old man in a red Tang suit, and said hello to him.

"Mr. Liang, long time no see, you look more energetic again!"

Liang Botao shook his head, "Anyway, you young people are one year older, but unlike old men like me, I am getting closer to the coffin every Spring Festival. Alas, I am getting old!"

"Old, that means getting stronger with age! What's more, Mr. Liang is not old at all. According to the legal retirement age in the mainland, you are in your prime years during your working life."

Liang Botao chuckled. Everyone likes to hear compliments and comfortable words, but who wants to admit that he is old!

Lu Heng was also smiling at the side, but he was feeling emotional in his heart.

Calculated, Liang Botao is the same age as Tang Changyuan of his company, both in their mid-fifties, but if you just look at their appearance, no one would associate the two with each other.

Liang Botao actually looks a little too old, just like an old man in his sixties.

Maybe this has something to do with the fact that he has experienced so many ups and downs in life! How could an ordinary person have such rich life experiences?

The two chatted for a while, and Liang Botao suddenly stopped talking about things related to him, and instead brought the topic to Lu Heng.

"Speaking of which, Director Lu, I have some curiosity about your Hengcheng Group. I wonder if you can shed some light on it for me."

Lu Heng twitched his eyebrows, "You said, if you can solve it, it will be no problem."

"That should be no problem." Liang Botao chuckled and then asked: "I want to know whether you plan to build Hengcheng into a business group that spans the entire automobile industry, or just do automobile retail?"

Lu Heng did not answer immediately. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Why did you say that?"

Liang Botao seemed to be recalling and said: "I remember when we first met, I heard you tell Huang Guan that your company covers new car sales in 4S stores, second-hand car recycling and retail, and accessories supply and licensing.

Insurance services, after-sales services, and even plans to enter automotive e-commerce, insurance claims, etc. This is not a small goal. On the contrary, if you want to fully understand these, it will require a huge investment of manpower and material resources. I thought you were talking big.

It was just for fun, but after getting to know it more, I found that you are really moving towards this goal."

"You checked on me?"

Lu Heng narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.

Liang Botao didn't take Lu Heng's sudden change of attitude seriously and instead admitted with a smile.

"I did investigate, because I feel that careful investigation of potential partners with whom I can cooperate can help me avoid loss of profits."

Lu Heng was a little unhappy. The feeling of being secretly investigated would be uncomfortable for anyone.

"I don't think there can be any cooperation between you and me, except for investing in JD.com together this time! My company currently does not need to be listed on the market, and it does not accept external capital financing, so I am afraid that all your efforts will be in vain."

The old man shook his head, rubbed his wrinkled chin and said: "I don't think so, Director Lu, your impression of me is still from when I was young. Now I rarely help people run companies to go public. Hong

The title "Father of Fundraising" came from many years ago. Now, aside from being an angel investor, I have another identity. That is the founder of Xinyuan Guarantee, and Xinyuan Guarantee is engaged in automobile financial services, and more importantly, Xinyuan Guarantee is engaged in automobile financial services.

Coincidentally, the company you founded, Director Lu, currently does not have a partner for automobile financial services, well, banks are not included!"

Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, and then thought that when he and Liang Botao first met, Xu Xin had introduced Liang Botao's information.

He also specifically mentioned the possibility of cooperating with him. At the time, he thought it was just a perfunctory remark from the first meeting, but he didn't expect that the old man next to him would always keep it in mind.

Regarding Hengcheng Group’s auto finance services, as of now, there is indeed no private partner.

It is more linked to several big banks, such as China Construction Bank, ICBC, and Chongqing Bank. As for the profits there, to be honest, it is not much.

If we look at Hengcheng's future development plan, it will also focus on second-hand cars and decoration.

Even Zhao Jing's original macro plan only needed to be supplemented later on in the insurance business and did not involve financial services.

It's not that the profits from financial services are low, which they don't consider. On the contrary, the profits from financial lending are extremely high, which can be seen from the fact that major banks are involved.

"Director Lu, the main direction of my Xinyuan Guarantee is not Hong Kong and Taiwan, but the mainland. So far, I don't have a fixed partner for cooperation, I think."

Lu Heng interrupted him and pointed at Liu Qiangdong on the press platform.

"The press conference has begun. Let's talk about cooperation later!"
Chapter completed!
