Chapter 1024: Does He Need Those 200 Million?
"Brother Li, are you talking about smartphones?"
Hearing Li Lei's words, Zhou Anan couldn't help but paused while picking up the dishes in her hand. Then she put the dishes in the bowl, put down her chopsticks, turned around and asked a question.
"Yes, the smartphone market has more than doubled this year compared to last year, and this is just the data from the first three quarters. It is expected to be at least three times as large as last year by the end of the year."
Seeing that the other party was quite interested, Li Lei became excited and started the usual operation of a veteran angel investor - giving a speech (deceiving others).
I'm not afraid of repeating myself, I'm just afraid that no one will listen.
If we can get the big boss behind the celebrity group to join the smartphone investment plan, then it will be easy to find other people to invest in the future.
Compared to him as a freelance angel investor, the title of founder of Mingliu Group is much more useful.
"What, Lao Li, are you trying to trick others into joining your smartphone development project again? We all know that smartphones are the trend of the times, but isn't it too late for you to join now? Brother An, don't listen to his nonsense. Without billions of dollars invested in this phone, you can't even hear the sound."
As a new acquaintance, Shi Bing was still very enthusiastic in helping the other party avoid falling into the trap.
Earlier, when everyone was eating melon seeds and chatting, Li Lei mentioned the smartphone development project, but everyone present agreed that it was too late to get involved.
You should know that Apple has launched the 3G version, which has swept the entire European and American smartphone market. Even Hawaii, which is not well-known in China, has invested hundreds of billions in the smartphone project.
The market for this industry is huge, but the risks are also great. Perhaps you may invest tens of billions of dollars and only get to see some returns.
"I think Brother Li's idea is very good. Now that the 3G version of Apple has appeared, when the 3G network is fully released, it will definitely change the current smart phone landscape. At present, the only manufacturers that can really keep up with the development of smart phones are Apple and Five Star. In China, only Xiawei can compete. The blank market in the low-end and mid-range is huge and there is a lot of room for development."
After thanking Mr. Shi for his enthusiasm with his eyes, Zhou Anan spoke up to support Li Lei's opinion.
Just kidding, a few years later, Xiaosu, developed by the other party, really demonstrated the essence of hunger marketing and was firmly ranked among the top five domestic smartphone manufacturers, making a ton of money.
On the contrary, the manufacturers who now follow the trend and produce low-end machines and have no self-competitiveness will enjoy a moment of glory, but will gradually be eliminated by the market and finally become the dust of history.
"Brother An still understands me. Come, I'll toast you a glass."
After hearing the younger brother's approval, Li Lei raised his glass readily.
Even if the other party does not invest, this sentence can be regarded as a vindication for his new project, so he has made it worthwhile.
"Brother Li, don't take this opportunity to force me to drink."
After signaling to the other party, Zhou An'an asked, "Brother Li, how much money do you plan to invest in the development of smartphones?"
"Well, I plan to start with low-end and mid-range assembled machines. Actually, what Lao Shi said is right. It is indeed a bit late to enter the mobile phone industry now. But as Brother An said, my country's layout in the smartphone industry..."
After suppressing his patience and listening to a bunch of short speeches that were not very informative, Zhou Anan, who did not care whether to start his own brand in the early stage, decided to go straight to the point: "Brother Li, just tell me how much money you want to invest. If you think it's appropriate, I'll invest a little too."
There are reports online that Li Lei is decisive and resolute in his work, but the fact that he is so nagging when trying to attract investment is totally different from the angel investor he imagined.
"500 million. I plan to try my hand with 500 million first. Now I have raised 300 million, and I still need 200 million."
In order to prevent this young man, who was rarely interested in listening to his future plans, from backing off, Li Lei briefly talked about the scale of the lack of funds.
In recent years, he has invested everywhere, but the harvest has not yet come, and the funds on hand are limited. Otherwise, he would not have to look for others to cooperate with.
In fact, he can only come up with 200 million now.
So far, no one else has confirmed to join. The extra 100 million is completely fictitious and is meant to give investors confidence.
Of course, if no one invests, he can still squeeze together 300 million yuan, but the investment risk is too great.
Bringing others into the partnership is also to share the risk. After all, no investment can be foolproof.
"Two hundred million?"
Hearing this number, Zhou Anan couldn't help but frowned. It was a little too little.
"If Brother An can invest 100 million, I will give you 22% of the shares."
Seeing the other party frowning, Li Lei, who thought his plan was going to fail, gave an amount.
Generally speaking, if investors put up real money and do not ask for anything in return, their investment share will definitely be a little less than the actual amount.
If the other party could invest 100 million, he would be very satisfied, and it would not be a loss to give a 22-point share.
With the big boss behind the celebrity group joining in, will the remaining 100 million or 200 million still be a problem?
The reputation effect of the other party alone cannot be compared with tens of millions.
"No, Brother Li misunderstood. I just think that 500 million in the early stage is a little too little."
Seeing that the other party misunderstood what he meant, Zhou Anan hurriedly explained.
Even if we enter the market by assembling machines, is this money enough to get a share of the mobile phone industry?
You should know that Xiawei's annual investment in mobile phone research and development is in the billions, and will be in the tens of billions in the future. Not to mention the foreign mobile phone leaders Apple and Skyworth, whose research and development funds are in the tens of billions of dollars.
Could it be that Xiaosu’s hunger marketing in his previous life was forced out by funding issues?
"It's a lot. The cost of assembling mobile phones is not as high as you think. We can invest while selling them."
"Then if I invest 200 million, how many shares will Brother Li give me?"
Resisting the urge to pinch her eyebrows, Zhou Anan asked with a smile.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiaosu would be worth $100 billion in the future, he probably wouldn't want to invest in the other party.
It's not like he doesn't understand. Is Zhou the kind of person who needs to understand the development trend of the mobile phone industry just because of an investment of 200 million yuan?
Does he need those 200 million?
".38%."
Li Lei was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party thought he was unreliable, but he heard that the young man wanted to invest. After thinking for two seconds, he made a reasonable offer.
100 million is 22%, 200 million is 38%, nothing wrong with that.
If the other party only invests 100 million, he would still like to find someone else to invest in the remaining 100 million, and give a maximum of 15 points.
"Okay, I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow."
Without worrying about where the so-called 2% went, Zhou Anan said directly.
As the shares are diluted in the future, as long as he can maintain more than 20% of the shares, that would be at least $20 billion.
"good."
Hearing such a straightforward answer from the other party, Li Lei, who had invested in many industries, was slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded.
Although the other party acted so carelessly, Li Lei did not find it strange at all.
He knew that in addition to seeing the huge market for smartphones, the other party also had confidence in him.
He is so young and has such a vigorous and resolute style, and he also has a unique vision. No wonder he has built such a huge industry at such a young age. The younger generation is pushing the older generation forward.
"Why, Brother An, are you interested in Mr. Li's smart phone project? How about I invest a little bit, Mr. Li, is he still short of funds?"
Chen Yuhua, who was chatting with others but occasionally paying attention to his younger brother, was moved when he heard that the other party was so straightforward to invest 200 million yuan, and turned to ask Li Lei about the new project that had been ignored before.
