Chapter 132: Second Round of Financing
Meng Qian has always been humble and seeking advice about what he doesn't understand, especially after officially becoming a partner of "One Boat", he will not let go of the resources at hand. The development of the company, another company, the future strategic layout, etc., have been discussed.
In the end, Meng Qian decided to put the new technology company abroad.
There are many reasons for this, including the requirements of the "plan" and the problem of the Chinese and Western camps - if all battery technology were Chinese, it would likely be thwarted and ill-intentioned. If the technology is too advanced, it will be the host country. Protection; The market is too large, and there is also a suspicion of monopoly.
Based on these precautions, Meng Qian tends to engage in technical cooperation, and if it is a single company, it may face technological protection in the host country, hindering global commercialization. However, if two enterprises cooperate across borders, the premise of technological protection does not exist.
Once he had a plan and handed it over to his subordinates to refine, he spent his time playing and socializing. This time, there were a lot of business partners who came over, and there were social activities every night, and he even went to the Grand Theater to watch a ballet with Chinese elements, which also cultivated his sentiments.
The queue was also full during the day, and he and Wang Manwen, as people who were more familiar with Haishi, were responsible for taking the Stone father and daughter and a group of white foreigners to play. Walking around to see all kinds of strangeness, they were very curious about a stone lion statue filled with garbage, and took pictures around, thinking it was a work of art.
Meng Qian glanced at it and was dumbfounded.
As soon as Wang Manwen wanted to explain something, he gave Tygra a handful: "Don't waste your saliva." ”
"Hey, hey." Meng Qian couldn't help but snicker.
Tiger was expressionless, but Juliana was ignorant, pulling him to grunt, although their father and daughter could speak English, but the communication was mainly Spanish.
Tiger didn't know what to say, so Juliana picked up her camera and went to film them.
"Is it really okay for you to do this?" Meng Qian was speechless.
"Have some fun. Life is too boring. Tiger had many reasons and pointed ahead: "Next stop, let's go and see the containers." ”
"That is an ancient Chinese container?" Someone asked curiously.
"Like thousands of years ago." There is also speculation.
Meng Qian glanced at it, isn't that a spittoon?
"Bottled up, huh?" Steve exposes the essence of foodies.
"yes, you can try." Tiger nodded unkindly.
"Oh my God." Wang Manwen was really convinced, she couldn't make up for the scene where they toasted with a spittoon.
……
It was a great time to spend a few days in Haishi. The foreigners also happily gained their knowledge.
After that, they were going to travel to the next stop in the capital, and Meng Qian and Wang Manwen's reception mission was finally over. Meng Qian's affairs in China are over, and Wang Manwen continues to go to class, and her senior year will not end until December, although Meng Qian can easily let her graduate.
But she wanted to rely on her own strength, and he didn't bother to say.
A few days later, Wang Manwen sent him to the airport, and said something on the way: "Our green card will probably be obtained in early October, pay attention to the notice." ”
"I'll keep an eye on it." Meng Qian nodded.
The car arrived at the airport quickly. Wang Manwen stopped to see him off, checked the items he was carrying, and told him some things over there...... Meng Qian nodded, she is indeed a careful person, she will take good care of herself, she is also capable in her career, and her EQ and IQ are not low.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, ignore her beautiful appearance. Her inner strengths are also numerous. It's no wonder that Gong Hui is optimistic about her, and she puts these conditions out. Few people can compare and can see the capable goddess. It's just that he hasn't had that feeling to settle down yet.
"It's all right." She handed it to him.
Meng Qian was stunned, she frowned: "Hey." ”
"Oh." Meng Qian reacted and kissed her on the cheek.
Wang Manwen felt funny: "I mean taking things." ”
"It's the same." Meng Qian grabbed his shoulder bag, "See you next time, don't always be too busy." It's better to spend some time on yourself. ”
"Hmm." Wang Manwen feels that he is very good like this, he can see the changes from the details, and after getting along for a while, they are indeed influencing each other.
"It's almost time to go." Meng Qian looked at his watch and hugged her again.
"Bye-bye." She waved her hand. Watch him leave.
After passing the security check, getting on the plane, arriving in San Francisco after more than ten hours, I used the car rental software to call a car, rushed to my home in the Bay Area, and spent a while adjusting to the time difference. When I woke up, I got used to it. In the state of no one around, he began to live on his own.
Eating bread, milk, and omelettes, thinking about your work plan.
In terms of time, AI research takes the longest time, perhaps more than ten years.
The second is stem cell engineering, which takes five or six years just for clinical trials.
Again, a new type of battery technology, which will take three years, and possibly longer.
He listed his tasks on the drawings, and his thoughts suddenly became clear. No wonder he is always short of money, he makes long-term investments, and the initial cost is particularly huge, like a bottomless pit with no future in sight. He needed a project that would make a profit in the short term and fill the gap.
But this kind of investment also has to take into account the comparison of returns and years, and then consider the difficulty and profit margins, or the size of the market, competitors...... Meng Qian scratched his head, feeling that Wang Manwen should have come to investigate, and she could always make up for his shortcomings in this regard.
Meng Qian stared at the paper for twenty minutes before finally giving up.
He couldn't think of a suitable project. Although there are many and strong technologies in the head, they are easy and worthless, and they are worth a long time. He can't extract analysis from it bit by bit, he needs a shining point, just like when he thought of developing a battery because his phone was out of battery.
Can't think of it now...... He gets down to business first.
Wells Fargo Power is preparing for a major event - the second round of financing.
This round of financing has attracted much attention, because there are more than 20 participating companies, car companies, high-tech companies, fund companies, etc., and the amount of financing is also unusually high, which will provide up to $6 billion in financing, comparable to the IPO of large companies, God knows how they did it.
Compared with the previous financing, this time can be described as a huge momentum, if the previous time is to open the door to the new energy industry for automobiles, this time is undoubtedly sounding the rallying cry for the development of new energy - large enterprises, large consortia are involved, all walks of life are singing.
The world's major financial media and even the government are paying close attention to this financing, which involves many countries and many fields, and will also affect the pattern and development model of new energy in the future. Even because of the large number of foreign investments, the US security services are meddling.
Strictly speaking, although Wells Fargo Power is controlled by Wells Fargo Group, its registered place is not China, and according to the concept of the location of the headquarters, the US government has the right to review major investment and financing behaviors, and consider technical security and protection. Of course, it ended up being a program.
The Wall Street Journal disclosed that after this financing, Wells Fargo's shareholding will be reduced to 66%, and the rest will be held by major companies. The proceeds of the financing may be used to supply new energy vehicle batteries to Europe, and the factory location may be in India.
After the news came out, various new energy-related stocks rose again.
The writer of this in-depth news is Christine, and she did not disappoint Meng Qian, focusing on every point he emphasized, including the construction of new energy vehicles in Europe and factories in India. Successfully spread the flame that burned in East Asia and North America to South Asia and Europe.
The media, newspapers and periodicals have also issued optimistic voices such as the arrival of the era of new energy vehicles and the rise of new industries, and there are many economic commentators who also have a positive attitude towards this, believing that the time for the outbreak of new technologies has come, and Fuguo Power will form a market leader in the future.
In short, it is a good song, and investors are extremely enthusiastic.
