Chapter Ninety-Five: Selecting a Foundry

When Zhang Yida and Zhao Erya's family were eating together, Zhao Wenbin suddenly remembered something and asked Zhang Yida:

"Yida, what do you think of cloud computing? I went to Qianzhou and planned to start with this part to attract investment. ”

Zhang Yida suddenly remembered a project in later generations, "Qianzhou on the Cloud", was it led by Zhao Wenbin?

Putting down the chopsticks, Zhang Yida exclaimed: "Uncle Zhao, cloud computing is very suitable for Qianzhou! Your idea is very good, and when you start to officially attract investment, Ruixiang will also participate in one." ”

Zhao Wenbin looked at Zhang Yida with interest and said, "Why is cloud computing suitable for Qianzhou? ”

Zhang Yida was not timid, and began to analyze him:

"First, abundant power resources. One of the typical characteristics of data centers is power consumption, and the premise of large power consumption is sufficient power supply, and Qianzhou's hydropower resources are very abundant and have inherent advantages.

Second, the climate in Qianzhou is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very conducive to data centers to save electricity. Data centers emit enormous amounts of heat during use, and the cooling equipment required consumes about 40% of the total power consumption. And Qianzhou's climate can greatly reduce such expenditures.

Third, there are few geological disasters. Data centers are most afraid of flooding. Geological disasters can not only cause hardware damage, but also data loss. However, the frequency of natural disasters in Qianzhou is low, and there is no threat of earthquakes, typhoons and floods.

Fourth, support the large-scale development of the western region. Enterprises need to save costs and seek new development opportunities, while the country needs to develop the western region on a large scale, and vigorously develop industries such as IT Internet and big data in the western region. ”

Zhao Wenbin nodded, and Zhang Yida got to the point. Why did you give up your coastal identity and choose to go to Qianzhou, and also plan to vigorously introduce the cloud computing industry?

In the final analysis, it is because it is easy to make political achievements when you go to Qianzhou, and even if you go to developed coastal provinces, it is not obvious to make political achievements.

Zhao Wenbin looked at Zhang Yida and asked with a smile:

"Are you familiar with Erma and Robin Lee, are you going to be a lobbyist for me?"

"Robin Lee dealt with me and invested in my venture capital fund. On his side, I can try it. The second horse is not familiar, and you have to go out in person, Uncle Zhao. ”

Zhang Yida also told the truth, now Ruixiang and Penguin, Ahri have a lot of competition in mobile payment, and the door-to-door may be counterproductive.

Zhao Wenbin was silent for a few seconds and said, "This matter is not in a hurry. First of all, we have to set up a project in Qianzhou, and then talk about the follow-up after it is passed. At that time, I also plan to visit a few Internet leaders in person. ”

Zhang Yida thought, Zhao Wenbin personally came to the door to be more convincing, at least it showed the attitude and determination of the government, otherwise why should people invest?

Late at night.

"Didn't you sleep in the guest room? ”

"It's a little hot, I can't sleep!"

"What if my parents find out later?"

"Don't worry, it won't ......"

"Then you move quietly!"

"Hehe, it's you who moves a little bit!"

"Hmph, it's not all you, a dead man, so hard!"

......

Zhang Yida went to the suburban laboratory of Huimin Bicycle and found that the shape of the bicycle had been finalized.

A bicycle with green paint was placed in front of Zhang Yida, Zhang Yida lifted it, it was quite heavy, I am afraid that there are thirty or forty pounds.

There is also a frame in front of the bicycle, which is loaded for the user when riding, Zhang Yida pressed and dragged it, and it was quite sturdy.

It's not okay not to be strong, some users are estimated to have to use this box for personal ......

Zhang Yida got on his bicycle and walked around the open area of the laboratory, feeling quite comfortable to ride. It's a solid tire, and it's a bit hard to pedal.

After putting away the bicycle, Zhang Yida clapped his hands, motioned for the engineers to come around, and praised with a smile:

"Our Huimin bicycle has finally been finalized, and everyone has worked hard for more than a month. However, it was all worth it.

What we want to do is a big thing to change the way people across the country travel. When the streets are full of our little green cars in the future, you can proudly say to your friends: See, the little green car, I developed it. ”

Only then did everyone know that this little green car was going to be promoted to the whole country, and it had to be spread all over the street. , I feel proud to think about it. In the future, you can also pretend to be forced in front of your friends in a low-key manner: Do you think the little green car is easy to ride? If it is not easy to ride, I will change the next car.

Chartered a large box in the hotel and ordered a large table of dishes, Zhang Yida entertained the more than 20 engineers, which can be regarded as a celebration for them.

For more than a month, this group of people has been nesting in a suburban factory, working overtime to design a little green car. There are both merit and hard work.

Zhang Yida announced at the wine table:

"Then the little green car will start to take off. I reserved a 10% option pool for everyone, and after the little green car was introduced to the market, I will distribute options to everyone according to merit after the first shot.

Therefore, we must not relax in the future. It is necessary to cheer up, observe more defects and deficiencies after the bicycle is introduced to the market, and optimize it in time.

We must give users the best experience and the best shared bicycles. ”

Everyone also responded, saying that they would follow Mr. Zhang to expand the territory of the little green car to the whole country.

Then Zhang Yida called Lei Dongming to the suburban factory and showed him an experimental bicycle.

Lei Dongming didn't expect them to come out so quickly, and he was a little surprised.

Lei Dongming downloaded the APP that had not yet been put on the shelves of the experimental version of Huimin Bicycle and registered an account.

