Even if Xing Baohua doesn't say anything, no one will do anything to him.
At most, more people are buying information about his company.
This guy plans to start slowly selling off his stocks in May or June, aiming to sell them all by October.
With the global economy booming and prices soaring, Xing Baohua's shares have increased five or sixfold, bringing their total value to nearly four billion yuan.
This includes additional income such as dividends and stock splits.
People who make a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars in the stock market are overjoyed, but Xing Baohua has made about ten times that amount.
Regardless of the rumors circulating outside, Xing Baohua finally met Ofrecht and his small team.
There are five people in total.
The young master shareholders own many cars, and they have good relationships with car enthusiasts, car modifiers, and some car repair shops.
One phone call and you can book for ten days or half a month.
The car modification shop is located near the racecourse and football field. The site is quite large, with two large repair shops and many luxury cars parked around it.
Xing Baohua drove here with Ofrecht to meet with A Liang, the owner of the car modification shop.
Those who modify cars are generally quite skilled. Of course, Ah Liang had long admired Ofrecht.
Xing Baohua not only contracted the workshop, but also A Liang's team.
The DMC was completely disassembled, and detailed data records were made.
Ah Liang's team thought Xing Baohua was going to modify the DMC, but modifying the DMC wouldn't make much difference. Even if they replaced it with a better engine, other configurations would be drastically changed.
Many cars aren't modified haphazardly; they're modified based on the chassis.
Don't be fooled by the large engine in the DMC; it doesn't make the car very fast. If you were to replace it with a more powerful engine, you'd need to fine-tune the chassis and suspension systems. At higher speeds, the chassis would feel lighter, making it prone to instability.
Some cars even roll 360 or 720 degrees after starting, which can be considered a case of failed takeoff.
The Alibaba team didn't know much about DMC and advised Xing Baohua not to work with this type of car model.
Xing Baohua said with a smile, "I'm not changing it, I'm just taking it apart for fun. Let your people take it apart."
With the elder brother speaking, Ali and the others stopped talking and ordered their men to begin dismantling the structure.
Overeicht and his team began data analysis on some of the spare parts.
With a clear division of labor, Xing Baohua returned to the company and met with Hendricks of Sequoia Capital again.
Xing Baohua wanted to confirm whether DMC's production line could be transported to China. If the other party affirmed this, Xing Baohua and the technical team, including Overeich, would visit the production line.
If it can be used or modified, Xing Baohua will give up some profits in exchange for the production line.
Sequoia Capital's response was the same as Xing Baohua's: the production lines in Afghanistan and Pakistan were not two, but four.
Once Xing Baohua decides to buy, Sequoia Capital will contact other investors, secure their shares, and sell them to Xing Baohua as a package deal.
It may be troublesome to operate, but in the face of profits, no trouble matters.
In order to give Sequoia Capital a little something in return, Xing Baohua gave Sequoia Capital a quota of 300 million yuan to join his private fund.
Xing Baohua didn't mention any specific projects, only two investment options: the first with a guaranteed annual return of 8%.
Regardless of whether the investment project made a lot of money or a lot of money, Xing Baohua had to pay the other party 8% of the return and principal according to the contract.
The second type involves risk-related risks, with returns between 25% and 30%.
If there is a loss, then you will also lose 25-30%.
The investment period is approximately five years, with settlement based on project completion.
There will be no dividends or other benefits within the next five years.
Guaranteed dividends may seem like a safe bet, but the returns are relatively low, only one or two percentage points higher than bank fixed deposits.
Sequoia Capital, seeing that Xing Baohua had made an offer, decisively chose the second type of venture capital.
Even if Xing Baohua's fund suffers losses, the maximum loss of 30% is still much better than those who lose everything and can't be found.
The two parties first reached a verbal agreement, and then set a time to sign a contract.
Xing Baohua then contacted car manufacturers in Afghanistan and Pakistan through Sequoia Capital, and planned to take a team there for inspection.
However, we'll have to wait until Overeicht has finished researching the DMC chassis data before we go there.
After the chassis data is obtained, the chassis needs to be matched with the model provided by Xing Baohua. What if the model provided by Xing Baohua is not suitable for this chassis?
You can either buy a ready-made chassis or develop your own chassis technology, along with a suspension system.
The deeper you delve into car collecting, the more difficult it becomes.
Back in the day, our first and second generation of automotive engineers confidently declared when building cars, "Isn't it just four wheels, an engine, and a steering wheel? Easy peasy."
It sounds simple, and it really was simple back then.
There's no particular requirement or pursuit; I don't care about comfort, fuel consumption, or anything like that—as long as it can run, that's fine.
But things are different now. We need to add a lot of elements. If there are no outstanding selling points, who will buy it?
Just like DMC, the sports cars are slow, consume a lot of fuel, and have a rigid appearance.
People who buy this car are mainly interested in the way the doors open. It's mostly for showing off; it has absolutely no practical value.
Professional matters should be left to professionals. Xing Baohua and others have signed a private agreement with Sequoia Capital. They plan to transfer $300 million to the US stock market, initially making one or two medium-term trades to earn some small profits. When the time is right, they will then short the stock index.
The kind of stimulation that causes a drop of hundreds of points in an instant will definitely stimulate a person's adrenaline.
Besides running around the server room, Xing Baohua spent his time looking at Ericsson's systems.
There's also the constant testing of wireless protocols, troubleshooting, and so on.
I've been quite busy lately, so busy that I haven't even had time to go to Master Zhou's house for some nourishing soup.