Then I logged in to the APP and scanned the QR code on the bicycle, and operated a few times on the page that popped up on the mobile phone, and only heard a "click" after a few seconds.

Lei Dongming hurriedly squatted down to see that the smart lock on the rear wheel had been unlocked, and the vehicle could ride freely.

I looked at the phone page again, and the billing has begun.

Lei Dongming gave a thumbs up and praised: "Amazing, this smart lock has a communication module!"

Zhang Yida nodded: "This is a combination of software and hardware, and 2G traffic can be unlocked, which is very convenient." ”

Lei Dongming rode his bicycle around, and after coming back and locking the smart lock, he looked at the mobile phone page, and sure enough, the billing was over.

"Vote!" Lei Dongming waved his hand, and the temperament of the local tyrant was fully revealed.

"Okay, put in $2.5 million and give you 5% of the shares. Zhang Yida also said generously, let Huayi Capital get on the car first, and the fertilizer water will not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Lei Dongming scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "This is too ruthless, isn't it! This is a post-investment valuation of 50 million US dollars?"

Big brother, this is just an angel round, and the products have not yet been reviewed by the market. ”

Zhang Yida shook his head: "I have invested tens of millions of dollars in this project, and now it is estimated that more than 300 million is not much!"

Lei Dongming thought about it, if he really did it all over the country as Zhang Yida said, putting millions of bicycles into it, it would be valued at least billions of dollars at that time. It's only $50 million now, and it's really not a lot of valuation.

"Okay, it's just 5% of the shares, but you have to spend some money steadily, at least make some splashes. It's okay to say if you make money, but if you lose money, the two of us will definitely be criticized for insider trading. In the future, if Huayi Capital wants to raise funds, it will be difficult to gain the trust of investors. ”

Lei Dongming was a little worried, and it can be said that he told Zhang Yida all the words that were heartfelt.

From his point of view, it can be said that all factors have been taken into account, the responsibilities and obligations of investors, the friendship with Zhang Yida, and professional ethics, and finally agreed to this investment plan.

"Old Lei, righteous enough. Rest assured, this wave will never let you lose. ”

Zhang Yida knew that his conditions were a bit harsh, and to be more serious, Huimin Bicycle's current valuation of $50 million was indeed too much of a premium.

However, after the operation of Huimin Bicycle was done well, the valuation came up, and the 5% stake was enough for him to earn.

Huimin Bicycle shares were changed to:

Zhang Yida: 85%

Option Pool: 10%

Huayi Capital: 5%

Yimin Bicycle Company was previously invested by Zhang Yida with a personal capital of 16 million yuan, and at present, nearly 4 million yuan has been spent on personnel salaries, office rent, R&D costs, and the purchase of communication solutions.

At present, the company still has 12 million yuan of remaining funds, plus the 2.5 million US dollars (equivalent to 15.4 million yuan) injected by Huayi Capital, a total of 27.4 million yuan.

Huimin Bicycle currently has a team of more than 20 hardware engineers, a software research and development team of more than 20 people, and then recruits hundreds of offline dispatchers, and the monthly salary expenditure is nearly 2 million yuan.

Zhang Yida decided to leave 7.4 million yuan, which is enough to pay 3 months' salary, and the other 20 million yuan will be used to purchase bicycles.

Zhang Yida drove to Tianjin with a few people from Huimin Bicycle, found the Fujita factory, and prepared to hand over the first batch of bike-sharing orders to them.

Fuji-ta factory is the world's largest bicycle manufacturer, with an annual production and sales volume of more than 10 million units, with a full range of production capacity, is a bicycle as the main product, set design, research and development, production and sales in one of the large companies.

He has also worked for Specialized, Scott, Bianchi and other internationally renowned bicycle brands. It is also the main OEM manufacturer of FOF in later generations.

Fuji-ta still attaches great importance to Zhang Yida and his entourage, and Zhao Gang, general manager of Tianjin Branch, personally received him.

After all, it is an order of 20 million yuan, and it is said that there will be additional orders after the cooperation. This is a big customer and must stay.

Zhao Gang took Zhang Yida and his entourage around the entire foundry and said:

As the world's largest bicycle manufacturer, Fuji-ta chose us to cooperate and complete the order with absolute quality and quantity. ”

Zhang Yida nodded: "It is precisely because of your company's fame and hard brand that we have listed your company as the first stop for inspection." ”

Then Zhang Yida asked Zhao Gang to show the design of the Huimin bicycle and said:

"Mr. Zhao, look at this design drawing, this is the bicycle we want. Can you give us an offer?"

Zhao Gang took the design drawing and looked at it, and knew that this bicycle was very exquisite, not a big road goods, so he said:

"Mr. Zhang, your bicycle is not cheap!"

Zhang Yida looked at Zhao Gang and said:

"Yes, I know it's not cheap. You see how much it costs to make this bike according to our design drawings and the materials we requested? You give me a detailed quote. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yida paused, and said in an accentuated tone:

"The first phase of cooperation is only 20 million, but the second and third orders will be 200 million, 20 billion. So, please give me a price for a long term cooperation!

In addition, this is not to fool you, I also have two financial groups under my umbrella, Ruixiang Jinke and Yimin Financial Services, I am also quite famous in the business field, and I will not give you empty cannons.

Next, we will go to Futukang and Giant, Phoenix and Permanent, so we will go first. ”

After speaking, Zhang Yida threw down a design drawing to Zhao Gang, and left Fuji-ta with people.
